Trade School Gives Course In Blue. Print
 Reading And Drawing

Workmen who have wanted special instruction in blue print reading or drawing now have an opportunity to get this at the Trade School on John street. A thorough understanding of the blue print is necessary for all tradesmen and very often lack of this knowledge has prevented ambitious men from making good. This instruc- ton will be given in the evening school which is about to open.
 Ladies will be given an opportunity to qualify for mechanical drafting po- 'sitions by being instructed in tracing, detailing, copy work, and lettering. There is every indication of good openings in the local shops in this work because of the recent draft and women folks have shown that they can do this work very satisfactory under proper training. Instruction in this work will be given in both the day and evening classes. although the women are urged to come to the day classes if possible.
 Those men or women desiring in- struction in either of the above lines of work may apply now through the mail or in person at 222 John street. As is usual with the Trade School their instruction shops are running full blast during the summer months and the young men and young ladies who are studying along. their chosen trade may be seen each day busy on the job. The Trade School runs the year round and makes no exceptions for rainy days or long summer vaca- tions. Its policy seems to be directly in. line with the Presidents appeal to keep school open the year round While their is a good attendance al the school there are still openings for such ambitious young men as wish to amount to something. Var ious trades are taught and it is un' derstood there is still room for boys to join them.

BROADWAY STARS
 FOR SOU THPORT.

As has been her custom for the past three summers. Mrs Mark A. Luescher will give testimonial per formance at Southport on Friday, August 10th. the gross receipts of which will be for the benefit of the Southport Fire Department. Mrs. Luescher is the wife of Mark A. eLue- scher. the newly appointed general business manager of the New York Hippodrome, and these annual per- formances have become an interesting social feature in which the residents of the shore colony and those of Westport, Fairfield and Bridgeport share the pleasures with the mer- chants of Southport who derive the benefits of this fine enterprise. Pre- viously the hall of the fire house has been, the lscene of these entertain ments, but last year the limited quar- ters of that auditorium became far too small to accommodate the crowd which came from all directions and
 this year a large circus tent has been secured and the performance will be
 given under a large canvas top which
 will seat over one thousand patrons This large capacity will enable the | promoters to offer seats at prices ranging from 50 cents to $2 and all will be- made comfortable. The
 program will be made up of Broad way stars and musical comedy favor ites. including many of the new Hip. podrome shows leading . features who will be seen here before theil 1 premiere at the big playhouse. whicf i is sch heduled for 10 days later than tho

ToDAY's ANNIVERSARIES,

Charles V of Germanl in the year 1535. having assembled a powerful fleet, landed at Tunis and carried by assault the fortress of Golotta. This gave him possession of Barbarossa's fleet of ST galleys and 300 cannon. Having reinstated Muley Hussan and liberated more than 20, 900 slaves, he returned to Europe. On this date in 1853, the Assembly of the Scottish Church having met at Edinburgh, were dismissed by Cetteral for not having the authority of the Parlia- ment of England. The members were furthermore commanded not to be seen together in groups of more than two. On July 25, 1880; Charles x of France decreed that the liberty of the press, be. suspended Five days later he himself was suspended from the throne. It isn't often that a man lives through the reign of five ings, but this was so in the case of Andrew Laughlin, who died at Dev- rock, Ireland, on July 25, 1S40, at the age of 110 years. He had seen five kings successively ascend the British throne. On this day in 1868 wyom- ing Territory was formed from Dako- ta, Utah and Idaho. The Egyptian obelisk was brought tosNew York city on this date in the year 1880.

GERMANY WANTS FRUIT OF SWORD IN PEACE TERMS
Teuton Press Do Not Believe Michaelis Meant No
 Annexation

Copenhagen, July 25-The Kreuz zeitung of Berlin, organ of the Con sorvatives, declares that the speech of Chancellor Michaelis before the Reichstag did nots signify acceptance of the formula. of peace without an- nexations or indemnities, and that neither Field Marshal von linden burg nor Emperor William is minded to deprive himself of the fruits of victory by adherence to the surface meaning of the resolution adopted in the Reichstag.
 More liberal newspapers like the Vorwaerts and the Tageblatt take issue with. the Kreuz Zeitung~ and de- mand that the Chancellor make a clear and unequivoca1 declaration of his standpoint and disa.vow the Kreuz Zeitung's interpretation of his speech. The article in. he Kreuz Zeitung says: "It cannot be the. intent of the leading statesmen, still less of the supreme military command, to re- nounce the complete exploitation of the. military situation so as to obtain what the war has shown to be neces- sary for Germany's present and fu- ture. International peace formulae cannot possibly stay the victorious progress of our arms or the full utili- zation of the advantages purchased with our blood. The Chancellor could not wish to say that, and did not.
 s"Even more vigorously than against 1 attempts to commit the Chancellor must a protest be lodged against at ] tempts to claim the supreme military 1 command is in favor of the Erz-ber- ger-Scheidemann resolution.
 l '"The Chancellor merely declared | that the supreme command was in 1 accord with his declaration, and bJ no means said it approved the peace resolution. We know positively thai l the exact opposite is correct and that the supreme command is in nowise minded to permit the fruits of the sword to be lost through the resolu'
 ton, when the proper time comes.
 ''The duty of us Conservatives now | is to set to work to enlighten the
 people as to what peace must bring | the country and to inculcate un l shaken confidence into tht nation. IT | this confidence we know we are a l one with the supreme command an( the Emperor"
 l The Reichstag, Theidor Wolf

 along this line are based upon "th ,| compelling necessity of events" Y As far as peace Is concerned. Her

UNITED STATES
 MUST FURNISH
 WORLDS CLOCKS
German Isolation Will Make This Country Supply All
 Time-Pieces

New Haven, July 25.-''Now that Germany has been isolated, the world is dependent almost entirely upon the United States for its supplies of time- pieces" said Walter Camp. president of the New Haven Clock Company. today when asked why his company was expanding.
 ''The large German factories in the Black Forest region and elsewhere formerly supplied Russia, the Scandi- navian countries, many of the British like India and Austra- lia, as we'll as Great Britain and Can ada with clocks. Now that these sources have been cut off, the de- mand upon factories here has been increased enormously, and manufac- turing facilities have proved made quate to meet this demand in con- junction with the domestic need for clocks and low priced watches.
 "As ime-pieces have become ne- cessity of life in every country, 1t was essential that this country i'm crease it's productive capacity as rap idly as possible. and this could only be accomplished by an immediate in crease in capitalization. It seems a strange coincidence that this situa- ton should have developed in the year when the New Haven Clock Company, a business started by Chauncey Jerome, was celebrating its hundredth anniversary. This busi- ness now a. century old. has grown steadily until its products are known throughout the world, but in all these years there never before were such extraordinary demands upon our manufacturing facilities. With the capital raised by the issuance of pre- ferred stock, which will be under written by the banking house of George H. Burr & Company, produc- ton will be pushed as rapidly as consistent with the maintenance of the. high standard of work which has always characterized the goods turn ed out in this factory"
