there is every reason for the officials to believe that they might lose their power Unfortunately that does not alter the characters of the military caste who acted as they did towards women and children and sufferers upon the open sea.
 They were of German blood, it is true. though it is impossible for us to comprehend that a people wonId own them as some of their own. The fact that their lives arc being protect cd with such zeal hy the common people indicates that there is great deal of the old spirit, the spirit which caused the war. and caused the world to turn against the Germans existing in that cotantty to this date. We had congratulated ourselves hat Germany was conquered. that she was in such a frame of mind that she realized the extent of the atrocities. commit ted by certain individuals in her name. Actually she was conQuercd, but the military spirit has not been broken. an acknowledeeme of guilt has not been made. Who won the war"
 The trial in the German court might bring results but we doubt it. A country which was so anxious ~ protect it's own as to be ready to riot and strike would not approach a pro- ceedinG in it's own courts in the proper frame of mind for true justice. Should we he satisfied that the Ger mans were fully as anSercd at the military caste we. and would punish representatives of it as fully as we, there could be no better place for the trial than in Germany. It seems to be euuitab ble that the cIim- ipals should be executed hy their own people for the tribulations that they brought on the whole world. There is peculiar, but pleasing, flavor to that justice.

OUT OF DOORS.

The weather has taken q turn for the better as far our health con- ditions go. though the head of the family who is paying for coal may not feel that the colder temperature is d thing to cheer about. However, the January thaw is usually d danger point in our season of colds. pneumo- nia and, these days, induenza. and more may be saved in doctor bills than would be spent in coal The pent up germs Of several months are released in the sIushy streets and wards of the city. there is fine chance of wet feet and chiIls to affect the system. making it friendly re- teptacle for the disease breeders. The colder weather has frozen up the slush again, imprsoning the germs and making for better health condi tions. May it stay cool.
 While it is cool and braoing outside, those who seek health may do well to take their exercise in the open air at any one of the numerous outdoor sports that offer at this time Of the year. Providing that we are bundled up warmly and du not over-cxert our selves to the point of great fatigue, there can be no moro healthy prac- tice than the habit of getting into the open air for d time each evening. Skating, sliding. skiing and walking all offer their attractions. according to our degree of agility and our dc sircs for exercise.
 Taking cosnizance of the demand for safe place to slide among the youth of the city and among a certain element of the older folk. Ralph Wainwright. Superintendent of Parks. yesterday broke a sliding track down the west slope of Walnut Hill pa rll, from the hospital road to d point cast of the buck baseball diamond in the basin. II is primarily intended for toboggans but may he used, in fact was generally used. for Sleds and skis. giving a wide range of entertainment to those fond of outdoor work. The Superintendent admits that the slide is but a mak eshift arrangement. aS he has no funds for the building of a chute but it offers a chance to get up considerable speed on fairly long Slope, and is. furthermore, absolutely safe for any slider, as~therc is little opportunity to get off the track and hit a astree or rock. The sides have been banked for the entire distance.
 Ii is entirely possible that the slide of this year, built in about two hours, may deNelop into the establishment of d real tobogean course for the people of New Britain to he placed upon the park. We have long neglected winter sports hcrea bouts. but the present slide may draw attention tn the pleasures of them.
 The lack of snow during some of our winters. has. of course. been re- Sponsible for tho lack of enthusiasm There is plenty nf it this year and the youngsters arc having the time of their lives. Safe places to slide arc too few and too remote. The building or the one on the park will doubt less prove popular with the younger element at least. But the older folks are using il. There were few there last evening. There will be more as the slide becomes familiar.
