for war at a moments notice
President Roosevelt reiterated
time and again the advantages OF
this policy. President Taft has
adopted much the same view by
removing from responsible posi-
tons officers who are on the re.
tired list.
One of the most important fea-
lures of the maneuvers will be the
firing of the big guns under battle

Generally speaking, 1t is believed
that these maneuvers will mark a
new epoch in the American navy.
The game of war will be played
more energetically and more scien'
tifically than ever before. And
whether the ships are at sea or
in port they will always have the
appearance of engines of destruc-

that the prospect Of war is as seri,
ously considered in the United
States as it is in the countries
overseas, where the fear of the
world powers is being expressed in
constantly growing naval budgets
and the rapidly increasing number
OF launchings of the grim
leviathans of war.

 STATE LAW

Hartfor)d, Nov. 2-In the meeting of board of police commissioners last evening, Commissioner Normand F. Allen brought up the subject of the en- forcement of automobile laws, and said that in many respects the state laws are being disregarded by automobilists. One of these, he said, was the ignoring of the statute requiring that all autos at night should have their rear num- bers lighted so the number can be read at a distance of sixty feet. To do this it is necessary to have the light shine directly on the number, and few seem to this. Another section of the law flagrantly violated, he said, was that providing for the use of mufflers on the engines. Chauffeurs are in the habit of going through the city at all hours with their "cut-outs" wide open, making an excessive noise, when the law prohibits the use of the cut out
 at all within the city limits
 Chief William F. Gum has issued orders to the entire department to see that these statutes ares trictly enforced in the future.

FAIRFIELD


 By all odds the most interesting por- ton of the exercise connected with the recent meeting of the State Audubon society was the delightful talk on birds given by Game Warden Wilbur F. Smith. of Norwalk. After the business of the meeting had been finished and a good luncheon served. MT. Smith brought out his lantern slides and threw a series of beautiful bird pie lures upon the screen. These were made by himself from photographs taken in various towns in this State and inVermont. Interspersed with the birds were pictures of rare spring flowers and enchanting landscapes, with now and then those of animal life. All interesting slide exhibited the nest of an Hungarian pheasant. containing 14 eggs. which was made in an open field of grass, on the tpo of the ground, without the slightest pro- lection, not far from MT. Smiths home. When the moving machine came along it cut off wing of the mother bird. which had to be killed and the nest was destroyed Another series of slides gave the life story of a doe when very young and brought up by hand It became very tame and had the run of the farm house. where 1t had been reared. MT. Smith selects some one bird and gives it's little life in a series of pictures from the time
 
 young are able to desert their home and fly out into the great world. A series of pictures related to the COW bird, which is matched in a nest with other eggs, and which. as 1t grows up, crowds the rightful occupants out. al- ways seeks for the most food, becomes ungrateful for favors received and finally turns upon it's foster mother The character given the COW bird was anything but unselfiish and grateful. It needed no reminder. on the part of Mir Smith. to point the human moral, or cite instances among men who re- semble the COW bird. MT. Smith has experimented with stuffed owls and hawks. placed In trees. to note what effect their presences would have up on our common song birds The owl would be viciously attacked by all kinds of birds, even the sparrow get ting in a dig, but the hawk caused dread and consternation. Mir. Smith has a poor opinion of crows, and thinks the more of them killed. the better.
