on land and on sea. The balance
Of power in Europe has been dis

Orient has been changed by the phenom-

passing over China, with indications of a

the part Of the peacemaker among the ma

These lessons have value for other ma
lions, but their grea value Is for
America, as our own country now crosses
the threshold of a great International ca
reer. While a general interest attaches
to the war operations on land, our chief
concern Is with the development of war
operations on the sea, for Americas whole
contact with the world, in war and peace,
is over the ocean.
The first and last lesson taught by this
war is the paramount Importance Of con
trolling the sea within the zone Of wal
operations. Had Russia held undisputed
control OF the sea In the Far East at the
outset Japan, unable to reach the main
land and her own kingdom open to In
vasion, would have acquiesced in the Rus
sian occupation of Manchuria and FREEDOM

A few hundred millions put into ships IN

domination of the Orient and changed the
course OF the world. When Japan gained

GILLETTE HAD
LONELY DAY.
Herkimer Prisoner Alleged to
Have Made a Confession
A Talks Of the Tragedy.

HERKIMER, n. Y, Nov. Colchester
q. Gillette, the young man now on trial
here charged with the murder of Grace
Brown, his sweetheart, spent a lonely
Thanksgiving day in his cell in the
county Jail. He received no visitors,
his Keepers having been given strict
orders to permit no one TO 20 to his
cell. But eve in his loneliness Gil
lette welcomed the respite from the
trying ordeal which began in earnest
wednesday when he went on the wit
ness stand to tell his own story of that
tragic day on Big Moose lake. For
nearly seven hours he withstood a vol
ley of questions. ut first friendly, when
his counsel had him in hand, and later
anta2onistic, when the district attorney
faced him for the long cross examina-
ton. Gillette was tired, worn and
Very pale when the adjournment was
taken. and ven the severest part Of
the questioning remained.
The holiday gave the youthful pris-
oner an opportunity to regain his COM
posture and to fortify himself for the
real struggle, which will come when
the o examination is resumed.
There are different opinions here as
to the effect of his testimony Wednes-
day. Some are firm in the belief that
by his story the prisoner lost his bat
tie for freedom and that 4 verdict of
murder, at least i'll the second degree.
is almost sure to follow. Others, how
ever, assert that Gillette's story ac-
counted for almost every bit of testi-
mony which the district attorney
brought forth and explained the pris
oner's every act. One thing is certain.
however, which is that whether or not
the prisoner convinced the jury that
he was not directly responsible for
Grace Browns death, he did convince
every n in the courtroom that he
was indirectly responsible for it.
In his cross examination the district
attorney made Gillette acknowledge
that he accomplished the girls ruin
after repeated resistance on her part.
Gillette also said that talk of mar
riage had never come up between
them, and his own story established
the fact that it was because she was
because of her condition and
the circumstances which Gillette had
brought upon her that she jumped into
the lake to her death.
Relentlessly waving a powerful chain
of evidence around Gillette, District
Attorney Ward today played the pros
ecution's trump card at the resumption
of the trial in the testimony of Il Her
kimer Jail attache who is said to have
overheard the prisoner tell hio lawyers
that he had struck the girl after her
plunge into the water.

Him Before She Did Ii.

THORNTON, r. l., Nov. 3O.-Ethe,
Smithg the little fifteen-year-old daugh.
ter Of Special Policeman Leandel
Smith,. is under arrest at the home OF
Chief of Police Rowland Kimball here
charged with killing Elmer Briggs, q
resident of this town.
The circumstances of the killing were
such that after being obliged to arrest
the child Chief Kimball took her to
his house. gave her q Thanksgiving
not 80 to jail SO long as she was under
his jurisdiction.
The tragedy was the elimination of
an estrangement between Briggs and
his wife. About two weeks ago Briggs
is alleged to have deserted his wife.
leaving her without means to support
herself and her three small children.
Special Officer Smith. who is a well
known farmer, took pity upon the des-
titute woman, and he and his wife re-
ceived Mrs. Briggs and her children
into their home and were arranging
to send them to the home of Mrs.
Briggs brother, who lives in Mantle.
During the absence of Smith. Briggs
arrived at the Smith house and de-
handed admission, which was refused
by Charles Halliday, u colored cook,
the only man about the premises at the
time. Briggs threatened to make trou-
lie, and Halliday started to bring
Chief of Police Kimball to the scene.
leaving in the house Mrs. Briggs and
her children, Mrs. Smith and Ethel
The women and children. fearing that
Briggs would force an entrance, locked
all the doors and windows and built
barricades of chairs.
Ethel procured her fathers revolver,
a 30 caliber weapon. AS soon as Hail.
day was out of sight Briggs again de
manded admittance. This being re-
fused, he drew a large carving knife
from beneath his coat and cut away
the netting from the screen on the
front door. He then smashed a pane
OF glass in the door, reached his arm
on the inside, turned the key in the
lock and threw back the bolt.
AS he started to enter the house
Ethel warned him that she would
shoot. Briggs paid no attention to
the child's words, and as he forced the
door open the little girl fired twosshots
at him, both bullets lodging in his
body. Briggs hesltated for a moment
and then kept on. The child fired
three more shots, every bullet talIings
effect, and Briggs staggered back and
FELL dead on the steps.
Chief Kimball was obliged to arrest
the child, but all of those who were at
the house at the time of the shooting
say that when Briggs approached the
house he was muttering threats to kill
his wife and children.

MEAT CAUSES ROW.
eecSsion Over Butcher Shops Re
suits in Split in Paterson.


PATTERSON, Nov. 30:-After a
long session in this city, it was an
nOunced yesterday that the Hebrew
L 2clcsiastical Board of the United
$ atcs has decided that the Congre-
cation Sinai Birth shall abolish the
two kosher butcher shops which it
recently established; that the ortho-
doX congregations of the city must
subscribe $1,000, in consideration of
which Il local rabbi shall remove TO
another city, and that three of the
five authorized slayers of kosher
meat at present employed here must
be removed and three Others appoint
ed.
Until recently almost all the kosh-
er meat used here was killed in New
York city. There was only n Or
thodoX rabbi in the city, he being
connected with the Congregation
Ahamath Joseph. A local house I'M
dertook to supply kosher meat, a
rabbi coming to- the city daily to
oversee the Strengthening. There was
no trouble until the Congregation
B'nai Birth decided to have a rabbi
for its own place of worship. The
now rabbi had not been here long
when he announced that the laws of
the church had been ~disregarded in
the preparation of kosher meat. This
caused ~dissension in the church. AL
though most of the congregation
stood by the rabbi, fifty members de-
cided to sever their relations. Those
who remained loyal, together with
the rabbi, proceeded to open two
butcher shops for the sale OF meat
that had been properly slaughtered.
The seceders planned to establish a
church of their own and began to
look for a suitable site. Then the
other orthodox congregations took a
hand in the matter and tried to effect
a settlement of the dispute, but, fail
ing, called on the Ecclesiastical
Board to decide the question. The
decision of the board settles the
kosher meat question, but it has NO
effect on the split in the Congrega-
ton B'nai Birth. us the members
who bolted have decided to form a
new congregation.
