unrestricted warfare has been dis
patched to the Brazilian minister in
Berlin, according to an official an
nouncement.
According to authoritative informa-
ton the Brazilian note protests against
the violation Of international law in
volved in the submarine blockade and
points. out that such a blockade could,
il effective, close the entire high seas,
a situation that could not be permit
ted. The note protests, by anticipa-
ton, against any hostile act from
which Brazilian merchant ship

and holds Germany responsible for
such acts.
DrA Lauro Muller, foreign minister,

sentatives of other Southern American
countries. It is understood that Chile

of relations between the United States
and Germany has been delayed too
long. Each South American republic

Germany, but the pour parleurs be-
tween the Latin American states will
continue. The Brazilian minister In

Mrs. Mary West, Wife
Of Capt. West, Dies
After Short Illness

AS the result Of a brief Illness,
Mary, wife Of Capt. Samuel West of
fire department steamer No. 4, died
suddenly at her residence. 232 Capitol
avenue, shortly after Z o'clock last
night, A long standing affection of
the heart was the primary cause.
The death Of Mrs. West, whose
genial and llovable qualities were well
known in the North End, where she
had resided continuously for the past
15 years are too we'll known to her
intimate friends to need more than
brief mention. 1870
Her sympathy to those in distress
was unfailing, her charities broad
cast but silently bestowed and her
home was the gathering place of a
wide circle of persons distinguished in
the social, political and artistic World
Of Bridgeport.
Mrs. West, nee Langenstein, was
only AZ years of age. Born in New
York city where she received higher
education in both English and Ger
man culture, she possessed domestic
and social talent that gave her en-
tree to whatever circles she aspired.
Coming to Bridgeport with her hus-
mand, about 5 years ago she resided
in North Main street, near Bulls
Head. The1 aff1iction to which she
was subjected caused her to cease the
more active work that had been her
wont and she engaged quietly in car
ing for the poorer persons in her vi
cinity and in making the home a
place of attraction second to no place
in the estimation of her family
Though frequently a welcome guest
in many of the fraternal lodge rooms
of this city she never actively identi-
fled herself with any.
She is survived by her husband,
two sons, William West Of Warner
Brothers Co. and Louis West, head of
the new Washington avenue garage;
ore sister, Mrs. Harvey Hill and two
brothers, Joseph and William Lang

Stratford, Feb. For the second
of HOLSTER Heights was arraigned
before Judge Howard W. Curtis in
the Stratford town court today on the
charge of non-support. His case was
continued for a month and he was
placed under the care of Probation
Officer Ernest C. Carpenter.
Mrs. Sabol and her two daughters.
Rosie, aged 81 years and Susie, aged
II years, testified that SaboI has not
given cent towards their support for
the last two weeks. Mrs. SaboI de-
manded that the court compel him to
give $40 a week for the support of
family Of eight children, three of
whom are working. The income from
the three working and rent of a
house which they own in the Hollis
ter Heights section amounts to $35
a week. The mother also told the
court that she did not care to live
with her husband any longer but de-
sired him to pay for the support of
the children not working.
SabOl testified that he has given his
wife from $12 to $14 a week for the
last seven years. He said that the
reason that there was so much fric-
ton in the family was because the
girls wanted to stay out late at night
and he objected. He told the court
that at 2:30 o'clock one morning he
arose from his bed to get a glass of
water and his two daughters were
still engaged in conversation with
callers. Michael Ffndorak, a resident
of the section, and Special Policeman
Joseph Buskey testified that Sabol is
of quiet nature and never becomes
intoxicated.

Would Prohibit Use
Of Silencers Upon
Rifles for Hunting.
Especial to The Farmer

Hartford, Feb. before the COM
mittee on fish and game in the CAPT.
toll yesterday afternoon a measure
drawn on novel lines, designed to pro-
tectethe songbirds OF the state, was adj
vocated by Senator P. B. O'Sullivan of
Derby, the Democratic leader of the
senate.
The bill would place a prohibition
upon the use of silencers upon rifles
used in hunting. 1t is claimed that
the practice of bringing down song
birds with rifles which are equipped
with the sound mufling device has be-
come widespread. In the absence of
reports of the shots audible at a short
distance, detection of the practice has
become difficult.
Senator O'Sulliyan's interest in the
measure has been enlisted by several
lovers Of the songbirds.

when he cries out in his agony and
despair that there is no God, or that
He is unjust; and that government is
oppressive! l am not talking about
the ne er-do-well, but the steady, sober,
Flooding man, who forms a great mass
of our population.
What else is to be expected of this
man? Surely, not that he is to sit
content, while he is made more and
more the slave of the class; and while
his inherent rights are continually alb
sorbed, and while his share of the COM
mon wealth is confiscated. Even a
dumb animal resents i'll treatment. 1t
is law of nature. What of the church
in this? What of Christianity? May
we look for help here
That depends upon the penalty,
and the penalty is REVOLUTION.
Not necessarily thru war, but certainly
thru reconstruction The present
structure is faulty, and it cannot en-
dure. 1t must fall, or give way to
one more Christian; else future pro-
gress of humanity is impossible. We
must build anew And what shall be
the basis? Is there one that will en-
dure thruout all time? Can Christ
ianity be an aid in this? Is there a
principle that will serve as a positive
guaranty of the future? Yes, and it
was blindly recognized by the Presi-
dent in his address to the Senate. 1t
has been forging to the front during
the great conflict; and the world has
come to see that there is just one prin-
ciple, just one fact, one realization,
that will ensure permanent world peace
and Gods kingdom here on earth, and
that is the
Universal Brotherhood of Man"
When this is a recognized fact;
when war is impossible, because every
interest is a common interest, when
we realize that no community or peo-
pie can be a success that is not wholly
so; then will the awful carnage of bat
tie, with its attendant horrors, and its
consequent gamblings and specula-
tions,-all resulting in the oppression
of humanity, be no more.
And until then may God have
mercy on his children.

She now confirms her statement.
What better proof Of merit?
Proved by years of experience.

IL was so severe that l was hardly able
