GENIUS KEPT IN HARNESS
Writer Interestingly Describes condi-
tIon Of American Literature Just
Before Civil War.

George Santayana In the New Re-
public writes of the stiffness Of
American literature before the Civil
war: 1T would have been an inter-
esting thing If a thunderclap had sud
denly broken that cloudless new-world
haying-weather, and IL cry of exas-
peration had escaped some strong
soul, surfeited by the emptiness and
blandness of that prim little moral
circle that thought 1t had overcome
everything, when in fact 1t had touched
nothing. But to the genteei mind Of
America, before Walt Whitman and
the Civil war, there was no self-re-
specting opposition. OF course, in that
boundless fsld Of convention, prosper
ity and mediocrity any wild poppy
might struggle up weedily here and
there amid the serried corn. But the
irregular genius had no chance. He
felt sincerely ashamed of himself. He
hid his independence. fed to the back
woods or to Europe, and his sad case
was hushed up as II it. had been In
sanity (for insanity was hushed up
too) and buried with whisper under
the vaguely terrible epitaph dissipated.
He probably died young; at any rate
he never did anything. Whoever
was Embarrassed was lost"

Heroic French Priests.

Questioned on the suggestion that
he should remain a soldier, the priest

Not PhonInu to FISHES.

If you see man leaning over the
railing of bridge intently watching
the river, with a telephone receiver at
his ear do not think that the man is
trying to talk to the fishes or to a
diver below the surface. He is prob
ably one of the governments engi-
neers measuring the amount of water
passing under the bridge. This is
done by lowering an instrument,
known as a current meter into the
water at several points under the
bridge to determine the speed OF the
water and by measuring the depths
of the water at the same points.

REMINGTON SCHOOLS
 REOPEN WEDNESDAY
Transportation to Center School Will Not Be Furnished Until
 November.

Superintendent Charles F. Pratt of day that the Newington schools will reopen for the fall term Wednesday,, September 8. All pupils are urged to be present the first day so that they may have a chance to get a perfect attendance certificate for the year. Last year thirty-six pupils received these certificates.
 All the seventh and eighth grade pupils at Newington Junction will at tend the Center school but they will not be transported until the first of November. This will save the town considerable money. It will not be a hardship for the pupils because the roads are excellent, the weather is usually good, and the distance is not unreasonable.
 Since the distance is not unreason- town to furnish transportation but it does compel the parents to send their children to the school designated by the town school committee unless they provide for their education at some other place.
 The fall term includes seventy two school days and ends Wednesday, December 22. Half holidays will be observed one day this week and next Connecticut fair at Charter Oak park and the Berlin State fair, which opens Tuesday September 14.

Consul's Report.

London, Sept. 6, 11:45 a. m.-The American consul at Queenstown, Wes- ley Frost, telegraphed today to the American embassy that the admiralty authorities had not been informed off, ficially that the Hesperian had been torpedoed without warning but that they believed this was the case. The only officer of the Hesperian who has arrived at Queenstown is an assistant purser. This man and various pas- sengers interviewed by MT. Frost agreed on the statement that no warning was given.
 MT. Frosts message also said that forty-five unorganized Canadian troops were on board, most of them invalided and that the Hesperian had a AZ inch gun mounted astern.
 Americans Saved.
 The consul has been unable to learn of more than two Americans who were on the Hesperian, both members of the crew and both reported to have been saved.
 From stories told by survivors the detailed account of the disaster is gradually being unfolded. Most of the passengers say there is not doubt the attack was made by a German submarine and some of them say they heard the lookout shout Submarine on starboard quarter" Thus far no statement has been made by any sur vivor who saw submarine or a tor pedo.
 Lifeboats Overturn.
 All agree the Hesperian was struck on the starboard side, between the foremast and the bridge. Life boats were launched in the darkness, but without panic. The fourth and fifth boats were lowered unevenly and overturned the occupants being thrown into the water. Some of them were injured.
 At the London office of the Allan Line it is stated that all passengers reached Queenstown safely. Some of the rescued, however, say they heard cries for help from persons In the water.
 Stops Hole With Stocking.
 A woman in one of the lifeboats stopped a small leak by removing a stocking and stuff1ng 1t into the hole.
 Three Sisters of Mercy were among the last to depart from the Hes perian.
 One of the passengers asserts that sixty persons were crowded into a lifeboat having a capacity of forty.
