Germans should renounce these poll
cies we would restore complete friend
ship to them. Wilson's Fourteen Ar
ticles" implied similar promises; and
finally surrendered. But how have we
lived up to them? We have complete
ly ignored them and British and
French Nationalist presses have stated
openly that they don't intend to give
Germany even a chance to recover.
Ruin Germany and you have ruined
Europe. These high-handed countries
may suffer with her because they are
so closely linked to her. Hence the
conference needs German representa-
tlon and cooperation. for SO much de-
pends upon her attitude in this issue.
Russia too, has been left out. A
nation that has suffered so much eco
nomically, socially, morally and finan-
cially for England, France and in fact
all the Allies, deserves some little con-
slderat1on. She has been drained of
her last drop of blood, her last morsel
OF food, her last cent for us and yet
we stand by and criticise her corrupt
government and deplorable state. It
may be said that we could not consid-
er representative from a Bolsheviki
government, that could not and would
mot even pretend to meet it's vast liza
bll1t1es. But what are they for, these
vast liabilities? They were incurred
preparing for war that restored
france to her former superiority over
Germany, for war that would have
been lost but for the very preparation
of Russia. But she has been re-
garded merely as debtor and
not savior of France as she really
was. We could, at least have some
well informed lawyer take a stand as
an advocate of Russia in the confer
Hnce If we would not negotiate with
her.

the narrow course we have chosen we
seem to be no nearer solving the diff

LIMITATION OF ARMAMENTs

A subject of deep concern to US, be-
cause it so directly involves our prin-
ciples, and our future status, is the
question of the limitation of arma-
ments. 1t is a subject discussed by
people of every nation. It's vital i'm
les of monarchies and republics alike.
4. G.. Wells, the English author and
the best known writer in the world
mas been brought to America to re-
port the Washington Conference on
The limitation of ornaments; for it was
thought he could intensity interest in
this conference as no other writer
could.
The conference is being held in the
city of Washington. Washington was
originally planned by Major Pierre
Charles ELEPHANT, in imitation of Ver--
sallies. However, Washington of the
present time bears comparatively lit
lie, il any, resemblance to Versailles.
The only noticeable European charac-
%eristic is it's expanded Latin style.
Instead of the verticle uplIft of the
American city, with its buildings that
extend hundreds of feet upwards into
the air; it's buildings are large. mag
nif1cent, and spacious. Versailles was
at one time the most magnificent
court and city in Europe. It was un-
riva11ed and unequalled. It was the
envy of every monarch Of Europe.
empty, musty remains of the Versail-
les of old. 1t was here that the peace
was made in 1919, and here also that
the Versailles Conference was held.
1t will no doubt be said of the
Washington Conference, that it too has
been planned in imitation of the YER
sallies Conference; just as it has been
said that the city of Washington was
planned to initiate the city of Versail-
les. In any event, there is remark
able likeness between the two confer
ences, though there is none between
he cities. There seems to be the same
assumption that it is. possible for a
few leading powers. such as the Amer
leans. the French, the British. the Jap
anese. the Italians. with perhaps a
Spanish America. to settle the affairs
of the whole world peaceably. perm

However, here lies ne do~-c- +hr

have been totally disregarded in de-
termining these international issues,
While these countries, though fallen
powers. are two very important factors
in the outcome of the affairs OF not

BOLD SUNDAY BURGLARS
APPROPRIATE CLOTHING

One of the strangest %burglaries
which has come to the attention of
the authorities for some time was
committed during the afternoon or
early In the evening last Sunday
when the residence Of w. P. Hays
was entered and r%ansacked. Appar-
emily the one object in the young life
OF the burglar vas something to
wear f~orlabout all that excited his
cupidity was a miscellaneous assort-
ment of clothing belonging to Mr..
Hays.
The family had been spending the
day at the river and returned about
Z o'clock and began to prepare for
church. 1t was evident from the
way wearing apparel was scattered
about that someone had been rum
maging the premises. A hasty in
ventory revealed the fact that a suit
OF clothes. some collars. neckties,
ha~ndkerchiefs and shirts were miss
ing, together with a suitcase which
the thief had evidently used to carry
off the plumber.
1t was hardly overcoat time in the
estimation of the stranger. for he left
two Of these useful articles hanging
in plain view, and also disdained to
touch some small articles of ladies
jewelry. He also chose an old wicker
suitcase and passed up an expensive
leather handbag of smaller capacity.
Mr.. Hays is particularly grieved over
the loss Of two Masonic pins which
were attached to the stolen vest and
his son is broken hearted over the
fact that the burglar took his Boy
Scout knife. which was left lying in
plain sight. No clue to the guilty
parties has been found.

IOQUACIOUS JIMMIE

If the friends Of James NJ. Cox. late
Democratic candidate for president,
have any aspirations for the polit-
ical future of that loquacious gentle
man, they had better send him a
radio to come home and quit making
himself ridiculous in Europen cap
itals. Cox seems incapable of recoy-
ering from the Wilson mania for
American membership in the league
of nations. and his utterances in
Europe, which are cabled to the
United States. are making it some
what embarrassing for the Democratic
party which is doing all it can to
forget the league as a political issue.

Thirteen holes were put down with total depth in earth of 2l3 feet, inches, and in rock IA! feet inches the cost being Sl,227S9
 Trench Machinery.
 Types of machinery for trench ex- cavation were investigated. After a special trench bucket was secured the machine showed 1t ability to save its cost on this work, and on March 25 1t was voted to recommend the purchase of the machine at a cost of s9,27O and one-half cubic yard Page bucket at $720.
 Sewer Work.
 reconstruction work on the follow ing sewers was completed, but cost accounts have not been submitted: Brighton street, from Allen street to Roxbury Road; RoXbury Road, from Brighton street to Vincent avenue; Vincent avenue, from Roxbnry Road to Derby street; Oak street, from Vim cent avenue to Allen street; Derby street, from Vincent avenue to Allen street; Andrews street to brook storm sewer. Construction work on sys- tenn in Allen street, from Oak street to Lawlor street, Lawlor street from Allen street to LaSalle street, and in LaSalle street from Lawlor street to Clark street, has been carried on and is near completion. Detail plans nre being prepared for the second sec ton of the east side trunk sewer from East street to Stanley street; (2) the third section of the same sewer or collection system for Belvi- dere; (3) storm water system for the area east of the Berlin branch and south of Kelsey street; (D an exten- sion of the Myrtle street sewer to Jerome street and northerly, and (5) the extension of the 36-inch concrete sewer to the disposal plant.
 Due to the large amount of grad ing and surfacing work during the year 1t was necessary to construct an unusual number of catch basins.
 "The city map sheets covering the entire city were completed for the as- sessors and brought up to date by transfers. A number of corrections to parts where water information showed the original work to be in correct are being made and new de- velopments plotted on."

 Emgineer Report
 The report of the city engineer says "rhe following work has been carried on by the department during the year ending March Sl. To relieve tho city engineer of the detail work in connection with tho carrying out of work ordered. c. B, Caldwell was mado general superintendent,
 New plans were prepared for re- constructing the Andrews street bridge over the Willow Brook, and the construction carried out by the eity's forces. All the old broken slab was removed and n heavier slab. re- lnforced with steel beams, construct ed at cost of SS,3l7.20. A concrete slab bridge of the type used on Mon roe street was built to carry Corbin avenue over Willow Brook, emitting the concrete railing. The cose of this was sl.9S1.27.
 Bridge Repairs
 Examination of the concrete slab bridge at Rentsehler street showed the slab to be cracked. A center pier wall was built the entire length at a cost of s67o,92. to prevent a failure similar to the Old Andrews Bridge.
 At the end of the year the plank ing of the West Main street bridge was again in bad shape, and the rail- road company will soon replace both the under and tip planking. The plank bridges and railings have been kept in repair, but several are in need of replacing with permanent structures.
 Grading Work
 Extensive grading was undertaken to carry out the plan to furnish en- ployment to surplus labor. The lab orers were secured by requisition on the municipal employment office, and q large portion of each gang was changed weekly. On many of the streets, worked, the grades had been working had been done. All roadways were grades to sub grades, so that whenever the street is macadamized it will not be necessary to remove any of the broken stone surfacing placed to furnish firm travelled way. Grading was done on 36 streets, to- talling 40,S00 lineal feet or 7.7 miles, completing nearly all the streets where the work could be economical ly done with hand labor.
 Macadam Work
 ''To furnish travelled ways on the streets graded, efforts were made to use all materials available at the lowest cost. The base course on sev- eral streets was composed of hot mill slab from the Stanley Works rolling mill, on others the surplus rock from near trenches, and on others quarry chip stone. This sur facing was done on 27 streets, mostly part width, having a total length of 24,299 feet, or, 46 miles.
 Seven inch macadam for full width was laid on five street. On Aus tin, High and Linwood streets, con- crete gutters were constructed, the majority of the curbs being in place since, 1914, as the original orders for macadam had been approved by the common council at that time. Cobble gutters were constructed on Broad street to complete the work from Si- yer street, to Burritt street. Andrews street was macadamized from Green wood street to the Angle near Ken sington street.
 New Work Done
 "The only new work done was the completion of the mi-permanent

pavement on Church street at the Union Works. The old macadain was shaped by the city forces and b5b,4l square yards of inch asphalt sur face was placed by the Edward Balf Co,, of Hartford, A four foot con- crete mixer was purchased and used to mix cold patch materials for ma cadam streets, Several brands of binder were tried out during the sea son. Amiesite was used on some streets, particularly on the semi-per- manent pavements and at intersee- tions. The spring repairs to the pave ments were made with hot asphalt furnished by Robinson & Powers of Mcriden, and placed by city forces.
 Lights Placed
 The following lights were in place at the end of the year. March 3l: a6 new arcs at $75 per are per year; 3sa two hundred and fifty candle power incandescent lamps at s2s,75 per lamp per year; S65 eighty candle power incandescent lamps at $17.1l per lamp per year; clusters on Central

 Care Of Parks

A large number of trees were removed by grading, and for the con- struction of walks and buildings; also many poplar trees were taken out be- cause of damage to sewers and walks, by their roots. Arrangements should be made to set quantity of naples the coming season.
 'The park street lateral installa- ton was completed, except at Stanley street where the companies were re- building the pole line. Seven man. holes were enlarged on Main, Church and Commercial streets and one new manhole built on Church street. Ad- ditional aterals were put in for trunk line connections at Black Rock bridge and Elm street crossing, the pole line from the Corbin avenue sta- ton to Black Rock bridge having been completed. Studies have been prepared for enlarging the system on Court street and extending it to South High street, for a connection through Bigelow street, from Park street to Chestnut street. for q connection through Commercial street, from Main to Elm streets and for sub way on Lexington street, so that a pole line would be unnecessary when the companies remove from their back yard location.
 Sewer Construction
 Extensive construction was car ried on by city forces to furnish em ployment The total increase for the year was approximately # miles. Rights of way were secured for the east side trunk sewer inside the city limits by awards estimated by the board of compensation and assess ment Nearly all the layout followed streets mapped out by the various real estate developments. Outside the city, rights of way were secured by negotiations of the board of public works. Pipe was purchased from the City Coal and Wood Co.,, on quota tions submitted by seven concerns Work was begun January g, and at the end of the year 2,500 ineal feet of pipe had been laid.
