imp 0RTANT PART
IN WAR PROGRAM

Hartford, Nov. 10.-The committee
on education of the Connecticut State
Council Of Defense has issued a re-
port which contains high praise of
the patriotic work being done
throughout the State by school chill
dren and teachers. The statement
says in part:
Children are taking an important

Joined canning classes. Instructors in
domestic science are training hun
dreds of GIRLS to can and to conserve
our food supply. Children are helping
to erect rolls of honor, are denying
themselves candy and sugar, have

of the teaching Of patriotism through
sacrifice.
The teachers of the State are alive
to their responsibilities and duties,
and much good work is being DONE"
The committee has sent to the head
Of each school in Connecticut a cir
cular letter urging upon all instruc-
tors the necessity of renewed atten-

ToDAYs ANNIVERSARIES

The founder of Islam, Mohammed,
or Mahomet, 1.-The Praised" was born
at Mecca, now the holy city of the
Moslem world, 1,345 years ago to-
day, according to the tradition which
gives Nov. 10, $40, as the date of his
birth. The Prophet who is Worship
ped by nearly 25o,00o.oo0 of the
worlds people was of, humble birth.
His father died before he was born,
and his mother while he was still
child, and Mohammed was reared by
his uncle and grandfather. He herd
ed sheep as boy, and was afterward
camel driver. At twenty-five he
married a wealthy widow, much his
senior, who gave him several chill
dren. Mohammed made commercial
tours through Arabia, Syria and Pal
estine. and. being. an earnest student
and of pious tendencies, became in
terssted in various religions. From
Judaism, Christianity, and other
faiths he derived the materials for
the new faith which he promulgated,
and which his followers spread over
Asia and Africa and part Of Europe.

KING VICTOR EMMANUEL iii,
A VERY POPULAR RULER

If greatness among kings is meas
ured by popularity, then King Victor
Emmanuel Ill, of Italy is one of the
greatest monarchs who ever lived.
Italians everywhere will celebrate to-
morrow the, forty eighth birthday of
that monarch. While he has given
the supreme command Of his army to
one better qualified by military train
ing to undertake the task, he has
spent most of his time at the front
since Italy entered the war, and, in
spite of the expostulations Of his Of
ficers, it is said that he persists in
exposing himself to many dangers.
Many thrilling stories Of narrow es-
capes, with Victor Emmanuel as the
hero, have come out of Italy, and
where there is SO much smoke, there
must some fire. Wherever he goes
the King is received with uproarious
applause, and his presence is an in
spiration to greater valor on the part
of the soldiers who are fighting for
the recovery of italia Irredenta.' AS
the result of the war Victor Emman-
uel has become the popular idol, and
the old prejudices against the house
Of Savoy have seemingly disappeared.
while socialists, republicans and even
certain anarchists, look upon the
king as the man of the hour. Victor
Emmanuel, because of his simplicity,
democracy and hatred of pomp and
ceremony, has always enjoyed the ia
vor Of the great masses Of the people,
but until the outbreak Of the present
war he had many enemies, even
among the aristocracy. While the
Italian king was given a thorough
military training, he has found his
chief, pleasures in the arts OF peace.
He has been called "the walking en-
cyclopedia," because Of his wide range
of knowledge, but numfsrnatics and
economics have been his specialties.
His intense devotion TO his Monteneg-
rim wife, and to his children, and his
love of, quiet and simple domesticity,
while alternating the nobility, have
further endeared him to the masses.

FRANCES WAR MAYORS

Being the mayor of a French town
in peace times was very much OF a
sinecure, besides being most orna-
mental. On state occasions you wore
a large tri-colored sash across your
chest. and showed yourself to an ap-
preciatfve populace. You made
speeches. and speeches were made
back at you, and after it was all over,
you returned to your residence with
nothing much to do until the next fes-
tive occasion. Now. however, 1t Is
vastly different, especially IN the
towns of northern France, and for
the past three years the mayors of
these municipalities have hardly had
days rest. It In not tho big Ques-
lions alone that they have to contend
with, but the hundreds Of minor ones
that arise every day and which, in
peace times, one never thought OF
bringing before Monsieur le Marie.
The mayors In the threatened cities
Of northern France are called upon to
regulate the conduct Of almost every
household. II disputes arise an to the
price or delivery Of eggs milk, but
ter, bread, the mayor is asked to set
tie them. II 1t is a question Of rent
or anything else concerning the house,
the mayor must decide. If a bonn
bardment ts threatened, the whole
town gathers about the mayor and
waits for his word. II he says: 'fIt is
nothing" then oil go about their bust
ness. II he looks worried, they all
look worried. And 30 on. Besides
this he has to regulate the restaurants
and cafes, and see to it that they sell
only what the government permits.
He must keep his eye on the sale and
consumption Of alcohol. Last, but by
no means least, he does all the marry
ing, which Is a job in itself. So you
can well imagine that it was a wor-
ried lot OF mayors who recently held
their fifth convention. The first of
these was called soon after France
was overrun by the German hordes,
and they have given the mayors an
opportunity to. talk over matters and
give each other helpful suggestions

BRASSARD'S WIFE

Bridgeport. Her home was in An
sonia. On November II, 1909, she
went to New Haven and was mar

1910. Brassard was of the sort who
wanted to drink and gamble. He
spent his money that way, and did
not provide for her, even though she
often asked him to, and finally he
told her If she didn't like the way
matters were, she could go her way
and he would go his. Then they
separated. In addition to the divorce

ANNIVERSARY OF MARINES.
OLDEST ORGANIZATION
IN q. 8. SERVICE

The United States Marine Corps, al
ways THE First to Fight" is the old
est of Uncle Sans fighting organixa-
lions. AS q matter of fact, the Marine
Corps Is really older than Uncle Sam,
for it WAS called into being by reso-
luton providing for two battalions of
marines and passed by the Continent
al Congress ON Nov. 10, 1878, some
months before the birth OF the repub-
lie. Today, therefore. is the 142nd
birthday of these Soldiers of the Sea.
Wherever there Is trouble. there are
the Marines. They were, as far as we
know, the first body Of American
fighting men to be sent to France. At
Vera Cruz and in Nicaragua, Haiti.
and the Philippines the Marine have
made history. In the Boxer rebel
lion I'm China, and in the Spanish
American war, they established a rec
ord for skill and daring which serve
as an Inspiration to the men who
now wear the uniform and insignia of
the corps.
The British marines have an equal
ly brilliant history, and they have
given an excellent account OF them
selves in the present war, but no 9th
er nation has attached SO much i'm
portance to the marines as the Uni
ted States. The sailor may snuff at
the sea soldier" but down in his
heart the tar knows that the marine
has It on him" when 1t comes to eff
cheney in fighting. Not that the ma
rfne Is necessarily any Drawer than
the sailor or soldier, but he has had
the advantage of much more thor
ough training, and SO, too, has the
officer who leads him. For the Off
Ger Of the United States Marine Corps
the full course at the Annapolis Naval
Academy, which is quite good enough
for future admiral, is only the be-
ginning. After that he must spend
two years in rigorous study and drill
at the Norfolk school for marine
corps officers. Only the fittest sur
vive that thorough course of training.
When he gets through the officer
knows a great deal of everything con-
neoted with the science Of war and
there is very little about either sea or
land warfare, infantry, cavalry or ar
tilleey, that he doesn't know. As for
cavalry-wel1. the "horse marines
have always been considered a joke,
but on more than one occasion the
marines Of both Uncle Sam and John
Bull have fought on horseback, and
what's more, fought well.

mands to be paid for this shortage in
their pay envelopes.
There can be little doubt the short
age of coal has been caused in part
at least by the furious allied attacks
on Lens, the great French coal cen
ter, but there is reason to believe, as
indicated by previous dispatches, that
even the German mines are not pro-
ducing up to capacity on account of
lack of able-bodied men.
The shortage of electric current
arises from the coal shortage, but it
means more than a mere lack of cur
rent to operate machines. Shortage
of electric current menances Germa-
ny's supplies of nitrates, the essential
bases of powder and every form of
explosive. Germany has no nitrate
deposits and is forced to rely upon
the fxation of atmospheric nitrogen
by electric current.
The vital meaning of this obscure
paragraph in German newspaper is
that the German war machine is
breaking down and no amount of
frenzied drives by the kaiser or crown
prince on Russia or the western front
can conceal that fact.

A SOBER SET
Black Coffee the FavOrite Drink of
Men on Uncle Sans War
Boats
ASSOCIATED Press)

Base American Flotillas in British
Waters, July 31.-Black coffee is the
popular drink with the men over here
III Uncle Sans teetotal navy. Steam
ing hot coffee is always on tap on
board the destroyers when they are
out looking for submarines. The men
say it not only keeps them awake but
serves also as stimulant and pro-
tector against the rigorous climatic.
conditions under which they labor.
They have not yet carried on board
ship the afternoon tea habit which
they have formed ashore and found
such satisfactory substitute for the
use of alcoholic drinks.
The vast majority of the men say
they do not miss the absence of in
toxicating drink on board their ships.
Those who want it can get it ashore
from midday until eight in the even
ing but for the vast majority the liq-
uor saloons have very little charm.
The record of the men as a whole in
this respect, say their officers, has
been one of the gratifying features of
their stay here.
The patrols, therefore, have very
little to do but walk up and down the
main street of the village in search
of the trouble that seldom comes.
