DISTRICT BILL ALTERED
 SOON

Hartford-Sen. Bowers of Man chester, who prepared the congress sional redistricting bill, dividing the state into six districts is preparing to amend the measure to meet possi-
 ble objections similar to those made
 ten years ago when Repr esentatlve
 Stevens of Berlin, author of the bill
 creating the present five districts, was obliged to make concessions In his plan for equally dividing the state according to population.
 Politics inevitably affects attempts
 to divide the state on purely popula. ton lines, as does the objection or certain communities to being alien ated from large centers or other towns with which they are associat- | ed by direct contract or otherwise The principal objection heard thus | far relates to the taking of the town | of Orange from the district Which 1 includes New Haven and placing 1t i in the district with Bridgeport and
 it's environs. Major Louis M. Ull- iman. chairman of the Third District 1 Congressiona1 committee, is under
 stood to have voiced his obection to having Orange set off from New Ha-
 ven in the re-division and it is proba- ble that an amendment will meet his objection before the final adoption 1 of the measure.

THE PEOPLES SAY
CHRISTIAN? DOPE the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor of The Times:
 Your editorial of Jan. Il under the ' heading of Christian" was short. but sharper than a twoedged sword. It certainly proclaimed the truth.
 The socalled Christian nations are really swayed by Satan rather than py the teachings of Jesus.
 The Bible states that before The Flood the earth was filled with vio- fence.
 Surely since 1914 the earth has been filled with vio1ence,-and pesti- aence-and famine Thanks to the farmers have become bankrupt - many more have become discouraged hence the famine will continue and will consume millions more of the people.
 China is a country of wonderful re- sources, and millions of people. The f Big Business profteer has also done business here. The feeling of the Chinese toward the foreigners who have been instru- < mental in forcing the opium traffic < upon their country is well expressed by Wong Chin Foo. who was educat- < ed in this country. We quote an ex- tract from an article printed in the North American Review:
 'When the English wanted the Chinaman's gold and trade, they said they wanted ito open Chino for their 1nissionaries.' And the opium was the cnleI, In fact the only, missionary z they looked after when they forced the ports open. And this infamous Christian introduction among China men has done more injury, social and moral, in China than all the humani- tarian agencies of Christianity could remedy in two hundred years And on you, Christians and on your greed of gold, we lay the burden of the crime resulting: of tens of millions of honest. useful men and women sent thereby to a premature death after a short, miserable life. besides the physical and moral prostration 1, entails even where it does not pre. maturely kill? And this great na. tiona1 curse was thrust on us at the point of Christian bayonets.'

BEST DEFENSE FOR WOMAN IS
 HUSKY SCREAM

erkeley.-'twoman's best defense is her scream. A good, 1usty scream answers the purpose better than fire arms,'' August. Vollmer, chief of po- lice of Berkeley. told woman's viz ilantes committee today. Among oth- CT things he said:
 "Do not let solicitor, peddler or beggar into your home If he asks for money he is not safe; he is dan gerous Call a policeman. Turn so- licitors out. They are after the wom- en to get their names on the dotted line for sofnething that they do not need.
 "When you pull down the shades and turn out the lights on leaving home you put up a sure sign for the burglar that you are out. Leave at least one light burning and the shades up. Tell your neighbors.'
 The women discussed tying tin pans on the doors and windows, hys- teria and the awful thoughts of a woman expecting a burglar for two or three years and he never came '' but were undecided as to what action they would take other than that they all agree to report all suspicious char | acters in their neighborhood to the | police.

A FOOTBALL story by Ralph Henry
n Barbour is always treat to
lovers Of the gridiron game. Willard
Harmon is kidnapped and rorcefully
persuaded to enter Alton Academy by
some enthusiastic students of the in
stitution, who confuse him with his
brother, Gordon, famous fullback.
Notwithstanding the difficulty of living
up to his brothers reputation, Willard
tries for the team and makes a cred
table showing. An unfortunate i'm
pulse prompts him, in company with
several of his teammates, to paint the
score of an Alton victory on build
ing, which in turn turns out to be the
residence of the principal of the rival
school. However, he gets out of this
scrape in time to play in the "big
game" at each end of the season. One
of the outstanding figures in the book
is an earnest student named McNatt,
popularity known as McNutt, who rooms
with toads and snakes and has a curl

corking good fullback, nevertheless.

ROMAN ROLAND. BY stefan zweig.
Published by Thomas Scltzer. 81.
H OLLAND won his place in the
N forefront of the worlds writer's
before the outbreak of the late
war. His attitude during the conflict
slienated Frenchmen and many other
men the world over. His lately pub
lished "Clerambault," sincere apology
or explanation, went far to reinstats
him in his old enviable position, for It
was an almost perfect statement for
the citizen OF the world who abhors
war. Now, to supplement Rolland's
own Interpretation of his broad views
of men and life, we have, in Stefan
Zweig's biography, one of the most
successful analyses of genius produced
In years. In the translation there ia
no loss OF Zweig's vivid projection into
words of the essential self that is
ROLAND.
Romain ROLAND developed slowly.
His foundations were laid we'll in bases
Of accurate knowledge wisely planned,
and he spent years in isolation, build
Ing a superstructure of intimate asso-
citation with all that is good in the
annals Of history. At the very root of
sll that was and is ROLAND, evidenced
In his boyhood, was a persistent and
passionate love of harmony, an instant
and molian sympathy with great
thought and pure motive. With him
life modulates into the terms Of music.

music Of Beethoven would revive in me

ROOSEVELT IN THE BAD LANDS. BY
Hermann Hagedorn. Houghton -Miffin
Company Boston. Price s5.
VI F every community in the West
a that was once frontier could be
8 written Of as intimately as Her
mann Hagedorn has written Of
the Dakota Bad Lands country around
Medora, in Roosevelt in the Bad
Lands" literature would be great
gamer.
Mr. Hagedorn has not only written
Of Colonel Roosevelt's career but has
given good general picture Of the life
in and about Medora and intimate por-
traits of the individuals, good and bad,
with whom any one who settled in that
part of the country had to be more or
less intimately associated. In the epi-
logue we get some idea of the extent
and faithfulness of Mr.. Hagedorn's re-
search. He says:
"Sylvane Ferris fingered as foreman
of the cattle ranch which Roosevelt
still retained in the Bad Lands, and
Joe Ferris still ran his store, officiated
as postmaster and kept room for
Roosevelt on his infrequent visits.
Bill Williams shot a man and went to
Jail and with him went the glory Of
his famous saloon. Of his old cronies,
Hell-Roaring Bill Jones only remained
The Langs remained at Yule. After the
evil winter Sir James Pander threw
them ON their own resources and the
years that followed were hard. Lang,
as. county commissi oner, became an
important factor in the development of
the county and his ranch fourished.
Lincoln Lang turned to engineering and
became an inventor. He went East to
live, but his heart remained among the
buttes where he had spent his ad-
venturous boyhood. The Eatons for
sock the punching of cattle and en-
gagged in dude ranching on a grand
scale, and the Eaton Ranch began to
be famous from coast to coast even
before they moved to Wolf. Wyoming,
in the foothills of the Big Horn Noun
tains. Mrs. Cummins drifted away with
her family, carrying, no doubt, her dis
content with her. Lloyd Roberts dis
appeared as though the earth had
swallowed him; murdered, it was sup
posed, in Cheyenne, after he had loaned
Bill Williams $500. Mrs. Roberts was

not daunted. She kept the little ranch
on Sloping Bottom and fed, clothed and
educated her five daughters by her own
unaided efforts.
Roosevelt had from the start
thrown his lot with the men who had
been most emphatic in their denuncia-
tion of the killing of Riley Luffsey,"
says Mr.. Hagedorn.
This was an affair which had caused
bad blood in the neighborhood. An
other reason why the relations be-
tween the marquis and Roosevelt were
strained was the matter of a contract
for the delivery of hundred head of
cattle from the young owner of the
Maltese Cross ranch. When the cat
tie were driven in the marquis, accord
ing to Mr.. Hagedorn's version of the
affair, attempted to secure them for
the market price, which was below the
price agreed on a short time before
Roosevelt imme mediately ordered the
cattle driven out Of the yard. While
there was no open break between the
men, their relations were somewhat
formal.
Roosevelt engaged in his cattle rails
ing enterprise most impulsively. After
he had determined to buy some cattle
and take up the business of ranchine
in the Bad Lands, where he had spen,
few days as a hunter, he found the
other members of the family opposed
to his scheme. But he persisted in it.

IN music" he wrote.
In the close space that we can give
to this review, and we regret the COM
preston, we refer briefly to Zweig's
fine treatment of Jean Christophe, the
work that flashed Rolland's name over
the lands of men who know good writ
ing and superb craftsmanship in the
fashioning Of character in fiction. 1t
was, as zweig infers, book without
national soil beneath it, written for all
men, presentation Of the struggle
toward self lf-expression of mankind epit-
omized in an individual While built
on plan that approximates the for
mula of great symphony "the book
ignores all the ordinary canons and is
mono the less characteristic product
Of its time. Standing outside liter
ature, it is an Overwhelmingly powerful
literary manifestation. Often enough
it ignores the rules of art, and is yet
q most perfect expression of art 1t is
not book but message; 1t is not a
history. but is nevertheless q record of
our time. More than book, it is the
daily miracle. Of revelation of man
who lives the truth, whose whole life
is truth"

ROLAND, written by friend, must i'm

cized books of the year. We regret that

raiscrs.
OF course, there were many hunting
trips during these years of ranch life.
Also there were trips to New York. On
his return from one of these trips to
his home Roosevelt wore derby hat
ON the streets Of Medora. Usually
derbies were knocked off and shot full
Of holes, Mr.. Hagedorn says, but
Roosevelt's was not disturbed. One Of
his best hunting trips was to the dis
tant Big Horn Mountains, in Wyoming,
where his friends the Eatons were to
move later. He found much pleasure
in writing about those trips and also
his ranching experiences. On his first
hunting expedition, Immediately after
his arrival as O tenderfoot, he killed
buffalo, though not until after q long
and arduous trip which gave his guides
their first inkling Of the capabilities
OF this stranger, who was at once named
-Four Eyes" because of the big, round
glasses he wore. In fact, the Eastern
"punkin lily" as his kind was gener-
ally classified, made good from the
start
Business was always uppermost with
Roosevelt, even among the attractions
of this great hunting country, where
wild game Of all kinds could be found
at every cabin door. Even though he
deferred to the superior experience Of
his partners, he was Every much the
leader" according to Mr.. Hagedorn
"He learned quickly and worked hard, .
t, says the biographer. "He cared little
for money, yet was thrifty and was
naturally progressive. He was never
'bossy,' the men noted, but was insist
ent on discipline, on regularity OF
habits, on prompt obedience and on

absolute integrity" Roosevelt went
out on the Maltese Cross round-ups and
insisted on being treated just like one
Of the men. Though he was not u
good roper, and though his poor eye
sight made it impossible for him to
work cutting out" different brands,
he made place for himself with the
outfit.
One can only share Mr. Hagedorn's
unspoken regrets that the files Of "The
Bad Lands Cowboy" sprightly news
paper at Medora, edited by the humor-
Gus and fearless A. T. Packard, were
destroyed in the fire that took the
plant of Medora's unique publication.
