Bees and Honey.
{By S. Cheatham.)

The queen is by far the lncst inn
!porsant inhabitant of a bee hive. 1t
is not known whether she was the
one referred to as king by past gem
erations, and to this day a great
many people will ask about the
king bee. There is no king. In all
probability the queen, and the drone
were referred to as indiscriminately
as the king bee. There is a queen,
however, in every normal colony of
bees. She is the mother of all other
bees in the colony. She is regarded
with very marked Difference by the
other bees, so much that they will
defend her to the very last. If there
is anything that possesses more grit
than a well bred bull dog it is an
enraged honey bee defending its
home and mother. The queen lives
from two to four years and in her
bee days lays from two to three
thousand eggs every twenty-four
hours during the waam months. At
five or six days old she flies from
her hive on what is called her we'd
ding trip. She may fly all around
the immediate neighborhood in
quest of a drone with which to
mate. If she fails to meet drone
on this trip she will continue to
leave the hive on nice days till she
encounters drone when she will
go back to her hive fertilized for
the remainder of her life. If she is
an Italian queen and mates with an
Italian drone her progeny will be all
Italian bees.If she meets a blackdrone
her progeny will be bybreds half
Italian and half black. In the for
mer case she is what we call test.
ed or purely mated queen. In the
latter mismated queen hybreds are
good honey gatherers, but undesira-
BILE on account of their viciousness.
The only time that a queen ever
leaves her hive is when she is on
her wedding trip and when she
leads out swarm. The queen has
sting but she will not sting you
but uses her sting only on other
bees. preferably another queen.
The queen when in full way of
laying never has to stop to look for
something to eat. She is always sur
rounded by reainue of nurse bees
who deliver her chyle from their
mouths while the laying is going
right on. This retinue of bees show
her amazing Difference, always form
ing circle around her of about an
inch in diameter always with their
haeds pointing to her, moving as
she moves and never entangling her,
keeping always ont Of her way that
she may not be hindered in laying.
When the old mother gets old and
failing in laying, thereby failing to
keep up the population, the bees
raise them new queen and the old

NEW HAVEN TO BUILD
BIG FREIGHT YARD
With Capacity for Over 1000 Cars for
Providence Division.

Providence, R. L. Dec. 6.-The New
Haven railroad is to construct a freight
terminal with a capacity of over 1000
cars at some point on the Providence
division for the purpose of relieving
traffic congestion between Boston and
this city.
President Elliott, it is said, has
viewed a number of possible sites
within a few days. Land values pro-
hibit the location of the immense yards
at any point north of Readville, it is
declared. Heavy grades on the north
ern division and the estimated cost of
abolishing grade crossings make sites
at Mansfield undesirable. Possibilities
of difficult engineering feats are said to
eliminate two sites near Attleboro sta
ton. According to men who say they
know sites at East junction appear to
be favored.
At that point there is much fiat land.
But little filling will be necessary. No
highways nor bridges will increase the
cost of construction. No difficult en-
gineering problems will interfere with
the work. The plans call for sidings
with a capacity of so cars each. Twen-
ty sidingS will be necessary for the
storage of 1000 cars. In addition yard
mains will be necessary. There are to
be tanks, turntables, fuel sheds and
all the equipment necessary for the
switching and making up of trains and
for car storage.

MEETING OF DEMOCRATIC
NATIONAL COMMITTEE TODAY
Chief Interest centers in Selection of
Time and Place for National Con-
vention.

Washington, Dec. 6. - Chairman
William F. McComb's and most of the
members of the democratic national
committee were here today for the
meeting of the committee tomorrow
which will prepare for the coming
presidential campaign.
Chief interest, perhaps, in the COM
mittee's deliberations centers in the
selection of the time and place for the
next democratic national convention
Seeking the honor of being the con
vention city, are Chicago, st. Louis
Dallas and San Francisco. Delega-
tions from each of these cities are
ha1d to be prepared to offer the COM
mittee large cash inducements as well
as every convenience.
The committee also will endorse the
works of the administration and of
congress and elect a new treasurer to
succeed Rollo Wells of st. Louis who
viii! resign tomorrow and a successor
to Joseph F. Davies of Wisconsin, who
resigned as secretary upon his ap-
pJo1ntment as a commissioner of
corporations. The election of Thomas
j. Pence of this city, assistant to
Chairman McCombs, as secretary, was
forecasted.
While it is said authoritatively
that the committee will not formally
indicate its preference for the dom
ocratic candidate next year, President
wilson's denomination is expected bv
all the members.

GERMANY ASKS GROUNDS
FOR RECALL OF BOY-ED
The United States Will Reply Prompt
Iy-Sec'y Lansing Will Not Discuss
Facts.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Germany noti-
fed the United States today that she
desired to know upon what grounds
the state department asks the with
drawal of Captain Boy-Ed, the naval
attache of the German embassy here
and Captain Won Pappen, the military
attache. Secretary Lansing received
the request from two sources-from
Count Won BernStorff, the AMBASSADOR
and from the Berlin foreign office
through Ambassador Gerard.
The United States will reply prompt
ly. Mr.. Lansing will not discuss the
facts nor will he give the sources OF
information concerning the activities
of the attaches in connection with
naval and military matters to which
the state department objected. With
out reference to the reasons which
prompted the department to ask the
withdrawal of the attaches, it is stat
ed, the United States will stand upon
the established understanding among
nations that an intimation that a diplo-
matte officer has made himself dis
agreeable is sufficient to cause his re-
moval
1t was broadly intimated in Ger
many's request for information that II
the United States based its action
upon anything else than the develop
ments of the Hamburg-American line
conspiracy trial in New York, or the
case of James F. G. Archibald, the
American war correspondent who Sc
cretly carried papers for Captain Vor
Papen, as we'll as DR.. Dumba, the re-
called ambassador of Austria, the Ber-
lin foreign office might contest the
withdrawal of the two officers.

London, Dec. 6, 10 p. m-The peace
talk which emanates from the Vatican,
Switzerland and Scandinavia and has
been aroused by the proposed ques-
tions by the socialists in the reichstag,
and the pope's address in the secret
consistory, evokes no echo here. The
British people are quite prepared to
believe that Austria Hungary is tired
of war; that the people of Germany,
with the knowledge of the heavy loss
es suffered at the different fronts, may
be anxious to see an end to it; but
they do not expect the rulers of the
central powers to make any sugges-
tions that any British government
would, or could consent to.
Joint War Council of Allies.
They therefore are more interested
in news of the joint war council of
all the allies which has been formed
and which held it's first meeting in
Paris today under the presidency of
the French commander-in chief, Gen
eral Joffre and hope from this that
the war is to be prosecuted more en-
ergetically and that efforts are to be
made to clear up the diplomatic diff
culties which face the quadruple en-
tente in the Balkans.
BuIears Beaten Back by Allies.
Where and when the allies will at
tempt the stroke, which they expect to
start and turn the tide, only the con-
ferees know and they are not likely
to take the public into theiP-confi-
dence. There is evidence, however, of
Norwich bulletin. [volume] (Norwich, Conn.) 1895-2011, 1915-12-07

some change in the Balkans, where the
British and french have been beating
off Bulgarian attacks and, despite ru-
mors that a withdrawal to Saloniki,
owing to the Greek attitude, is con-
templated, more troops are being
landed. There are signs that the Greek
situation is righting itself, and des-
patches from Athens report that a
modus vivendi has been arrived at
with regard to military questions
which were awaiting settlement and
that Greek officers have gone to Sa-
loniki to bring it into force.
Very Little Fighting in Progress.
Very little fighting has occurred on
the different fronts, the artillery being
chiefly engaged in Russia, France and
on the AuStro-Italian frontier.
The British Mesopotamia force has
made good it's retirement to Kut-El-
Amara, closely followed by the Turks,
who apparently are trying to outf1ank
General Townshend from the west. As
the position is strong and reinforce
ments are arriving, it is believed the
place can be held.
Work of British Submarine in Sea OF
Marmora.
A British submarine last week car
ried out another daring raid in the Sea
of Marmora, where it damag ged the
Isnid railway by shell fire and sank
the Turkish destroyer Var Hissar, a
Turkish supply ship and four sailing
vessels.

CONGRESS ASSEMBLED AND
ORGANIZED FOR SESSION
Real Business Will Begin With Ad-
dress by President Wilson at 1890
This Noon.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Congress as
sembled and oSSanized today for the
session which is expected to be the
greatest within the memory of the
present generation.
Four hours work in the house saw
Speaker Clark returned to the chair;
Representative Mann returned to the
leadership of the republican minority;
the introduction of two thousand bills
and resolutions, many of them pro-
posing measures of national defense
and many more in opposition; the re-
appearance of constitutional amend
ments to enfranchise women and a
miniature rules fight that f1ickered out
with the adoption of last years rules
with a few changes.
In the senate, virtually nothing was
done except the election of Senator
Clark of Arkansas as president pro
tempore. Vice President Marshal was
absent because of the illness of his
wife
Both houses then, after sending a
joint committee to the White House to
give official notice of the opening of
congress, adjourned until tomorrow
when the real business of the session
begins with President Wilson's ad-
dress to joint session in the hall of
the house at 1890 o'clock.

MELLEN SAYS PROSECUTION
RUINED NEW HAVEN ROAD
Conflicting Laws of New England Re-
sponsbIe for Roads Critical Finan-
ciaI Condition.

New York, Dec. 6.-The federal
prosecution of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad and it's
directors accomplished the practical
ruin" of that railroad, in the opinion
of Charles S. Mellen, as expressed on
cross examination today at the trial
of the eleven former directors of the
road on the charge of criminal viola
ton of the Sherman law.
1t was from fear, he said, that this
would be the result of the Inquiry
into New Haven affairs begun in 1912
by the federal grand jury in New York
that he got Lewis Cass Ledyard to see
President Taft and the then attorney
general, George w. Wickersham, and
induce them at least to limit the in
quiry to the so-called Grand Trunk
deal-the alleged suppression of the
Grand Trunks proposed New England
extensions.
This was DONE" continued Mr.. Mel
len, but it meant indictment and my
destruction and the rest they accom-
plished later"
The former New Haven president
explained that at the time the New
Haven's financial affairs were in a
critical condition. The reason for
this was. he said, that on account of
| the conflicting laws of the New Eng
land states the road was virtually un-
able to refund it's obligations exceSt
through short term notes and a large
amount of this floating indebtedness
had accumulated

SERMON IN OPPOSITION TO
MILITARY PREPAREDNESS
Delivered to President Wilson by
Quaker From BarnesviIIe, Ohio.

Washington, Dec. 5.-While many
White House callers were kept waiting,
James Henderson, a Quaker from
GAINESVILLE, Ohio. delivered a sermon
to President Wilson opposing mill
tary preparedness. He quoted extern
sively from the Bible to convince the
president that the policy of increasing
the national defenses was wrong. Hen
derson told the president he had been
Liberated" by his associates to come
to Washington to urge the president
to give up the preparedness pro-
gramme, because the question of war
and preparedness should be left to a
higher power.
The president, and many callers
who were crowding into the office,
listened while Henderson spoke. The
president thanked him for his advice
and then turned to shake hands with
the next men in line. Henderson,
who was accompanied by William G.
Steer, of Tacoma, Ohio, another
Quaker, was introduced to the presi-
dent by Representative Hollingsworth.
The two Quakers saw President Taft
on a similar mission.

a description of the men and later in
the day David Herlihy of Medford.
Mass, was arrested on a charge OF
theft from person (pocket picking).
The police say a gold handled knife
belonging to Healy was found in Her
lihy's pocket.
Healy said the men induced him
to leave the train on Thursday after
noon in this city. They went to a
local cafe, where, he says, he was given
knockout drops. He came to his senses
again in the best hotel in the city
on Sunday afternoon and learned that
all his personal possessions, worth
about $3.50, were missing He says
he has but a very hazy recollection of
a few events during the intervening
three days.
It was learned that two men brought
Heaiy to the hotel late Thursday night
and engaged a room for him. They
seemed to be very solicitous for his

left and had not been seen since.
Healy's description was the only
ground on which Herlihy was arrest
ed. but the alleged finding of the gold
knife caused the charge of theft to
be entered.

LETTER ON PREPAREDNESS BY
CONNECTICUT SOCIETY, S. A. n.
Kindness and Love Cannot Be Relied
Upon Alone to Protect Our Rights"

New Haven. Conn, Dec. "a copy
of the letter prepared by a commit
tee of the Connecticut Society, Sons of
the American Revolution, recently, and
sent to President Wilson on the sub
ject of preparedness, was made pub
lie today. In part the letter says:
The spirit and wisdom of the foun-
oers of our government directed
towards the problems which confront
ed them at the birth of this nation, is
particularly desirable in the present
world crisis. Lives and property have
been expended to maintain our nation
al integrity, but who can doubt the
propriety of the cost.
The recent experience of peaceful
peoples has demonstrated that kind
ness and love cannot be relied upon
alone to protect them in their rights
against the avarice and crime but
that some strong means are required
to insure the enjoyment Of those
rights
I'VE believe that the welfare of
the whole country demands that our
federal authorities and representatives
make suitable preparations at this
time to guard the evils which others
are sure to beset it"
