Advancing the date of inauguration may not affect those with leisure time: and a plenty of this world’s finances as @uch as it would those who have to plan ‘in advance, make sacrifices ip order to attend, or are governed largé- ly upon conditions over which they have no control. \If a date in April were selected, it would bring the his- toric occasion near the Easter holi- days, a time when teachers in col- leges and schools, as well as their pu- pHs, have vacations. As time passes, a pilgrimage to Washington and vicinity is becoming more and more a part of the educa- tion of school and college classes. Here in Connectjcut, there are a num- ber of high schools where it is an un- written law that each class take a trip to Washington at some time dur- ing its course. Plans for this trip are often started during freshmen year and a campaign of raising funds mapped out. Such a trip is not mere- 1y a vacation, it teaches a high lesson of, patriotism, it brings the puplils, future citizens, into personal touch with the life of the nation. What more appropriate time could the trip be taken than during inaugur- ation week? With the proposed ad- vancement of the date to the Easter holidays, it would be possible for the students.. with thelr teachers, to com- bine a trip to Washington with the pleasures of witnessing an inaugura- tion. Lessons would be taught at this time that. could be gained at no other. Many persons give up desired trlpu’ g‘wltnm the inauguration simply be- cause they are unwilling to take chances on weather donditions, expos- wre and possible illness later.

Fire Department Buffs. ' (Ingurance Press). There is something about the work of firemen that has always appealed to red-blooded citizens. That ex- plains why we have so many enthusi- | astic “buffs” in the fire department. The buff is a fire fan. A buff never belongs to the fire department; he is a citizen who makes a hobby of the department, and as a rule there is no sacrifice that the good buff will not make to help out the department, and particularly the firemen. There have always been buffs, but they have not always been known by that name. I understand the name originated back’in the volunteer days when the men who were interested and enthusiastic sabout the fire .le- partment work, used to go around to the firchouses and sleep there: They used to wrap themselves up in buffalo robes; hence the name. There isn't' a firehouse in New York that hasn't quota of buffs. There are local buffs who take pride in being con- nected with a certain engine or truck company, and then we have a num- ber of distinguished buffs who are interested the: department as a whole. d ‘The. local buffs are of all ages. Some of them are young boys, who are glad of the chance to run an errand to the corner restaurant to get a sandwich for a fircman, and who are glad at a big fire to carry cans of coal for the fire engines. \ These buffs know everything abqut the company down to the minutest detail. They. know just how megny runs the company made last vear, what sort of fires it extinguished, and they know all about the individual firemen, their work and their troubles. Registration of Aliens. (Waterbury - American.) It is a new thing in this country to make aliens register. One of the things that American travellers in foreign countries scold about most is the annoyance involved in registering and getting permission to move about from one place to another.

Chapman Catt, president of the Na- | tional Woman Suffrage Party was ousted from ‘the honory vice chair- manship of the Women’s Peace Party last night because she offered Presi- “dent Wilson the services of the suf- | fragists of the country in case of war. This action was taken at the | second annual dinner of the peace party, held at 11 East Forty-fourth street. It had been announced that the policy of the peace paity.in the & interpational crisis would. be out- lined, but it took so long to oust Mrs. Catt that the declaration of prinei- ples had to be postponed. i The dinner began early—at ¢ o'clock—and after addresses by S. M. Radcliffe, English publicist, and a ' few others the election of officers was taken up. Newspuper recporters were not allowed at the session, but after it was over. at 11 .o’clock, it was an- nounced that Miss Crystal® Eastman had been re-elected chairman, and ' Mrs, ‘Henry Villard .head of the Emergency Peacc Federation, -had been chosen honorary chairman. The knowledge that Mrs. Catt had been an = honorary vice, chairman | brought the question, when the list | of new officers was given out, of what had become of her. It was' then cxplairied that Mrs. Catt had not been re-elécted because her pa- cifism wasn’t 100 per cent. pure. Tt was also learned that when the time came for the clection of but on motion the slate lost. 1t was recalled that Mrs. Catt, had | offered the services of the suffragists to the nation and the argument . was made that she had usurped power in 80 doing without a referendum to the membership. 'Mrs. Margaret Lane said: “Wo are first of all against war and have nothing 'to do witlr ahything connected with ‘the waging of war. Many of us are members of the Na- | tional Woman Suffrage party and re- ; sented our services being offered for | any purpose yuntil we consented. So, all together, it was decided that Mrs. | Catt’s pacifism wasn’t strong enough for her name to appear as one of the officials of the Woman's Peace party, and she wasn't re-elected. I hope she doesn't feel bad about it.” GOOD FRIDAY CLOSING. Father Fitzgeald Appears in Favor of ' Bill i Tegislature, Rev. Jnhn{ Fitzgerald, ‘ pastor of’ the church of St. John the Evangelist, appeared bg(om the excise committee of thé legislature yesterday as the representative of Bishop J. J. Nilan aad the Catholic .-Temperance Union, in favoring a law to compel saloons to close on: Good Friday. He sajd that such a law would help in the preser- vation of the day on which Christ died. Others who favored the bill were Rev. W. E. Lanphear and E. L. G. Hohenthal. F. W. Orr, a New Haven man, ap- peared in defense of the liquor inter- ests and sdid discrimination should not be made against the saloon. He admitted the religious importance of Good Friday and said it should be made sacred, but unless a bill is draft- ed which will close all other unneces- sary places of business he will oppose the measure.

The Carmania, which b“fl\!'h! aixty- one passengers and 2,000 sacks of mail is the first liner to ‘reach New York equipped with the smoke screen ap- paratus invented by the British Ad- miralty as & protection against sub- marine attack.

In addition to this device, the Carmania is protected by a new naval six-inch gun, which has a rangé€ of eight miles. ! It is handled by three gunners from , the Royal Navy Reserve, and one of them is always on duty, day and night, during the voyage. The Carmania left the River Mersey on Sunday night, Feb. 25, a short time before the operator picked 'up the call from the Laconia that she was sinking 156 miles west of the Fastnet Light. Captain J.
