fore the world today.
 The narrow minded of this country who have given expression to the view let the European nations stew in their own blood" will be chagrined hat no longer will they te able to anticipate the pleasure of seeing such
 stew brought to the boiling point and some of the nations growing weaker, more poverty-stricken, more in need of aid under the whitening heat of such treatment. Those who can not or who refuse to see that happy and prosperous world will bring more happiness and prosperity to each nation of the world, will have to stand aside until their vision clears. Those who believe that American partieipa- ton on the committee which will aid stabilizing it's currency, will endanger our welfare and prosperity, will have iO llEiI SlAus OI oit over again. and those who believe a menace to us all will come when Americans aid in trying to ascertain where some of Germany's assets have gone, if any have been spirited out of that country, will have to learn that the United States is too great a land to be harmed because some of its citi- zens aid in investigating a possible scandal.
 Whether or not one believes there is any good in the League of Nations it is certain that this decision is not one to enter that organization nor to take a step in that direction. It is, however a great step in the direction of justifying the American's belief that happiness. peace and prosperity will come only when distrust, mean spirit, jealousy. strife and organism become less prominent in the charac- ter of men and nations,

GENERAL HAILER

Tomorrow New Britain will extend the hand of cordial welcome to Gen, Jozef Haller. commander of the Polish armies in the great war when he honors this city by coming here to show by his presence his appreciation for the splendid part played in the awful conflict not only by the United States but more intimately, by the men of the United States among whom are numbered thousands in whose veins flows the blood of Gen. Haller's native land.
 In greeting this great leader and il honoriug him all people Of New Brit ain join as greeting one who played a prominent part in the war the neces. sity for which is regretted by all, the outcome of which brought such glow ing triumph to those who participated in it's successful outcome, Far from emphasizing any differences of blood among the people or the city, Gen Haller's visit serves to remind us that we had a common cause in those days of tragedy and suffering as we have a common cause today-the holding up the strong arm of the land we love. A general great enough to lead wisely, inspiringly. is great enough to feel deep respect for the flag of the country the armies of which came 10 the relief Of those fighting for liberty from tyranny. This is the sentiment that will possess Gen. Hallcr as, recognizing what this country did in the war, he comes here to give expression to this sentiment, to honor especially the men Of his blood who fought there with him; to honor the memory of those who did not come back from that region of blood.
 The greeting Of Gen. Hallcr, an out standing hero of the war. will be pro- foundly sincere in the warmth of its respect

ZOSING UNDER WAY

The first meeting Of the necessarily large zoning committee appointed bl inc mayor was held last evening. There are a few facts that should be em. phasized at the very inception of thl, work which is of such vital interest to every resident Of this city whether each is aware Of it or not. Certainl, those present last evening showed by their attitude that they were ready tc take it up earnestly, possessed Of a practical vision Of what it might mean 10 New Britain as the years pass.
 The work of forming practical plan will take all of the year or more that remains before it may be sub- mitted 10 the legislature. The uorl, will fall chiefly upon the shoulders Of men who are already employees of the people, namely the appraisa enginer Thomas l.inder: the city en- gineer. Joseph D Williams; the cor poration counsel j. H. Kirkham. and the mayor. The recording work, most Of if. win be done in city hall. with various subcommittee suggested by tho main subcommittee or the geHer- al committee, such subcommittee Of eleven yet to be appointed The inter- ests of every business and profession, as well as the interests of every in diyidual, will have a representative on fhe main subcommittee. as all inter ests that will be affected are repre- scented on the large, general commit tee to which all decisions of the sari- ous smaller committees will be sub mitted before action is taken.
 The point 10 be emphasized at this time is that this Is movement con- ceived and suggested under the in- spiration oniy of a keen desire 10 aid ih providing for the growth Of this city along the lines that will bring the best possible results to the city and its people. Those who are re- sponsibie for bringing the zoning idea 10 the point f has reached after a year or more discussion Of it. have no axe to grind in any sense or the word. It is movement that every individual in the city may back with no fear that in it's inception. someone or some  group were trying to put something over on somebody" unless the desire to see the New Britain of 1850 the most attractive and efficient city seri- ous thought and loyalty can make f. is such an attempt It may be said with authority that so free is this idea from politics that no uie has taken the trouble to consider the mat ter Of politics in examining tho per sonnei of the erst large committee

WOMEN
 GET FEDERAL CARE
Eligible tO Treatment at the Yari-
 OuS Soldiers Homes

San Francisco, Dec. t2.--American ex-service women who need medical attention. whether for disability in. cured in the war or for illness or in- jury suffered since, may receive such treatment from the government, it has been announced here by Endora NJ. Clover, administrator of disabled service women for the American Momen's Overseas League.
 The league, Miss Clover explained. has received this assurance from the war department It means that all women who have been or may be en- listed under such status as army nurse. navy nurse, ycomanette or marinette will be eligible. on produc- ing an honorable discharge and a proper certificate of disability, to care and maintenance in a government hospital or home. The duration of the disability. or the time and man. ner in which it has been inflicted, will make no difference. according to the announcement Such permanent dis abilities as old age will entitle wom- an to care for the rest of her life, but entry into a government institu- ton will entail no obligation to re- main, a patient being as welcome to enter for an operation or a brief ill., ness. The government will pay the cost of transportation to eligible ap- plicants.
 In view of the com paratively few women claiming such attention at this time. the national soldiers home at Danville. H., has been designated for a.l patients Of the immediate fu- ture. There two brick buildings have been set aside for the exclusive use Of Inc women. There also is hos pital with more than 200 beds.
 It is estimated that there arc ap- proximately 52,00o women eligible for this benefit should they need it.
 Previously these women had been held entitled only to the relief afford ed them by the Veterans bureau. which required a 10 per cent dis ability attributed directly to service for the army or navy.
 The new ruling places ex-seryice women on an equal footing with eK- service men.
 Applicants are advised to apply to General George H. Wood, of the na- tionai home for disabled volunteer soldiers at Dayton. Ohio. Applica- ton blanks are available at the na- tions1 homes in Milwaukee. Wis. Au- giIsta, Me. Leavenworth. Kan, Los Angeles. Marion, Ind. Danville, ILL, Johnston City. Tenn. and Hot Springs. So.

 Consequently many of the storage warehouses will De able to buy in large quantities Of furniture at a low price. which will compensate them for the low charges they were forced to accept before the new regulations were put into force.

BONUS REPUTATION
SCORED BY MACNIDER
Says Coolidge Attitude Has
Aroused Disfavor Through
out Iowa.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DES MONIES, Iowa, December 16.--
Hanford MacNider Of Mason City
the American Legion. in a letter to
Representative William Z. Green of
Iowa, chairman of the House commit
tee on ways and means, made public
yesterday, took the republican party
to task for its "repudiation" of it's
pledge of adjusted compensation for
veterans of the world war and
warned that there has been an i'm
mediate, strong and most unfavor-
able reaction in Iowa" TO President
Coolidge's attitude on the bonus as
revealed in his message to Congress
During President Harding'S ad-
miniStration there had been an aC-
cepted understanding of his position
in asking delay, but this statement
of President Coolidge has created a
great wave of resentment which does
not auger well for its acceptance
the letter said.
How the Republican party, in view
of it's commitment by President Hard
ing on the eve of his election, or the
statements of those who represent US
in Congress, can sanction such re-
traction is more than the men who
served with the colors can under
stand
I'VE are not so much interested in
what form the compensation takes
but we are in the fact that there be
recognition. A whole generation of
Americans cannot be left with the
feeling that they have been repud-
lated

DISCOVER BODIES
OF WOMEN IN FIRE
Officials Believe Mother and
Daughter Lured to Farm
and Attacked.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associate Press.
JEFFERSON. Ga, December IL
Sheriff Collier and his deputies today
continued their investigation into the
finding Of two bodies. believed to be
those of Mrs. Mag Simons and her
fifteen-year- old daughter in the ruins
of an abandoned farmhouse near
Clarksboro. yesterday morning.
The authorities have established
that the woman and her daughter
left their home here Saturday night
to go to Athens in response to a
purported invitation from relatives
The invitation did not come from
the relatives. Sheriff Collier said he
had learned, and with all indications
pointing TO the women having been
enticed from the home and slain, his
investigation conferred about the
slayer.
The husband of Mrs. Simons has
identified the body as that of his
wife. He told Sheriff Collier that
he took his wife and daughter to
the station Saturday night to board
a train for Athens.
The sheriff said his trail Of the
slayer led definitely from Athens.
The husband and father brought them
to the station and put them aboard
a train after note had been re-
ceived supposedly from Mrs. Simons'
mother asking her to come to Athens
The conductor told the sheriff that
he remembered having brought them
TO Athens.
At Athens the sheriffs investiga-
tion discloses, they were met by a
man who took them about four miles
out in the country, where they were
slain and their bodies placed in the
shack, to be burned almost beyond
recognition. The sheriff said he be-
lieved robbery figured in the motive,
as the woman drew a large amount
of money from the bank before leav-
ing Jefferson.
