Remember One Thing

The general topic of discussion today where people congregate Is the war. It's on everyone's tongue and mind, for all of us are conscious of the fact that in a great conflict of this kind powerful na- ton like the United States Is always being pushed towards active participation by an undercurrent of opinion. The major ity of Americans don't want to engage in the current European scrap and there doesn't seem to be any good reason for supposing that we should or will
 One good way to discourage war enthu. siasts, the ones who want to be in on the killings, is to bring up the subject of World War debts. They were brought home rather forcibly to us recently by two things. One was the assertion of J. P. Morgan, returning from Europe, that he probably would become 'Britains and Frances financial agent in this country when 1t became necessary for these two nations to seek funds to carry on the warfare. Another was the assertion that Germany and England are prepared to fight ten years If necessary
 The cost of financing the World War was largely borne by the United States. The list of our war debtors is long one and makes interesting reading today, what with another great conflict going on. Leg islators have ragged and ranted for twenty years about war debts; now Is their chance to bring home to the nation warning about not making the same mistake twice We were beautifully luped by Europe twenty-five years ago. Why should we throw money, munitions, and MEN Into the machinery of war again?

DEPUTY WANTED
(Hartford Courant)

If there is any justice, General Sanford II. Wadhams will get the deputy he has asked for, Since 1926, he has been director of the state water commission, task that would have been sufiiciently burdensome for most executives even If the Com mission had been granted. Tn ad- dition, he Is the chairman and ad. ministrator of the Board of Super. vision of Dams, which Is charged with the responsibility of fiiantain- ing in safe condition all the dams and reservoirs in the State. He Is also chairman and administrator of the State Flood Control and Water Policy Commission, which regulates the water resources Of Connecticut, He has the general direction of the work of the State Mosquito Control Board. He Is the chairman of the State Commission on 1ntergovern. mental Cooperation, And as if these ofiices were not enough, he iS . member of the New England Water Resources Committee and of the Tr-State Sanitation Commission.
 It is idle to point out that General Wadhams strength, like dalahads, is as the strength of ten, whether because his heart or the waters over which he has anti-pollution juris- diction are pure. But QalahadS job was the relatively simple one Of carving the casques of men. One is entitled to believe that he would not have carried on 50 joyfuliy about the pleasure of life If he had had to remember the names of the agencies on which General wGdhams serves
 let alone discharge the duties that go with them. And 0alahad had his squire, just as Popeye had his Wimpy. If these strong men needed assistants to perform their relative ly ,incompiicated exploits, who can deny then eed of General Wadhaiis for 6 deputy? -

According to the American Humane Association there are 330000 families in the United States that know no perma- nent homes They live vagabond life, going from one cline to another as the weather changes. Association officials want these people tagged so that more definite information can be procured about them and an effort made to stab- ilize their lives. And that may be where the officials would make a serious mis- take. We don't doubt but what there are many members in these thousands of families who would welcome chance to settle down somewhere, but on the other hand there are just as many who prefer the free-and-easy life that has long been theirs. Of course where they constitute menace to civilized existence efforts must be made to curb their wanderings On the other hand many of them subsist about as they want to and If unmolested go their respective ways harming nobody and leading a somewhat purposeless, but harmless, existence.

Publication of State Register and Manual under new Secretary of State is always interesting Each new official to occupy this office has his or her own ideas as to what this volume of facts should contain. We presume that Mrs. Sara B. Crawford, present Secretary of State, will follow for the most part the standard set in previous years for the manual, but she will undoubtedly add to 1t what she thinks make for better and more read able volume. pr. c. John satti, her Democratic predecessor, made a number of changes not radical ones. and we can expect few more in the 1889 volume

Views of The Press

thought that the citys population Is showing consistent signs Of de-. creasing numbers. The evidence points to inevitable reduction in rate Of expansion In other directions, However, the unfavorable aspects arc not entirely as discouraging as they may seem. Haftford's loss is the gain of adjacent towns. Greater Hartford Is growing. Much of Hart- lords business comes from the near. by towns. Residents of suburban towns stream into Hartford daily where they work and where they spend most of their salary. Their homes and their schools, of course, are maintained on part of their in- come in the towns where they live.
 A shrinkiing school population has its bearing on school facilities. It is seen, for instance, in the fact that the Hartford board of education has left thrilled e number of teacher vacancies in recent years. opinion has been expressed ct educational budget hearings that the cost Of school operation has failed to show In proportion to the decreasing number Of pupils. This Is debatable, but the evidence has seemed to up- hold the board of education which had problems Of salary equalization to meet as well as an expanding high school enrollment, until this year. Furthermore. the enrolment decrease is so spread over the city that 1t Is not possible to close any one building, which would be a major economy.
 Tn view of uneven shrinkage in school population 1t is fortunate that Hartford has a unified school sys- tenn. It Is now possible. as could not be done under the old nine-dis- trict plan, to make the best use of all school buildings by adjusting the area boundaries for each school as conditions required. There is now no danger of oyer-crowding in one school with empty classrooms in aii- other a few blocks away as was the case under the district system.

A Different America

As the beginnings of European war un- roll themselves like some unrealistic slow motion newsreel, it is becoming clear that the America which watches is different America from the one that watched Europe burst into flames in 1914 Then we were shocked, fascinated, horror stricken. We were like children, for ex- cept for the brief Spanish episode, war was nothing to the average American but far-away tale of Gettysburg and Antie- tam told by grandfather. AS horror fol- lowed horror and all Europe reddened with blood we were emotionally like nerve-end barred to the touch. Every new sent its agong deep into our souls.
 But there is more and more evidence that this European war is not to repeat the pattern of the last one. Instead, 1t begins more or less where the last one left off. In 1914, the soldiers marched ott amid cheers and defiant shouts of Mach Paris!" and "A Berlin!" Today there are no flowers stuck in the gun barrels. The mood of German, Frenchman, Briton alike, is grim, determined perhaps, but somewhat sullen. It is the mood of late 1918.
 So Americans, watching this horror spread again over Europe, watch 1t not so much in the spirit of shock and open mouthed fascination that marked 1914, but more in the spirit of disillusion that came in 1919 and which has mounted since. Are we to be shocked by new tales of blood-letting, who have read nothing for the past 10 years but the slaughter of a million men in Spain and the butchery of the uncounted hundreds of thousands in China? Are we to be surprised when civilians, die in air raids, after Spain and China and Ethiopia have dinned into our ears for decade their lesson that this Is war?
 Those who remember the Lusitania can scarcely believe today the way in which the United States took in its stride the sinking of the Athenia. Few were shocked, fewer still cried for revenge. True, no Americans died, yet for two days 1t seemed certain that they had. And not a tithe of the flooding indignation Of Lusitania days rose up. Why? Because In world which has been deluged with horror for 10 years the recognition has become duly accepted that this is war as 1t Is, and as 1t must be, today.
 The inhuman, brutal, uncivilized mur- der of civilians in their homes or on the sea Is not chargeable today to war as the Germans wage 1t, or the Poles, or the English or French, It Is war, as anyone must wage 1t today who elects to draw the sword.
