ONE of the ferments of our political
life, so to speak, and one comparatively
new to American politics, is socialism.
So far there is very little argument on
the part of its advocates as to the
meaning of its so-called principles or
what it proposes to do. This leaves
those on the outside in state of con-
fusion. But one thing we can see and
that is that socialism is trying to build
up in this republic class divisions and
class spirit Do we want such divis-
ions and such spirit? Does the plain,
common sense of the American people
want any such construction of Ameri-
can society? Do we want a political
condition whereby we shall be fenced
off continually into laborers and en-
ployers, working people and aristocrats
with no prospect of change from one
to the other? The genius of American
liberty has produced a condition of
things whereby man may change his
position in society simply because there
is no fixed class spirit here. Each man
is the architect and to certain extent
the arbiter of his own fortune Fort

not one of those who can fight to the
last ditch. There is in him a streak of
timidity-a white feather tinge to his
character that is likely to show itself
in the face of danger and throw him
into panic, in which he deserts the
cause. In every contest in which we

any moment this characteristic would
begin to play its pranks and leave the

COAST GUARD
 COMING HOME Members of Artillery Corps Are Instructed in Fight
 ing War Ships.
SERVICE MOST ENJOYABLE

The Bridgeport members of the Coast Artillery Corps, c. N. G., will return tc-morrow Drowned by their service at Fort Terry, where the men have had thoroughly enjoyable time, although it has been mixed with hard work.
 Fort Terry is situated on Plum Is land, cut on the Sound, about eight miles from New London. The space used for a camp is 200 yards wide and 20 feet higher than the water, giving the volunteers a high and dry camp with plenty of healthy salt air to breathe. The food this year is said to be excellent and taken all around the men are admirably situated.
 The members are allowed 260 rounds Of sub-calibre ammunition and Is rounds of service ammunition.
 The sub-calfbre ammunition is used by placing a smaller barrel in the mortar and firing a projectile weighing six pounds. This ammunition is used for target practice only.
 The regular service ammunition is a projectile weighing 1-O46 pounds and fired from the mortar into the air by a large charge. of forty-eight pounds of smokeless powder. The projectiles go three miles into the air and land out in the water from one to six miles from the fort. There are three ways of attacking a warship: From the bottom by means of mines; the sides by means of guns and decks by means of mortars. The decks are considered the weakest point of a warship and the instruction given at Fort Terry is in the art of attacking warships in that weakest point. By means of a plotting board and other apparatus the speed of warship per mile is taken, the density of the air and other things considered and then the mortar is fired at a given minute. If the plotting has been correct the projec- tile from the mortar drops onto the deck of the warship at a given point.
 To man every gun in the coast de- fense of the United States would take every regular and volunteer now en- listed for one relief. In time of actual warfare there must be three reliefs. In order to supply the necessary num- Der of men every man now enlisted in coast defense service must, in the ad- vent of war breaking out, teach at least two men the duties of the posi- tion he now holds.

BOX RANG ITSELF

New Haven, July 23.-A peculiar cause for a fire alarm was that which lay back of the ringing of box 228, the private box of the L. c. Bates company in George street, shortly be- fore o'clock yesterday afternoon. The box came ir: all right and the four fire companies hastened at once to the scene, expecting from the private box to find probably a bad fire raging. The call was a false alarzA. Investigation showed that officials and employees Of the company were as much surprised to their box ringing in as the firemen, and that none of the glasses in the box and it's auxiliaries had been brok- en. The only explanation is that some wires got crossed and sent in the alarm entirely upon the initiative of the box itself.

of the identity of the dead woman is almost a certainty. Just what Me- Namara's connection with the case is, MT. Pond refused to state. In police headquarters MT. Pond and Detective Sergeant Donnelly, whose good work has so far opened up the case, ex- anined four or five witnesses last night, among whom was McNamara: Nothing could be learned of what came out at this examination.
 McNamara has a long police record and it is believed that this as much as anything else helped to bring about his arrest. He is known to have been mixed up in several cases in which women were concerned, and at one time he was charged with the assault of a girl in Edgewood park. He has been employed at various odd jobs none of which has been of permanent character.
 MT. Pond stated last night that his examina tion of McNamara will be con- tinued to-day, when further light on the case is expected to be thrown.

Detective Sergeant Henry J. Don nelly of the New Haven detective bu- reau, has communicated with the Bridgeport detective bureau relative to the identity of the young woman whose remains were found in swamp in
 Orange. It appears that a woman
 supposed to be this one told people in Orange that she had friends in Bridge port. The Now Haven police believe that her identity must be sought here. Her clothing, however, had been pur- chased in New Haven. The local de- tective bureau is making an investiga- ton.
