AMERICANS WANT NO

IT will be our wish and purposa that the processes of peace when thev are begun shall be absolutely open ana that they shall involve and per- ,Iat nence1orth no secret understand ings or any kind.

 We entered this war because yio- lations of right has occurred which touched us to the quick and made the ilfe or our own people impossible un- less they were corrected and the world secured once for all against their recurrence What we demand in this war, therefore, is nothing peculiar 10 ourselves It is that the world be made Tt and safe to live in; and par tlcularly that it be made safe for every peace-loving nation, which like our own, wishes to live its own life; determine its own institutions; be assured of justice and fair dealing by the other peoples of the world as against force and selfish aggression. All the peoples of the world are in effect partners in this interest and Tor our own part we see very clearly that unless justice be done to others. It will not be done to us The pro- gramme of the worlds peace, there fore, is our programme, and that programme. the only possible pro- grainme as we see it, is this: PROGRAMME IS STATED

 Neither do we presume to suggest to her any altera tion or modification or her institutions. But 1t is nec- essary, we must frankly say, and nec- essary as preliminary to any intel Heent dealings with her on our part, that we should know whom her spokesmen speak for, when they speak to us; whether for the Reich stag majority. or for the military party and the men whose creed is im- perialistic dominance.
 We have spoken now. Surely in terms too concrete to admit of any fur ther dougt or question An evident principle, runs through the whole programme l have outlined. It is the principle of justice to all peoples and nationalities. and their right to live on equal terms of liberty and safety with one another, whether they be strong, or weak.

AMERICA IS INTIMATE
 PARTNER OF DEMOCRACY

III regard to these essential recti- 1ications of wrong ot right, we feel ourselves to be intimate partners of all the governments and the peoples together against the imperialists. We cannot be separated in interest or di- Vlded in purpose. We stand together until the end
 For such arrangements and cove nants, we are willing to fight and to continue to fight until they are achieved; but only because we wish the right to prevail and desire a just and stable peace, such as can be se- cured only by removing the chief provocatioris to war, which this pro- gramme does remove. We have no Jealousy of German greatness, and there Is nothing in this programme that impairs it. We grudge her no achievement or distinction of learn ing, or of pacific enterprises, such as have made her record very bright and very enviable We do not wish to injure her, or to block in any way her legitimate influence, or power. We do not wish to fight her either with arms or with hostile arrange ments of trade if she is willing to as- sociate herself with us and the other peace loving nations of the world in covenants of justice and law, and fair dealing. We wish her only to accept a place of equality among the peoples of the world-the new world-in which we now live Instead of a place of mastery.

MANSLAUGHTER
CHARGE NOLLED
IN CITY COURT

Joseph De Santos, who has been
under arrest at ST. Vincent's hospital
since Jan. 10, charged with man
slaughter, and not expected to live
today walked out of that institution a
well man and was Immediately arrest
ed on the manslaughter charge by
Detective Captain E. o. Cronan.
When arraigned before Judge Bart
lett, in the City Court later, his case
was nolled because of lack of EVIL
dence.
De Santos was charged with the
murder of James Paoi, in the free for
all fight which occurred in the lat
ter's coffee house, Sc Lexington ave-
nue.. Sunday night, Jan. IS. In the
battle, which ragged in the little res
taurant for several minutes, De San
tos was shot in the abdomen, and
when carried to St. Vincent's hos
pital it was doubtful if he could sur
vive.
To the surprise of doctors and
nurses De Santos rapidly rallied and
this morning was permitted to leave
the institution only to be arrested
charged with the killing of Paoi. It
was established in court that he was
merely one of the frequenters of the
place and there was no evidence to
show that he was in any way con-
nected with the killing of the pro-
prietor.

POLICEMAN HIT
BY TROLLEY CAR
SERI OUSLY HURT

Policeman Daniel Fitzroy, doing
traffic duty at Fairfield avenue and
Main street, shortly before s o'clock
this morning, had narrow escape
from death when trolley car bound
south on Main street split the switch
and struck him with such force that
he was thrown about 10 feet and sus-
tanned injuries which, according to the
doctors, may turn out to be serious.
A call was Immediately sent to the
Emergency hospital and Drs. Keegan
and Gavlas were rushed to the scene
of the accident They found the Off
Ger lying on the ground almost uncon-
scious from the effects of the violent
blow which he received from the car.
He was taken to the Emergency hos
pftal, where he was given a thorough
examination. 1t was found that his
shoulders had been hurt severely and
he complained of internal bruises and
pains
After treatment at the Emergency
hospital it was decided to send him for
further treatment to another hospital
but he declined and asked to be sent
home.
1t was said at the hospital if Fftz-
roy had not been in such good physi-
cal condition his injuries would have
been far more serious than they are
He is expected to recover and be back
on duty within a short while.

ASKS INJUNCTION
and DAMAGES FOR
| LOSSES IN TRADE

Violation of an agreement not to
resume business within seven city
blocks of a store at 874 Hallett street,
sold to the claimant, is basis of a suit
filed in the Common Pleas Court by
Joseph and Louis Barovsky against
Molly Perrin, all of Bridgeport, in
which damages of $4,000 are claimed.
The Barovskys claim they purchas-
ed the stock, fixtures, business and
good will of the store at 874 Hallett
street from the defendant, April IL,
1916, and with an agreement that the
defendant should not engage in the
samek ind of business in radius of
seven city blocks. The good will
consisted of the trade of a large num-
Der of customers.
When the store was first purchased
the sales, according to the plaintiff,
amounted to about $500 a week, but
soon after Mrs. Perrin established
another store within 200 feet of the
former location they fell off to 500
a week.
The Barovskys asks for an injunc-
ton restraining Mrs. Perrin from con-
tinuing business in the new location,
and damages of $4,000.

TRY TO SOLVE
MILK TROUBLES
IN EAST CONN.

Hebron, Conn, March 14.-An effort
to solve the troubles of milk pro-
ducers in eastern Connecticut is made
by aSlking farmers to join local cream
cry associations. On April 1, accord
ing to announcement today, the price
to be paid to farmers for their milk
will be lowered. In Colchester, Am
ster and towns hereabouts about 3d.
900 quarts of milk is shipped each
day to the Providence and Boston
markets.
If this milk is diverted to cream
cries the marketing problem will be
settled for the individual farmer, &C
cording to the argument of those IA
voTing the plan.
At present it costs $1.O3 to trans
port 10 ten-quart cans of milk from
this town to Providence. This cost
and the generally unsatisfactory re-
turns for the milk is said to sum up
a condition which is compelling far
mers to dispose of their cows and give
up milk producing.

tained a long article attempting TO
prove by statistics that America can
not possibly send 100000 men to
Europe a month. The article declares
that more than forty troop ships all
ready have been sunk. 1t continues.
IF the Americans at the front are
fighting well, that does not need to
cuase surprise for it is the fine flower
of American manhood which is now
at the front, namely. the old regular
army plus about 10000 of the most
sturdy and most adventurous eiemeDts
which all nations have, who volunteer
ed at the outbreak of war.
Then there will be contigents re-
cruited from the New England states
These are the best educated and
the keenest fighters because their
heart is in the business.
so we get an aggregate II from
2O0.O 600 to 25O.OOO picked men. but
once these are used up the picture will
be altered because they cannot be re-
placed.
The Zeitung believed that cOmpul-
sorry military service is widely opposed
and is being evaded in the United
States, and it builds hope on the
slender basis that American casualty
lists will increase this alleged repugn-
arpce. The article concludes with
these arguments:
THE Americans are not supermen
militarily and less so than in other re-
spects. America may build standard
ships. but she cannot turn out stand,
ard soldiers. America has done more
than many expected even in America
but despite all surprises. America eX-
pert opinion that the fun weight of
her military power will not develop
before 1919 or even 1920 still holds
good"
