"EyPEDIENCY'S" VICTIM

Sincerely we believe that the Re- publican party in 1920 sought to take advantage of the unpopularity of cer- tain portions of the proposed League of Nations covenant, and at the same time to refrain from anagonizing the element of the republican party which recognized the duty of this country to take its place as an enemy of war

DISABLED VETERANS.

There is one vast body of men of whom we can not think without deer ! sympathy, without sincere desire to
 make life as pleasant for them as
 possible not in return for what they have done for us; not in recognition of the sacrifices they have made, for
 we never can make adequate return
 to them; we can never recognize
 sufficiently those sacrifices. But we
 think of them and are eager to do
 anything we can for them merely as
 an indication of our longing to do
 more-to have them understand in
 some measure our appreciation of
 what they have lost-for us.
 This body of men is composed of
 the disabled veterans of the great
 war. People may differ as to the
 propriety of a bonus for ex-service
 men; people may say that the country
 can not stand paying such bonus.
 People may attribute base motives to those who seek it, quite as others may believe that such bonus would be but the paying of d just debt. But there can no question arise about the disabled of the war. There can be no adverse criticism of any attempt made in their interest. Yesterday they were strong, healthy young men, ambitious, beginning life which held great possibilities. Today they are sufferers, some of them weak in body, in pain; some of them suffering men tally, All, each last man of them, has lost much that life holds for most of us. We stand appalled, be- fore the debt we owe them.
 It is planned to establish camp for such disabled veterans this year at Mantle. A beginning was made 1 last year and the results showed | the physical improvement in the l men--the fine inspiration of the idea. Some s40,000 Is needed from Hart l iord. Litchfield, Holland and Wind l nam counties. New Britain is asked | Q do her share. The mere asking should be sufficient. It is with sense of pleasure in having this op- that this newspaper brings he matter before its readers, not with feeling Of hesitancy about the donating Of more money for another worthy cause, but ather with feeling that it is doing a service in publishing in- as to this means whereby re all may say. in giving to this : ause: Tt is little thing we do for l ou when compared to what you have one for us but if represents the ruth that we can never forget you" 1

THE LIeuaR KILLING,

The rules ef the Treasury Depart
 meRt iusl promulgated haFa heer
 pronounced proper by Wayne B
 Wheeler the pFomiueR, pFohihliioI
 leader r Is said that ths rules iol
 low strictly the recent ruling Of lhs
 supreme court which prohibits aRs
 vessel, American or iorrlgn, carrying
 liquor within eur lfTTliQrial waters
 lt is said that there Is nc way foI
 foreign vessels ia eamply naW, with
 ihe laws Of laeiF own countries, some
 Of which require liquoT 10 be carried for crews, without breaking the law of this country
 A careful study of iheae rules, however daes disclose s way, It is Hei nice way and foreign countries may not care 10 adopt ii They may not be willing 10 call a spade any ihIng but a spade, But II they wish to do so they may alter their owA laws in such q way that the liquor required 10 be carried may still be carried-aHlY they must call il
 medicinal liquor" instead Of bev. craze llquer. as it actually Is,
 Thus conclusion is reached from reading See, II. which says. after de- elaFing that the medical officer Of The Public Health Service 10 whom an application for liquor is made will decide what amount Is necessary for medicinal purposes! "Proyided. that If it be shown that such vessel is. or during it's next voyage Will be. re- quired by the laws Of n foreign eoun. try 10 carry medicinal liquor in any specified kind and amount. the eer- tificate of medicinal need will be made 10 cover such kind and not less than such amount Of liquor"
 In other words the Treasury depart ment knows some foreign countries require. by law. the carrying of liquor on board, Even under this new rul- ing Of the treasury Department all vessels clearing American ports arc al- owed 10 carry enough medicinal" l iquor to comply with the laws of my foreign country they may visit ! turing the voyage. Thus the ruling | akes the paradoxical stand that . iquor becomes medicinal" if 1t is to be carried by the laws of iome foreign countries. The simple way out would be for such non- countries to raise the init" on the amount required to be .arried. The treasury Department ulng will then allow them to carry uch liquor.
 But this. of course. is not straight onward business. The only way to scape the conflict with foreign na- ions decently is to have Congress ake dignified action in regard to oreign ships

PRIEST IS BLAMED FOR SUBSTITUTION
French Church Statue Scandal
 Attracts Attention

Paris, June i,-The antique dealers
 involved in the alleged substitution Of
 modern copy for the genuine 18th
 century statue of The Virgin and the Child in the Church Of at, sauvsur' 1 tainbleau, now are endeayeFing 10 l throw the blame on the village priest,
 and the priest, Ahbe Henri Rotte, ae,
 eorjing to The Matin, has come for,
 ward with the admission that he sues eumbed 10 the temptation Of selling the statue for ab00 francs,
 Prooeeda For Church
 He is alleged to have said he dis
 posed Of the statue 10 aid in church
 welfare work, hoping the manufae-
 turea substitute would not be diseov-
 cred by his country parlshloners.
 The Matin ranFoduees written re-
 pert from the Due de Trevise giving an account of the abbes statement, in which the abbe tells of his desire 10 build up his struggling church. he declaring that now he must make known the cruel truth" The priest. according 10 the statement said he long had resisted the blandishments of art dealers who sought 10 secure the original statue.
 But little by little" the statement quotes him as having said, T found myself Involved without realizing it. The dealers. one Of whom is unknown tn mo. urged me strongly l cannot tell how much regret my error,
 But let no one see in 1t exactly a but rather lack Of iudg- ment."
 Sold Later for ii,000 Francs.
 The dealers concerned, according to The Mntin. said they had concealed the whole truth of the transaction out of pity for the priest. but now that he had spoken they would make , known their side of the case. M. Nelun, an antiquary, who handled the affair. said he had letter from the priest demanding 5000 francs for the statue. The priest made it plain that he money was to be used for the ,hurch. The antique dealer however, paid only 2.50o for it, conditional on supplying a substitute. This dealer 'esold 1t to a Paris antiquary for s. 100 francs, the latter supplying the ubstitute. which cost him 1000 rancs. The last Paris dealer finally esold the statue to another person or 14,o00 francs. This is as far as he missing statue has been traced.
 The question of the originality of he statue of the Virgin and the Child Il the Church of St. Sauveur-sur- ,cole was brought lip last week when n examining magistrate in Paris was instructed to investigate the matter. I. Malgorotto, an expert restorer of made a deposition to the office inspector that the statue had cen brought to his workshop for epairs and that an exact copy of 1t lso had been ordered. When the -ork was completed the antiquary .ho ordered the repairs and the copy Jade took both away, paying Malgor- ito 1000 francs.
