HERE IS A GREAT BIG HUMAN
REQUEST BY A MERE GIRL
The Day Book doesn't take adVer-
tisements, and if this sounds like one
it amt no such thing. But a girl Of
about 10, with great big blue eyes
that had mist in them and face
so soft and tender that it would melt
the heart of a cynic, and soft voice
that sounded as though it were SEN
tinel trying to keep back something
the owner of it didn't want to talk
about, walked into our office and
asked us this:
'Do you think you can find for me
woman who is fond of children who
will take and board my two-months'-
old baby girl?" A pause. 81 couldn't
pay so much and l don't want to
give the baby away-just board her
out until she is year old, so that
my sister can take care of her"
Another pause and the blue eyes
misted again. 81 have to go to work,
so l cannot take care of her. But
thought maybe you could find some
woman who likes babies who would
board my baby''-it would thrill an
angel to hear her say my baby
land I'll pay for her"
So this isn't an advertisement-not
a bit of it-but if there is some
woman who is fond of children who
will board a two-months old baby
until the mother of it is able to take
care of it again any letters addressed
to The Day Book will be turned over
to the girl with the great big blue
eyes and face that would melt the
heart of a cynic

cONGRESSMEN OPPOSE WAR
PREPAREDNESS PLANS

Washington, Nov. 9. - Increased
open opposition to the administra-
tons national defense program by
Democrats was indicated today as a
result of refusal of Former Sec'y of

Leader Kitchin to endorse the plan.
From 1.-The country reports are
reaching here of threatened opposi-
ton by other Democrats in congress.
Politicians are interested in rumors
that Representative Sherwood of
Ohio, father of the "dollar-a-day"
pension law, is planning to oppose
the preparedness program.

Carranza, as the mOmentary dicta-
tor of Mexico, expelled the Spanish
minister to Mexico, and now Spain is
appealing to the powers for joint &C
ton to end the state of anarchy pre-
vailing in Mexico. 1t will be interest
ing to note that Spain does not in
clude the United States in this appeal,
as the inability or Discrimination of the
United States to make any effort to
save the lives and property of it's own
citizens, or the citizens of foreign
powers, in Mexico is so apparent that
Spain evidently considers the present
administration negligible quantity as
an influence in restoring order to that
country. What a humiliating reflec-
ton this is upon the sapient Mexican
policy, or lack of policy, of the Will
scn-Bryan administ' alton. 1t holds
this country up to ridicule among all
nations. The shocking conditions that
prevail in Mexico today are wholly
due to the querulous position taken by
President Wilson when he refused to
recognize Huerta on grounds that
would bar about every leader in Mexi-
co from the presidency. Had he rec
ognized the Mexican government as
then constituted, and as stable as it
is likely ever to be, there would have
been some semblance of order at this
time, and protection to life and prop
erty. Every action the president has
taken in the Mexican situation has
been a mistake, void of accomplish
m mt, contributing to the unsettled
across the Rio Grande. The
United States is looked upon with con-
tempt by the powevs for the feeble,
vacilating course pursued in it's Mexi-
can policy.

The war situation in Europe has
changed little in months. Along the
French and Belgium frontiers the
combatants are in close touch, fight
ing is almost continuous, although no
decisive battle has been lost or won,
and neither side is giving ground to
any extent. Advances whenever made
is by inches, and feet and yards,
and every foot made is gained
at cost of much blood. Both sides
are strongly entrerched, and wher-
ever the offensive is taken the loss of
life is severe. In Poland fighting be-
tween the Russians and German-Aus-
trian forces has been very severe, and
especially trying to troops owing to
the inclement weather. During the
last week, if any reliance can be plac-
ed in reports from the scene Of hos
ed a very severe defeat to the Rus
slams at one point on the extended
battle front. But it is almost impos-
sible to form any icea of the real re-
suit as the reports from Berlin and
Petrograd are so at variance, both
sides claiming to have made advances
News from the several fronts is so
unsatisfactory and unreliable that
little is really known of the real state
OF affairs, further than that war is
steadily claiming a terrible toll. No
matter what may be the final outcome
the European nations involved will
not recover from the effects for anoth-
e. hundred years.

For the first time since assuming
control of the government the present
administration has displayed more
backbone than that of an oyster. Late
ly English ships have used the Ameri-
can flag in order to escape capture or
destruction by the German navy, and
Germany issued proclamation de-
claring the sea off the coast of France
and England to be in the war zone,
warning neutral ships of danger OF
destruction from submarines in those
waters. President Wilson has enter
ed strong protest to England against
the use of the American flag as a
means of protection for English YES
sells, and issues warning to Germany
that that country will be held strictly
accountable if American vessels are
destroyed, or the lives of American
citizens are jeopardi ted, by any of the
German naval forces. There is no
mistaking the attitude of the president

ard will not passively tolerate the de-
struction of the lives of American

and could lead up 70 serious copse
quences, but under the circumstances

course he could take, and the people

PETROGRAD

The first building in Petrograd- formerly St Petersburg g-Vas com menced PIP years ago today, May 27, 1793, by Peter the Great, who toi1ed with his own hands in laying the foundations of the modern capital of Russia In choosing the delta of the Neva for his capital Peter the Great ignored the advice of the ablest en- gineers of Russia, who declared that the building of a city on the rniry site involved so many difficulties as to be impossible. Peter was not discoTr- aged, and built a small hut for him self, and some wooden novels for the workmen engaged in the gigantic task. Peasants by thousands were ordered to leave their fields and en- gage in the operations Tremendous piles were driven into the marsh to serve as a, foundation for the build ings. The locality was so unhealthfuI that the toi1ers died like flies, but Peter the Great perseyered and 1ashed the survivors to their tasks. In 1710 the first brick house was built, and in I'll the capital of the empire was transferred from Moscow to the new city which was, as Peter expressed it. the. window from which he could look out upon Europe. In 1736 the city was almost destroyed by fire but it was rebuilt and has survived many subsequent confIagrations.

OF UNION
 ILL RECEIVED WHEN COMMITTEE MEETS
Proposed Ordinance Legal, City Attorney Says Alder
 men Disagree.

The petition of the Bricklayers' & PIasterers' union that union men and Bridgeport men in particular be given the preference in all city work and on all buildings for the city, received scant consideration at the meeting of the ordinance committee of the com
 mon council last night. The legality of such an ordinance was questioned
 by Alderman BIakes1ee. He said he had talked with City Attorney Connley and had been informed that an ordi- nance of such character was legal but
 he questioned if it would be for the
 best interests of the city to adopt such an ordinance The matter was put
 over for the time being while the com
 nittee discussed City Engineer Terry's
 proposals for g, regulation of the sewer system by ordinance.
 | When it was again taken up for dis
 cussion Alderman Winterburn said a
 similar ordinance had been proposed
 before and that a, former city attor- ney had questioned it's legality. A1-
 dernan Blakeslee remembered this
 and said it is because of the decision of a former city attorney that he had consulted City Attorney CornIey on the
 matter. Alderman Whitney alone spoqe in favor of the petition. He said he thought it would be r@oper legislation and if the city attorney said it would be legal he saw no req son for delaying action. It was finally voted to lay the matter on the table until the next meeting of the commit tee in order that the members might get more information on the subject.

John Kendrick Bangs, Famous Humorist,
 Born in Yonkers

Yonkers, N. Y., is a thriving. pros porous, progressive city. with nothing inherently humorous about it but the people of its big neighbor, Gotham, insist upon considering Yonkers as a perennial joke Such being the case, it is quite appropriate that. Yonkers should be the adopted home of Irwin s. Cobb, formerly of Paducah, and the birthplace of John Kendrick MT. Bangs made his initial appear ance in the world and in Yonkers fifty-three years ago today. He was educated at Columbia and studied law for couple of years, but soon abandoned his legal ambitions to be- come an associate editor of Life. Later he was associated, in an edi- toria1 capacity, with Harper's Nigga zine, Harper's Weekly, Metropolitan Magazine and Puck All this time he publication of Roger Camerden'' g nearly thirty years ago, until now his list of titles runs into the dozens.
 MT. Bangs was democratic candidate for mayor of Yonkers in 1894, but was defeated, and the highest office he ever achieved was vice president of the Yonkers Board of Education A few years ago the humorist estab- hshed a home in Maine and left un- appreciative Yonkers to it's fate and Try Cobb.
 Humor, MT. Bangs has confessed, is an elusive thing. and difficult to define. What is one mans joke, 7 he wrote, Ifs another mans trial. There are people who laugh when an old man slips and falls heavily on a small boys slide There are people who take Bernard Shaw seri- ously- I know man who never goes to funerals, because although he en- joys them hugely, she is always seiz- ed with an irresistible desire to laugh when he even sees an undertaker.'' 2
 MT Bangs gained 8 place in the forefront Of American writers with "A House Boat on the Styx,'' 'sThe Idiots' and ssMr Bonaparte of Corsica all of which were publish ed twenty wears ago

KING EMMANUEL EXPORTS SUBJECTS
 TO STAND LOYAL

Rome, May 27-King Victor Elm manuel, upon taking supreme com mand of the Italian army and navy, issued the following order:
 Soldiers on land and sea: the sol enn hour of the nations claims has struck. Following the example of my grandfather, take today supreme command of Italy's forces on land and sea, with the assurance of victory which your bravery, self -abnegation and discipline will obtain.
 The enemy you are preparing to fight is hardened to war and worthy of you. Favored by the nature of the ground and skillfu1 works, he will resist tenaciously; but your unsubdued ardor will surely vanquish him.
 Soldiers: to you has come the glory of unfurIfng Italy's colors on the sacred lands which nature has given as the frontiers of our country. To you has come the glory of finally accomplishing the work undertaken with so much heroism by our fath- ers.''

Houston Chamberlain

Although he is English and the son of a British admiral, without a drop of fTeuton blood in his veins, Hous- ton Stewart Chamberlain now wears the Iron Cross by grace of the Ger man emperor, that order having re- gently been conferred upon him in recognition of his bitter attacks on his native land, which have been widely published in the German press MT. Chamberlain is the author of the best known biography of Wagner. For many years he has lived in Ger many, contributing to the leading re- views and magazines. He married Eva Wagner; daughter of the great composer, and spends most of his time at the celebrated Wagner villa in Rayreuth, the home of his mother in-Ia.w. Chamberlain has become a naturalized citizen of Germany, and, in throwing off allegiance to his na- tive country, gave himself over to the bitterest criticisms of the govern ment, people, institutions, customs and characteristics of Britain and BritisheFs. In giving vent to his hatred of ''perfidious Albion Cham ber1ain has surpassed the most vitrioIic of Teuton writers. Since the war began he has thrown off all re- straint, and his articles are widely read and appIauded. English though he is, he has become a, popular idol in Germany. Chamberlain early ambition was to become a British army officer, but he was refused as physically unfit for the service, and ever since he has been an enbittered expatriate. His ancestors for gen. erations have been English. His father, the late William C. Chamber lain, was an admiral in the royal navy, and his mother was the daugh- ter Of an English naval officer, Capt Basil Hall In their hatred of Eng lishmen Germans make few excep- tions, and the chief of these is Cham ber1ain.
