date for President Of the Board Of Al
dermen. He branded the Socialists who
had resigned from the party as "wsak-
kneed," and said that for each one VINO
had resigned 900 others had joined.
He declared the Socialist strength was
growing throughout the country as
protest against the war.

Gently recorded moro votes for the So
cialists than they did for the Republl-

Mr.. Cassidy. Certainly the people

Charges Are Denied

pro-German and pro-Kaiser. For three
years government agents have been
searching the country for German spies
and for those who receive German
money. Yet never have they arrested
"A Socialist on that charge. We, too,
want to crush German autocracy. but
we want also 10 crush the industrial
and political autocracy in this coun-
try
Mr.. Hillquit made it plain that de-
mand for peace would be the issue
upon which the Socialists would depend
for votes
an this great historical process OF
world regeneration the Socialists OF
America must and will play their part,
he said. "For, contrary 10 II protesta-

the United States, like the people OF
Europe, want peace, and OF all politIcal
parties the Socialist party alone has

their demand openly, vigorously and
dctiantly.

ably opposed to the killing of our man

in bewildering pursuit OF an incom-

democracy which has the support OF

which begins by suppressing the free

litical criticism.

the idea OF putting time limit on Ger

The great masa Of British Liberals
would support this view. but the
nowerful pan-Germans. with compare
lively small numbers, are fighting des-
noro,cIv against peace. Why? Because
pesce will bring them financial hard
ships more desperate ever than those
Of war, and because they hope by pro-
longing the war to pull down their
enemy trade rivals.
Liberals Work for Peace
The Liberals and Socialists in Ger
many are openly working for peace.
They have completely snelved most OF
their war psraphcrnalia, but they can
not hone for success until they defeat
tbeir enemies at home. They nave
big lob, and that is another reason why
peace by Christmas is unlikely.
The American estimates of two mor'
wears Of war are considered here 70
be much too long. To quote from
Garvin again:
"Some two millions of American
troops, rs well as dense swarms oil
American aeroplanes, will be IN the
Western field year hence. Econom'-
callv, the Allies increased might ana
influence will give them the ability TO

WINGED that the breaking point for the

Aims Greatly Modified

European belligerents have greatly
modified their original war aims, and
the process of modification still con-
tinues. 1t would be cruel and fruitess
TO chronicle here the war aims as they
were pronounced in the fall of 1915
and to-day. The modification is almost
unbelievable when the passionate posi-
tiyeness with which they were made is
recalled.

Russian Attitude
 Disappoints Germany

Amsterdam. May 25.-The, socialist newspaper Vorwaerts of Berlin say s that the recent statements of Pfemier Lvoff and Foreign Minister Teres- chtenko of Russia, expressing deter animation to continue the war with tlla countrys allies are a great disappoint- ment to those in Germany who expect ed separate peace quickly with rev o1utlonary Russia. The Vorwaerts sars Germany's policy is not dictated by the Pan-Germans and that the state- ments of the Russian ministers would never have been made had Chancet- Tor Won Bethmann- -Hollweg replied fully and satisfactorily to the inter- pel1atton of the social democrats re- garding war aims and said that the desires of Austria and Russia were al- so those of the German government. It continues:
 The German people do not in the least think ofssubmitting to the dom nation of militarism after the war and they will the less think of extend ing such domination over other na- tiona."
 The Kreuz Zeitung considers the statements of the Russian ministers to be the first success of British policy in the new situation and a demonstra- ton. of the fact that politically time is not on our side.''

Home Guard Horses
 Go Under Hammer

Connecticut's Home Guard cavalry horses abandoned by the state in it's decision that no mounted units will be used in the service, will be auction ed tomorrow in New York to the high est bidder.
 The beautiful lot of horses purchas- ed at his own expense by Major s Russell, Jr., millionaire factory owner of Middletown and New Britain, and one of the foremost civic and patriotic spirits in Connecticut mill go under the hammer at 10 o'clock tomorrow in the vast arena of Van Tassell & Rear ney, 126 East Thirteenth street.
 Decision of the commanding off, cers of the Home Guard at Hartford to discontinue cavalry service is much regretted by all enlisted men for the horses purchased and donated by Ma jor Russell were of the very best ob- tainaible after diligent search. Every horse was a jumper, harness broken and guaranteed to be both young and sound. Visions of Connecticut having one of the most serviceaJb1e as well as crack cavalry regiments of the coun- try have been dissipated by the or ders and their sale tomorrow will att tract wide attention in military and training schools throughout the coun- try.
 These horses, which since their pur- chase by Major Russell have been quartered at Mfddletown, were the pride of the community, all being nearly of a color and handsome mounts.
 Though Major Russell is said to have been disappointed at the action of the state authorities in abandoning the troop, he has met the situation with that spirit that has always dom mated his ,forceful and civic minded spirit.

Missing Fairfield
 Bondsman Cause of :
 Suit Complications

The mysterious. disappearance of Henry E. Williams, a Fairfield saloon keeper, may cause complications in the s1o.00o suit brought by Kate Ben ton, administratrix of the estate of Walter Benton, against Dr. William T. Nagle of Fairfield. Williams fur nished a $12.oc0 bond for Dr. Nagle. but on May il the superior court or drered special bail of s6,000 substitu- ted. Three weeks were allowed for the substitution but up to date the bail has not been furnished.
 Mrs. Benton brought action to re- cover for the death of her husband, Walter Benton, who was struck and fatally injured November 20, 1916 by pr. Nagle's automobile. The accident happened at Fairfield avenue and Courtlanld street Damages of s10O00 were asked. After Dr. Nagle was ar rested on a body writ he secured Vii Hams as bondsman. Williams owns real estate in Fairfield and Hartford. Although all kinds of rumors regard ing his disappearance are heard in Fairfield nothing definite seems to be knoWn. His saloon is still open

M0vEABLE-FRAME HIVES FOR BEES
 PROVE SUPERIOR
Skill of Keeper Measured by His Ability to Curb
 Swarming of Bees.

Washington, D. C., May 25-The old time beekeeper boasted of the number of swarms which issued from his hives but the modern beekeeper knows that swarming is one or hls worst obstacles to producing a large crop. The modern beekeeper knows from experience that after he has given all his energy to getting every colony as strong as possible at the beginning of, the honey-fow, he must not permit the bees then to spoil it all by dividing their forces.
 Of course, it is impossible, to do anything toward controlling swarm ing when the bees are in a box or "gum,'' and this is the chief reason why bees in movable-frame hive are more profitable. 1t is also un- fortunately true that in spite Of the colonies will sometimes swarm. In that event the beekeeper makes the most of a bad situation by keeping the forces together in another way.
 If swarming occurs when honey is coming in, the hive should be at once removed to new place and new hive placed in the old location, the bee specialists of the U. S.. Depart ment of Agriculture advise. The swarm is now hived in this new hive and, because it is in the old loca- ton, all returning field bees from the colony join the swarm and the pop ulation is kept up. Later on there are various ways of reducing the par ent colony still more for by this means the issuing of worthless alter swarIns is prevented.
 The beekeeper who desires to get the greatest possible crop does not permit even one swarm to issue if he
 can. help it. When swarming time arrives, he examines every colony once a week. If he finds queen cells with eggs or small larvae in them, he cuts every one out and thus makes it necessary for the bees to build other cells, If they still persist in their ef- forts to swarm. If, however. he finds larger cells with old larvae he knows that the impulse to swarm has developed too far, so he must satisfy it in some way. He may make ar artificial swarm-at his convenience and not at that of the bees-of it he is producer of comb-honey he may cut out all the queen cells and cage the queen for ten days until they gel over their .'swarming fever"
 The skill of \ the bee-keeper can usually be measured by the results of his work in curbing swarming. Int 1 poetry which others see in issuing l swarms is entirely lost on goo6 bee-keeper. The methods of swarm | control are given in Farmers Bulule tin 5O3, Comb Honey which ma. 1 be obtained on request from the Unit ed States Department of Agricul I ture. !,
