were the rational and legitimate
result.
Germany even before the war
was the most thoroughly organized
and disciplined industrial nation in
the world-her history since 1870
has been marvel-efficient, self
contained, self-helping, masterful.
She will be even more thoroughly
organized after the war. England
and France have also learned in
the cruel school OF war the lesson
OF unity in industrial lite, learned
how to mobilize and discipline the
capacity and energy OF their peo-
pie. The period following the
Austrian war - the Franco
Prussian war--our own civil war
advised us how quickly a people
transfer the energy aud capacity
for organization from the battle
field to the factory.
cat the present time the war
protects us from competition with
the old countries. The farmer has
not only our home market but in
part the foreign market. Alter the
war he will have to fight for his
home market. The American
manufacturer is in no less advan-
tageous position now. Europe no
longer competes with US as she did
before and as she will under pres
ent laws after the war. We are
feeding, clothing, arming and
financing vast armies without
much competition. 1t is not alto
gether an enviablc job, not one Of
which to boast, but | ann but stat

bined Europe, shall send her men
and her women back to the farm

enter along with Europe the South
American countries and Canada
and Japan--the American laborer,

SPECIAL STUDY MADE
 OF P0VERTY'S CAUSE
Interesting Report Made al Meeting
 of Charity Organ zation.

In the study of the underlying causes of poverty in New Britain, which is being made by the Charity Organization, special attention aas been paid the elimination, as far as possible, of quack medicines, loan sharks, and fortune tellers that have reaped harvests in this city in the past by feecing the ignorant immi- grant population An interesting re- port on the progress of this work was made last night by Miss Elsie c. Os- born, the agent, at the monthly meet ing of the Charity Organization. @
 Special recommendations regarding the treatment of chronic inebriates. wayward girls, and feeble minded per sons are contained in the report.
 The number of office calls gives an idea of the growth of the organiza- tion from time to time. During Jan uary, 1913, there were only 142 office calls in all, and during the month just passed there were 334 calls at the office, 132 from consultants and POP from applicants. The telephone interviews in behalf of families cared for by the society have increased from sixty-nine in January two years ago to 271 during the month just passed.
 The problems of individual families have been tackled 239 times The number of new cases seeking employ ment is sixty-four. The report fol- lows in part:
 Study Causes of Poverty.
 It is our business to deal with these individual families and after finding out promptly what the causes are for their dependence to do away with those causes of trouble if possible so that the family may be self-support- ing and self-relant.
 Ours is deductive reasoning If we find that so many families are suf- fering for such and such a reason, we ask ourselves what can be done about it. Sometimes the reasons are purely individual, but usually there are the larger underlying causes. Recognition of these causes leads us to be thankful that we may take an intreest in affairs, for our articles of incorporation state that the Charity

MANSFIELD OFFERED
 HALF TO BfSS RYAN
Would Share His Wealth if She
 Would Get Out.

Boston, Feb. 11.-Irene Catherine Griffin, professional nurse, testified yesterday at the $50,o0O breach of promise trial of Elizabeth Ryan against Harry K. Mansfield, that she heard the latter order the former out of his stablishment, Ferncroft Inn, at Middletown, in 1913, agreeing to split his fortune fifty fifty" if she would leave. Miss Griffin was attend ing Miss Ryan, who wa, i'll, when she says she heard Mansfield say: "When you are better, get out of here and I'll give you half of what I've got"
 Miss Griffin said she never noticed any misbehaviour on Miss Ryan's part at Ferncroft. She testified to hearing quarrels between Mansfield and Miss Ryan frequently.
 Didn't Miss Day.
 How often did these quarrels be- tween MT. Mansfield and Miss Ryan of which you have spoken take place?"
 There was quarrel every day while I was at Ferncroft"
 Do you remember Miss Ryan say ing anything to you about her auto being sent away?"
 1T wasn't there to talk about autos I was her nurse, MT. Sullivan"
 Didn't she say anything about the auto being sent away?"
 'I think she said something about the car being sent off to have her monogram put on it.'
 What did she say to you?"
 "I don't remember exactly--it was something about a monogram. She was peeved. I told her not to be both ering about autos until she got bet CT"
 You say Miss Ryan was a little an gry?"
 Perhaps she was a little pouty."
 Heard the Word ''Half."
 Sure you heard the word half that MT. Mansfield said he would give half of what he had to Miss Ryan if she would get out?''
 Yes"
 Anything said about autos ?"
 "No."
 Anything besides what you say was said?'
 No, only what I said. Mir. Mans field said: All right, when you get better you get out of here and I'll give you half of what I've got "
 Then you talked with Miss Ryan about it?'
 'Yes, immediately"
 Miss Griffin stated the talk was about the time Miss Ryan went to bed, between 8 and D. m
 No Pajama Parties
 Miss Rachel Hall testified under cross examination that she worked for Artist Knoedlcr of New York in his apartm ent of seven rooms and bath. She said that she did all the cooking for seven years. MT. knoedler also employed a man servant named Flood after she had washed the dishes and performed other household duties she still was responsible and had to go around and see how things were.
 well, when you were in that bed chamber (referring to her room, which she said was one of the seven constituting the apartment) the guests could put on pajamas and you would not know anything about it 2" she was asked.
 NO"
 Miss Hall admitted that there was drinking in the apartment, that casino was play ed, and that the ladies smoked at one dinner party, but that nobody became intoxicated. The gentlemen, she said, showed no affection toward the ladies, or vice versa AS for the holding of hands, she had

WayWard Girls g Problem.

WayVard Girls 8 Problem.
 Again, under present conditions we have no state institution to care for Wayward girls over sixteen years. The Middletown School for Girls receives them up to that age and between six teen and twenty-one years the courts must commit to limited Irivate in stitutions-the House of the Good Shepherd or the Florence Cittenden Home; for girls over twenty y-one only the jail remains
 At this session the commission ap- pointed to study the situation, headed by our good friend, Professor Vim, Bailey of New Haven, is asking for @ modest appropriation of S10,000 with which to buy tract of land and erect a few unpretentious Buildings on the cottage plan, possibly using prison labor to grade and prepare the grounds To this institution all girls between sixteen to Thirty years of age could be commit itted on indeter- minate sentences, with possible parole to learn household arts, and to do ~wh olesome work. much o. it out of doors. Most of offender in this class return to jail again and again, but un- der new plan withindete,minate sen tences, each girls own conduct would define the length of her story and her dismissal would indicate moral inn provement. We are anxious to see this plan put in effect, knowing that Connecticut will profit by it as other states like Pennsylvania have already proflted.
 Care of Predetermined.
 Another question which demands serious thought in our state is that of the care and segregation of the feebleminded. Special stress is laid on the present deplorable lack of ac- ccmmodations in Connecticut's in- stitution for the feebleminded at Lake vile. Tt was estimated last spring tfat Hartford, Bridgeport or New Haven alone could furnish the 300 candidates sufficient to fill the school.
 Feeblemindedness is the outward visible sign of degeneracy of race, and acts both as cause and conse- quence of all the social ills of immor- ality. intemperance, pauperism and so on that the Charity Organization so- ciety comb bats With so large field it is
 
 beginning and all authorities on the subject are agreed that first of all we must give attention to feebleminded women of child bearing age as a mu- tual protection to society at large and to women themselves. A mentally de- f1cient girl living unprotected is a menace to society.
 Your agent has been making special study of this problem during the past six months and has been asked by the Lakevi1le trustees to appear at the capitol hearings in favor of the bill to provide an adequate appropriation for the work in this state, involving a possible change of lC cation and the erection of ineNpen- sive buildings on the cottage plan, enlarged accommodations and stricter segregation.
 These a few of the many differ ent channels of interest that charity -pI ganiza tions reach into.
 So it is that having the basic facts "through our dealings with the in dividuals we pass from recognition of the individual needs to the collective needs of the community, then on to state needs until at last we face the very problems of the nation.
