New York, Oct 9.-The stock mar
kets extreme susceptibility to pend

again strikingly illustrated today. Is
sues which owe their prominence and
strength chiefly to the war expert
enced further sharp losses. while is
sues immune from that condition
were firm. when not strong.
Wall street appeared to be in alb
solute accord regarding the presi,
dents note but the speculative ele-
ment extended its bear campaign very
generally at midday. when rumors of
the early detection of the Austro-
Hungarian empire from the central
alliance gained wide currency.
Leading steels and equipments de-
clined two to seven points. Baldwin
Locomotive, American Car Steel
Foundries Bethlehem, Crucible and
Lackawanna Steels displaying great
est weakness. General Motors was
freely sold in the last hour at an eX-
IRENE loss of almost ten points. Rails
and utilities represented the markets
constructive side. Pacifics and coalers
and telephone and telegraph shares
being Joined by gas stocks. including
Peoples Gas and Laclede Gas at two
to almost five point gains. Sales
amounted to $4,000 shares.
Breadth and activity marked the ir-
regular movement of bonds. domestic
rails hardening with foreign war flo
tations, but Liberty issues were con-
flicting, first as and AVS showing
firmness, while the 3H's reacted to
under par. Total sales par value, ag-
gregated s9,150,000. Old United States
bonds were unchanged on call.

A CREATURE OF HABIT

Rose Pastor Stokes is indict- ed upon three counts for viola ton of the espionage laws. Mrs. Stokes is a good and gifted woman. She is in trouble, be- cause, like many other people, she cannot put her habits off. Drink, at first no temptation, becomes a habit and deadly. Smoking, at first a practice without a chain, binds men tightly. Think in certain terms for a period of years, and it becomes difficult to think in any other. Mrs. Stokes has been preaching a philosophy of economics, based on facts pro- claimed by Karl Marx. Much that she believes will be realiz- ed. War, with it's compelling pressure, has already realized much that she proclaims.
 This is her trouble. She is so bound by habit she cannot realize that men and women

HOUSING HEADS
 TO CONFER WITH
 BUREAU OFFICERS

F. J. Kingsbury, chairman, and z. H. Ham, manager of the Bridgeport Housing Co.,, with George M. Flames and David D. Day directors of the company, are going to Washington Monday in relation to securing a part of the government appropriation for relief of the housing situation in Bridgeport
 Meetings of the various committees of the Bridgeport Housing Co. yes terday discussed the subject of hous- ing in general and made arrangements for the committee to go to Washing ton to confer with Hon. Otto M. Eid- litz, of the Bureau of Industrial Hous- ing and Transportation, Monday.
 Col. William M. Garland, president of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, from Los Angeles, Cal. and James F. Freeman, vice president of the same association, from Pruv4 dence, R. l.. appointed by the Bureau of Housing consulted with the Bridge port Housing Co. today regarding gen. eral conditions of real estate in Bridgeport at the present time. These men acting with the local real estate interests are making a thorough study of the situation in Bridgeport in con- nection with the housing work.
 MT. Garland said the movement to make Bridgeport a city of brick is one of the strongest efforts that can be made and should be carried out in or der to prepare the city for its very

Under ordinary circum- stances there would be no ob- lection to Mrs. Skeffington tell ing of her tragedy to the pub lie. But for the present her eff fort to do so is improper.
 The United States and Great Britain are Allies. They fight side by side, in a great and un- avoidable war, in which the interests at stake are much vaster than the largest con- ceivable interest of Ireland.
 In the United States there are perhaps 3O,OOO,000 Irish and their descendants, considering both Catholic and Protestants who came here from Ireland since the settlement at Ply mouth Rock.
 There are more Irish soldiers in the war, serving in the arm | ies of the United States and Canada, by hundreds of thou sands, than Ireland will furnish when the conscription takes place.
 It is no longer a question of whether Ireland will fight for Great Britain, but whether Ire land will fight for the Irish who have already gone to wal from Ireland, and for the Irish who have gone in heroic num- bers from other lands. This is a world war, not a British war and the Irish are expected tc do their part in Ireland. They are doing it everywhere else.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-04-26

must even do with what they have. They cannot carry on with what they are some day going to have.
 All of the scientists who said that. some day men would fly in the air were right. But none of them, so far as the Times and Farmer knows, ever suggested the advisibility of giving up horses, automobiles, and walking, because there ought to be aeroplanes.
 It may be perfectly true at any time that there ought to be something that would work better. There may be some thing in existence that would work better. But if the better thing is not there, it would be 
 stupid not to use the not-so- good methods that are avail able.
 Mrs. Stokes wants to stop us- ing the things the world has because there are better things the world might use. There is where her science becomes un- scientific, and she becomes wrong.
 The business of war is war. It may be true that men ought to know too much to fight, but

SHORT SHOT GUNS

America differs from Europe mainly in the greater versatil- ity of its people. It is easier for Americans to do old things in a new way. They invent new things to meet old condi- tions.
 The short shot gun, bayonet attached, is an American inno- vation for work at close quar- ters. This tool will certainly make close combat more dead ly, and will give those who have the new arm a marked advan- tage over those armed with ri file and bayonet.
 As the troops at charge come to close fighting the bayonet is aided by buckshot, which cov- CT a range nine feet by three, and cannot miss. Hour by hour instruments of destruction be- come deadlier and more certain in their operation.
 The world will look with amazement upon the time when people actually talked of humane bullets, and weapons thatwould hurt a little, but moi very much.
