There | be, therefore, no chance of the igh government mistaking the pur- or intention of the United es. All the charges Egnnst Great tain are set forth in plain Eng- . . If there is one charge that can imade against the note it is its tem- te language throughout, but this no way weakens it. Rather is the fire fabric made stronger by the e legal language employed by the retary of State. He has shown clear, concise terms that England k been guilty of outrages against nation and other neutrals.

In fact the- men are almost catching up ‘with the:women in-this one great essential of present-day life and it will not be surprising if in say twenty years men will lead the way entirely. Twenty years ago if a man were found pouring over a style catalogue fresh from his tailor he would have been laughed out of court. Today it is quite the thing | for our young men to devote almost as much attention to their sartorial 'splendor as the girls were wont to spend on such fleeting fancies. As a matter of fact he is indeed passe who has not his name written on the | mailing 1ist of some well known tai- | lor, some master of the shears and | cloth who ‘sends out at stated inter- vals of the vear a fashion book. And, if there be such an individual, a man who 1§ so far behind times that he does not get his book on “How To Le In Style,” then the tailors make sure umns of the daily newspaper. That must be the reason these style books are sent to the newspaper offices of the land. Surely no one would ex- pect the scribblers of the press to keep step with fashion while at the same time they must make an at- tempt to be three or four days ahead of other people in various matters pertaining to the news and other things. it is not such a little one, setting forth the styles for the winter of 1915 we learn that the men are to have a smaller waist line this year. | The suitings, they call them that in the style book, are to be cut so as to fit tighter about the waist than last year. How clever. Further, to be in style the coat must carry the soft-roll effect on the lapels. The popular shades of suits will be ‘blue and green. ' Green, with a slight dash of gray, a sz'lnkllng:l of livelilless, so to speak. And always | with the waist line accentuated, NO! suggestions are made for those who | suffer the, slight annoyance of em- bonpoint. They will probably have to: be content with the soft-roll ef- fect on the collar. To pursue the offerings further, sack coats must be close fitting and devoid of all padding. That is the decree that will fast do away with all the athletic looking men, the fellows with the big shoulders, the kind the girls used to rave over away back in 1898,—yes, that is away baek, ‘98- These sack coats that are des- tined to set off the masculine shape Wil “also - be: buflt high' of waistline and have the soft-roll lapels.

Exaggerated and cleverly inspired statement regarding the alleged un- preparedness of this country to de- fend itself have given the impression, in the capitals of Central European countries, as well as in the Mexican chaparrals, that the fighting spirit has been bred out of the Americans; that when they are assaulted on one cheek they will humbly submit the other cheek for similar punishment.

A’ Connecticut contemporary which is scornful of' the idea of manufac- turing a flotilla of tiny submarines at the one-a-minute rate, remarks that ‘‘there are many difficulties with which to contend in making a vessel travel successfully under wa- ter and at best it is an abnormal thing. ‘““As vehicles to the surface take more naturally of the earth than to the air, so a boat travels better afloat thin asink. The flying ma- chine develops slowly but it is like- ly to outstrip the submarine.” Nothing could be less true to his- torical fact than this statement. We had submarines long before we had airships, long before we had motor cars, and before we had steamboats or other vessels propelled by me- chanical power. A submarine made a successful descent in New York harbor during the war of the American Revolu- tion, and attached a bomb to a Brit- ish frigate. It is true that the bomb became detached and blew up a lit- tle distance away from the frigate decorative designs for these vests will be quite the thing. And even in ‘the overcoats the stylists are set- ting forth their ideas of displaying the shapeliness of the 1male biped. The overcoats also have the soft-roll lapels, and quite a few are double- breasted. So, men, there you are! The latest styles, fresh from the makers, Whatever you' do please remember the waist-line. It must be tight to be in style this winter. WOODEN GRANDSTANDS. Wooden grandstands such as are in use at Electric Field are ever liable to strain when any large assemblage This The of persons crowd upon them, is because of the stress of winter storms, spring showers, of fall frosts, plays havoc with the timber thus exposed and the process of decay is ever hastened. At what time these boards are ready to crack and crumple no one knows. Tt is therefore advisable,—and it is done in every big city in the land,— elements. to send an inspector to just before any gathering makes use of stands. In this many serious accidents have been averted. The incident at the football game on Saturday last when a score of women and girls plunged to the ground as a result «f breaking timber, with the result that at least one was permanently in- jured, shows that all communities must exercise just a trifie more vigil- ence for the safety of their sons and | daughters who attend public amuse- ments and who may be banked high on wooden grandstands. such places of people wooden wey Just to show we are not so far be- hind times, an army officer has de- signed a military automobile capable of carrying a detachment of fourteen men, with three days‘ rations and fuel this machine will go 800 milgs on one filling of its fuel tanks Some jitney! equipment,—further, - Maybe the Greeks didn't think that "Allies’ "expeditionary force was having no greater effect than to frighten the crew into fits—but that was the structural fault of the borab not of the submarine which accom- plished its mission so far as its own peculiar functions were con- cerned. The South made successful use of submarines in the Civil War and while the casualties were heavy among submarine crews, still soms: of them accomplished their work and blew up Northern vessels. So far as its type is concerned, the modern submarine differs from its century-old prototypes only in re- finements which make it more trust- worthy and practical. The great advance in modern submarine con- struction, the perfection of the au- ‘tomobile, and the invention of the flying machine are historically coin- cident, and all hinge upon one great central fact—the invention and per- fection of the modern internal-com- bustion motor. Wireless. Volunteers. (Waterbury Democrat.) Now that volunteering has become the fashion, the amateur wireless enthusiasts are rushing to the de- fense of the nation. A National Amateur Wireless association has been organized with the express pur- pose 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 ex- cellent thing for young Americans to take a practical interest in so fascinating a science, but the very intensity of their interest 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 per cent, in addition 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 messages 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- gages to the annoyance of legitimate commercial and governmental bus- iness. In time of war it would he | large enough to violate their neutral- » ity.—Boston Journal, . necessary to bring the amateurs under very strict control, McMILLAN’S NEW BRITAIN’S BUSIEST BIG STORE “ALWAYS RELIABLE” Special Sale of Dress Goods, Suitings and Coatings Wednesday Morning, Nov. 10th at 8:30 1,200 yards Dress goods, Suitings and coatings in this sale at prices that are less then they can be bought for at the mills today, your choice Wednesday of 50-inch Figured Fantasie value $1.50 50-inch Wool Diagonals, value $1.50 54-inch Wool IKponge, value $1.50 52-inch Wool Plaid Coatings, value, $1.50, also several pieces of all wool dress goods and suitings in plain and novelty weaves values up to $1.50 yd.

McMILLAN 199-201-203 MAIN WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that comes to the Herald Office. Miss Cavell—Mrs. Surratt. (Schenectady Union-Star.) A subscriber asked in what parti- culars the execution of Mrs, Suratt at the close of the Civil war, differed from the execution of Miss Cavell, the English nurse executed by the Germans. The question is a fair one and deserves a fair answer. Mrs. Surratt was tried and found guilty by a military commission of harboring “and conspiring with” the assassins who took the life of Abraham Lincoln. The commission was cpmposed of the following United States officers: Maj-Gen. Hunter, Gen. Lew Wallace, Gen. J. A, Elkin, Col. Tompkins, Gen." Howe, Col. Clendenin, Gen. Holt, Judge Ad- vocate Bingham and Col. Henry Bur- net. These men gave her a trial, as impartial as was possible when the bitterness aroused by the death of Mr. Lincoln is taken into consider- ation. They found her guilty, but, in view of her sex, recommended that, instead of death, she be given life imprisonment. President Johnson took on himself the responsibility of disregarding the recommendation for mercy and ordered her hanged. Even then it was a matter of repugnance, and the military commission reached its verdict with the greatest reluctance. Nicolay and Hay, in their biography of Lincoln, speak of the “natural re- pugnance” with which the execu- tion of Mrs. Surratt was viewed, and Rhodes, in his History of the United States, declared it was an act that should never have been permitted. Miss Cavell was tried for aiding English and Belgian soldiers to es- cape from Belgium: Under German military law her sentence was legal. Cividrzation views it “with 'horror. She was not a spy, and during our own Civil war no woman spy Wwas ever executed, either by Federals or Confederates. Like Connecticut, (Bridgeport Standard.) Like Connecticut, Ohio prefers local option to state prohibition and voted for it overwhelmingly at the late elec- tion. Local option is of several varie- ties according to the prevailing senti- ment of the section where it prevails. In Connecticut the towns decide the matters for themselves, but m Oaio the system is country-wide. In Connecticut, where we have but eight counties, and population is comparatively dense, the town systera works well; but in Ohio, with 88 coun- ties and a population very much more scattered in most of the state, the existing system seems to fit the con- ditions better.
