Saturday by Upshaw of Georgia at
which tine Madden made his first
statement relative TO Confederate
soldiers.
Mr. Steadman denid that any such
infamous name should be given the
Confederate soldier. especially men
of the type OF Lee and Jackson. He
made a splendid speech in reply TO
MaddeG's attack.
When Steadman concluded Mad

the Most bitter WORDS ever heard IN
the house denounced Lee, Jackson,
and the Confederate soldiers in gen.

OF Democratic members from their
seats and Representative Rumjue of

speaker declared that members must
remain in their seats. Instantly when
Madden had again repeated his word,

no one for its use, there was mad
rush from the Democratic side and at
least dozen members shouted "lie,

CONDITIONS IN ENGLAND.

There is something that impresses especially in the talk of a man who was formerly known locally. and who describes things we who have re- mained here. have not seen. Although absent from this community for long time. J. Henry Sandwell, pastor of the New Britain First church 23 years ago. speaks informally to New Britainites as one who knows them.
 The interview with him yesterday discloses, not horrors of war nor sim liar terrible conditions which are bringing aid from all parts of this and other countries, but a plain mes sage to us that we should not feel we are in such sore straits as we some times imagine ourselves to be.
 England is far worse off than ara we. he asserts. Those with money can get food and pplenty of it; there is no rationing except in sugar, which is very scarce. But he tells in the same way one here may speak to an- other. of the serious conditions on the other side.
 Coming from such a source and told in the words of every day. the report of this former New Britainite, now resident of England. should help us 10 hold up our heads in the un- questioned anxiety of the time. and fight all the harder to make the times better.
 An interesting fact developed in his statement that his son. born here, car ries with him constantly his birth cer- tificate. showing that he is citizen of the United States, and that despite his long residence away from the land of the Stars and Stripes. he is very proud of the document.

CITY OFFICIALS OUTING.

It is pleasing to note that the city officials had an outing. It was cer- tainly good for their health. and health Is an interesting matter these days-especially among city officials. Perhaps the health affairs of New Britain will bo arranged for. The authorities should he aware of how important it Is after such u day as yesterday.
 It is also pleasing to note that mention was made of the good work and coordination of the off, cials. Evidently tho administration has gone on the D 'incipal that changes should be made until such persons were obtained who would co-ordinate-but n the co-ordina- ton with each otherr or is it co-or- dination with tho master-mInd. President wilson is reported to have worked some such plan.
 One is inclined to wonder if the sands at Momaguin wero taken into the confidence of the administration. and whether the reasons Tor nlary

hostilities would cease before a blow had been struck.
 Warsaw may be captured. But the hrm stand of Premier Lloyd George. the prepared naval forces of England and the "tattered" condition of the Red army will stop the Polish-Russian war from becoming q great European war.
 rt Is said that Warsaw has been the objective of the Reds ever sinco the campaign began: that the city has been promised to them by their lead CTS for loot.
 This is the most likely report that has yet come, and 1t Is we'll under stood how such n promise would thrill the heart of the Red. Soviet Russia. at first. replied almost disdainfully to England: her later messages have as- sumed more conservative phase, and now. the President of the Moscow Soviet Is said to have sent a messa ge to his government. after a conference at tho residence Of MT. Lloyd George. urging that the original British pro- posal for an armistice with the Poles be accepted immediately.
 It Is understood that word will be sent from the Soviets that the Russian military operations must continue until the Polish Parlimentaries return to the Russian lines with what the Russian Soviet regards as proper cre- dentials to conclude peace as we'll as mako an armistice.
 It would seem that this is a mere ruse to permit of no delay in the Soviet advance until Warsaw is cap- tured.
 Another bit of souet propaganda is the alleged promise that it will grant Poland better boundaries than did the Entente. The Soviet government seems to have taken a leaf from out of the German book and should be watched as the Germans should have been watched. The crisis is great. but there is no comparing of it to the crisis of 1914.
 And mental preparedness is the reason.

things were disclosed. Ono longs to rsten to the words of those sands were such the case. Why removals from office of men who seemed to be filling the bill satisfactorily? Was mind being sought whtcH would run in the same channel as that Of some of the other officials? And is the mind proving to run true to form?
 It is sincerely to he hoped that the Outing of the City officials reused great enthusiasm for harmony, and frarkress; that this little expedition into nature aided the simple. natural raalities of the man. and that New Britain people will receive the bene- fit, pas. on by bose 'n power

THE PLEDGE.

When love is bright and whole again, I'll sing like the bees weather, I'll set my colors up again
 Like the cock -pheasants feather, I'll find a note to make me one With lyric birds that sing the sun. I'll fill my songs with palmer's buds And sprigs of thorn for Whitsunday, And they shall dance willow rods And shine with garlands of the may, I'll be at theme that takes the a spring From bushes where the blackbirds / sing
 I)ll walk among my sheep again 1 And turn my steps to numbers, When love is bright and whole again and fear has gone to slumbers With wings again and flowers and
 stars
 To be my colored calendars.
