LAWYERS HEAD WAR COUNCIL

London, Feb s-The War Council of the British Empire, over which Premier Lloyd George will preside, will constitute a supreme proof of the commanding influence which law yers exercise in British affairs, for an overwhelming majority of the statesmen present will be members of the legal profession.
 One of the lawyers who will attend the Council has played conspicu- ous part on the field of battle, Gen. era1 Shuts, who has been in command of the British forces in East Africa, is a member of the Cape Town bar, and served as state attorney of the Trans vaal.
 To find a 1awyer-soldier of Gen. eral Shuts eminence in the annals of British soldiery, 1t is necessary to go back tosthe Parliamentary war, in the seventeenth century, in which General Breton took a prominent part. A motion for the exclusion of all lawyers from the House of Com- mons was discussed in 1649, but was defeated after long debate. r

stronger than the ties that bind them to the United States and they will elect to remain where they are.
 The other 500 are visitors, travellers, representatives of American firms and persons who went to Germany for cures. They desire to return to the United States. Most of them are f. nancially capable of caring for them selves, and on the advice, of Consuls they probably will go to neutral coun- tries.
 The German Government requires all aliens to present themselves to the constituted authorities and remain under observation for two weeks be- fore they are allowed to leave the country. During this period full investigation is made of the individ- uals the reasons for their presence in Germany and the reasons that prompt them to leave. This system is operat- ed for the obvious purpose of guard ing against the departure of spies.

Every mother realizes, after giving her children California Syrup of Figs,'' that this is their ideal laxative, because they love it's pleasant taste and it thoroughly cleanses the tender little stomach, liver and bowels with out gripping.
 When cross, irritable, feverish, or breath is bad, stomach sour, look at the tongue, mother! If coated, give a teaspoonful of this harmless fruit laxative" and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste sour bile and undigested food passes out of the bowels, and you have a we'll playful child again. When the little system is full of cold, throat sore, has stom- ach-ache, diarrhoea, indigestion, collie remember, a good "inside clean sing" should always be the first treat ment given.
 Millions of mothers keep Cali fornia Syrup of Figs handy; they know a teaspoonful today saves sick child tomorrow. Ask your druggist for 50-cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs" which has directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups printed on the bottle. Be- ware of commercials sold here, so don't be fooled. Get the genuine, made by California Fig Syrup Com pany"

way from New York to Liverpol, was then about 1,2OO miles from Liverpool and that she carried passengers, mail and cargo under the same conditions. We noted also that the American line steamship Finland, under the flag of the United States, was due at Liver pol about Feb. or 4.
 "We asked the state department, in consideration of the latest German note, to advise us quickly if we should send instructions to the ships then at sea and if we should dispatch the St. Louis to Liverpool on the regular route and schedule as heretofore.
 'We also pointed out that Fall mouth, mentioned in the German note as the port of destination for Ameri- can passenger steamships, does not have adequate facilities for coaling or handling cargo and is absolutely inn practical as a terminus for line of steamships.
 Further, we reminded the state department that our steamships have their names, nationality and the United States flag prominent painted on their sides and illuminated at night, including a special illumination of the United States flag over the stern, which is kept flying at night.
 Picture of Finland reproduced here with is printed to show how an Amer ican vessel would look if she com piled with the German direction to paint vertical red and white stripes on her side and fly a checkered flag from each mast.

TONNAGE OF PANAMA CANAL.

Panama, Feb. 9-Traffic statistics for the Panama Canal show that the number of ocean-going ships which made the transit through the canal in the calendar year 1916, was 1,253. Their aggregate net tonnage was B. 933,869 tons, and they carried to- tai of 4,931,911 tons of cargo.
 The number of ships was seven per cent. greater than in 1915, but in net tonnage, tolls and cargo, the record for 1916. YVES a little less than one per cent. less than 1915. The two years had about the same bulk of traffic, and both saw the canal closed for period of three and a half months.
 The tolls collected in 1916 were $3,67I695.60, which was not equal to the expenses. The ships in the United States coastwise trade were slightly over three per cent. of the aggregate tonnage in 1916. In 1915 they were ene-fourth of all the traf- Dc, and in 1914 they were two-fifths. Most of the former coastwise ships have been diverted to the more prof. itable foreign trade.

PROTECTIVE ASS0. FUND CLIMBING TO
 REQUIRED SIO,OOO

 bers Are Added Daily.

Mrs. Walter S. Wilmot opened her house at No. 5Os stratford avenue yesterday afternoon for the gather ing of the leaders and works~s in the Bridgeport Protective associe,- tion's campaign for $10,00O in 10 dayH Three days work had been com pleted when the workers made their first reports. They showed Bridge port really meeting the request for twice the subscription of the previous year.
 Old Subscribers have been gener- ous in sending checks. The house to house canvass is bringing in many new members and their additions to the fund. Twice the sum has been asked to meet the demands of the work which have increased so rapid ly. The price of clothing and food has made the budget larger and oth- ed expenses at the home, No. 591 Myrtle avenue. have not escaped the general Thigh cost of living"
 The double budget is required to carry on the big preventive work as well as that of protection. It is necessary to have a second worker who will supplement the efforts of the SupSI1ulS1uGul, MISS IAdIIlI II l. Hewitt. The children's work will be taken up again and the Girls leagues organized in this city with the same ideals which were maintained in the New York leagues when Miss Orlena Weed, now campaign organizer in this city, was the leader.
 The Wednesday Workers of the United Congregational church, have subscribed $25 for the association, aiding women and children. Other societies in the city are planning to take action this week. The work of the association is non-sectarian and meets with the frank approval of ev- cry church body.
 "At what hours are women and children admitted at the home?'' The answer is that women and children are welcomed at any time in the "A hours when necessity demands. If the bell is rung at midnight, a cheery smile will greet the wanderer. If it is in the wee sma' hours when it is darkest, hospitality will be extend- ed. The association keeps no office hours. It is always open.

Berlin, Feb. 9-Frigid weather con- tinues to prevail throughout Germany. The temperatures have broken all rec ,ords. The lowest recorded was by the Potsdam observatory, Sunday night, of 26 degrees below zero. At Zehlendorf, a suburb of Berlin. the thermometer registered 20 degrees be- low; in Berlin g degrees below, and at Kassel, 20 degrees below. 1
 The general average throughout the country for two days probably has been 10 degrees below zero. Sev- eral towns have found it necessary to close public institutions.

J0URNEYMEN BARRIERS UNITE IN
 OPPOSING GOVERNORS PLAN TO
 ABOLISH BOARD OF EXAMINERS
CONNORS COMFY WILL! OPEN THIRD
 BRANCH IN CITY
Will Locate at 687 East Main Street Within
 Ten Days.

MT. J. w. Connors, of the firm of Connors & Co.,, one of the leading mems clothing concerns of the city, announces that he will open a third store in this city within the next ten days at 687 East Main street The new location is one of the most con- venient in the, city and every means to accommodate the ever increasing patronage of the company will be taken.
 The store will possess handsome interior decorations of mahogany wood and the general design and ap- portionment of the various depart ments has occupied much study. A force of hustling and accommodating clerks have been obtained by MT. Connors, and the most exactinig will find their service a pleasure.
 The new branch of the company will carry two well known styles of clothing, Society Brand and Connor's s Clothing. A fully complete haber- dashery department is to be installed and a high grade manufacture of hats will be sold.
 The fact that MT. Connors' business had assumed such proportions that 1t is necessary for nj;n to open a third branch store, bears striking testi- mOny to his absolute fairness, and honesty in his dealings with the pub. lie. Selling a high quality of cloth- ing, his goods have, however, always been of moderate price; of value consistent with cost.
 Thouxh established in this city but 15 months. MT. Connors has become one of ,'the largest clothing dealers in the state and is extremely popu- lar. He is we'll known in fraternal circles and is a member of the Elks, Knights of Columbus and other prom inent organizations.

erythng indicates that fighting may be continued for at least five more years without breaking the Kaiser's organ iZation.
 Reports circulated throughout the world that the people of Germany are willing to make peace at almost any cost are declared by the state ment to be absurd. The people are absolutely behind the Government. They believe that the German armies are victorious on every field, and that they eventually will crush all their enemies.
 Have Sufficient Funds.
 There is no foundation for reports that the people of Germany are suf- fering great privations because of the shortage of food. Delicacies are not indulged, but every subject of the Kaiser is getting three meals daily.

"MY COUNTRY,
 RIGHT OR- WRONG''

At first thought this familiar phrase might be regarded as unreasoning pa triotism. There are superior souls who claim to be internationalists rather than patriots. They are not valued citizens of any government.
 In an autocracy this spirit has it's excuse. The people have had no share in making the government, and can't be expected to submit readily to policies forced on them.
 The system under which we live is of our own making. The acts of the Washington government are the acts of all of us, since the government was created by the laws we all have made. The moment that any minor ity or racial section fails to join in this common responsibility, it helps make the United States a mere debat- ing society rather than a nation, and renders it about as formidable force as a debating society usually is.
 Democratic governments have usu- ally failed because their people could not loyalty cooperate. Having lost the game, they wouldn't plays For tunately minority political parties us- ually support the government in for eign peril. The only question is as to whether our more recent neWcom- CTS have caught this spirit. @
 Are they willing in a national crisis to accept the, sentiment of the nation as whole? Or are they here only for the fat American pay envelopes? Will they join in loyal assent to the Amer ican spirit? Will they suppress dem. onstrations of dissent that could cas- fly give the. idea that this is an undis- ciplined people lacking any unity?
 Probably nearly all of our so-called "hyphenated citizens will be found in the right place if war comes It is perfectly natural that they should not easily lose touch of the ideals and conceptions into which they were born. But the American spirit has drawn these people into our free Wes- tern life, and it can't help swaying them. Those who can't feel that loy- atty to America right or wrong, were better elsewhere. They have come here under misconception

ENGLAND HOLDS GOODS.

American department stores could be stocked with the great mass of mer- chandise now in possession of the English customs officers. The goods have been seized under the blockade at sea, and in port, under the British custom laws as being of suspected enemy origin. The articles include almost everything from pins to pianos The bulk of the goods came from Scandinavian ports, and were consigned to nearly every country outside the British empire.
