Bridgeport may be able to pront by the experience Of Newark, N. J., whose paving pdob1ene have been made a subject of consideration by the New ark Board Of Trade.
 The government of the city, like the goverhnnent Of Bridgeport, conceived profound admiration for Warrenite. so that in letting paving contracts, the safeguards of bidding and competi- lion were effnainateds just as they have been here.
 The result Is expressed in letter to The Farmer, printed herewith, from the Newark Board of TradesA
 Varrenite has been laid to a great extent on roads where there is an amount of trafffc and in few years it has travelled and gone to pieces.
 The Newark Board of sTrade Is saf1s- fled from its investig gations that bitu- 1ninous macadana is not an economical pavement to Jay on Streets where there i is much traffc.
 It is satisfied that if such pavement i is to Joe laid. 1t ought to be put down under open specifications. and that patented pavements Should be avoided unless they can get contracts in open bidding.

London, May 12-Anti-German out breaks of particular severity occurred today in the neighborhoodl of the East India docks. Sixty or seventy Ger man shops were wrecked.
 Germans in the vicinity are prepar- ing for self defense and asking for police protection.

ASK Guarantee Against Repedffon ;
 The United States, naturally, will seek financial reparation but it's pro- test now is in the name of interna- tionl law and humanity to obtain a guarantee that such tragedies will not be repeated and the lives of non7coIn- batants sacrificed.
 While high officials and cabinet ofn- cers were reticent to discuss it's con tents it was agreed that the note voiced the intense feeling of the Unit ed States over the occurrenees in the war zone and wanted an explanation of them as well as a guarantee that they would not be repeated.
 The communication lays stress on the ini1umanity of the attacks, with out warning, on merchant vessels. It reviews in g. general way every case in the war zone in which the rights of American citizens have been trans Hgressed-the sinking of the steamer F,aIaba. with the loss of Leon C. Fresh CT. an American; the attack by Ger man airmen on the American steamer Cushing; the torpedoing of the Ameri- can steamer Gulhight while flying the American flag, and finally, the de struction of the Lusitania, with the loss of more than a thousand non combatants, more than one hundred of them Americans.
 The note, while firm and pointed does not abandon tones of friendliness giving room for disavowaI by Ger
 many of her acts or an abatement o1 her practices. This is tntimated in the

suggestion thsta the eermae govern ment and the German people could certainly not have intended to saeri-
 flee American lives in the pursuit of
 their maritime warfare.
 Attention is called to the fact that while advertisements of warning ap-
 peared in the newspapers the United States government was never officially informed of it; but irrespective of that,
 the position is taken that the serving
 of notice to do an unlawful act neither justifies it nor makes it lawful. The note calls on Germany for an explanation for her past and future course and leaves open the steps the
 United States will take to compel an lacquiescence.
 President wilson spent the forenoon

CHILD WELFARE
ORGANIZATION
First Conference on Subject Is
Attended BY Large Number
Wiling to Work

Keen interest in child welfare was
shown by the large number of women
who attended the conference on the
subject yesterday afternoon at the
Library OF Hawaii. The meeting was
devoted chiefly to the question of or
ganization.
The first step toward definite or
ganization was taken when Mrs. F.
W. Macfarlane was elected perman-
ent chairman of the central commit.
tee. Mrs. Arthur @. Smith will CONT
nue. for the present as temporary sec
rotary.
There were a number of resolutions
passed regarding the organization OF
the child welfare committee and the
subcommittee that are TO work I'M
der the direction of the central COM
mittee. The general committee will
be composed Of representative women
from all Of the wcmen's organizations
in Honolulu
According to the present plans there
VIII be committees to aid children in
all parts of the city. There will be
a girls industrial committee, boys
industrial committee, juvenile court
committee, a committee to look after
the needs OF the children in the public
schools and a publicity committee.
