and spoils of war.
A program was adopted for the
purpose of enlisting all American wo=

the .sacredness of human life and to
abolish war. To this end it is urged:

ton of neutral nations in the interest
of early peace.

in this country.
Education of youth in the ideals of
Democratic control of foreign
policies.
The further humanizing of govern
ments by the extension of the fran |
chise to women.

lion of the world to substitute law for

 COnStableS.

Darien, Aug. 2S.-Severa Fulco, stiletto and three sticks of dynamite and illuminating caps, ran wild here late yesterday after Lucia Matterasia, aged seventeen, who had never seen him before, declined to marry him and treated the marrying proposition as a joke Fulco shot three times at Constable Mather, who was approach ing him and attempted to shoot at Constable Green but there were only empty shells in the weapon. The constables bound Fulco hand and foot with ropes and put him in the lookup where he remains today awaiting a hearing as to his mental condition.
 Fulco says he belongs in Stamford. He appeared at the home of Mrs. Mary Rocco here yesterday and asked Lucia Matterasia who lived thought the offer was a joke and so told Fulco, who did not like the re- ply and began to act strangely. Miss Matterasia ran and FulcO sent a couple of bullets in her direction. Word was sent to cOnstables and late in the day they found Fulco near Mrs. Rocco's house.
 After they had secured Fulco they found the dynamite and stiletto in clothing. There were double dents on the shells in chambers used by Fulco when he aimed the revolver at Constable Green. The other constable escaped through Fulco's bad aim.
