It is expected that sim liar action will be taken in the house which will mean that each house of congress will have committees at work upon this matter. It cannot be regarded with as much favor as # it was a joint committee. for each will be working separately and covering the same ground. and it is entirely probable that the reports will differ widely but there is probability that from the two reports a plan of action can be devised that will provide a system that will meet the country's requirements.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The old and eternal contest between utility and beauty is involved in Comp tro1ler Websters determination to dou- ble the space for use by putting a floor across the middle of the Senate Chamber, reducing it's height by a half and thus providing an additional room above. The objection is that the Senate Chamber is artistical1y .beauti- full now and that this will spoil it, be- sides impairing the architectural out new windows through the outside hall. Even then the light in both rooms would probably be bad. The Capitol is getting so crowded that it would prob ably be wise to build an office build ing now and not spoil the fine build ing any more by trying to accommo- date an expansion which will sooner or later make new building neces- sary.-Waterbury American.
 Tn the announcement that Richard c. Deming of New Haven has been ap- pointed to the position of Director of of Education. comes the realization that Connecticut, as usual, is on the job in entering upon a duty the coun- try owes to it's new citizens.
 The question of Americanization came forcibly to the fore during the war.

 Thanks to the energy of patriotic cit izens Connecticut took this matter up and through it's General Assembly a start was made in the direction of practical purpose.

 There is so7- ling humorous. all though the hun is pretty grim, in the calm way in which the blame for the impending coal shortage is placed upon the consumer, the man who will feel the pinch when it comes. C.. E.

 Thus the consumer is the wicked person responsible for a condition that may m can misery for thousands next winter He is deliberately preparing hardships for himself by refraining from buying coal frantically in the middle of the summer. The coal op- era tors are not al all to blame. But what would be said of an electric light ing company that. during the summer when the demand for electricity is least, disrnantIed all it's dynamos ex- cept just those necessary to meet the summer demand and then announced a shortage of electricity and higher prices for the corning winter?

SPECIAL CITY MEETING.

-S----S~ Tomorrow night a special city meeting has been called for the pur

STORIES OF TIE WAR
Checking Epidenics.

The typhus epidemics at Kavabla. Monastir, Uskub, Leskovatz and some other smaller faces in southern Serbia other smaller places in southern Serbia Red Cross reports received at Salon ilxi.
 At all these points small typhus hospitals have been set up under the direction of American physicians and nurses. Disinfecting stations have been established and in them thous- ands of refugees and soldiers are cleansed.
 Serbian officials have thanked the Red Cross for its help in suppressing the epidemics. both of smallpox and typhus.
 The food supply of hundreds of thousands of Serbs who. have returned to their homes in Uskub. Monastir, Pirot and Guevgeli is now believed to have passed the critical stage as the American Food Administration has shipped large quantities of flour to those places and the grain harvests are reported to be fairly good.
 The Red Cross is taking steps to insure the perma anency of it's insti- tutions established in Serbia, particu- larly the orphanages.

ANTI TUBERCULOSIS WORK.

~.-A- Not for two years has there been a campaign in behalf of the Red Cross fund for tuberculosis work through the sale of seals at Christmas time. Recognizing that during the war 4,.there was great need for funds in Ether directions, even though that did Hot relieve the necessity of doing ev- erything possible for the prevention =. and treatment of the white plague, ,the state tuberculosis commission in i.skeeping with the national organiza- =-tfon deemed it wise to abandon the campaigns until peaceful conditions S'severe restored. The solicitation was 2 missed and not few regretted the lack of an opportunity to contribute to this good cause though such a method -sHt there will be general interest in .rt1ae announcement that has been made s1i6E the state commission that with the first of December another campaign will be inaugurated.
 It was a fine endorsement of the work that was given by the people of Connecticut in 1917 when they raised over s47.ooo by the purchase of the seals. that being the largest amount rAIIzed in any of the New England states. It exceeded the combined sales sf. Massachusetts and Vermont and Hbre than the total returns from New Ezmpshire. Maine and Rhode Island. Ehat shows what Connecticut thinks oE the work that is being done to check tuberculosis and it is a pretty good reason for believing that in view thereof and the fact that there has been no call in the past two years that the people will enter enthusias- ticauy into the effort this year to raise s1oO. 900 which means only about eight cents per capita
 The cause cannot fail to make it's appeal and there has always been an eagerness to contribute such help to suffering humanity whenever and wherever needed.

 The dark hued gentlemen from Abys- sinia have been cordially greeted here though some of the~stunts they have performed have set their diplomatic hosts tiptoe-for instance when they went to the great zoo the duke of Abyssinia seemed to recognize as a friend the enormous boa constructor which is the king of snakes in the zoo. The duke insisted that the keeper open the door of the cage, whereupon he showed to be a snake charmer, for the great reptile permitted him to pat its head and stroke it, while the duke upcoiled as many yards of the suuirrn- ing monster as he could easily lift Onlookers say the snake evinced pleasure by wagging it's forked tongue much as a dog wags it's tail, while it's big scaly head was being stroked high commission. But the onlookers and keeper were-not happy till the huge reptile was once more behind the bars of his cage.

THE MASK DROPS

After crowding in pages of editorials by Japs
columns of eulogies of Japs, not to mention whole
sections Of advertisements paid for by Japs. the
P.-I Jap edition, issued today. just couldn't find
room for the most wonderful editorial
penned by Jap. The editorial was printed
short time ago in the New World, Japanese
paper Of San Francisco. The Star reprints it
today urging thnt it be read and considered in
connection with the P.-I Jap euogies. 1t follows:
we should advance and not recede. To stop is
to retreat Whether in war or business this holds
true. While we push forward boldly the enemy
has no chance to form plans. We have saying
that the gods never curse "A successful man.
determined spirit will crush a rock, we also say
These maxims are suitable for the present situ-
alton.
I'VE who are here in America where so many
anti-Japanese parties exist must have this sort
Of determination What can Phelan do? What
can lnman do? Both are but ordinary men, Their
ability is nothing unusual Their influence is only
that Of crowd.
'When we Of the Yamoto race rise with
mighty resolve. their opposition will be futile as
an attempt TO sweep the with a broom.
1T is only because there is so much fear and
anxiety on the part of us Japanese that they think
they can undertake such big things.
Even II photograph marriages should be pro-
hibited. we cannot be stopped from leaving our
descendants on this American continent. Even if
not single Japanese woman comes. it is not pos
sble TO prevent the seed Of our great Yamoto race
from being sown on the American continent by
marriages with Americans, with French, with In
dians and with negroes; especially since there are
already 100000 Japanese here and 5000 children
born annually.
'Phelan and Inman cannot stop this great force
What stupidity What ignorance of a mighty
force.
Again let us consider the land law Supposing
that the ideas of Phelan and lnman carried
out, and we Japanese prohibited from owning
or cultvating land We could find some way to
continue farming and make good living as pro-
ducers. II we cannot conveniently do so in Cali
fornia We shall 20 to other states and devise some
plan. Even the laws of California not forever
Interchangeable.
"The day will come when the real strength of
the Japanese will make clean sweep Of all laws.
Even the kaisers empire destroyed when
its time came. What Phelan and Inman
whose influence is less than drop in the great
ocean Of world tendency, do to stop the forward
movement of our Yamoto race?
I've will say: Let there be hundred or a
thousand ant-Japanese movements; let laws he
made; let laws be amended Foolish agitators will
have their day; wise will time raise
their voices. All these are temporary, but our
great racial activities eternal. All we have to
do is TO stand firm on the single point of justice
unite our strength and move forward energeticaly
in various quarters of the business world"
