Stories of the War
Labor Conditions During the War.

The breach between the revolution ary fraction and the less violent ele- ment of the socialist party in France is likely to be widened by contentious over labor conditions during the war. The "sacred union" of all parties, helped by the censor has kept the strife under cover since the beginning of hostilities, but there are many signs now that the fire is only smould- ering.
 A. Merrheim, Secretary of the Metal Workers Union and one of the mili- tapts of the revolutionary party, and A. Bourderon, another leader of the Confederation General de Travail (general labor federation) attended the international socialist conference at Zimmerwald, Switzerland in Sep tember last, and signed the joint man. ifesto of the French and German del egates. That declaration attributed to the governments of all the nations at war responsible for the war; it also averred that the sacred union" de- clared in all the belligerent countries profited only the capitalist regime.
 As the result of their participation in the Zimmerwald conference, Com rades Merrheim and Bourheron were declared suspected" by the sections of the socialist party of the depart ment of Seine, and al members were invited to keep alof from them.'
 'ASo long as the war lasts, or so long as martl3I law Is nalntalneo we can do nothing said Merrheim to the As sociated Press, but as son as the war is over there will be a rendering of accounts; our action then may be very abrupt and violent"
 Merrheim and his comrade of the General Federation of Labor repudiate utterly the socialist pOliticians-depu- ties and ministers; they are advocates of direct action void of the routine of politics. The Metal Workers Un- 1 ion, however, maintained relations with the Socialist Minister of Muni- tions, Albert Thomas, until the last of May, when they sent him an ultima tum declaring that if certain condi- tions which they regarded as abuses in ] the intuition factories were not abOl-

OTHER VIEW POINTS

A competent witness before the na- val committee of the house was asked why it took so Ong to build a subma- rine for the American navy, and he answered immediately because no pen alties for failure in point of time are ever enforced upon the contractors
 The contracts are all right and there are penalties in them, but when the contractor who is working for the gov ernment has chance to do other work by suspending his government work, he takes the risk and does it, and then congress in its great mercy forgives him the penalty! And so the government gets cheated through the action of it's own representatives and agents-Bridgeport Standard.
 Why should anybody want to be president of the United States for the next four years? Nobody knows bet ter than President Wilson the inn mense labor, the ceaseless anxiety and the grave responsibility the posi- tion will impose upon the man who is chosen to occupy it the coming term. Notwithstanding the emoluments and high honors of the office, no pos sible candidate can face the problems now impending without hesitating before reaching a decision. A high sense of duty is more likely to be the impelIing force than a desire for of fee. This would be especially true of

BLACK HAND THREATS
 CAUSE WITHDRAWAL OF JUDGE
From Trial of Men Charged With De- stroying Postoffice at East Younes- town, O.

Cleveland, O., Feb. 24.-Black Hand threats caused Judge John H. Clarke. presiding in the United States district court here. to withdraw from the trial cases of four men charged with de- stroying the postoffice at East Youngs- town during the recent strike riots there. The cases were all ready to be heard when Judge Clarke announced their postponement until Monday, when Judge John B. Killits of Toledo will come here for the trial.
 The threat was in the form of a let ter sent to the owners of the Youngs- town Vindicator at Youngstown, in which Judge Clarke is a large stock holder. The life of President J. 4. Campbell of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube company, which was involved in the strike, is also threatened in the let ter, and destruction of the newspapers property is hinted at. Federal authori- ties are trying to find out who wrote the letter. The men who were to have been placed on trial are Milan Gala senc, Jacob Petrac, Jack Caddy and Nick Miklosh-

AN EASY WAY TO END
 CATARRH FOREVER
Simple Home Treatment Destroys Germs of This Dangerous Disease.

Germs of This Dangerous Disease.
 The air is always full of catarrh germs thrown off by one person and absorbed by another. and when your system fails to throw off such germs they find permanent Judgement in the nose, throat and head and multiply rapidly. You must kill these germs be- fore you can cure catarrh.
 The germs of catarrh can be best destroyed by inhaling the pure medi- cated air of Hyomei (pronounced High; o-me). This splendid and powerful combination of oil of Eucalyptus with other healing agents has a wonderful germicidal action. You breathe its air into your nose, throat and lungs by means of a small hard rubber inhaler which Lee & Osgood and other leading druggists here in Norwich and vicinity supply with every treatment. This medicated air is certain death to the germs of catarrh and drives them com pletely out of your system. and when the germs are destroyed the catarrh with all it's disagreeable symptoms will stop. As Hyomei Is pleasant to breathe and is always sold by druggists every where with a positive guarantee of successful results or money back, sures ly no catarrhal sufferer should go long before trying this simple home remedy.

Prof. Karl P.

That is a queer technical mixup by which the fireman, for the time being at least, are deprived of their pension money which is supposed to accrue from the liquor license receipts The money that is due the fund is five per cent. of the license fees and an amend ment to the charter provides for it as it does to the police pension fund. The county commissioners declare that there is no authority for them to turn the money over to the flremen, and consequently they cannot do it. The selectman declares that there Is no law which tells the town of Meriden to do this. The law is all right as far as it goes, but to have been technically correct it should have been so word ed that the county commissioners were ordered to pay over the money.-Mer- iden Journal.

A local attorney. appearing in the city court as counsel for a teamster accused of having cruelty maltreated a horse, is quoted as having made the declaration that Bridgeport people are being worked to the limit of their endurance, and I do not SC any reason why horses should be exempt from punishment if they refuse to do their duty" This is the argument of the slave driver. It has no place in a civilized world. It is abhorent to a humane world that frowns upon the practice of maltreating dumb animals that have no protection or recourse. People in Bridgeport are not being worked to the limit of their endur- ance. They might be if the slave -driv CTS philosophy was the ruling one. People of Bridgeport are busy-but happily busy; they are all working. but they are working for the most part shorter hours than ever before. But if they were really working to the limit of their endurance, it would be no excuse for the f1ogging of horses practice extremely cruel and stupid.

The honor of having established the hrSt creditable course of study for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy is due to Yale says the Carnegie foundation for the advancement of teaching in a report on the evolution of the Ameri- can type of university, which was quoted by Professor H. w. Farnam, speaking at Alumni University day, on the Development of Graduate Instruc- Htion at Yale. Instruction for gradu- ate students was first instituted at Yale seventy years ago upon the as cessfon to the presidency of pr. Theo
 dore Dwight Woolsey, and courses were given the following year. No attempt was made at formal organiza- tion still less at the creation of a dis tlnct department at that time. It was only by the slow process of growth that the various courses which were offered gradually crystallsaed into a school with its own organization and head. The connection between the graduate department and the depart ment of science was particularly close at Yale and the two developed out of what was first known as the depart ment of Philosophy and the Arts. In the admission of women as in the field of graduate instruction, Yale is one of the pioneers. When it was voted in 1892 to open the degree of Ph. D. to them, very few universities which were not frankly coeducational gave them this privilege. In 1892 the body of the department had developed suf
 ficiently to deserve a head, and Pro- lessor A. T. Hadley, now president of the university, was appointed as it's first dean. The teaching force of the graduate department was in the be- ginning entirely made up of men who drew their salaries from one of the undergraduate departments, and who volunteered for this additional service. It could not be otherwise as long as no funds were available to pay pro
 fessors for graduate instruction. There are at present 12 men ranked as grad uate school professors only, in addi- tion to the dean. The total teaching force includes at present S5 profes- sors and 66 assistant professors.

The university dramatic association

The university dramatic association announced on Monday evening that it will give Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida on the campus next June as its annual commencement perform ance. The choice has already met with undivided approval of the fac ulty, and it is especially appropriate at a time when the tercentenary of Shakespeares death is being observed In selecting this play. the association has adhered to its ideal of giving per formances of lasting value, in that Troilus and Cressida has not been acted in English since originally put on the Elizabethan stage. Under the direction of E. M Woolley, Yale 1911 the comedy will be the same as if it were literally its first appearance on any stage. In definitely deciding upon a play at this early date, the officers of the dramatic association inaugu- rate a new policy of choosing plays well in advance of the final perform ance. It is thus hoped to do away with many of the inconvenience caused by crowding all of the prelim mary work of a production into the four or five weeks before it is given in public.

The first definite steps in the organ ization of the Yale Aviation Corps were taken at a well attended meet ing for that purpose held at the battal- ion headquarters in Edwards Hall last Wednesday evening. Blue prints of the dirigible to be furnished by the Connecticut Aircraft Company were studied as well as the charts of the car and engine. Lieutenant Slocum, of the Yale Battery, who has been de- tailed to the supervision of the or ganization, outlined the work that is to be done. The corps will be com posed of twenty men from the battal- ion and twenty men who are not en- listed members of the battery. The selection of competent men will be made by Major Danford. The dirig- ible will be set up in the state armory at Hartford, where from February 22 to March 4, there will be practical in struction in the essentials of aircraft management. Later in the year, the study of the kite balloon will be taken up in New Haven. From this machine observations are taken and are re- ported by telephone to the men who are directing the fire below. Before the summer vacation several ascen- sions will probably be made in New Haven. A telegram which had been received from Washington was read to the members of the corps. This stated that the government was keenly in terested in the aviation corps in con- nection with the Yale batteries, and would send representatives to inspect their work at Hartford.
