A demand that the law with re-
spect to location Of the restricted
district be enforced has been made
by former district attorney, Anthony
Jurich upon his successor in Office.
Section $50 Of the compiled laws
requires that such districts be at
least 1900 feet removed from a
church or school. In the event OF
failure to enforce the laws sections
1851 to 1854 provide for the re-
moval of officers for such failure.
That Mr.. Zurich is determined that
his successor shall enforce the Law
or be removed from ofice. can
scarcely be doubted in view of the
attitude he has taken During the
week Mr.. Jurich addressed a letter
to Mr.. Whiteley on the subject and
the present district attorney prompt
ly replied. The letters read as fol-
lows:
March IA, 1917.

EMPIRE.

Blanche Sweet, Lasky-Paramount star. will be seen at tho Empire today and tomorrow in the Jesse l.. Lasky photodramatic adaptation If F. Hop kinson Smiths famous story, The Tides of Barnegat," thrilling drama of the life of a little colony of fisher folk near the famdus bay on the Jersey coast.
 sIn t'The Tides of Ba-negat," in the role of a school teacher, Miss Sweet bears the blame of her sisters shame, sacrificing the love of her sweetheart and Is about to be driven from the village that her own flesh and blood may be protected. Tn this role of deep sympathy and human under standing she adequately fulfills all the expectations this noted part demands.
 Hopkinson Smith, author, oe The Tides of Barnegat,"' was by pro- fession a marine architect, but by choice and talent, a painter and writer. His admirers believe that he was more versatile, and painted better pictures with the pen than with the brush. He was not a prolific writer, but he has given to American litera- ttre some of it's best works, and the greatest of these is considered by s4t."
 In the cast supporting Miss Sweet are such prominent players as Elliott Dexter, Tom Forman, Harrison Ford, LAllian Leighton. Norma Nichols and N1Alter Rogers. Numerous other tcfeen pIays.

BRIDGEPORT PREPARES TO HONOR !. VETERANS OF THE. CIVIL WAR IN
 DEPT. OF CONN. 5OTH ANNUAL MEET
RUSSIA AND JAP AN

Relations between Russia and Ja- pan may be expected to become in creasingly cordial under the new re- gime in Russia, for such animosity as existed previously was chiefly kept alive by the Czar and his sympathiz- CTS. Nippon and Russia have been on friendly terms since the present war commenced. because Nicholas II. realized that it was greatly to his ad vantage to encourage such cordiality, but it is asserted on good authority that his old hatred of Japan persisted. This hatred had its origin long before the Russo-Japan war-in fact, that conflict was to some extent an out growth of it. As a young man, be- fore he ascended the throne, Nicholas made tour of the Orient. From all accounts, the trip was very much of the nature of a debauch, and added little to the credit of Russia. While in Japan the Czarevitch and his rois- tering party demanded admission to one of the most sacred of temples, to which no unbeliever had ever been admitted. This demand. although naturally very distasteful to the Jap- anese government. was acceded to. and the future Emperor and ms party entered the sacred edifice. The pious Japanese were aroused to wild wrath by this unseemly dissertation, and a religious fanatic, who had concealed himself in the temple, attacked Nfch- las with both club and a dagger
 Prince George of Greece went to his resource, knocking the, would-be as sAssin down. The Greek Prince later wrote that ''Nicky was terribly fright ened, and turned to run away" This letter was made public, and Nicholas was so humiliated that he broded over his wrongs, and eagerly accepted the opportunity to force a war upon Jap an. The Japanese, too, did not soor forget the dignities heaped upon them by Nicholas and the members of his party, and were eager for revenge
 Now that Nicholas has been deposed this old wound will cease to rankle.

ANATOLE FRANCE

Anatole France, greatest of the lat ter day French immortals of litera-
 ture, was born seventy three years ago today, a native of Paris and the
 son of bookseller. Jacques Anatole Thibault is the real name of this possessor of vast learning worn with an almost mocking air. An agnostic, socialist, and long an op- ponent of war, he proved his love for land whose name he has made his
 own by enlisting as a private at the
 beginning of the war. It was his de- sire to serve in the trenches, but the military authorities appointed him one of the editors of the daily paper flor the soldiers.
 'The gentle Anatole France" and ''the brutality cynical France" are di-
 verse phrases applied to the Acadeni- clan, and both are accurate. Yet, as
 James Huneker has observed, ''The note we always hear, if distantly re- yerberant, is pity" George Bernard Shaw once referred to him as "the 1 only living Frenchman, all the rest having become Europeans' It. is certain that France is the great con
 server of the pure, simple, unaffect- ed French language. Hts style, "pure oS spring water, mas the tang OI d

ENEMIES THAT
 DESTROY CABBAGE

Cabbage is fequently attacked by destructive insects, but in most cases these yield to prompt treatment.
 Cabbage ma ggots are small white worms which eat off the tender roots. The young plant is dead be- fore the farmer realizes their pres ence. They do most damage to early planted cabbage. A tar paper disc set around each plant is the most effective means on control
 For green cabbage worms spray with arsenate Of lead or dust with Paris Green whenever the same may be necessary. up to the time of head ing.
