WAR FINAL TEST DEMOCRACY

That the present war is the final
test of mans ability to govern him
self was the statement of B. W. Gar
rett, clerk of the supreme court, in
al address at a patriotic meeting
held at Mitchellville. He reviewed
the periods of the worlds history
where various leaders have attempt
ed to assume supreme power over
their fellow men, but have failed. He
declared William the second of Ger
many will as surely fail
The speaker pointed out that to-
day nine-tenths of the people of the
earth are involved in the world
war, including 50 per cent of the
area of the earth and 81 per cent of
the wealth of the world. Over 4O,-
100000 men have been called to the
standards Of the nations involved.
Five million men have been killed
and five million more taken prison
ers. Since the war began almost
three years ago $4,000 men have
been killed, wounded or taken pris-
oner every day of its duration.
The speaker pointed out that the
worlds wealth is $697, 800, 900, 900.
The wealth of the allies is $547, 500,
100000, and of the Germans $10S,-
900, 100000. The allies have 7S.45
per cent of the worlds wealth and
the Germans 15.45 per cent? Or one
fifth of it.
The population of the world is l.
751,700,000. The allies have S0.72
per cent of the population of the
world and the Germans 9.33 per
cent.
There are 52,S24,533 square miles
in the worlds area. The allies coz.
troll 1895 per cent and the Germans

SOLDIERS WANT MAGAZINES.
Have You Any Old Magazines? Send
Them to the Boys in France.

American Training Camp in France,
July 25.-(By the Associated Press
There was greater activity in the
training camp today than at any time
since the American troops reached
France, actual intensive work having
been begun.
The American commanders do not
belittle the amount of work necessary
to bring their men up to the highest
European standards, but the spirit
with which the troops have undertake
en- this work has encouraged the high
est hopes of early efficiency.
Trenches were being dug today in
the way of practice with an enthusi-
asm almost equal to that with which
soldiers dig themselves il under ac-
tual artillery fire. These trenches
were of full depth and were front line
duplicates, consisting of front, or fire
trenches, support trenches and re-
serve trenches, with intricate commu-
nication trenches connecting them.
Yesterday the marines got under
way with their digging, and they
were wiring themselves in today be-
hind great barriers of barbed metal
entanglements for in every way posi-
BILE the intensive training is intended
to approximate operations under &C
Itual war conditions. Both offensive
and defensive tactics will be employ
ed, and some very lively sham battles
with greenades, bayonets and trench
Imortars will soon take place. Dunn
mics have been constructed for bayo1
ct practice, and the men are being
taught the six most vital points for
attack.
The French decorate and paint
their dummies to look like the Ger
man emperor, Won Hindenburg, and
other enemy notables, a1d now each
American company is searching its
ranks for embryo artists.
Practice in trench fighting will moi
wholly replace marches or hikes, foi
the hardening process must contip nc
all the time. Already the mems pack
weigh in the leighborhood of so
pounds, but when finally they are
equipped for the trenches, witt steal
helmets and an extra kit these packs
may weigh eighty pounds, OF equal to
that carried by the British troops and
the men must be fit to bear this bur-
den without undue fatigue.
The weather is warm bat the nights
cool and refreshing. AS much Of The
training as possible is done during
the cooler hours of the early morning
The American soldiers lack reading
matter, and it has been suggested that
some such arrangement might be
made in the United States as tnat in
England, whereby any person, after
Reading a magazine or other period
cal, can merely drop the same unad-
dressed, into any postoffice, the gov
ernment forwarding it promptly to the
troops in the field thru the regular
Ichannel of distribution. The men ara
also looking forward to the establish
ment Of Y NJ. c. a. huts at the camps
and efforts are being made 70 hurry
leo obstruction of these.

WOMAN'S PART In THE WAR.
The Woman of Wealth Can do Much
to Win the War Through
Work i'm the Kitchen.

All kinds of advice are being hand
ed out to women as to how thew can
help IN the war. A conscientious
woman, anxious to assist in everv
possible way, must be bewildered by
the conflicting suggestions.
Many of these ideas are advanced
by people with their heads in the
clouds who do not see the immediate
and practical thing that any person
can do. Some of us feel so dismayed
by the wastes Of our distribution sys-
TEN, that the plain and simple means
OF everyday economy appear too trif
ling to interest them. But our distri-
button problems are too large to be
remedied off hand. While new econo-
mic systems are being organized. the
war will be won or lost.
Meanwhile, there is one thing that
every woman can do in a simple and
practical way. That is to cooperate
heartily with the government sugges-
tons as to food economy. This obli-
CATION comes home especially to wo-
me1 OF wealth who keep servants. In
such homes the pinch of necessity
has never impelled either mistress or
maid toward economy. 1t seems cas-
Ter to throw food away than to adapt
it to table use.
The woman of wealth can do more
TO win the war through work in the
Kitchen than by any other thing she
can attempt. If she knows nothing
about cooking, it is time for her to
learn. She will find new pleasure
In life in providing herself and her
family with dishes of dainty and
tempting quality that few hired I'M
behring's ever attain. 1t will not he
long before she realizes that the home
of wealth is accustomed to waste mora
materials than it uses. That makes
food scarce for all of us and helms
the enemies of our country.
The women are responding so no
bly, to this and other calls that such
advice seems almost needless. Hun
dreds OF thousands of women in lux
urious homes have put on their an
rons, rolled up their sleeves, and are
baking and broiling. The scarcity Of
servants makes it often obligatory
All over the country women are roll
ing bandages and knitting comfort ar
ticles. They can be relied upon to
do their full share.

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-01-04

is as follows:
Genevieve was born in the year 422,
at Nanterre, village four miles from
Paris, and at the age of seven was
consecrated to the service OF Chris
tianity by st. Germanus, Bishop of
Auxerre, who, in passing through the
village, was struck ny the devotional
manners Of the little girl. At the age
of Is she received the veil from the
Archbishop Of Paris, and took UP her
residence in a convent in Paris. She
soon acquired a great reputation for
sanctity among the people Of the rude
and semi-barbarous city, and gained
considerable influence over rulers as
well as people. When the Franks un-
der Clovis captured Paris, she is said
to have moved the conquerOr to acts
of clemency and generosity, and, by
such gentle means she gained the title
Of terror Of the Huns She is also
reputed to have saved Paris from At
tila' and his Huns by setting an ex-
ample of prayer and penitence to the
people of Paris.
Hundreds of miracles are alleged to
have been performed through the in
tercession Of Ste. Genevieve. The
most remarkable occurred in the year
1929, more than six centuries after
the death of the Patroness Of Paris.
A terrible pestilence ragged through
the city, carrying off 14,500 persons,
and continued until the shrine of Ste.
lGenevieve was carried in solemn pro-
cession through the streets Inhabited
by the afflicted. The plague, 1t IS re-
lated, instantly ceased its ravages!

CROWDS BESlEGE
LoNERCAN'S FOR
GREAT BARGAINS

Edward Lonergan's clothing store
in The Stratfield building on Main
street was the scene today of one OF
the greatest crowds that has recently
besieged Nhe doors of a bargain sale
during the past season.
With the aid of police, detailed
quickly to the scene, order was prop
erly kept and the line of buyers was
kept in motion as fast as an aug
mented corps Of statesmen could dis
play and sell them the articles wanted.
Probably no individual advertising
campaign recently conducted has
shown to greater advantage the draw
ing power Of the printed word plus
reputation for square dealing than
has this sale which has been extern
sively advertised and is backed by
the reputation Of Mr.. Lonergan,
which has extended back in Bridge
port clothing annals for many years.
The handsome clothing and haber-
dashery store, centrally located in the
shopping district of the city held it's
doors open against the full crush Of
early applicants for bargains this
morning. Inside the store the big
and varied lines of overcoats, suits,
shirts, muff1ers, sweaters, undercloth-
ing and the other various articles Of
fered at greatly reduced prices were
displayed in such order that selection
was easy in style, color or size.
Corps Of affable clerks were on
hand to handle the goods, to suggest
and to quickly deliver purchases and
it was announced that during the sale
which probably will continue for
about ten days that the doors will re-
main open evenings, until 9 O'Clock
that the great army Of workingmen in
this city may avail themselves Of the
golden opportunity.
Edward Lonergan stated to re-
porter for The Farmer today that no
articles in the sstore have been with
held from the sale and that every
thing there has absolutely been mark
ed down in price.
Inspection of the smart clothing
that is offered in the window and on
the counters discloses that large re-
ductions have been made throughout
and without stint. In some instances
the reduction appears to have been in
excess Of so per cent. Of the original
value. 1
This is the second large sale con-
Quoted by the Lonergan store within
the last 1--WE years, and that It Will
prove successful, both to the owner
and to the general public seems as
sured from the opening today.

THE PATRON OF PARIS

While Joan of Arc is the most VEN
Grated of the heroines of France, she
is second to Ste. Genexieve in the af-,
fections Of pious Parisians. Since her
death early in the sixth century, Ste.
Genevieve has been the Patroness
Saint of the French capital, and her
festival, which falls today, is observ-
ed even by the irreligious. The
Church of st. Etienne du Mont on
the Place du Pantheon contains the
tomb Of the saint, and is the center of
the city, toward which all streets
converge, on the fete day Of Gene
We've. The Place du Pantheon takes
on the appearance Of square at
Lourdes during the pilgrimage sea-
son, and Catholic citizens of all sta
tons in life consider it their sacred
duty to place a candle on the tomb.
Sainte Genevieve is commemorated
in her litanies as the terror of the
Huns and the protector of Paris in
time of war, plague, famine, and
flood The authentic story of her life

A BELATED ANXIETY

a MoNG THE reasons Mayor Wilson assigns for being

Dear, dear There is the ice plant and the commission

The people favored the ice plan they favored the

But the ice plant is sandbagged the plan

city to know what the voters want that it
be taken away from them and what they do not it
can be forced upon them
The voters did want the ice plant and didn't want the
mayor They have the mayor but not the ice plant They
the commission pan and do not want the city plan
They don't get the former and the latter being thrown
them stt
Blessed those who believe in popular government
They will to that the will of hundred per
voters is never defeated.
