RIGHT MAN IN RIGHT FLAG.

New Britain appreciates the tribute paid Dr. T, F, Reeks yesterday when the Connecticut Public Health Asso. citation elected him its president al the annual meeting in New Haven.
 We don't know where the assoeia, ton would go 10 get better man. a more enthusiastic man, more eana. ble man. nr, Reeks is a worker, He is blessed with energy in a worthy cause and he will serve that cause with distinction. We feel confident.
 The present efficiency of the New Britain Health Department can be partly asefibed to Dr, Reeks' industry and 10 his restless spirit which strengthened him for the fight to raise standards here, He was instru- mental in obtaining laboratory equip. ment for the health department and in placing New Britain on . high standard health-wise. If he discharges his duties as president Of the Connee- ticnt Public Health Association as faithfully and AS loyally as he once served the city of E New Britain as Of health. the associa- ton will have cause 10 congratulate itself,

LEGISLATIVE APPOINTMENTS

If membership on legislative eom'
 mi,tees has any special value, New
 Britain cannot complain of illsireat-
 ment. Our representatives In the General Assembly have been appoint
 cd to important committees and no
 doubt. will wIeid considerable intin' enee during tho session.
 Senator Covert Is on the committee on roads, bridges and rivers. conn mittee Of paramount importance be- cause the ruralists are forever trying 10 have their roads and bridges mended or replaced. h return for courtesies, senatcr Covert is in n posi- ton 10 bring many members Of the legislature around 10 his way Of thinking. He is also chairman or the manufactures committee. Why there should be a special committee for manufactures is not clearly under stood. Ii savers strongly of the bloc system which controls Congress. Per- haps. after the manufacturers read Governor Templeton's message and re- alized that he leaned strongly toward the rustic population. which elected him. they decided that the manufac- lures committee should be brought of the shelf where it has lain for some time. Mir Covert is also mem- Der of the new committee on counties and county seats.
 Representative Christ is made chairman of the finance committee. This is known as strong commit tee. The appointment of MT. Christ as chairman is compliment to his judgment. He is new member of the house, and new members usually must accept crumbs instead of whole pieces of frosted cake.
 Representative Alling is member of the judiciary committee and as such he may have something to say about a successor to Judge George w. klett of New Britain police and city courts if the latter Is appointed United States District Attorney for Connecticut and resigns his place on the local bench. MT. Alling is Judge Klett's law partner and is assistant judge of the courts in this city He may be promoted and thus create vacancy in the assistant iudgship. He will be good man for ambitious republican lawyers to shine up to. His friendship might be worth having. Mir. filling is now on the | high seas en route to Bermuda. His friends hope that his sea voyage and visit to warmer chimes will improve his health.

THE CLAYTON CROSSING

The above editorial heading has been used so often in these columns that it might just as we'll have re- mained in type. It is used again in the hope that final satisfactory action on the elimination of that dangerous crossing may be obtained. The city was not officially represented at the last hearing where the means of do- ing away with this menace was dis cussed If the city had been repre- sented officially quite possibly the New Haven road would not have been led to believe that its plan, differing entirely from the arrangement sought by this city. might meet with approval. The Herald called attention to the fact that this new plan was one which had been proposed long ago and not adopted. There must have been reason for this. The plan is the rail- roads plan. The interest of the rail- road is not always the interest of the people. In this age of suspicion one is apt to look for the joker in proposal.
 The mayor has decided that the city should be represented at the hearing on this matter January 26. He calls for people interested to go to Hartford and oppose the plan. It is of prime importance that the mayor himself, or his duly authorized agent, be present to represent the city. The mayor has been active in seeking to have that crossing eliminated. His absence from the last hearing because, as he stated, the city is not concerned in the lay out as Commissioner Bennett would require the best and safest, was un- fortunate.
 As frequently stated in these columns the dangerous Clayton cross- ing will not be eliminated until 1t is actually eliminated. With decision by the utilities commission to do away with it this city should not fail to be | active at every hearing where the | matter may be discussed. Finish what | we start ]

A FAILING MEMORY

Is the Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge slipping?
 During the debate in the senate last Saturday on the proposed withdrawal of all American troops from Germany, the sage of Nahant was among those who expressed their opinions. Mir. Lodge indulged in circumlocution to some extent and then declared:
 q have favored for a long time the withdrawal of the troops. The sub- ject was discussed here many months ago and I do not recall whether the senate passed resolution favoring the withdrawal of the troops or not"
 Henry Cabot Lodge forgetting! Enough to make the Brahmins of Bos- ton shudder.
 It is MT. Lodges business to remem- ber not forget.

 from Germany Possibly 1t wss not
 immediately after the Senate almost
 unanimously suggested thai he do SO,
 Possibly he had te wait uatil he found
 oul how that suggestion was received
 hy the nation. We'll, he found out,
 Almost egeryeRe is glad, Possibly, toe,
 that decision might not have been
 made until the President had pie tured 10 himself the awful outeEy
 that would have been raised if even one American soldier had 3 nose bleed after the French had advanced Into the Rahr hasin, Possibly he imagined he heard the words of some enemy who, in case of such nose, bleed, would have cried out that the Presidents delay had caused more American blood 10 be shed far across the seas,
 Inaueslienah il was a wise move 10 recall the troops But the point is that the delay in making our posi-. ton officially knaWn has taken from that move the sharp edge of its signifi. eanee. Long ago the President knew that if America remained merely re- eePtlse 10 suggestion, and did nothing, l France would invade the Ruhr. Only | the most optimistic believed any set- tlement Of the separations problem | would como through agreement he- ! tween England and France. The ad- ministration has not made either Eng. land or France feel. any more than 1t has made the people Of the country feel, that il would De apt 10 take any decisive step. England is surprised" that such action has now been taken. France regrets" it It was quite un- expected coming from the President. He did not seem 10 be that kind Of man. But as long as he has done this thing. practically under compul. sion. France will go ahead with her plan. which plan. incidentally. would not have been carried out in all prob- ability If. long ago. this country's President had authorized the firm statement by the State Department to France that we would do the very thing we have now done-withdraw Inc troops-if France advanced into the Ruhr.

THE PREPARATIONS STAND

People expect church associations
 to take their stand against war. Pro- nouncements have come from such organizations in the past and the word of peace has been preached from pulpits. But usually there has been complaint that such announcements have been too vague and general in their character; that there is suspi- cion that those preaching peace do not fully understand the ramifications of the questions discussed.
 It is good, therefore. to read the statement of the Connecticut Fedora ton of Churches which lays down a definite platform which might be ap- piled to the present world crisis. AL though based primarily upon the needs of humanity" the entire scale of human interests" is duly con- sidered. The Federation comments the participation by the United States in the permanent court of international justice and the informal cooperation the United States is now giving to the league of nations along the lines of, humanitarian interests. But it goes further than this and urges 'the im- portance of some properly constituted association as an instrument of in- ternational understanding and co-op- eration," and declares: We should welcome conference of nations call ed by our President to consider ways and means of reconstruction in sadly disordered world"
 The final passage is reminiscent of the Borah amendment which was withdrawn by the Idaho Senator when he received the assurance that the administration was active in its plans to give aid in the European situation. If France goes ahead with her dras- tic plans it will be seen how little those administration plans accom- plished. Many will regret the failure to press the Borah amendment call ing for the conference. Although France may pay little attention to in- formation as to the opposition of this country to her entrance into the | Ruhr, gained in secret, she would hesi- tate to disregard a call to confer ence issued by the United States.
 The action of the Federation places it on record in somewhat more | such circumstances.

 by declining to remove the menace of
 his army from the rear of the entente forces on the Macedonian front. When the allies occupied part of Athens to enforce demand for a surrender of ten batteries of Greek artillery to compensate for the surrender of Greek guns to the Central Powers, fighting ensued and there were about 200 casualties. The king surrendered the batteries. Meanwhile, because of the conduct of Constantine, Venizelos had established a provisional govern ment at Saloniki and organized an army, declared war on some of the allies of the Central Powers and was constantly gaining accessions from the former adherents of Constantine, whose followers steadily were leaving him. The entente powers laid an em- bargo on imports to Greece as a re- suit of which the Greeks suffered se- we're deprivations before the king was forced to abdicate.

George I was assassinated. He was born on August 3, 1868, was educated by German tutors and received mili- tary instruction at German army maneuvers.
 Was War Hero.
 After having been once dismissed as commander of the Greek army iu 1909, because of popular clamor against him, Constantine then crown prince, became national hero in the Balkan war of 1912, by leading Greek army to the capture of Salon iki from the Turks, as a result of which he was accorded the popular title of 'The Liberator.'
 Prince George, the eldest son of Constantine, also pro-German, who was excluded from succession by the allied terms which compelled his fathers abdication in 1917, accom- panied the royal party to Asia Minor in 1921 and was a member of the staff of the Greek commander, Gen eral Popoulas. George was born July 19. 1890 and married Princess Eliza. beth of Rumania in the spring ot 1921.

ing to the front at one period of the campaign.
 Last fall came the disaster of the Greek forces in Asia Minor speedily followed by the revolution in Greece which again swept Constantine off the throne. He abdicated and retired to Italy, and has been making his home recently at Palermo.
 Eight years or more have elapsed since Constantine I first ascended the throne of Greece; for three of these he was an exile in Switzerland, hav- ing been forced to abdicate by the allies owing to his pro German attitude during the war. Upon the death of his successor. his son Alexander due to the bite of pet monkey, in October 1920, Constantine returned to Athens amid great enthusiasm of the Greek people a plebiscite having determined in fav- or of his restoration to power.
 Two years later Constantine was again an exile, having fled to safer shores after the Greek debacle of Sep tember. 1922. His eldest son, Prince George, succeeded to the throne.
 Constantine had pursued an ag-

gressive course following his second coronation, striving to increase the territory of Greece and win popular favor by successful military opera tions. The strategy of the Turkish nationalists, however, and the al Ileged treachery of several high officials of the Greek government brought down on the Hellense, one of the most disastrous military routes in their history, and Constantine abdicated and fled to Italy with his family when the revolutionary party announced that it was forming q new govern ment.
 Turks Begin Opposition
 The treaty of Sevres, by the sign ing of which peace was da. 'ared be- tween the Allies and Turkey, gave the Greeks control of Smyrna and the greater part of Thrace which, for centuries, had been Turkish territory. The Turkish nationalists, led by Mus tapha Renal Pasha, in revolt against the Constantinople government, op- posed the provisions of the treaty awarding those regions to Greece and, as a result, in the spring of 1921 the question of revising the document was discussed at an allied conference :n London attended by representatives Of the peoples involved. Despite Greek protests, the treaty was modified and this, together with reports of Turkish atrocities against Greek colonies in Asia Minor, led to war between the forces of Constantine and Mustapha Kemal.
 King Takes Field
 Constantine, after seevral Greek successes, took the field against the Turks in Anatolia in July, 1921, with the hope, it was thought, of quieting factional strife at home and further his popularity The capture of Eski-shehr an important railway junction, from the Turks shortly after the kings arrival at the front, was the signal for wild dem- onstrations hl Athens, the crowds through the streets and ac- Constantine and the Greek nation. The Turks, outnumbered. were driven back toward Angora, the capital. During the fight ing, Constantine was stricken with in- testinal trouble at Eski-Shehr and at one time remained unconscious for 20 minutes, doctors being summoned from Athens to save his life.
 Was Germany's Friend
 Constantines devotion to the cause of Germany and the Central Powers was generally attributed to the in- fuence of his wife, Sophia. Hohen- zollern princess and sister of Emperor | of Germany. Criticism of him was aroused by his republication | of the treaty between Greece and Ser bia pledging the support of either power if the other were attacked by | Bulgaria. Constantine asserted that Greece was not bound to carry out l her part of the pledge because Ser bia was attacked, not only by Bull garia but by Austria and Germany | and that if Greece had interposed, | the would have suffered the fate of
