OTHER VIEW POINTS

Charles Evans Hughes in his review of the peace treaty situation points out the common sense of the situation. The Senate. as he shows, can suggest mod these notifications part of the reso- lution by which the treaty is adopted by the United States.
 If these ideas, thus injected into the treaty by the United States, are agree able to every other nation, it will make no difference.
 If the ideas are objected to by any treaty then the treaty will fail and must go back to the peace conference
 It is up to the United States senate if really bent upon changing the treaty-to take this responsibility and go as far as it likes.-Bridgeport Post
 Everybody admits that the present system of appropriating the public money by Congress is unscientif1c and wasteful. But there is an equally gen eral confession that reform is diff cult. At present a serious step to- ward this reform is being taken in legislation authorizing the Speaker to create a special committee of 12 to be called the select committee on the budget. This committee will take charge of several bills, which have already been prepared, some of them with great care. and which now lie in the hands of Chairman Good of the Appropria tions Committee, or have been distributed by him among two or three other committee. There was little chance of an agreement on any one of these measures, and the special committee to consider them has been appointed to see what it can do.- Waterbury American.

A RACE IN PERIL.

Pitiable is the plight and the crisis one of life and death for the Jews ir Europe, according to the report of Investigators returning from there Nothing but instant and generous | help from American Jewry can avert the danger that the race in Europe
 may be destroyed. say these men who | have seen the conditions.
 l For the purpose of centralizins American Jewish aid and coordinatins it with the relief efforts put forth by England, France and other countries Felix M. Warburg. the Wall street banker and head of the joint distrib-
 ution committee of the Jewish relief fund.- has called a conference of Jew
 ish leaders to determine what can
 be done.
 They will have put before them the reports of critical conditions in east tine, by Jewish commissioners, whose first-hand observations are confirmed in a recent statement given out by the American Red Cross. This statement was contained in a dispatch from Frank w. America, one of that or ganization's agents in Warsaw.
 'fThe American Red Cross party writes MT. America. visited scores of cities, towns and villages, from big towns like Brest-Litovsk and Bielos- tok to the smaller villages like ka- mien- Kaszyrski. where there was not a single doctor for 3,000,000 inhabi- tants and not a house where at least one was not down with typhus, tu- berculosis or smallpox. The people were subsisting on a sort of bread. an awful black substance. made of bark from oak trees. aeorns chaff and heather but containing no particle of flour. In some villages this so- called bread was made a little more palatable with potato peelings.
 We passed from village to village and everywhere found famine and dis ease. Many villages were absolutely uninhabited. There was not a living thing in them except the inevitable carrion crow. and we wondered why he hovered there. It was as if blight had passed over the whole land.

Origin of the Loving Cup.

It said that the origin of the "1ov- ing cup" is traceable to Henry ". of France. While hunting he strayed from his companions. and feeling thirsty, called at a wayside inn for a cup of wine. The serving maid, on handing it to him as he sat on horse Some of the wine was spilled, and the kings white gauntlets were soiled
 As he was riding home the thought came to him that a two-handled cup would prevent a recurrence of this accident so he had two-handled cup made at the royal potteries and sent it to the inn. On his next visit he called again for wine, when to his as- tonishment the maid. having received instructions from her mistress to be very careful of the kig's cup. present. ed it to him by holding 1t herself by each of it's handles.

AMERICAS OPPORTUNITY.

Team-play between American bank .ng institutions, American manufac- turers and producers and the govern ment of the United States will place this country in a position of unchal- lenged leadership in the affairs of the world through putting Europe on it's feet financially and industrially Through these four factors can the pressing needs of Europe for food araw material, coal and machinery be sup piled, says Charles H. Sabin, president of g big New York banking company.
 Food for the hungry in Europe and work for the idle must be provided if they are to maintain stable political conditions and begin production. He recommends as one of the measures that could be taken immediately the extension of credit. under proper se- curity, to foreign buyers. and that this government should assume whatever risk is involved. With the endorse ment of foreign banks and foreign governments this should be negligi- ble.
 This is a time when all thought of profits. particularly exorbitant profits, represented in either commodity prices or interest charges. should be forgotten. and the simple necessities of the situation faced. Our first and single duty now i5 to restore the world to normal conditions. If we are able to do our part properly in bring ing that about, the question Of profits will be cared for in the future. This country is facing the greatest oppor- tunity and the greatest obligation :n it's history. and if the sacrifices which have been made in the war are not to be in vain, we must rise to meet them.

 "All up and down the street other men are likewise toiling and slaving, not because they want to or because it makes 'em. Myself, I prefer a lawn that is sort of freehand and natural without having all the spirit and initi- ative crushed out of the grass and weeds.

 T have always regarded the garden hose IS mostly an evidence of our prosperity. large. fat coil of gar den hose lying around attests to ones bank account and all that. I intended to keep mine carefully for years and years-but with the energy display ed by this man Gribbs and his reck- less use of water, which I am obliged to escape his scorn, the drafted thing will be worn out in one season. I tell you, if I pass away prernaturely it will be due to the unheard of physi- cal strain put upon me keeping step with Gribbs."

'"The first thing that attracted our crowds. was the change of custome of the peasants from the day before. Then all were in their working clothes. but today they were arrayed in all their glory. The men had retained their flat hats, but had generally adorned them with flying ribbons Of the national colors-red. white and green. The white divided skirt like trousers were not ornamented on the bottoms of the legs with fringe. or coarse lace, and the dark working coats had been laid aside. In their place were gala ones. always col ored-soft browns. reds and greens -ela borately braided with different colored cords, brighter than those worn Saturday. Their waists were generally of white or light cotton material, sometimes gaily ornamented with coarse colored embroidery. It was the skirts that were the unique things about the costumes. Of the brightest colors, they were accordion plaited, and stood out in the most re- markable manner. HoY they ac- complished this was a mystery to the ladies of our party, until our trusty guide and interpreter had been in terviewed. From him it was learned that no Hungarian peasant woman considers herself properly dressed for a gala occasion unless she has on about twenty petticoats.''

Towards ButtermiIk Cream

CT city made the wise and though provoking remark that the reason why bolshevism, anarchy or socialism found such. a ready response among clergymen, professors and teachers was that these professions were un- der paid.
 There is food for thought here, ane a good bit of truth.
 Those who are ill a very real sense our leaders have been treated shame fully by the rest of the population The average man and woman owes un- told obligations to the teacher, the preacher and the scholar. Yet ir school, college and church, the wage has been far from living standard and it is not to be doubted that thi, condition of affairs has tinged tn whole outlook of the professional peo pie with discontent based upon C sense of injustice.
 How unjust it is that those anon g us who may not be organized, may not care to organize, are left to the mercy of chance.-Bridgep Stan dard- Telegram.
 Congress has not yet decided what wine. If the proposed law is enacted for enforcement of the amendment even the giving of liquor will be for bidden. What will then be the fate of cider and home made wine? We see already the influence of the farmer vote. It has forced Congress to keer at the repeal of the daylight sayins law in spite of presidential veto But the farmer is the fellow who grows apples and thus makes cider and the farmer is busy growing grapes. It is impossible to ride any distance in this state without coming upon vineyards. These are mostly owned by Italians who continue theff national habits, turning the grap pes in to wine. Will everybody who has wine made from his own grapeS be attacked by the government? Cannot a friend be handed a glass. if he happens to be a fellow countrymen and likes 1t? There is a detail that has received lit = tie attention, but the native wine pro- duct of Connecticut must be large Sc is the production of cider.
