sin.nnn.o 900 FOR GERMANY

The lower house Of congress has seen fl to vote about Sl0,o0e.00o to be spent for the relief of the German achildron. That amount of foodstuffs is 10 be sent over the seas to the off, spring of the nation that, by its own net, brought about the starvation that is now alleged 10 be in progress. 1t is pleasant 10 think that we are the ones in position to help after the war and are not unfortunate enough 10 be In need Of another country's charity, and that seems 10 be about the only grain Of comfort there is in the situation for the average American.
 Children are children and, as such, are entitled to all Of the help that an adult, anywhere. can give. Starving children should be fed, reluctantly as we may move about doing so. But the unfortunate aspect of the situation Is that we arc taking the burden of sup port from the hands of parents that not only are to blame for the trouble but will probably prove to be abso- lutely without gratitude for what we may have done for them
 Had Germany accepted her proper position as a defeated enemy grace fully France would probably never have gone into the 1,hineland, had the people Of occupied territory accepted the occupation and willingly helped in paying off their true obligation in- stead Of impeding any attempt at financial reconstruction by quitting work, there would not have been the need Of support for the children. The Germans made no emort to do any thing, realizing fully that they would be taken care of somehow, by some- onc-and it was obvious who that someone was to be.
 The entering wedge ip an attempt to get support from the world has been driven home by the Germans they have succeeded in obtaining Q comparatively small sum of money | from the united States for the sak' ] or tlo children" And this is only the ! first wedge we predict. We have made the German nation our object Ui charity. thc German is moi so consti- tuted that be Will accept and attempt to reciprocaic. Having successfully ] obtained enough 10 take care Of th' children his next thought will be tC take care Of himself. With one hand fighting of any attempt of any na . lion 10 collect fndemniiics he will us' i the other 10 build up his country ] financially and from tho standpoint. o ! military material. all the while stand. ing with open mouth willing to be fe' i Iy those who were his late enemies and who probably aill be again, a
 soon as he is able
 The Herald predicted that the time
 would come when the people Of tht
 Rhineiand would have to be fed, tha that would bc the outcome Of th French occupation. We are not feed ing them yet. but we have started. nj enc knows where we are to end.

FEW NEW VOTERS

A small vote at an election shows one of three things-or combination of them all. Either the people do not bother to vote because they think the result is foregone conclusion, or the organizations do not work hard enough 10 ''get out the vote" or peo- pie are pretty well satisfied with things as they have been running and are content to 'let 'em go." feeling that they will continue to run smooth ly-they are satisfied.
 Practically the same situation exists in the matter of making new voters just before a mayoralty election in a city like New Britain. There were al- most 5000 applications to be made voters. Most of these, probably, were obtained by party workers. compara- lively few of these ito be mades' showed up and were made voters" The explanation for the slight interest does not lie in inactivity Of party workers to persuade other to present themselves for receiving the privilege. Only preiudiced and violent partisans believe the result of the mayoralty election is a foregone conclusion.
 There remains, then, but one proba- ble explanation for the failure of so many of the Ito be made voters to come and go through the ceremony Of being recorded as voters That third reason. as in the case Of a small vote. would thus seem to be that the peo- plc who might be made voters but who have not taken the trouble to do so are pretty well satisfied with the way the affairs of the city have been conducted, and they take it for grant, cd that they will continue to be well conducted. They do not stop to figure that there may be a change in ad- ministration. They have no especial complaint to make. and they do not bother to place themselves fin a posi- ton to register any complaint by their vote.
 Now many people think that the 'io be mades" all are people who have not been citizens of the United States Many assume that the 5000 who ap- piled were not of the most intelligent type Of person anyway and would not be intelligent voters. That they think nothing about city affairs and don't realize the value Of their, chance to vote. This, of course is quite mis- take. Many people from other states iife-long voters. have never taken the trouble 10 be made voters in New Britain. Many of those 5000 are peo- pie of high intelligence, but. it is ad- mitted lacking in a full appreciation Of what they should do as citizens. But fl may be said quite certainly that if there were great criticism in ths city of the manner in which the city had been run during the last two years. there would be rush by prac- ticalIy all Of those 5000 to gain the chance 10 register their protest al the approaching election.
