GOMMON LAW AND Law School Exercises New Haven, June 19.—Class exercises in the undergraduate partments, anniversary exercises the Law school and meetings of the alumni advisory board and of the corporation of the university, were the chief events today in the annual commencement season at Yale. The seniors in the Sheffield Scien- tific school held their class day cere- de- and later the senlors held theirs in the old the forenoon, of the college college yard. William R. Riddell, justice of the supreme court of Ontario, Canada, was the speaker at the law school. Speaking on “Common Law and Com- mon Sense,” he said that Common Taw “is the perfection of human rea- son—in a word common law is com- mon sense.” What we call common sense,” he said, *“is not the old metaphysical common sense, nor is it the sentiment which might be conceived from the flow of lofty and altruistic philosophy, but it consists in the application of the rules of justice and honesty to the things of this workaday world. The real law is always the state of the decisions for the time being, what- ever may be the state of the rules supposed to be binding. A judge i necessarily a creature of his times. Tn our system the judge is not edu- cated as.a judge but as a lawyer, who handles matters of everyday life and is in close touch with the people. The common sense of the judge is not far away from the common sense of the mass of the people.” Changes in Common Sense. Justice Riddell cited a number of instances to show the changes in common sense with reference to court procedure. At one time, he said, “as the common law, common sense taught that any one allowed to give evidence in his own behalf would perjure himself. Once this would sound common sense, everywhere the common law prevailed, but the com- mon sense has changed almost every- where, and for more than half a cen- tury this theory has been effete.” In closing he said: “The motto of this university is service. I have | been told by one high in affairs of state (not a graduate of this univer- sity) that where some public service is to be performed, some office of difficulty to be filled, it is the sons of Yale that are instinctively sought. A great glory and homnor, a great ex- ample, casting upon this and other recent and coming classes a great re- sponsibility, the task of keeping that reputation a thing of life, and not letting the old flag fall. “You may not have the enviable privilege which is granted to my own boys of the University of Tor- onto and Osgoode Hall Law school, who bear arms in the defense of what they believe to be the cause of democracy and freedom, justice and righteousness; but evil is protean and vou, and such as you. have the envi- able privilege of leading in the fight nst it in every form.” INJURED AT FACTORY. ployed wound, but There is some a scalp rious. to how juries inasmuch accident. as no ST, JOSEPH’S GRADUATION. | cloquent sermon on “Education” the graduation exercis chial school yesterday e A class ni the winners of awards for Miss Beulah Brown, «nd Graydon Smith attended Iligh school, the past week. 1 \ | i At the meeting to be held Saturday evening, election of oi- L Stamford was present at the meeting last Saturday evening, when one application for membership orated the graves of deceased and emblen.

Gen. Helmuth von Moltke, Chief of the Supplementary General Staff of the Army, died of heart apoplexy yester- day during a service of mourning in the Reichstag for Field Marshall von der Goltz, says a Berlin telogram. London, June 19—F. W. Wile, writ- ing in The Daily Mail of von Moltke, says: “I can testify to the literal accuracy of a piece of history not generally known which identifies von Moltke with a clique which compelled the Kaiser to abandon his remaining doubts as to the immediate wisdom of war. “On the afternoon of Saturday, Aug. 1, 1914, the general's wife paid a visit to a certain home in Berlin. she was in & state of irrepressible excitement. “‘Ach! what a day T've been through,” she said to my informant. ‘My husband came home just before I left almost the first I've seen of him in three days and nights. e threw himself onto a couch, a com- plete physical wreck, and said he had finally accomplished the hardest task of his life. He had helped to induce the Kaiser to sign the mobil- ization order.”” During the fall of 1914 there were repeated announcements of General von Moltke’s illness, and it was said that he had been removed as Chief of the General Staff. These, however, proved to be false, but in December of that year he retired, his failing health, it was said, preventing him from returning to the front. General von Falkenhayn was then appointed Chief of the General Staff, while Gen- eral von Moltke, during the following January, was appointed Chief of the Supplementary General Staff. Nephew of Great von Moltke. General von Moltke was born Mecklenburg-Schwerin, and was in his sixty-seventh year. He was a nephew of the late Field Marshal von Moltke, the great strategist, who was known as the ‘“Organizer of Victory,” and who directed the movements of the German armies during the Fran- co-Prussian war of 1870. He served as Adjutant to his distinguished uncle on the General Staff from 1881 until the Field Marshal’s death in 1891. While escorting the Field Marshai to the grave, Emperor Willlam in- formed the then Major von Moltke that he had decided to elevate him to the rank of personal aid-de-camp, and he served for five years in th position. Following this, General von Moltke held regimental and di- visional commands in the Guards un- til 1904, when the Emperor created a Quartermaster Generalship on the General Staff. hitherto filled only during war, and designated General von Moltke to fill the post. On Jan. 1, 1906, General von Moltke succeeded Count von Schlieffen as Chief of the General Staff. His career in the army up to that time had been exceptional. As a young man he had won his lieutenancy and the Tron Cross during the Franco-Prussian war, and had acquited himself with distinction until he was made a Tieu- tenant General in 1902. When ap- pointed to succeed von Schlieffen, in life criticised his elevation. said he owed it primarily to the Em- peror's passion for the picturesque, and his desire to have the magic name of Moltke at the head of the “brains department” of the German army. His critics had only their eves open- ed at the first “Kaiser Manoeuvres"” held under his orders before he had been Chief of the General Staff for ten months. This great autumn cam- paign had been distinguished by op- erations that the oft-quoted Marshal of France would have called “magni- flent, but not war.” The ° Kaiser had a passion for thrilling cavalry charges over bare fields, which made splendid moving pictures, but which would cost the lives of divisions in real war. With the taunts of his critics ringing in his ears that he was a “Kaiser Staff Chief,” von Moltke's first innovation was to obliterate ruth- lessly the picturesque from the man- oeuvres. He substituted what is now real war, the tactics of the German armies. He gave the troops grueling, practical operations—night fighting, forced marches, and all those exer- cises that have made the German army formidable. Count Schlieffen, who had attempt- ed to oppose the Bmperor's will and substitute ‘“real war” for the pictur- esque, had been finally forced to leave the General Staff. Von Moltke, with a will of steel, succeeded where he had failed, and his growth in the esteem of the army was rapid there- after. As an example of the power he eventually held, it was through his insistence that $250,000.000 was spent on the army during the year before the war. Disagreed With Emperor. At the time General von Moltke was retired as Chief of the General Staff, the German newspapers made guarded comments on the appoint- ment of General von Falkenhayn, and said that there had been a dis- agreement between von Moltke and the Emperor. It was sald that while General von Moltke favored energetic operations against the French center, the Fm- peror was strongly in favor of push- ing the advance in the direction of Calais. The plan of campaign as originally outltned by General von Moltke was to advance on Parls as rapidly as possible, and this led to the swift movement toward the French capital by Generals von Kluck and- von Hausen during August and September, 1914, which was ended by the forced retreat to the poslitions hoth those in the army and in eclvil | They | ]nm\» occupied by the Germans in Flanders. It is said that friction de- veloped between the Emperor and his Chief of Staff during this time, the “War Lord” taking the ground that the movement against Paris was futile. After the capture of Antwerp, it was von Moltke's desire, according to the German papers to concentrate ef- forts on the Verdun-Toul line, while the Emperor, pointing to the possi- bility of an enveloping movement by the allies or a break through the wedge von Moltke proposed to ad- vance, favored the continuation of operations against the forces of the allies in Flanders. This was the situ- ation which finally led to General von Moltke's retirement and the in- stallation of General von Falkenhayn as Chief of the General Staff General von Moltke was often mis- takenly called “Count,” for that title conferred on his great ancestor in 1870, on the day Metz fell, was in- herited by his elder brother, General Count Wilhelm von Moltke, and ceas- ed with his death a few years ago. He was one of the most accomplished musicians in Germany, and at a din- ner shortly before he was appointed quartermaster general he led the band while it played an old march com- posed in 1403 and resurrected by General von Moltke as a musical cur- iosity. His intimate affiliation with the Christian Science movement was | regarded as a weakness wholly out of place in an army leader. NEW BRITAIN BOYS EAGER FOR BATTLE (Continued From First Page).

H. Rnodes and the deal has progressed sufficiently far that Mr. Rhodes has made arrange- ments to give up the use of his barns on the property in question. It said that a Catholic cnurch will be crected on the corner and between that and the Stanley Memorial church a rectory will be built, in case the proposed deal goes through. When the trustees of the Stanley | Memorial church, which is an off- | spring of the South Congregational | church, first purchased their prop- ty a number of years ago they bought three lots. Two of these lots have been used for the church and the third is still held. Inserted in the property deed was a clause which gave the Stanley Memorial church the right to have a street cut through at the north end of the church con- necting East street with Millard street. This provision was made so that the church property could al- ways be protected from undesirable neighbors by the width of a street at least However, the sole right of taking advantage of or releasing this clause lays within the power of the church trustees. The Stanley Memorial church trus- i tees have been considering for some time the advisability or relinquishing this right for sufficient consideration and a proper understanding of what the property would be used for. While the matter has not been definitely | settled, it is said that there is not much doubt but that the deal will g0 through as. outlined, as a settle- ment favorable to all parties seems imminent. by Stanley Memorial East | YEGGS IN DANBURY P.
