CIT MIGHT HAVE BEEN'

A New Britain man made re- markable statement yesterday that the bright sunlight, the almost spring-like beauty of the midday, made him sad and reminded him of the tragic phrase: Tt might have been."
 Pressed for an explanation he seem- ed hesitant, fearing, apparently, that his thoughts would sound too didactic coming from person whose last thought was to preach.
 The sunlight, the warmth, he said made him feel as though he had jumped over the rest of the winter and was enjoying the first days of early spring. He said the realization that spring had come than he had not progressed any more than he had was honestly painful to him. He had been working along regularly, he admitted, doing about as he had done last year, but he had failed utterly to ac- complish the things he had expected to accomplish and had, in fact, on that fourteenth day of January, scarcely begun to consider seriously the real worth while advancement he had planned to make in things both tangi- ble and intangible while the winter lasted. He said that, although he was not keen for winter, although he look ed forward eagerly to spring, he did not want it to come finding him and his affairs in exactly the same posi- tion as far as progress and better mcnt was concerned as they had been when the first cold of the season had arrived. For this reason it was quite like waking from a mild nightmare to realize that the spring had not come and that he had still some time in which to accomplish the things he had planned to accomplish. And I'll

Nothing definite enough has been done by the League 10 alter q stand for or against 1t where that stand was as pronounced and determined as was that of the former President,
 Speaking of the League of Nations, Mir. Wilson is reported to have said "Those that don't regard 1t will have to look out for themselves. l have no anxiety for it." ..
 Mir. Wilson brides himself upon his correct use of words, his grammar, When he said those that" instead of those who" he must have referred to nations and not people, The United States is the chief nation which has not regarded" the League. The United States, therefore, will have to look out for itself, according to Mr. Wilson. No exception may be taken to this remark either by those who favor our entrance into the League, or by those opposeu' we shall have to look out for ourselves, and most of us believe we are able to do 1t, much as we may regret that we are not member of league which has world peace for its aim.
 But apparently MT. Wilson has no anxiety for those who do not regard It." Ergo he has no anxiety for the United States. It is only regarding the League that he expresses his anx- iety and he declares in so many words that he has no anxiety for 1t. He believed and evidently believes today that this country should throw it's strength into the gap at which the common enemy, war,--the enemy of this and every nation and of the world, was being directed, so confi- dent is he of the general beneficial results that would follow such action by the United States.

GIVE UP WAR CRIMINALS

The nter-alied commission on war crimes adopted and transmitted to the Cannes conference of the Supreme Council two resolutions concerning war criminals, The first finds the trials held at leipsic unsatisfactory and unproductive of justice; the sec ond states 1t is useless to submit more cases for trial there and recommends making effective the article of the treaty of Versailles which provides for the surrender to the allies by Ger many of any identified persons charg- ed with war offenses.
 The Cannes conference was broken up suddenly. From remarks of Pre- mier Poincare 1t may be inferred that the power of the Supreme Council Is not on the increase, at least.
 Notwithstanding these facts 1t IS satisfactory to know that action has been taken looking toward changing | rom tle laTClCul alldlTS tnty WtTc, tHc trials of the men thought responsible for the most inhuman tragedies of an linhuman warfare and making them real trials The adoption of these reso- mtions means little in itself, but the action paves the way for subsequent steps which would eventually carry try to convince Germany that, despite her own conviction on the matter she was humiliated before the world in defeat which was real and not the theoretical thing Germany assumed it to be.

HEART DISEASE

There were 664 more deaths from heart disease in New York city in |1921 than in the year previous, ac- cording to Health Commissioner Cope land. He declares that people of that city are rushing into it, that they run up the subway stairs, hurry from their homes and back again, stand on trans portation lines twice as often as they sit down and are nervous even when in repose. Even the evenings enter- tainment is taken on rush.
 This is not trivial matter which may be dismissed with the comment that the health commissioner is mere- ly theorizing and that there is no danger in hurrying too much; that it IS far better to hurry and get things ac- complished, than to take things too easily. This is all very true, but the need of intervals between periods of quick, energetic action, periods of re- taxation, rest, is vital.
 There is a man in this city who took such a period of relaxation Christmas day. It was particularly beneficial |sort of rest, although the thought which inspired it was not one con- ceived because he was worrying about his health.
 Some time ago this man adopted a little girl under pathetic circumstances. He is of but moderate means, but her unhappy lot appealed to him and his wife, Last Christmas he asked the lit- tie girl what she would like best. Her reply was that she wanted poor little girl with whom she played to share her pleasure that day. The child was brought to the happy home; clothes, toys and happiness were hers. She went to bed Christmas night with her little hostess, but in the silence of the night she wept-she could not sleep | and sisters and the mother who were not having the happy time which had come to her.
 The next morning, fulfilling his promise with which he had been able to soothe his small daughters guest to sleep the night before, the man went to the poor house, found the mother and four brothers and sisters of his child's friend, and brought them to his own home. Here they too, received clothes, food, toys and a happiness which they were scarcely able to recognize so strange to them was it.
 The tale is told by an official of one of New Britain's great manufacturing plants. The name of the good Samar- itan is not given because it is believed he would not care for the publicity.
 The incident itself is appropriate in connection with the mention of the ruch of New York which brings heart disease when no periods of rest and relaxation are taken. The New Britain man took the sort of relaxation last Christmas day which would go long way toward preventing heart disease, if taken more universally, unless it be the sort of heart disease that should be cultivated on Christmas and every other day.

Then he comes to the story of the old mans childhood and it's influence upon all the rest of his fife and this, which makes half the length of the tale, he allows Old Graumann. to tell in his own words. It brings out the insidious influence upon his own character of the envy he had felt as child of his younger brother, who, always Trailer than he and finally becoming an invalid, re- ceived, it seemed to him, more atten- ton from their parents than did he. This black hatred and resentment he had cherished in his heart until it led him into cruelties from whose conse- quence the little brother had died. And for more than a half century remorse and grief had perpetually stung his heart.

able emotional power and with keen
 insight into the psychology of both the German child and the German father. The harsh discipline, the lack of understanding, the absence of real sympathy, the determination to enforce his own will, regardless of consequences, of the German father, of which so many authors have writ ten, are here portrayed with the inti mate touch of one who writes out of fullness of knowledge. It makes an impressive if a tragic story, not withstanding the frequent halts for indulgence in sentimentality of char acteristicalIy Germanic flavor. The translation appears to be exceedingly well done.
