BRIDGEPORT WOMEN TO
SEND JAMS AND LIVELY
READING TO SAILORS

Mrs. Orville Rector, leader in pa
triotic movements, has appealed to
the women of the city to cut from
newspapers and periodicals any ar
ticles that may appeal to them as of
particular interest to the Bridgeport
boys in the service, especially to the
members of the crew of the Connecti-
cut.
Another service to the boys under
arms which Mrs. Rector expects to
perform with the cooperation of
Bridgeport women Is the furnishing
of jsllies, jams and the like to the
members of the Connecticut's crew.
Persons who wish to aid m either way
should send their gifts to Mrs Rec
tor, at 1916 Iranistan avenue.
If donors wish their jams or their
newspaper clippings to rech any indi-
vidual. they have but So to indicate.
and the gift will find its way to the
proper destination.
Mrs. Rector suggests that the clip
pings be of an optimistic nature.

season, New England's markets are
now well supplied with this unsur-

assistance they can and efforts are
being made to leave no city or town
unsupplied.

the crop is ripening splendidly The
fruit is coming into market in fine

before an effort is being made to al
low the peaches to remain on the
trees until they are fully ripe, and
that means that their season in the
market will be short

ROCKEFELLER MUST
WATCH HIS STEP

John D. Rockefeller and the Stand
ard Oil Company are now confronted
with feminine competition. The war
has not only crowded woman to the
front in our commercial world, but
has encouraged her to take up and
develop industries that have hereto
fore been monopolized by a compare
lively few powerful men.
It is said that the other oil COM
panies recognize the competitive pos
sibilities of these women.
The Womans Federal Oil Co., of
America is the unique corporatin
ests ponder more deeply than they
have for many years past.
mo longer must we theorize over
what women are capable of doing"
said a prominent senator in a recent
Washington address. I'VE can now
see what they are actually doing Just
note, for example, the record of the
Woman's Federal Or Co., of Ameri-
ca" This new oil corporation to
which the senator referred was or
gained by group of well-knowkn
society women. It's officers are wo-
men and it is directly managed by
women.
Headed by Mrs. H H. Monroe, Jr.,
member of an exclusive and distin-
guished Chicago family as president
of the company, these women en-
pFoyed experts to locate rich oil land
for them. In 1915 they incorporated
under the Federal laws Of the Dis
trict of Columbia with leases on
thousands of acres of oil land in the
proven fields of Oklahoma, Texas,
Kansas and louisiana, and with a
modest capitalization of $4,000.

RUsso-JAPANEsE WAR

A few years make a great differ
ence in almost all things but in none
more so than in international politics.
Japan and Russia are, today allied on
one side of the great war. It is just
twelve years ago today that they set
tied their differences and put to an
end one Of the most destructive wars
in history. The treaty of peace that
brought the great conflict to a close
was signed on Sept. S, 1905, at Ports
mouth, N. H.
In the preceding June President
Roosevelt opened diplomatic CORES
pondence with Russia and Japan,
both anxious to bring the war to an
end. although, of course, neither of
these nations would admit such a
thing publicly, agreed to peace
parley. At the invitation of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, they agreed to send
peace commissioners to America to
consider ways and means of ending
the struggle.
In the quaint and quiet little city Of
Portsmouth the great battle of wits
between the diplomats of Russia and
japan was fought to a conclusion.
The negotiations were eventually TAX
en- out of the hands of the commits
sioners, and the parley was carried
on between ST. Petersburg, as it was
then called, and Toxic, with Wash
ington acting as Intern ediary.
The close of the long struggle be-
tween the two governments and their
ENJOYS at Portsmouth came with
startling suddenness, when Japan, in
the interests of peace made unexpect-
ed concessions in the matter of de-
handing territories and indemnity.
After these concessions had been
made an agreement was speedily
reached and the treaty of peace sign
ed. That was on Sept. 5, 1905.
The Russo-Japanese war was so
terrible in it's destructiveness and so
costly in money and lives that tina
friends of peace hoped that it would
serve as an object lesson that would
forever deter gre at nations from US
ing force in the. settling of their dis
puts. All will agree that that lesson
has entirely been lost. The total
forces engaged were ABOUT 100000
men. OF these the slain. permanently
disabled and invaded home have
meen computed at 625,000, of whom
$4,000 were Russians. and 100000
Japanese. Of course, in the light of
the present conflict, in which it is
estimated that 100000 armed men
are engaged, the Russo-Japenese war
seems like a triflng skirmish.

TOM WATSON

You hear the name of Tom Watson
mentioned these days in connection
with agitation against the draft, and
you know that Tom Watson is going
to get into trouble. But that's moth
ing to that stormy petrol Of Georgia
politics and Journalism, who is an
ex- congressman and was once can
didate for the presidency of the Uni
ted States as the head of the Popu-
list ticket. He's always in trouble,
in fact he looks for Ii. land he gener-
ally finds it. He was born in Column
bia County, Ga, on Sept. 5, 1856, and
he is therefore today celebrating his
sixtyfirst birthday. very likely by
shaking his fist at something in a
more vigorous manner than he usu-
ally does, ..Agitator,'' anarchist .
.tdemagogue' and even traitor" are
among the mi1dest of the epithets APP
piled to Tom Watson by his political
and religious enemies. He is the edit
tor of The Jeffersonian and attained
wide prominence by the part he took
in the Frank case, and it was alleged
that the bitter attacks made on Frank
by Watson through the columns OF
his paper were in part responsible for
the fate that overlook the Jewish
prisoner.
Tom Watson was school teacher
in his youth, and spent two years al
Mercer College. He was admitted to
the bar about forty years ago. and
practiced for a time in the town OF
Thomson, which has since become the
scene of his publishing activities. He
entered politics soon after the begin.
ming of his legal career and was elect.
ed to the Georgia legislature in 1882
When the Peoples Party movement
was launched, Watson became one .ot
its leaders in the South, and was
elected to Congress as a Populist IL
1890. He served but one term, an6
was defeated in subsequent elections
although he claimed that an honest
court would have resulted in his re-
turn In Congress he fathered the
rural free mail delivery system, and
secured the first appropriation ever
passed by Congress for that purpose
In 1895 he was nominated for vice
president at the st. Louis populisi
convention which endorsed Bryan for
President He was nominated for
! president by the Peoples party in
1904 and made an active campaign
in the hope of reviving the party.
Watson early embarked in journa-
lism in Atlanta, and in 1905 founded
Tom watson's Magazine in New
York Later he established The JEFF.
fersonian in Thomson, Ga. He has
written several historical and biogra
phicaI works. 1.-THE Story of France
and biographies of jefferson and Ma.
