Knew He Had Gone for Good.

Mrs. Hannah Thompson, whose nus
band until recently had been employed
as Pullman porter, interrupted the
proceedings In the Harlem court In Il
hurried effort to obtain II divorce, says
"A New York news letter. She was
Iuleted down until II case then being
heard was disposed Of, and then ques-
toned by the magistrate. When she
had explained that her husband had
left the previous morning It was sug-
gcsted by the court that there was no
reason To believe that he would not
return, and that Mrs. Thompson had
better wait before considering any
such move ms divorce action. But

Decline Of snoIish Agriculture.

Up to about the year 1856 all w<Nt
well with English agriculture and the
value of land and rents constantly in
creased. Then came a few wet, ruin
Gus seasons, largely increasing imports
of grain, beef, bacon and cheese from
the United States and heavy fall in
prices Of all kinds Of farm products.
What was the cause? Simply that the
Western prairie lands We're opened up
by railroads and those big ranch own
crs sent their products East. What
was not needed in the Eastern states
was shipped 10 English frcc-trnde mar
kets, with the inevitable outcome Of
low prices.
In a comparatively short while thou
sands Of English farmers We're ruined,
land fell 10 per cent In price, rents
had 10 be lowered fully onc-thlrd and
the rural population decreased.

DAY or BACHELOR
War Brings a New Dignity to Un-
married Man.
He Who May Be Merely Tolerated in
Time OF Peace Is Lionized When
Call TO Arms Comes.

War has given the unmarried man
some VI the dignity which he lacked
I'm peace ordinarily the bachelor is
tolerated for what he may become
rather than Tor what he is observes
writer in the san Francisco Bulletin
Mothers would not welcome him into
society nor girls take pleasure in his
attentions If it were thought that he
would always remain bachelor. The
hope uf converting him into Il married
man furnishes one VI the main incen-
tivcs Of all social activities. As this
hope declines he becomes more and
more luiSiit In Il world which pridos
itself on finding an exactly shaped
corner for everyone of its inhabitants
who is worth troubling about His
socks are not darncd. his buttons are
not sewcd on. and the number of

he demands in his eggs, are nobody's

later years makes him envy them. lie

to argue the matter with II woman,
but the reason that no woman cares

one Is interested enough In him to

There is no fixed place for him. He
stands free of the burden of the bene-
diets eudeavors. but ut Il cost. He
sees men and women doing things for
motives which he cannot understand.
Social forces of various sorts perpleN

bachelor. lie cannot fully understand
any intangible loyalty because he Is

the steady, grinding work of everyday
life he Is inferior To his married
neighbor. Civic progress relies princi'
pally upon the man whose interests
carry over into the next generation and
nre not confined to his own corporal
welfare.
But this somewhat pathetic figure of
the bachelor Is wonderfully digniiicd
by the advent of war. The married
man, In most cases, Is handicapped
from fighting. His business Is tn raise

THREE MORE MEN
 WANT TO ENLIST
If Accepted Co. E Will Have
 Eighty-Nine Soldiers

Company E secured three additional applicants for enlistment last night and, if these men are accepted as physically fit and mustered into the service it will bring the total of the command up to eighty mine men and two officers. Lieutenant Harris took the recruits to Hartford this morn- ing for examination, but the recruit ing officers were temporarily in Win sted examining men and the local ap- plicants cannot be examined until their return late this afternoon or to- morrow. The new men who have en- listed are working steadily with their drills and yesterday and today have
 been going through the manual of
 arms with rifles. As soon as their
 new equipment arrives they will take
 their places with the regular com
 pany.
 Take Non Com Examinat ations.
 Six corporals took the examinations
 for appointment as sergeants this
 morning. They were Corporals La
 celle, Dawson, Curtin, Logan, Olsen
 and Bloom. It is said that Company
 E will need these new sergeants and
 that there will be appointments for five new corporals about the first of
 the month. There will also be ap- pointments as first class privates. The men are beginning to wonder about their pay and have been noti- fled that their checks will probably arrive between the third and the tenth of May. Orders have been received
 stating that the soldiers will be given federal pay beginning March 26. the day after the president called the Ma ti0nal Guard to the colors.
 Hard to Get Up in the A. NJ. IA number of the boys at the armory are finding it hard to get up iii the morning, but new and more rigorous schedule is being maintained and those who are wont to recline too long
 in the arms of Morpheus have to pay by doing extra fatigue duty. The first call is sounded at 6:45 a. m. and reveille sounds at $50 a. m., giving
 the soldiers ten minutes to get dressed and fall into ranks on the armory
 floor. Yesterday morning five of the ! boys were missing and the guard found them still sleeping peacefully Their penalty was to scrub the com pany parlor. This morning three others fingered too long in their cots and today they have been doing the
 scrub woman stunt in the company locker room.
 Bugler Duplin has been recon. mended for appointment as a cor. poral and Pr1vates Saviski and Suiss are practicing daily to qualify as buglers. Cook "Con" Anderson will be ad- mitted to St. Francis hospital in Hartford on Monday to undergo treat ment for foot trouble. It Is expected
 that he will soon be able to rejotn the company.

 Quaker City.

Philadelphia. April 27.-Athletes from all sections of the country ar rived here last night prepared to com pete in the University of Pennsyl- vania's relay carnival which began today. Every train from the West had squad of college or high school boys aboard. There also were many arrivals from the East and South.

Says U-Boats Hit Vital Nerve.

Berlin, via London, April 27.-A confidential statement in regard to the progress of submarine warfare has been made by Vice Admiral Won Capelle, minister of the navy, to the Reichstag committee in the course of a discussio1 An official statement re- gardinR the minister's communication was given out today showing that he told the committee that success of the submarines continued to be great and losses small The reduction of ton mage at the disposal of hostile nations, he said. was taking place with cer- tainty, thereby replacing the lack of foodstuffs The minister continued:
 notwithstanding the sharp censor shin in Entente countries, sufficient news has reached us to show that the U-boats have hit vital nerve of Eng land and, through her. of her allies. The London Morning Post of April 16 says the number of English boats really sunk has been kept secret, but that the scales are inclining toward Germany. and that this gain probably will increase in mathematical propor- tion. This is significant. The navy has fully realized the expectations on which the proclamation of the sea barrier was based. and it has no doubt that in time England will suffer the consequences

GERMAN TROOPS AT
 FRONT DOWNCAST
But It Is Only Passing Emotion,
 Says Von Stein

Copenhagen, via London, April 27,--
 General Won Stein, German minister of war, admitted during a discussion of military affairs by the Reichstag com
 mittee yesterday, that field post let ters from sources at the front showed a certain amount of Encouragement.
 This, however, was only a passing sentiment, he explained, and in gen.
 eral the spirit of the troops was good.
 In a war like the present one could
 not expect an unbroken stream of
 victories. he said
 General Won Stein's report is con-
 sidered to have influenced the com
 mittee in sending, through Field Marshal Won Hindenburg. greetings and assurances of solid support to the army, which the radical socialist mem- bers of the committee alone refused to sign.
 The committee rejected a radical socialist plan to establish 8 commit tee of parliamentary control to su- pervise the conduct of the war. Dur ing the discussion, Herr Stuecklein, a socialist member. complained that men were sent to the front as pun- ishment, and that this method was used regularly as a threat. He pro- duced the text of an order in sub- stantiation of his assertions.

WILL CARRY MAIL IN AlRPLANE
United States Government Has Closed
an Alaskan Contract With
Flyer.

Earl L. Byers, nephew of 81. w. By
Iers, corporation counsel for Des
IMoines, Ia, has one Of the most I'M
usual contracts ever let by the United
States government.
He has agreed to carry mail by air.
plane over a route in Alaska at a COM
Ipensation of $49,500 annually.
Byers will make two trips each week
between Nome and camp 381 miles
INLAND. He will carry mail and pas
Isengers, and his service will bring the
mining camp three weeks nearer the
outside world.
The country over which he will fly
lis mountainous. There are no level
tracts on which to make q landing in
case his engine should stop. In winter
the snowfall is between % and 80 feet
deep. Even should Byers' airplane
make a safe landing in the snow be-
tween terminals it would be 'impossi-
bile for the operator to get away again.
All of these possible troubles were
considered by Byers before he took the
contract. On a trial trip he carried
-four passengers, the weight being j.
600 pounds He is using Curtiss
tractor, with various ideas in aerial
navigation worked out by himself to
meet conditions in Alaska.

LOST ONE, WON THE OTHER
Attempt to Cure Army Officer of
Mania for Betting and What
Came of 1t.

When Lieutenant Hearst was pro-
moted he reported for duty to the
eommanding officer of a western post.
His superior officer treated him coolly,
hccording to the New York Times.
N'Young man." he said II have letter
from your former colonel down in
Texas, and he tells me that, although
efficient, you have a weakness for bet
ting. / am opposed to betting. / won't
stand for it in this regiment, sir, do
you understand? You could not hire
me to make a bet What do you bet
about anyway
Colonel, I'll bet you anything" said
the youngster. 'Ill bet you $25 now
that you have scar on your left
shoulder"
'What, sir?" said the colonel "I'n
take that bet" Off came the blouse,
then the shirt, then the undershirt, and
THE lieutenant lost the bet
Then the commander admonished
the lieutenant and afterward wrote the
Following letter to the colonel in Tex
as: "Just as you said. This youngster
was not in my office two minutes be-
fore he bet me $25 had a scar on my
left shoulder. Of course he lost, but /
hope he will be benefited by the ex-
perience."
And then came the answer, which
said: "The youngster was right. Be-
fore he left this post he bet me 500
that he wOuld have YOUR shirt off five
minutes after he met you"
