The writ was served by Constable fore illegal, in conception and in na- ture, and intended to punish the ene- mies of Great Britain for alleged legalities on their part. States might not be in a position object to them if its interests and the interests of all neutrals are unaffected by them, but, being affected, it can- not with complacence suffer further subordination of its rights and inter- ests to the plea that the exceptional geogray-hic position of the enemies of Great Britain require or justify op- pressive and illegal practices. The government of the United States desires, therefore, to impress most engnestly, upon His Majesty's government that it must insist that the rc'ations between it and His government be governed, » policy of pediency, but by siablished rules which Great E in the past has held United States to account when the latter nation was a belligerent en- gaged in n struggle for national ex- istence.

HOCKING HEARING IN PRIZE COURT TODAY American Steamer Has Narrow Es- cape During Night at Halifax, N: S.—Anchor Drags. Halifax, N. 8, Nov. 8.—The pre- liminary hearing in the prize court of the case of the steamer Hocking, now flying the United States flag and belonging to the American Transat- lantic Steamship company, but whose original owner is said to have been a German coal merchant today. The Hocking and the Dutgh steam- er Hamborn were brought into port by British prize crews on October 31. The Hocking was captured while on a voyage from New York to Norfolk, Va. The seizure was due to the re- cent abrogation by Great Britain of article 57 of the Declaration of Lon- don. The Hocking had a narrow escape from serious mishap during the night. The steamer dragged her anchor dur- ing a heavy northeast blow, and was only secured by four tugs when she was close on the Dartmouth shore. She is now riding in a secure anchor- age. is set for RAPS MEDICAL FEES, Hartford, Nov. 8.—Compensation Commissioner George B. Chandler of the first district flled a decision today in the case of the contested bill of Dr. George S, Vaill, an oculist. in the claim of Oscar Peterson, No. 187 Preston street, against H. B. Beach and Sons. He cut the doctor’s bill down from $82 to $560, and in a lengthy memorandum had a good deal to say about medical fees in general. “The amount to be charged by the physiclan,” he observed, “is not to be determined by what the in- surance company or the industrial corporation is able to pay. It was the legislative purpose to safeguard the physician against loss under the :t, while preventing him from tak- ing undue advantage of it because of the large financial resources of In- surers or employers, the announcement purpose of Great Briain ‘“to exercise their belligerent right with every possible considera- tion for the interests of neutralty,” and of causing “the deast possible amount of inconvenience to persons engaged In legitimate trade,” would in practice not unjustifiably infringe upon the neutral rights of American citizens, F. B. BRUEMMER TO LEAVE FOR SOUTH To Be Associated in Y. M. C. A. Wel- fare Work With J. Herbert Wil- son and J. G. Eadie. Frederick D. Bruemmer of 638 Stanley street has accepted a position as assistant secretary under J. Herbert ‘Wilson, who is now the general wel- fare secretary of the DuPont Y. M. C. A. at City Point, Va. Mr. Wilson was formerly general secretary of the local Y. M. C. A. and J. G. Eadie, super- visor of playgrounds for the past two Years, has also accepted a position under Mr. Wilson, that of physical di- rector. Mr. Bruemmer will begin his duties in the south on Décember 1, but will leave New Britain about Thanksgiving. He has Yesigned his position in the contract department at P. & F. Cor- bin’s to take effect on November 20. Mr. Bruemmer has been steadily in the employ of this,concern for twelve and one-half years, going from the shipping room into the main office. He is a.prominent member of the Kenilworth club and is identified in Y. M. C. A. work, having been all- round athletic champion for three consecutive years. He is organist at the German Baptist church, belongs to the Masons, the Corbin, club and the Knights of Pythias. The DuPont powder plant employs about 16,000 men and runs night and day shifts.

NO CHANCE TO REACH COMMISSION RANK Tack of Vacancies in Gradoe of Second Lieutcnants in Regular Army Blow for Citizens., ‘Washington, Nov. 8 —Privates and ron-commissioned officers in the army will have no opportunity to reach the commission rank by competitive ex- amination in the immediate future, kecause of a lack of vacancies in the grade of second lieutenants.

No news of this situation’ has been conveyed by the war department to the various army departments. The only opportunity for private soldiers and civilians to obtain com- missions, therefore, probably will be afforded by legislation at the ap- proaching session of congress for the ircre e of the military establishment in accordance with the suggestions of President Wilson and Secretary Gar- rison.

J. S. Gurley pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church following a meeting of the congregation last evening, at which the matter was brought up by the pastor. The clergyman, however, stated that the members of his race and congrega- tion had no objection to the rest of the picture being shown providing the objectionable features are elim- inated. “I know that the city officials are a body of competent men who will not stand for anything that has a demoralizing effect on the public,” the preacher said. “If the theater managers attempt to put on these features which you object to, will you protest to the offi- cials?” asked a reporter. “Yes T will on behalf of my peo- ple. I do not think that it is for the best interests of the city to allow anything which is not for its better- ment, whether it affects the white race or the black -race,” Mr. Gurley said. The minister said that the members of his church were unanimous in their stand against allowing the ob- jectionable parts of the picture, HEARING ON BANNERS, Public Meeting Called to Discuss Ad- vertising Devices.

Wireless Volunteers, the fashion, the amateur wireless en- thusiasts are rushing to the defense of the nation. A National Amateur Wireless association has been organ- ized with the express purpose of training and lining up all the amateurs in the country against the time of need. There are said to be 200,000 of them. It's an excellent thing for young Americans to take a practical interest in so fascinating a science, but the very intensity of their inter- est might be a disadvantage in war time. The nation will hardly need 200,000 wireless operators in any emergency likely to arise in the next hundred years. It will hardly need ten per cent. of that number, possibly not more than one percent. in addi- tion to the regular operators of the army and navy and the professionals who may be pressed into service from the commercial wireless companies. Multiplying the number of wireless experimenters leads to confusion. There is already considerable con- fusion in the transmission of wire- less message in this country. In spite of the official licensing re- strictions and the tuning of wire- less instruments, the amateurs man- age to catch important private and official messages out of the ether, and intrude with their own mes- sages to the annoyance of legitimate commercial and governmental busi- ness. In time of war it would be necessary to bring the amateurs under very strict control. ’\ Fine ()Id Priest, (Waterbury Republican.)

He sim- ply brpke into the saloons and drove the customers out.

Leading educators all over the country are endeavoring to eliminate non-essentials from our schoolg With the unimportant discarded we'd have the ideal course Ver- non is right up front as usual. Our superintendent of schools suggests that we slough off that which is worthless. There should be no he itancy about such a step. Too much valuable time has been lost in tho past in non-essentials. There should be no dely in discarding that which in any way retards the progress of the pupil. To be rid of the non-es- sential is to be on the high road to efficency. We should all join in the endeavor to create a desire for better educa- tional work, among teachers, parents and puplls. As Superintendent Mulr well says, we can do this: 1 By creating an enthusiastic public sentiment to leok to onur schools for better things, 2 To give the schools our talents, and our moral ancial support.

Cameron Forbes of Massachu- setts, former governor-general of the Philippines, and his brother, Ralph Waldo Forbes were the guests recent- ly of Col. John 8, Mosby, the fambus guerrilla chief, who took them over into Virginia and showed them where and how he captured their father, Major William H. Forbeés, druing the civil war. The incident occurred at a point on the main road between Leesburg and Fairfax courthouse, near Aldle, Loudon county. Th Union troops were at Leesburg ,and Mosby’s band was just south of Fair- fax, when word reached the Union commander at Leesburg that Mosby was raiding in that vicinity., A troop of 150 men, commanded , by Maj. Forbes, was sent out to intercept Mos- by. The guerrilla chief heard that this force was aproaching and ad- vanced with about the same number of men to meet it. When the fwo forces came together the Union men had been resting in a field at the side of the road, which they started to cross and form their battle line at an angle to head the rebel troopers off Mosby had an old cannon, which he planted in the middle of the road and fired into the enemy. Then he ors dered a charge, which he led himself, shooting the horse of Maj Forbes from under him and capturing the major. The Union troopers made & desperate resistance and Forbes did not yield until he had buried his saber in the shoulder of Tom Rich- ards, one of Mosby’'s men. even men were buried near the scene as a result of the conflict. Lieut. Schuy- ler of the Union soldiers was wound- ed during the fight, but recovered, Col, Mosby was accompanied by small party of his old troopers livi in the vicinity during the visit of t Forbes brothers, which also was madi a sort of reunion.
