THE ROYAL ADMIRAL.

Although Germany has been at war for more than a year. Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia the only brother of the Kaiser, has had, little opportunity to win fame and glory. It has been rumored that the Adnira1 Royal, wh o will pass hs ffty-third birthday to- morrow. has not been in accord with von Trpitz and other German navI officers, and it was asserted a few months ago that, a consequence of his opposition, the Prince had lowered his flag and retired from active par ticipation in naval affairs Rurnor has it that the Sailor Prince objected to the naval raids on unfortihed Brit ish towns, and that he was also out of sympathy with certain phases of the submarine policy of von Tirpitz It is certain that the German press has generally ignored the Emperor's s brother and that he has not come in for the share of the praise and aduI- ation heaped upon other Hohenzol- lerns. Prince Henry married a grand daughter of Queen Victoria, Princess Irene Marie of Hesse, and before the war he had a great fondness for Eng Hand and spent no small part of his

FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH
 STILL A DAY OF ILL OMEN

While the vast majority of civilized. humans are going about their business today without giving a thought to the fact that this date brings into sup posed1y evil juxtap position the "naign inf1uences'' of Friday and the thir- teenth. there are still left in the world not few superstitious folks to whom this is a, day of fear and trembling, and who will heave a great sigh of re- lief when the stroke of midnight puts a quietus to the 'tjinx'' which is sup posed to preside over the day Silly and stupid such 8 belief is, yet many otherwise sane and inte1lige persons continue to entertain the no-
 ion that Friday the thirteenth" is day of i'll omen. They may offer as proof of the malevolence of this date the fact that many dire happenings have Occurred on Friday the thir- teenth, overlooking the obvious fact that exactly the same sort of evidence evil srepute of any other combination of day of week and month,
 For these credulous ones there is the consolation that the thirteenth will not again fall on a Friday for more than a year-not until October 13, 1916. Today provides the only Friday the thirteenth of this year, and there will be only one such date in 1916. Last year was extraordinarily malevo1ent in this record, since there were three such days in the 1914 cal, endar.
 Many. explanations have been Of fered of>the Friday and the s'thir- teen'' superstitfons Both foI1ies do not seem to be confined to Christian lands. and their origin goes back be- yond the dawn of human history. The character of Friga, the Scandinavian Venus who was the spouse of Thor, and after whom Friday was named, may account for a portion of the supp posed malevolence of Friday Among the BrahInins of India and other peo- pies however, like aversion to Friday is prevalent.
 In former times the belief in un- lucky and evil days was much more prevalent than now, and Friday the thirteenth shared it's dubious honors- with many other dates. The calendars of several centuries ago usually com tained dozens of supposedly unlucky days, when people were warned to ex- ercise extra ordinary care of life and limb and to refrain from enbarking on imp ventures. The belief in these fables and old wives tales is happily dying out. The Druids of Britain, the barbarians of the Teuton forests, the Vikings of Scandinavia, the pagans of Rome and the priests and prophets of Egypt and Asia all contributed their share of. signs and -omens and superstitious twaddIe to aff1iet the minds of men
 The power and persistence of the Friday and thirteen superstittotis com constitute an anomaly difficult to ex- plain in the light of our present state of enlightenment. Even some of those who openly scoff at such notions have senaking regard for them.
 Only few days ago a hard headed and, successful business man was ask ed to make an appointments for today to conclude an important deal.

Avhen war should be declared againstl Britain, aroused the indignation of Prince Henry, who hotIy asserted that it was a life. Prince Henry visited the United States in 1902, and was most cordially received, and last year, only a few months be- fore the war, he went to South Amer ica. Prince Henry has always been considered an able naval officer, and he was in supreme charge of the Kaiser,s sea forces during the period when itI was being transformed into a navy of dreadnoughts.

EXECUTIONS.

The first private execution of the death penalty in England took place AT years ago today, when. Thomas Wells was hanged for the murder ofsa railway station agent. The last pulp lie execution took place a few months before, when Michael Barrett, a Fen ian, was put to death for complicity in an explosion plot. Up to the Wells execution, the exaction of the death penalty in England. as in most other
 countries, was considered public affair, calculated to impress other maIefactors with the majesty of the law Many people predicted that pri- yate executions would result in an in- crease of capital chimes, but the re- verse was true, and among nearly all enli ghtened peoples It is now recog- nized that public executions have a brutalizing rather than a warning lef- fest upon the spectators.

DIR. ADLER PREDICTS WORLD WAR BETWEEN
 EAST AND WEST

That the present conflict in Europe is the prelude to a world war, ip- volvingz all civilization and biting the Occident against the Orient" is the gloomy view of pr. Felix Adler, 1ec- turer of the New York Society for Ethical Culture and the leader of the ethical culture movement in Amer icah pr. Adler is a native, of Ger many, and the son of a rabbi. He was born GA years ago today. He graduated from Columbia University in 70. and then returned to. Germany to continue his education in Berlin and Heidelberg., He was professor of Hebrew and Oriental literature at Cornell for: a Fyear&sor two before he initiated the ethical culture society in 1876.
 There is more to this war than Germany and the Allies,'' pr. Adler told his audience not long. ago. There is heard the first muttering of the h oly war; Asia and Africa against Europe and America. The present war. is but a prelude to a greater con- hict involving all civilization. The, time is coming when the United States will have to decide which srde Fit will take-to exploit the East force emperialism upon it.'' In re- gard to the causes of this war; Dr., Adler said:
 '1Nati onalism is the deeper cause, not the arrogance of a military, caste. Nati onalism isateday a rising tide. .sIt ernerges in Pan-Gernna nisra, ,s-in Pan. S1eevism; in the aspirations of Serbia and of the other Balkan states, as pre- Vious1y manifested in the unifcation of Germany and Italy. Nationalism is the explosive force which has broken Into the dreams of cosmopolitan brotherhoo Nationalism iss a for midab1e menace, but within limits it is justified. It needs to be purified; it cannot be ignored or ob1iterated. The overprizing by each pationality of it's own type of civilization is the root of the difficulty. And yet it ought not to be impossible by enlightentnent to overcome this difficulty, to create re- spect for types unlike our own, not only because they have the same right to exist as ours. not only because the variety and richness of human nature is thus promoted, but because the civ i4ization of each naton is so defective that it needs to be supplemented and refreshed by cross breeding with the genius and the type of other human groups

TO HOLD SPECIAL
 ELECTIONS IN IS
 CITIES AND TOWNS
Will Submit Constitutional Mileage Amendment to
 Voters of State.

At least IS cities and towns in Con necticut will hold special elections Oc- tober 4, at which no one will be elected to any office, but the question of pro viding for the transportation expenses .of members of the General Assembly by a proposed amendment to the state constitution will be decided As the state and the towns will be put to the same expense for settling this one question when a number Of iTnpor- tant officials are elected, it appears that the money to be spent on the eIec- ton would, if appropriated for the purpose outright, pay a large part of the mileage desired by the representa- lives for at least 8 part of one session. 2 The constitution at present provides that the compensation of members of the General Assembly shall not ex- ceed, $500 for the term for which they are elected, and one mileage each way for the regular session at the rate of t25 cents per mi1e.' The proposed amendment adds and in addition to such condensation, the General As senbly may provide by law for the transpor tation of each member by public conveyance by the most con venient route between his home sta-. ton and the place of meeting during the session or sessions of the General Assembly to which he was elected.''
 The bill submitting this question to popular vote requires that the cleo ton be held on the fir t Monday in October, throughout the state, rather than at the next election day in each town.
 In many of the towns regular elec- 'tions will be held at which the amend ment will be an incidental feature but IS or 20 towns, including nearly all the cities in the state except Waterbury and Meriden, will have no other excite paent to offer it's voters. The vote cast in these places will probably be not more than 20 or 25 per cent of the vote usually cast at elections in which someone is really elected.
