CITY FORESIGHT

It Is always satisfactory to see fore
sight displayed by the city. Now, be-
fore snow has really come to trouble
us-and to make the children happy
the board OF public works has be-
gun to plan how snow may be cleans
ed from the sidewalks promptly 1t
is the boards business to decide the
method that will be adopted; the
board should know the best way and
the advice and cooperation of the
police commissioners will, of course
be given. Whether through Special
policeman" or by other means the
city should be free of the dangers and
inconvenience suffered from permit
ting snow to accumulate upon side
walks. The time to prevent this will
come with the first real fall of snow.
Once a small accumulation Of snow
is allowed to remain upon a walk,
the work Of cleaning of that walk be-
comes more difficult and. may be kept
difficult for weeks at time.
In planning for city improvements,
also, such as sewers, foresight is also
advisable especially at this time.
These months are good months to
plan for the future. Again Roger
Babson, who knows what he is talking
about may be cited as authority for
the statement that progressive cities
are planning to do ten years work, or
are planning for ten years work, to
be done in the next five years. NUM-
cipal bonds have a good market today.
With the talk of possible constitution
al amendment restricting the right Of
municipalities to issue tax-exempt
bonds that market will not be as
good, quite probably. City foresight is
especially to be commended today.

o'CONNOR's PARENTS

The words of the parents of Rory
OConnor, who was executed recently
by the Free State government OF
Ireland, are worthy of perpetuation
Whenever Rory O'Connor's namt
is mentioned, those words should be
repeated.
1--WE abhor anything in the nature
of reprisal for the death Of our son,
Rory O'Connor," they write. "Our
grief is not softened by thought of the
suffering of Others"
II the spirit of the parents of Rory
OConnor were to enter the hearts OF
all the people of Ireland, Regulars
and Irregulars alike, there would be
peace, joy and happiness in that land
which SO many of the people in this
country as well as on the island itself
love. Were those words of the par
ents of Rrory O'Connor to inspire
strength tempered by wise modera-
ton surely Ireland would owe those
parents of the man who has been
executed a great and everlasting debt
The contribution to Ireland Of those
parents of Rory O'Connor cannot be
estimated in the wonderful possible
ties contained in the spirit of their
words.

AN APPEAL TO WOMEN

An emergency call comes for surgi-
cal dressings. They are needed at
once at the New Britain General hos
pital. This appeal is only a little
less moving than would be the call of
a victim of an accident who lies
bleeding by the roadside. No man,
woman or child would pass by ION
the other side" and let that victim
bleed, perhaps to death. But men are
awkward, rough, no matter how will
ing they may be. To women has been
given that dexterity of fingers that fit
them peculiarly for the work of pre-
pairing these dressings. 1t is one Of
woman's characteristics which man
cannot take from her and to which
she clings. And with that skill goes
woman's heart, touched always by
such an appeal. The American Red
Cross is called "The Great Mother.
Men work for it; but without women
the organization would be sadly lack
ing in the inspiration which makes
It the most honored and beloved Sc
cular organization in the country.
So the women of New Britain will
respond to his call made by the New
Britain hospital for the sake of those
brought to it. On the front page of

GET YOUR MARKERS

| For the sake OF owners of motor
vehicles attention is called to the
statement OF the motor vehicles de-
partment OF the state that the law
requiring new markers by January
first will be rigidly enforced. Previ-
ously there have been times when the
department asked the police not to
enforce the law for a while after the
first of the year, as the department
had not been able to handle the ap-
plicants calling for registration at
the last minute. This year, however,
although there may be the last min
ute rush as formerly, and although
there may be some people unable tn
obtain their new markers owing to
this rush II they wait until the last
minute, the department states that the
law will be enforced.
In order to be on the safe side.
therefore, and run no risk OF the un-
pleasant consequences that might
follow failure to register on time. as
we'll as in order to avoid the incon-
venience OF trying to register your
vehicle In the last minute rush, 1t
would be well for motorists to do so
as soon as possible. What the un-
pleasant results of not having the new
markers will be is not stated. and the
statement Of the department Is the
only authority for the information
that the law will be enforced this year.
Nor is the propriety Of enforcing the
law II there was good reason why
one could not obtain his new marker
in time here commented upon. The
warning is here emphasized merely to
protect the driver Of motor vehicle.

While carrying dinner pail and a
bottle of coffee to Russell q Erwin's
screw shop this afternoon, small boy
named johnson fell on Myrtle street.
He cut his wrist on the broken glass,
but the cut was not serious. His
cries revealed the fact that he didn't
mind the cut so much as he did the
loss of his coffee.
Many people are availing them
selves of the comfort afforded by the
big cushion seats in the new Hartford
trolley cars. AS the Hartford cars
now wait at the park twenty min
utes, people waiting for other cars
make a waiting station out of the
Hartford cars.
The council will meet this evening
to take up the matter OF the COM

sewage in the Park river. The COM
plant states that, as the Park river
flows around the capitol 1t isn't prop
err for this city to use the river for
sewage disposal.

THE u. S. AND EUROPE

1t is being intimated at Washing
ton that the government has not been
inactive" in using its influence to
help straighten out the European sit
uation. 1t is intimated, in other words
that the government has been doing
quietly what 1t is not prepared to do
openly. This may be the part Of wis
dom; 1t may be inspired by timidity.
In any event 1t is not the American
way of doing things. Possibly we do
not want any covenants" but the
phrase open covenants openly ar
rived at" is an attractive phrase and
appeals to people of this country.
There is a decided feeling of hu-
initiation in the hearts Of many Amer
leans because we are apparently do
ing nothing and saying nothing while
the Turks demand that a whole peo-
pie shall leave their homes and pos
sessions and 60 into another land
or remain at their own peril. This
feeling is only slightly relieved by
news that Ambassador Child has ask
ed protection for the minorities and
the creation Of territorial refugees
for special populations. The United
States. at present, is in no position in
the conferences in Europe, to do any
thing but remain silent while Ismet
Pasha scornfully rejects any such
plea. Sure, the moral influence" Of
this country is great, but that moral
influence would be greater, 1t is be-
lieved, If whatever moves are being
made in Washington toward helping
out in this situation were to be made
public. Despite the bogy of foreign
entanglements'' such moves would
receive the hearty support of the
American people.

u. S. AMBASSADOR is
SAVIOR OF MEETING
child's Talk With Pasha Has Gone
Far Toward Making Settle
mcnt Likely

Lausanne. Dec. IA (By the Assoeiat-
ed Press -Ambassador Child's frank
talk with Ismet Pasha yesterday on
the subject of minorities residing In
Turkey made a good impression In
Turkish circles and exercised n calm
Ing influence on the entire Lausanne
conference which nervously saw dan
gers OF a breakdown OF all the nego-
tiations because OF the threatened
rupture over the treatment OF tho
Greeks and Armenians by Turkey.
The friendly intervention of the
American ambassador at the right
moment has convinced the, Turks of
the immense strength of world opin-
particularly that OF the United
States--on the need for settlement
of the minority problem. Ambassador
Child urged Ismet to reconsider his
position as to the Armenians and
other dislodged populations, pointing
out that American contributors to re-
lief work in the Near East desired to
know that their gifts would help the
refugees In Asia Minor to settle In
permanent homes.
Turkish spokesman believe that the
American representative at the con-
ference was the natural arbitration of
this vexing problem. They contend
that Turkey desires to do the right
thing but adds that any measures
designed to satisfy world opinion must
not violate Turkeys sovereign rights
or force her to grant exceptional
privileges to people within her Dor
ders whom she cannot assimilate.
Ismet's reply to Lord Curzon's Wig
orous denunciation of the Turkish at
titude toward the minority question
was awaited today. with many dele
gates predicting that Ismet, bowling
to high humanitarian considerations,
would offer new suggestions, calculat-
ed to prepare the way for satisfac-
tory settlement of the Armenian
Greek difficulty.
