The question of govern- ment ownership has entered into the case and it is an ar- gument against the bill. It would seem, however, if that is not the serious feature of the measure, al- thaugh the same cannot be said about | the purchase of the ships that are in- terned in certain ports. It would be an easy matter to discuss the bill as a general proposition were it not for the fact that the vessels in question as an on fa rmany a be being used as as are now owned by a country with other countries. This needs to preserve a spirit of neutral- ity in all matters, not only for the sake of the country itself but for the | at war country individual sympathy with the coun- tries at war. REILLY BANQUETED. Congressman Reilly was given a testimonial banquet in New Haven last evening which showed how well he is thought of by the leaders in his | aistrict and in congress, among those coming to participate in the honoring the new democratic house leader, who made a highly complimentary speech at the reception, he being a personal friend of the congressman.

Middletown, no with one election than it plates another, is having its atten- tion turned from the present to the future by the mention of Professor Willard C.

It is infinitely better for a young woman not to marry, to learn some business or profession and follow it through life, than to marry unfortu- nately. Probably a vast majority of marriages of convenience, or sup- posed ‘“necessity” as Professor Taft calls them, are unhappy Those that turn out well do so in spite of the heavy odds against such a chance. It goes without saying that most young women wha marry for convenience, or because they don't know what else to do to secure “a future,” make at least two people unhappy and some- times a great many more New Ha- ven Union. The Parson Calls on Pa. (Edgar A. Guest in Detroit Free Press) The other night our doorbell rang, an’ Ma said: ‘““Mercy me I haven't asked a soul to come. Who- ever can it be?” An’ Pa got up and lit the light in our reception hall An’ found it was the minister come to pay a call. who'd Pa showed him to our easy chair, an’ took his coat and hat An’ said as how he long had wished to sit with him an’ chat. They talked about the dreadful war, an’ told if they were kings Just how much better they would run all governmental things. An’ then the minister remarked: “Our church is decp in debt, I'm calling on our business men to scc if they will get Behind a movement to relieve the aw- ful load we bear, An’ it occurred to me that you would like to do your share.” An’ then he pulled a paper from his pocket an’ he said: “I'll read the names of those who've signed.” And Pa said “Go ahead!” “These men,” the minister explainea, ;‘don’t give in large amounts, It's not the splendor of the gift, how you give that counts.” but An’ Pa was just as nice as pie, his voice was sweet an’ low, He told the parson he was glad he came to let him know; ‘“You should have stirred me up be- fore. It isn’t right,” said he, “That with so many prosperous men a church in debt should be. “Though T am not a wealthy man, I'll gladly do my share, Just pass that list an” T will sign.” The parson showed him where. “Will fifty dollars help?” said he. The parson said it would. An’ made a speech exalting Pa for do- ing what he could. But when the minister had gone, Pa tormed about the place An’ sald: “I knew it all the %ime; read it in his faece.” “Knew what?” said Ma, “Knew this," said Pa, “O, he can't fool me much, The moment that he stepped inside I knew he'd make a touch.” I “You seemed real glad to sign name,” said Ma You didn’t word to him to let him know didn’t want to pay.” Pa gave the cat a shove that sent him flying from the couch, An’ said: “I 'spose vou'd like to have him think that I'm a grouch!" your say A you Biting Judge Gary's (New York The East Side Neighborhood asso- ciation forum was willing to accent the plan of Elbert H.

Never before was the folly of s prejudice more glaringly caled. Judge Gary has contributed some- thing better than money to the solu. that confronts New York.

A writer in the Berlin Tageblatt says a common Trish name is Cashel, “which ie really Abyssinian.”” As a matter of fact, the word, which occurs in the names of a great many townlands in Jreland, means a stone fort; it has no more to do with Abyssinia than with Germany or Van Diemen’s Land.
