WILSON'S MESSAGE PLEASES AMERICAS
Chilean Paper Says It Con. firms Union Based on
 Community of Interests

Valparaiso, Chile, Dec. 10.-The newspaper Mercurio, in an editorial on President Wilson's recent message to congress, says:
 When ex-President Roosevelt de- ciared in Santiago in 1913 that the Monroe Doctrine had ceased to be unilateral and was a converted doc- Urine by the United States and the American nations, it was considered an ideality. Later, in 1915, the Chilean president adopted the doc Urine in 8 m essage to congress- and President Wilson in his recent mes sage confirms such a doctrine to be sustained by all the American nations
 As far as can be remem bered l., never before had Presidents of the United States expressed such ideals re- sarding the policy of the United States toward the other American nations, and thus the South American republics, which considered that they had reached an advanced state of de- velopment and experience and con sidered that they had a right to the respect of all nations, did not sym pathize with certain attitudes of the eldest sister. which were considered to diminish their prestige.
 It IS Just TeCOgHlZeu IndI IHe policy of the United States has taken a new turn for the best, during the last few years, towards the American nations, and has tried to attract them, inspiring them with confidence, with repeated declarations of deference and recognition of equality of rights, thus helping towards a union based on the community of interests. Presi- dent Wilson's recent message is a rlain confirmation of this new ideal, which meets with Americas sym Dathy"

FOR ALn NIGHT SERVICE.
Postmaster Delaney Trying to Effec!
 Much Desired Service.

Postmaster William F. Delaney is acting in conjunction with postmas- ters in cities in Western Connecticut in an effort to secure an all night ser vice. Some time ago the railroad company changed it's plans whereby a night train that formally ran over the Shore Line now passes through this city. If the new plan is success- fully carried out by the post office officials in Washington, it will mean that this city will get a mail at about 1 o'clock from east bound trains and one at 3:30 o'clock from west bound trains.
 The adoption of this policy will mean considerable changes in the working force at the local office, but the postmaster has made tentative plans to be in readiness.

PISTOL DUEL TAKES
 PLACE IN STAMFORD
Three "Yeggmen" and Officers Exchange Shots Early Today
POST OFFICE IS LOOTED
Robbers secure $500 in Stamps and Small Amount of Change-Jump on Freight Train and Escape-No One Hurt

Hurt.
 Stratford, Dec. 11.-Under cover of darkness early today three ''yeggmen'' who probably are professional safe breakers had pistol duel with three officers here, after an attempt to wreck the safe in the Stratford post cffice. In an exchange of shots no one was hurt, some plate glass in store windows in the center was broken and the men themselves prob ably caught a freight train and so escaped.
 The postmaster finds that his loss is limited to about $500 in stamps and 9 small amount of change left in counter drawers outside the big safe.
 Mail Matter Uttered.
 The explosion in the office through which the outer door of the safe was shattered, filtered up the place with mail matter which required several hours attention before it was restored to an orderly manner.
 The "Yeggmen' evidently had care fully planned the job but the ringing of a burglar alarm in the office upset
 
 plosive, probably nitro glycerine and had hung water-soaked blankets around the safe to deaden the noise The first explosion took off the safe door but the tremendous jar started the alarm.
 Officers Open Fire.
 In few minutes Allan Judson chief of the fire department, was out or his house on the run for Stratford Square and he was joined by state policeman Rowe Wheeler and Con- stable Palmer. AS they were making quick time for the post office a wom' an called out from a window thai she had seen men at the post office The officers got a glimpse of the burglars in the office and opened fir, with their revolvers, the shots being returned. There was a running figh in the darkness lighted up by tho flare from the guns. The crash O glass was heard as shots from the burglars hit store windows on the street near the post office. The burg. lars retreated to the railroad tracks west of the post office, and jumped on a freight train which was pullin 2 through the yard. It is thought the men had planned the job so as to catch this freight State Officer Wheeler and Constable Palmer got an automobile and drove towards New Haven catching up with the freight at Milford. They could find no trace of the "yegmen' on the train. They circled around through Derby and back to Stratford with the machine without seeing any one.
 Twenty-Five Shots. Fired.
 While the pistol duel was going on outside the post office, citizens in that neighborhood came down on the run to the square. It was thought no less than twenty-five shots were fired in all. Several of the men who were armed stood guard over the post office until the postmaster and his clerks could go through the mail matter and ascertain the loss. It was evident that the burglars had plan ned to force the inner door of the safe but did not have time to prepare the charge.
 No description of the men was pos sible owing to the darkness.

BRITISH JOINING RANKS
Unprecedented Rush Today At Re cruiting Stations-Staffs Unable To Handle Crowds.

Crult1nS Stat1OnSe-StaHS OndDlc TO
 Handle Crowds.
 London, Dec. Il, 11:33 a. m.- There was an unprecedented rush this morning at the recruiting stations. Physicians and clerks, nearly ex- hausted by the work of the last three days were confronted on arrival at their posts this morning with long lines of men-in many cases several hundred-waiting for the opening of the doors.
 To handle the crowds the staffs at the recruiting stations have been in- creased. Enrolment under the Earl of Derby's plan ends at midnight.
 The crowds became so great that it was manifestly a physical impossibil- ity to examine all the applicants be- fore midnight. The authorities, therefore, decided to permit attesta- tion under the Derby plan until mid night of Sunday.

FRESH PROCEEDINGS
 AGAINST LIEBKNECHT
German Military Authorities Again Take Action Against Socialist
 Member of the Reichstag.

Karl Liebknecht socialist member of the Reichstag, according to the Humanite's correspondent on the Swiss frontier. His prosecution, how ever, requires the sanction of the Reichstag.
 News despatches last March re- ported that pr. Liebknecht because of certain political utterances, had been ordered to place himself at the dis nosal of the German military authori- ties and that thereafter he must con- slider himself under military law. He was not to write articles nor was he to be permitted to attend public poli- tlcal meetings, excepting the Reich stag and the landtag. Later it was announced that the constitutional rights of members of the Reichstag could not thus be abridged and that the government had ordered a discon- tinuance of the military action. In October it was reported that the mili- tary officials had forbidden the fol- l, wers of Dr. Liebknecht to issue pamphlets or to speak at meetings Tn Essen and several other towns. The prohibition would be rescinded, 1t was said. if the group apologized for a. communication stating that Dr. Lieb- Enecht's adherents were no longer in accord with the regular socialist party's declaration by which they agreed to work with the government throughout the war. Recently news despatches said that the socialist members of the Reichstag had repu- disted by resolution the attitude or Dr. Liebknecht whose questions in the Reichstag regarding peace have been the subject of much discussion.

IRISH AGAINST CONSUMPTION
Coercion Would Cause Revolution,
Says Visitor From London-"Peo-
pie Will Never Submit"

Conscrlption as coercive measure by
the British Government will cause rev.
olution in Ireland. in the opinion OF
Adolph Braff, of London, who is in this
city on business.
"The Irish people will never submit
TO conscription." said Mr.. Braff. "If the
volunteer system is continued, they will
enlist in about the numbers they are
doing now. But the English Will never
be able TO force them to do military serv-
ice They would sooner revolt, and then
England would have a fair-sized little
argument to settle at home as we'll as
abroad.
81 saw in the newspapers the other day
that Lord Derby's plan had resulted I'm
5000, 900 or 1900, 900 men enlisting. 1t seems
that the problem has been solved and
conscription will not have to be resorted
to. 1t Is great triumph for the British
Government, for I believe IL conscription
had been adopted a revolt would have
spread through Ireland like fire in few
days"
Mr.. Brafr is stopping at the Bellevue
Stratford. He has relatives in Russia, OF
whom he has not heard since the war
started. almost year and half ago.
He has not seen his brother, DIR. Ernest
Brafr, or his two cousins. all with the
Russian army, since June. 1914 Mr.. Brafr
said that his case was similar to that or
many others who have relatives in the
warning countries who do not expect TO
hear from them until the strife is over

IMPULSE, NOT EUGENICS,
MUST LEAD TO ALTAR,
SAYS PSYCHOLOGIST
Marriages Not Made for Pur-
pose of Breeding Physically
Perfect Animal Race of
Human Beings
INCLINATION TRUE TEXT

After all the eugenists have spun their
theories follow your own inclinatlons and
marry the one of your choice
This. in a nutshell, is the theory of Dr.
Samuel C. Kohs, psychologist, author and
mender of human derelicts
THE compelling desire for mate, the
longing that will not be satisfied until a
certain girl or u certain boy is won,"
Doctor kohs says "Is the best known
test for matrimony so far as the race Is
concerned. Conscious reasoning may point
out the faults of the young woman to the
man, or the other way around; friends
may show each wherein the other is tenn
peramentally untitled to serve as a mate,
but in the long run the nonreasoning de-
sire that drives you to want Just one per-
son has a sound foundation
The workshop OF Doctor Kohs is the
Chicago House of Correction. There he
Is applying his talents to mendng the
slightly damaged mental engines of young
prisoners.
81 confess that the idea of mating hui
man beings with the purpose of breeding
for points does not impress me favor
ably" he continued. I'VE know some
thing of the results that may be achieved
with horses and other animals, of the
physical points that we know are trans
mitted; but in dealing with human be-
ings and the mating problem we have
more than bodies and physical points to
consider The physical and psychic-the
mental and moral-are so interviewer that
we must consider all the factors that go
10 make up a human being as distin-
guished from an animal before we are
ready to say that this and that will re-
suit from any marriage.
THE lives Of men and women are not
worked out by conscious reasoning. We
do and say things-we shape our lives
on impulses. We are using the greater
and. ! might be bold enough to say. the
better part of our minds when we act on
those impulses. Those impulses are the
co-ordinated experiences of ourselves and
perhaps of our race. Whatever we. as a
race or as individuals, have learned
makes its Impressions on our nerves and
BRAIN And the result is reflex actions
that tend to profit by those experiences"
