The average woman's taste for politics
is a negligible quantity. II has always
been and will be. The only reason the
suffragists want the vote is because IL is
refused them. Once obtained, they take
little interest in it. After all, politics, the
science of government, is a matter Of
daily routine, the consistent administra-
ton and regulation of city, town and
state II is not established for reforma-
tory purposes, as the suffragists appear

FAlRF IELD COUPLE WERE PO PASSENGERS
 ON FUGITIVE SHIP

On board the Kronprinzissen Ce- cilie North German Lloyd Company the ship loaded with treasure which turned back and sought the neutral waters Of Bar Harbor, were MT. and Mrs. Frederick Sturges, Jr., of Fair
 field. Friends of the couple anxious1y awaited word of the ship. for the stories of its pursuit lby rival powers caused the greatest anxiety, as 1t was render on the part of Captain Polack. commander of the vessel, warships would fire upon it.
 All fears were laid at rest yesterday afternoon when reports were received that the vessel had sought a haven
 of safety in Maine. This report was later followed by a; telegram announce
 ing the safety of the party. It is thought that, as a result of the par- row escape of the vessel, MT. and Mrs.
 Sturges will return to Fairfield, their
 home, and await the cessation of hos
 tiiities in Europe before making the tour of the countries.
 Captain Polack. commander of the vessel, is one of the oldest captains 1 in the employ of the North German II1oyd It is but a few months ago, that a banquet was given to him by the company upon the anniversary of his one hundredth round trip across ! the ocean. This. was held while the gigantic vessel was tied up to the docks at Hoboken, N.IJ Among those present were some of the oldest sea captains in New Y ork. A gold watch
 was presented him by the members oi the crew.
 l Tn all his years of service, Captain l Polack's record has not been marred | by a sea tragedy. or even by the mos ! minor accident. His presence of mind
 and ability to grasp the most trying situation quickly has won him g. ris-
 tinction seldom held by modern shiT I commander.
 ! MT. and Mrs. Sturges are expected to return home some time during ths 4 week.
