EWS AND

Woman and the Cause of Peace.


Baron d 'EstOurnelles de Constant of
Paris, the advocate of International con-
ciliation, was seen at the New Willard.
In speaking of woman's influence, the
French senator and diplomat said: The
influence of woman to-day is spreading
i as is that of the common peopIe-as are
the influences of music art, and sci
ence which, like that of woman, are un-
ceasing. intangible, and universal. Dis
regarding a few preCieuscS ridicules, dolls,
caricatures-these are inevitable and neg
ligibIe-this influence of woman is con-
stantly working secretly against war, as
Jeanne dare years ago worked openly.
This | repeat. is one of the reasons
why the influence OF woman has always
been antagonized. why it is antasonized
to-day, and will be for years to come,
by every means. not only legislative and
public, but by the most hypocritical and
the very lowest, even by corruption
1t is not enough to dominate woman,
to take advantage of her, to thrust her
TO the second place. The way TO reduce
her to absolute powcrlcssness, and not
TO take from her the right and even the
desire to protest. is to bury her under
flowers to debase her. OF course, this
corruption is encouraged by all those
who profit by it, beginning with the rich
mems sons, who must have their fling.
These must SOW their wild oats, but
we must not forget that some youth is
having its fling at the cost Of other
youth Thus there is developed a whole
more or less unconscious system Of cor
ruption. working from above down, from
those who ought to be furnishing bet
te- example. There is actually a bust
ness Of pornOgraphy, through which
large corporations are enriching them
selves. just as in every country the

alcohol. We preach abstinence and We

SOCIALIST PAPER STOPS TEMPORARILY
 FOR LACK OF FUNDS

The bridgeport Socialist, a small weekly publication issued under the auspices of the local Socialist party, has been temporarily suspended for lack of funds. The publication was originally issued as a series Of cam paign documents before the last elec- tion. After November the party attempted to continue the little paper but found the proposition too expen- sive.
 Last night at meeting of the So- cia,ist local it was voted to suspend publication for the present and to as- sess the party members 10 cents a week until all debts of the paper were paid up.
 Steps also were taken toward the formation Of stock company which may later start the publication upon a more assured basis.
 Alderman Frederick Cederholm re- signed last night as organizer, a po- sition which corresponds to town chairman in the other parties. He was succeeded by John Tuthil, an old and active member of the party.

Warning Given
 To The Bosses
Politicians Must Not Seek to Make Capital Out of Hart
 ford Criminal Case
WHITE SLAVERY MUST GO
Revelations of Recent Trial Bring Questions More Important Than
 Party Politics.

Hartford, Dec 27-The first steps in the work of cleansing Hartford af- ter the White Slave" revelations in the trial of Pasquale Pign1uolo, the United States secret service agent, for alleged blackmailing of a disorderly housekeeper, have been taken and Professor Edwin Knox Mitchell of the Hartford Theological seminary, who is chairman of the committee on social hygiene of the Federation of church. es, has issued a warning that if any party or any politicians stand in the way of the work they will be crush ed.
 James B. Reynolds, United States district attorney for. New York city. spent several hours in conference with Professor Mitchell on Sunday, and he also called at police head quarters. MT. Reynolds, because of the position he occupies in the gov ernmert service, is more keenly inc terested in the stamping out of the White Slave traffic than any other man in the country
 Prof. Mitchell in an interview, af- ter declaring that the matter of pros- ecution would be put up to the city officials, and that they would be backed up to the limit, said:
 ''The time to talk has ended, and the time for action has come. We are under no illusions as to the Ti- tanic struggle we have entered.
 ''The 25 and more years which l have given to the study of history, have revealed to me how deeply the forces of evil can entrench them selves. We are in this warfare for the rest of our lives. It is no spasm of virtue Or light campaign for re- form. Men and women of Hartford who value their homes and the purity and virtue of their children, refuse longer to be trifled with.
 "There is one warning which I de- sire to give; if any party or politi- contest, we will array against them the moral forces of this city, and crush them to defeat. This is no idle boast. The citizens of Hartford are more deeply interested in this matter than those questions relating to party politics. They are not to be mentioned in the same breath
 the revised scriptural passages of Proverbs V; I, 2:16. and VII, verses 25 to 27, as excellent counsel for young men of Hartford to follow.
 New Haven, Dec 27-Some time ago, when the blackhand and White Slave gangs had been rounded up by rumors that these people, half dozen Or more of whom are now serving terms in State prison had reason to believe that they were in way inn mune from arrest because of their a1- leged friendliness with political heeI- city. Nothing ever came to light to warrant these rumors, but it is known that some of these criminals had a great deal of confidence. It is be- lieved' that New Haven is now clear of White Slavery and the blackhand.
