The Thompsonian toe, which regis

in the varsity's defensive game. The

of from 10 to Is yards on every punt

America and Russia

PARIS-America in the internation-

adopt more systematic policy toward
Russia. America is unwilling to con-
slider Russia safely from the viewpoint
of the aid she might give the allied
cause. The United Press is informed
on authority that the American COM
missioners presented this attitude
clearly to the internally conference.
Russia is foremost in the minds of the

Because of Iyenaga's recent utter

looked upon as a sequel to his pre-
vious remarks and a prediction as to
what American manufacturers may
expect in Japanese competition in the
Far East after the European war.
In discussing Japan's protest to the
United States about the introduction
of American capital into China, Iyen-
aga recently said:

simply to put on record the priority
Of Japan's right in an undertaking of

MARSHAL MoNCEY's LETTER

i We extract the following from a
spirited letter written by Marshal
Money to Louis 18th on occasion of
his refusal to preside at a court mar

prisoned three monthss.

bors be sullied in a single day! Snail
myNlocks bleached under the helmet

1t shall not be said that the elder or

Permit me to ask your Majesty
where the accusers Of Marshal Ney,
when he was on the field Of battle !?
Did they, follow his steps and ac-
cuse him during % years of perils and

ELIZABETH PETROVNA.

Remarkable in many ways, but
chiefly for her scandalous immortality,
was Eliza beth Petrovna, Empress of
Russia and daughter of Peter the
Great. She died 155 years ago to-
day, in her fifty-third year, after a
reign Of twenty years. The licentious
disorder Of her court continued to the
day of her death, but she left behind
her as monuments to her better ma
ture the University Of Moscow and the
Academy of Fine Arts in ST. Peters,
burg, the new capital established by
her father. Empress Elizabeth S
mother, the Empress Catharine, was
a native of Sweden, and was the wife
of Swedish dragoo-A the mistress
of Gen. Bauer, and laundress of
the Princess Mentchikoff, before her
great beauty and her unusual skill in
ironing shirts captivated Peter the
Great, who made her his mistress,
and later his spouse, and Empress Of
Russia. Elizabeth Petrovna may
well have inherited her immoral ten
denotes, for her mother had many
lovers. One of these was decapitat-
ed by order of Peter the Great, and
his skull was mounted and placed in
the Empress sleeping room, but a
trifie like that didn't affect her strong
nerves. Elizabeth was so mortified
by one Of the jests of Frederick the
Great that she made war on the wit
tyi Prussian king, and until her death
Russia was one of his most dangerous
enemies.

RUSSIAN RULER
ASKS SUPPLIES
FOR The ARMY

Petrograd, Jan. ga profound
impression has been made here by the,
rescript addressed by Emperor Nicho-
las to the now Russian premier,
Prince Golotzine, calling upon him,
among other things, to see that the
government devotes it's first attention
to- the question of supplies for the
armies of Russia. The rescript is re-
garded as a clear presentation of the
problems that have oppressed the
nation for the last six months, as we'll
as an sexhortation to more prompt
and energetic action in meeting them.
The clause promising more bene-
ficient attitude on the part of the gov
eminent toward the legislative cham
bers has dissipated the gloom that
prevailed after the recent postpone
ment Of the sessions of the duma and
imperial council. =
The emperor's order according to
the belief here, could not have come
at more Opportune or dramatic mo-
ment-a moment when the gathering
unrest of the country had reached the
greatest volume and the possibility of
solution of the political problem ap-
peared more remote than ever. Some
of the more optimistic commentators
regard the pronouncement of the en-
perOr as the turning point in the in
ternal political difficulties and believe
that the mere enunciation of the trou-
bles Of the nation,l which had taken
vague and fantastic form in recent
months, will be the first step in over
coming them. The Novoe Vremya
referring to the clause in the srescript
concerning the parliamentary cham
bers, says:
''These words evoke great hopes for
the future in the hearts of the Rus
sian people, who have waited long
and eagerly for this cooperation be-
tween the government and the repre-
sentatives of the people. The present
government, under Prince Golotzine,
has a difficult task to perform in rea-
lizing the aims set forth in the re-
script. The predecessors of Prince
Golotzine had little success. Whether
the present premier succeeds or not,
the task is now clearly defined and it
remains only to find some effective
measure of accomplishing it,

WALKING ON THE WATER.

This is ST. Raymond's day, festi-
val of the church which perpetuates
the fame of the thirteenth century
saint who is said to have temulated
Jesus by walking on the surface of
the sea- While modern scientific
thought discounts such miracles, st.
Raymond's contemporaries earnestly
believed that he had accomplished the
seeming impossible, and the bull of
his canonization relates the tale as
truth, based upon good and sufficient
evidence.
Since the beginning of the Christian
era thousands Of religious enthusiasts
have attempted to prove their faith by
walking on the water, but, unless we
accept the account of ST. Raymond's
feat at credible, all have failed In
the middle ages thousands were
drowned while trying to emulate
Jesus.
A recent account of the career of a
lself-styled native prophet and ines
Nsiah'' in New Zealand contains an
amusing tale of an attempt Of this
kind. The "prophet'' announced that
on a certain day he would walk upon
the sea, and called upon all his fol-
lowers to be present to witness the
miracle On the dap appointed a
great crowd of natives assembled.
Presently the prophet appeared, and,
addressing the faithful, said:
DO all of you believe I can walk
Nupon the water?"
"I es," came in a chorus the reply of
his adherents.
Then that is sufficient" gravely de-
clared the prophet, and, mounting his
steed, rode away.
ST. Raymond was a Spanish saint,
who spent the greater part of his life
in retaining Spain from the Moors
Late in life he went to Majorca, but
the king was hostile, and Raymond
sought to leave the island. This the
monarch forbade. Butler gives the
following account of the miracle:
''The saint, full of confidence in God,
said to his companion, "A king Of the.
earth endeavors to deprive us of the
means Of departing; but the King of
heavine will supply them He than
walked boldly to the waters, spread
his cloak upon them, tied up one cor
ner of it to a staff for a sail, and hay-
ing made the sign of the cross, stepped
upon it without fear, whilst the tim
orous companion stood trembling and
wondering on the shore. On this new
kind of vessel the saint was waited
with such rapidity that in six hours
he reached the harbor of Barcelona. 60
leagues distant from Majonca. Those
who saw him arrive in this manner
met him with acclamations. But he
gatheroing up his cloak dry, put it on,
stole through the crowd, and entered
his monastery. A chapel and a tower
built on the place where he landed
nave transmitted the; memory of this
miracle to posterity''

FAvoRs CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

FAVORS CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
Charles Lee, the furniture mer-
chant entertains some pretty solid
opinions on the matter of capital pun
ishment for murderers. After read
ing that certain alleged persons of in
fluence were favorable to it's abolish
ment he came to the conclusion that
there arguments were based on SEN
timent alone.
Mr.. Lee in talking with (the writer
remarked that if the Legislature of
this state intended to do away with
the law in Connecticut he for one
would spend his time and money to
defeat any all efforts that have for
their subject the adjustment of cap
ital punishment.
you ask me what I think would be
the result if the extreme penalty
would be abolished / say it is my
opinion that lawlessness would in
crease to such an alarming extent
that we would have to raise the taxes
of every community to build more
prisons to hold the criminals. Sup
pose life imprisonment was the ex-
IRENE penalty, one man had murder
ed another; he knows that all can be
done is to- sentence him for life, he
is confined in a prison. Does prison
life serve to humble him or make
him better, va life of forced seclusion
with the worst type of manhood
stares him in the face. What does
he, do, he grows more desperate day
by day, cultivates a dislike for his
keepers and his idle moments are
spent in planning and plotting
against the keepers life. He does not
fear to murder because he knows that
all that can be done to him is to send
him back to prison.

Physicians fees in Connecticut have
been so high that they have preclud-
ed casualty insurance by out-of-the-
State insurance companies, according
to reports made to the compensation
commissioner of the Fourth Congress
sional district.
At least four companies from New
York and Massachusetts, have notified
tn commission that they will not at
tempt writing risks in Connecticut
under prevailing premiums. Their
business has. been turned over to the
few surviving Connecticut compan-
les.
The situation is predicted to mean
but one of three measures: The dis
continuance of all compensation in
surance; the material increase of eX
listing rates to manufacturers, or a
state fund from which Connecticut
physicians may be paid for their care
Of victims of injury during enforced
illness.
A bill for such a measure, limiting
the attendance of physicians and the
fees to be charged in certain classif-
cations Of treatments probably will be
introduced. in the legislature at the
