President Perkins, in •.lisc:ssing the needs of a hospital, stated that I oration, leaving the general humane charac­ter of such an institution aside, he could see where employers of labor such as the large manufacturers in the several nearby towns would be materially benefitted if the duration of an injured person's incapacita­tion could be shortened by having him treated in the hospital, and said that the citizens can be assured of the most hearty co-operation of the company. The site has not been decided upon but as soon as prelim­inary details are attended to, but little time will be lost in deciding upon a location. The site now oc­cupied by the Enfield Country club on Enfield street appeals to many as being the most desirable.

It will be of interest to note that the manufacturing interests and pri­vate interests of citizens in Suffield, Windsor Locks, Warehouse Point, Hazardville. Somers and Somers-I'ille are with Enfield to a large ex­tent in furthering the plans for the hospital.

Enfield Woman Granted Alimony of $500 and Custody of Three

Children Mrs. Eulalie Thompson Master-

man of Hazardville was granted a divorce from her husband, Arthur F. Masterman in the superior court at Hartford Tuesday. In the Decem­ber term of the superior criminal court, Masterman was sentenced to jail for nine months under a com­plaint which charged him with as­sault with intent to kill Patrolman Alton Payne, whose life was saved by a heavy watch chain which di­verted the course of one of the five bullets fired at him by Masterman, from entering Patrolman Payne s body.

The complaint charged Master-nan with habitual intemperance and intolerable cruelty and in addi­tion to the divorce, the custody of three children, boys aged 16 and 12 and a daughter aged 10 years were awarded to Mrs. Masterman.

,Mr. and Mrs. Masterman were married at Livermore Falls, Me., on May 2, 1901. Their first residence in this state was at Suffield. Then they moved to En-field street and about ten years ago Masterman bought a farm of 16 acres in Haz­ardville. Mrs. Masterman in addi­tion to her divorce was granted $500 alimony.'

The purpose of this grant is to enable the small towns to com­pensate the teaching staff better than is done at: present, and in this way the small towns will have a chance to hold teachers if paid reasonable as compar­ed with that" of (lie city schools.

The Stanley works in New Britain, in addition to other activities, is now engaged in finding rents for its em­ployees who are not definitely settled. A special department has been estab­lished for this particular work. The concern has asked the whole factory to co-operate, and as a result the ef­forts of the company have been great­ly rewarded. As soon as an employee learns of a vacant rent in the city the rent department is notified. It in turn notifies the person who desires one.

Pinned beneath his automobile when it skidded and overturned on the low­er Woodbridge road, about two miles from the end of the Whalley nvenue car line, John Cotter of New Haven was instantly killed.

Mr. Lane says $1,000,000 worth of work is delayed because of lbe postponement. Included in Hie examinations were those for school janitor, bridge tender and clerk in the ollice of tax collector.

Reports from normal school circles have it that there will be about 2o0 graduates this year, and from about the state conies the news that 700 teachers are needed for the fall term.

Absolutely Wished It, and Con-

^ ducted It Himself in All

Its Barbarity.

"There is no doubt that the former 1 German emperor was the first and re­sponsible author of the war. He ab­solutely wished for it and conducted it himself in all its ruthlessness" and barbarity."

This is a statement attributed to the prince of Monaco by the London Mail's Paris correspondent, who interviewed the prince there. The correspondent recalls that the prince of Monaco was formerly a personal friend of Emperor William, but that friendship was sev­ered by the prince in a telegram sent to the former emperor in September, 1914.

"Until a few years before the war," the prince is quoted as saying, "the German emperor seemed to sincerely wish peace and a renewal of inter­course witli France. I know this be­cause I was intrusted with a mission to try to bring it about. But at the same time a terrible megalomania was growing in him. He was anxious to see Germany over all, and from the day when he felt it impossible to at­tain this end by peace, war became an obsession with him.

"I shall never forget the fury in his face and hatred in his voice when, in July, 1914, he told me 'if they oblige me to make war the world will see what it never dreamed of.' These words were hypocritical, because the emperor could not pretend the war into which he declared himself driven was not at that very time being pre­pared for in every detail."

Hunter Used a graph and a Rifle.

Phonograph music lured scores of seals of the Lower Puget Sound to their death last summer, according to Ed. Corfee, who killed seals that prey' upon Salmon.

Corfee is a hunter employed by the Washington fish and game commission.

A phonograph and a rifle were the principal items in Corfee's outfit. The seals came out of the water to listen to the music. AVhenever a seal put his head above thp surface Oorfee's rifle spoke and the seal dropped. Each seal is said to be able to destroy $1,000 worth of salmon a year.

Battle Destroyed Any Lingering Hope in Minds of German Seamen That They Might Sr.atch Victory Over j Grand Fleet and Overthrow Allied Sea Power—Beatty and Hood Ab-solved of Overrashness and Jellicot of Undue Caution.

The controversy about the battle of Jutland wiil not be set at rest by the revelations which liave been made by the principal persons concerned, writes Capt. Charles N. Robinson in New York Herald. There are omissions from his book, as Lord Jellicoe admits, and his critics are bound to make the most of this circumstance.

It had been suggested by those who professed to be dissatisfied with the material results of the action that Beatty and Ilood, the battle cruiser leaders, showed overrashness, and Jel-licoe and Jorrani, in the battle squad-runs, undue caution. To the former cause was attributed the heavy losses on the British side; and to the latter the fact that the enemy were not se­verely held and thoroughly beaten. The candid disclosures of the com­mander in chief, however, provide evi­dence that in neither case was there ground for this criticism.

The action was fought from first to last on the lines laid down in the bat­tle orders for the fleet, which were prepared at Scapa after exhaustive ex­ercises at sea, and which were known and seemingly acquiesced in by all the officers who would lie responsible for executing them. From the bat­tle instructions given on page 3 of Lord Jellieoe's book it is clear that Beatty and Ilood, although they were given a free hand to carry out their general instructions, were told that the primary function of the battle cruisers in action was "the destruction of the similar enemy vessels if present, and, after their destruction or in their ab­sence, to attack the van of the enemy's fleet. Prior to action their duty was defined as giving information as to the enemy's battle fleet, while denying sim­ilar information to the enemy."

Clearly, this absolves Admiral Beatty and the late Admiral Hood of the charge referred to, since when the Indefatigable, Queen Mary and Invin- ] cible were lost, they were either at­tacking enemy battle cruisers or ob­taining information of the enemy's bat­tle fleet. The British losses, includ­ing that of the flagship of Admiral Ilood himself, were not the outcome of any rashness, but, as it is also shown in this book, to shortcomings in the protective features of cruiser designs.

The necessity for caution in the early years of the war is abundantly proved by the long list of deficiencies, some of them of a startling nature, set forth in Lord Jellieoe's volume. All things considered, and when the margin of superiority was what it was, it would have been hard to justify the taking of unnecessary har.ards by the commander in chief, seeing that the al­lied hope of victory in the struggle rested entirely on the continued exist­ence and efficiency of the grand fleet. That fleet was the "all in all," not only of Britain, but of the allied powers.

No Precedents to Follow. In regard also to the criticism which

has been made of the turning move­ments of the fleet in deployment, and when maneuvering to evade torpedo attack, it cannot be forgotten that all tactics of battle before Jutland with the new material of war, including long-range torpedoes and submarines, were tentative and experimental. There were no precedents, or body of experience, for the British command­ers to look to for guidance, and they had to base their judgment chiefly on the lessons of their own practices and exercises in waters limited by the en­emy's mines and torpedoes. There should be borne in mind, too, the per­ils to which the fleet was exposed while preparing for battle, and the difficulties to be OYercome in the as­sembly and direction of such a huge force. It is significant that the ad­miral notes that during the engage­ment his chief of staff, Admiral Charles Madden, remarked to him: "This is all going according to ex­pectation."

From the frank admissions of Lord Jellicoe, and his vivid narrative of the movements of the forces, many edify­ing lessons will be extracted by naval men in all countries. But, so far as the Battle of Jutland is concerned, the main conclusion seems to be that it was the conditions of time, place and weather which prevented the British forces from obtaining a victory as de­cisive in regard to material as it was In regard to the morale of the enemy. The battle destroyed any lingering hope in the minds of the German sea­men that they might snatch a victory over the grand fleet and overthrow the allied sea power, and its influence on .the naval struggle was therefore final and complete, in spite of the disad­vantages under which the British sea­men went into action.

The war has re-enforced the prole­tariat by reducing to i ts ranks whole sections of the former middle class— the great army of salaried employees and others of fixed incomes, who have suffered from the rise of prices more severely than manual workers, and have seen their savings waste away and their standard of l iving reduced until they are on the verge of pauper­ism, says World's Work. This is no exaggerated statement; it describes the actual conditions of minor govern­ment employees, teachers, salesmen, clerks, ollice workers nud oihers in re­lated occupations throughout central Europe.

When we speak of a town, wheth­er i t 's good or bad, we are really speaking in a general way of the men who make up the town, says the Deep River New Era. A town is progressive just so far as its busi­ness men are imbued with a progres­sive and public spirit , not the least of which is an inclination to encour­age the maintenance of the home town paper, for a town without a local paper is l i terally "off the map.". On the contrary, a so-called dead town is made up of individuals who are selfish, who lack public pride, and whose first , and last am-'••fio-t ?r. to ar«»t al l they can out of the town without giving anything in return. An exchange puts the mat­ter squarely, says the Xew Canaan Advertiser, when it says that more towns die for want of confidence on the part of the business men and lack of public spirit than any other cause. Continuing this exchange says:

Discharged Service Men Must Wear Keil Chevron

Trouble is coming for discharged officers and enlisted men who are wearing the uniform without the red chevron, which denotes discharge from service. This is the gist of a ruling received recently at the I-Iampden street recruiting station in Springfield. Penalty for infraction of this law provides for a fine not to exceed $300 or imprisonment not to exceed three months. The new ruling will tend to decrease the pop­ularity of the practice of discharged officers and men going around in their uniforms without wearing the red chevron.

only lost the championship by a mar­gin of two points and his hitting was far more impressive than that of the Brooklyn star.

There are two things, though, that illustrate Roush's skill with the bat more than a mere batting average does. He led the National league in sacrifice hitting and only struck out ten times in 113 games.

One expects skill in sacrificing of a light hitter. But Roush is a slug­ger who made 145 hits yield 10S bases I last year. Yet he is a master, at lay­ing down the ball when he has to.

A man who is skillful in sacrificing, is a long-distance hitler and strikes out only ten times in a season comes as close to batting perfection as a human being can come.

Was Slated to Play Utility Role for Washington This Year, but Griffith pp| Let Him Go to Manage Bing- r, Sill haniton Team.

Fifteen years ago Frank Sclnilte left liis home town, Binglumiton, N. Y., to make liis in bis league base­ball. The only folk who were sure that he would shine in the big show were his home-town frie.nds aiul rela­tives and Frank Schulte.

AH fandoni knows how Schulte de­livered—how he burned up the Na­tional league season after season with the Cubs. So this story isn't about that. The point of this tale is that Frank is going back home. He was slated to play a utility role with Washington this year when the own­ers of the Binghamlon International league club asked him to manage their team. The deal looked good to Schulte and Griflitli was fair enough to get Schulte's • release so he could accept.

It was disclosed recently that Cobb is a decided enthusiast for blooded canines; and enjoys nothing in the way of winter di­version so much as shooting over capable dogs. One dog in particular is Cobb fond of. This animal answers to the name of Cobb's Hull, and is a son of Rigoletto. In a recent show Cobb's llall was exhibited in an all-age stake and carried off first; ribbon. The canine was

It should be comfortable, but its appointments should be suggestive of work and effi­ciency rather than leisure. Instead of making a man feel like taking A nap the office environment should an urge to bis best efforts.

BISHOP I P9* (7 :s i

Comes Under Fir? on T'ram Succeeds Disarr^rq; Oppon­ents.

"I was on the train to St. Lazaire one day," said the Rt. Rev. Edwin II. Hughes of Maiden, Mass., for 10 years Bishop of the Methodist Church,

:who has just returned home after six months in France. His official object was to represent the church in a sur­vey of its chaplain's work, but he wore the uniform of the "Y," and gave hundreds of Sunday night talks to the

..y» hljlo.

'In the compartment with me were two American officers. The sight of my insignia set them going and for some time they enjoyed the pleasure of saying all the disagreeable things they could think of about the 'Y.' Their frequent glances at me and the brief pauses in their talk indicated that their object was to draw out some reply from me. But I only smiled and nodded and let them go it until they were out of ammunition. Then I looked over and said:

"It's a pity ycu boys have so little use for the Y. M. C. A. They have a very good hotel for officers at St. La­zaire."

They looked at one another and smiled, a little as though they admit­ted the joke was on them, and one said:

"Yes, we know it. That's where we tlir>u«rht wnM o-rv"

"Well." I returned, "it strikes me as rather inconsistent. I knew that most of the kicks the doughboys write home about the 'Y' are written on 'Y' stationery, but I gave you officers credit for better logic.

I saw that now I had their attention, and continued.

' ion know. I suppose, that though I wear the 'Y' uniform I cannot get in at your hotel. They wouldn't risk giving me a room there lest a few of you tired fellows from the front lines should come in. I shall have to walk the streets from house to house to get myself a bed, and that's all right, I expect to. Now, boys, you know that the 'Y' has got to stand by the Army and say nothing, for if we should attempt to reply to your com­plaints our defense would include some reflection on the boys who ac­cent our service and.tjie,p growl behind

k

the nationaljoy smoke

our backs.' We flcrrt'tro mat, rmn we won't. If our secretaries are short of supplies and boys have to go away disappointed how many realize that the condition is due to the fact that the Army takes over most of our motor transport outfit as fast as it lands in France? That we are in need of trucks to carry our supplies from port to front line? No one appreciates what a fine lot of men the American officers are more than I do, but I will tell you this that the doughboy doesn't talk to you as he does to the *Y* man, and that I have heard more kicks j against officers from him than I have against the 'Y'."

When I stopped speaking they looked at me for a moment, and then one j said: "Well, Bishop, I suggest that j you be appointed to go along the lines i and explain some things the boys don't I consider when they blame the *Y\ I You've certainly changed our minds." j

My last word was this: "No, I didn't j come over for that purpose. I will hand the commission you describe j back to you. Will you take it?" i "Sure", was the answer, and the inci- | dent was closed.

ONLY BRIGHT -SPOT IN BIST

So General Glenn, Commander of the 83rd Division, Calls the Y. M. C. A. Hotel in That City

Copyright 1919 by R.J. Reynolds

Tobacco Co.

NEVER was such right-handed-two-fisted smokejoy as you puff out of a

jimmy pipe packed with Prince Albert! That's because P. A. has the quality!

You can't fool your taste apparatus any more than you can get five aces out of a family deck! So, when you hit Prince Albert, coming and going, and get up half an hour

v earlier just to start stoking your pipe or rolling cigarettes, you know you've got the big prize on the end of your line!

Prince Albert's quality alone puts it in a class of its own, , .but when you figure that P. A. is made by our exclusive

itented process that cuts out bite and parch—well—you like getting a flock of dictionaries to find enough words

|to express your happy days sentiments! Toppy red bag*, tidy red tint, handsome pound md^ half-poundJm

Company, Winston-Salem, N. C.

Boston, Mass., April—"The criticism directed against tie Army Y. M. C. A. is unfair, unjust and unwarranted," declared Major-General Edwin F. Glenn, commander of the S3rd Divi­sion, Ohio and Pennsylvania troops, who gave such a sterling account of themselves in France.

"I have tried to find something to warrant this criticism," General Glenn said, "but have been unsuccessful in this respect. 1 was in constant touch with Y. M. C. A. leaders and they did a magnificent work for me and my men."

General Glenn asserted that in his •ntire division "not a single unit but was given every attention that every member was entitled to and then Bome." He stated he was familiar j with the various activities conducted I by the Y. M. C. A. referring especially j to the hotels conducted in "France as being "a very important factor in maintaining the morale of the men." |

In referring to the city of Brest, j the general declared that the hotel j there managed by the Y. M. C. A. was I the only bright, spot, in the city. The Y. M. C. A. managed hostelries, he said, were great necessities, .as they j were places where the American sol­dier could get food at reasonable pric­es and likewise afford him an oppor­tunity for recreation, thereby keeping him off the streets.

In the opinion of Gen. Glenn, the Y. M. C. A. made a mistake in as­suming the burdens of the post ex­change.
