HOUSE AND KNOX AGREED.

Colonel Edward M. House in a
cablegram blames the delay at Paris
for the serious conditions which
overshadow Europe today and may
plunge the continent in "a general
war again When House puts the
blame on the interminable Partisan
performance he can not avoid plac-
ing il at the door of the White House
and upon the president. For Wilson
was responsible for that delay. House
says in his cable:
"A suggestion was made in Paris
just after the arrnistice to proceed at
once in the making OF a preliminary
treaty of peace with Germany alone,
based upon broad general lines and
concerning four subjects army,
navy. PREPARATIONS and delineation of
boundaries. The boundaries need not
have been exact, but should have
been so drawn as to give Germany
the assurance that her loss of terri
tory would not be greater than indi-
Gated Such a treaty could have
been made by Christmas Of 1918 and
would have been not only the US
ual but the obvious thing to do.
There was at that time facing Ger
many the entire allied army, militant
and flushed with victory. and there
would have been no delay or exasion
or terms
Their is not much doubt that the
suggestion came from or was sup
ported by Colonel House. 1t was the
suggestion and desire of the whole
country outside of the Wilsonian Of
ficeholders and partisans who gave
been acted upon as it should have
been and would have been had not
Mr.. Wilson blocked it as self assumed
autocrat OF power which held the
world food supply as lever to en-
force personal ascendency the proba-
bilities are that Europe would be
reasonably quiet and generally occu-
pied at present with the pursuits OF
peace instead Of preparations for
another bloody war and in which
it expects the participation in men
and money of the United States.
The republican senators who have
been condemned as traitors and OF
whom the president expressed his
notable desire to see them hanged
like Hannah held views very close
to those expressed by Colonel House.
Senator Knox expressed those views
several times in the senate and re-
ceived the obloquy heaped upon him
by the administration supporters.
House was on the inside He was at
Paris and he knows. And House
places the blame where the. republic
can senators placed it. And there
It belongs and must rest A demo-
crat administration must carry it.
1t is the same administration which
received enthusiastic and tumultuous
Endorsement by the national democrat
convention. The party accepted the
load and must carry it. 1t can not
indorse in convention the Wilson
administration, his league of nations,

a picture of man with the hide off

sTURGEs CAN'T MOVE
 AGAINST PONzI DEPOSITS

State Bank Commissioner Everett J. Sturgest said Saturday he had no au- thority to move against a Ponzi deposit in any bank in Connecticut and that the only way, in his opinion for the in vestor in Ponzi notes to protect himself is to have an inunction issued restrain ing the bank in which a Ponzi deposit is being held from allowing it to be withdrawn. The commissi0er said no in nation from any bank CT individuals in the state had come to him relative to the Ponzi affair but that he was not surprised that individuals had invested in Ponzi notes were inquiring privately how thew could get legal protection ill this state if Ponzi funds are on de- posit in Connecticut banks. It was said in Boston Friday that Ponzi has de- posits in Connecticut and that an at- tempt would be mare to make them available in reimbursng note holders.
 Commissioner Sturges said his power to invoke the restraining order which prevents a bank from releasing it's funds lean be exercised only when the solvency 0 fthe bank. is questioned and the re-. straining order affects all deposits equal ly.

CLOSE WATCH FOR
sAccHARINE IN SODA

SACCHARINE IN SODA
 A close watch is being kept on the use of saccharine for sweetening soda water and bottled goods, which is in violation of the state law. At the office of the state dairy and food department, which has the enforcement of this law in hand, it was said Saturday that since violators of the law were discovered a short time ago the departments eye is kept peeled to bring them to account if htey are caught again. Recently Thomas P. Holt, state dairy and food commissioner, gave hearing to about 40 soft drink manu- lecturers in Bridgeport, Waterbury and Hartford. all of whom were said to be using saccharine for sweetening puF- poses, and warning them that the prac- tice must cease at once and that in sub sequent cases of the discovery of viola tions of the law rigid prosecution would follow.
 Saccharine is cheaper than sugar. Ii costs s3.50 pound but it is 500 times as strong as sugar. Disobedience of the law makes it hard for bottlers who use su- gar, because they cannot compete witf saccharine users. The latter can sell bot tied goods for 65 to 90 cents a case where it's cost would be SIPS to $1.40 with req sugar used.
 Sacchari1e is pronounced a drug, not ; I food, and has been declared harmful tC l health, which is alleged to have led tt I the enactment of the state law agains | its use.
