Maving picture fans who have been
following the progress of the stars
of silent drama during the past five
years have a warm place in their
hearts for Mary Fuller. They can re-
member when she was the most popu-
lar star on the screen. She is still
popular, though we hear less of her
nowadays.
The parts l have played in fllm-
dom have been. in the majority. hero
ines in heart Dramas girls of love
rather than of daring says Miss
Fuller. This may be because | am
tender-hearted and broad in my sym
pathies. Love in all its phases / have
been asked to intcrpret-a sweet
hearts tenderness. sisterly affection,
motheriy love. filial love, wifely devo-
ton. capricious passion of a hayward
girl. queens justice to her people,
waits sacrifice for her beau-ideal, phi
lanthropy or love of the world. etc.
Il have always loved my work, and
nv one aim and ambition in life has
! been to be the most popular star in the
moving picture ornament

estimated $55,0o0 will be saved an

Il was estimated that a saving of
SS3.000 annually was effected by re-
ducing the payroll at Kankakee state
hospital last week when about eighty
employees lost their Jobs. In addition
10 salaries the costs of maintenance
of the employees laid off is added to the
amount saved.
Fifty Cut at NatcrtoVH.

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-11-04

Former Alderman Daniel E. Walker was introduced as the alderman who has done things for his district in the way of procuring pavements, sewers and lights. He said he had no inten- ton of claiming credit for all the inn provements for the district but he said: ''I want to impress on you this fact that there were no improvements in this district except what were pro- cured by John N. Near, Frank delaney and myself and we were all Democrat ic aldermen. I want you to support our nominee, Joseph P. Onkey, bus mess man of the district and a clean upright young man who will represent you in the council in a manner that will be creditable to you"
 At the Third district rally Irving Bison, speaking to about 800 voters Of the district, said that Roosevelt had fire betrayed the Republican party and then had betrayed the Democratic party. He accused Mayor Wilson of giving away contracts amounting to S5GO,OOO without competitive bidding. "You will remember he said, 'that in 1912 E. J. Hill told you that if you voted for Wilson you could throw all your factories into the Sound. Yet since Wilson has been President, fac tories have sprung up all around the Sound and we cannot find men enough to work overtime"

GIRL FALLS FROM SKIES IN PEK|N
 AVIATION MEET
Daughter of Chinese States man Sustains Brain
 COncussiOn

Pekin, Nov. Miss Chiang, the daughter of General Chiang Tso-ping, a member of the Chinese General Staff, was dangerously injured in an aeroplane accident at the first public exhi bition of the army aviation corps recently held at Nanyuan near Pek- ing She made the flight with Pilot Yao, one of the best aeronauts in the Chinese army. Adverse air currents interfered with the manipulation of the machine, which dropped from a height of several hundred feet with in sight of thousands of spectators who attended the exhibition. The pilot wore a heavy safety helmet, and escaped with slight injuries, but Miss Chiang wore no helmet and sus- tained concussion of the brain.
 The aviation meet continued for two days, and attracted immense crowds from all over North China. Ten army aeroplanes participated Flights were made both in biplanes and monoplanes by Chinese aviators who showed great skill. Most of the Iaeroplanes used were built by the Chinese under the direction of French mechanics Tom Gun, an American born Chinese, who had gained consid-
 erable fame as an aeronaut, has been engaged as an instructor in the Chinese army aviation school.
 The Nanyuan aviation ground is To- cated about 10 miles from Peking. During the meet aeroplanes flew over the Chinese capital every morning and every afternoon, attracting much attention and causing not a little un- easiness among superstitious coolies who regarded them as evil omens.

THE GERMANS
 IN CHINA

One of the greatest blows to Ger manp ride is this war was the loss of Kiao-Chau, the Teuton stronghold in the Far East. It was just 19 years ago, on Nov 4, 1897, that Germany seized the port of Kiao-Chau e.s in- demnity for the murder by Chinese of two German missionaries. Just IT years and two days later, Nov. 6, 1914, Kiao-Chau surrendered to the onslaughts of the Japanese and Brit ish naval and land forces, after sus- taining a siege of 77 days.
 Germany had boasted that Kiao- Chau was impregnable to assault, and more than hundred million dollars had been expended by the Berlin gov ernment in attempting to make it so. The defending forces, consisting of 5000 troops under Capt. Meyer-Wal- deck of the German navy, offered a brave resistance, but the continuous bombardment by the Japanese guns crumbled their defences and made their position untenable.
 The recovery of Kiao-Chau is one of the things for which Germany will fight to the last. The kaiser hoped to make his Chinese stronghold the com mercial rival of Hong Kong. The downfall of the place marked the disappearance of the Teuton banner from the Pacific and the shattering of German dreams of commercial su- premacy in the Orient.
 Long before the murder of the two German missionaries, the engineers of the German government had sur veyed the Chinese coast, and had de- cided that the port of Kiao-Chau af- forded the best site for a naval and commercial base in the Far East. On the first of November, 1897, the two Teuton preachers of the Gospel were slain in Shantung province, and three daysl ater the Germans seized the town of Tsingtau, on the shores of Kiao-Chau bay. The Emperor imme- diately dispatched a naval expedition under his brother, Prince Henry, to hold the occupied territory. The kaiser, in an address, ordered his men to show no mercy to the Chinese if they offered any show of resistance. China was forced to enter into a treaty whereby Germany was given possession of 200 square miles of ter fritory about Kiao-Chau bay, with practical suzorainty over a vastly larger area, and the commercial dom ination of the 25,000,0OO inhabitants of the province of Shantung. Doubt less the kaiser considered that those two missionaries had been well spent!
