tive buying in which some of the largest
houses took leading part sent prices
rapidly upward almost as soon as trading
began. Liverpool reports of a scarcity of
offerings and of poor grading OF Canadian
arrivals tended further to lift the market
here. The opening, which ranged from "a
off to SAC advance with September at
81. 43% to S1.46 and December at $1.464 to
S1.4712, was followed by substantial addi-
honal gains.
Later a decided reaction took place owing
to largely nervousness on, the part of many
traders that some hitch in congress would
prevent the settlement of the strike. The
king of Greece had abdicated and that

WAR HITS The CHURCH
Articles Used in Celebration of Mass
Advance $50 Per Cent.

Father McInerny of the Church of
the Assumption announced today that
the bill of the local church for sane
tuary oil, incense, vestments and can
dies amounted to more than $1,000
for the past twelve months. This is
a $50 per cent increase over the ex-
pense for these items during the pre-
ceding twelve months
Sanctuary oil, which comes almost
exclusively from Germany, is one of
the biggest items, more than eighty
gallons a year being used. The price
is now $2.35 q gallon, compared with
s1OO a gallon in 1914. vestments of
the finer sort, which have all to be
imported, have increased in cost about
200 per cent, adding several hundred
dollars more. Increases in the price
of candies and incense bring the total
to more than $1,000.

HUNTING EXPEDITION.

Capt E. M. French and two or three others of our city sports, set out yesterday on an hunting expedition. Pursuing the even terror of their ways" they found themselves at a sea- sonable hour in the woods of Trum- bull and Huntington, where they bagged some IS or 25 gray squirrels, a number of quails and rabbit. They then concluded to "beat retreat" 1" and fell back to the house of Isaac c. Booth, in the aforesaid town of Trumbull, where a splendid supper was provided for them, with every va riety of trimmings" and ct ceteras, followed up in the evening with music, dancing, story telling, speechifying. Judging from their account of the af- fair, they must have had a glorious good time, and if this is the manner in which MT. Hinnan ,entertains Bridgeport visitors, we should not be surprised if he had a few more calls before the close of the season.

Miss Mabel T. BOardman of Washington, D. C., Says Patriotism Takes Three Forms.

New York, Nov. 9.-After definine patriotism as having developed from the love of the soil to the love of fellow men, and militarism as hav- ing changed from aggression to pro lection, Miss Mabel T. Boardman o1 Washington, D. C., widely known for her activities as a member of the executive board of the American Red Cross, told a large audience at the meeting of the Motherhood club al Center church house, Monday aft ernoon, of the wonderful work o1 preparedness that had been accom- plished by the Red Cross in this coun- try in less than a year.
 Patriotism is of three forms, , said Miss Boardmah. Love of country, love of it's people and love of it's ideals, expressed by what a country fights for and against. do not believe the people of this country stand for either extreme of pacifism or militarism.'
 What is soldier?" continued Miss Boardman. "At first soldiers were mercenary. There were mer- cenary soldiers at the time of our own Revolution But we have done away with them now and many of the greatest men in our history have been soldiers"
 Miss Boardman then told of the soldiers with whom the Red Cross work had made her acquainted and the splendid work they were doing for peaceful ends. The work of education in the Philippines, the de- velopment of civic, philapthropic in- stitutions in Cuba, the relief of the people stricken in the San Francisco earthquake, at Messina, and in the Ohio and Mississippi floods, were among the instances she cited of constructive work done by army and navy officers, often in cooperation with the Red Cross relief work.
 And at the time of the occupa- ton of Vera Cruz added Miss Boardman, when a few American sailors were killed but hundreds of Mexicans were injured word came from Admiral Fletcher to the Red Cross asking for aid, not for our own people. It was not serious enough to need relief for our own men. But for the poor Mexicans hundreds of whom were endanger- ed"
 Samoa and Hayti were other places from which appeals had come from United States military men to the Red Cross for food and clothing supplies, Miss Boardman said, show ing that the idea of modern Ameri- can soldiers was not to take life, un- less absolutely necessary, but to save lives.
 Miss Boardman then reminded her audience of the time of Florence Nightingale and the lack of trained women then able to care for a na- tion's wounded soldiers.
 "In our own Civil war;" she con- tinued." the medical force of the army was inadequate to meet the needs, as it always will be-"
 This, she explained, was because the army's medical force must con- centrate on first aid work on the firing line, and leave later work to others. She described the organiza- ton of the soldiers aid stations by

LATE FROM ST. HELENA.

Captain Sargent, who has arrived at Boston from Calcutta, was brought to off St. Helena by his Brittan1c Maestys brig Leverett and supplied with water but was not permitted to land. The boarding officer informed him that Bonaparte was in good health and was occupying his time principally in writing a history of his own life. Captain Sargent gives the following account of Bonaparte:
 "He was permitted a circumfer- enuce of three miles to walk or ride in at pleasure; beyond this he could not go except attended; but he has never seen fit to extend his limits, around which are guard within speaking distance of each other and around his dwelling are constantly 10 sentries. For fear Bony should swim to Ascention, seven days sail distant, the British have a sloop of war >es- tablishment on that island"
