FIDAC
As Exemplified by the Tomb of
the Unknown Soldier

(The following essay, written
by Miss Hulda Werner, placed Sec
ond in the American Legion Aux
iliary essay contest.
Fidac, the interallied Fedora
ton of Veterans of the World
War, was born in Paris on July 4,
1920. The aim of Fidac is: ITO
maintain, foster and develop that
spirit of Comradeship in the cause
of peace" To fully understand the
true meaning of this code we must
review and again bring before
our minds two situations created
by the World War.
/. The Unknown Soldier.
Unknown to all but God, he
came to give his all and now he is
part of the earth. He is under a
simple block of stone, in Airing
ton cemetery, before which a SOL
der of the regular army PAGES.
One will continue to pace in his
honor from dawn to dark as long
as the nation survives.
All those countries who took
part in those dark hours also have
their Unknown Soldier to whom
they pay tribute. The symbol
which guards most of these
tombs is a sacred burning light.
All these tombs inspire a true
measure of devotion and a better
understanding between nations.
Each year on Memorial day,
wreaths are placed upon his
tomb and the world bows down
in tribute to their Unknown Sol
der.
Maybe the Unknown Soldier
never had a personal note in the
home town paper, but now he
has undying fame in your name
and mine if not his own.
Pilgrims will visit his final rest
billet long after eminent states
men and generals of his time are
forgotten. We shall never know all
he is. But we do know where he
is now, this man who represents
all of us-all of the four millions
and more men who were in uni
form, all the L~egionnaires and
their descendants.
War is a great liar behind the
lines, but no liar at the front.
This is the straight truth as the
Unknown Soldier got it after the
call to France.
A long rubber mat is laid on
the granite pavement to ease the
trod of the regular who PAGES
back and forth before the tomb.
When he is relieved he goes to
a warm shower, a square meal
and a good bed.
The Unknown Soldier may have
had soft treading in muddy
troughs, cold showers drenched
him to the bones, his meal was
any scrap of food he had left.
The measure of true devotion
to peace is the measure OF sacri-
flee that all nations will make
in the cause of peace. To stop
war a week, a day, or even an
hour will be worth while. A life
may be saved in that time, just
as his life might have been
spared.
Where is the peace he died for?
Where is the faith, the good will?
Although this faith was some
what shattered during the World
War, will we break faith with
him, the Unknown Soldier? He
thought he was fighting a war to
end all wars. He fought to make
the world safe for us, will we keep
it so?
We of the younger generation
will be fighters of the next war.
Our part is to atone for the los
ses of the dead heroes by making
a better republic for the living.

FRENCH LUXURY
 LINER BURNED
Lafayette is Destroyed in Dry DOck-Firemen Had
 to Flee Ship

Le Havre, France, May 5.-(UP). The 22,000-ton luxury liner La- fayette of the French line was destroyed by fire today while in dry dock.
 Bremen withdrew after the fire reached two oil tanks, which ex- ploded with laundering force. The 600-foot liner, named for the hero of the American Revolution and adorned with colonial American art, was said to be total loss.
 There were no casualties. The fire started in the engine room at 9:15 last night. A stoker, using a blow torch to fire the boilers, acci- dentally jgnited a pool of mazout on the floor. Flames spread quickly through the entire hull.
 Fire Still Raging
 The flames lighted the waterfront for miles all night and still ragged fiercely today.
 A large crowd watched from the shore after the last of the firemen made his escape and the fire con- sumed what was at Ter launching in 1880 the flagship of the French line, which was before the launching of the super-ship Normandie, the pres ent flagship.
 The Lafayette was the third French passenger ship destroyed by fire in the past six years. An May 16, 1892, the George Philippar burned off Italian Somaliland with loss of Al lives, and on January 4, 1883, the 41,000-ton L'Atlantique burned in the English channel with loss of IT.

Alibi a la Ham! Establishes Capacity by Claiming Con- sumption of 35 H a m, E gg Sandwiches Fined $50,
 Neverthe-
 less.

Rocco Famiglietta, the man who ate 36 ham and egg sandwiches on an occasion when he bet he could eat 35, convinced a jury in the court of common pleas yesterday that he was not under the in- fluence of liquor when arrested following an auto accident last year. The jury found, however, that he was guilty of reckless driving. Judge Miles F. McNiff imposed fine of $50 and costs.
 Famiglietta was convicted of driving while under the influence of liquor, in a city court trial. The trial was on his appeal.
 In proving the mans capacity yesterday, Defense Attorney A. Henry Weisman asked him:
 Didn't you at one time have a bet that you could eat 35 ham and egg sandwiches at one sit- ting?"
 The reply was "yes".
 Did you win the bet?" con- tinued MT. WeiSman.
 Sure, and I ate one extra to make 36," boasted the accused.
 He later admitted to Prescott tor William J. Larkin, That was more than five years ago, and I can't do so good any more."

out the assent of the company to its own terms.
 The company had claimed that it does not in fact retain control of the activities of the agent, be- becau:e he Is master of his own time, uses his own facilities at his own expense, receives no regular wage or salary, and, in the case of the part-time agent, is at liberty to engage in other employment.
 "But not any of these facts is decisive in determining whether or not it retains control the opinion retorts.
 General Agent
 Under its arrangement, the con- pany enters into a contract with a general agent" who solicits within the special territory covered by his contract. The general agent in turn contracts with special agents" and though the company is not party to such a contract, it has the right. without assigning any cause there for, to terminate it. upon. not less than 30 days notice".
 One general agent and 54 special agents, IT of whom are on part time, are involved in the claim.
 It is expected that the decision will affect approximately 50 life in- surance companies including not only those with Connecticut head quarters but out-of-state firms with offices or agents here.

 The Union has had twelve secre- taries since its organization, the present one, Mrs. William E. Van Tassel having been the longest in office, being elected in January of this year for the ninth time.
 The organization has engaged in many branches of activity, includ- ing the support of all denomina- t1onal projects as well as the inter- est and support of many civic activities. Mention was made of the excellent record of the women of the church who, with the women of the other churches and organi- zations of the city, were kept busy during the days of the World War with knitting, sewing on hospital supplies and supporting the Red Cross and government war loans in a Sacrificial manner.
 Mention was also made of the burning of the former church build ing which was located on Grand street next to the Post Office on the night of April 12, 1912, and the building and dedication of the present building on Grove street on Oct. 4, 1917. Pictures of the burned church were on display.

Unemployment Act
 Safeguards Agents
Insurance Companies Must Pay Tax On Earnings, At= tOrney=General in Decision to Labor Commissioner

Hartford, May 5-Life insurance agents are employees within the meaning of the Connecticut unem- ployment compensation act and the companies for which they work must pay a tax on their earnings, the attorney-generals office has de- cided
 This advice has been given to Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone as the result of the claim of an out of state insurance com- pany with Connecticut offices that agents authorized by it to solicit applications for life insurance and annuity contracts are independent contractors and not employees with in the meaning of the act.
 Claim We'll Founded
 The commissioner turned the claim over to assistant attorney general Harry Silverstone and the latter has advised that "the claim of the company is not we'll founded"
 Silverstone stated that while many of the elements of control which are ordinarily present in the old-time relationship of master and servant were lacking" the company retains general control" over its agents.
 Control is in the hands of the company, the opinion says, because the company fixes the terms of all contracts, must give its assent to complete the contract and collects the premiums. Furthermore, the company has the power to discharge which is an essential element of the right to control.
 In this case, Silverstone wrote, the duty of the agent is to procure persons willing to enter into con- tractural relations with the com- pany. He emphasized the fact that the contract is not complete with

SWISS PROJECT
 DEFENSE PLAN, i GREATER ARMY
Political Truce Indicated
 As First National { Unity Move
By ALPHONsE THOMA

1y AAA 4AOANO6 4AAoAAA Limited Press Staff Correspondent
 Zurich, May 5 (UP(-The manner in which Austria was absorbed by Germany has started a countrywide movement for the strengthened Of Switzerland's defenses and armed forces.
 Indicative of the Swiss peoples belief in the need for a truce be- tween rival political parties as the first step toward national unity over defense, was a public meeting held recently in Zurich. It was addressed by prominent delegates of the So- cialist party, which a few years ago was anti-miiltaristic, and Con- mander U. Willie, army corps head. He was accused few years ago by the Socialist press of Fascist and pro-German sympathies. The subject of the speeches was national defense.
 Army Opinion Stated
 Willie said he believed Switzerland probably would have time to 1m- prove its armed forces before the outbreak of war, arguing that the great powers were not ready for war yet. He declared Germany was on the defensive on the western frontier and that France would be obliged to take the offensive. Great Britain, in the belief of Willie, is not yet prepared to serve as Frances ally.
 Conferences attended by the dele gates of all national parties, except the Communists and FrontiSts, have discussed SWitzerlands military problems and it is understood that no differences have arisen, despite the fact that defense will entail additional burdens for the taxpayer. This would be in addition to the 335, 100000 ($8,000000) Swiss franc loan for national defense of October, 1886, which is not exhausted yet.
 Plans for national defense include the extension of military service for recruits from three to six months, with the object of improving the training and having available per- manent armed force to assist in the protection of Switzerland's frontiers, as present, forces are COIlSluereu inadequate against surprise at tack
 Frontiers to Be Fortified
 The annual period of service Is to be extended from two weeks to three. Additional war material, such as heavy artillery, anti-air-craft gvns, anti-tank guns and airplaneS, is included, along with the construc- tion of new frontier Notifications and line of Notifications in the interior.
 One question which has yet to be settled is the appointment of a supreme commander of armed forces. The Swiss army has no such commander, and if war broke owt unexpectedly, the Federal As sembly would have to meet and appoint a general to the post. It is suggested that the post should be filled in peace time and by the Federal Council, instead of wait ing for war.
