JAPAN AND CHINA.

It would not be surprising If the
war spirit extended from the Euro
pean to the Asiatic countries and that
China and Japan would engage in an
other conflict. Japan Is asking too
much from China and the latter can
not very Well accede to the demands
without sacrificing it's commercial and
financial interests, and if it does &C
cede to them it will be because of the
fear of a war and evident defeat
with all that such a condition en-
tails. Japan Is seeking to control
the right to build some of China's
railroads, to control its governmental
and military affairs, to pre-
vent it from ever disposlng
of any of it's territory and to
compel it to purchase one-half of its
munitions of war from Japan. 1t can
be seen that the demands are unusual,
very greedy and likely to meet with
as much opposition from China as it
can muster.
China has about six times as large
a population as Japan. but it has until
recent years lacked in progress and
for that reason it has been weak In
war and commercial enterprise, while
Japan has been just the opposite.
The latters defeat Of Russia sur
prised the civilized world and that
has undoubtedly had a tendency to
make it feel that it is a country to
be reckoned with. There are those
who have for years been predicting
war between this country and Japan,
but that was due more to a suspicion
than to any we'll grounded reasons.
China has been making wonderful
Pre- gress of late years in all branches
of industry, but it is hardly able as
yet to engage successfully in war
with such a country as Japan, though
it's strength is constantly increasing.
Japan knows this as we'll as realizing
the conditions resulting from the pres
ent European war, and is evidently
taking advantage of the situation so
as to profit in advance of what might
only be gained by armed conflict. It
is not expected that Japan will have
the sympathy of any other country in
a war which it Is seeking to precipi-
tate for the sole purpose of greed.

WHAT CAUSED COF,FEY TO FIGHT.

Prizefghters appear to have the
same sense of feeling as to pride as
they see it as do others. The prize
fighter makes fighting his business
just the same as another works at his
trade and ne seldom will engage in, it
unless paid for it. But he does
not want to be insulted or made
little of, for as Jack McAuliffe once
said, he will fight anywhere if neces-
sary. The New York newspapers car
ried story today which serves to ex-
plain how Jim Coffey came to give
Al. Reich such a decisive beating in
Madison Square Garden on Wednes-
day evening. Reich has been rather
inclined to be a bit uppish apd when
Coffey extended his hand to him at
a ball last winter and at the same
time asked how he was, Reich tdelib-
erately turned away and refused to
recognize him. Coffey became very in
dignant and only consented to fight
Reich this week because of the OPP
pcrtunity it@would give him to wipe
out the insult
Coffey's eyes flashed when he faced
Reich in the ring this week and
though he narrowly escaped a beating
himself, he was absolutely cruel in his
punishment Of Reich, the latter ad-
hitting when it was all over that cof-
fey paralyzed him from the waist
down with a punch in the stomach.
There has always been bad blood be-
tween Sullivan and Corbett and be-
tween the latter and Fitzsimmons.
Before their meeting in Carson City
they had an alteration in New York

bered that when they. afterwards met

custom in all ring battles. Sullivan

TURKS COMMANDED REBELS
Who Attacked Italian Force i'm Tripoli
. -Italy to Demand Explanation.

Paris, May z, $50 a. m.--Reports
are current here that an official re-
port to the ministry of war regarding
the attack on Col. Miami's Italian
force in Tripoli contains proofs that
Turkish officers commanded the rebels
says a Petit Parisien despatch from
Turin, and that the Italian govern

New Britain herald., 1915-05-07

Col Miami's command was at
tackled by a rebel band south of Syr-
taon, April 80 and forced to retreat,
owing to the desertion of irregulars
to the rebels. The Italian losses were
eighteen officers and 200 men killed

The efforts of the committee of the
Civic Federation whose work Is the
determination of flies and mosquitoes
should have more than the listless
notice of the people of New Haven.
For effort of this sort no longer stands
on theoretical basis. When we have
before us the example of such a city
as Cleveland, four times our size, in
one season made literally a f1yless city,
we have something definite on which
to work. The accomplishment is
much less a matter of money than
one of intelligent public earnestness.-
New Haven Register.
One of the arguments advanced by
those who oppose the increase of the
liquor license fee is that it will lead
in many of the towns and cities where
the $3.50 fee will put the smallest
saloons out of business. This is fall,
lacious reasoning. 1t is doubtful If
the argument has any merit. It is
true that in many towns which have
voted no license there have been
speak easies' and blind tigers" but
the situation will be different under
high license. The saloonkeeperS who
put up $3.50 of their good money for
the privilege of doing business will be
the strongest assistants of the police
in putting "blind tigers and "speak
easies'' out of business.-Hartford
Post.
The noises Of the city constitute in
this country one of the greatest draw
backs and dangers of urban life, At
a gathering in Philadelphia a few
years ago, at which were present
women from city tenemencs. the uni
form testimony of all was that the
greatest evil in their lives was not
liquor, nor unsuitable dwellings, nor
any other of the commonly accredited
burdens of poverty, but simply noise.
They were worn out with noise and
their lives were shortened and made
miserable by that one all-pervading
enemy of rest There was no such
thing, they said, as sleep before mid
night, and the city noises began again
at 5 o'clock in the morning, SO that
the long rest, through early and con-
tinued sleep, which they needed, was
denied them.-Bridgeport Standard.
Four lads who work six days in the
week played with ball Sunday to get
fresh air recreation and were arrested.
Had they been able to afford men,
bership in the Country club, the Lawn
club, or certain tennis clubs they
might have played to their hearts
content, unmolested. Had they been
salboats they might have spent the
day on the water without interference.
Had they owned autom obiles or mo-
torcycles they might have toured the
city and state from dawn co midnight
Sunday. Had they belonged to the
exclusive downtown clubs they could
have played pool and billiards all day.
Had they the cash to hire steeds they
might have enjoyed horseback riding
as many "highly respected" citizens
frequently do. But being ordinary
lads without fat wallets they tossed a
baseball and were arrested, pleaded
guilty in court Monday, ana now have
a record. New Haven Union.

Iof her daughter, Miss Hazel Howard

many of the friends of the talented

of the announcement wasya complete
surprise as 1t came at the regular
meeting of a Literary club TO which
Miss Howard belongs and II was while
