THE BOX PEACE PLAN

MT, Bok's efforts to create plan for permanent world peace seem to have stirred up a little war all its own.
 Professional politicians who have feathered their nests by taking a stand against America's associating with Europe accept as a personal in- suit the finding of the Box judges, who have selected as the best arrangement submitted one which recommends an active interest by the United States in world affairs through the League of Nations.
 In order to discredit the plan, some Of the irreconcilables are even talking about a government investigation to determine whether the real object of Mir Box was to create propaganda in favor of our becoming a member of the league. This is ridiculous. Of course, but shows 10 what ends ene- mics Of the league will go.
 The author of tho winning contribu- ton in the Box contest proceeds logi- cally to show why the United States should be a member of the League of Nations in preference to initiating . movement for the organization of new association Of nations. Five-siXths Of all the countries on the earth are at present members of the league. Would they willingly agree 10 the dis memherment Of the league in order to construct new edifce with the United States as a keystone? Hardly.
 The United states is now taking part in some Of the league activities. either officially or unoflicially thereby recognizing its existence and the fact that il is funetioning.
 The storm is still in it's infancy. The attacks on the Box plan are just bee ginning. A whirlwind Of professional disapproval, even more voracious than the one which assaulted Mr. Wilson, is now brewing around tho dome of the national capitol.

LOOKING BACK

Stories. like wine with age, become more and more mellow. To prove this statement just ask one of our ex- service men who have returned to the battle fields Of France after an ab- scncc of five years He visits Chateau Thierry or Nerdun, they are built mp somewhat, but tho guides, in their at- tempt 10 impress the tourists, who must get their moneys worth, hear a story of ono of the boys go them one better and fin few hours it is away out of shape. For instance, a place near verdun, Glorieux by name, was subject to violent bombardment dur ing the war--a guide pointed out where a shell exploded and killed so many men and wounded many more. Tho next day another guide raised the number killed and wounded. A rather emotional young lady noticed young man in the early thirties looking ra- ther serious She remarked Co him that he must have had an experience on that very spot. He admitted that he was there the time the shell ar- rived. He was shiyering and the lady felt sorry for him. The young man admitted that if he ever went there again the eloquent tongued guide would have him thinking that he was dead too.
 There have been attempts Of France to select guides to inform the thou sands Of tourists who visit the battle fields but all the legislation in the world can not prevent an enthusiastic ally from giving the willing listener all the facts and stories which he knows. The tourist. himself, must be- lieyc in direct proportion to the amount Of enthusiasm displayed by the guide and then he will have an unbiased set Of facts for after dinner conve versation.

CLAIMS REAL TREASURE
Nebraska Man Has Painting Which He is Sure is One of Raphacl's Or iginal Works.

New York, Jan. s.--A painting be- lieved by it's owner, Dr. John Stewart Livingston, Of Plymouth, Nebraska. to be the original of Raphael's Ma donna of the Rose" or possibly the same artists Madonna Of the Pink" Is nof being studied by II. A. Ham, mond Smith, noted connoisscur.
 After a preliminary examination, however, Mir. Smith ventured the opinion that the picture, done on an old wooden panel with no trace of the Raphael school. He places its period at about 1925, several years after Raphael's death. But because of its age and it's connection with the Post Raphael school, it is neverthe- less Of great value. He will continue his study Of it while restoring it 10 it's original colors
 According 10 authoritative writers on Raphael's works, the original of his Rose Madonna now hangs in tho museum at Madrid. The same writers say that his Madonna Of tho Pink has never been found.
 Dr. Liyingstonis painting shows the Madonna holding the Christ-ehild in her right arm. At her breast is q rose. In the lower left hand corner Of the painting is the infant St. John. The original Rose Madonna, leading art connoisseurs declare, held the rose in her right hand and in Madonna of the Pink two roses lay on table be- fore the Madonna and the infant St. John was not included in the piece.

BOOKS. AND MORE BOOKS

Residents Of the eastern section Of the city will be pleased to learn that the branch library. which has been in existence there, will not be discon- tinued. the directors Of the New Brit ain Institute Library having decided that it serves a need Of that communi- ty.
 Reading has become almost as cs- sentiaI as food There is no reason why any person should be deprived of this great blessing in a land which begs it's people to become educated and which offers with lavish hand everything which would contribute to their mental enlightenment No man or woman can be familiar with the course of events in the worlds history without reading. In order 10 properly appreciate the value of current events, q person must have knowledge Of what transspired in past years SO thaf tbe relation of today and yesterday can be evaluated.
 The Herald would go step farther and have established in the eastern section a library large enough 50 that the thought Of it's being 2 branch" would be done away with. That populous part Of the city deserves the best Of service.

SUPPORTING OBREGON
Agrarian Movement fin Mexico Is De- finitcIy Pledged to Support The Present Administration.

By The hssociated rress
 Mexico City. Jan. S.-(Nia Laredo Junction. 1.-The Agrarian movement throughout inc republic in support Of the Ubrcgon government was mani tested in the action Of the Durango convention in voting to petition the government for arms and equipment for the peasant battalion which are noH organizing in. that state.
 The decision reached by the peasant congress which closed Saturday al San Luis Potosi. was 10 organize reg ular army battaIions, state guards and regional forces from among federal government adherents.
 The Agrarisns were divided into two classes. those able 10 abandon their homes 10 fight wherever the government decides. and those able 10 leave their homes only when the ene- my appears nearby.
 It is planned 10 incorporate the first class into the regular army al San Luis Pot0si. The second class nili form state guards and regional forces. they last named serving fratui- tousy. the arms and munitions ex- peeted 10 be purchased from the United States arc intended for those Agrarian soldiers.
 Possible interruption Of railroad communication which has been off raiiy announced. will. not affect the munition supply of tho regular army since the government intuition fac tory is working to full capacity with plenty Of raw material in stock

AN ALLEGORY
Civic Safety League Draws Picture or
 Two Law Breakers.

A clerk in q responsible position in New Britain embedded money of the department which employed him with the common results of detection and punishment. His superior in the department had a son, about twenty years of age. He saw here a good lesson and a moral for that son. He rubbed it into the boys mind from every possible angle, including the violation of the moral law, the law Of his country and of his State. He haa good reason to feel that the lesson on breaking the law, it's igominy, it's dis grace and other consequences had gone home. And it had!
 Later the same evening there was 4 knock at the door. The son opened the door. The caller had d gunny sack which he left. with his compli- ments, for inc father. The father ar rived on the scene little later. He carried the bag to the cellar, removed the bottles Of liquor which it contain ed. and with evident satisfaction placed them on a shelf. The boy had followed his father down stairs with conspicuous interest. He took m all the proceedings. but was silent wit ness for the time being. But when they were up stairs the son opened up. Father, that was mighty good talk you gave me about living up to the moral and written law, but how about you and the prohibition law? You bargained with that bootlegger for that booze. How many laws, mor- al. national and State were broken in your business with him? Somehow yOuF talk docs not square with this DOotiegging.
 The father was q real man after ali. He owned up to the boy that he had him. He poured the booze into ibe sewer and swore off all business with bootieggers and their kind.
 < newspaper mans comment-In- stead of giving the law loyal support many people who appear to think that they belong 10 the so-calied up- per class are most fragrant violators both of it's letters and spirit. Yet these same people complain if they are held up by d highwayman, or their proper ty otherwise unlawfully taken or dis turbed. They rail at the inefficiency of inc authorities and demand strict enforcement of the law against these despoilers of property while at the same time they by their actions pro- claim their disregard for another branch of the same law"

 versa. Senators Brandegee and Mo Lean have both favored the bonus 1 heretofore but now they may have the opinion that public sentiment is changing due possibly to the forma- ton of an eX-service mans anti-bonus doubt acquainted their senators that they have for q slogan For the Able bodied Nothing. For the Disabled crything." Some of the members claim that a referendum to the ex- in the defeat of the bonus idea. Maybe it would but it must he remembered 
 at Bridgeport some three years ago went on record as against the state bonus. The executive committee of the Legion upset the decision of the few who were there and conducted a referendum among all the posts of the Legion in the state, some did not vote but the vast ma ajority went on record to favor a state bonus. This recital of facts is just given to convince the reader that even ex-scrvice men are apt to err when they attempt to say what their brothers in arms think.
 The two Connecticut Senators have telegrams from local posts of ex-serv- ice men placing them on reord as be- ing in favor Of a national bonus, and they must have telegrams also against the bonus. It would be a simple mat ter to have another vote in all the ex- service mems posts in the city as to just how all the ex-serviee men feel about it. or to have one of the posts have a ballot taken, the right to vote be given to ex-serviee men who can display a discharge paper. That pro- cedure would settle. at lea&, the question in the city of New Britain as to whether or not the ex-service men themselves wanted a bonus.
 To try and interpret the sentiment of a community on this all important question would be like trying to dig the Panama Canal with teaspoons, but the voting plan for eX-serTice men would settle a dividing point existing among veterans of the world war.
