The war in Europe has opened the fray for Americans to engage in an ndustry that up to the present time been confined largely to Ger- jany. It is stated that if the war ontinues there will be a scarcity of creign toys for Christmas. This class ¢ goods is shipped to this country t this time every vear, but there have been no shipments thus far, because the fear they may be confiscated rd the manufacturers are keeping hem at home, There must be a great cal of idle capital lying around loose In this country, and the scarcity of . which includes wooden soldiers, of a similar MANUFAC- as T a and other articles should suggest a business that clls hature, lucrative for Germany on he other side. An examination of he records show that of the toys brought to America from abroad, the reat preponderance are from Ger- nany. In the year 1911 the value of he toy importations into the United tates, according to government sta- istics, was $8,151,033. In 1912, for pme reason or other, the total fell off 27,409, but last vear it jumped than a million dollars, with a as proven Last year during the month of ugust there were received into the nited States toys valued at $1,405,- | of which Germany and other countries only | 333,147. In September of 1913 Ger- ny's contribution was $1,671,928, hile other countries sent $145,625 vorth, so that in the months of Au‘ ust and September combined last ear the toy importations amounted to 5,223,137 in value, or more than one- hird of the supply received during ie entire year, and Germany’s part in his total was nearly three mil- lions. Last year was a banner year in he amount of toys imported from ermany, and the buying this year as on a still more lavish scale. 1t may be some time before Ger- any will be able to handle this busi- ness successfully again, and in the eantime the demand might well be katisfied by American business enter- ;rise, either on the part of those who re engaged in that business or have e means to build new factories and lo the work themselves. The fact hat there is a market for this class bt goods in this country and there is 0 one ghroad to meet it should be for Americans to 84, 1,272,437 centive enough each out for it. NO BALL GAME YESTERDAY. No effort was madé to play the jame of ball advertised between New Pritain and Pittsfield at Electric field esterday. It was sald Saturday that Ihe zame had been abandoned but hat the interesting feature of the Fhole affair is why it was announced the first place when it must have leen known that it would not be per- pitted, vet a little further away game was played on Woodford's 1d without interference, presuma- y because it ir and not a professional game as ould have been the result had the ontest at Electric fleld taken place. is is surely beating the devil round the bush. The Herald explained a few days go that baseball will not be played Electric fleld while the law re- ains as it is at present, while the Jainville officials are of the same pinion as they are now and the Rev. r. Grant continues to be a resident It that town. People who have udied the situation as it concerns he state say that it is peculiar that aseball should be allowed in some ties= and not. in.others While all o living under the same law, It all pends on the attitude of the au- orities. just as does the question wiving boxing exhibitions. There bes not appear to be any opposition | amateur ball games on Sunday, in ct the law sanctions them under rtain conditions; it even says they ay be played on public parks and om the standpoint of the game it- glf it can be said without much nce of contradiction that some of was an amateur af- contributed | tween the two places, but that does not seem to satisfy the state. It looks as if the/ fans in this vicinity must wait forgprofessional ball Sunday until after the legislature meets. Perhaps that body may do somethings about it. on McGRAWj CRITICISES UMPIRES. What is¢in reality a compliment for Thomas J. Lynch is contained in an interview) with Manager McGraw of the New/York Giants in “The World"” today when he says that the umpir- ing in'the National league this season is the worst he has seen In his twen- ty-five years' experience on the ball field. He says that some of the umpiires do not understand the rules andsrender decisions that are unjust. Mr.\McGraw has been sent from the field* himself more than once and he is probably smarting under the dis- cipline, but he is unquestionably right wheny he calls attention to the av- senceiof President Tener, who has been ' detained in Pennsylvania, but says that next year he will be more at liberty and will be able to give more time to baseball. When T. J. Lynch was president of the league he looked after the um- pires, saw that the best men were ob- tained and that they were given proper treatment on the ball fleld. No one accused them of being incom- petent, not even McGraw, who has been a regular offender.against dis- cipline and has been repeatedly sent to the bench. He says that he in- structed his men to abstain from um- pire baiting this year so that the um- pires could give satisfaction, but all to no avail, their services having been very incompetent. There were many people who predicted this result when Mr. Lynch was retired and the trutn of their statements is now being proven by no less an authority than the manager of the Giants, who have been champions of the national league for several years. SOME CIGARETTE FIGURES, The Literary Digest says that the hopeless handicap which cigarette | smoking puts on our youth impels C. ‘W. Baines to ask in the Philadelphia | Suhday Sehool Times whether it s | not about time that our Sunday ’lchuol leaders were beginning to | sound the warning against this habit. With its attendant evils, the saloon "and vice, he says, it is sapping | mental and moral stamina of Ameri- ca's young men, gnawing at the very vitals of their physical well-being. Teachers throughout the country, we read, recognize in the cigarette the school’s deadliest foe, and confess without reservation that they find it practically impossible to educate a cigarette smoking boy. Nor has Mr. Baines any toleration for the statement, as falaclous as it prevalent, that while cigarettes may | be harmful to.boys, they do not In- Jure young men. He cites from the records of Harvard university the fact that for fifty years not one tobac- co user has stood at the head of his class, although five out of six Harvard students use the weed. On the whole, according to him, cigarettes hurt in some way every one who smokes them is on the increase, as one may judge from the government report which shows that in 1913 we consumed the amazing number. of 14,530,486,200 cigarettes, an increase of 2,186,633,703 previous banner over the cigarette vear. “NEL” TAYLOR A SUICIDE. There are many who recall Nelson F. Taylor, who committed suicide in Berlin yesterday, when he was a pretty fair type of a citizen, when he was the Pooh Bah of that little town, when he could have what he wanted there politically, when he was select- man, a member of the democratic state central committee, deputy sheriff and who, although a small man phy- sically, had the courage of a giant, Domestic troubels were his undoing and once he started to go down his fall was rapid and complete. He was not the same man of late years that he used to be and his end has come as some predicted. He had been out of the public eye for so long a period that he has been practically forgot- ten. . It is strange that he should come back to the old town tq kill himself. No one ever thought he would do that, even though they said he would take his life, and vet there is no tell- ing what a man will do who has tast- ed of some of the successes of life and then loses them all because of his own weakness, ‘Were Sheriff Miles B. Preston alive today he would say that “Nel" T; lor was one of his best deputies and there are many who knew him in those days who will also remember him as one of the pluckiest. ‘Well, there is one thing this wa: ball played by amateurs is better |. n that often played by professional s, but that is mot the way, the » at it.

War's Effect on « York Indication that the rush abroad of foreigners to service under the colors of the countries engaged in war will by no means be as large as has been predicted in some quarte fur- nished by a big jump in business at the federal and state naturalization bureaus. Apart from the fact that the cilities to transport abroad any great number of men are exceedingly limited, with most of the lines out of commission, the d nation to leave this country as shown in the naturalization activity is in- deed significant. It is not at all sur- prising, however. Most of the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who pour into United States every year come with the defi- rite idea of making their homes in this land of plenty and a few years' resi- dence here tends materially to loosen the ties that may have bound to the fatherland. They find work at good wages, and opportunities to edu- cate their children and bring up their families in comfort that were denied them in the old countr The clink of money which spells peaceful prosperity is sweeter music to their ears than the clank of arms, which means hunger and ruin and devastation. And unless the incentive to take up arms and leave comfortable homes for the un- certainties they must face is born of undeniable duty to loved ones left be- hind across the seas, they are like- ly to hesitate before taking a step so fraught with grave probabilities. Our immigrants are of the working class and this class go to war only be- cause it is forced on them. They prefer peace, and having found it here most of them remain. We wel- comed them with open arms when they came, and we much prefer their company to their room. We need their willing hands to aid in fur- ther building up the prosperity of their adopted country, and we are glad so many of them realize that the peace and prosperity they now enjoy are blessings not lightly to be cast aside. Immigration. w Globe.) Making the Ohio Wait, (Pittsburg Dispatch.) Chgdrman Sparkman of the rivers and harbors committee has is- sued a warning that if the rivers and harbors appropriation bill fails ot passage at this session much of the work on the Ohio river will be de- layed indefinitely. The decision of the senate to lay the bill aside and give precedence to the administra- tion’s anti-trust bills has placed the meritorious projects in the waterway bill in grave peril. If the trust legis- lation can be disposed of it is feared thére will be little hope of keeping congress in session to pass the rivers bill. There is also an intimation that administration leaders would welcome the opportunity given by the failure of ‘this appropriation to claim a sav- ing in expenditures, already assuming extraordinary proportions. Such a claim would, of course, be mislead- ing because it would be merely a postponement of expenditure to next session and not a permanent reduc- tion. The political ‘purposes, however, are of less interest to the public than the effects of the postponement upon the river improvement program. The canalization of the Ohio has been adopted by congress as a national policy to be pressed to completion at a certain rate of progress. It has al- ready been delayed so often that a great national improvement which should have been completed years ago is still dragging along. The promise to hasten this work so that the great central valleys could share in the benefits of the opening of the Pana- ma canal has not been realized. Now it is threatened with further delay. The suggestion has been made that whether the rivers and harbors bill can be passed at this session there should be an emergency appropriation that would permit the continuing of work or the Ohio authorized by con- gress. There is no taint of ‘“‘pork™ about this project. It has been in- dorsed as a national program. Con- gress cannot honorably or consistent- ly obstruct it. Food For the Nations. (Cleveland Plain Dealer.) A problem of the war as important as the disposition of armies and the winning of battles is the finding of food for the nations. Russia alone of the great powers can produce her own food in abundance. France and Germany can save themselves from starvation by conserving and pro- tecting their own resources. But Great Britain must depend absolute- 1y on supplies from abroad. In the event of an effective blockade of the British coast the people would be brought to the point of starvation within a few weeks; Such a blockade is, thinkable. The British naval might is a strong assurance that British ports will be kept open. The sup- plies of the British overseas posses- sions, of the United States, and of South America will find a ready en- trance if they are brought to the British market. The only danger to such commerce will come from the prowlers of the sea. German commerce destroyers may be expected to lie in wait for the food carriers. It is to relieve ap- prehension from this source that the British government has officially an- nounced its guarantee of war risks on all wheat and flour shipments from Canada and the United States. Britain thereby asserts her faith in the strength of her navy not only to pro- tect the British coasts but also to make the Atlantic ocean safe to the world's commerce. Canada and the United States must be largely depended upon. Australia and South Africa are too far distant, of course, un- them | house* T ‘and the voyage from these domains is fraught with too great peril. With the north Atlantic ocean guarded by British ships and with a government guarantee against loss American ship- | pers will not hesitate to consign grain cargoes to British ports. The guar- antee is a wise war measure and one which will relieve the British nation of a danger far greater than that of German invasion. Death of Its Sting. roit Free Press.) Probably nothing serves to bring more forcibly to our minds the fact that we are arriving daily at greater sanity of living than the exhibition of saner burial methods, as shown by the displays of the Michigan under- takers at the Detroit armory. We can all remember when thoughts of death were inseparably connected with gloom. The sad images which Bryant conjured of “the stern agony, the breathless darkness and the narrow house,” have made us shudder and grow sick at heart for many vears. There are many people today to whom the sight of white flowers is always suggestive of a funeral wreath and even the odor of carnations or tuberoses brings to mind some neigh- borhood grief or family affliction. Comes word that the under- takers themselves are trying to stamp out the indefinable fear which has pervaded the funereal air. The tall hat, the frock coat, the black gloves are no longer the undertak- er's badges. Mourning emblems are being dispensed with when possible, and death, as far as outward mani. festations are concerned, is being robbed of its sting. Happily we all arrive at the point of using Walt Whitman's apt descrip- tion: “Thou loosener of that knot called Death.” In the meantime it is encouraging to note that Michigan undertakers are hereafter to be more cheéerful ob- jects to look at as they go on thefr rounds through the towns. No Debating. (Ansonia Sentinel.) Senator George M. Landers, demo- cratic candidate for governor, de- clines to enter into public debate with Prof. Fisher as to the relative merits of their causes. Senator Lan- ders is wise. Prof. Fisher is expert with the tongue and the Landers-Ma- han alliance is not engaged in a cam- paign of talk. They are engineers of a different school and when they ap- proach an enemy or an opposition candidate they do not use the mega- phone. Rather they incline to the use of the tunnel, the mine and strategic approach by the regular method of political engineering which accomplishes its purpose by tactful persuasion of the individual delegate and which regards public conversa- tion as a most useless and deadly thing. No! Senator Landers will not debate with Prof. Fisher. But he will show him when the day of the pri- maries comes round just how easy it is to roll up an imposing vote for a candidate, who has not opened his mouth during the campaign. Mobllization. (Philadelphia Public Ledger.) Mobilization in Europe is con- scription. Practically every able- bodied citizen must serve a term In the army. His assignment is known, he is on the army lists; unless he re- rorts he is considered a deserter. In Germany the mobilization order 1s issued by the emperor. It is im- mediately promulgated by all military and civil authorities, at home and abroad, Every individurs knows at once what to do. Skeleton regiments are filled out and additional regiments formed. Simultaneously there is a levy of horses. The order reaches in- to every household; into the factories, the shipyards, the hotels, the farms, river boats, everywhere. Almost in- stantly the male individuals within the prescribed ages must at once re- port to the barracks to come under military discipline, Infantry, cavalry und artillery units double and triple at once, This is the first step in mobilization. The second is the transportation and concentration of forces. The railways are seized, the telegraph and tele- phone systems, mail, military, aerial and railway services are assignea. The commissary lines are laid and transportation provided for. With marvelous efficiency the full fighting strength in front and rear is made ready and co-ordinated The psychological effect of mo- bilization is tremendous. In every household home ties are broken. The fields are stripped of men. Industry stops. Artillery rolls through the street, bands play. An atmosphere ot apprehension settles down on the country, Ordinary occupations cease; new conditions of life exist. Ana then the hours of anxiety ensue. There | is no village that does not expect its dead, The order of mobilization in war times is a portentous thunder clash in the ears of every human being, a warning that the harvest of death is about to be reaped, a sum- mons to anguish.

There are certain circles in this country where the most calamitous aspect of the war is regarded to be the influence on the price of champagne. We are gravely informed that there is about enough of that particular var- iety of wine in this country to last un- after New Year's, but after that im- .rted champagne will be but a mem- y. It is a dreadful thing that such a trous hour should be in store for those precious souls who find it dif- ficult to survive from day to day with- j the LAND PURCHASED FOR JEROME HOME Located on Coib:n Averuc—fund Now Exceeds $100,600. “The Home for Aged People,” which providea for by the will of the late Augustus of Hartford and who at one Britain, have pur- The trustees of was Jerome time lived chased several ac in New land on Cor- W, Williams and it s of bin avenue from Arthur for a site for the home derstood that more land is to be pur- is un- chased in the vicinity for the same purpose.

The last wife of a president to die in the White House was Mrs. Benja- min Harrison, who passed away a few weeks before the election of 1892, Her funeral was in the historic East Room, from which, in the course of a century, so many persons have been married. A number of presidents have been widowers during their term of office; others have had invalid wives. Mrs. Taft, although still a young woman, suffered a serious nervous breakdown shortly after her husband’'s inaugura- tion and has not yet fully regained her health Mrs, McKinley was a hopeless invalid, whose path in life was made much easier by the sedulous at- tention of her husband. His calmness under her inevitable vagaries brought out the essential sweetness of his character. She fell desperately ill in san Francisco on his famous Pacific coast trip, and her life for days was despaired of, to the abandonment of the journey. But she was destined to survive her husband by some years. Mrs. Hayes lived many years after her retirement from the White House, but passed away before her husband, whose plaint in his later days was: “Lucy has been gone too long.” BORN IN NEW HOUSE, Mrs. D. Peters gave birth to a child yesterday in her new home on Sey- mour street.

Frederick Keese Deciines Austraian Cal Frederick Ke Baptist of his sermon upon the Buropean strain, He took the matter from a social-religious Rev. the German last pastor church, Awelt in night war in a new standpoint and said that this struggle is the result of the Godle E people and was brought on by the devil, and not by 1ess of the ropean God. Pastor Will Stay Here, In connection with his sermon last evening the took occasion to inform his parishioners that he had accided to decline the offer of the Queensland, Australia, pastorate and will remain in this city. Among other reasons advanced for refusing to ac- cept the alluring proposal from the Antipodes Pastor Keese says that he feels that his work in this city is far from complete and that by staying Lere he can be of more service to mankind In his sermon pastor on the European situation Pastor Keese called particu- lar attention to the steady growth of all the nations during the past few years and said that each one, as a re- sult of the advances of the others, has been made jealous. From jealousy to hatred is but one step he said, and that is the cause of the war, The clergyman declared that all the rations of the old world may be termed guilty of the cause of this war and added that the general unrest and un-Godlessness of the people is an- other cause. But the war of today is a rod of discipline and are permitted by God to show the people the error of their ways. He called attention to the oppression of capital, particularly in the foreign countries, and also =aid that the so-called socialists have fol- lowed blind paths of unrighteousness, In conslusion Pastor Keese said: “We pray for all people: ‘Father forgive us mortals because we do not know what we are doing." " Prays for Germans. Taking for his text the forty-sixth psalm, Rev. Martin W. Gaudian preached a patriotic sermon yester- day morning at St. John's German Lutheran church, durigg which he de- clared that God will heed prayers for a German victory because the Ger- mans, as Christians, have confidence in His willingness to help them. Germany was obliged, in self de- fense, to enter into war with the other belligerents of the great Buropean war, said the pastor. God is the re- fuge of the Germans, and with his aid, they will conquer. Concurring with a wish which the German kaiser expressed, when he made public his proclamation of war, Rev. Mr. Gaudian, as the pastor of a German church, offered prayer for the success of the Germans. He also prayed for a speedy return of peace. PHYSICIAN SUES FOR FORECLOSURE Dr. Julius .Hupert Brings Action Against Francis Rogalski, Frank Salicki and Victoria Dul. Dr. Julius Hupert today brought foreclosure proceedings against Fran- cis Rogalski, Frank Salicki and Vic- toria Dul, claiming that they pur- chased property from him on January 25, 1913 and have not lived up to the terms of the sale. Constable Fred Winkle served notice on the de- tendants to appear before the superior court on the first Tuesday in Septem- ber. The papers were made out by Kirkham & Cooper. In his complaint against Rogalski, Salicki and Victoria Dul Dr. Hupert sets forth that he sold the property for $3,200, the money to be paid him in semi-ann installmentz. Ten in- stallments were to be of $110 each, ten more were to be of $150 each and the remaining three were to he of $200. Interest at six per cent, was to be paid on the balance not paid The physician claims that a re- ceiver should be appointed to take possession of the property in question and that a foreclosure be granted on the mortgage.
