CAN'T RECALL
 WHEN. ICE WAS
 IN SUCH VOLUME

Hartford, Jan. 3O-Never before in his 50 years of experience with river and Sound as at present, sad c. c. so great a volume of ice in Long Isl- and Sound as a tpresent, said c. c. Goodrich, vice president of the Hart ford & New York Navigation Co.,, to- day. He recalled periods when there had been heavy ice for few days or perhaps a week or so The pl esent blockade, he said, mad last ed four weeks, and until the weather moderated considerably there was not likely to be much relief for the Sound steamers, which now fight their way through the massed ice a foot at a time.
 The steamer Hartford, running on the New York-Saybrook Point freight route and leaving New York Monday at p. m., did not reach Saybrook Point until 10 o'clock Tuesday morn ing, being delayed by the ice nine hours. For the last 25 miles ot the trip the steamer did not progress faster than a man could easily walk Heavy ice has formed early every day in the bays and harbors on the north shore of Long Island and or the Connecticut shore, he said. The ebb and flow of the tide had loosene6 the ice along both shores and grad | tally sucked it out toward the oper water. MT. Goodrich said that the new | freight route between Hartford ant
 New York by way of Saybrook Poin was proving successful. Twent! i carloads of freight was waiting a
 Saybrook Point on Tuesday for ship
 ment to New York.

future to find out what these ideals are and to make them more fruitful and vivifying by the engrafting of the nobler German growth. And this will be possible with all nations with the exception of England, whose racial ideal has always been money" I despair of grating anything on the rotten British tree. But before and above all Germans must be fear ed if they are to regenerate the worlds ideals.
 The world must learn that we Ger mans not only know how to be victor ioCs witd Goethe and Schiller, but with blood and iron, and when it learns this the nations will be brought closer to us than by any inopportune lcagues of goodwill and humanity.
 There is nothing which more char acterizes the race atrophy of Ger IT. any's enemies than the manner in which they have expressed themselves in art and science since the beginning of the war. This self-degradation, from which I cannot exclude even neutral nations, will not, however, prevent Germans from doing honor to those dauntless men who in enemy and neutral countries have stood for truth and for actualities.
 The time will come when we shall mention their names and call them cur friends. After the war we shal! do homage to these men, and to their incorruptib!e conduct.
 We shall erect monumental brasses in their honor. They are heroes and their memories shall be consecrated.
 Finally I conjure my countrymen not to be cast down because the world is against them.
 It is an old doctrine, and ever new that he who advocates rotten or crumbling cause has nearly all the world on his side. Were it otherwise it would be a different world.
 Were the preponderating power ot our foes the result of just conceptions of things all this Bengal fire of theirs would be unnecessary. The beauty and greatness of what they stand fol would be clearly seen, and we should deserve to be fallen upon and over powered by our neighbors.
 But the world of enemies arrayet against us has been got together b! the sacred inspiration of desire to fiji pockets, of greedily seizing territory of satisfs-ng every desire for revenge
 of giving free scope to ignorance anC prejudice.
 This is the inwardness of the worlt coalition against Germany. It is no . knightly to run after the majorities The gods of justice and truth ar never on the side of majorities. Bu what have such poor things as knight Illness, truthfulness and a sense of jus
