are injurious, what proportion of our
mental habits are? Probably the be-
lief with least foundation in common
sense is the belief in what we call
Socialism. Such a beIiefsis the waste
pile Of scientific investigation and
intelligent thought; to accept it is
fairly comparable with rejecting the
pure gold at a smelter and accepting
the Stag pile. Yet 1t is probable that
the most universal human habit is
acceptance in some form of Socialism.

my acquaintances have seemed fair
ly sensible. but after I have talked
with them time, find they have the
germ of folly disease lurking some
where in their minds. and its presence
is sufficiently marked to render their
thinking somewhat ineffective. Find,
IL you can, man who does not be-
lieve in some degree in help from a
source outside of himself II it isn't
the king he believes too much in, 1t
is his mind. And IL 1t isn't his mind,
it is the state, or the nation, or con-

to recognize the simple truth that he
alone must determine his present and
his future, and that there Is no other
help; that he must oppose many of
his associates as he does microbes or
diseases.

as usual, but the effect of the war is shown on their faces and the bodies especially the boys. They are under nourished, said MT. Bush. This is ac- counted for by the lack of milk. It's price is still very high, and at one time was almost unobtainable.
 MT. Bush said that coal is moving very slowly. He visited some of the mines and saw millions of tons of the fuel heaped up on the ground, be- cause there is Go place to put it, as the Germans refuse to run the rail- roads.
 Believes France Regrets Move
 "I think the French are doing 'wrong," he said. '"They would have been better off with the per cent they were supposed to get. At the present time they are receiving only about 5o,0oo tons month and 1t is so high that the French manufac- turers won't buy it. as they can get it much cheaper from England" MT. Bush expressed the opinion that France would do different if she had it to do over again.
 Regarding the currency, he told of an amusing experience in German bank, where the president wanted him to start a campaign to get 50 cents from every American to help Ger many. At the present value of United States money this so cents from every American would put Germany on her feet again.
 Mr. Bush left New Britain January ? and made flying trip through Bull yaria, Austria and Switzerland. He came home by way of England, the entire trip taking him 62 days.
 Bought Suit for S4
 While in Germany he bought a spring suit for the equivalent of s4 in United States money, a pair of shoes or se and an ivory headed umbrella Or 75 cents.
 He said that he saw only about 30 .merican soldiers during his entire rip.
 The smallest bit of currency that is worth anything at all in Germany is 70 marks. MT. Bush is of the opinion | hat if Germany gets on her feet gain she will recall all the paper | money issued at the present time and | ut out new issue.
 Mir. Bush is employed as builder " the Carlson X Torell company of his city and his trip was in connec- ion with the timber question.
 He advised all young men interest q in architecture to visit Germany. S he said there one finds the finest one could wish to see.

The Army Needs Men, Is Colonel
 Nichols Campaign Slogan

Colonel ode c. Nichols of the U. s. Army was in New Britain today in the interest of recruiting for the army.
 Colonel Nichols has been in the service since 1898. at which time he was list lieutenant and ordnance offi- cer In Rooscvelt's Rough Riders and has participated in all campaigns since that time, having served in the spanish American War, Philippine In- surrection, Mexican Border. in Alas ka and Siberia besides having been at nineteen military parts within the United States.
 His mission here Is to stimulate re- crNting for the army
 When seen today on the subject he said; My position and my job in the State of Connecticut places me in the position of the physician with fami- ly Of eight in dead town in Texas some years ago, who announced that he was going to transplant himself to San Antonio, A friend asked Well doctor, do you think you can make money in San Antonio?" sMake money in San Antonio, why. I've got to make money!" so that is the sit. patton that confronts me. I've got to get recruits.
 Tt Is a regrcttable fact that Conn., octicut is tail ender' in the matter of recruits for the army and I have been sent here to bring the state out of the cellar. This will be done provid- cd we can get the aid of the press and the people, The press, so far, to the man has cooperated. What Il mean by cooperation is not passive cooperation but real. direct, two- listed cooperation which reaches the people and I am sure the people in- dividually will cooperate quite as completely once they realize the nec- essity for it. It is hoped that the people will realize this necessity when say that the army has been cut by recent legislation to the very mini- mum; then, since that time. and due to natural causes, it has lost thous- ands of its personnel until now it is thousands of men short. This is prac- tically the case throughout all branches.
 The army IS the peoples army-it is your army and that word your means every man, woman and child in the United States who owns from one to one hundred million dollars. If ever an army is needed it is you who will need it.
 How easy it would be if each citi- zen who reads this would within the week speak to some young man and send him to our recruiting office. How little that is to do, but how great would be the actual physical results
