 - The doors were fastened Qn the in- ,Side, and entrance was obtained by forcing the door, after the body had sbeen seen in a sitting position in the Tub through a transom, which was sbroken that the view might be ob- ftained.

 Worry over financial affairs. and the fact that his wife had left him re gently are said to be the reasons fol the deed.

EUROPEAN WAR
 HAS CAST SHADOW
Over Eastern conneetieut convents-- Majority of Sisters Are Natives of Countries Involved.

Though usually immune from the worries that are common to those mingling in the affairs of the world. the great European war has cast its shadow over the various convents i'll eastern Connecticut towns and cities, where majority of the Sisters are of foreign birth. This is particularly true in Putnam, DRnielson, Willimantio, Baltic and Moosup, and also in Wau- regan. Many of the Sisters in these Holy Ghost, St. Joseph and Sisters of Mercy-are natives of France. Not a few of them have brothers or other relatives in the ranks of the French army, and the crisis now fast ap- proaching in Belgium and in Alsace- Lorraine Is almost certain to cast the shadow of death upon their families, Others of the Sisters are natives of Belgium, and they. too, are cast down by the horrors now being visited upon their native iand. That the burden of the war is upon them Is not apparent, however, to even the critical observer, for they go about their customary du- ties with the same sweet patience and piety that marks all of their work. Only semi occasionally do they see a paper some of them never at all, and such death and destruction as may be vis- ited upon their relatives and their relatives property will not be known to them probably for months and months. In the meantime they are burdened with the awful knowledge that their loved ones are battling ir the greatest war in history, and tol | them their prayers are daily-houriy- offered.

the WORLDS NEED

The President of the United
States yesterday made an appeal
to all Americans to remain calm
during the European conflict. He
declared that the United States
owes it to mankind to remain in
position to help the rest of the
world during the present crisis.
President Wilson puts the ap-
peal on high and true grounds.
The world has such need Of Am
erica as it has never had since
this country was established to
be refuge for the poor and OPP
pressed of all nations. The world
has need of America. and Ameri-
ca can not. must not, fail in it, the
hour of its greatest need.
Motives of the highest self-in-
terest dictate calmness and COM
mon sense to America at this mo-
ment. These motives alone WOULD
have furnished a sufficient justi-
fication for the Presidents coun-
sci for wisdom and moderation
But over and above this aspect of
the case looms the higher reason
that by such a course America
will serve humanity.
The United States owes it to
humanity to remain calm, neutral,
self-collected. SO that at the pro-
per moment it may protfer its
good offices to restore neace am
ong the warning peoples Of Eur
ope, and back that proffer with
all the prestige of a great and
friendly nation that has kept her
material and moral resources UNI
impaired amid the conflict.
During recent events in which
our country has been involved
President Wilson's reference to
humanity seemed to many people
tritle academic. Today, in the
glare of the great conflagration
that is bursting over Europe, we
see clearly how noble is even the
will to serve humanity, how great
the obligation, how priceless the
opportunity which the European
situation presents to our country.
Strong. calm, self-contained
self-confident, fearing nought.
realizing that by what almost
seems a special interposition of
Providence. our country is the on
ly one of the great powers of the
European race that is beyond the
widening ring of war. the only
one that remains to speak with
'disinterested voice for peace, let
us wait the favorable opportun-
ity that the President desires to-
serve humanity.-Chicag Herald
(Ind.).

HOW IT GOES TO
BE AN EDITOR
He may Get Unjust Blame and Too
Much Praise In The Same
Hour
AS VIEWED FROM 2 ANGLES
From One Of Them He Looks Very
Small But From tho Other
He ts Larger

Variety is the spice of life. Last
Friday morning. as the editor of
the Times was on his way down
to his office he was hailed by an
esteemed citizen of this city who
gave him one of the worst cur
taia lectures he has had this
month: He began by accusing us
OF having failed to publish in his
paper that week a certain "Want
Notice" that had been handed to
him when away from the office,
and after that had been thorough
ly threshed out he branched off
in various other directions,
charging us with about all the
sins against propriety and good
Judgment that are mentioned in
tn" catechisms.
Of course, we had to plead
guilty to the first charge, for
there was that "Wanted" still IN
an out side pocket. and not until
we had asked our accuser if he
had never forgotten to mail a let
ter his wife had sent to the post
office with him, did he drop that
end OF the discussion. Then other
tiihNS "CIC Sdlu ClIdU were CdlCu-
lated to make the editor feel about
as small as a 240-pounder can
we'll get.
Proceeding to our office we
found among our morning mail
letter written by another esteem
ed citizen Of the city, the author
of which had apparently seen us
from another angle. 1t read as fol-
lows:
Editor Times: I have been a
constant reader of the Times
since you took charge of it. as
we'll as before, and I want to con-
graduate you on its present clean
and newsy columns. it's strong ed
itorials and the general good sense
shown in both what it publishes
and in what it does not publish.
In my Judgment the Times is now
by far the best and most ably
conducted newspaper ever print
ed in this city and should be in
every home in the county.
Very truly yours etc.
After reading this fulsome flat
terry we concluded that it about
offset what we had been told by
another citizen few minutes be-
fore. and concluded that maybe
life was still worth living after
all.
