James AnseIopas, Followed By State Police, Falls to Heed Trolley Con- duotor's Signal to Stop.

James Angelopa.s, drrver of the Will limant1c Hartford jitney, was before the local police court Saturday morn ing charged with operating a motor vehicle in reckless manner. Auge- lopas has been under suspicion for some time and Friday afternoon two state officers followed him in an au- tomobile as he left, on his return trip to Hartford. They said in court on Saturday morning that Angelopas drove past intersecting streets at a rate of thirty miles an hour without near the entrance to the Willimantic cemetery. a short distance from the place where Harry Sizyler, a former Hartford jitney driver, crashed into a trolley killing one of his passeng- CTS. The trolley car from South Gov entry due here at 4.15 had stopped to let woman passenger get on. The running board was let down at the left, the side on which the automobile driven by Angelopas was approaching The conductor of the trolley car says that he signalIed the automobile to stop but that it was going at such a speed that it couldn't be stopped until it had passed he trolley. Officers Jackson and Downing corrobated the conductors story.
 Angelopas pleaded not guilty to the charge of reckless driving. He said that he was 21 but had driven a car for six years.

He was fined $25 and costs amounting to S3d, which he paid.

The first years in the north were spent in whaling on rickety vessels, their cruises taking them to Siberia, China, Japan and the Hawaiin Is lands. Later they herded cattle, and finally with team of dogs set out for the interior of Alaska.
 "The men are kucwn as the most daring explorers ia the Arctic re- gicn. They are the discovers of Midnight creek, now the richest gold district in the l<londike. They founded Ruby Ci-y, situated along Midnight Creek, which is now a eenterins point for the miners"

Could Eat ss We'll ss Write.

Dr. Johnson was a great tea drinker It is stated that he would drink thirty or forty cups of tea during an evening! Yet he lived to a fair age and appar- ently suffered no very III effects from bis great thirst for tea. Be was one of the most notable of feeders and ate his food in what we should now think rather a pigglsh fashion, making great grunts and groans of satisfaction or enjoyment the while and going the round Of the menu very thoroughly.
 Charles Reade, the famous novelist, s reported to have been one of the strsngest feeders on record. A contem- porary, writing of his meals at the Gar rick club, says: He took a caun. flower, danked by a jug of cream, as his first course, and a great salad to follow, washed down by curious drinks of the shandyEaG order He would drink coffee associated with sweets, black pudding and toasted cheese, to the amazeInent of any oulooker."

MAKING INTERNATIONAL LAW

r international law consists of precedents, did the precedents not result from war and cannot the present war make new precedents and hence new international law? This is substantially the argument of the London spectator in favor of a tighter blockade of Germany. The Spectator puts the matter some what plausibIy thus:
 international law would never have come into existence if some body had not created precedeuts. In tho past every single war has en- dowed the world with new prece- dent which has since been appealed to as having the force of law. It is unnecessary, therefore, to make excuses for any new departure, within reason, that may be taken oy our navy"
 Germany may well ask whether by that very argument her subma- rlue campaign methods are not jusufabIe.
 There are elements Of truth in the argument, and cDe of the rea- sons neutral countries should in siss uron compliance with interua- tionaI jaw, as recognized before the war began, is that quiet assent to violations may mean the establish ment of new precedents and hence uew international law.
 It is the duty Of neutral nations to hold international law as far as possible on the side Of peace and not to permit it to develop in the interest of war.
 When there are so many strong nations, as at the present time, en- gagged in war the danger of oyer throwing old international law is great because there are few strong  neutraIs to uphold it.
 From the attitude of the London Spectator it may le inferred that numerous Britons gre in favor of new departures to gain victory Pre- sumably that is also the idea that has obtained in Germany.
 One can see how nations fighting for existence, or believing that they fight for existence, would oppose old international rules if they stood in their way. But one can understand their attitude without assenting to it.
 When nations are fighting mad, 1t is ibe duty of those not engaged
