Keep a Good lookout Ahead.
(From The Aurora.)
Previous to the day upon which the
different treaties, by the combined
powers and France were signed at
Paris. a separate treaty was made by
England with Spain. ~
The government OF the United
States surely cannot be ignorant of
the facts. If not, their agents abroad
have been reniss in not furnishing
the necessary information.
To no potentate in Europe are the
United States more indebted than to
the Emperor of Russia. The mag
nanfrnity displayed by him through
out the arduous struggle in which he
has been engaged, has, in many in
stances. defeated the machinations of
the British cabinet-and has advance
ed a disposition to cultivate the most
friendly intercourse with the United
States. His ambassador has confirm
ed this assurance to our government
Let US embrace it7-and let Russia
and America thereafter be considered
as twin sisters. There is no possible
cause of jealousy or rivalship. Their
interests are the same, whether con-
sidered in commercial or political
point of view.
That the United States has serious
difficulties to expect cannot be doubt
ed UncontrovertibIe proofs of the
TACT Will IN a SnOIL ClIL1S, De
for publication. Our late ministers
at Client, have been apprised of
many, but since their departure from
that place, more has been developed.
Expectation of a long peace is di-
isionary-however devoutly to be de-
sired. On our part no disposition to
war has been manifested at any time
-and it is hoped that the spirit dis
played in 1776. and the naval and
military valor of 1913 and 1914, will
not be relaxed in 1916. through feeble
or temporary counseIs, into, the hui
initiating condition in which they
were in 1911 and 1912.
Conquest forms no part of Ameri-
can ambition-but surrender Of
rights will always be resisted by free
men.
Embrace the present moments
prepare for the u1timatratio. The time
is at hand=and that we may not be
so enfeebled as we were at the be-
ginning of the war Of 1872 it is
among the cares and obligations
which Congress hasfto fulfill to their
country.

sTRTKING WEATHER. CHANCES

STRIKING WEATHER CHANGES.
The calm that follows a storm is
@trikingly illustrated in the weather
conditions of yesterday and today.
Yesterdays was the most severe storm
Bridgeport has seen in a, number of
years. 1t was a nasty, dark, dreary
and rainy day, accompanied by a
strong wind and at times the rain was
accompanied by hail.
The rainfall was the seyerest in
years. Supt. A z. French, of the
Esaston reservoir, reports that 2.66 in
ches Of rain fell yesterday The total
rainfall for the month of January
was 1.55 inches. The comparison il
illustrates the severity of Yesterdays
storm
Again In striking contrast to the Sc
we're weather of yesterday is the re-
markedly clear condition of today.

SAW THE ELEPHANT.

Peter Small. employed in removing
garbage to the Utilization plant, fig
ured in a runaway accident in Rail-
road avenue this morning. He was
driving west in that thoroughfare,
when his horse became frightened at
seeing an elephant pushing a freight
car near the winter quarters. The
animal succeeded in freeing itself
from the harness and 1yanked the
driver from his seat. The horse was
captured near Hancock avenue and
the driver escaped unhurt.

SURPRISED THEIR FRIENDS.

Few of the <acquaiptances Of Miss
Lulu Doyle ana Charles Harding who
attended Co. KS reception Thursday
evening, and saw them participating
in the festivities had any idea that
they had just been quietly marrieo.
Such was the fact, however, for that
very evening tbay had been to the
parochia1 residence of st. Mary :
church and at 1880 were made man
and wife. The ceremony was per
formed by Father Sheehan. The
bride was attended by her sister, Miss
Julia Doyle and the best man was
Frank F1ubbell. Both are employed
at the U. NJ. c. factory but none of
their shopmates were wise to the de-
ception.
