Norwich Office Has About 75 Names in the List—Bonds Offered. Since the Now postoffice has been a postal savings depository, that is, from Sept. 28, 1911, to the present time, the deposits have grown till they now approximate $4,000, and the de- positors are now being notified that they have another opportunity to con- vert their savings into postal savings bonds. The depositors at the Norwich office number about 75, indicating an aver- age deposit of about 333, there having been only one depositor of any particu- larly large amount. It has been the experience here that the postal savings department is very likely to be used by those who have been familiar with this form of savings in other countries and a good proportion of the deposit- ors has been of this elass. When the issue of postal bonds was made were savings last January there several from the Norwich office who converted their savings into bonds. ‘The principal regulations re- garding the issue of bonds are as fol- lows By applying on or before Dec. depositors of the postal sav tem may exchange the whole or a part of their deposits for United States reg- istered or coupon bonds in denomina- tions of 320, $100 and $500, bearing in- terest from Jan. 1, 1913, at the rate of 2 1-2 cent. per annum, payable semi- and redeemable at the of the United States after car from the date of issue, both principal and interest payable 20 years from that date in United States gold coin. Postal savings bonds are exempt from all taxes or duties of the United States, as well as from taxation in any form by or under state, municipal or local authority. Applications for the conversion of deposits into bonds on Jan. 1, 1913, must be received on or before Dec. 2 1912, by the postmaster at the depos- itory where the certificates were is- sued. The depositor must indorse and surrender with his application postal savings certificates covering the amount of the bonds desired, for which the postmaster will give him a receipt. The bonds will be issued by the secre- tary of the treasury, and as soon as they are ready will be delivered to the applicants, which usually takes about a month. The conversion of deposits into bonds at a date less than one year after the certificates began to bear interest for- feits interest on the deposits as in the case of withdrawal for any other pur- pose. Postal savings bonds can be pro- cured only by the conversion of postal savings deposits and will not be issued to persons who are not depositors. They may be sold or assigned to any person, however, by the holder, and When a. registered bond is assigned a new hond will be issued in the name of the owner. The depositor’s application must in- dicate whether bonds are desired in registered or coupon form. Coupon bonds are. preferable for a depositor who intends to hold them for a short time only and who has ample facili- ties for their safe keeping. These bonds are payable to bearer, and the title will pass by delivery without in- dorsement. Interest on coupon bonds is collected by means of interest cou- pons, which are detached by the holder as_they become due. Registered_bonds are preferable for persons intending to hold them for a considerable period, and they differ from coupon bonds in the following re- spect: (a) They have inscribed upon thelr face the names of the persons to Whom they are ssued. (b) They are payable only to the persons to whom issued or their as- signs. (c) The owpership of registered bonds can be transferred only by as- signment in proper form. Interest on registered bonds is paid by checks drawn at the treasury de- partment in favor of the registered holder. These checks are sent by mail to_the postoffice address of the Rolder. Payment on registered bonds thai have been lost or stolen my be stopped by notifying the secretary of the treas- ury_(division of loans and currency) at’ Washington. If coupon bonds are lost the government does not under- take to protect the owner against the wrongful holder, but ®recognizes the bearer only. When bonds, either reg- istered or coupon, have been destroy- ed, wholly or in part, or defaced, a claim may be filed with the secretary of the treasury under certain pre- scribed conditions for their replace- ment. On_the application of any holder the board of trustees wilk purchase postal savings bonds at par. Initiated in Theatrical Union.

The superior court was occupied all day Tuesday with the case of Ida K.

At 2.50 the jury came in and at the request of one of them the entlre te: timony of the plaintiff was read by Court” Reporter Graham. This occ pled about 25 minutes. After the jury had retired again, they next came in at 4.07 and reported through Fereman Daniel W. Williams that they were unable to agree upon a verdict. Judge Shumway spoke to them ear- nestly along the line of reaching an agreement if possible, referring to a proneuncement by the supreme court upon the duty of those who were in the minority to endeavor to come to an agreement with the majority if possible. He told them he would send them back to the jury room until 430. At that time they returned again and again_reported ne agreement. This time he told them he should still not discharge them from the case, but advised them to think it over during the night, Court was then adjourned. Cases to Be Settled.

Would Be Satisfied if No Changes Were Made, People The Second congressional district, containing as it does four counties, has more postmasterships at its dis- posal than any other congressional dis- trict in the state. Many of these offi- cials have held their places many years and are deservedly popular in their communities, and the people of these places would be entirely satisfied if no change were made. It would be difficult in New London, for instanc to secure much of a petition of res dents and voters to displace Postmas- ter MecGinley, and in Norwich to re- move Postmaster Caruthers. No doubt a similar condition exists in other Con- necticut communities, No doubt Congressman Mahan will have comsiderable pressure brought upon him te recommend the appoint- ment of ReW Men to postmasterships in his_district, but. knowing the senti- ment of the people of the towns af- fected he can afford to go slow and recommend ne chamges unless the im- provement of the postal service de- mands it—New London Day.

There was another big audience in the Central Baptist church Tuesday evening for the second number in the Y. M. C. A, enterfainment course, an address on’ the Oriental Chessboard, by Hon. Homer B. Hulburt. Rev. .. H. Ricketts presented the speaker a3 one eminently fitted to talk upon th problems of the far east, owing to his | long residence there, during which he was for a number of years the confi- dential advisor for the Koreon empa- Tor. Mr. Hulburt'’s remarks met wich an enthustastic reception and he heid the close attention of his hearers roughout his address, which proved as novel as the most entertaining ro- mance. | Vital Problems. In opening his rem--ks he said that one of the ! charactefistics of the Americin people was that they mi icir own business. This fact, he said, I8 somewhat embarrassing to me, owing to the unsual vital prob- lems which of late held the entire at tention of the country. However, 1 feel | tht when you learn of conditions in the far east vou will feel the fact that the destiny of this country is bound up with that of le Korea Anyone who claims to be unbia 1 1s a fakir. One cannot live In the east for years, throw himself heart and into the problems of the take sides. I do mot claim to be un blased. T have announced my subject as the Oriental Chessboa and conditions in| the far east may well be likened to that | game. In the center are the king and | queen, and the more important of the two is the queen. Next is the bishop, which represents the church; the knights which represent the diplomat= | the castles, ag the army and navy, and | last of all the poor little pawn, which in the east is the people. China, Russia, Japan. There are three great powers in vh"‘ east—China, Russia_and Japan. Then | there comes little Korea, which is in some wavs a power. The American people are desperately interested in| the fate of China. The American eagle | was born on the eastern coast of North America and has worked west- ward to the Pacific const, working t.> | mines and despoiling the fc te, pro ducing far more than has been con-| sumed, and now it is a necessity to| our economic life to seek abroad mar- | kets for the products of American en- | ergy. In Europe there is no market that will begin to fulfill our demand| | for a market. The only place on the globe today that can consume the pro- ducts of the United States is China, | where there are 450 millions of y-myn]w: demanding our goods. We often hear | of the extreme poverty in China but there are just as many millionaires ia| China as there are in_ Americ 'l'l\l\j average wealth is much less, but the| money s there ready to be spent.| Even in the farthest corner of China there are people eager to by the pro- | ducts of American Industry, but at| present the high cost of transporta- | tion prohibits the bringing in of these| goods in many parts of the country.| When there are raflroads across China | the country will be ready to use all and more than America can nroduce. | China Conservative and Democratic. On account of the cengested popula- tion, China is conservative, as every little disturbance of conditions causes | a maelstrom of difficulties. The Chines are regarded as filled with the old ideas and ideals of the past, but I know personally that no god, no tradi- tion or no superstition will stand be- | tween a Chinaman and a_bargain. There is no conservatism that will stand between a Chinaman and $5 I have proved to my own satisfac- tion. Today China is the most dem- ocratic country in the world. There are no castes there; a man can rise from the bottom to the top. The late empress dowager of China at five years of age was a slave girl. Through her natural ability alone she rose and became the wife of the emperor and on his death was the empress dow- ager. The only aristocracy in China is the aristocracy of real brains, edu- cation and sheer ability. Another evi- dence of the democracy lies in the fact that when a man considers any important step, such as marriage or business venture, the clan is called to- gether ang the whole family considers the matter in a manner similar to the old fashioned New England town mee ing, which was, in my opinion, the nearest approach to ideal government If a governor does not please the peo- ple they rise and pull him to pieces and burn his house. The ople there are the court of last appeal. China is splendid in her abilities and looks for- ward to certain great success republic. China and Japan Unlike. In all the world there are no two countries more unlike than China and Japan, and the difference for this lies in the fact that Japan 700 vears ago became a feudal land. The country was divided into smaii states With & governor over each. In Europe feud alism resulted in separation, in the establishing of little baroni: every- where. But there the power of the Catholic church served to bind them together again. The salvation of the country lay in the fact that the intel- lectual power was in the monks and monasteries, while the physical power was in the knights. In Japan there was no Catholic church to bind togeth- er the people, and there was no sep- aration of knowledge and power, both belonging to the samurai, the retain- ers of the governors or feudal lords. Thus the samurai developed great pride which raised them far above menial labor, and caused an Immense gap between' themselves and the com- mon people, which has never been closed. There, there is no democracy, a man cannot rise above his caste. At the top are the samurai, and following them' are the farmers, the artisans, the merchants, and finally the beggars and the outcasts. The great advance of Japan in the last 50 years was due to the samural. Downfall of Feudalism. In 1808, the dual government was overthrown and the mikado became the real emperor and feudalism was abolished. The ene plank in the plat- form of the revolutionary leaders was to drive out the foreigners and kill the Christians, but fellowing some good advice this plan was dropped. With the downfall of feudalism, ev- ery baren was forced to come to Tokyo to live as a private individual, and the samurai were disbanded.

Saved Samurai Prid With such pride in their hearts, they would never have gone to work, anq just at this point the government conceived a most astute and politic plan. It was given out that the gov- ernment was -being changed over and that the samurai, as the brains of the country, would be needed to fill the importdut_positions of the new gov- ernment. Three million samurai grasp- ed at the opportunity to save them- selves from falling to the ranks of the common pepple. This is the rea- son for the enthusiasm in the change in Japan, the desperate determination of ‘the samurai to save their caste. TUnder the new government, which was to be like the other progresgive ma- tions, the rulers at once felt that they must seize some other land, as _the; had seen the big nations doing. Their cholce fell upon Korea. In 1876, aftef considerable arbitration, Japan sent a gunboat up along the cost of Ko- rea and forced a treaty on the Koreans.
