Peace.

Those pessimistic persons who see
no hope for peace in the multiplicity
OF notes and suggestions, editorial,
pulpit and parliamentary, have not
read their history correctly.
No war has ever reached the mag
nitude and frightfulness of the pres
ent one. No world conhagration or
madness so stupendous has ever ap-
preached it. People of nearly score
OF nations; certainly of fifty different
tongues and undoubtedly Of every re-
ligion in the minds of men, Christian,
Brahmin, Buddhist, Hebrew and what
not, are involved.
And yet because after two and a
half years of terrible manslaughter,
property destruction, assassination
and destruction of nearly every estab-
lished principle of peaceful life under
heretofore believed to be sacred
treaties; after the absolute ignorance
of every conceived notion of civilized
warfare and the institution of species
of life destruction far beyond those
of savagery peace has not hoped
into US like the beautiful little dove,
who is her carricature; because of all
this some folk are discouraged.
History tells us that every war,
great or small, every conflict of opin-
ion between peoples has only been
led to comfy and peace after careful
consideration by diplomatists. Notes,
protocols, armistices, parleys and
councils OF war have been passed
without number before the peoples
signed the terms of friendship.
That is just what is happening to-
day. The note of President Wilson,
the prayers of the Vatican, the sug-
gestion of Germany for a conference,
all tend to promote the final peace.
They are working as leaven in a
worldwide sentiment calling for a
cessation of the great struggle.
There is no doubt of the ultimate
result. 1t is unspeakable that such
an agitation should not eventuate sue
cessfully. Mr. Wilson deserves and
received the thanks of the civilized
world for the move he made. The
prayers of the aged pontiff; the offer
of Won Bethmann-Holweg. and the
united demand for peace of nearly all
neutral nations are having their ef-
feet
Britain's answer, the reply of the
allies and the reiteration of their sin
cerity by the central powers are leav-
ing avenues of opening through which
the little dove will find her way.
The final terms have not even been
hazsrded. A guess of them ranges
through the infinite. The duration
of the war, the probable time of con-
ference and agreement are only spec
ulative, but there is no doubt in the
world but that peace is as surely
coming as the dawn of new day is
to follow the shades of this night

A lovely morn is every morn,
There are no ugly days;

And fiout his shifty ways.
'Tis pleasant when the sky is gray;
I glory when it's blue;
And beautiful. o Love, the day
That takes me unto you;
The snow love. the rain. the sleet:

And every da 1 galy meet

There are no gloomy days, say;
'Tis always splendid weather,

visions should be made so that the assignment will be a desirable one and afford a man such wages as will cause him to be willing to consider 1t regular work and not a side line.
 Master Mechanic Edward G. Burke made his first report on the condi- tion of the departments apparatus, explained 1t in detail and was closely questioned. As 8 result, it was voted to request the American FL.aFrance people to send an expert here to cor rect minor faults and see that the apparatus Is placed in first class con- dition.
 No action was taken relative to the request from the Newington select men relative to some arrangement whereby, the local department can be called on. in case of emergency, to give aid in the Maple Hill and Golf Links sections. It was noted that the Hartford department has been re- Quested to give similar protection to the eastern part of the town as far as Newington Center, has the proposition still under discussion and is seeking to- learn what arrangement is made between the town and the local de- partment. It was suggested that the use of chemicals would be all that would be desired. Fire Chief Robert M. Dame said that he viewed the use of chemicals, in giving of suggested aid. as poor policy on the ground that. if there was 8 fire, 1t would be be- yond the reach of chemicals by the time that the .call for assistance was received and apparatus reached the scene. No action was taken. the mat ter being deferred for future consid- eration.

POLICE TAKE CENSUS OF TANGO PIRATES
Thus Far SeVenty-Six Idle Young
 Men Have Been Enrolled

New Yok, March 2S.-A census of tango pirates" was begun by the po- Ice yesterday in connection with their investigation of the strangling of Mrs. Elsie Lee Hilair at the Hotel Martinique on March 15 last. About twenty-five Broadway establishments were visited, and the police obtained tho names of seventy-six men who, 1t was said, made a practice of meeting women, especially married women, in those places. According to the po- lice information, the only means of livelihood of these men was the money they received from the women.
 This seemed to bear out a report originating in the Hilair murder that the business of preying on married women in some of these places had grown extensively since afternoon dancing became popular, and that many of the resorts were infested by tango pirates" The police made no arrests. but will keep the names on file for future reference.
 Search was begun by the district attorney and the police last night for an anonymous letter writer. said to be a woman. who wrote that . day or two after Mrs. Elsie Lee IIilair
 
 Benny Sternberg asked her employer. a jewelry ''middleman," if he could dispose of some diamonds in 8 hurry" The intimation contained in the letter was that the diamonds were those stolen from Mrs. Hilair at the time she was murdered. Tho letter was signed with three Ks. It was addressed to the captain of the Forty seventh street police station and read in part as follows.
 "You can rest assured you have the right person. I am sure he is the same person who came into the of- flee where I work as typewriter to see my boss on private business. When he came in he asked the boss if he could see him privately, and I was asked to go into another room. Before got out of the door heard him ask if he. could dispose of some diamonds in hurry. do not know what bargain they made, but am sure he is the same person you have in custody. He was in the office several times before and always had some thing to dispose of, but I never was asked to leave the room before this occasion.
 ..My boss is promoter and middle man, aNu LHdt AS nlI AuOW hUOut AAo business, although working for him. Of course, would lose my position if I came out publicly: still, am will ing to do even this much in the in- terest of my sex. because such rascals are all about us at every turn we can make"
 Alfred J. Talley, assistant district | attorney, said last night that the writ CT of the letter would get every pro- ] tection If she revealed her identity either to him or to the police. The police talked yesterday to a 1 woman who said she thought she had ! seen Benny, Mrs. Hilair.. and another .'tall man. on Forty second street, between Madison and Fifth avenues, at noon on the day of the murder. Inspector Cray and MT. Talley also questioned other, persons. some of whom may appear as witnesses when the coroner's inquest is continued this afternoon.

CONTEST IN THIRD
 BEGINS TO LINEN
Curtis Opponents Meet at Mayor
 Quigley's Office

Strong support in favor e0 Alexan- der Mackay for alderman from the Third Ward Is being brought to bear and Councilman Orson +. Curtis and his followers are assured of lively battle at the primaries. Despite the fact that the mayor seems to be lined up with MT. Mackay, Councilman Cur tis and his coterie of followers are not greatly. worried, they state, and expect to sweep aside the opposition when the voting takes place. The primaries will be held on Friday of this week and instead of having the Third Ward balloting at republican headquarters the polling place will be located at the, Eddy Awning company in the rear of City Hall.
 MT. Mackay and his supporters in- cluding. those on whose counsel he is said to have decided to enter the race, are waging a determined bat tie. Last night twenty-five or more Third Warders who are interested in MT. Mackay's campaign gathered at the real estate office of Mayor Quig- ley to talk over ways and means of defeating Councilman Curtis. Mayor Quigley was present at the meeting and is said to have favored the oppo- sition to MT. Curtis. This is only nat ural, however. as a year ago the two men opposed each other for nonina- tion as mayor. While there Is no dis senting comment as to the right of the mayor to have his. personal views, there are any number of people to- day who are openly criticising his honor for meddlinE in ward politics, and more especially since several peo- pie from other wards than the Third were present at last nights session. The concensus of opinion seems to be that the contest for alderman in the Third Ward should be handled by the Third Warders without interfer- ence from residents of other wards. By thus taking sides in a race for a council chair many feel that the mayor is taking . step that may lead to dissention later.
 Calm and uncommunicative as usual, Councilman Curtis makes but few comments on the outcome of the primaries, but he appears extremely confident. He has already been as- sured of some excellent support in the Third ward.
 Stark For Constable.
 Tne republican town committee, m making up its. list of constables for places on the voting machines next month, has returned George A. Stark in place of Genario Palmieri. A year ago the town committee saw fit to drop MT. Stark in favor of MT. Palmieri.
 Nurczyk Not Candidate.
 Another change has taken place among the aspirants for council hon. ors among the democrats. Paul Nurczyk. advisor of the Polish Demo- cratic club. who some time ago an- nounced his candidacy for alderman in the fifth ward, has withdrawn from the race in, favor of former council man John J. Riley. Thus, MT. Riley will again be pitted against William J. McCabe at the polls this year al he was two years go when the re. publican came out winner.

 Police Station Janitorship.
 Securing change in the janitor service at headquarters by having a
 man who will do the work and also
 he available as chauffeur, in an emer-
 gency, was brought up by Commits
 sioner Steele. He expressed the belief
 that some arrangement should be
 made whereby an extra chauffer Is
 available. This was illustrated by the
 statement that. If the regular chauf-
 feur is out with one of the depart
 ments's cars, the other one is not available, unless under a delay. He was informed that much difficulty Is likely to be experienced in securing a person, capable as chauffeur, who would be willing to do the work of ianitor and that the ordinary janitor would not necessarily be able to act as chauffeur. No action was taken. Inquiry was made as to how many members of the department are cap- able of chaffeur duties. It was stated that the patrol-ambulance service is growing much more in importance to the department annually and some provision should be made to have 6 regular chauffeur on duty nights in stead of making it side line for some supernumerary officer, who ia willing to sleep at the garage and take chances on being able to secure sleep through lack of calls for his service It was the opinion that pro-

 TO PREVENT REGISTRATION Government is to Deal Vigorously
 With All Such Cases.

Washington. May 27.-CriminaI in vest1gation awaits persons who at tempt to prevent registration under the war army bill by propa ganda or otherwise. Attorney general Gregory announced tonight that his attention had been called to the circulation of propaganda designed ito discourage registration, and that the government would deal vigorously with such cases.
 Such action is a plain violation of the law said MT. Gregory, '<and the department of justice is prepared to prosecute promptly any person guilty of such conduct"
 The officers and agents of the de- partment throughout the country have been instructed to watch carefully for infractions of this law.
 Tn addition to the penal provisions contained in the act which make eva sion criminal offense.
