Passport Denied to Theodore Mar

WASHINGTON. Nov. S,-Americans
who have taken an oath of allegiance
to Great Britain or any of the other
warning nations of Europe are no
longer citizens of the United States and
are not entitled to receive passports
from the state department or entitled
to the protection of the government,
This ruling became known today
when ihe TACT was disclosed that the
state department had refused to issue
a passport to Theodore Marburg jr.
of Baltimore, a member of the Britt
ish Royal Flying Corps. Young Mar
burg's father was formerly United
States Minister to BELGIUM.
The department has adopted a rig
i'd rule on this point. Not only will
no passports be issued to Americans
who have joined the fighting forces
of any %belligerent and returned here
for rest n any other purpose, but no
American who wishes to go abroad
for the purpose of joining a belliger-
ent army can get a passport.
Young Marburg plans to sail from
New York Saturday with his bride ON
a Dutch steamer. relying on his pa
pers as a British officer TO get him
safely into England.
At the state department today il
was said that the French government
has been asked to discontinue re-
ferring to American aviators in the
French army as members of the
American Aviation Corps because of
the false light in which such refer
ences places the United States as a
neutral nation.

THE MAN WHO SAYS Eyes"

IN HYSICIANS are puzzled
IS5 over the case Of a man in
the observation ward
who can say only one word
Eyes" That is his answer to
everything.
Ordinarily the case of a man
who says only "yes" is simple
that is the cause rather than
the effect of his malady.
YES" if persisted in is little
short of fatal.
To "get by" in this difficult
maze of life a man must be
able occasionally to say "nO''
to doctors, importunate rela-
.tives, bill collectors. employees,
insurance agents, cornwall
friends, and generally to peo-
.plo who offer something for
n thing. mo" is the principal
defensive weapon Of speech
and is often the expression of
the first law of nature.
Eyes" is imperatiyely neces-
sary only in the marriage ser
vice and when confronted by
highwaymen, instances where
resistance is impossible or fu-
tile. 1t is the expression of a
bland disposition, but it is the
key to the poorhouse, it locks
the cell door behind the con-
Wet, seals the drunkard's doom
and sears the soul with more
lies than any other word. On
the other hand, it is the magic
word that often opens the door
to happiness, and is the one
successful answer to the knock
of opportunity. In fine, it
should be used discriminating
ly and alternated frequently
by a good, strong "No."-St.

Early In the afternoon Ward had

he glimpsed the menacing fist that he
had shaken in rage toward him. Two
hours later he had laughed again to seq
that the man held his watch station.
Now, as the electric lights threw into

committee on education of which he was chairman. He was secretary of the National Teachers association in 1864 ana was president of the Con- necticut State Teachers association for number of years. He always took an active interest in educational work and was always ready and will, ing to give advice and his opinion was often sought.
 Professor Camp also was conspicu- ous in the religious life of the city and was the oldest member of the South Congregational church, where he was a deacon. At various times he also occupied the pulpit to address his fel- low parishiOnerS. In 1882 he Was made auditor of the Missionary Society of Connecticut and held that position for many years. In 1883 he became the auditor of the National Council of Congregational churches and also re- nained in this office for a long period. For ten years he was state president of the Connecticut State Temperance union and was member of the Amer ican Missionary association, the Amer iCan Board of Foreign Missions, the American Bible society, the Connec- ticut Congregational club and the Con- necticut Historical society.
 Published Several Books.
 Deacon Camp was also well known in the literary world as a writer ana was an authority on any subject to which he put his pen and signature: Probably the best known works or which he was author are the Amer iCan Year Book" and "The History of New Britain.' In adldt1on ne also wrote and published a number of school text books and maps.
 During the lifetime Of the late Cornelius B. Erwin MT. Camp was one of his most valued and trusted friends and when he died and left an

endowment for the Erwin Home it
 was in MT. Camps care that he left
 the construction and maintenance HL this home. For many years MT.
 Camp was president of this home and
 how well he administered the office is
 evident from the excellent condition
 of the institution. As the head of
 the New Britain Institute and Public
 Library of New Britain his work has
 ever been of an inestimable value for
 it was a work the results of which
 vii always be permanent and abiding.
 In his work for the New Britain h.
 stitute alone, his labor and services
 can not be computed. During all
 the years of it's adversity when it was
 struggling for a bare existence, Pro-
 lessor Camp was ever behind it loy- ally giving his support in every way.
 He was one of the institute incor-
 porators in 1858 and since that time
 was chairman of it's library commit tee. In 1867 he was made president of the Y. M. c. A. and served there for many years.
 Thus it was always with Professor Camp. Whatever he did he did free ly and he was ever willing to lend his power to anything for the good of his city or the advancement of his neighbOrs. Despite the various years of his life that were troubled by ill health, he was always what might be called hardy man. In his younger days he was an ardent pedestrian and in talking of these bygone days he would take great pleasure in re- marking that in his prime he never felt in the least non plussed when at Hartford he missed train for New Britain. He also would recall when in conversation the fact that at ono period in his life he was called unon to deliver 200 lectures of an educa-

old time friend and former associate. Henry Barnard of Hartford was pres- ident. Professor Camp spent a year in this position and when Dr. Barnard became commissioner of the National Bureau of Education he accepted an appointment under him, serving for one year.
 Serves City as Mayor.
 On the death of his father in 1868 Professor Camp returned to Connccti- cut and shortly afterwards established in this city the Camp seminary. In 1880, at the age of 60 years, he gave up teaching.
 Professor Camp did not retire from an active career, however, and for many years was connected with the city's foremost business institutions He served the city both in the con- mon council as councilman and alder man and as mayor, the latter office from 1877 to 1879. He also served a term as representative in the legisla- ture.
 In the manufacturing world Profess sor Camp was a leader. He was one
 of the founders and was president of the Skinner Chuck company until last year when, owing to his advanced years he resigned. He was also pres ident of the Adkins Printing company. He was associated prominently with the financial interests of the city and in 1874 he was chosen a director of the New Britain National bank and with the exception of William H. Hart, who was elected in 1866, MT. Camp was the oldest in length of service, and it is of record that his attendanct at board meetings stood far above that of any other member, past or present. l The same year that he was named as a director of the bank he was also ap- | pointed as chairman of the auditing 1 committee and served continuously in | that position. For a quarter of a, cen- | tury he served as vice president of l the bank without compensation. IT. 1 191O on the occasion of his ninetieth l birthday, the New Britain National l bank took official cognizance of the event when Prfessor Camp attended a board meeting and President Andrew j. Slopcr presented gold watch to l him. At that meeting the bank also adoDted @ special minute to com1neln- crate the occasion and testify to the 1 great esteem in which 1t held Mr.. 1 Camp.
 Educational and Religious. Tn the educational and intellectual | life of the city, Professor Camp vas l perhaps more widely known for his
 achievements than any man occupying,
 a similar position in this state or in
 fact in New England. He served in
 the general assembly from, this town
 in 1879 and during his stay at the ; capital was an active member of the

David Nelson Camp was native of the town of Durham, this state, where he was born October 8, 1920 He was the seventh in line from Nicholas Camp of Naseby, England, whose son, Samuel, was one of the original set tiers of Milford. His mother was a di- rect descendant of Theophilus Eaton, first governor of Connecticut. A long sickness in his youth prevented MT. Camp from entering college, but he studied With private tutors and recelv- ed degree of A. M. from Yale In 1853.
 For years he ranked foremost in the state as an educator and teacher. He was first employed in the schools of Guilford, Branford and upper Middle town, now known as Cromwell. From 184S to 1850 he taught in the Meriden academy, but on the opening of the State Normal school in this city tn 1850 he was appointed professor of mathematics, natural and moral phil osophy and geography. Five years la ter or in 1855, he was made assistant principal of the school with the pro- fessorship of English literature and mental philosophy. In January, 1857, he was appointed principal of the school and state superintendent of schools of Connecticut and held these positions for eight years.
 Owing to ill health accustomed by a too close application to his work, he resigned these offices and went to Europe. While abroad he received the of a professorship in St. Johns college, Annapolis, of which his
