Mr, Lansing attended today's cabi- net meeting by speecific invitation of President, Wilson. He was not pres- cnt at the opening of the session, tak- ing the ground, as it was expressed at the state department that he chould not attend unless invited, in ijew of the ad interim nature of his 2rpointment in charge or the state department. The president solved lhe question immediately by asking him to attend. ‘While the state department had no advices from' Ambassador Gerard that the American note o Germany had been received in Beurlin, - they as- officials, the war departmeént intends to have at hand means to enforce any instructions that may 'be given by President Wilson, ' The regiments af- fected are the Piftéenth Cavalry at Forth Bliss, Tex., the Twenty Sev- énth Infantry at JFalveston, and the Ninth Cavalry at Fort Douglas, Ariz.

SAUSKELONIS LOSES IN SUPREME COURT Famous Bond Forfeiture Case 1s De- cided in Favor of City of New Britain Today. The supréme court of Connecticut had upheld the court of common pleas in its decision in the case of Peter Sausekelonis against Sergeant Theodore Herting et al. of this city, in the famous bond forfeiture case which created considerable attention several”years ago. The plaintiff in the case was rested by Policeman James Skelly, . a charge of breach of the peace. The arrest was made in the evening when the judge or clerk was not present. A bond was filed with the sergeant and on the following morning Sausk>. lonis, failed to put in an appearance He, hawever, presented himself at the police station the following day and demanded the reopening of the boni on ground that he had justification in not appearing on the marning of | the trial. He then brought suit-and the case in the court :6f common it was' decided -against him. * The plaintiff claimed that the sum given at the police court for his release was not a bond as it had bee imprison « ment and he had not been admitted to bail by the police court. His attor- | ney then, brought action on grounds of error. Judge Roraback says of the case: “What he (Sauskelonis), did was done voluntari! He must have presumed to know the law and knows that the bail taken in this mat- ter was legal. He must have pre- sumed to have known that the bail ! given for his appearance wquld, upon his failure.to appear, be forfeited. He thus obtained his release by consent- ing that upon failure to appear the obligation he had entered into should become ' absolute. Whatever illegal- ity existed in the fixing and taking | of the bond he waived. He agreed that the farfeiture by the proper au- thority would follow his non-appear- ance. ' He cannot' now questian the integrity of the proceedings taken at his own instance. Moreaver, when he moved to.opén the forfeiture he had had hisday in court to press the claim he now makes; he then made |no such claim. - There is no error.” Chief Judge Prentice and Justice Thayer dissent fram so much of the opinion that the bail was not properly fixed.

New York, June 11.—Shares of tie Pacific Mail Steamship company were strong today, ad- 22 a week again active and vancing to 31 as against 280. The rise was associated with the proposed severance of the company's relations with the Southern Pacific company which controls Pacific Mail tarough stock ownership. This step, according to statéments by officials, probably will be followed by the sale or lease of the Southern Pacific com- pany’s holdings, including a number of vessels and real estate, on terms favorable to the shareholders. MARSHALL APPROVES NOTE. Indianapolis, Ind., June 11.—"I have read with a very great deal of pleasure and satisfaction, today, the official communication to the German gov- ernment,” said Vice-President Marshall “I 'shall be greatly surprised if there shall be found any large mumber of men who do not fully approve of its tone and contents. The president is meeting conditions, and no matter how much ‘we may all desire and universal peace, conditions are not changed by such desires. He speaks the voice of our common humanity, And I shall be greatly disappointed if the German government d®es not coincide with his views." Hint for England. (Westerly Sun.) Perhaps there has been no achieve- ment thus far in the European war that has been more spectacular than the recent battle in the clouds, a David and Goliath contest, in which the daring Lieutenant Warneford the British navy destroyed a German Zeppelin by a bomb while flying 6, 000 feet above the carth. In his phenomenal victory over his bigger but more sluggish adversar Lieutenant Warneford has demon- strated to England and to the world the same lesson that Germany has already taught by the use of her sub- marines The comparison is apt. The evasive movements of the sub- marines have since the beginning of the war caused terror to the formid- able cruisers of the armored class, and one after another the big ships have been sunk since the inaugura- tion of the submarine campaign. With only the periscope to guide their aim the gunners on the cruisers have been baffled, completely unabel to --cope with their frail enemies. Lieutenant Warneford's victory gives ample evidence of the super- iority of the smaller aeroplane to the more cumbersome Zeppelin. He has shown that the monoplane, like a submarine, can work more effective- Iy. ‘England should profit by the Zep- pelin defeat and equip herself with a competent fleet of flying machines of the smaller type, thus affording better protection from the raids of German Zeppelins. | that it was definite arbitration | of | HARTFORD BUITS FOR STOUT WOMEN A SPECIALTY Wear Good Clothes Young Man gone by dresses | The day when the y6ung man has long since who well was made a fop or_ a dude. i Successful men realize the value of | sood clothee.
