Rumanian Action Reported.

Possibly connected with the
Balkan maneuvering was the report
Of Stockholm newspaper, the
Tidningen, under Moscow dateline,
Of rumors in the Soviet capital that
Russia had made representations to
Berlin in the interests of preserving
Yugoslav neutrality.
TIE rumor lacked official confir-
nation but part of it was that
Yugoslav representative paid visit
yesterday to the Moscow foreign
commissariat.
Thereafter, it was reported, the
Kremlin dispatched its note to
Berlin. It was even rumored that a
second note went to Germany but
what 1t concerned was a mystery.
Yugoslav, in a renewal of friend
ship with the U. S. S. r. notably
lacking since the Bolshevist revolu-
ton, has had delegation at Moscow
negotiating trade treaty as a
prelude to establishment of diplo-
matte relations.
A Yugoslav military commission
also is preparing to leave or has left
for Moscow, it is said, and Balkan
diplomatic circles have detected
therein the possibility of Russian
allied collaboration to keep Germany
out of the Balkans or at least the
possibility of independent Russian
pressure toward that end.

Democrats Better OFF

Announcement of the resignation of
Benjamin E. HARDWOOD as Chairman OF
v the Republican State Central Committee
comes as no surprise TO most members OF
his party as Mr.. HarWood had actually
been fulfilling his duties OF recent months
only through request. He had planned
to retire previously to this, but was actu-
ally drafted to carry on his duties until
the recent campaign was concluded NOW
that it is over and the Republicans are
preparing to relinquish their hold on the
state government, no better time for
reshaping of party policies has come.
Oddly enough Democrats, too, have just
faced and proceeded with a revamping in
organization high circles Retirement of
J. Francis Smith as State Chairman az
ter six successful years of management
of affairs precipitated considerable OPP
position to his move, but eventually his
wishes were acceded to and new chair
man named in John T. Mccarthy, New
town lumberman. Mr.. McCarthys first
venture into political management on a
state scale was a most successful one and
he is off to the same sort OF a start that
Mr.. Smith was back in 1884 when he
took over the craftsmanship.
In this respect the Democrats won't
suffer from new leadership. They are in
possession of the government for the next
two years. whereas the chairman whom
the Republicans must name very shortly
will be faced with the disagreeable task
of leading his party against one that has
proved itself worthy at the polls and,
moreover, is entrenched in office Demo-
Gratis can regard the situation as def
nitely in their favor, but with the knowl
edge that anything can happen in politics
so the wise man prepares for it.

More Military Roads

New York City officials are toying with
the thought of building four great high
ways in and around the metropolis They
involve total expenditure of about $685.
100000, but the high cost is defended on
the ground that they are of military
value. AS matter of fact the projects
are being proposed more or less on the
theory that New York may need some
such system of highways for it's defense in
case of invasion from without. While we
don't like to think about such things as
this and iSolationiStS claim we're crazy
to do so, still if there is anything in the
ideas they shouldn't fall of their own
weight.
Roughly the new roadWays would in
clude route parallel to the Boston Post
Road and Hutchinson River Parkway in
WeStchester County. This road would link
Pelham and PortcheSter and provide the
other two heavily-traveled routes with an
alternate. 1t would also dump lot OF
traffic into Connecticut at the PortcheSter
end, according to the Bridgeport Tele-
gram. BY the same token the existing
routes now do the same and there's moth
ing to believe that new road would bring
any more traffic than we now get. AS
matter of fact, it might spread it out so
that there didn't seem to be as much.
One notable feature of the proposal is
that fact that if approved by all authori-
ties the roads would be built under a
stepped-up plan within year That's
hard to believe, but we suppose that it
could be done, inasmuch as this stepped
up plan calls for 24-day of three shifts.
It would be quite an engineering feat to
see roadway practically unwind itself
across the countryside or through New
York's congeSted areas while you were
making call on a friend or buying in a
nearby store. Military defense demands
speed and precision; we hope lasting quail
tiles are also included if there is anything
definite in the plan.

Mexico Bites on MouthfuI

The New World has not for many years
seen any such immigration as the mass
transfer of exiled SpaniardS to Mexico
which is now being negotiated between
that country and France. Roughly
quarter of million people are involved.
When Franco won in Spain, these people,
supporters of the Spanish Republic, fled
for their lives France did what it could
for them, but never was able to IND
place for them in its economy. They
huddled in camps, often in Wretched
state, aided by relief from the French
government and organizations abroad.
When the present war broke, most OF
them volunteered to fight for France. But
Frances quick collapse left them again
stranded. The Vichy government, deS-
peratey trying to keep it's own people
afloat, offered them little hope.
Then Mexico stepped in. If transport
can be arranged, Mexico will receive all
of them, without regard to creed or
political belief. 1t is sweeping gesture,
and one that is apt to have important
results It means one immigrant for each
80 people now in Mexico. A proportional
influx into the United States would mean
1925 900 immigrants That is greater
number than the United States ever re-
ceived, even in the days when immigra-
ton was practically wide open = our
biggest year was 1914, when 1,218,48O
aliens were received.
Mexico is undertaking fearfully big
task, especially when one considers that
the 1000 immigrants already received
from Spain have not yet been notably
successful in establishing themselves in
Mexican life. These Spanish waits are
human beings They have to 60 some
where. Their Spanish homeland menaces
them France could offer them little,
and now falls under a regime hastile to
the republican cause they served in Spain.
They have to go somewhere. The Mexican
governments gesture is, therefore, highly
praiseworthy from the human standpoint.
From the practical standpoint if offers
problems. Politically, these new imml-
grants will range from democratic-repub-
lican all the way down, through Com
munist to syndcalist and anarchist. 1t
it to be presumed that most of them
would support the Cardenas-C omacho
regime, and bolster it against any posi-
BILE revolt by discounted Almazanists who
claim to have been jockeyed out of the
recent election. Economically, it will
not be very easy to assimilate quarter
of million people. Culturally, their i'm
pact will be great. If this immigration is
carried out on the mass basis planned, it
might we'll have drastic effects on Mexico,

From some source stout stick, sew
eral feet in length, was produced
and used to beat the helpless pa
tent. The four employees engaged
in this disgraceful attempt to COM
mand obedience and intimidate were
discharged Immediately. This pa
tent was generally cheerful and
often playful in manner Attend
ants who treated her kindly had no
trouble whatever with her, but she
refused to be inundated. The milk
had no value and would have been
dumped down the sink anyway had
1t been left on the first table. The
patient refrained from drinking 1t
when the nurse objected. but she
failed to obey to the letter the de-
mand of an imperious attendant
At several stages the affair would
have ended quietly had the nurse
possessed good sense and self-con-

Today such incidents are rare for
the reason that hospital executives
are careful who is hired. Today
progressive mental hospitals recog-
nize that patients must be treated
with every consideration and the en-
ploye who rejects this requirement
soon passes out the door for good
In hospitals in this part of the
country patients are treated as hu-

medical hospital and every mental
institution superintendent can show

New Racial "Who's Who"

1t isn't funny, of course Nothing like
this can be really funny in a Europe
deluged in blood, tears and bitterness.
but in ordinary times it would be funny.
The Spanish newspaper Arriba, celebrat-
ing the visit of Himmler, head of the Ger
man secret police, rejoiced in the fact
that the Spaniards are not really Latin
people, as the world has so long supposed.
They are really, Arriba discovers, the
descendants of the Visigoths, an ancient
Teuton people, and as such almost fit to
receive and associate on equal terms with
the Aryan Himmler.
Mussolini's sudden discovery that the
Italians were really Aryans, thus making
them also fit to associate with the AryanS
who oyerrun their land in increasing
numbers, is all of a piece with this. And
Of course the japanese are now honorary
Aryans. II is not enough that the whole
world should stew In blood. II must be
served up in sauce OF dreadful tosh 10

Speculation on the successor to Benja-
min E. HARDWOOD as Chairman of the Re-
publican State Central Committee runs
apace. There are many names being men
toned, the owners of whom would be
quite capable of fulfilling the duties. We
notice that State Treasurer Joseph Tai
bot of Naugautck is one of those consid-
cred He would make an excellent choice
and would give to the party the type Of
up-and-coming leadership that it needs
if it is going to continue to give victor
ious Democrats run for their money.
Whether or not Governor Raymond E.
Baldwin decides to continue his active
interest in party affairs also might play
some part in deciding the outcome of the
battle for the craftsmanship. If he is 60
ing to be candidate in 1912, then he will
in all likelihood be very much concerned
over the selection of the party head for
the next two years.

incidentally Republicans will have to
do lot of scurrying around in the next
two years to line up formidable ticket in
the off-year elections. They are at a dis
advantage, too, in the fact that there
won't be a senatorial election that year,
so that Senator John A. Danaher can't
add his considerable weight or prestige
to the ticket And Furthermore the pres
ent officeholders, both state and congress
sional are at disadvantage They have
only their present terms to offer as proof,
perhaps, that they should be given an
other try AS this claim must be ad-
vanced after two years political inactivity

In Today's Mail

Many persons seem to forget that
speech and manner which a sane
man would resent often exasperaIe
an insane man and prompt him to
irrational conduct. Who of us but
don't at times have our nerves al
most on edge by having to listen
to the speech of some moron or to
behold the animalistic behavior OF
some individual in public? In a
mental hospital designing attend
ant can always provoke a first blow
from his mental charge, and then
plead self-defense for his suisse
quent ill-treatment Of q person he
is paid TO protect. Right here we
want to call attention to case in
State Hospital that may he said
to be typical of cases in ali mental
institutions. Fortunately the New
Administrative Psychiatry is giving
close supervision to ward employees
and today the unfit male OF female
ward help don't continue long on
the payroll At this particular
State Hospital, at the conclusion of
a meal in a ward dining room on
the female side, the head attendant
unlocked the door and called "All
out!" Among the patients was a
very muscular young woman who
did not always obey orders from the
nurses, but who could hardly be
termed a vicious or ouarrelsome pa
tient. Well, as she passed the end
of the table near the door, she
took from it a glass of milk which
had been deposited there for anoth-
er patient who had not cared to
drink it. The attendant observed
the act and shouted, "Put down
that glass" Instead of complying
meekly the patient hurried out of
the room, pursued by the attendant
nurse, who repeated her order.
About eight feet from the door, in
the adjoining hall stood table
upon which the patient placed the
glass, having neither partaken or
spilled the milk. She then has
tened to the end of the ward, still
pursued by the badly peeved nurse,
who insisted that the patient must
take the glass back to the dining
room table. AS the nurse, deter
mined and threatening, finally APP
preached, the patient faced her, and
taking hold of each wrist held the
nurse rigid and helpless. This was
done in a good natured way, the
patient laughing all the time. The
nurse shouted for help, and prompt
ly three other nurses were engaged
in subduing the patient, who was
finally thrown to the floor, and held
there while one of the employees,
taking of her shoe, used the heel
as a hammer on the patients body.

Toby had intended since last spring

But always found some more immediate thing

OF hours swept him further from his vow.
1t hurt his pride to have his neighborS see
Evidence of slackneSS, scarlet now
In autumn sunshine. Free, but never free
To leave his crops ungahered his chores undone,
He left grapevine to dispute the right
OF sumacs to possess the land: which one
Became the victor in the lawleSs fight.
Did not concern him since consuming flame
Would claim them both. 1t might be well to see
What must be done SO Toby, Eliminating, came
At shutdown to behold flgree
OF foliate fire. hung with clustered blue,
He picked a bunch of grapes and found them good:
Partaking of their wildnuess. Toby knew
THAI he would never scythe them-as he should
