FRANCE INCLUDED

As a sidelight to the conference i, is to be remembered that the four-na- ton treaty was generally accredited to Balfour as the originator. Wonder came, therefore, that it was presented by Senator Lodge.
 Interesting and satisfying is the rumor that the four party treaty is the outgrowth of a three-party agree ment, suggested by England and Japan to the United States. But this country has little desire to enter such an agreement. Where there now exists the Anglo-Japanese alliance, which has been deprecated by this country the entrance of the United States into a three-party agreement would seem to be little more than a joining of the two-party alliance between Japan and England,
 The inference may be justified therefore that the four-party treaty so generally approved, was the result of this country's determined wish to have France a member. More than sentimental reasons governed this action but with our feeling toward France the people of this country will be more pleased that she is included than were she to be disregarded, to say nothing of the advantage to ac- crue to us as a member of new treaty, suggested by us, and not as country which entered, or seemed to enter an already existing alliance which we had stamped with our dis approval.

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS

Not wreath is hung in the win dow in the Christmas season without bringing some cheer to someone. Not an one is useless. They display the spirit of the moment; the speak Of the appreciation of the cry "Peace on Earth. Good Will Toward Man"
 The ideal wreath is the one picked by the hands of members of the fami- lv in the windows of whose home 1t Is to be hung Long years ago men and women and children had time and the desire to make such wreaths or to decorate the home with greens and berries gathered in happy anticipation of the great day.
 The general practice has passed. To- day as a rule, the decorations are purchased. There are things to com- mend this habit although with 1t Domes a fading of tradition and senti- ment. Men have established businesses which provide wreaths and other decorations already prepared for use. It is a perfectly good and fair work, and many people are able, through those dealers or agents to have the decorations in their homes which otherwise might be lacking.
 And in consideration of this matter, of great sentimental and religious importance, one hesitates to do the wise but unsentimental thing in calling attention to the law which regulates the cutting or taking of greens and other means of decorations without the written permission of the owner of the land from which they are taken Details of the law were published in The Herald of Saturday last. They should be read.
 The forests must be protected-but protected and nourished, also, should be the spirit of Christmas which in- spires the decorating of the home.

POSTAL EMPLOYES
 GET GREETINGS
Postmaster General Hays Glad He is Working in Service For
 Mankind.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Christmas greetings have been extended to the men and women in the post office de- partment and to all postal co-Work- ers' by Postmaster General Hays in the following message:
 Christmas of 1921 brings to me, and l am sure it brings to everyone of our 326.000 CO., workers q new birth of joy born of the certain realization that we are working with each other in a great service to mankind.
 'The president of the United States in his great inaugural address ex- pressed the sentiment which I would make the platform of the post office department. He said:
 Service is the supreme commit ment of life. l would rejoice to pro- claim the era of the golden rule and crown it with the autocracy of serv- ice. When the history is written a century hence no more magnificent statement will be recorded.
 "1o every postal co-worker l send Christmas greetings, and l earnestly hope that their happiness may be a great as is my gratitude for their splendid discharge of duty"

II is no unworthy petty sentiment which prompts the urgent request that you buy your Christmas Seals, to help in the fight against tubercu- losls, right here in New Britain
 The only way to stamp out the white plague is that the battle against 1t be taken up all over the country, each part of the country doing it's share.

SALVATION ARMY DRIVE.

The Salvation Army came into it's own in the matter of recognition while the war was in progress and has retained ever since the general respect and honor it won by its work at that awful time.
 The Salvation Arny's great work did not begin with the outbreak of the war, however, nor did it end with its close. It had been working, striving, aiding, understanding, long before, as it will be working and striving and succeeding long after the war has become ancient history.
 None except those who have come into personal contact with the work the Army has done, is doing and will continue to do, may realize the in tensely human aspect with which this body of men and women plead the cause of Right--call it by whatever name you will. Before the war many men and women on the brink of des- pair were cheered and made strong and hopeful through it's work. At that time it was rare that the so- called better element" of society took active part in aiding it, The Army even was denounced by some. The breaking out of the war gave the great opportunity. None grieved more than did the men and women who had taken mp this work that such disaster had come upon the world. The disaster had come; the Salvation Army saw clearly where it could be of wonderful service; it served With what sympathy and feeling and love of humanity it served only the service man or the eX-serviCe man knows, They, the soldiers, joined the vast throng which speaks of the Army with deep gratitude and thanks; they joined with those who, in times of peace, had been saved from sclf-dc- struction physically as well as spirit ualy by this organization which makes no distinctions of class, race, creed or sex.
 Today the Salvation Army is prais- ed, it's work acknowledged by all classes" of society to be great.
 The Army needs $5,00O, to be raised here. to carry on it's work here.
 Some Of the most influential and representative of New Britain citizens are back of the dive which starts the day after tomorrow, December Is, and which will end Christmas eve, Decem- Der 24. The response should be and undoubtedly will be generous.
 And it should be remembered that in aiding this cause, one is helping d sympathetic, strong hand which reaches down into dark places where other clean hands do not appear, and which draw up into the light human

STATE BOARD IS
 ANXIOUS TO AID
Officials of All Towns Asked to Send Names of Blind People So Help
 May Be Given

Hartford, Dec. 13.--The state board of education of the blind announced today that it is sending to the se- lectmen of every town in the state
 asking them to send in the names of all those who are blind or nearly so. The state board desires this informa- tion that it may help the blind in the | best manner possible.
 Thee scope of the board has been enlarged, so that it now is able to do something to bring comfort and we'll | being to a larger number of children and adults than heretofore. The chil- | dren arc sent to a special school and,
 as they approach adult life, are
 taught a trade and later assisted to secure employment The same applies | to adults. Also, for adults well along | in years who cannot leave their homes, the board has home teachers who are themselves blind, and who will be sent to the home to teach them to read with their hands or to do remunerati tive work in the same manner. In every case the expense
 of any of this work is met by the state.
 In various other ways the state board is also able to assist the blind. Further the board announces that it is ready and willing to cooperate in every possible way with their as-
 sistance. Physicians are invited to re-
 fer cases to the board and individuals
 are urged to write. The office is in
 Room "A at the state capitol here.
