SALE OF 1,TIEI BARNUM ESTAT,E.

SALE OF THE BARNUM ESTATE.
 Tn the Supreme Court Chamber in Brooklyn. yesterday, Judge Beekman ordered the recent sale of property owned by the. P. T. SBarnum heirs at Port Jefferson set aside.
 This sale took place about two monthsLago and shortly thereafter there were murmurs of discomfort from would-be purchasers who a11eg- The sale was by order of ex-Judge Van Hoesen, as referee. and it seems that at the sale the auctioneer was in btructed to sell the first three parcels to pers9ns who had already bergain- ed for them at private sale, and he did so, notwithstanding the fact that there were higher bids for the three pieces of property. The motion to have the sale set aside was made by Helen B. Rennell, a granddaughter of the late P. T. Barnum.
 Benjamin Fish and MT. Rennen, the latter one of the heirs of the es- tate,- were seen this morning in re- gard to the courts order, but had not heard of the decision until informed by a Farmer reporter. A new sale of the property, MT. Fish said, would benefit the estate considerably, for when the suit was brought the plain tiff had to put up a bond that the property would bring $10,0O0 in case the sale was set aside and a new one ordered.
 The property was sold for S8,7oO MT. Fish and MT. RenneI seemed much pleased over the decision of the court. The latter went to New York today to see if the decision had been rendered.

disarmament. After the war is over,
who is going to make Great Britain
turn all her battleships and cruisers
into merchantmen and into fish boats
The British would be fools to do
such. Nobody has ever accused them
of being fools. The very life of
Great Britain depends upon her navy.
As long as Great Britain has such
preponderance of naval armament,
her rivals will try to have large stand
ing armies and will sooner or later
attempt to outstrip her even in nav
al supremacy.
There has been a great deal of
talk about hyphenated Americans,
meaning COMMUNICATIONS. If any
of us had been naturalized as British
subjects and the United States was at
war, say with Japan, there would not
be a man who would not be naturally
in sympathy with the success of the
United States. Consequently every
German-American is naturally in
sympathy with Germany. In the
event of war between the United
States and any other nation, all of
our citizens would to man, support
the flag. Some one has asked why
hyphen was placed between bird
cage, the answer being for the bird
to sit on.
The Germans are certainly one OF
the most wonderful people in the
world. Out of a country naturally
poor, they have made one of the most
! fertile in the world. They are among
the first in commerce, agriculture,
mining, manufactures, music, art,
poetry, science and literature and in
war If it were not for Great Bri-
tain, they would ere this, have had
corporal guards in every village in
France. They would have eaten up
I the Russians alive. In my judgement
however, the odds are too much
against them. Great Britain fought
Napoleon for about 20 years, never
ceasing, finally eliminating him. Rus
STA is great country. The Russians
are a greater people than they have
been given credit for. The French
have redeemed themselves from the
Franco-Prussian War of the 70's. The
British are a most wonderful people,
having for centuries dominated the
world from that little bunch of
islands.
There will be no peace until one or
the other parties to the contest is
eaten up alive, or has its fangs pull
ed out, only to grow back again.
There is now not so much efficacy in
"peace talk" as there is in "baby
talk" by a feminine gender to a par
rot

Ex-GovERNoR's OPINION
Mr.. Gilchrist Gives his Views Re-
garding Germany and Mexico

Editor Star: Sometime ago, Pres
ident Wilson was reported to have
stated that he would like to secure
the consensus of opinion of the Amer
lean people concerning certain mat
tiers relating to the war. Little drops
of water make the mighty ocean. l
am going to drop drop into this
mighty ocean.
When the present international
rules of war were agreed upon there
was no such thing as a submarine.
According to such rules, before boat
could be sunk in anger, the crew and
passengers were to be taken off and
conveyed to safety. In this war
Great Britain and her allies have the
absolute control of the seas, so far
as numerical superiority, battleships
and cruisers can give it. According to
the international rules of war neu-
trail nations could ship foodstuffs to
other neutral nations. If any of our
citizens were now to ship foodstuffs
say to Holland or to Sweden, Great
Britain would violate international
rules of war by Selling the cargo. She
would afterwards make amends for it
by paying for it. This would be in
contravention of the rights of Ameri-
can citizens. Germany has declared
submarine war zone around Great
Britain. Owing to the very nature of
submarine, it is impossible for a
submarine to take the crew and pas
sengers off a merchantmen before
sinking the same. If a British mer-
chant carried several tons of ammu-
milton with which to shoot the Ger
mans, and were to get two or three
American citizens to ride on the boat,
it would be almost an act of war for
"a German submarine to sink that
boat, because by so doing these Amer
lean citizens would be liable to lose
their lives.
Germany is now fighting for her
life. The development of the sub
marine has changed in itself the in
ter-national rules of warfare. If il
were not for the possession of He'll
goland by the Germans, it would be
absolutely impossible for the Germans
to establish a submarine warfare
Great Britain took this island from
the Danes in 1907 and snapped it to
the Germans in 1890 for lot of ter
ritory in Africa. The Germans have
transferred the Gibralter of the Medi-
terreanean TO this island. At the
time Great Britain snapped this to
Germany, the building of the German
canal was not thought of, by Great
4 Britain, or there would have been nc
swap.
There is some talk about peace
There will be no peace until one OF
the other parties to the contest is eat
en- up alive. There is some talk OF
