Wild Ducks Afraid
 of European Planes

Kiel, Germany. Nov. 13-Ornitholo- gists have discovered that the wild duck does. not like the aeroplane, ap- parently taking it for some huge bird of prey. From the North Sea coast of Schleswig-Holstein it IS reported that the great focks of ducks, which in previous years stopped for rest and food on the coastal sands and islands on their flight from the Far North to the South, have avoided that region this year. The explanation offered is that they were frightened away by the many aeroplanes that are con- stantly scouting along the coast.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
THE FOURTH OF JULY

The day which ushered us into exis- tence as an independent nation, says the Richmond Enquirer, once more comes round, and finds us as free, as happy, as honorable as ever. Forty years have passed away since the sun shone upon a race of freemen-4O years, since the glad tidings of Inde- pendence were announced. During this momentous era, the most event ful which the world has ever seen, we have seen Europe convulsed to the Cenker, but we have survived the ! tempests. A f1attering illusion once appeared in France, but is gone. The [ sun of liberty rose, but 1t set in blood. In America, it still shines with light as mild, but as intense as ever. No civil storms, no foreign convul- sions, have dimmed its ,lustre. Party spirit has ragged, foreign states have assailed our rights; but the precious spirit of liberty has survied. This day we live to repeat in accents of joy we are Free.'' Millions of freemen join in the shout. i,s
 Who will set bounds to the pros- perity to which our country is rapid ;; ly ascending? Her reputation is not confined to the negative praise of be- Ing free rom Staln, put HOW prlsht 1t is with glory. She not .only re- spects the rights of others, but causes others to respect her own. She has just emerged from a contest with one i of the most powerful, nations of the world; in which she has reaped inn mortal glory The best compliment that could be paid to her, is hers Her sons have proved themselves worthy of the sires of '76. The splen- dor of her arms and the thunder ot her navy have extended her name to the remotest corners of the earth. But this is not all-the same struggle which has given her glory, has given her confidence in herself and security to her institutions.

WASHINCT0N|ANS ID REWARD OLD

1 Washington, Nov. 13.-Recognition on for faithful servants and rewards for
 those with records of longest continu-
 ous service are occupying the atten- ton of Washingtonians, and the cam- | paign, which is being conducted by , the District of Columbia Federation

Among the entries are four servants of Mrs. John w. Foster, wife of the former Secre- tary of State, whose combined service record shows 94 years. All the en- tries are accompanied by glowing &C., counts of the good points of the ser wants.
 So enthusiastically has sthe plan been received that a number of cities are planning to make a similar effort to promote efficiency by pointing out good examples of industry and devo- ton in the homes of the country Club-women in several cities have written to members of the Washing ton Federation asking for information about the campaign here.
 There are two divisions in the con- test-one of those long in service, to whom the gold prizes will be award ed,a nd the other for those who have been more than five years in one place, and to whom certificates will be issued, signed by the Federation officers.

GARBAGE PLANT TROUBLES

Those in condition to state the condition of the Utilization Co.'S af- fairs are not anxious to talk. The story yesterday was that a petition had been made for receiver, and that Judge Carroll was in New York to take the matter up with the peo- pie who have furnished most of the money for the construction of the plant and it's running. Judge Carroll was seen this morning and said there was nothing to say about the matter at the present time.
 Allan w.. Paige, who probably knows more about the affairs of the company than any person in town, admitted to-day that receiver had been asked for. Further than this he positively refused to discuss the matter.

STATE SUFFRAGE
 ASSOCIATION TO
 CONVENE NOV. 16
Forty -Stventh Annual Meet ing Will Be Held at Hotel
 Taft in New Haven.
(O w. s. Al

Delegates from about eighty towns in the state will assemble next Thurs day in New Haven for the fOrty-seV- enth annual convention of the Con- necticut Woman Suffrage Association. The convention will meet in the Hotel Taft, where all the business sessions will be held. On, the evening of the first day-Thursday, Nov. 16-there will be g. public meeting in College Hall-opposite the Taft Hotel-at which Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt-will be the principal speaker. The sub- ject of Mrs. Catts address is the Crisis, and Mrs Catt will give req sons for the belief held by the Board of the National Woman Suffrage As sociation, that the country Is on the eve of the full enfranchisement of women.
 The business sessions begin on Thursday at 12 o'clock. After a short session there will be an adjournment for lunch, and the afternoon session will begin at 2:3O pm Many of the delegates will not be able to reach New Haven in time for the opening session but it is hoped that all will be in their seats by 2:30 promptly. At 6:30 there will be dinner at the Ho- tel Taft at which men from all the political parties will speak for woman suffrage. Mrs. M. Toscan Bennett will be toa stmistress.
 One of the most remarkable things about the suffrage movement at the present time is the number of new converts to a belief in votes for wom- en. Perhaps the most noteworthy of these, outside the limits of our own country are MT. Asquith the British Premier and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, ex- Premier of the Dominion of Canada. A few years ago MT. Asquith was the most bitter opponent of the English suffragists. He declared that it would be a misfortune for the British Elm pire if the women won the vote. It was his influence more than anything else that made the impasse against which the Suffragettes flung them selves in vain. After the execution of Miss Edith Cavell, a change began to come over MT. Asquiths mind. For the first time he began to see that patriotism was not male quality but that women possessed 1t in as full degree as men. He said somewhat regretfully, after acknowledging that there were in England thousands of women as patriotic as Miss Cavell land a year ago we did not know it.' Now he is convinced that when the English electoral laws are overhauled as they will have to be immediately after the war, the women must be in- cluded, and he Is ready to use his enormous power to bring about democratic measure of suffrage re- form.

The country store was one of the especial points of in terest and large sales were made. A fine program was rendered at the Music booth which was thronged all evening. A very pleasing feature about this booth is the costuming of the attendants, who are attired in dainty colors and wear shoulder straps bearing a musical staff and notes; on their heads are handsome caps bearing aigrettes formed of notes which fairly bristle with har- mony. The supper which is served at o'clock pronounced excellent and 1t is often difficult to obtain seats so great is the rush.
