WELLINGTON MAN WANTS
 TO HEAD. SENATE.
Col. William H. Hall Desires Office Pro Tem According to Letters to His Colleagues.


 Colonel William H. Hall, of will Nington. who w<2 represent the Thirty-Fifth district in the senate at the coming session of the general as- semb1y. has sent letters to his col leagues, notifying them of his desire to be chosen president pro tenn and soliciting their suffrage. The repub- lican majority will control the organi- zation of the senate. with which goes the appointment of n president pro tenn. The colonel was a visitor to the capitol last week and in the course of a conversation with his usual frank ness, said he was a candidate for the position and that he would esteem it a great honor to be elected. He appreciated the fact that if ap- and that, in his appointment of com mittees. he would be expected to give the control of the committees to the majority party of the senate.
 Colonel Hall returns to the sen- ate after an absence of IS years. fallen out of the legislative life of the state.. He has continued in the meantime his interest in Iegis- lative work as the representative of his town at a number of sessions. It has been intimated that Judge yho was president pro tenn at the last session n not care for another session in the presidency and that he would prefer the more active life of committee. If this intimation Is correct, there is the possibility that Senator Bartlett may deside to be the chairman of the Judiciary committee, which carries with it the leadership of the senate. If he does 1t would clear the field for the realiza- ton of the ambition of Colonel Hall But Senator Kiett of New Britain has been in the field for the leadership for some time and it may be doubted if he would yield his claim for the po- sftion to another.

By the MerciIesss
Waves
By DWIGHT NORWOOD

During the winter Of 1914, being in
England and desiring to see something
Of the pan-European war, I crossed
the channel to Flanders. But when
I got there was not permitted to go
to the scene Of conflict. Not caring to
return Immediately went to a hotel
on the seashore, intending to spend sew
eral days there.
The weather was cold, and the chan
mel, stretching out indefinitely toward
the northwest, was gloomy sight to
behold. One morning heard boom
ing out at sea, but had no knowledge
Of what it portended. During the day
there was always booming on the land
north and south Of me, and sometimes
1t came family from the east. These
sounds continually reminded me that l
was surrounded by, war and its conse.
Quent distress.
But it was the channel that most af-
fected me. l knew that out there
many a merchant crew was sailing In
danger of being sent to the bottom of
the cold, black waters. Many a sub
marine crew was dreading lest their
vessel become entangled in the enor-
nous wire nets laid by the British
trawlers to trap them.
One evening when there was a misty
moonlight I was tempted to go out and
walk on the beach. l was warmly
clothed and enjoyed the icy air that
blew against my cheeks. So enjoyable
was my jaunt to me that walked for
an hour toward the north, then was
about to turn and retrace my steps
when saw something denser than the
surrounding atmosphere a short dis
lance ahead of me.
stood watching it. A thin cloud
that had covered the moon passed from
it face, giving a slight increase of light
and revealed what seemed to me to be
knot Of men huddled together
had once seen a ship at sea about to
founder, and these shadowy beings re-
minded me Of its crew standing togeth-
er about mast, doubtless gaining some
slight comfort from one another while
waiting for the fatal plunge.
Curiosity led me to approach what l
saw, and I walked forward. But
somehow l got no nearer to them,
though they gradually became less In
distinct, for by keeping my eyes fixed
upon them they became individuals,
though confused with one another
Their relative position was that of men
discussing some momentous question.
Nevertheless I heard no sound, nor
could I discern any one Of them ad-
dressing the rest.
Then It seemed to me that they were
nh looking toward me- but this
