DIFFERENT VIEWS
 ON PREPAREDNESS
Subject Discussed at SO- cratic Forum of Second
 Church Last Night

Refusal to sell arms to other na- tions would be the only way to prevent another war, declared Ma jor General Smedley Butler. fiery ex-marine, as he pleaded for pre- paredness at the Disarmament so- cratic forum last night at the Sec ond Congregational church.. Allied with him in his preparedness views were Senator Kenneth Cramer of Wethersfield and Mrs Charles Schall of New Haven. Disarin- ament views were expressed by Dr Manley Hudson of Harvard, Rev Theodore Greene, chairman of the international relations committee of the Congregational and Chris tian churches. Charles Kimball of this city and Rev w. c. Timmon of New Britain.
 War preparedness is like fire in- surance,' said General Butler. Isn't it better to be prepared for it, the same way we are prepared for fire, even while we are doing all we can to prevent it?" Dr Hudson refused to admit the analogy.
 Mrs Schall blamed our unpre- paredness for German acts which forced our entrance into the World War. When we finally entered 1t was the fault of the pacif1sts that we were unprepared," she said.
 Senator Cramer, who served overseas and who is an excom- mander of the state Legion, charg- ed that appropriateness caused a needless loss of life in the World War. He related that before one battle his regiment received re- placements. drafted two months before, who did not even know how to load gun.
 MT Kimball asked if prepared ness had prevented any war and Senator Cramer mentioned the Macmillan incident in Mexico, when France was prevented from causing an upheava1 by the pres ence of trained American troops at the border.
 Three lessons he learned from the World War were named by Rev MT Greene as the facts that no one wins, that ornaments do not insure peace and that war must be prevented by using law instead or force.
 Rev MT Timmons declared that to be consistent as Christian he would refuse to serve in another war. He claimed that large DOT ton of the younger generation would refuse to take part III any armed conflict.

CLEANING AND
 SANDING WALKS
Big Job During Winter in This Part of the Country

Cleaning and sanding sidewalks will now be in order for few months. Some make an effort to obey the ordinance, but others take no notice of it. It is a big job, one which many believe should be at tended to by the city, but until the law as it now exists is changed. the best thing to do is live up to it. The sanding has become more diffi- cult than before. Oil is used for fuel in many places, thus leaving no ashes to sprinkle on slippery walks. Sand is much better than ashes but it costs something, and besides some have no suitable place to keep it.
 Why wouldn't it be a good plan to have care of the sidewalks turn ed over to the unemployed, even those abuting property and to pay a small amount for the work done. Some years ago it was quite com mon for men to take care Of sidewalks in several streets for the winter, at low figure, but the plan seems to have gone out of exist onCe.

GOLD THIEVES IN
 DENTAL OFFICES
Three Complaints Filed at Police Stations During Week=End

Three complaints concerning the activities of Gold thieves" were filed with the police over the week. end. One successful raid was made by burglars when the door of the office of Dr J. G. Reynolds was jimfnied. The doctor reported that about $150 in gold was taken from his dental office.
 An attempt was made to burg larize the offices of Dr M. A. o. Hara, 167 East Main street and Dr Frank A. Mahan on the corner of Bank and Center streets. It was ap- parent that the visitors either abandoned the tasks as hopeless or was frightened away from the two places mentioned.
 Although the local authorities have been more or less expecting visit from burglars, who special ize in robbing dental offices, the work of entering the office of Dr ? Reynolds impresses the, police as being somewhat crude and anna teurish. Dental office thieves as a rule are very experienced and op- crate with a key.
