any vestige of truth this war must be
regarded as the most horrible of mod
ern times The intense hatred which
lies back of the war is participated in
by every soldier on both sides and the
inspiring spirit of the conflict is to
make the enemy suffer as much as
possible without a vestige Of human
ity or mercy. Mr. Ka1awttz expects
every day to hear of the death of his
partner and hardly dares hope that he
may escape when thousands are giving
I'D their lives daily. The ou tside world
gets very little accurate information
of the war because both sides are CEN
soring the news sent out with the
strictest regulations ever enforced up
on correspondents in a war Both sides
are bound to win. The allies believe
they are the agents of God in punish
against Christianity and the Moslems
spurred with a holy war declared by
intense nature and they fight to the
death without hoping for quarter or
granting it.

HORRORS OF BALKAN WAR
DESCRIBED IN LETTER
His Partner Who Went Home to
Greece to Fight the Turks.
STRATFORD

Stratford, Jan 21-James Kalawitz
of the Stratford Candy Kitchen has
his partner Joseph Chapie who went
home to Greece to fight with the allies
against the Turks. These advices in
dictate that people away from the
scene of the war have little idea of its
horrors. At the time Mr.. Chapie an
swered the call Of his country he was
accompanied by three friends who be-
longed to the same company of re-
serves. Of the .Quartette only Chapie
remains, the others having been killed
in battle Two of these came from
Derby and the other from Ansonia. A
pictorial supplement issued by news
paper in Athens gives Photographic re-
productions of actual scenes at the
seat of war and they beggar descrip-
Bulgarian cholera camp. The letters
which accompanied the paper give in
tereStng and horrifyiIig details of the
spread of this scourge in the armies
of the allies as well as in those of
the Turks. The victims are in isolated
camps where they are abandoned to
their fate. So great is the dread Of
the disease that supplies are carried
to the camps in Oxcarts and hastily
dumped on the ground on their out
skirts where they are left to be found
by the unfortunates. The photograph
shows the ground strewn with the
dead and dying
Hordes Of hungry wild dogs which
are well known feature of Constan-
tinople and its neighboring provinces
hover about The foreground is oc-
cuPied by a dying victim stretched on
his back, praying for death with his
hands clenched. A few feet away dogs
are devouring the body of a victim
who has been n1ercifulIy released by
death. Wild dogs watch the dying
man in anticipation of a feast An
other photograph is a war scene which
rivals the most famous pictures It

to Mr.. Kalawitz as a peaceful valley
near Janina occupied by a beautiful
and flourishing village The picture
shows the result of the war A battle
is in progress and the ground is
strewn with dead and dying Rider

mounted field guns and caisEons are
scattered about and a desolate and
useless railroad runs through the

tell of the horrible atrocities of the
Turks and the terrible retribution
meted out by the allies The cruelties
practiced rival those of the American
Indians and indicate a state of bar

STORMS DISHEARTEN
OYSTER GROWERS

New Haven, Jan. 21-The recent
gales and especially the extremely dow
tide January 8 did thousands of dol
lars damage to the oyster grounds
along the shore. The extent of the
damage is problematical, and will not
be known definitely until some time in
the future when a shortage of the shell
fish will be noticed. The unusual
swell in deep waters probably did
harm and the shifting of sand in shall
low waters has probably snnothered
young oysters. Beds have been I'M
covered that have never been seen be-
fore in the memory of some of the
old oystermen. 1t is thought that the
Bridgeport industry as well as the in
dustry here is hard hit

company delighted the audience last
night and the applause at times was

skill which won him fame. He can
still produce a bowl filled with water
by making a few passes in the air,
and another one of his specialties is
bringing a bowl of goldfish from the
same mysterious source. One of the
best things in the act is Miss Chez

sang ROW, Row, Row and "Hibchy

The best sidewalk conversation act
heard here this season is the verdict
for Muller and Stanley. There is a
lot of funny dialogue and a number
of good songs.

act farce presented by Florence Lor-
rafne and Edgar Dudley. 1t has a
very original plot and much good. COM
edy is furnished by Miss Lorraine in
the part of a Swedish scrub woman
who takes the job in order to spy
her husband. Edgar Dudley is good
as the lively young lawyer, and Emma
Walker does well as the swagger\ stem

material that it is a. pity the ending
should be so tame While it is prob
ably true that the average man would
start another Irritation after the tragic
ending of the first, the public general
" likes to see virtue triumph. There

value if the curtain went down after

the nature of an anti-climax.
