LABORING PEOPLE NOT GOING
TO TURN THEIR BACKS
ON ROOSEVELT

November 3, 1910.
Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
may be trifle late in my sum-
maries of Tuesdays election. How
ever, in summing up the peoples
opinions of the campaign, I gather
that the presidential election will
be a very close one. am also with
the belief that President Roosevelt
will make history by being the first
third termer.
To me, I cannot see how Pres
ident Roosevelt can be so easily for
gotten for what he has accomplish
ed for the people of these United
States including the begger on the
street to the steel magnates. He
deserves to be and will be again,
our president for another short
term of four years. Should the now
independent, normal laboring peo-
pie do an injustice to themselves
and a greater injustice to our pres
ident, refuse him the only thing he
asks of us for what he has done for
us, the consequences would not be
as bad as the Democratic organiza-
ton claim will be.
My explanation for this would be
more or less like the old addage of
changing boats in mid-stream. In
stead of mid-stream, would say
that the president has already pass
ed the mid-stream and any boat
changing would be done very close
TO shore where any one with COM
mon sense can easily avoid any dan
ger TO reach safety.
For the state election / believe
that Robert Hurley will be victor
lous by a very close margin and
with him the major candidates will
also accomplish their desires.
! am a Democrat, a Democrat
with broad mind when politics Is
concerned. ] believe any man SEEK
ing public Office regardless OF party
is showing his interests as a citizen
and firm believer OF these United
States All the more power 10 him,
should he be victorious.
IN this presidential election !
know that the working people have
nj forgotten the man responsible
for healing our wounds. Now we
should show him that we have not
forgotten the doctor" hy voting for
President Roosevelt and his party
candidates. Thanks again,
J. JEAN THOMAS.

friends. He combined wealth, so
necessary in the diplomatic serv-
ice, with brains, so necessary but
so rare.
Kirk will not have the rank of
ambassador, though he may be
promoted if a formula can be
worked out whereby tine United
States does not have to recognize
the conquest of Ethiopia.
MUSSOLINI NEEDED VICTORY
Upon the outcome of the war in
Greece depend several things be-
sides the question whether Hitler
pushes on to Suez Probably the
most important is the wars effect
upon the Italian people-especial-
" in case of setback or defeat,
For long time, U. S. intelli-
gence reports have indicated
that Italy was the Achilles heel
of the Axis and that the Italian
people were none too enthusiasts
tic about their partnership with
Germany. Basically, the Ital-
ians always have sided more
with Britain than with Ger
many. For years they had dis
trusted Germany, and for an
equal number of years had done
business with Great Britain.
Furthermore, the war has put
q severe economic pinch on the
italian people. In return they
have had no great victories and
conquered no important territory.
Hitler has been able TO show new
conqueSts TO arouse the enthu-
siasm of the German people, but
Mussolini has had nothing TO show
except Albania and British Som
aliland.
Even the much heralded add
vance of Marshal Graziani in
Egypt now has begged down on
the sands of Sahara. So MuSsO-
Eini needs a Greek victory and
needs II badly. And if he doesn't
get II, observers in Italy believe
that dissatisfaction among the
italian people might become so
great as to lead to a new dicta-
tor in Rome.
NOTE-Because Of her vastly
superior air force and more mod
ern army, the odds are very much
in favor of an italian victory.
Outcome of the war, however, de-
ponds on how much AID Greece
can get from Britain, which can
not risk taking too many troops
away from its Egyptian defenses;
also whether Jugoslavia and Tur-
key come in.

SELF-PRESERVATION CALLS
For REELECTION OF
CONGRESSMAN
SMITH

Waterbury, Conn, Nov. 4, 1910.
Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
Republican voters Of the 5th Con-
greSsional district both men and
women, tomorrow you will go to the
polls and vote into Office candidates
who will govern your destinies in
the state and also the nation for
some time in the future.
1t Is human nature to have the
instinct Of self preservation. On
tomorrow if you have that instinct
when casting your vote for Repre-
sentative of the 5th Congressional
district, be guided by it, and vote
for Hon. j. Joseph Smith, your
present Representative in Congress,
who is up for reelection.
Self preservation in minor matters
at cost Of anguish, and despair to
your friends, neighbors, relatives or
Z even acquaintance of yours is mean
and cowardly. At the present time
that feeling inside you that is al
most impossible to explain in words;
that feeling of righteousness; yes,
call it that selfish feeling of self
preservation if you may, is instilled
in you by a supreme power guiding
you along the right road, for not
only your own benefit but for the
benefit of every man, woman, and
child in til country.
I feel it, you feel it, and thou
sands of other highly respected Re
publican citizens feel it also to a
degree that they will vote for j,
Joseph Smith, a Democrat. Let us
forget party politics in this in
stance; let us turn deaf ears to po-
litically paid ward heelers and
bosses endeavoring to instill a feel
ing Of dire calamity in us unless we
vote as they are dictated to advise
US, let us ignore the rantings and
rambling utterances OF stump speak
ers attempting TO discredit the most
honorable, able, efficient, and God
fearing representative the state OF
Connecticut ever sent TO the House
Of Representative, j. Joseph Smith
Let US exercise right that our
country, thank God, grants us; the
right TO vote for an honest man
who holds the respect OF his COM
munity and the interests OF his
constituents closer 10 his heart than
the remuneration he gets for his
time or the party he represents.

1t. Col. Miller Warns
Reserves Must Learn
To Fit Into Corps

LAKEHURST. N. j., Aug. 90
Washington's "leathernecks," the
5th Battalion of the Marine Corps
Reserves. were warned by their
veteran commander yesterday that
their l5-day field training period
here may be their last training be-
fore long stretch of active duty.
1t. Col. Harvey L. Miller, a World
War Marine, who served in many
posts Of the Orient and Latin
America, also declared that the re-
serve outfit must learn to f1t into
the picture created by regulars of
the corps-snd are apparently cap
able of doing so. He pointed to the
sudden and successful shift of the
battalion's training site from Guam
tico, Va, to Lakehurst, as an ex-
ample of corps mobility.
At daybreak yesterday Company
D began firing on the .30-caliber
rife range. under Capt. John E.
Fondahl The first week will be
mostly devoted to target work, with
all companies at the range firing
for record. Automatic rifles. ma
chine guns and 81 millimeter field
pieces also are to be fired. Training
in use of grenades. both hand and
rife types, is scheduled.
During the second week combat
problems will fill the schedule. Men
will take part in squad, platoon.

vers, involving day and night at
tacks. defense, advance and rear
guard actions. Withdrawals and de-
laying action.
The force is in the pink of con-
dition for maneuvers. according to
1t. Comdr. Don S. Knowlton, bat
talon surgeon. He said that the
battalion has rejected out Of every
10 applicants for enlistment, and
thus represents the top 20 per cent.
He declared that in IL years Of
annual field training there have
been no major hospital cases and
no cases of any kind due directly TO

complete truck transportation would

complete truck transportation would
be good thing. There is the prob
lem of cluttering up the roads which,
even with the limited motor trans
portation of World War days, often
became impossible. Also men on
their feet with their rifles over their
shoulders can 60 into action quicker
than those packed into trucks.
The mule drawn ammunition
wagons, from time immemorial a
fixed feature of infantry operations.
have been eliminated and this. say
the officers, constitutes one disad-
vantage of the old system. The
mules simply couldn't keep up with
the trucks and the ammunition
would be far in the rear when it was
needed. But the truck cannot pen
citrate thickly wooded country
through which the mule can make
his way.
This means that men must take
the place of mules. carrying the am
munition and the heavy weapons on
their backs from the place where the
| trucks are halted. This labor might
more than offset the ease of riding
But the four-wheel-drive trucks
themselves, now part of standard
infantry equipment, are almost
ideally adapted to rough country and
can go over some very bad terrain
Well-groomed woodlands might not
even stop them, but they would have
to halt before a thick growth of
scrub pine, through which a mule
with pack on its back might make
its way with difficulty
Harder Hitting Outfit.
The new infantry regiment is be-
ieved to be a far faster and harder
hitting outfit than the old. Practi-
cally all Regular Army infantry in
the Continental United States is now
organized in this manner and most
of the National Guard outfits prob
ably will conform to the pattern in
the next few years. 1t does not de-
pend so much on manpoWer or in
dividual rifle fire, although it must
rely on this in the last analysis. But
as in most fields of human activity,
men are needed now to run machines
and one death-dealing machine can
do the work of a lot of men. Too
many soldiers would clutter up the
works.
One result is that a company will
have a war strength of only 165 men
as an absolute limit. This compares
with q World War strength of ap-
proximately $50 men. With the ma
chimes and the mobility of move
ment required, the old company
would be impossibly clumsy. Now the
time of officers and non-commis-
stoned officers can be given over to
highly skilled technical tasks in
stead of looking after stragglers and
attending to the needs of individu-
ais. There will be few men who are
not specialists in some particular
job, thus the personnel requires lit
tie looking after.
About the only thing that hasn't
changed, say the officers, is the fun
damental purpose of the infantry
as the backbone of the Army in any
battle-the boys who must really
take it on the chin and upon whose
efficiency and morale depends the
outcome.

Promotions Authority Urged.
The Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee recommended that President
Roosevelt be granted emergency au-
thority to make temporary promo
tions of Regular Army officers, a
power previously limited to time of
war. The Chief Executive was said
already to have such authority for
the National Guard and Reserves.
The Appropriations Committee
report contained testimony from
Maj. Gen. H. H. Arnold chief of the
Army Air Corps. and other officers
as we'll as from Admiral Furlong.
Gen. Arnold said consideration
similar to those Admiral Furlong
described had held up contracts for
4,200 airplanes. although 'it looks

The argument that this world can
be converted to peaceful sanity
within one generation by Christians
vigorously acting according to their
faith was advanced last night by
two prominent Washingtonians-
Bishop Joseph M. Corrigan of Cath
olic University and United States
District Attorney Edward NJ Curran
Speaking before more than 400
young alumnae at banquet in the
Mayfower Hotel, Mr.. Curran said:
Our real hope for a revival of the
spirit Of religion lies with the on
coming generation. You have the
faith and the elements of intellec-
tual and moral culture. In your
veins is the blood which in other
lands ard other centuries has nour-
ished the spirit of martyrs, heroes,
saints.
IT you fail, you will fail like all
who have failed-not because of lack
Of knowledge, but because of lack of
will to carry out the cause you know
to be correct"
Women's Role Stressed.
Bishop Corrigan added that the
Catholic women of culture must be a
powerful instrument in bringing
back to the world the love of neigh
Dor. THAT love alone can rise above
national lines" he said.
The United States attorney en-
phasized that trip to Christian
lied world would of necessity be a
long one.
What manner of world is this?"
he asked. "A world of greed, lust
