COUNTY HOME UNDER STATE CONTROL
Advocated by Dr. w. De Loss Love of Connecticut Humane Society-Has Been Increase of Children in the Last Dozen Years-Infll1 of Foreigners Cause.

The business management, of the county homes, says Dr. Love, ap- pears to have been all that could be desired. The reported values of the seven county homes is $421,- 900.
 ''We have, however, come to a time when the people of Connecticut should carefully consider, and the general assembly finally determine, if it is wise to make additional in- vestments fin buildings on the pres- ent plan. If some changes in the buildings are desirable they should be made before the properties are further developed says pr. Love
 Dr; Love says that no children should be committed to g. county home unless it is absolutely neces- sary and he thinks the interests of the state require an agency to make more exhaustive examination be- fore petitions for commitment are condition of children, he says, seems to be offered by fewer commit ments.
 Why the Increase.
 The increase of the last dozen years is due very largely to socia! conditions in Connecticut. These have been changed by the influx of q large foreign population. In pr. Loves opinion. most of these immigrants are succeeding admirably in getting a foOthold in 8 new civilization. There will, always be, however, under such \ conditions, some families that fail through misfortune or vice. Hence, the in- crease in commitments of children of foreign born parents, and the ] augmented difficulties of placing such children in private families. The surprise is that under these conditions 1 the increase has been so small. \ special commission to investi- l gate the subject of state control of l county homes is advocated by Dr. ! Love.

Placing tfe county temporary homes under state control, is advo- cated by Rev. pr. William De- Loss Love, president of the Connec- ticut Humane society, in a pamphlet just completed
 Dr. Love reviews at length the history of the county homes since they were established in 1883. They were then, he says, intended to be dren could be sent until such time as they could be placed in families one at time" says DT. Love, and the alnshouge avoided. No one anticipated the large expenditures for county home properties and the maintenance of inmates. It was considered entirely feasible 10 find homes in good families"
 Dr. Love cites the present law whreby children committed by the courts to the temporary homes, arc supported by the state. He says: has thus been considered by town county and state authorities, and has been accepted by all as the" pol icy of the state. We have come thus, by our legislation and prac- tice, to the conclusion that commit ment by a court is the proper meth cd by which children of the above named classes should be placed ir the temporary homes: that the ex- pense of such procedure and theil support khile there should be paid by the state, which thus practically supports these county homes. anG that all these children so commit ted are wards of Connecticut. tc whom the state owes the fullest dis charge of the duties of guardian ship"

SCARCITY OF NEUTRAL SHIPS
 TO CARRY RENTING TRADE
Emphasized by Chairman of House
 Merchant Marine Committee.


 Washington, Jan, 1.-Ssacrtiy of neutral ships to carry the reviving trade between the United States and Germany is emphasized in a letter written by Secretary McAdoo to Rep resentative Alexander, chairman of the house merchant marine committee, concerning development of the work of the war risk insurance board in the treasury department
 Some of the steamship companies, D the secretary said, are offering boats that have been in port, out of use for a considerable length of time, and render it questionable whether they should be permitted to sail on such voyages"
 Marine Insurance.
 NIT. AbcAdoo said that the board was writing insurance up to $750,000 on csrgoes of cotton to Germany, the amount divided between vessels and cargoes. and added that he understood that the regular marine insurance companies were not writing policies more freely. He quoted the board as reporting Tt can be safely assumed that the American and German com panies are doing their utmost to re- lieve the existing situation and to de- velop sufficient market to take care of the largest cargo. The German com panies have a very special reason for desiring to do the utmost in this direc- ton.
 Must Differentiate as to Ports.
 'tAs far as marine insurance is con- cerned, we must differentiate between ships destined to German ports and those to neutral ports, with the possi- bility of transhipment to Germany. As to the latter, the situation is practically mo different than exists in ordinary years. Rates to Rotterdam, Copen- hagen and other Scandinavian ports are practically the same as last year on similar vessels. The si2e of the market is more than sufficient on such

HARAMY ADDRESSES
LUTHERAN AUDIENCE

The teachings Of mission schools
prevented the holy war called by the
sultan Of Turkey from being q sue
cess, according to J. G. Haramy, a
student at Earlham. whose home is ten
miles from Jerusalem, In Palestine.
Mr.. Haramy spoke In behalf Of the
foreign mission at the annual obBerv-
ance of foreign mission day held In
the First English Lutheran church,
and In other Lutheran churches.
The Syrian said the Mohammedans
are unwilling to kill people of other
religious beliefs any longer on relig-
ious differences because of the Chris
tian teachings of the mission schools.
He described the former attitude taken
by Mohammedans toward non-believ-
ers of Mohammedism, where MohRm'
med followers are in the majority.
1.-THE sultan can not longer conduct
successful religious war because the
religion is changing, and the children
of Mohammedans are growing UP un'
der the guidance of American mission
school teachers" Mr.. Haramy said.
The donation following Mr.. Har
amy's talk was unusually good. All
money collected in the church yester
day was given to foreign missions. Nc
patriotic services were held.

KLEINKNECHT ASKS
FOR FIRE MIGRANT

Although Superintendent Klein
knecht Of the city electric light plant
recommended last week that no IL
surance be carried on the plant be-
cause there was no danger OF loss by
fire, he appeared before the board of
public works today and requested that
the city order the Water Works conf
pany to locate fire hydrant near the
plant. the rental to be paid by the
plant.
II thought there was no danger Of a
fire at the plant" sarcastically remark
ed President Bavis.
"Well, If a hydrant is located there
it will reduce the insurance rate. Be-
sides 1t will also serve as protection
for the crematory," Klienknecht re-
piled. The board ordered the hydrant
installed
Last week, despite the opposition OF
Mr.. Bavis, the two other board mem
bers voted to reduce the insurance on
the city plant from 100000 to $4,000.
This action was taken after Klein
knecht had recommended that no in
surance be carried.

kENWORTHY SPEAKS
ON Bible WRITINGS
Tells Ministers Of Different
Factors Directing Currents
of Literature.

Consistent efforts to counteraot the
teachings Of Karl Marx have been In
strumental in molding religousi litera-
ture, while discoveries Of carvings and
ancient documents have shifted the
foundations of religious writings.
These and many other factors which
have helped to develop modern relig-
ious literature were discussed by the
Revf. Murray Kenworthy in a paper
on Our Religious Literature before
the Ministerial Association today.
Rev. Kenworthy said that discover.
les Of travellers In the East who found
carvings and ancient documents, had
influenced religious literature pro-
foundly and radically. and has pushed
back civilized history from 5000 to
1000 years before Christ.
Religious literature has been af.
fected by efforts to offset the influ.
ence exerted by Karl Marx. the leader
Of modern socialism," he said. "His
torically and other kinds of criticisms
have been brought OF bear upon the
Biblical texts. resulting in much con.
troversy. One of the most interesting
efforts at Bible translation Is credited
to a group of scholars of the Baptist
church"
Rev. Kenworthy directed attention
to the influence which the theories ad.
vanced by followers Of. Darwin's the.
DRY OF evolution had had on religious
literature. These teachings, he said
were all at variance with the story
of the development OF life as set forth
in the Book Of Genesis.

Eighteen Years Required,
Under Present Plan, to

WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-Declaring
that some Of the principal coast cities
Of the United States are not safe from
bombardment. and that reports Of the
recent hearings before the house ap-
preparations committees do not dis
close the true situation. Representa-
tive A. B. Gardner In the house today
appealed for stronger coast defenses.
He spoke from the text. Yankee Doc
die, Guard Your Coast" which he said
was the warning OF the forefathers in
the national anthem.
Gardner declared the coast defense
guns have only 70 per cent Of the mini
mum amount Of ammunition estimated
for them. and the pending fertilization
bill raised the percentage to only 743s
per cent Of the minimum amount.
Lack Ammunition.
General Weaver has said," contin-
ued Gardner, "that the proper allow
ance Is two hours ammunition for each
OF our coast defense guns, instead OF
one hour. At the present rate Of ap-
preparation 1t will be eighteen year be-
fore we will have enough ammunition
for our coast defense guns to last even
one hour. Perhaps by that time we
will get around to considering the dec
laration of the chief of artillery that
we needed twice the amount"
Relative to the defenses of the coast
cities he said: ~ believe it to be
true, and l have heard that the pub
lished hearings do not contain all that
transpired in the appropriations COM
mittee room, when officers present
discussed the safety of our coast cities.
! am not convinced that these cities
are safe from bombardment by the
New British and German superdread-
naughts with their long range guns.
-.. Lack Barbed Wire.
do you realize that we haven't even
a strand of barbed wire to impede an
attack on our forts in the rear? Not
even a rat-trap to catch an unguarded
soldiers toe Our forts are open on
the land side, every one of them. AS
for our sea coast guns, they can't help
us repel land attack, for We have
ingeniously SO arranged it that only
three of the entire LOO are mounted
SO as to shoot in any direction. There
can be no doubt that troops conveyed
and landed by a successful foreign ma

enough, that is so, unless Mr.. Bryan's
million patriots suddenly sprang to
arms and could find the arms to spring
to. l know 1t to be true that both
General Crozier and General Weaver
have recommended that additional for
tifications are necessary on account of
the increase Of guns and on account of
the territorial growth of certain of our
fortified cities"
