human folly or human passion.

was to celebrate the wisdom which
had ended a war and avoided any sub
sequent conflict. rather than the want
of skill and wisdom which made war
possible.
The ambassador described what
had been accomplished during his
official stay in Washington to remove
differences between the United States
and Great Britain, and to avoid diff
ferences in the future. He reviewed
the three arbitrations and several
treaties leading to a settlement of
the Canadian boundary dispute; the

FIVE RATTLERS RAGGED
 BY THE SCHAGHTICOKES

Gone is the primeval freedom of the Schaghticoke mountain for five mot tied serpents of the purest rattI Iesnakc strain, baslzfng today in the sunshine of Dan Smiths gun store in Fairfield avenue. Gagged in glass, surrounded by guns and fishing tackle and other I implements pregnant with warning for the wild creatures Of the forest, the | quintet of motley skinned, beady eyed reptiles are softly rattling and wig wa gging back and forth expressions of common grief at having fallen victim to the annual invasion of rattlesnake den, in South Kent, by a band of hardy woodsInen known as the Schagh- ticoke Ratt1esna.ke club.
 The annual hunt, held yesterday, was unique in that the time honored custom of reaching the ratt1esnake den by the Berkshire train was aban- doned for the automobile. Seven tour ing cars with party of notables left Bridgeport betimes, and with Mayor Wilson and President Hill of the Board of Police Commissioners in car No. 1 to see that none of the motor laws was violated, the tourists sped into the fastnesses of the Berkshires and soon consumed the 40 odd miles to the Schaghticol5e reservation. -,
 Another novelty of the hunt was the recording of the most interesting hap penings by moving picture cameras. Dad Barber to whom was entrust- ed the periIous task of handling the deadly ratt1ers-for be it known that it is highly unSportsmanlilze to injure the snakes for they must be captured alive and 1Inscathed-was t11e center of attraction in several of the interest ing films.
 Five ratt1ers were captured, and then, tired with the arduous climb t11e hunters descended the mountain to the reservation, there to devour bar becue of sheep with tta,TI the fixin's.''
 The custom of placing a, wreath on the grave of Jim Pan, the last of the Schag agI1tfcof1eS was followed with May or Wilson placing the tribute on the mound when Dad Barber concluded his eulogy Of the departed chieftain.
 Jim Pan was a full blooded Schagh- ticoke. The Schaghticolzes were really an offshoot of the Mohican tribe, and Jim therefore was in reality the last of the Mohicans. For years Jim took an active part dn the 1hJlnt, even to the time when he was Iong past mans pidfty and uniform courtesy are cher iShed in the memories of those who have been members of the Rattlesnake club for the last decade.
 Included among the hunters in the exursion of yesterday were: Mayor Boucher, Assistant City Clerk Russell, Alderman Daniel Walker, Robert Ritz roy, J. A1eck Robinson, ex-Mayor Frank F. Clark, pr. Lincoln Banks, Louis Ml1sante, Thomas Tobin, J. H. spitt1er, James A Turner, Fritz Hart mann, George W. Finn, Thomas Gun ningham, Fritz Pfau all of Bridge port; Fred T.

suited in vast expenditures which would have impoverished the country, save for the vast industrial expansion that has come about during his rule. Coincident with this industrial pro gress, however, there has arisen a great political party, the most power full, numerically, in the fatherland, that threatens the very existence of the monarchy. In the midst Of this great festive occasion the millions of German Social Democrats stand aloof, coldly disdainfu1 of the enthusiasm of their monarc11ial neighbors.

 For months the presses of Germany have groaned with the weight of Will helm jubilee literature. In books, pamphlets, magazines, newspapers, biographical works without end, he has been credited with all the progress made in Germany in the last quarter of a, century.
