No Official Comment

. DUESSELDORF, Jan. 12.-French
general headquarters, which has
practically been transferred here
temporarily while the Ruhr occupa-
ton is going on, declines to comment
officially upon the departure of the
Americans from Coblenz, of which
official information was issued to-
day. But the officers and superior
subaltarns, speaking as civilians,
make no pretense of. hiding their
chagrin. They feel especially per-
turbed that the departure of the
Americans should have been an
nounced incident with the occupa-
ton of Essen by the French.
The news of the occupation is fea-
tured in all the German newspapers
in this region on the front pages
with three column headlines,
"French Enter Essen" in black type,
offset by headings in the same type
on the opposite side of the page
reading, Americans Leave Coblenz.'

THE SAME LANGUAGE

People who know England from
personal contact with Englishmen
realize how ardently that nation
wishes for a thorough understanding
or union between this country and
that, 1t is natural for an Ameri-
can to feel that England needs us
more than we need England certainly
the fact is that there is greater dis
appointment there over our failure to
enter the League of Nations, for in
stance, than there is here over the
same thing.
Stanley Baldwin, chancellor of the
British exchequer, in expressing the
opinion that the world needs an
Anglo-American agreement, made the
unusual point that it is because Eng
lishmen and Americans speak the
same language the people do not UNI
derstand each other. Englishmen, at
least, according to him, feel that they
know America, and have nothing to
learn about 1t, simply because we
speak a common language. This is
not true, he declares. II is because Of
this mistake on the part of English
men that they do not study us and
learn our country something that is

SAVE THE HIGHWAYS

A notice published in The Herald OF
yesterday from the State Highway
Department asks all operators and
drivers of motor trucks in the state
to use Judgment in regard to the
loads carried by their trucks. They
are requested to operate only, during
the next month, loads which are
reasonable at this time of the year,
to reduce the load on any day when
roads conditions are unfavorable and
to operate only on days when the least
damage will result to the highways.
Unless this cooperation is obtained
the department may find it necessa nv
to reduce the maximum weight limit.
The wisdom of this notice is OBJ
vious and an observance of the proper
request will rebound to the advantage
of the same men who are careful now
in accordance with the request,
Thoughtlessness for the next month
or so, when highways are soft, would
make the roads bad all summer. en-
failing not only great expense to the
state for their repair, but also much
delay in transportation where there
are not funds to make the repairs
made necessary by abuse of the high
ways at this time. The request will be
observed by the unselfish because of
its propriety, and it will be needed by
the selfish, If they are wise, because
they would not run the risk of having
the maximum weight rules altered
and because they will realize that a
little care now will make travel bet
ter all through the months that are to
follow.

A SIGNIFICANT STAND

| There has cropped up in the gener-
| al assembly a rather satisfactory ten
dency to refuse to put more laws on
the books calculated to cry don't to
people OF the state. This is bit sur
prising, to say the least. especially
Just now when the attitude of people
in authority, official or private, seems
to be that the people need a lot of
regulating.
We are all against the idea of any
group of people taking the law into
their own hands, The legislature is
against it, of course. And yet it looks
as though no special law would be
passed to prevent people from doing
this. The legislators seem to take the
attitude that there are plenty of laws
on the books now to cover such Of
lenses
The legislature even will refuse
probably to make law prohibiting
public service corporations from
charging what they think proper
without a public hearing, and will
not disenfranchise a person for viola
ton of law which now carries with
it no such drastic penalty.
The ridiculous recently appeared in
the bill which provided a penalty for
any person who tethered an animal
in the highway on property not owned
or leased by him. The same attitude
of refusing to limit a persons liberty
and drawing chalk line upon which
he must walk if he would keep within
the law was shown in the rejection
of this bill.
Slowly but surely the thinkers of
this country are beginning to realize
that freedom will not last forever if,
little by little, laws are written into
the statute books which have so many
"don't's'' that person must devote
a great portion of his time to study
of the latest laws of the Legislature
If the day ever comes when civiliza-
ton means the production of so many
laws against liberty in small things
that it resembles a SPIDERS web of
"don'ts", one will be inclined to be-
lieve Ghandi, the popular leader in
India, was right when he blamed
civilization for the evils of the world.

CUSTODY OF Child
DECIDED BY court
Continued from First page)

brought up-one being now in the
School for Boys and the other having
gone to parts unknown; it was shown
that he once horsewhipped the other
girl and was arrested for. it. His con-
tention now that he is solicitous that
this daughter, Rose, be brought UP as
Roman Catholic. We do not fail to
recognize the rights which a father
has in this regard, but we are salts
field that in the present case the
claim is not put forward in good faith.
1t does not appear that he is him
self Roman Catholic or that he ever
attends church. The only church
which Is shown to have beeen attend
ed is the one where Rose now goes.
We believe this claim is put forward
by the father at this time in an at
tempt to influence the decision of this
case.
while we are satisfied that the
older daughter has comfortable If
humble home, it is also apparent that
the husband of this daughter can no
more than meet the needs of his
present family on the wages he now
earns at the factory. Not only so,
but there is a convincing evidence,
Notwithstanding the denials of this
sister that Rose was bitten and more
or less terrorized by her while she
lived with her, and was required to
care for the younger Children much
as a servant would be.
'The Improvement both mental and
physical which Rose has shown since
leaving her sister and the child's OBJ
vious fear of going back are per-
suasive facts. One conclusion on all
the evidence is reached without hest
tation when the present welfare and
the future of the child are consid-
cred. Such hesitation might arise if
we we're satisfied of the good faith
of either the father or the older sis
ter in the emphasis they now put on
the family ties or if either had won
the affection or confidence of the
child. The contrary clearly appears
from the evidence.
"The award of custody and con-
troll to the brother Michael, which
was made by the probate court of
Plainville is confirmed and judgment
may be entered accordingly.
