Detectives are hunting for a very
prominent Pittsburg official of the
steel trust as witness in the divorce
case which her husband has brought
against Mrs. Constance Stonebracker.
They were sent to Pittsburg some
days ago, but the official knew they
were coming and he has been able to
elude them.
OF course, he could not be COM
PEELED, under the subpoena which
they have, to return to New York to
testify. but the service of the paper
would bring his name into the case.
He is not the only well known man
mentioned by the irate husband.

when he played on Princeton's foot

BLOWING UP THE NIGER.

The destruction of' the British war slip Niger by q German submarine, adds to the important exploits which that branch of the German navy has seen accomplishing. The picking off of this vessel, not only in it's own terri tory. but almost at an English wharf displays the accuracy and daring with which the enemy Is operating.
 Accompanying the report of the blowing up Of the vessel is the ex- ulanatlon that it was little used and of an obsolete type, but such does not lessen the accomplishment of the in- vaders in making a raid upon the English coast. Fortunate indeed as these conditions may be, and even ot greater importance is the fact that t51arried only g. small crew and there was no loss of life, yet it demonstrates hat by the submarine the German navy is getting past the British pa- acl at various points. They are oper- atiag either at long distances or have established a base upon the Belgium Coast from which the English coast and navy are open to attack.
 As far as the accomplishment oi he submarine is concerned, 1t is none 45s less important because the victim was only the Niger. It Is the good foftune of Great Britain that it was 1qt a larger or Q more modern ship 9Sen one of it's latest dreadnougf1ts ,or the officers of that underwater ter 'or were bent upon the destruction oi whatever was found. It makes it quite .y4dept that the British admiralty still las something with which to keep it: mind occupied in dealing with the ferrnau submarines.

NEW YoRK,s PROBLEM.

New York has been given further evidence of the existence and activity of the bomb throwers. Though the only harm was the damage of an ex- pensive county court house, there are good reasons for believing that the missile was thrown for the additional purpose of taking the life of the judge who had been presiding over the trial of white slavers. Thus is indicated the linking together of that great evil and the forces of anarchy, or else those who are determined not to obey the laws of the land regarding white slav- cry have endeavored to strengthen their horrible business by supporting it with anarchistic principles and acts.
 It calls the attention of the netrop- oIis to the dangerous conditions which are still being fostered in it's midst. The accidental blowing up of the nest of bombmakers has not caused the disappearance of the students of such methods. Now the threats of death and the acts of destruction are being employed for the purpose of swaying justice and though they failed both in the prevention of conviction and in carrying out the full purpose of the tomb throwing, they nevertheless dis close 8 situation towards which that city should never relent until it is overcome. The perpetrators of such a crime deserve the full application of the law. There can be no half way station for public sentiment in such a revelation. It is bad enough that one form of evil should have its way as much as it does but when attempts are made to force it through the
 Black Hand and bombs, it is time to call rigid halt and see that law and order are properly maintained.

conNEcrnur PorAIoEs.

Numerous instances of large potato crops are being reported about the state, the past season having been a good one for potatoes or else more than the usual amount of interest and increased acreage were devoted to the cultivation of the spuds. and it would not be surprising if it was attributable to all three reasons. Certainly when 1t is shown by the figures of the bu- reau of crop estimates of the depart ment of agriculture that the potato production in Connecticut reaches the estimated total of 3.360,000 bushels in comparison with 2,20S, 900 bushels last year there is a reason.
 This years crop by no means es- tablishes record for it is in fact considerably below what Connecticut has done in recent years for the crop in 1900 amounted to 3,493, 900 bushels so that encouraging as the production is this year it has been beaten.
 What should be stimulation to increased production of potatoes Is furnished by two large raisers, one in Hartford and the other in Middlesex county who in the past year averaged respectively 166 and 16S bushels to the acre, with a total yield of over 1000 bushels. There is no doubt but what there are others who have done cor respondingly as well and have dem onstrated that Connecticut son Is capable of handsome returns if prop erly treated.
 There is no reason why Connecticut should not continue to improve the opportunities in agriculture. There are plenty of instances of the productivity of the soil, and what has been done can be repeated Connecticut is far from worn out agriculturally.

THE WAR PRIMER :. By National Geographic Society

Eresnss-A small town in the north ern part of France five miles north of Valenciennes and four miles from the Belgian border, with a population of about 5000. The first vein of coal in that part of France was discovered at Fresnes, and coal-mining has ever since been the principal industry. Glass works and beet-sugar factories also contribute their share to the ac- tivities of the place.
 Chabatz-A fortified town of Servia, on the right bank of the River Save, 40 miles west of Belgrade, on height overlooking the confluence of the Kalnenitza and the Save. The town was founded in 1470 by the Turks, was taken over by the Imperialists in 1895, and by the peace of Passarowitz n I767, fell under the Austrian sway. After many vicissitudes it was again occupied by the Turks from 1916 to 1887. The present population is about 15,0oO. The place Is the principal

NEUTRALITY DIFFICULTIES.

@ The difficulties of maintaining neu- s&rality are many and require no small Samount of attention and care by the se Countries which have taken such a Stand in the present war. Many situa- ssstions which are likely to arise from H Declaring an impartial attitude have Been provided for in international law sssnd rules which have been agreed -upnn to govern in such contingencies, xas4d 1t must bs the aim of every neu- -aral government to see that they are enforced and not winked at. Tn the matter of new circumstances the best Judgment is called for with a clear demonstration of tbe fact that favor ftfsm is intended for neither side. ss.e4n calling attention to alleged eva Sfons of neutrality in Ecuador and Co., sombia- Great Britain and Trance ap- parently have some ground upon which f6s base their communications to the sffect that German vessels have been A3ded both as to wireless and coaiing f1atlities. In common with the prac- AiGe where countries in North and South America are concerned this country has been informed and deniaIs have been made by the representatives of those governments that such accu- sattons are true.
 Tn both Of these matters this coun- try has had recent experience. It is possible that there is as persistent effort on the part of certain ones to abd belligerents from points in those countries as appeared to be the case at different points in this country un- til stopped by g firm hand. The pro- tests which have been made to Ecua- dor and Colombia are likely to bring them to a greater realization of the responsibility which neutrality carries with it, even though the governmentl nfay not have been wilfully neglt- ggnt.

 The desire was born in their young minds to help. But how?
