AT DAVIS THEATRE.
Nobody Home.

John F. Slocum's company in No- body Home played before a full house at the Davis theater on Thursday ev- ening which found in the sprightly lines of the play numerous places to agree with the dedication that it was writ ten for those who know that mirth is medicine and that laughter lengthens life. While hardly comparing for catchiness and tunefulness with some other musical comedies that have been heard here, the audience showed considerable approval of the solos and choruses, more especially in the lat ter one of the two acts. The cos tuning was bright and new and the stage pictures were all pretty and effective.
 Percival Knight as Freddy Pop- pie. the Englishman with a sugges- ton of nobody home" about him was very good and scored hit in his song Bed, Wonderful Bed. Zoe Barnett, the prima donna at the winter Gar den and leading lady in the play was well cast and introduced the big song number, The Magic Melody, with chorus, in a voice that was well liked. Mable Withlee and Roydon Keith, who were the lovers, did some pretty danc- ing and MT. Keith showed voice that was expressive and well handled.
 Rose and Arthur Boylan, who were the dancing specialists, won good ap- pIause at every one of their graceful numbers and shared the chief honors of the evening in the line of applause. Della Nevin and Lew ChrisSy did some capable work in their parts respective ly as the wife and her artful husband who needed an eye kept on him, and the minor part of the cast were ac- ceptably filled.

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
 LECTURES TO LONDON MOTHERS
Tells Them the Time Has Not Arrived
 to Think of Peace.

London, Dec. 3. PAS a. m.-A war lecture by George Bernard Sahw be- fore a mothers meeting organized by London suffragettoJ yesterday dealt mainly with the recent peace talk.
 The whole British nation is de- termined not to have peace now" said Mir. Shaw, for that would mean a triumph for German prestige You may as well put peace entirely out of your heads, for summer skies may come more than once before we see peace again in Europe.
 Even if the German emperor should retire behind his own frontiers and announce that, having shown what the German nation and army could do he was ready to leave mat ters to arbitration, we could not ac- cept the situation, but would be bound to fight our way to Berlin to show that we could beat them.
 Tn fighting the German army we are not fighting a wonderful, infalli- ble organization, but we are fighting a romantic dream from which it is absolutely necessary that the German peoples should be awakened. We must make up our minds that the war is going on until that dream is de- stroyed. There is no general desire here for peace"

SUPPLEMENTAL CREDITS TO PAY SHELL ORDERS IN CANADA To Make Loans to Great Britain in
 Form of Munitions Payments.

Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 2-Canadian bankers at a meeting today with Fin ance Minister White agreed to CO., operate in a plan to establish supple mental credits to help pay shell ord CTS placed in Canada. Since the be- ginning of the war Britain has paid Canada in cessh for munitions and has loaned the Dominion S15O, ,oO0, 900 for war operations. Hereafter until the end of the war, the process will be reversed and Canada will make loans to Britain in the form of muni- tion payments.
 It is estimated that by the end of 1916 Canada will have spent S400 ,000 = 900 on war expenses and will have manufactured for Great Britain muni- tions to the value of $500, ,000, ,O0O
 While the resources of the Domin- ion would not enable the country to pay the entire s1,0OO. 900, ,00O expendi- lures, it is believed that the arrange ments which will be made by the Ca nadian government and banks will en- able a very large proportion of the expense to be absorbed within the country.
 Details of the credit system for Britain which is being established in Canada will be made public within a few days.

CORONER ADVISES WARNING
 SIGN FOR BRIDGE. Where J. w. Kelly, Formerly of This City, Was Killed in GiIdersleeve.

Coroner stephen B. Davis of Mid- dletown who has rendered a finding in the case of John w. Kelly. former ly of this city. but lately living in Hartford. who was killed when his au- tomobile upset at the Siam dock bridge in Gildersleeve on Sunday, Nov. IA. The following is the finding:
 'T find that the deceased, with friend, left Hartford at 10 o'clock Sunday morning, Nov. 14, 1915, for the purpose of making tests of the auto in which they were riding. They went through several towns and about 2 o'clock D. m-, came to Middletown and crossed the river to Portland on their way to Hartford.
 '@They were noticed by several per- sons when passing Gildersleeve, a short distance from the place of the accident and their testimony is to the effect that the machine then was run ming at about 20 miles an hour.
 ''The approach to the bridge, called Cox's bridge, the place of the accident, while not very dangerous, is a some what difficult one, the bridge being badly placed, and at this point is not ,n line with the general direction ot the highway, but is more at right an- gles with the stream which is spanning and at an angle with the direction W the road. The road swerves to the left, going towards Hartford, and then back to the right after the bridge is crossed.
 l ''The bridge can be seen for 500 feet away, which would seem to be a suf- ficient distance to put the driver of an auto on his guard.
 But in this case, although the driver, the deceased, was an expert in driving an auto, and a perfectly tenn perate man, the machine must have been going at very high rate of speed
 as it came to the bridge and the 1 driver. must have lost control of it, for the side of the bridge was struck with sufficient force to throw two stones forming the right side of the i bridge off and into the stream below, | each one being about eight feet long and weighing about $500 pounds | apiece. The machine was wrecked,
 and the driver, the said John w. Kel- | ley, was killed. While the bridge can
 be seen a long distance away, there
 are no warning signs placed on the
 road. There should be some as a
 matter Nof safety for the future. I do ! not find that any person or persons
 should be held to answer for his l death"
