 William C. Gladstone. field secre- tary for the state of Connecticut, is sued the following statement follow ing the meeting:
 ,. Tn explaining the program of the Ex-Seryice Mems Anti-Bonus league, it is well to bear in mind the terms customarily employed by American World war veterans in speaking of themselves. The phrase used as a generic term is not 'ex-wage workers. 'eX-hired hands, ex-employees, or anything of the sort,
 EX-serNice men,. with emphasis upon the service. are the words em- ployed. The phrase did not come in- to being as result of a happy chance, because it is accurately de- scriptive. World war veterans were not hired. They were not enlisted on the basis of 8 wage. Nor were they contract employees. They were men when the call came they were proud and glad to render.
 Tn the history of every nation there are inspiring chapters that re- veal the patriotism, the manhood, the devotion to high ideals that charac- terize it's citizenry In the history of the United States. there is no chap ter more inspiring than the one that records the response to the nations call for service men.
 The young men who, In a few brief months. became World war veterans, represent the best there was in our national life. They are the ones to whom the nation has q right to look for continued patriotic en- deaVor during the whole period of their lives They should be the moral bone and sinew in our land for many years. They should be the ones to whom the public justly looks for leadership in public affairs and for guidance in all matters of high en- deavor. For these young men to compromise their future and repudi- ate their past by placing the service they rendered upon a wage basis con- stitutes s blow to the tradition of service Of which they became a part.
 The league holds that memory Of splendid service constitute the most precious possession of a nation and it is that possession that it is pledged to protect"

ANTI-BONUSLEAGUE
 ORGANIZED HERE
Capt. COnnorS Is Director and
 Lieut.. Chamberlain Secretary

Capt. John J. Connors was elected director and Lieut.. Rodman w. Cham berlain was elected secretary of the Ex-Seryicemen's Anti-Bonus league at its organization meeting last night and the motto of that organization, For the Disabled, Everything-For the Ablebodied, Nothing" was subscribed to.
 The body, of which the local group is q member is q national organi- zaGon. A discussion was held on the purposes Of the organization and 1t was decided to conduct d vigorous and intensive campaign of education as to the possibilities under bonus for able-bodied men.
 Ir discussing the proposed local ac- tivities of the Unit. MT. Connors said:
 In organizing New Britain Unit Of the EX-Service Mems Anti-Bonus league We have had the single pur- pose Of aiding in nationwide effort to arouse the public to the necessity of concentrating the resources of the government upon the aid of those of our fellow veterans who were dis ahled as a result of their services in the war. We have absolutely no poli- tical or other ends to serve, but shall exert every effort in our power to promote legislation that will provide the best of care for the real sufferers of the war
 The activity and assertiveness of an organized minority among veter- ans of the World war. who by their insistenee upon legislation providing for bonus for able -bodied veterans would endanger the greater claims of disabled veterans to the utmost aid from the government have impelled us to orga nize. We desire that the public of New Britain should be ful- " informed of the stupendous cost of a bonus for abic-bodicd veterans: of the great burden of taxation that it will inevitably mean; of the conse- Quent drag upon the nations indus trial life; and the continuance of a disturbed economic situation in the country. All of these are factors which certainly impair the revenue raising possibilities of the national treasury and it is obvious that when that condition obtains the facilities for taking the best care of disabled veterans are endangered.
 'sfhe activities of the New Britain Unit of the league will not, however be of merely negative character. or that of merely setting up counter agitation to that Of the bonus ad-

Earth's Crust Likened to

speculation as TO what might happen
TO New York with its towering sky.
scrapers and canon-like streets if an
earthquake of japanese severity should
hit it, was brought TO an end with the
statement of DR.. Charles A. Reeds. OF
the American Museum of Natural His
tory, that this city is 100000 years
away from such a disaster.
DIR. Reeds is observer in charge OF
the seismograph at the museum and
has made a life study of earth shocks
and their causes.
He declares that the entire eastern
section of the North American CONT
nent some 100000 years ago passed
through the same period of formation
now in progress in Japan.
The earth's crust beneath Manhat-
tan island is as thick and hard as the
outer crust of some of the persons
known TO the country at large, as
typical New Workers"
The earth's crust has bee slit in
various places from time to time and
these Sits are known as fault lines.
There are several OF these fault lines
along the northeastern coast of the
United States.
Some of them run along the beds of
the great eastern rivers. like the St.
Lawrence and the Hudson. but they
are old lines. so old in fact that time
has sealed them together almost as
tightly as if they did not exist.
Thus they have become known as
dead faults.
Talks i'm Millions.
Millions of years appear c; nothing
to DR.. Reeds.
He declares that the most recent
rock formations. discovered in the
northeastern states date back TO the
tertiary period of some 100000
years ago.
Most of the eastern rock belongs to
the triassic period. a matter of some
ten or twelve million years ago.
In other words, DR.. Reeds believes
that if thing is discovered to be TO-
100000 years old, it might just as
well be a couple of million years older
for all purposes of present day calcu-
lation.
In any event it has been something
like 10.000.000 years since there was
an upheaval beneath the surface of
the earth sufficient to cause any seri-
Gus alteration of the face of things
here in the East.

none has arisen from the sea, although

President Coolidge
Restores La Toilette Patronage.

President Coolidge has set himself
to the difficult tast of pacifying the La
Toilette and other elements hostile to
the administration, which held the
balance Of power in congress.
Upon the outcome OF his efforts de-
ponds to large extent the success OF
the legislative program he will pre-
sent to congress in December. And
on the success of this legislative pro-
gram depends his ability to present to
the country a record of achievement
which will entitle him to nomination
in 1924.
The strategy of the administration
in dealing with the complex and un-
favorable situation at the capital was
brought to light during the last few
days AS the first step in the concilia-
ton program, it is understood that Mr.
Coolidge has given assurance to La
Toilette followers that he will restore
their federal patronage rights in Wis
cCnsin
Early in the Harding administration
all federal patronage was taken away
from Senator La Toilette and the La
Toilette congressman and turned over
to Senator Lenroot to be used in con-
struction of a large political machine
to smash the La Toilette power. The
La Toilette men protested vigorously
but President Harding steadfaStly re-
fused to recognize their recommends
tions and the word of Senator Lenroot
was law in the distribution of federal
jobs in Wisconsin.

ell admitted directly and by implica-
ton that Percival would have made
great professor of poetry. His genius
was internal impulse-the gift OF the
gods. He was wanting in genius that
excels through a great capacity for
taking pains. Consequently, sad to
say. the natural gifts very largely
went to waste and, accordingly, per-
manentqy high place in American
literature was missed. What he might
have been if he had written much less
and. like Gray in his reported seven
wears work on the "Elegy", in which
he rejected stanzas Of marvellous
beauty, had perfected the product
written in a transport OF enthusiasm,
or. as Shakespeare says, a fine
frenzy! But he would not revise. he
would not polish.
In conclusion, let me say If by this
article. the getting up of which have
enioyed. l shall cause the name OF
James Percival to mean a bit more to
some of the people of my native state,

that, prompted by fine sentiment,
they give thought to the matter OF

State Political Trend
Indicates Liberal Domination.

The trend in Wisconsin politics, as
we see it, is toward neither Progress
sive nor Conservative. Astounding as
this statement is we believe that with
proper understanding and handling OF
the situation a candidate will appear
within the next twelve months to heaa
the middle-of-th e-road forces to vic
tory.
Two years ago there wasn't a
chance for anyone but the La Toilette
PrOgTessiyes and the Herald said so,
Ultimate results amply bore this con-
clusiOn out With the Progressives
in the saddle conditions have not i'm
proved In fact, if anything, they al e
worse Taxes are higher, having
doubled in five years. Paternalism
has increased, commissions have IN
creased, office holders have increased.
The people in general see one man in
twenty an office holder. They fail to
see the benefit.
Two years ago the Conservatives
played politics and nominated weak
ticket. Log-rolling prevailed at the
IA" conference. The ticket was
doomed to failure and perhaps de-
served it.
Now a new condition arises. Dis
trusting the .old dyed-in-thewOol
standpatter, the people will support a
liberal candidate who stands for COM
mon sense and reason in state gov
eminent, is democratic in principle
rather than socialistic and progress
sive without being too radical.
The foregoing description of Win
ner is, we will admit, composed OF
generalities. All candidates claim to
come under such a classification.
Nevertheless, with good sense at a
nominating convention we believe a
man can be selected who will fill the
requirements and who will find an
enormous lot of support.
