"J HAVEN'T TIME"

ihere IS a practical suggestion in the short dispatch telling of the sur p'ise ol the Janitor of the wounded sold1ers' institution in Paris. on learn Ing that the man who had assistod d oIlnd man whom the ianitor hadn't tune to help, was Marshal Foch.
 There is truth in the seeming para dox that the more a man has to do the more things he finds time to do or the more time he finds in which 10 do things. Most people have had the experience of looking back through day lazily begun, and finding that they have not done even the few things that were important to ac- complish. On the other hand one may remember days when there were so many matters to be attended to that it seemed some must be neglect ed. An early start and persistence. however, brought attention to them all.
 There was the case of a middle aged man, considered an efficient worker in his business, who attended training camp at the time of the war. There were not twenty minutes during the day in which there was not something provided for him to do, After a few months of this experience, noting all the things he had ac- complished each day, he declared that he was going to revolutionize his business and demands on himself and his employees. He had just begun to realize how much may be done in day without resorting to the cry T haven't time"
 It is rare indeed to hear man of large affairs assert that he hasn't time to do something. If T haven't time were considered d confession of lack of executive ability the expression would fall into disuse.
 Passing over the interest Of the tale of Marshal Foch and the feeling of one has that he had time" to aid the blind man, one may see in the incident another case of man of large affairs having time" to do something which was avoided by a

GERMANY SHOULD PAY"

When the armistiee was declared there was distinct feeling of regre' that Germany was getting off sc easily, despite the tremendous relief which a cessation of the terrible slaughter of war brought, Germany's country was not invaded, her land remained unharmed, Germany did not admit she was beaten; her people did not feel they were beaten. Ger mans did not have before their eyes, in the form Of ruined cities, disman- tied manufacturing plants, devasted fields, the awful proofs that great war had been lost-that she had brought near ruin upon herself
 But when the time came to pay what she owes she found that she had been beaten in war. She was ready to plead the excuse of the war for her inability to pay. She has been pleading that excuse ever since, Other nations have recognized the justice of her claim that it was hard for her to pay. Other nations have been planning to help her-to make payments as easy as possible for her.
 Andrew J, Sloper, whose opinion on such matters is respected possibly as much or more than that of any other man of this city would be. returns from Europe where he has studied His brief summary of the situation is significant; it is worth re- when we are inclined to favor too great leniency in a discus sion as to how far Germany should be pressed for payment.
 Germany should pay back every farthing she owes" declares Mr, Sloper.

FRESH AIR CAMP FUND.

The Herald asks subscriptions for the Fresh Air Camp Fund,
 Usually when donations are sought, it is felt that apologies are needed. Ii arguments showing the worthness Of the cause, the need of the money. the good that will be accomplished. Usually it seems necessary to investi- gate and study the matter from all angles to be sure the people are not being asked to contribute funds which they cannot well spare to something of questionable value.
 Not so in the case of the Fresh Air Camp Fund! The only arguments necessary to make it d success may be seen every day in the schools of the city, in many of the homes. on the streets Physically weak undernour- ished, threatened, perhaps, with a ser ious illness, the little children who will benefit from the camp which will be established again this year, are the strongest argument possible to con- ceive. look at them a hearing of their eager words when the Fresh Air Camp is mentioned, glance into their wistful eyes-these are all the argu- ments needed to move the heart of man or woman able to help, even in a small way, that they, these children, | may have the wonderful advantage of two weeks taste of joy in the glor- | ious air the sparkling sunshine of the l place planned for them this summer |
 Fairy-land oases in gray livesSare | these days spent in the camp by the | children most needing physical regen- eration. It is with enthusiasm and | pride in the privilege that The Herald asks contributions to the fund for this camp. The Herald will acknowl- edge such contributions by publica- ton of amounts received.

 So the account of that strange island Tristan da Cunha, with it's lao or more odd people, cut off from com muneation with the rest of the world, faseinates in spite of the tragedy Of the situation there, The people have intermarred with the result that children are horn, weak. crippled lacking limbs, power and hearing and of speech,
 Science tried an experiment years ago Of placing band Of people on an island and watching the result, It was disastrous
 The conclusion is inevitable that there must be new blood injected into any community, from the physical viewpoint in order 10 keep that com munitv physically strong.
 True in far lesser degree, but true nevertheless, is the case of a nation, Infusion of new blood is necessary to maintain physical standards and, of course, mental standards If the na- ton be great it would takes ages, of course, for evidences of deterioration. through inhreeding or intermarriage, to appear But such evidences would come just as inevitably as they may be seen today in that island of Tristan da Cunha.
 It is for this reason that there may be no permanent ban on immigration in this country. Well it is to restrict it well it is, perhaps. to forbid it abso- lutely for a short time. But there may be no consideration of a permanent barring of people of foreign birth from the country.

REFUSE COLLECTION.

Attention is called to the public hearing to be held this evening at city hall on the question oe refuse collection. Complaints in regard to this matter have been frequent. Peo- pie who have suggestions to make, and who have made those suggestions in places where they would do little good, should take this opportunity to attend this hearing and make them selves heard.
 The Superintendent of Health of the city believes in municipal collection of refuse for the city. Incidentally the refuse" referred to does not include garbage. Others believe that New Britain reached a stage of develop ment long since when this matter should be taken care of by the city.
 In addition to systematizing the work, combining the expense in such q way that the total sum spent for refuse collection would be smaller than the sum of the amounts spent privately for this purpose. there would be the advantage from munich pal collection of making use of the refuse in such a way that the refuse would become an asset not a liabil- ity. The refuse would be dumped where it is needed. Ii would not be used in such a way as to constitute a nuisance.
 This evening is the time to present arguments for or against the plan.

THE FIRE BOARD

Last nights debace at the Fire Board meeting gives evidence of q disposition to conduct the affairs of the city in manner that is bound to reflect upon the present administra- ton, whether Mayor Paonessa had a finger in the proceedings or not, Ac- cording to surmise he did not. he in- sinuates that he has no intention of cracking the whip over his boards. It Is rumored with reason it seems, that a faction is playing politics in man ner that cannot but be regrettable.
 The plain facts in the matter are the fire board met to elect q chair man. It was supposed that Emil Hierpe, holder of that position for about a year would be elected. There was a surprise in store. John keevers, a new appointee to the board, voted for himself for chairman. John Rogers, another new member. voted for Keevers William kranovitz voted
 
 for Mir. Hjerpe and MT. Hjerpe refus- cd to vote. Result, keevers elected. John Rogers is a republican who was once employed in the registrar of vot- CTS ofice. keevers is a democrat and q brother-in- law of the democratic registrar of voters. MT. kranowitz is a democrat, MT. Hierpe a republican,
 Irrespective of party politics, Mir. Hjerpe in our opinion should have been the selection of the board. He is not new to the board and is famaliar with the proceedings. Mr. keevers, new man on the board, a resident of the city, works in Bristol and has done so for several years. MT. Hjerpe had worked out plan for the two platoon system in the fire department upon which he had put much time Out of thin air the two new appointees produced a two platoon plan, such as it is, which hardly can have the merit Of MT. Hjerpe's.
 Pettness in politics under demo- cratic administra ton is going to be S detrimental to the city as under a re- publican, Last nights meeting of the 1 board seemed to indicate careful l plan to capture control of the board. l This is not as it should be. Merit and | acquaintance with duties should be 1 rewarded. MT. Hjerpe should have been reelected, not brother law | of the democratic registrar, new to | the job and who works out Of town. 1
 The action of commissioners Krano- witz and Hjerpe in resigning from the board cannot be criticised Providing such methods as were evidently prac- tised last evening are to be continued | their influence on the board would l amount to nothing and they might as we'll let the Keevers- Rogers com bination go the whole hog" and see what comes of their management.

Ginneberge and De Flegor AIlege
Evidence Against Them Was
"Planted."

Alphonse Ginneberge, proprie-
tor of a bar at 2610 Fifth avenue,
Rock Island, and August De F1egor,
his bartender, are on trial in county
court on a charge of keeping liquor
for sale. The defendants claim the
whisky used as evidence against
them was planted in the ice box by
someone a few minutes before rep
resentatives of the sheriff's office
raided the place, Dec. Is.
DeF1egor testified he was on
duty at the time of the raid. He
said he left the barroom to carry
in bucket of coal and shortly aft
er his return the raid occurred. A
half dozen men who were in the
place during De F1egor's absence,
told him someone had come in dur
ing his absence and placed some
thing in the ice box.
Gipneberge denies any know
ledge of liquor being sold in his
place of business.
This is the first of several liquor
cases scheduled for trial in county
court.
