THE MOUNTAIN AND THE MOL.
 HILL

Political bias and prejudice seem to have been the guiding principles in the lamontable developments in cident to the controversy over the comptrollcrship. Gentlemen whose education and training would sug scst they be able 10 restrain them selves in an emergency have shown no higher conceptions Of the public welfare than a child playing with toys The thought uppcrmost in at tempting 10 solve the impassa created by political folly has been superimposed upon political consid. erations.
 This applies 10 both sides of tho controversy, The Mayor has favored the retention of Bliss W. Clark as acting comptroller until the election produces a permanent official: and incidentally that is not bad idea considering that Mir. Clarl, has beoh Identified with the office, knows the routine and therefore ought to be well qualified 10 carry on the work during this short period. Originally the Republican machine is said 10 have favored Mr. Clark also, but was overruIed in favor Of Mr. Day at a caucus. From that point on the controversy has ragged like the proverbial tempest in q teapot
 Neither side, actuated by de sire 10 be proven right and a desire 10 win regardless Of consequences. has been prepared 10 yield as much as an inch, and if public business suffered in consequence public busi- ness would have 10 go hang. This at. titude is no credit. 10 either side concerned and 10 citizens as a whole it is quite 6 sorry exhibition of po- lltical incompetence.
 The moves" made on the chess hoard Of politics since this con- troversy started have been deter mined largely by the desire 10 get the best of the other fellow regard less of the possibilities, probabilj- lies and erentualties. Political pres sure has been eN~rtcd in aboundnc measure, We feel certain, until ir is evident that sides are taken not ir accordance with whatever underly- ing logic there might have been evident but according 10 political preferences. The political machines have functioned as if their entire future were al stake. when in reality all that needs 10 b-,ner anyone Is how the comptroller position should he carried on for comparati,eIy lew weeks.
 What under similar circom. stances, would private corporation have done? Surely nothing else than after the death Of the recent comp. trollor it would have continued in. assistant as acting comptroller until a new comptroller were chosen The method would have been eIrmon- tary and simple.

The gen tlomcn operating the political wa- chimes in this city have done much to undermine what remaining conf. donco there might have been in their methods, There has been q suggestion here and there that after all. things get done .aU4r fashion and we muddIo through one trouble. some situation after Jnothor What is 10 be expected of 1h" political handling Of such q iaree issue ifsu"h petty political chirauery fs exercised m comparatively stnaII ma'tnr2

JAP ANESE TEACH
 CHINESE SOLDIERS
Leaders Sent to Nearby Nation
 to Acquire Tactics

Peiping, July 19 UP)-Chinese military leaders in Manchuria and also in North China have apparent ly decided 10 adopt Japanese mili- tary methods and to turn over the direction Of their military schools to Japanese experts.
 A considerable number of Jap anese officers have been coming to Peiping and Mukden recently, with out much publicity from any source. There are now five Japanese instruc- tors in the military staff college at Peiping, and seven Japanese aviation officers have recently been detailed to the aviation school at Mukden.
 Appointments Significant
 These appointments are especially significant because German instruc- tors were first used in the Peiping school. and the Mukden aviation school issued an announcement re- gently that French instructors would be used. It now seems that Japanese will be substituted in both cases.
 several German ofnCeTs came 10 the Peiping military school. It was reported that they had been brought out by General Chiang Ksi-shek, who was anxious to keep close cor trol over the military schools in north as well as south. But when the break came with Ranking, the Ger man instructors were in an awll- ward position. They had been en- ployed by Chiang, but were now working for 2 group opposed to him.
 The northern militarists. however appeared willing to let the Germans continue as instructors. But several of the Germans resigned, because they said the discipline was so bad in the school that they could do no work. Some of the German officers

There is little doubt but that he will spend money freely 10 build up the military avia- ton school at Mukden.

Long Illness Fatal to Worthington Ridge Resident-Funeral of Miss Margaret Flynn Held This Morn- ing-Church Notices.

Town officials have under consld eratlon a proposal to defray $500 Of the costs of rebuilding q roadway from the New Britain town line to the Shuttle Meadow club house.
 First Selectman Leon G. Hall stated today that the question of the towns liability had been gone into with the club officials and the board Of selectmen had taken the matter under advisement.
 He further stated that it was like ly that a decision might be deferred some time IL is understood that q similar bill for $500 was paid by the town during the administration of former first selectman, George B. Garter.

 Change to Buses Opposed
 The use of buses from New Brit ain to Middletown. which is belng advocated, and concerning which hearing was recently held before the public utilities commission, IS meet ing with some opposition in the Niddletovn section of the affected area.
 This opposition is not so much against the inauguration of a ne" bus line as it is directed against any attempt on the part of those inter ested to effect the dlscontlnuance of the resent electric service that now operates between that city and Berlin. Mayor Bielfield, in speaking on the subject, stated that the pres emf electric service is so scheduled as 10 make connections at Berlin with trains on the main line, and he has warned of the displeasure o' NIiddletown citizens should any cur tailment of the baggage service be made.
 This question. however. is still IT the proposal stage and the matter will be looked at from all it's angles before any definite action Is taken
