When confronted with the fact that in the first nine months of its opera: tion the exports fell off $148,000,000, they must realize that about $1.50 per capita has been lost to the country, and it goes without arguing it that someons having lost that amount of trade, there must have been a cor- responding lessening of work some- ‘where, and wherever work has become less the workmen have been losers of thelr part of this reduction. A loss of nearly three millions a week is worth thinking about. Three milllons a week can do a great deal of business—it must afford a great deal of work: hence its loss must have caused In some sections of the country considerable distress. The democratic theory Is that cap- ital should be allowed to purchase goods in the cheapest markets regard- less of the wagé earner. The repub- lican policy has always been to hold American markets for American goods and to thus keep the money and goods at _home. That it worked well there is plenty eviden of ce. PLYING MACHINES IN WAR, Should the armed conflict foreshad- owed in Earope take place, the value of the different types of afrships will be thoroughly tested. All the leading nations have considerable fleets of them and it is estimated the total number liable to be brought into ser- vice will reach above 1,200, Capt. Baldwin, who is known here 2s a =ky-pilot, returned recently from a tour of the principal aeronautic cen- ters of Burope, and says the German and Austrian aerial forces are the best in Europe. “They have developed the water- cooled motor system to perfection,” he said, “while the French have given most attention to the air-cooled en- gine. The result is shown in recent world records for aviation that have been won' by the Germans, for dura- tion, distance and altitude, inciuding the long-sought flight lasting 24 hours without stop. “The German and Austrian machines climb high and fast, go far and land well, all advantages sought by mil- itary airmen. Their good qualties give confidence to the pilots, so it is! not surprising to see them winning the prineipal worid's records, leaving out speed, Theee high-speed machines do not land well on rough ground. Some of them come dewn at such speed that they run a mile before they can stop, Feor military purposes they are of lit- te use, “Another reason for the GGerman and Austrian superiority is that their pllots fly by instrument not by guess” It is known that England and France are well squipped with air fleets and have brave and experienced pilots, and the practical valde of the different pattérns must be demonstrated in act- ual sesviee, Aeroplanes were used by the Ttalian army in Tripoli; by the Fremeh, in Me=aeco, and by the different armies in the recent Balkan wars, but never to the extent that probably will re- sult during the fore-shadewed esnfiict in Burepe, A REAL M.-IDS.T, 'The eongress now ja pession has been the “talkiest” congress in all his- tory ascovding (o an examimation of the gstatisties as te the eomparative volubility ef the members of this and , 1886, and continued to the the mext a Record of ober, 804 days.

State’s Attorney Alcorn meets with hearty approval in his opposition to the movement of thoughtless New Britain people to secure the release of Bank Embezzler Walker from Weth- ersfield. Walker is just where he be- longs and where he should be obliged to, stay to the end of ‘his sentence whifich has sixteen more vears to run. He committed the meanest of crimes, has ‘persistently refused 'to give the state any information concerning the crooks who assisted him in relieving the bank of large sums of money, and has shown no signs of repentance. The people who are seeking his release should be summarily squelched. Their sympathy is misdirected and unwar- ranted—The Bristol Press. The Bulletin endorses the utterance of The Press. If there is anyope de- serves sympathy and consideration it is the people who lose by these rogues and the crimimals who through lack of | training, and ignorance, have been guilty of crime unwittingly. This was an exasperatingly bad case of bank-wrecking and anything less than the full force of the law ‘tends to promote rather than suppress these offenses against the thrifty bank depositors of the state. Law enforced is the only spected. A BUSY LITTLE LADY. Hats off. for those American Leg- horns in the Storrs egg-laying contest! After a long, uphill race they are within striking distance of the Eng- lish Wyandottes, and with next week's record we expect to see them ahead. This may be called a double victory for American breeding and American sour milk, for this pen of birds has received sour milk as food almost from the shell. Polo games and yacht races may provide sport for millionaires, or rich idlers may strike at golf or ten- nis balls, but they should all' take a back seat when the American hen lays her way up to the front.

No bloodier or more inexcusable mutder s recorded in the pages of history ‘than that of the duchess of Praslin by her husband, the duke of Choiseul-Pras!in. In & measure it wus ! one of the principal causes that led o the French revolution of 1848. Every | vice of the time was traced to the arnistocracy. The people looked upon the nobllity as the cause of ail their trouble. They watched with suspicion | every'act of this class which tended | to recklessness and immorality. TLe nation was in this state when the duke of Praslin murdered his wife. She was a woman of most excellent accom- plshments. The interest in the trial excited much attention in this coun- try, for the reason that the governess of the Praslin family left Paris short- ly after the murder and took up a residence in New York. The old blood royal of France flowed in the veins of the Choiseul-Pras'ia family. The duke who brought dis- grace upon the name was born in 1505, and at the age of 20 he married Fanny a daughter of Count Sebastiani, a dis- tinguished French general. The duke and duchess had by the union three Sons and six daughters. ® For eome years before the murder grave discord had arisen between the pair.. One serious cause of quarrel was said to be the influence which the governess of his daughters, Mddle, Deluzy-Desportes, had gained over the duke. The duchess objected to the continuance of this lady in the family and particularly complained of her es- tranging from ber the affections of her daughters. At last the governess was compelled to quit, but instead of leaving Pars | she took up quarters near the Pras- {lin_home, where she was frequentiy visited by the duke. On Aug. 17, 1847, the Praslin fam:ly moved from its country residence, where it had been spending the sum- mer, to the Rue du Fauborg St. Hon- ore. After their arrival the duke and his three daughters went to visit the former governess and upon their re- turn the father retired to his roum about 1 o'clock. The duchess was also out during the evening and returned to her home aud went to her room about 9:30. She dis- missed her mald. Her body was dis- covered the following morning near the chimney of her room plerced with about forty wounds. The news spread lke wild-fire and all Paris was ex- cited. An investigation was instantly begun. Bverything proved that the duckess had attempted to escape from her assassin. The first blow had been glven while she was in bed. The mur- derer, necessarily covered with bioud, must have left traces of it on his way: and that stalned way was found to be towards the apartment of her husband. Drops and marks of blood were visible from the door ‘of the duchess’ cabinet to the door of the duke’s bedroom. The duke made a statement on Ausg. 18 in which he described how, having | heard a noise in_ the duchess’ room, he went there and found her lying by the chimney covered with blood. At the ~ preliminary examination Charpentier, the duke’s valet, and Mar- garetLeclerc, a domestic, gave damag- ing testimony against their mast.r. Then came the examination before the Chancellor Pasquier, president of ths chamber of peers. That official earn- estly adjured the duke to relieve his mind by a frank confession of tne crime. They also examined most carefully Mdlle. Deluzy as to the re- lations between her and the children, When the chancellor asked her jf she did not think her actions wefe most painful to the duchess she re- plied: “Quite the reverse. I believe Mme. de Prasiin was more occupied { with her feelings about her husband than about her children whom she Scarcely saw, and whom she sent away, when their father was present, in or- der to be alome with him. en he | was no longer there she voluntarily kept herself at a distance from the children in order that she might use sucn cornduct 43 A weapon against him in her reprogsheés touching his way of ma; hoéusehoid, She no doubt jealous éven of the attemtivn i her husband paid te their children’ The eourt of peers, having secursd sufficient svidence te Fold the hus- | band, prepered the affair for trial in the chamber.

Cearn appeared: “At ® o'clock yesterday afternoon Henry H. Cearn died of pneumonia after a weel’s illness, “Mr. Cearn’s career is probably more significant than that of any other American who ever lived. “He was born in 1890, the son of a clergyman, and was brought up in an ideal home. In 1914, at the age of 24, he graduated from the university, not only an honor student, but one of the best likea in the history of the school “In his twenty-fifth vear, however, the great vision came to him that was to,_dominate his life. It was that the one thing necessary to help the world is to train all the children properly. “Those who struggled to alleviate poverty, to abate the evils of alcohol- ism, to do away with the social evil, and otherwise to heal the morally de- ficient, were but allaying sympioms: the rgot of the matter, he perceived, ple, clear ang frresistible. whole life to it. Why the not p it at once is & mystery. he had to convince | length his ! states and the nation adopted his pro- gramme. “The United States of America has made more advancement In the last twenty years, since it began to listen to Cearn, than any nation of earth ever made In 500 years. “Today-every human being in this country who arrives at the age of 21 is thoroughly equipped for self-sup- port, knows the foog value of every: thing he eats or drinks, understands the laws of sex and enters into citi- zenship as an intelligent integer.
