DEFIANT GERMANY

lt was hoped that there might he some indication in Chancellor Cuno's speech before the Reichstag that Ger many's official attitude would be less that of injured innocence, but there was no such hint in his statement that no advances would come from his country while the French occupied the Ruhr although there Is some Justification for the interpretation of his address that his country Is ready to accept mediation, This readiness, however, is predicated on the recogni- ton of Germany as an equal govern ment, His appeal to tho powers that signed the Versailles treaty, in his suggestion of mediation by another Power" indicates clearly that he had the United States in mind as the pos sible mediator.
 There will be no mediation by the United States if such action by us in- wolves in any way suggestion that Frances actions In the Ruhr should be condemned. As long as Germany continues the stand of nation inn posed upon, so long will the feeling against her continue to grow. This country quite properly withdrew its troops from the occupied territory. There was no justification for keeping our men there where developments over which VIC had no control were possible to the personal injury, per haps, of Americans. But this was in no sense a reprimand directed at France. The action Germany suggests would certainly be construed as an unfriendly act Anxious as the people of this country as distinguished from the administration, are to help in the situation, they are unwilling to an- tagonize France. A defiant Germany is Germany headed in the wrong di- rection. Again it is evident that, even now, she does not realize she was conquered in the war.

nOYS OF TO-DAY

The story published Monday of the Boys Court would have been inter- osting twenty-five years ago as It Is interesting today, There was nothing mentioned that would not have been characteristic Of tho boys Of yester- day In many ways. boys will be boys" forever; boys were always boys and boys always will be boys,
 But there is decided difference be- tween the boys of today and the boys of quarter of . century ago. The difference comes from the things that arc in the mnds--and pockets. It Is this difference that, considered scri- ously, appeals the man of today when he is anxious to know just how to treat his own boy,
 II is safe to say that the small son knows more about automobiles. air. planes, radio. than the father. The boys fund of information is far more extensive and perhaps more thorough than the mans on the matters in which the boy is interested. If the boy has not given up asking questions of his father, disgusted by that fla thcr's ignorance Of the most fascnat- ing subjects, he is always at it. 10 the great embarrassment of the father. What to do about it? Certainly the father cannot take time from his bus mess to look tip the matters that in- terest his son, and yet he realizes that thorough companionship cannot be established with that son unless he is able to talk understandingly on those matters.
 Quite possibly this would be a good time for the fathers of the country to remember the great truth that there is no fiattery so appreciated as asking another's opinion on matter, or asking information from another. In no way can father become quite so popular with his son as by seeking that sons superior wisdom on some matter in which the son is especially interested. The child may not always be father to the man, but the wise father can make quite a man of his son if he seeks to make that son feel that, in certain matters at least, the son is the fathers guide, philosopher and friend" When such a relation ship is established the son is quite willing, as a rule, to allow the father to assume this position in regard to other, more important matters.

FRENCH EXPANSION
 POLICY

For that matter, French and Ger man "big business" show signs of get ting closer together than they were.
 There was quite awhile that Ger many, in business way, was so much more friendly with the English than the French as to upset the latter. Was the Ruhr enterprise intended, among other things, as a hint to the Germans that they'd got to tie up with France, whether they liked it or not? And are the Germans beginning to do it. like cold -blooded business men who don't let sentimental considerations weigh with them for long against hard facts?a
 Indications point that way. Also all accounts agree that France is unlikely to recognize the revolu. tionary government of Russia soon with which, by the way, England isn't as friendly as she was, French infiu. ence?
 At any rate, it's certain that France is doing everything she knows how tc strengthen herself, politically and commercially throughout continenta Europe, as fast as she can. It's equally certain that Englanc doesn't like the French policy bit.
New Britain herald., 1923-03-07
MSAY IT. IN FIVE MINTTES,,

Statements made to the Herald in- dicate that officials of The Southern New England Telephone company do not intend to limit the duration of conversations on party lines in Con- necticut. A drive against thoughtless subscribers who monopolize party lines is being made in Massachusetts where the slogan Say it in five min- utes" has been adopted.
 Nearly everyone whose home is con- nected by a party line has experienced the annoyance caused by wire hogs who Ego visiting by telephone, mak- ing it impossible for other subscribers on the line to use it except in cases of emergency.
 You pick up the receiver, put it to your ear and learn that the waist was trimmed with chantilly lace.' Five minutes later you try again and learn that the skirt was higher on one side than on the other" If you are a true philosopher, you sit down and wait patiently and then hear that ''the bouquet she carried was bee-u- ti-ful but she held it too low"
 Then you retire to an easy chair, read few pages of Paradise Lost, ' try once more to get Central only to be informed that II hear he gets only SIS q week and can't understand how they're going to get along on that"
 If you cough or otherwise indicate that you would like to use the wire you hear someone say in tones that would freeze the heart of polar bear: Goodness, gracious, someone is always putting in. I'll bet it's that cross-eyed man who lives on the next street" The fact that you are not cross s-eyed does not make amends for your wounded feelings.
 The habit of monopoizing the wire is not peculiar to any sex. The male is quite as guilty as the female. You may learn how to take an engine down, where the best brooks for trout fishing can be found, who will win the pennant and why, and gather up many other odd bits of informa- tion when the men of the family pay telephone visit. Also you will be well posted on the good dancing part hers at last nights party when the young folks get chatting.
 The wire hog is pest that should be exterminated and we would not be surprised if some original leg islator proposed remedy by means of an amendment to the constitution. Certainly the subject is as equal in inn portance as some of the questions which are debated at Washington.
 Telephone company officials in Con- necticut should take leaf from the book of their contemporaries in Massachusetts and launch campaign in the Nutmeg State" to Say it in five minutes They will thereby earn and receive the blessing of thousands eg subscribers wbo sgard the tele-
