 State Trade School

Although Bridgeport has the great est trade school in the United States, Bridgeporters in general know little about it, according to F. w. Keough, editor of a magazine published by the National Manufactures Go.
 MT. Keough wanted to visit the school here. He asked two police men, one at the railroad station, and they didn't know where it is. At police Headquarters, they said it iS tssomewhere in the direction of Cans non street" A citizen had never heard of it. A High school student said she rem embered seeing 1t from her bedroom window.
 MT Keough has written to Super intendent of Police Eugene Rirnaing- ham, asking him to inform his police men of the location of the trade school His letter follows;
 Passing through Bridgeport on Monday, I thought I would improve the opportunity to visit the Cennectt cut State Trade Education shop.
 1.-TWO patrolmen, one at the railway station, were unable to direct me to 1t. One citizen whom I accosted later, had never heard of it. At the police sta ton, where I applied for information. was told it was somewhere over In the direction of Cannon street. 4

GEN. sUKHoMLINoFF

Russia's gigantic army is in no small measure a monument to the military genius of Gen. Sukhon1linoff, the aged veteran who. at the beginning of the present conflict, was placed at the head of the war office in Petrograd
 Gen. Sukhom1inoff was born nearly seventy years ago and has taken part in all of Russia,s wars since the con- f1ict with Turkey in 1877, although in the latter Asiattc campaigns he was kept at home to direct the dispatch of troops and other operations Tn the Turkish war of 1877 he was the fav- orite lieutenant of the famous Gen. Dfagomiroff, and succeeded him in the command of the southWestern n provinces of the empire. with head quarters at Kfeff. His work in mas tering the strategic problems connect ed with the defense of the southwest ern and western frontiers of the Czar's donnfnions was recognized as rnasterly, and a. few years ago he was recalled to the capital to take the post of minister of war and reorganize the Russian army, which was badly de- moralized following the war with Japan. More than any other man he was responsible for restoring the shattered military forces of Russia to a fighting basis He 1opped off the official heads of scores of commanding officers who had won their rank by political influence rather than by ability, and replaced them with fight ing men of greater capabflity. Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaiovitch and the Emperor stood back of him in the shaking up process which ridded the Russian army of such official dead wood. Gen. 5ukhomIinoc figured in a scandal some years ago when he was raarned as correspondent in the divorce of the beautiful Mime. de Butkewitch, whom he afterward married.

DR. PARK HURST, 73 TODAY,ASTERN
 CRITIC OF KAISER

Kaiser Wilhelm has a few. sterner critics on this side of the Atlantic than Rev Dr. Charles Henry Parkhurst. Although he will be seventy-theee years old today, having been born in Birmingham, Mass, April IT, 1842, pr. Parkhurst is not only able to pre- pare and deliver his full quota of ser mons, but he addresses a vast audience through his daily newspaper articles. Dr. Parkhurst first. attained interna- ttonsI celebrity nearly a quarter of a century ago, when he became head of the New York Society for the. Preven- ton of Crime and led a crusade against Gothan1's finest which turn ed the New York police department upside down and inside out.
 In his frequent discussions of the war Dr. Parkhurst has placed the re sponsibilfty at the door of the Kaiser. He has often asserted that the war
 must be made decisive and that peace should not be considered until Elm peror William has been made to see a
 great light as to the advantages of permanent and lasting peace.
 tsWhen a mad dog runs amucl,' ; wrote pr. Parkhurst, the policeman shoots him on the spot-not by way Of revenge but as a humanitarian contribution to the security of the pub lie. Now has a. more rabid creature than Emperor William ever run amucl through the peaceful and prosperous domain of Europe2 The
 policeman makes no argument with the dog and enters into no compromise with him, but deals with him in ex- elusive regard to the requirements of society, and simply blots him out as a
 public menace; deals with him exactly as Germany dealttwith Poland at the
 time of the partition; deals with him
 as Germany meant to deal with France in the war of TO, when she intended to impose. a war indemnity so heavy, and so to cripple her mili-
 tary means of defense and offense as to crush her as military power and l render Germany invuInerab1e from the side of B'rance- Now the same kind of medicine that Germany has admins istered to Poland and France Is exactly 1 the kind that should be administered to her. It may not be necessary to
 strang1e her. but her claws should be
 clipped and her teeth filed; and enough of her Qualifications dis
 nantled as to render her harmless

NOT A MATTER FOR BARGAINING.

That able American, John Hay, discerned a
good many years ago at one point of some ne
gotiations with Germany that European di-
plomacy is largely game of bluff, and doubt
less President Wilson and Secretary of State
Lansing recognize it perfectly now. .~.=
American diplomacy in this administration
is not bluff. Wilson's most vigorous critics
haven't accused him of bluffing. In fact, the
Wilson-Bryan diplomacy has been raped be-
cause in it the cards are laid upon the table
and America proceeds on the assumption that
frank and straightforward exchange of views
is the surest path to ultimate agreement.
The first and second American notes to Ger
many on submarine warfare stand as we'll
considered, reasonable and notably direct state
ments. They hide no "catch,' conceal no trap.
They represent no maximum of demands put
out merely as medium for bargaining And
America does not propose to bargain. Herr
Won Jagow, German foreign secretary, is quot
ed in the dispatches this morning as complain
ing that America takes wrong view of Ger
man warfare The Wilhelmstrasse will be
making needless error if it reasons from this
premise4to the conclusion that the best diplem-
acy, now is to chatter or to haggle.

VALUABLE DATA
Will BE RESULT
/. OF MORTAR Fire

The extensive tests in mortar firing
now being made at Forts Ruger and
Kamehameha were continued today,
data Of great interest to the service
being deduced by the trial shots fired
from one mortar at each fort.
1t is believed that very valuable
data as to the effect of air currents on
the flight of mortar projectiles at
high attitudes will be collected and
that the knowledge thus gained will
improve the accuracy Of mortar work
throughout the service.
The most minute and careful obser-
yations are being made and when the
mass of record is complete the proper
deductions can be made The allow.
ance of service ammunition made by
the war department for this work is
considered sufficient. A year ago an
attempt was made to make the tests
but the department was so niggardly
with its ammunition appropriation
that results were almost negligible.

FURNISHING THE NoN-coMsAT.
j.. . ~. ANTS. ...... 49,

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: l notice among the eS t9nges
that come to the public library a ca.
madam newspaper that fairly bristles
with jabs at the Germans no@ in the
Canadian provinces, and calls Cn all
the English to boycott the
Germans now there to the last ditch,
and would welcome a session of anti.
German rioting such as has been on
tap in England. 49,. =.
This phase of the situation in Cana
da is as vicious and uncalled for as was
the sinking of the Lusitania which
has inspired it. Ths Germans now
domiciled throughout. the Canadian
provinces were in no wise responsible
for the Lusitania outrage. They did
not plan it and could not have prevent
ed it. They are simply in the unfor-
tunate position of being subjects of a
country whose government has seen
tit to transgress the rules of civilized
warfare and seemingly the laws of
humanity. .~..
1t is not the German subject in an
alien land who is to be held to account
and punished for the misdeeds Of the
German naval and military authorities,
but the government itself which plans
the outrages and forces the military
and naval forces to carry them out.
Because the home government of
the Germans has seen fit to perpe.
trate outrages on innocent non-eom.
batants under the guise of war, which
caused the civilized world to cry out
in horror, does not give license for
rioting and attacks on German resi-
dents in foreign lands even in the
lands that are opposing Germany. Two
wrongs never make right, and they
will not in this case. 49, 49,. -.
