LOCAL MARKET FIRM
 STOCKS INACTIVE
Few Sales of Manufacturing ShaeS;
 Colts Arms Off.
Furnished by Richter & Col

During the past week in the local market New Britain manufacturing stocks have held firm, but without a great deal of activity. American Hardware has the wide quotation of 113 bid, 11S asked, but this is a pretty stock, for there is only a good de- mand in the neighborhood of 113, ana very few people are willing to sell stock at less than IT and l1S. stanley Works is up a point from last week and is quoted 54 bid. New Britain Machine company is 5S bid, o5 asked, with recent sales in the nelghborhood of 60. This company Is reported to be very busy at the present time. North & Judd is quoted SS bid, 90 asked, with quite lew sales at the latter figure. Lam ders, Frary & Clark is in good de- mand at 51 1-2, and recent sales have been at 52 and 52 1-2. Sales of New Britain Gas have ranged from 59 to 60, and Union Manufacturing company stock is quoted 50 bid, 62 asked.
 At the meeting of the Hartford Stock Exchange on Tuesday, 15O was bid for American Hosiery but it is believed, owing to the recent de-. velopments which have taken place in this company, that more would be paid for the stock
 Life Insurance Stock.
 The big rise in the Hartford Life Insurance company stocks seems to have reached climax for the time being. More stock is offered now and it is only natural that a little reaction should take place. Trav- elers, which sold as high as GAO is now offered at 630, Aetna Life holds firm at 490 bid, 800 asked, with sales at the latter figure.
 Colts Arms, after selling as high as 292, has receded somewhat and is now quoted 2SO bid. 2s3 asked, with recent sales at 2S2 1-2. We con- sider these stocks good purchases at the present time for the conservative investor.
 The Fire Insurance company stocks hold firm without much advance. It would seem as though these stocks should have some sort of an advance in sympathy with the Life Insurance company stocks. National Fire is quoted 355 bid, 360 asked. Aetna Fire 343 bid, 345 asked, Hartford Fire 72o to 73o and Phoenix Fire 36o to 37O With sales at 368. Standard Fire is quoted 6S bid 70 asked.
 Of the Bristol stocks New Depar- ture common seems to be in very good demand, and is quoted 125 bid, 127 asked, with recent sales at 126. This com pany, we understand, is in receipt of large orders which should keep them busy for some time to come and prove profitable. The preferred stock of this company is 1O4 bid 107 asked. Recent sales of Bristol Brass have been in the neighborhood of 37. Bristol and Plainvville Tram way company stock is quoted 16O bid. ITO asked. Eagle Lock is quoted 45 bid, 46 asked, and should be good buy at these prices. Recent sales of American Brass have been at 136.

Po.itico- Economic Problem.
Most Important Development.

The announcement of Sir Edward Grey marks one of the most impor- tant developments in the European political situation since the beginning of the war. A water port and an unrestricted outlet from the Black Sea has long been one of Russia's most cherished national aspirations. The attitude of Great Britain in the event that the fortunes of war should favor Russia in the struggle with Turkey has been an open question.

MILITARY TRAINING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Would Be "0rganized |nsanIty,"
 Declares Dr. SChaeffer.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 25.-The public schools of the United States would be organized insanity" ac- cording to N. c. Schaeffer, state au- perintendent of public schools of Pennsylvania, who spoke before the department of superintendents of the National Education association hero yesterday.
 The entire night program was de- voted to discussions on the topic: "Should our educational system in clude activities whose special pur- pose is preparation for war;" Race of Amazons.
 pr. Schaeffer added:
 When the demand is made that militarism form an integral part Of vocational training, the teachers dis traction reaches a climax. If she should succeed in filling this latest requirement. the public schools would develop a race of Amazons more fierce than the militant suffra- gettes.
 Investigations have shown that military drill is injurious during the adolescent period and that the grace fitness of the cadets is not the out come of drilling or marching, but rather of the hours spent under tho direction of the dancing master.
 Europe's Fate Warning.
 "Militarism does not develop the sense of duty such as the Sunday school inculcates, but justifies spy ing. lying, forging letters, telegrams and signals to mislead the enemy. Having been taught that 1t is right to suspend the decalogue for his country's sake, the pupil afterwards repeals the ten commandments for his own sake whenever any advan- tage can thereby be gained in the political or financial world
 The great powers of Europe have come to judgment and are grinding one another to dust and ashes. Their fate should be warning to the American people not to introduce and foster militarism in the public schools"
 President Finlcy's Idea.
 John Fl. Finley, president of the university of the state of New York, and state commissi oner of education. in speaking on the subject of the evening, said:
 If by our educational system you mean our elementary and secondary schools. and If by war you mean the hellish thing which is now going on in Europe, the greatest savage game played under international rules, then I say no, our educational sys- tenn, in it's basic nationwide princi- ples, in it's earth-wide racial heri- tages and it's vocational courses, should not include those whose sDe- cial purpose is preparation for war
 But if you will let me define war, I am ready to answer yes
 Militnrist in Primitive Sense.
 "I am a militarist in the primitive ancient, Aryan sense and I build my martial system on the same founda- ton as that which all European lan guages rememb ber-the assembling, the organizing of individual men into miletes, militia.
 Tt is the war department that has dug the Panama canal, that has made regions accessible, that has made 1 others habitable. that has stayed pestilence and ministered most eff fectively to cities overwhelmed by disaster. I would have the conser- vation of health and the direction of education conceived of as functions 1 or the war department, scientifically, austerely administered for the com smon good"

Upheld by Great Britain, Declares
 Sir Edward Grey.

London, Feb. 25, 3:42 p. m.-Sir Edward Grey. the foreign secretary, announced in the house of commons today that Great Britain was in entire accord with Russia's desire for access to the sea.
 With Russia's desire for access to the sea England is in entire accord" the foreign secretary said, in response to a question from Frederick w. Jowett, whether England knew of and approved the statement of the Russian foreign minister. M Sazanoff, in the Duma, that Russia intended per manently to occupy Constantinople.'
 Po.itico- Economic Problem.
 The foreign secretary responded that he was unaware that M. Sazan- off had made any such statement, but, he added: "The statement I have seen was that M. Sazanoff had said that the event on the Russo-Turkish frontier would bring Russia nearer realization of the politico-economic problem bound up with Russa's ac- cess to the sea.
 With these aspirations he con- tiIued England is in sympathy. What form their realization will take will no doubt be settled in the terms of peace"
