of speed at times.
Beach started the scoring with a
followed UP shot but Capt Fredler
came through with a shot from the
middle of the floor which brought the
house down. He soon followed with
another one from the same place. AS

for Coburn to try long shots and
many of these shots counted. This

 high treason against the new republic
 is to be dealt with in the same way
 high treason against the empire would i have been treated
 But in the freeing of Ludcndorff and in the view of it taken by the peo-

 licunce. The man who was afraid of his countrymen just after tho war, is acclaimed by them now. How many of them are the same scarcely matters Ii is certain their attitude of mind has changed. Evcrey cheer for l.uden- dorff means a cheer for the old re- gime, the monarchism which inspired slGclity to the kaiser. sacrifice for the tathcrland because fidelity and sacri- flee were demanded.
 When the case of the position of this man in Germany today is con- but few wells ago that 3,000.000 peo- pie stood ready to support one of the formT kaiser's sons for the presidency Of Germany. does not seem idle. The prince prefers his life of amusement to politics. The monarchists, cinging to the old gods, were disappointed. Now LudCndorfG is the prominent figure ill Germany today-this man who repre- sents the worst Of the element which will never be satisfied so long as the republican form, at least, of govern ment continues.
 There will be a chance at the com. ing elections in Germany for the peo- pie to show their true feeling by their votes. The manner in which the &C., quittai of Ludendorff was received by the people, with the exception of those newspapers which disapprovcd of the trials outcome. does not augur Helk for the success of the republican form | of government unless mere tempor- ary emotion inspired the treatment Of 1 Ludendorff as hero.

 It is quite certain that any appoint mcnt Of President Coolidge at tllis time would meet with adverse criti- cism.

It is the sort of ap- pOintmcnt he would be expected to make, and there is little question but that Mir. Stone, if the nomination is confirmed, will serve at considerable financial sacrifice" for while at least --as long as he is in office. The fnan- cially beneficial! results may come later because of his added prestige gained by membership in tine cabinet of a president.

Ot R CITY


 or course the 500 or more visiting Rotarians who are in the city today know all about "The Hardware Center Of the World" and are duly apprecia- tive of the work done here to do our share in calling attention to this par tieular corner of the globe. But it win do no harm to smilingly remind such visitors that not only is the hardware outlook splendid and based upon con sistent development without setback ks, but also that New Britain herself is using q lot of. hardware as well as manufacturing it.
 The great amount of building done here recently as mentioned in the Herald of yesterday, and the buildings planned, with the many homes to make more room for people coming here attracted by the city's splendid opportunities has created a part at least of the insistcnt demand for builders hardware. contractors sup plies and tools. News for our own con- sumption is that although activity in retail sales is more or less contingent upon warmer weather nevertheless ac- tivity at this time in several sections Is reported.
 New Britain needs no advertising in the sense that a new product would fail without advertising New Britain has never sought and never enjoyed the sort Of boom that has come to many cities. And Of this fact New Britain is proud. Today. according to experts. the city may expect rapid de- ,elopmont, and it is well to remem- her when speaking of the city 10 strangers. that New Britain is prcpar- ing for such development by .zoning and other Improvements. The in- crease in population Of 10000 in the last four years is considered nothing remarkable here. so confident arc the residents Of the city. The Figures, how ever, strike the stranger as impressive. Without boosting or without attempt ing 10 characterize the city as "the only place in the world worth living in. the true New Britainite will feel much pride in the array Of figures md facts he will be able to give to any interested inquirer.
 ifhe people of New Britain are hosts 10 an organization Of leading men from various sections Of New England. Ii docs not bchoove the host to boast Of his house. But there is no impro- pri.iy in showing a loyalty to the city "a loyalty based on accomplishment, economic and ciyic--to men who are seepiy interested in such matters.
