GETTING ACQUAINTED

Never may there be peace and good will all over the world, nations joining in this spirit, until practically all na- tions express their desire for peace and show evidences of good will. Nor may these things come until men of all nations understand those of other races. Moreover understanding comes through knowledge.
 This is one of the reasons why, the people of New Britain in whose veins flows the blood of many races, well come chances to become better &C., quainted with representative men from all over the world. Recently there have been entertained here sev- eral of such. representatives. They came as strangers. They left as friends. In every case have they created or intensified a good impress sion of the land from which they came as in every case they have expressed
 
 ing of the cordiality and friendship of the people of this city.
 Today comes another chance to ''get acquainted" As we have welcomed such occasions recently, so we are glad of the event of the day. Major Avo Shmoel Khan of the Assyrian army, and his party ,are the guests of the people of the city attracted to this officer by blood bonds. Thecity itself, through its mayor, will honor this nized by the governments of many lands. Again has come the chance to honor a distinguished visitor from another land and again there will be the creation of a mutual bond between the people of city Of this country and those of another nation. Through these meetings and the resultant bet ter understanding. great things will eventually come, eliminating, it is the devout hope, in the sort of universal understanding that will make any thing but peace and good will impossi- ble.
 This representative of the Assyrian army-the defender of 6 nation in | which men and women Of America have long taken deep interest-is cordially welcomed here.

YROiZKY'S CONDITION
His Attending Physician Denies That soviet Chicr Has Any serious Or- ganic tilmrnt.

By Tue Assu,inted pross.
 Moscow, heb. 23.--Dr. hexandroy. who has just returned from the Cau- casus where he has been attending Leon Trotzky, the soviet war minister. declared today there was no truth in the recent reports emanating from Kharkov that Trotzky had heart trou- ble, tuberculosis, stomach infection or other organic disease. The physician said there had been no pathological changes in the stomach or heart of the patient, but that catarrhal bronch- ities, due to influenza, was recurring and that he had had a temperature for several weeks. He was greatly improving now in the sea air, the physician added, but stormy weather was interfering with the sunshine cure which had been prescribed.
 This open air treatment will be continued for some time. Dr. Alexan- drov said, and he expected the war minister would be able fully to re- sume his duties in due course.

Chicago Tribune Writer in Mexico City is Accused of Distorting Politi- cal News.

cal News.
 Chicago, Feb. 23. - Frederick Wright, correspondent in Mexico City for the Chicago Tribune, has been or dered deported from Mexico by the secretary of the interior on charges of persistent misinterpretation of po- litical news" according to special dispatch from him in today's Chicago Tripune.
 The charge was made, the dispatch states, after an investigation of an ar ticle in the Tribune of January 6, re- garding the destruction of the nacien- da of Mrs. Rosalie Evans in the stale of Puebla,
 Wright knew nothing about the ar tiele, which was written under date of Monterey, Mexico. by Ralph Cam eron, now In the United States, the Tribune says. The story told of op- erations or Obregon troops under General Almazan against the prop erty of Mrs. Brown, native of Brownsville, Tex. The buildings on the estate were burned and Mrs. Evans escaped because of the fidelity of faithful servants although her pres ent whereabouts are unknown.
 Mrs. Evans case was the subject Of special warning 10 Mexico from Charles Beecher Warren, newly ap- pointed tiited States ambassador to Mexico, while he was in Mexico City last summer on the claims conren- ton mission, the Tribune says.

SOCIAL STANDARDS"

Most laws exist because they are
 sound principles. Most laws are aimed
 to prevent the committing of deeds
 which, if persisted in, would disor- ganize society; would render life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness but sham and would prevent the en- joyment by man Of the things he him solf has made for his own bcnefit-to protect property from vandalism. Few laws continue to be enforced if they have not back of them tho general and enthusiastic approval Of the people.
 Every person who walks the streets believes that there should be q law against taking the life of another un- less there is reason for fl amounting 10 sclf-dcfense. We believe that our possessions should be guarded by law;
 that we should be free to do as we please as long as we do not infringe
 upon the rights of our neighbor.
 But here comes a qualification. We believe that no man should be allow cd to do with his own anything that will tend to harm the vast majority Of people. No man should bc allowed to burn his own house down if others will be endangered thereby or fl others will have to pay something because Of the act No man should be allowed to in- ilict punishment upon man or beast The people of the land believe that general lowering of standards which would come from such action should be prevented. Hence the laws against cruelty t0 animals
 Moreover no man should be allowed Co treat his own children cruelty. The moment a child is born that infant comes into possession Of something his parent. too. possesses. No parent may -e.esily take from his child the life which has been given him. The duty dcvolyes upon the parent to take proper care or the infant he has brought into thc world.
 And then comes the matter Of the sgrial standards which. in some coun- tries. make g wife the slave Of the husband. to treat as He secs it. Tn civilized England even. the man Is the arord and master" In other countries thc lord and master idta is carried sven furthcr Tn America. and if is our proud boast although we have strict laws maintaining tho marriage relations. no vife is a chattel. Her rights are sacred. Size. as well as the man she rrds. Is assured her freedom.

matter how high may be his ideals. Under circumstances such as these we may fully appreciate the limitations of human understanding, and we, of New Britain, may be glad that there are public officials of this city whose tact and humanity shows them a way to save the persecuted and at the same time to keep within the spirit of the law.

COMMUNICATED
AcAsIING THE FIRST sToNEo
City Should Clean Own Walks Before
 Arresting Other Property Owners


 Editor New Britain Herald:
 In last nights Herald appeared the caption "37 Warrants Out for Failure to Clean Walks" It makes the writ CT wonder why the city does not set a good example and clean city proper ty sidewalks before they issue war rants for failure to do this which the city does not seem to think necessary to do on their property.
 The sidewalk around the Monroe street school is the worst example of neglected sidewalk that the writer passes over. It should be good ex- ample and an inspiration for others to do likewise. The sidewalk is in such bad shape that the majority of the people prefer to use the road in pass ing, the school.
 The writer wishes you could find space in your paper to call this to the attention of the city officials for he believes if they knew of this ex- isting condition that it would be cor- rected.

ENROLMENT
AT u LESS
Late Harvesting and Thresh'
/ ing Is One Reason

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 13.-
The total enrolment in the Uni
versity of North Dakota up to
September 80, is 1905, according
to figures issued from the regis
trar's office. Thirteen hundred
and thirty had registered by this
same date last year.
The apparent decrease is partly
accounted for in the letters from
students asking permission to
register late because Of the delay
ed harvest, it is believed. Other
reasons are the discontinuance OF
the two year teachers course and
the unusual number of students ap-
plying for admittance from other
institutions. Over one hundred
such applicants with from one to
three years training, have regis
tered. AS it is necessary to cor
relate their work with the currl-
cula of the University their regis
tration is slower, it is explained.
A characteristic North Dakota
feature of the enrolment is the
fact that 279 more men than VIC
men have registered,-792 men
and 513 women. Of these 651 or
more than one half have enrolled
in the College of Liberal Arts. The
College of Education with 239 is
second and engineering third with
161. Commerce, law, and medl-
cine have 80, SO and 40 respective
ly. Model high school has SO.
The registration by classes is as
fellows: seniors 20S; juniors, 307;
sophomores, 312; freshmen 359.

ial students complete the enroll
