EXCLUDING UNDEsIRAsLEs.

When figures were being quoted some time ago relative to the number of aliens that. were going back to their atiye countries, carrying various tidy sums as tho result of their industrial activity in this country. it was pointed out that many of these were going home to look up relatives see what the effect of the war was and get a erpsr on the situatio now existing there with q view 70 improved op- portunities. The nun.ber was largs that went as well as were the funds that they carried. bI.t after looking over conditions there. there are now millions of these who are anxious to get back to this country. Apparently Europe hoIis no attrs ions to them. They want to return where they are better taken care Of.
 If their going home had a certain eff feet upon industrial prod'scticn ir, this country it can be appreciated that their return would help to pro- idle the counterbalarcc But with these people apply ing for passports U return here they arc coming up against the law established in that expect until peace is declared. It may not be as easy to get back here as it was to leave and because of the income tax not few experienced de- issy in getting away.
 Demands have beer consistently mace for tne establishment of new immigration laws. and just recently an appeal was made to continue the pass : port law for 2. year following the de- clara ton of peace. This is meant as e protective measure. Many of those who left may have little trouble get ting back but some of the others may rot return as easily.

 Regardless of the orders given the army remained and as was expected 1T continued to be a disturbing in nuerce in western Russia They nut forth the claim that they had acquired interests there intended to make their homes there and the German govern ment was unable to do anything with those who were representative of Ger man nobility It was even maintained that this force was not organized and Therefore it was impossible to move it It became necessary to threaten to blockade German ports again in order to bring the needed pressure to bear but that only seems to have inspired the Germans to enact the coup which they had apparently been planning for a jpng time
 This resulted fn the capturs of the port of Riga from the Let.A wh.o n made it evident that the force was or E4rfzed and that the leaders in that moveDent were prepared to take steps <hzt would ultimately result in the Rpexation of that part of Russia to sNany and to establish an agree with bolshevik Russia

STORIES OF THE WAR
so,ooo Yet to Be Discharged.

The office of the assistant to the secretary of war, service and inform ' ton branch, in a statement made public today calls attention to the fact that there are over 90,000 officers and men still in the army to be discharg- ed between this date and October 31. 1919. who will have to be absorbed in civil life. The statement is as fol- lows:
 "The Operations Division of the General Staff has furnished statistics which show that the total number of men in the army on September 29,
 1919, was s324s5. The maximum es-
 innate of the strength of the army on
 October 31. 1919, is given as 252.-
 90s. leaving 79.5S9 men to be dischars-
 ed by that date.
 "On September 1s. ls1a. it is shown
 that there were S1.525 commissioned
 officers in active service 9,14S Of
 whom are regulars and 22,379 tempor- ary. Inasmuch as recent legislation enacted by congress stipulates that the
 total commissioned strength of the army shall at no time during the fis-
 cal year 1920 exceed 1a,000 it is ob- viously necessary that 13,525 of these emergency officers be returned to civ il life by October 31. 1919.
 This means that it will he neces- sary for over 90 900 individuals to find employment in civil life When Colonel Arthur Woods formerly as, sistant to the secretary of war and in charge of soldier employment. left the war department he stated that careful study of reports and available statistics showed that about 80 per cent of the men relea sed from ser vice were taken back in their old jobs or better ones by their former em- ployers. This being true it is antici- rated that this office will have anoth- CT 20 900 men added to those now on it's lists as needing employment. Among these men, especially the officers, will be found executives and technically trades Because of their previous training and long experience gained in the army these soldiers are among the best to be discharged
 -.'The attention of the public is in -1 Vited not because the soldier is being forgotten when the uniform is disap bearing from the public eye. but be- cause the impression must not go out that every discharged service man has a satisfa ctory job. These men who are now being relea sed have been held for the convenience of the government and many have been working day and night in order that their more fort unate comrades might be discharged and returned to civil pursuits.
 s"They are coming home now one by one unheralded. and it is hoped that the people at home will remem Der that these men have had unusual ly long service and are now coming hack to again take up their livelihood where they left off. Experience in the past has shown that employers and in fact everyone. has been more than willing to extend helping hand to all men who have worn the uniform Of the army or navy"

eEoRelA's PUBLIC STATEMENT.

It was not so long ago. within a year or two. that the people of Geor-
 gia, representing to be the better class, insisted that they did not approve the | many cases of lynching in that state. They indicated that it was due to a lot of irresponsibies and they recoE nized the importance of bringing pub lie sentiment to bear thereon for the sake of restoring the good name of the state
 From all indications. however. very little success has attended their eff forts for Georgia is ,.ill engaged in tke same deplofable cases of murder
 and is manifesting an utter regard
 for law and order. Its disgraceful rep
 utation is being maintained legaI d1ess
 of the attitude of the better class. The
 ia ct of the matter seems to be that
 though a certain nun1I-er a1e opposed
 to the lawlessnesr in il cir state they
 have not brought themselves to
 the point Of openly opposing fl and
 most certainly have not exercised any
 influence upon those who ale reSpon >
 sible for such acts.
 How unwilling they gre tc ubide by
 any law other than tha- of the mob is show by the recent case where 3 col ored man had been accused of shooting a white man vi o was not se-
 -Iously hurt. He was eaugh- and tried and sentenced to ten years imprison- ment, which seems to kc a substantial sentence in view of 1he punishment imposed elsewhere for similar cases. But because he was black they be- iieved that he should have been sem fenced te deatl. and because he wasn', the jail was forced. the prisoner se- cured and his life quickly taken. No cne was punished for it because the ( ooronef's jury couldn't establish the identity of the guilty parties. Only s day or two before there was a triple lynehing for no greater reason, these only adding to a long list of deplera ble cases of similar character. It is ntirey possible hat the better class in Georgia does not approve of these conditions but they are doing precious little to check them.

What the citizens want is men that are net afraid to do their duty and not those hand shakers and snap seekers.

MT. Editor: If you can find space in your paper. l would like to com mend the writer of the letter who signed himself Wake Up" in your issue Of last Saturday.
 In this letter, the writer dwelt upon the proper beating administered the democrats in the last town election, and of the better beating that is due them a little later.
 Our common council has evidently inherited some Of the dilatory tactics that some of their better known col leagues in Washington have been af- flicted with, particularly the past few years.
 The democrats might as well give up the idea of ever having ticket in the results even disgrace them furth- their defeat will be overwhelming, and the results even desgrace them furth- CT.
 The handling of that police sergeant question. has made them really and truly comedians. All they lack is the grease, paint and pantaloons.

The Democratic Spectacle.

MT. Editor: A silly letter appeared in this nonrinSs issue of The Bulletin, written by one signing himself Fair Play" endeavoring to justify the rid iculous position some members of the democratic council have got them about who was back of the movement which created the office of police ser geant. Nobody cares how it was done, the matter of fact is that it exists and the only interest we democrats have is that the office be filled before it is left to the republican members to fill it. That is but one of the fool ish positions they got themselves in- to. Thames street has been tied up trance to the city. Some good com mon sense exercised at the right time would have cut out this public incon- Venience- It is reported on the street that one member of the common council has said that he will resign before he will vote for anybody ex- cept his selection for sergeant. Let quicker the better and let some others go with him. They are no good to the democratic party or the citizens of Norwich. It is too bad we do net have a recall so some Of these mem bers could be kicked out of the office. They are utterly unfit to conduct city affairs and unfit to represent the and their plain duty to attend to it.
 When a few men think they are big ger than the party it is time they were taught a lesson and l am but one of the thousand that believes that they have made jokes of themselves and the quicker they come to their senSeS eae oSetei- >>- ~~-.
