For instance if there ‘rumor of any particular action to en the New Yorksextras im- mediately conclude that it will be Bone by the time they can get out on the street so they print it as news nd the next day it is ‘denied and so h. It is impossible for a New York paper to get any'news, publish it and end the papers:to’ New Britain be- 'ore the Herald can be published. The ‘war news.is received over the Herald wire the same time that 1t received over the wire of the World” orsthe “Journal” and it must be apparent that it takestime to make p & papersthere, send it to New Brit- ain and that the information cannot e given outthere before it is given by the paper that had the news the same me it wasqreceived in New York.

[ ¥ .UM’ MAIL SERVICE. «The Courant” takes this occasion record the arrival at this office yes- rday afternoon of the “New Britain rald,” th orwalk Hour” and the iNorwalk Sertinel,” which were pubs ed. Saturday afternoon, August 1. will be fair, though, and admit it was a 1914.date.

New Haven road, the rural free de- livery wagon had been heard from regularly and so far the war has not affected transportation in Connecti- cut, There has been more or trouble in Norwalk ever since solidation was adppted, but that 1s no reason why,its newspapers should get off the track, be gone for two days and then turn up probably with the wrapper gone. In New Britain such matters have been heard and the mail service, which run on an econvmical basis, has been censured. The trolley means of car- rying mail has been abandoned in some sections of the state. Is it pos- sible that snail service has been sub- stituted? gone astray on their an- de- less con- of before is now ENGLAND IN IT NOW. All Europe war, is now in a state of England being the last to ex- press its determination to participate in the struggle. It has tried to keep out of it, but has not been able to do 80, the attitude of Germany render- ing it impossible, The now lined up are: England, France, Russia and Servia on one side apd Germany and Austria on the other. It does not seem .as if there can be any doubt as to how such a contest will end. Much money has been voted the participants. and if they finally meet on the fleld of battle, as now seems certain, there will hard- ly be much left to fight over when Burope is cleared of the dead and the Wreckngé It looks as if this war is necessary, however, to cool off some of the belligerents and that Germany is in for a beating such as the world has never known. It does not appear ' that it can be avoided. It is hemmed in by Russia and France and it is now to be at- tacked on its seaboard by the power- ful navy of England. Germany has a splendid army of trailned soldfers and the -emperor will' have to be thoroughly beaten before he will sur- render and there will have to be some serioys / fighting done before that can be accomplisheds The ddds are against him now, but he is a soldier, a man of intelligence and there is no escaping the fact that the struggle will be to the death. J Thé*preparations for war are be- ing cautiously made; England has called home the - glant express steamer, Lusitania, the vessel leaving countries ‘her dock at midnight last night with-| a small number of passengers, and’ it is expected that the ship will be used by England to send soldiers to the continent, It has been said that Ger- man crujsers = are out' near Sandy Hook, that when beyond three miles this country has no jurisdiction and the cruisers will be at liberty to at- tack all unfriendly vessels flying the flag of any of the countries at war. England)s declaration included the ordeys to the British fleet in the North Sea to capture or destroy the enemy. The passenger steamers are sailing with their lights out so as not to attract attention and the great- est precautions are being taken to avoid the vessels of all unfriendly nations. A sea fight seems imminent and it will be fortunate if some in- nocent people do not lose théir lives in attempting to reagh home or some place of safety. Sorx experts are of the opinion that the War will be a sea affatr and it will be to|a large extent, but it also seems as if when the great armies meet that the real slaughter will take place, The forces are so numerous, the engines of destruction now used in modern warfare are so powerful that nothing short of com- plete ~annihilation or surrender will be the result. The German.amperor will be held responsible for it all and his country will not recover from it for a long time, BRIDGEPORT DIVIDED, “In the democratic fleld for the gubernBtorial nomination it is said the purity league will support Lieu- tenant Governor Lyman Tingier for the nomination, while the organiza- tion will line up behind George M. Landers of New Britain.”"—Bridge- port Telegram. What in the world is the matter with the purity leagye? Is its name a misnomer, or has it come int® being for the sole purpose of dividing the Bridgeport democracy? The boom for Mr. Tingler was started in Winsted and goodness knows that fs no place for a democrat to begin campaigning.

FACTS AND FANCIES. A Nevada woman made a safety de- posit box of her stove and wren she built a fire burned $50 in currency, ruined a $50 watch and melted $14 in silver coins, The stove is a poor place for treasures.—Norwich Bulle- tin. It is perhaps a little early for school children to become excited over the possibility that teacher, who was to spend the summer traveling in Bur- ope, may not get back in time for the cpening of school—New Haven Reg- ister. It will be a corking a1 for Meriden to be known as a city of good streets. The vast armies af automobilists know cities mostly by the condition of their highways just as the seafarer praises or condemns a port according to its harbor. The autoist has become too large ctor to be overlooked, so all enterprising communities are catering tc him and, at the same time, greatly benefiting themselves in a lot more ways than from this viewpoint.——Meri- den Journal. 5 Now there’s a scheme afoot to reduce the price of lawyers' services to bar- gain rates fostered by youthful mem- bers of tHe bar in this city. -If the lawyers will j#t play “on the square’” with their clients, promptly squelch all attempts to fleece laymen whether practised by real lawyers or those who dabble in the game, the prices for law service in this commupity will be considered reasonable enough by the public and there’ll be no need for as- sociations to offer cut rates.—Water- bury Republicap. In Massachusetts preparations are being made to. enforce a law which covers the cases of people who leave their homes and make no provision for their pet cats. The practice is a cruel one—for the cats often die of starvation. These animals are sing- vlarly: attathed to localities, and are not capable of taking care of them- selves in neighborhoods where food is not placed before them regularly. £he abandonment of the pets may be due to thoughtlessness, but whatever the reason offered may be, there is no valid excuse for condemning them to slow death.—Providence Journal. Is there any limit to rowdyism, any point at which street gamins of unfor- tunate paréntage and no training will stop in plotting against the peace and tomfort of lenient and half-governed cities? Boston must doubt it. The lat- est outrage, the planting of dynamite on railroad tracks by Hyde Park boys who had stolen fifty pounds of the ex- plosive, is the most serious of a number of accidents which call for a study, of hoodlumism and strict meas- ures to prevent it. Boston and a num- ber of other Massachusetts cities, in- cluding Brockton, are breeding hood- lums faster than the jails and reform- atories can grow.—Brockton Times. Jules Verne’s Dream. (Philadelphia Ledger.) Underwater craft ‘have made marked progress since those early days-when the first Holland boat dived clumsily, like a rheumatic porpoise, and the first Lake boat bowled merrily along, like an ocean wagon, on the smooth shore of the Atlantic between Sandy Hook and the capes of the Chesapeake. We have now a fair fleet of submarines—thirty-one afloat snd twenty-one building. A squadron of these invisible fighters guards each entrance to the Panama canal In size, recent subhmarines approach that of small gunboats and destroyers. Great Britain has six of 1,200 tons dis- piacement; Germany six of 1,000 tons, and France two of 1,043 tons. The crevis,of such a boat range from thirty to forty men. Thus far no nation has ventured to gend its submarines out to serve on the high seas. -They have been always relatively small boats for coast de- fense, driven by gasoline engines on the surface and. by electric power when submerged. Now, however, Jules Verne's dream of the Nautilus, under Captain Nemo, is to be realized in ~the advent of the submarine crulser which—on the surface in peace and submerged in action—will sccompany battle fleets on the oceans of the world. The British navy is the pioneer in this development. While the details are carefully guarded, the general view of naval experts is that the projected vessels are to be of about 1,500 tons displacement and twenty-one knots surface speed, and they will be fitted with five or six torpedo tubes for underwater attack and two twelve-pounder guns for re- pelling aerial craft. The submerged Lattle speed of these vessels should not be less than fifteen knots. Our navy department is meeting thls ad- vance in the project of an experimen- tal sea-going submarine, for which the uaval appropriation bill carries an ap-° propriation of $1,100.000. The chief difficulty to be met is that of under- water driving at the high speed de- manded. Electric propulsion, owing to the bulk and weight of the neces- sary storage batteries, may have to be abandoned. This development, if successfully effected, foreshadows another radical change--the disappearance of the torpedo boat destroyer, which the sub- marine cruiser, when in action on the surface, should replace. ' In futur naval! actions the’ combatant- vessels would then be battieships onfthe sur- ce, submarine cruisers below it, and acroplanes and dirigibles above, -in which the chief enemies of the suh- arines woum be'the, aerial eyui ¥rom hi “#he aviator, readily detedt j\’fnorged Bodies, owing to his treedom from the effect of re- @eted light =t the surface .of the wafer, 2% {WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald office. The Washington Monument. (Providence Journal.) Colorado has just contributed her tablet of stone to the interior walls of | the Washington Monument, choosing | “Colorado Day,” last Saturday, the thirty-eighth anniversary of the ad- sion of the state to the Union, for | ceremonies of dedication. The | noble obelisk, as one of the orators | expressed it, not only ‘“typifies the | reverence of a great people for the name, and their gratitude for the achievements, of their most illus- trious character,”” but is the “emblem | of the sisterhood of states.” The lat- | ter idea has been accentuated by the | happy thought of having all the states | furnish blocks of their native stone ! for the finish of the interior walls. Most of the states accepted this in- vitation in season to have their tablets incorporated during the later stagos'' of the tedious progress of the monu- ment toward completion. Colorado, evidently, overloolked it, although the monument was not finished for some | vears after her admission. These | stones are only in the way of decora- tion, of course, Maryland marble was chosen for the construction of the morument. This was convenient, and competition was less keen for such a | distinction than it would be today. The work was begun as long ago as 1848, although not completed until 1884. The two-million dollar Lin- coln Memorial in the capital city wili be carved out of Colorado marble, and it is a spotless white block of this ma-~ terial which has now been placed in the Washington Monument— sculp- tured with the coat of arms of the Centennial state, the name and the date of admission. There may be some states still un- Tepresented among the memorials which €ontribute’to the symbolism of this unique national structure—the lofiest masonry pile in the world. The Eonvicts’ Day Off. (New York World.) * Warden McCormick’s plan of giv- ing Sing Sing prisoners a “day off’ every week has worked so well that 1t | will probably be made a permaneat feature of prison reform. On Sunday from 7 A. M. to 4:30 in the afternoon, the prisoners are granted the free- dom of the prison yard, with liberty to loat or read or play tennis or in- | dulge in any rational recreation. And instead of eating in their cells they | sit down together to a hot dinner in the mess hall. An immediate resuit | of the relaxation of discipline for the | day has been a 33 per cent, improve- ment in their shop work. That means a 33 per cent. improve- ment’in their health and vitality as well, and a proportionate increase in their interest in life. Nothing tones up the ordinary man so well as the leisure that comes as the reward of work, and the incentive should have the same effect with men in prison. Perhaps it will incidentally reduce the addiction to drugs, fhe alarming growth of which has'raised a new problem of penology. But without attempting to measure the material benefit to prisoners of a day of real leisure, the plan has much to commend it on the score of huj - ity and enlightened prison administra- tion. The purpose of prison confine- ment is not merely to punish but to reclaim, and an excellent way:to that end is to counteract discontent and | despair in the prison by just such means of healthfu] recreation as the Sing Sing convicts now have, John's Job. (New York Globe.) Two washerwomen were one day telling of the progress made by their various lads in their chosen work. “Tell me, Mrs. Casey,” asked Mrs. Clancy, “what's your son John doing now?” “John's on the stage—he’s a light comedian,” answered Mrs. Casey. “Ye don't tell me!” exclaimed Mrs. Clancy. “And would ye moind tellin’ me what a ‘light comedian’ is?"” “Well,” explained Mrs. Casey, “in me son’s case It's this: He plays a silent part behind a black curtain with his mouth to a hole, and in front is a candle, and when Alkali Al shoots at the candle John blows it out.” Baseball in Ohio Prisons. (Cleveland Plain Dealer.) Ohio claims to be the first state to put baseball regularly on the list of recreations in its penitentiary. Ohio has the only convict team that ever played a professional league team. Prison officials in Ohio have found for years that baseball is a great aid in discipline. That same claim is now advanced by the new warden of Sing Sing. Only good-convict prisoners can take part in the game. This offers a premium, in personal enjoyment, for those who do not offend. It has brought continuing and substantial results. As Ohio claims to have been the leader in baseball, so it claims leader- ship in other prison ideas. Stripes have been abolished, save When a prisoner puts them on himself by his own persistent misconduct. The “sol- * has gone; comvict lgpor is no (Convicts are given® a fair ; the rule of reason ha super- wétpule of force.

Some say that the sound is caused by the action of the wind and others that it is the result of changes in temperature, Professor Field of the Unjversity of Gttawa says that neither of these ex- planations is correct, but that the sound is due to the vibrations of the rth. The vibrations of the earth are nsmitted to the wires through’ the poles. This authority further states that the song of the wires is the song of the barometer and that the varia- tions are in direct relation to varia- tions of the weather. Chances in the wibration of the earth indicate ap- the atmosphere. If the sound of the wires is low it is probable that the weather will change in a day or two, but if it is sharp a momentary change may be expected. Borax and the Fly. (Detroit: Free Press.) The United States department, agriculture has for long 'been invi gating the problem of how to prevent the breeding of flies in household and stabte refuse. One of the points to be considered has been how to apply to refuse some ‘fly-killing agent which would not destroy the refuse agia fer- tilizing agent by making it idaurlous to crops or soil. It is now announced that the whole question has been solved by tHe ap- plication of borax to the gefuse. Liberally coating the refuse daily with borax will, it issaid, stop the prodiic- tion of fiies and will not le#en the value of the stuff ag'a stlm\nunt to and crops. Just howfthe-agent works s not made clear in the départment outgiving—whether it' strangles the fly, or makes garbage unpalatable to it or merely makes it sneeze its fool head off is not stated.™ The value of the grescnpémn 1s open to question, too. Borax in suffi- J cient quantities to cover barnyard’ heaps daily with even the thinnest of coatings is expensive enough to create another mortgage on the old ‘farm. This fact will cause the: depdftment’s advice to be taken by only tHgse hav- ing occasional small -byckets of. table garbage. One such petson réports giving the borax treatment a trial. track borax all over the butter-bowl at every meal and seem to be rather moregill-tems cred than usual, while he O notice any nur(‘as(‘d‘ among them. Those who want to fight flies effec- tively will find the starVing plan the most effective. Don't feed flies garbage, Screen every- thing, even to the slop bucket. Bury refuse early and often. Keep .barn- vard accumulations on the wagon ready for transport to the fields rather than scattered about. Finding nothing to eat will discoufage and’ kill all the flies in any neighborhood - in short order. . LOCAL FISHERMEN FINED IN HARTFORD One of Them, Wadislaw Caliske, Was Arrested By Officer Meehan Two Woeks Ago. Stanislaw Smolensre, of 64 Orange street, and Wadislaw Caliske, of 56 Grove street, were before Judge David A. Wilson, in Hartford, charged with violating the Hartford city ordinances by fishing in No. 4 reservoir. They both pleaded gu:ity. Caliske is one of the three men who were arrested by Officer Patrick Mee- han as chicken thief suspects. At the time Officer Meehan rounded them up them were camping on the bunks of this reservoir and they ty'd Judge Meskill in court that they had been fishing there. The two New Britain men were ar- rested in the act of fishing in the re- servoir and.at the time had suc- ceeded in landing a fair-sized bull head, a minutesperch and a roach about three inches long. The two men told the Hartford court the same story that they told Judge Meskill, saying that they had no work and in order to obtain food they were com- pelled to “fish for it.” Neither of the two mer made any attempt to deny the charges against yesterday, them and admitted fishing at this re- ’ servoir frequently. Judge Wilson im- posed a fine of $2 and costs on/each and placed them on probation until it is paid.

The syndicate today obtained’ the permission of the British govern- ment for the vessel to sail'on Mon- day from Liverpool on its first. trip. 1t% is understood the Viking will fly the Stars und Stripes. She is to make as many trips as possible. Many Wealthy Persons, Among the 240 cabin passengers and the 1,000 Americans going in the steerage on board the Philadelphia, sailing today are many wealthy per- sons. Enormous premiums were of- fered for tickets by anxious would-be passengers. One speculator offered Charles Aldrich and family of Cleve- land $1,000 for their room, or $500 if they allowed him to travel with them. Martin Vogel, United States sub-treasurer at New York, with his bride were also among the passen- gers. They said they were in Berlin five days ago, and “The Germans were parading the strets as though cele- brating victory Later on they passed through Paris, whepe they,;said “The contrast was marvelous. The atmospfiere was quiet but tense.” 4 John A, Wilson, a cousin of the president. and William H. Porter, who is connected with J. P. Morgan & Co., also were on board. French Assisting Foreigners.
