Split of the surface peace shown at the Mckinley association dinner meeting of Republicans at Water bury this week developed today with State Senator J. Kenneth Bradley, leader of the Young Republican fac tion which was in aScendancy at the Waterbury affair on the receiv- ing end of an attack on factionaliSm. Instigator of the attack is Clarence G. Willard, secretary of the Repub- lical State Central committee and of the Mckinley association. who in the Connecticut State Journal, rec ognized organ of the Republican party in Connecticut, it's editor, comes out for Maj. John Buckley, of Union, described by State Senator Bradley as a leader of the "old guard" and a group hindering party peace.
 Secretary Willard, warning that continuation of party bickerings presently is creating a statewide factionaliSm which jeopardiZes chances of Republican success this year, praises Major Buckley as one of the party's recognized leaders who lis, and always has been, for a unified Republican organization. The article aligns New Haven Republican Leader Willard with Buckley as against the Young Republican group of Senator Bradley and National Committeeman Samuel F. Pryor, Jr., of Greenwich, recognized allies for seeking state control.
 Beyond this consideration is seen the tie-up of various Republican units with the current Republican, inspired investigation into Water

case, and shall report it to the proper authorities.
 The marshal feels he has the authority to order them out, but if this order were put into effect, where would they go. True, they have relatives who could care for them, but they wont.
 Sympathy
 Our hearts went out to that sleeping infant. Our sympathy was with the dear little mother, not let of age.
 After all, there is nothing much that can be done by the marshal and his aides. But we shall watch, and give them whatever protec- tion is possible under the circum- stances.
 In these days, we hear much about Federal housing. What is it, and what does it mean to the peo- pie who have to depend upon such places as described to make their homes.
 Natives
 The little mother said she was born in Waterbury; she said also, her young husband was Water bury man..
 Surely, such cases make us all think and causes us much won der.
 The infant, a sweet little boy as we viewed his features, and touched his little hand now and then, slept peacefully through it all.

this new bloom is grown in the fa- nous Cole Oppio gardens near the ancient Coliseum.
 Rome Glory" is among the few new roses selected from importa- tions this year of the thousands raised by European hybridizers. The late J. H. Nicolas, well known Amer ican hybridizer, described Rome Glory" as one of the most magnifi- cent red roses yet produced. It is expected to prove popular with rose growers all over America.
 The heavy, oval, crimson buds open into large double cerise-red blooms. AS the flower opens the fragrance lightens a little, but the color remains true and clean. For a long period the flower resembles an improved greenhouse American Beauty. Every bloom is long lasting, whether on the plant or cut. "Rorle Glory is not affected by either dry or wet weather.

Basketball Tonight

baSkeLDal IOmght
 Community Club and Props, both undefeated, will meet tonight to partially settle the triangle for lead in the second round of the Com munity house tourney. Tribunes will meet Hillies in the other game. At a late hour last night the Props were attempting to effect a change in schedule to allow their game with the Community Club to be played first, instead of last as scheduled. No official announcements of change had been made until late today. It Is expected that the change will be granted, provided opposition from the Community Club Is not too strenuous.
 Manager Ed Kenney of the Props said last night he wanted the change so two of his team m-members would have time to travel to New Haven and take part in Big Applen con- test. The two are Romeo and Ricci- utti.

"Clean as a hounds TOOTH" we call
such a life today. He sincerely felt
that his life had been blameless. He
had committed no sin, he thought.
still his morality left him hungering
for something he called eternal life'
Jesus loved him enough to point out
his faults. Zone thing thou lackest,
go sell whatsoever thou hast and give
to the poor, and thou shalt have treas
ure in heaven: and come, follow me-"
To harm no one is not enough. We
may do this and still help no one.
Gods commands are not fulfilled by
lefraining from harmful acts of COM
mission, murder theft, adultery and
the like. Negative crafty may be
r. fectly cold and lovriess. Gods com
'ln..1ments demand a warm, positive
outflow Of love to our neighbor that
will make us want to be helpful to the
limit of his need and our ability
Therefore, to show the young ruler
that he had failed utterly to keep
Gods commandments in love, Jesus
challenged him to prove his love by
service There are sins of omission
as cruel ana as heartless as those
committed by murders, adulterers and
thieves. And Jesus severest rebukes
seemed to fall upon this class of sin
of which the rich young ruler was
unconsciously guilty.
The Acid Test.
Unwilling to prove his profession
of righteousness under the acid test.
Jesus suggested, "his countenance
fell at the saying and he went away
Sorrowful: for he was one that had
great possessions. And Jesus looked
around about and saith unto his dis
ciples, how hardly shall they that
have riches enter into the Kingdom
of God" Where now is the young
rulers eagerness for eternal life =?
Where now is. the love for his neigh
Dor he professed to. have from his
YOUTH. The center Of gravity of his
interest is in his riches, which he
clutches as he goes away from Christ
into oblivion. He made the great re-
fusal because he tried to serve God
and Mammon instead of serving God
with Mammon.

scratched a match in one of these

Now-Build More!
Now the proposition is to Guild
mere permanent buildings.
The 'tempo's" very properly were
torn down, but the present plan is to
build again for the War and Navy
Departments-and they are not con-
fined in "tempo's", but are well, if not
ornamentally, CHARTERED.
1t may also have been good policy
to move the government out of rental
quarters Yet these rented quarters
have not been abandoned. AS fast as
a governmentally rented building has
been vacated by q government depart
ment or subdivision another one has
moved N.
Indeed, vacancies have not been
nearly numerous enough to go around.
The government has leased every
available new one IN Washington,
and more, as far away as Baltimore.
In short:
Is there real estate enough in
Washington to give Uncle Sam stand
