More Art Treasures
 Coming To America

Berlin, June 3.-The war probably will lead to the further transfer of Eu- ropes art treasures to the United States, in the opinion of Prof. Wilhelm von Bode, general director of the Royal Museums at Berlin. Prof. von Bode gives several masons; that the war is making a great increase in the wealth of many Americans; and that the breaking up of several of the great private collections in America, includ- ing that of the late J. P. Morgan, and the acquisition of many of their choi- cest pictures by public art museums, will tend strongly to develop the de- mand for good art works. Prof. Bode declares that in this way the public collections of New York, Boston, Washington, and Chicago, together with dozens of cities not yet identified with art in an international sense, will become fully equal to those of Euro pean cities.
 This fresh demand for art works in the United States, Prof. Bode says, will strike Europe at a time when peo- pie on this side will be forced to sell in order to get money to pay their debts. Many fine old pictures now owned by private collectors in Europe, and par ticularly in England, will in this way find their way across the Atlantic, he thinks.

Chicago Has To
 Have Two Parades To
 Care for the Marchers

Chicago, June 3-So great was the enthusiasm with which Chicago rose to the spirit of the preparedness dem onstration that two parades were nec- essary, one in the day and one at night.
 More than 15O,00O men and women took part in the parade to-day, having pledged themselves to do so, rain or rained they would wear their old clothes and would not let their enthu- siasms be quenched by fear of a drenching.
 The men and women that took part in the day parade came from nearly all trades and professions. The mid dIe-aged and the gray-headed walked brisk1y along with strapping young sters, all inspired by the general en- thusiasnn, the crashing sound of drum and horn and the waving of thousands of flags.
 Safety First played an important part in the arrangements for the pa rade. A large ambulance corps, in charge of Red Cross officials and nurs- es{ was divided into groups and sta toned approximately along each 1,- 900 feet of the line of march. The city health department and the ambu- lance staffs of many hospitals co-ope- rated in supplying the ambulance corps.

STORE 30 YEARS
 IN WEST END TO CLOSE ITS DOORS
Vincent. Bros. Grocery, First Cash Emporium, Will Be
 Discontinued.

Within a few weeks Vincent Bros.' retail grocery and meat business, con- ducted in the West End for 30 years will be closed out and August 1 the store at 1870 State street, will be oc- cupied by a clothing firm. The clos ing of this store will mark the passing of a business landmark of the city as well of the West End. The business was established in 1886 by the late Samuel E. Vincent. It was the first large grocery store in the West End and the first cash store there. It was also the first store in which both groceries and meats were retailed. The first location was across the street from the present building which is part of the S. B. Vincent estate.
 Eventually the firm established a chain of similar stores about the city and then ibranched into the coal busi- ness and later into wholesale grain and feed business. The retail stores were then gradually abandoned but as a matter of sentiment, MT. Vincent retained the West End store where he began business. Allen Vincent, ex- ecutor of the estate of his brother, Samuel B. Vincent, said today that tn e firm no longer had need for the store and he had so many applications for it that he decided to close out the business and rent the store. It is understood the clothing firm will take long term lease. There are resi- dents of the West End who have been customers of this firm for years and who will scarcely know where to trade when the store is closed. It was because of these customers that the elder member of the firm insisted on keeping the store open.

Ferris, of Stamford; executive com m1ttee, John McElroy, R. B. Lawton, A. w. Avery, A. J. Cable and S. c. Patterson. A c1ambake was a part of the meeting and followed the election.
 The club now owns or has leases of several thousands acres of land be- tween Beardsley park and Nichols and bounded on the east by the Stratford ridge. In this territory there are three large ponds for fish, fed by never failing streams. Along those streams are four large pools stocked with 3O,- 900 small trout, and when they are big enough to take care of themselves they will be turned into the ponds. UpsOn lake will be stocked with pike. The territory is alive with game birds, woodcock, partridge and quail and a contract has been made to stock the land with English pheasants.
 This hunting club is the largest in Connecticut. The club house will be built on the site overlooking Beach's s pond. Andrew Peterson is the jani- tor and he with E. Thompson, with two special officers, will protect the territory from poachers.
 (Those were the ha1cyon days on the grounds of the defunct Nassau Fish and Game club. The club is no more. No more will the crack of the hunters rifle ring through the woods north of the poorhouse.- No more will the patient fisherman dip his rod into the placid streams that empty into what was once Stillman's pond. The territory is now the property of the Remington-U. M. c. corporation. Here are stocked tons of explosives and the hunter. is kept off the property by means of a six-foot iron fence that surrounds the territory for miles. It is said that inside the iron fence there are enough wild animals, espec- tally deer, to fill menagerie.-Eds.) )

TRAIN EMPL0YES. LIFE
 FULL OF PERIL

A statement issued to-day by the Railroad Transportation Brotherhoods, shows that freight train employees have one of the most hazardous of all occupations.
 The last annual report of the In terstate Comerce Commission shows that a train man is killed on an av- craze of every hours and forty min utes, and a man crippled every 3 min utes and 30 seconds. And this does not tell all the story, because if a man does not die from his injuries within A hours, he is not reported to the Commission as killed and unless the injury disab1eS him for three days he is not counted as injured.
 Of every 100 men who start work as firemen, only IT ever become engin- eers, out of every 100 men who do be- come engineers, only become passen- ger engineers.
 The average length of service is elev- en and a half years.
 Train service employees are picked men in every sense of the word.
 Few realize the rigid physical ex- animation they are required to pass and which is more severe than the United States government requires for enlistment in the army or navy. Physical examinations are repeated every two or three years. Eyesight, hearing, color perception, heart action and blood pressure are all scrutinized closely.
 Although the U. S. Government pro- hibits by law the continuous employ ment of a train emp1oye more than 16 hours, it is worthy of note that in 1915 there were 78,940 violations re- ported by the railroads themselves. i Under the rates of pay now received by the men, they must work from 1 2 | to 20 hours in order to earn enough to be on a par with the wage earners in other trades.
 What a man receives per hour is the only proper basis for discussing wa ges. The following table shows the prevailing wages received per hour by freight crews as compared to other trades.
 Locomotive engineers, .48k ( Bricklayers, plasterers, etc., ..75c Locomotive f1remen ......... Sic Carpenters, painters, etc.. roc Freight conductors .4Oc Laborers in tunnels, wells, etc 57 F ( Freight brakemen ..........2 .26. 7c l Are these high wages when you con-
 sider the responsibility and skill re
 quired of freight train men? | Excessive hours and the terrific
 strain shatters the health and short
 ems the lives of these men. l The employees are not asking fo1
 more pay, only that their working hours be made less.
 | They desire relief from the present
 arduous working conditions so thai their time at home will be heightened 1 and their chance of relaxation improv-
 ed.

AN EXTRACT.
On The Instability of National Ana
 EOrfune.


 '"The recent fall of Napoleon ana the humiliation of France, presents a picture equally interesting to the nor laiist the philosopher and the po1l1clant II Tt teacher us another lesson or the Instability of national as well as lhu1- viduaI fortune-Who can persue tno page of antiquity and contemplate the Ifan of empires and the ruin of splen- Edid cities without feeling his senses larrested?
 Does not every nouldering column, every venerable pile of ruins, and the melancholy reflection of the many thousands that sleep below, who once i enlivened the arts, or graced the tr1- unphant car, teach an instructive les son of the weakness, the vanity ana i the instability of every thing human Does it not imprint upon the tablets l of our hearts, what shadows we are and what shadows we pursue
 Jerusalem. once the prodigy of an tadrniring world, is laid desolate ana the splendid temple of the son or Da- vid is rnouldering into dust, Babylon with her towering walls, and her hans- { ing gardens, is laid prostrate, ana hef site has become the den of serpents, ana the habitation of the screaming owl. Thebes and Palmyria with all their grandeur have crumbled lnto Sdust. and Troy once so admired, has tbeen sacked and desolated by her 1fn- iplacable enemies
 Neither the silver hairs of the aged, the passionate entreatfes of distressed I beauty or alIuring softness of infan- tile innocence, could save her 1nhabl- tants from the devouring sword. The l fame of Troy, the land of Priarn, lives only in song. Athens, once the seat 1 of science, of civilization and art, and ! nations have trembled, have fallen in ] their turn-the cities of the immor- i tai Solon and the invincible Lycurgus have yielded to their foes
 Carthage, that once contended for 7. the empire of the world, and vaunted ] in her grandeur, has long singe been buried beneath her own ruins-The city of Queen Dido, is no more, moth I ing but the solitary arch, a few ruin : ed vestiges, remains to speak her an i cient grandeur Rome, at whose name once all Europe trembled, and to whose sceptre western Asia and north : ern Africa were compelled to bow, was compelled in her turn to yield to i northern barbarians- Where now is her ancient grandeur; her splendid temples, her magnificent palaces, her majestic monuments, her skillful ar
 tists, her profound scholars her elo- l ouent orators, her invincib1e warriors,
 and her wide extended dorninions! ; Where is the ancient glory of her
 name?.
 Alas! all are vanished like the vision 1 of a dream, and modern nations wake l. to see her degraded to dust! Such were the revolutions of former ages.
 No wonder then, that in modern times, France powerful as she was, should be I humb1edHno wonder Napoleon, at : whose voice Europe but lately strem- bled, should be banished to St Helena,
 as a splendid witness of the instabil- ity of fortune and the uncertainty of human greatness.
