PEACE WITH AMERICAN
INDEPENDENCE

"You just bet your life we are at
peace with Germany, and not only
that but we are also at peace without
having been tied up with the world
club and thousand other things that
would have happened to us if we had
agreed to the treaty drawn up in
Paris

tickled to death over the fact that the
peace treaty has been signed with Ger

coming part of the world club.

"we are at peace with Germany. The
treaty, which gives the contents of the
act of congress of July 2, 1921, declar-
ing the war to be at an end, has been
signed. We are not member of the
world club, which would have de-
stroyed American independence gained

has not fallen to pieces because of
this, even though some would have us
think so.

international problems in the Pacific
and such other controversies as now
prevent complete understandings
among them. President Harding be-
ieves that the practical way to stop
future wars is to settle peacefully the
disputes that bring them about, and
to limit the size of armies and navies,
on the theory that unrestrained com
bring about war sooner or later.
"Now don't think that stopping war
is the only purpose in holding an arm
ament conference. Another purpose is
to relieve the people of the world Of
the immense burden of maintaining
armies and navies If we maintain au
army Of 100000 men, that means not
only that 100000 men are taken out
of productive employment and the rest
Of the people-those who work at
farming and manufacturing and keep
ing stores and practicing law-musy
work that much harder to support tn
soldiers.
You mustn't think that I am con.
demning the men who go into the
army and navy AS parasites. Far
from it. l have the greatest respect
for the man who is willing to 20 into
training and hold himself ready to be
the first to go to the front in ease
Of war.
THE point is just this-under pres.
ent conditions, each nation must be
constantly ready to meet an enemy
nation, and the extent of our prepared
ness must depend largely upon the
size of the armies and navies of other
nations. 1t would be folly for us to
cut down our army and navy unless
other nations did the same. If we
permitted ourselves to become weak
with all the wealth we possess. we
would tempt other nations to impose
upon us or even attack us.
What President Harding hopes to
accomplish at the armament confer
ence is to induce all the leading ma.
tions to settle some international aues.
tons that are now in doubt and then
agree upon plan by which all the
nations will limit their armament so
that there will be an end to compe,
tlon in maintaining armies and navies
81 am not at all sure that the ma
tons can get together on An suee-
ment, but it is well worth trying. We
thought we had made great progress
in civilized warfare through some
agreements that had been made in con.
ferences at The Hague, many ysars
ago, but when the war with Gernnnv
broke out we found that the agree.
ments were not kept at all.
If we can get all the ltaG,n, nh
tions actually to reduce their armies
and navies on a fair basis, We will not
only reduce the probability of war, but
lift from the people some Of the load
OF maintaining an army and navy.

If only would stop to take it,
And many tone from the better land,
If the querulous heart would wake it
To the sunny soul that is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne 'er faileth,
The grass is green and the flowers are bright
Though the wintry storm prevalent.
Better to hope, tho the clouds hang low,
And to keep the eyes still lifted;
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep thru,
When the ominous clouds are rifted!
There was never a night without day,
Or an evening without morning,
And the darkest hour, as the proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is many a gem in the path OF life,
Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeweled crown
Or the miser's boarded treasures
1t may be the love of little child,
Or mothers prayer to Heaven
Or only beggar's grateful thanks
For a cup of water given.
Better to weave in the web of life
bright and golden filling,
And to do Gods will with ready heart
And hands that are swift and willing,
Than to snap the delicate slender threads
OF our curious lives asunder,
And then blame Heaven for the tangled ends
And sit and grieve and wonder.

around the stem. When this

ND IS BRINGING
 SEASON TO A CLOSE
Bristol Club Will Wind Up Series
 This Week Probably

There will be no moro baseball games Tn Bristol this season after this week end. This announcement, coming from tho New Departure baseball manage mont, will be read with regret by a very large number of fans. who have taken much pleasure in following the fortunes of the N D ball club this season.
 But before Bristol bids farewell to tho national sport this fall. the fans wi1l go to Muzzy field twice this week 10 witness tho grand climax of the whole seasons efforts. Two series may be settled this week. The third rame with Manchester will be played today in which n victory for New De- pnrture will mean more than usual to ths town. It will mean the defeat of ono of the very best ball teams that Bristol's bitterest rivals ever had. In case New Departure should lose tho third game. tho fourth will bc played in Manchester the following week. If that game should also be dropped. tho final game of the series would in all probability be played off on neutral grounds,-the Clarkin field at Hartford.
 On Sunday, tho fnal game with winsted is played at Muzzy field, each NfAID HhNink OId haihN* AA season long. winsted had been rather looked down on because it was thought that their team was not up to the standard set by Torrington. New De- parturc. and Manchester, but sudden ly they loomed up strong beating Tor rington twice and otherwise proving that they were n team that could not bo trifed with. New Departure met them In n decidedly hitting mood, and before the smoke of battle blew over tho Bristolites had clouted out 13 hits, many of them for extra sacks.
 Tho return game was slated the day before the double header with Tor rinEton and Goodridge and welch were being saved for those tilts. AS it happened. Eddie Goeb was not in his usual form. and the Gilbert Fielders took q very great liking to his offer ings It was not thought best to re- iiove Eddie until tho sixth chapter when weIch went in and finished the game. The result of that contest was a beating for New Departure to the tune of 10 to 2. Now comes the final battle, with Eddie Goodridge busy setting back Manchester on tho day before. This means that probably Tony welch will have the job of sub dulnE winsted and all things point to very closo game.
