THE ECONOMICS, OF JESUS

ID ROF. CAFLES Foster Kent of Yale, delivered inter esing talk on Jesus Community Program" to the those who heard him. His pictures of the economies of Jesus too broad and vague be especially helpful in these days of we'll thought out specific programs.
 The of the carly church. which being to Jesus doubtless reflected the ideals his disciples taught of the communistc type That is the congregations had strong tendency to hold their property and it in the way The early church in effect pure dem organization democratic in its tendencies that the church has scarcely anywhere become arsocrahc in form
 The communism of the early church was not so much declaration against the private ownership of property disposition of of property to fund what they had into a common
 of the early church did therefore bear very close relation to the standard socialist economics of to- day.
 The economists time could have had very little foundation upon which to theories modern socialism, existed Land the chief property and lent itself more less to ownership in The Essenes Jewish sect practiced communism in Iand.
 Tolstoy advocated the common use of property after strictly Christian fashion. great part of the Russian revo ton is founded upon the comnunstc doctrines Tosoy ciated

Prof. Kent Heard In Great Address
 A United Forum

A large audience at the United Church last night heard Prof. Foster Kent of Yale University speak of Jesus Community Program" The doctor is well versed in Biblical sub jects and his address proved very in teresting. He told his audience that society is in one of the greatest transi- t!onal periods in history. Even the clergy are awakening,' he said.
 ''The greatest tra gedy of life is the want of a large cause in which the individual can throw himself and for get his trivial interests" declared Prof. Kent. Kent. We never need to worry about the man who is attached to any subject Ne must look to the one who isn't. attached. This is the reckless class that fling themselves into any danger. And here the peas ant of Galilee takes hold of the de- tached beings 1and attempts to align them into a brotherhood and to bring out their qualities of citizenship.
 The greatest question before us is the practicability of the Community program and other social progra ms which have been tried in past de- cades. Any social program that tries to save society by external organiza- ton will always be a failure. We must work with the individual and train him in social citizenship if we would form 3 stable society under any conceivable style of government"

FRED" TREACHERY AT RIGA CALLED
 WORLD WARNING

An interesting description of the fall of Riga is given in the German weekly. Die GIocke" C'The BerD, by Herr August Winnig, president of the German Builders Union and special commissioner to the Baltic provinces. Although, he says, it seems hardly worth while. at the end of an epoch which has witnessed so many horrors, to say anything particular about the capture of a single town, the fall of Riga was more than mere ly a bloody event.
 It was a warning signal. and the flames which iIlumined it may shed a healthy light" he said.
 From the middle of November the pressure of the soviet troops on thu German guards at the east frontier of the Baltic provinces began to increase in strength. Since. in addition, the re- moval of the CfermOn Sth Army was already in progress and the old, tired Landsturm soldiers were pressing homeward, a serious resistance was neither possible nor advisable. Our troops retired slowly. and as they evacuated their positions these were occupied by parties of the soviet army. We lost thereby much war material.
 "GraduaIly the advance of the so- viet troops attained a speed which appeared dangerous for our retire. ment. In the direction of Pieskau the Russians pressed forward through Werro toward Walk. All the detach- ments of the Sth Army to the north of this place say their retreat threaten ed In these circumstances the sol diers' councils began to negotiate with the soviet troops. At their desire I took over the negotiations and sent two commissions to the points es- pecially threatened.
 An agreement was reached where by the soviet troops were not to con- tinue their attacks. but were to follow Cur retiring parties in such a way as to leave a neutral zone of ten kilo- metres between them. The Russian leaders were never tired of declaring their IoyaIty-the Germans must not believe that they had hostile inten- tions: our material left behind the Russians would send after us in their own transport; the sick and wounded would be cared for and sent home when they recovered; the German au- thorities in Riga need not fear-thev would be able to complete the wind ing up of their affairs and would be under Russian protection.
 The Germans breathed freely again as the result of these promises. But. alas. they were soon to discover their error.

THE PEOPLES' SAY
NOT KINGS PLANT.

Editor The Times:
 Str---I note with great pleasure among other articles in your interest ing evening p&per, that the City Health Department has acquired the John T. King Garbage Plant. Also note that the inventory of the sale failed to include the largest asset of this wonderful modern sanitary plan, which is, and always has been too evi- dent to overlook, namely, the stench. You may say that this is not good English. But it cannot be called otherwise, as no one in their widest agination could call it Odor or smell. It is just plain stench.
 The Health Department will tell you that it can't be helped. and also that it is not dangerous to health.
 Between this stench and the one from Yellow Mill mud flats, East Bridgeport is a wonderful place for anyone who has had a gas experience in the trenches.
 There isn't another town, city or hamlet in the country that would UrI- crate either over a. week at the most. They couldn't but we can. When it comes to smells and odors we are im- mune.
 Yours strongly for smells.

Herr WiRnig concludes as fol- lows:
 T have only revealed facts; the4r application is obvious. The Bolshevists are no beIHgerent power in the sense of international law. Their contem pt for all the usages and rules of inter national law and their manner of waging war banish them from the circle which civilization itself still maintains in war. BOlshevism in practice is no political system; it is politically organized crime. To ward it off is just as obvious duty of self preservation as protection against robbers, incendiaries and mrrderers. It has ruined Russia, it is now en- gagged in making the Baltic provinces Q misera ble waste, and it would ruin Germany if she fell into its hands. We have much to do in our country, but the warding off of Bolshevism is the most urgent and greatest duty.

mttted themselves only too deeply with the soviet people.
 ''The result was that at especially important points-for example, the essential railway junction. Walk they found themselves surrounded one morning, and had to save themselves by the hastiest retreat losing not only weapons, but provisions and raw ma teriaL In some cases the effrcnterv of the Bolsh eVists reached the pitch of demanding that We should lay down cur arms. Not in all cases did ouy soldiers reject this demand; where they did so and it came to fight the Bolshevists got bloody heads.
 For the most part the condition of our soldiers did not admit of a serious resistance. The deIirfum Of defeat drove out all other ideas than those of home and safety The at tempt to form a rearguard-an iron division-failed, so that there was hardly a check in the advance of the soviet troops.
 Their strength was estimated at about 5000 men. They were well equipped and strictly disciplined. The system of soldiers cOunc1I had ceased tl government commissaries accompan- jed the troops, armed with discre- tionary powers. Against this force were opposed at no time more than one thousand men with eight guns"
 After describing the critical situa-
 ton produced by the detection of two Lettish companies of Baltic Iandwehr, Herr Winnig continues:
 The English had been lying for about a week with three ships in the harbor. They had found their way to us and were informed as to the seriousness of the situation. They re- Quired from us that not only Riga, but a wide circle around must in all circumstances be defended. We de- clared that it was impossible. The conditions of the armistice had com pletely demOralized the weary sol diers. and nothing more could be ex- pected from them
 The English therefore reduced the 1nutinous Let's by bombardIng their barracks. German interests in Riga, both in life and property, could be saved if q fortnight, or even in ten days. could be gained.
 Accordingly I sent an officer and two mem bers Of the central soldiers council of the Eighth Army. with an interpreter, to the front. They were instructed to open negotiations with the general of the BoIshevist army for an armistice till January 10. The mission never returned. I followed after, but soon lost the trail. On January l received a telegram to say that three of the party had been shot; two survivors escaped, and we still await their report. On New Years Day our troops abandoned their last defensive positions in the town. But the Bolshevists. fearing a plot, did not enter the town until January 8. The sack of the town, however, began the day before, and when the last German troops left the plundering was Tn full swing. Since then only vague reports of atrocities have reached our ears"

IT IS THE CAT.
Another Strong Appeal for Pussy.


 For many years I have been a reader of your paper, but seldom if ever have I asked for any space in your columns. l am now tempted 10 ask a little indulgence. The cat business has stirred me. All my life l have lived with the cat. I remem- Der the big Maltese in chiIdhood'g home. In later years l have always hao one or more around by hous... Not all cats were good cats. Ii was easy to get rid of the bad ones. So far as l remembered, game birds and song birds never suffered much he cause or my cats. 1 do not believe the Dill to tax cats was introduced out or pity for the game bird or love TOT the song bird. Possibly the au- thor of the bill could not thinl, of anything else. The good cats one pus1ness is to keep the house and barn Tree from rates and mice. For th-s business the cat has no canal some years ago l lived in a parson- age with barn on the premises. ThA haFh had a basement with wall some what dila pidated. The rats had nest ed there until they were aItogether 100 thick and large for comfort tried every imaginable wax to get rid of them. Rat biscuit was dessar. Hotash in their run-ways made good roads. Fire, hot enough to sinpa every hair on them, made a. delicious smell Bells around their necke Angl!ng day and night, made music lH the ears of all their neighbors Finally the gun was used to gc eHect. A pair of colts. the - having been gnawed until they b1ec were taken out of their stalls a 1i+t1a meal put down in punches. and inc gun went off: thirteen at two sbots the result; buried without tears. Ru. the rats were not all there It seemed as If tens came where one had been killed The next move was to get several good cats. The rats soon be- gan to disappear and did not return.
 Now. can it be that Connecticut has. Legislature with a majority of heads so befuddled, and hearts so hardened as to tax a man for keep ing a cat--the child's pet the wo- mans company. and the protector of good things in both house and barn, What will be left for the next Legisla ture to do? Perhaps to tax the womans canary, and the farmers old rooster, because the one sings and the other crows too early.
