THE FOCH FAREWELL.

T came here to pay a debt of grat- itude. but I find that instead of pay ing the debt, I am doubling it."
 These were the words of Marshal Ferdinand Foch in his farewell to the United States spoken at dinner giv- en by the New York State Governors committee for the Reception of Dis tinguished Guests, at the Hotel Com modore, New York city, last evening"
 The presence of the great leader in Hartford yesterday brought home more forcibly to the people of the state of Connecticut the full senti- mental significance of his visit. Not impossible too, is the belief that his coming to this country has had a moral effect not to be underestimated. His reception in our land was as en- thusiastic and honest as we were able to make it. His farewell to us was couched in graceful words of appre- citation characteristic of the strong men of the land from which he cones.

to deliver them before Christmas Day"
 The express agent declared that the carriers ask the public to ship their Christmas gifts in 'per'ect paC kages," so that the shipments nay be safely and quickly delivered.
 He points out that it is advisable for holiday shippers to take special care in the packing and marking of their gift shipments. He urges plain, lcgi ble addresses directly on ship ments if possible, and with "all old marks erased"
 Christmas gifts in boxes or cartons should be so reinforced with packing material as to avoid shifting of con tents in transit. It is advisable to place the name and address of the shipper inside of the package.
 This inside information often leads to the recovery of a misdircct- ed or migcarried shipment, or one from which the address has been lost in transit
 The express company is distributing Christmas labels for gift shipments, carrying the words Not to he opened until Christmas" winch can be ob tained at local express offices.

All emphasis should be given the appeal of Fire Chief Noble 10 the people of the city to notify the de- partment of q fire by turning in the call at one of the fire boxes and not over the telephone.
 The words Of the Chief as pub lished yesterday, arc strong enough and explanatory enough to make the reasons for this request plain. It is for the people to heed such request.
 When fire breaks ont the orders of the chief of the fire department must be obeyed by the ordinary citizens as well as by members of the depart ment or those who hold authority un- der him.
 The moment a blaze is seen the chief is in command of the situation.
 The moment you or anyone else sees the fire you or such other per son should consider yourself or him self under the orders of the chief Now he has issued orders in the form of an appeal Remember that appeal and consider the words as if they were spoken to you the instant you see the first indication of fire. The orders are given now to be obeyed at such a time. Confusion will be avoid ed property and possibly lives will De saved by such obedience. ..
 Use the fire boXes not the tele- phone, to notify the fire department of the blaze.

SIGNED

Despite the fact that such a treaty l is what the majority of the American people desire, there cannot be any
 contemplation of the signing of the | pact between the United States, Great | Britain, France, and Japan without a 1 feeling of wonder that the thing has | been accomplished. And with that
 wonder there is bound to come the 1 inclination to hesitate befote express | ing enthusiastic approval.
 The approval is here, however; of i that there may be little question. The | Iirreconciables- few of them-and | half dozen others are opposed, and i the differing accounts of how the Senate takes treaty show that this un- | certainty in reaching a decision in
 mems minds has reached that high |place. From one source, usually to be
 relied upon, comes the statement that opponents to the treaty are losing; ] from another like source of inter- prctation springs that the opposition is
 growing stronger,
 1 There is satisfaction for once in the thought of the delay to be expected | in Senate before ratification or dis Iapproval. Moreover it may be stated Iauthoritatiyely that President Harding desires no haste in the matter, but rather that he wishes a full discussion to the end that public opinion may be cry5talizcd and that there shall be nothing done of such momcntous i'm
 portancc without full knowledge of the people.
 The reservations, signed at the time of tho signing of the treaty. excluding from the treaty questions lying within the domo.tic jurisdiction Of each of tho romr powers, and resyring the
 right to this country to make separate
 treaties with mandate holding powers, rnmo at tho iusti-ation Of the United -'.ta2, Tire sowation regarding 4apartc ter.,aa is but temporary it is hcHevel and rofors especially to thn pact with Japan which will be signed shortly.
 EaE.and'a rumored plan to hold .m economic conference and to can enl war dolts owing to her by France, FtlE HcIgium, Russia and small Bal
 sam allies, is not exactly altruistic perhaps. but aimed at a general benht t5 thaw countries, especially Germany and would undoubtedly aid Britain ia freeing her trade markets.
 1t IS reported that the democrats who will favor the ratification of the treaty see therein a justification of their stand for inc League of Nations. Probably republicans will bring the treaty into their case against the League and their support Of the As sociation" of Nations as suggested by

TROLLEYS AND THE RAILROADS

As previously stated in these columns it is impossible to determine just what the result will be to the people of this city, for instance, if the Connecticut Co. is returned to it's former owner, the New Haven Rail- road
 Attorney General Daugherty has in- dicated plainly that the return will be made unless it is found that the com pany is competing with the railroad. AS but one voice has been heard thus far expressing "concern' if the trolley company is given back to the road; as there has been practically no word said to indicate that it is competitor of the road although the call from the United States Attorney General has been widespread for such claim, 1t is to be presumed that his decision will be in favor of such return.
 The words of Frank E. Healy, At torney General of Connecticut, spoken before the United States Attorney General at the recent hearing, will bring a sympathetic echo in the hearts of people of New Britain at least The residents of other cities in the state will also agree with AIr Hcaly, unless personal interests prejudice them 10 the degree that they have lost all sense of proportion, This, as affect ing transportation within the limits of each city.
 MT Healy calcd the attention Of At- torncy General Daugherty to the fact that the state of Connecticut had done about all it could for the Connecticut company; that even though it were to make S79o,ooo this year, aa pre- dicted, such amount would not even pay the as3nssmrnt made against it for the Washington Bridge at Mil- ford.
 Further than this MT. Hcaly mon toned the sentiment in the state against permitting the public utilities commission to allow the company to raise it's fares for the purpose, among other things, Of paying salaries to trustees who are not skilled in railroad matters, He mentioned the legal quos- ton whether or not a state commission had any right to interfere in the man agement of a company the trustees of which were under the jurisdiction of the federal government

 HOOKS
 "HooEa." One who has noticed the crowds Of people, especially children, wao seek and find books at the New Britain Institute, cannot but be inn pressed by the picture. The poasibil- ties for enlightenment, for a more thorough understanding of life, for development of minds able to think land reason more easily and accurately which lie in the pcrusal of such vol amn5 as are given out with discretion Ut our local library, are limitIess.
 Today parents wonder at the knowl- edge already gain by their children. sometimes they are at a loss to re- spond inteIligently to their questions, half asked, half asserted as facts. Wise parents themselves profit the moment they recognize how far they Ire falling behind their children in re- gard to matters which they, the par ents, learned something of years ago, perhaps, but in regard to the newest developments of which they are in complete ignorance. The wise parent seeks knowledge on these matters i'm mediately. Child and parents are the gathers, the latter bringing experience to bear upon the subject which has just impressed the child; the former disclosing the new, fresh but some times mistaken viewpoint which which the child sees the matter learned of for the first time.
 In the same spirit comes the move mcnt of the American Merchant Mar inc Library Association, strongly fla vored by Herbert Hoover, to place books on every American steamer for the use of the crew. Books are to be distributed to vessels in port in New York if the plans of the association are successful.
 The day has come when men and women who think at all feel that they simply must learn, learn, learn. Those in a position to do so believe in help ing to make this possible. The fact is q splendid hope bringing, encouraging,
 sign of the times," for we in this country believe that in edu- cation lies the nearest approach to the great panacea for all wrong and injustice and unhappiness that the human mind is able to conceive.
