WAR TERMS NOT UNDERSTOOD
Hope" for Instance. Ha, Not
the Meaning With Which II
lie Credited.

In the course OF every war one
hears a great deal about "torlorn
hopes" The term is one OF the most
misused In the vocabulary Of war II
Is commonly misunderstood TO mean
lost troop"-that Is detached
troop" The word hope" in the
phrase is not an English but a Dutch
word, hoop" meaning literally
heap" and secondarily body OF
troops, The word "forlorn" represents
the Dutch "verloren"-lost. A yer.
loren hoop" was a detached body OF
troops thrown out in front Of the main
line OF battle TO find the enemy
and engage them first. This Was the
regular sixteenth and seventeenth
century practice, and though It was
one Of the more dangerous kinds OF
service II was not desperate or, In
the English sense, forlorn. Nowadays
much the same work ls done By the
detached bodies Of cavalry which are
thrown u before the main line to find
the enemy.
"~CRpitulation" is another term OF
war, which is very loosely used. Il
does not mean surrender. but ur.
render on terms; in fact, II means the
terms, not the surrender. II lie from
the Latin "capitulum" or heading
iron which is derived our word
"chapter'), and a capitulation h q
formal treaty OF surrender drawn up
under a series Of headings or chap
ters' embodytng the terms % zach

were martial.
The deepest sorrow anh mortihca-
ton he had ever known wa that which
came to him when Tamarack Spicer,
his prisoner Of war and a man who had
been surrendered on the strength Of
his personal guaranty. had been as
s|assinated before his eyes. In some
fashion, he must make amends. He
realized. too, and II ranked deeply,
that his men were not being genuinely
used to serve the state. but as lnstru-
ments of the Hollmans. and he had
seen enough to distrust the Hollmans.
Here. in Hixon. he was seeing things
from only one angle. He meant to
learn something more impartial.

Vet Samson had not come to the
stronghold OF his enemy for the pur-
pose Of assassination. There had been
another object In his mild-an utterly
mad idea. Il Is true, yet so bold OF
conception that Il held a ghost Of
promise. He had meant to go into
Jesse Purvy's store and chat artlessly,
like some inquisitive "furrlner." He
would ask questions which by their
very impertinence might be forgiven
on the score Of a strangers folly. But,
most OF all, he wanted TO drop the cas-.
uai information, which he should as.
sumo to have heard on the train, that
Samson South was returning. and to
mark, on the assassin leader, the effect
Of the news. In his new code Il was
necessary to give at least the rattler's
warning before he struck. and he
meant 20 strike. II he we're recog-

AMATO'S VOICE THRILLS THRONC
 0F MUSICIANS
Wednesday Afternoon Musical Clubs Audience Wild
 With Enthusiasm.

-Signor Pasqua1e Amato sang The
 words are sufficient. There is none in any language which could sound one exquisite tor: of his matchless voice
 and to attempt to describe it is to be- little it. Signor Amato's voice only can live in the memories of those who have heard it. They who have not been initiated into it's beauties have missed something with which the pen, mighty as it is, can never supply them. For an hour and a half a huge audience of rich and poor and old and young was made kindred by voice. Signor Amato the man was handsome in appearance and charming in man iners, but Signor Amato the vofee was not to be compared with any other baritone voice. The full qualities of Amato's voice, the exquisite soft tones and the power full dramatic ones would not have been thoroughly brought out had it not been, for the wonderfully sympathetic accompanying of Guissseppe Banabo scheck, who also is the singers man ager.
 It was the first concert which the Wednesday Afternoon Musical club has given this season and was held at the usual meeting place, the First M. B. church, at 3:30 o'clock yesterday af-' ternoon. The audience, among whom there were many residents of New~I ~Ida- ven, refused to let the singer retire at the end of the first half of the pro- gram. It app1auded with an enthuA siasm seldom shown hereabouts Amato finally responded with ah encore and again at the end of his program, when people arose from their seats and stood -clapping for several minutes, he sang a selection from ''The Barber Of Seville,'' with dramatic force seldom to be Witnessed.' Although his program was excep- tions. from German, French, Italian, and English, the artist was most gen erous with his encores, repeating some of the songs which pleased most and adding. several different ones The Wednesday Afternoon Musical club, who are responsible for his com ing here, should be congratulated for bringing so accomplisFf an artist to the city.
 Amator's program follows:

COPS INVADE BURCLARlZED HOME; HOLD UP ONE ANOTHER
 THEN ARREST DRESS FORM

searchlights were instantly doused.
 "Over there, close to the wall,'' came the directions and the police pussy-footed toward the spot where a skulking black figure was dirnly outlined against the wall. Half a dozen guns covered the form. Now came the order and search ' lights flashed up, as the cops dove en masse onto the figure.
 They met with no resistance. Care fII1 search when the pile was un- tangled showed that they had cap tured a, dress form, which bore the license number La Resista5 36'' across the radiator.
 The police saw the form was prop erly licensed and convinced that it could have had nothing to do with the burglary, allowed it to stay in the garret.
 Some few minutes later, Ike Will Hams snuk up to a dark yfigure, cov- ering' it with it's gun, and then flashed his searchHght. This prompt action averted the utter disfigurement of a beautiful architectural column that supported a window ledge.
 Long search brought the police only these c1ues:- In several rooms there were damp footprints, evidently made by rubber ttsneaks.'' The police are looking for the owner of the t.'sneaks' on the theory that he may know something of the matter.
 Entrance to the, house was gained by ''j1mnying'' a French window on the second floor. Several rooms were ransacked. The maid, who called the police, lost $26 in cash and gold watch. The Auger family, who were at the theatre when the robbery oc- cured, today were, taking inventory to determine their exact losses.

Patrolman on Roof Is Mistaken for Crackslnan and Is Target for His Associates Pistols.

| Policeman Joseph T. Cough1in, the 1 handsome and intrepid guardian of l the peace, is on, his job today just as if his very life hadn't been threat ened by one of his brother Sleuths 1 last night. Coughlin was one of a de- tail of police who today summed up stirring events of last evening as fol l lows:
 Burglars entered and robbed the home of James M. Auger, $50 Fair field avenue, about o'clock, and made getaway with a booty the value of which is yet unknown. Joe CoughIin narrowly escaped be- ing the target for Sergeant Ike Will Hams trusty gun, when, in his pur- suit of the Inarauder, he kicked 8 scdttIe from its noscings on the roof. An hours search of the house at last brought to light skulking form in the attic; seven guns covered the sinking figure; lights were flashed onto it and the police had captured ga perfect S6'' dress form.
 It was rather a busy evening for the police Shortly after o'clock, Ser geant O'Conne1l, at headquarters, re- ceived a telephone message that burg lars were having a field day in the home of James M. Auger. The mes sage came from Friend Smith, next door neighbor, to whose home a maid had fled when the barking of a dog warned her that burglars were busy in the Auger home.
 Exactly one minute later the police patrol stopped in front Of the Auger, home. Driver Dennis Toolan, Police man Joseph T. Coughlin, and a couple of newspaper reporters, who had been pressed into service, were piled out in a jiffy, A few minutes later Ser sgeant Ike Williams and APo1iceman D. a run.
 Driver Too1an covered the rear of the house, while Cough1in bounded in the front door, armed with search light and gun He was followed by the volunteer. reporter-cops, one of whom carried a hickory nightstick and the other a cedar lead pencil.
 Godghlin made hurried but thor ough search of the premises, from cellar to garret. The only egress from the attic was by the sky-1ight route. Coughlin thought he'd better look the roof over a bit,. for you can never tell where these burglars will hide when Bridgeport cops get chasing them.
 He tilted the skylight a bit, and it down 4the sloping roof, with a crash that sounded like a busy day on the battle front.
 saThere he is; coming out on the roof shouted Friend Smith, who was watching proceedings from his yard.
 Sergeant Ike Williams, and his squad, who had just arrived, bounded up a ladder just a sylph-1ike form twisted itself through the aperture where the sky1ight used to live.
 Hands up,'' was their order. and a flock of long, lean blue guns GOV cred the man.
 stAw, take it easy,'' came the re- sponse. Searchlights flashed out and the police discovered they had cap- tured Joe Coughlin in the act of hunt. ing for burglar.
 Then the search was begun all over, again. The policemen and villagers trooped into the house via the sky light route,I and began to look things over in the attic.
