NICKNAME FOR AIRMEN.
3 "Atrnats" the Title That Won the
 Prize in Competition.

"Airnates" will take its place beside "poilus' and Tanks" if the world will accept the result of an appeal made by The Plane News, the organ of the American Air Service, for sug- gestions for the best nickname for fighters in the air service. About 300 names were proposed by readers, from which committee selected 25.
 A vote was taken of the aviators at the American aviation school, where The Plane News Is published, with the results that the name of "Airnates' was chosen. It was suggested by Ser. geant c. B. Swafford of the 655th Aero Squad, to whom was awarded the first prize of $2o. Other names considered were Sky Larks." "Joy Boys" Eagles" "Starshooters," {" "Skyscrapers," "Larks, ,""War Eagles" :" Sky Bo," Sky Jackies," and "Joy Suckers."
 A Matin reporter who visited the camp just after the selection was made, halls the name as "clear, light, and neat" but he misses some of its aptness. as he says, "the name has no particular significance, being an ab- breviation of 'aeronauts.'

 Jurors were questioned by the state, defense, and by Judge Reed. Cornell jus L. Dean of Brookfeld, who was the first juror to be examined stated that he could not convict any man on circumstantial evidence and that he had already formed an opinion that the accused is morally guilty. He was excused by the state.
 Augustus S. Brush of Greenwich Justice Sherwood of Easton, were ex- cused by the state.
 Daniel J. O'Connor of this city, asked to be excused from the jury as he is very well acquainted with the case, having had some of his close friends mixed up with it, and the fact that he and Judge Foster are intimate friends. He was excused. J. Arthur Sherwood of Easton, a farmer, was accepted by the state and challenged by Thomas counsel. Some amusement was evident when David B. David of Danbury, a. real es- tate man, stated to the court that after having read about the case hat. already formed his conclusion that | by the court.
 Both William Baby Dolr' Thomas and Jake Hawkins were in the pris- oners' box and listened attentively to the questioning of every juror. At times Attorney Lewis went up to them to question them regarding their opin- ion.

GIRLS AS COAST GUARDS

Washington, Oct. 1-The problem of guarding the American coast line, especially the Atlantic, while present. ing increasing difficulties by the ne- cessity of getting more and more men for the army, can be solved if the Florida plan is adopted by other States. There a wonderful force of Girl Scouts has been drawn into see- vice. These girls cover every section of the coast night and day, and 1t would be impossible for an enemy craft to land men on the shore vita out their presence being reported to the proper authorities.
 Mrs. Medora J. Kingsbury, of Nu- ami, Fla, who is at the Willard, made this suggestion in discussing the re- ported hold-up of Miss Villa Wilson, young girl on the beach of the Ca. nadian island of Campbello by Ge.- man U-boat officers.
 ''These Florida girls have regular districts, the same as the coast guard patrol used to have before 1t was talk en over by the navy" continued Mrs Kingsbury. "There are some mem. bers on duty day and night at all hours, and they have become experts Now with the U-boats apparently landing at isolated parts of the coas' 1t seems to mo that it would be g prudent step to organize patrols o this character from among the gir residents of the various coast com, munities.
 ''I have covered many miles of thu coast between Norfolk and Pensacola I in years gone by and I probably req lize far more than do many others thu weary stretches of land on which hostile craft might run and land enc mics to communicate with spies or t gather informaticn n regarding coast de fences. To patrol this with militar forces would strain the resources o the country, whose men are needle for fighting and for war work of a, kinds. But the women and girl would gladly do the work, and tn cost to the government would not b large. To my mind, a task of thi kind would appeal to American girl, just as did the organization of tn W. A. A. c. s. to the women 0

Asks Senators To
 Vote For Suffrage

Washington, Oct. With the Sen ate apparently about to vote today on the Woman Suffrage resolution, Pres ident Wilson supplemented his ad- dress of yesterday in it's support by sending personal letters to several Democratic senators regarded as opponents asking them to give the measure their vote.
 Senator Martin, of Kentucky, Dem- ocrat, announced in an address that he would vote for the resolution. He was appointed to succeed the late Senator James, who opposed it. While Senator Martins position had been doubtful, supporters of the resolution said 1t did not increase their strength over sixty-two votes, while opposition leaders said they had not counted Senator Martin among their forces.

DEARTH OF TOOLS

Notwithstanding the practical ces- sation of building on all sections, there still prevails a heavy demand for cer- tain edge tools, notably auger bits, ship augers and bits, and some sizes of ship adzes. Much of the demand for these particular tools come from shipbu1ld- ing districts, but there still remains large call for auger bits for domestic business. The supply is scant and un- certain, and the scarcity very great
 The demand for most other, cage tools has fallen off greatly in the last twelve months. In some lines, not ably planes and drawing knives, this decrease is probably permanent, owing to the work being done by blaming mills which was formerly done by these hand tools.
 There is veritable famine in axes and axe handles since the Govern ment has practically communicated the output.
 Crosscut saws are almost unobtain- able, it again being a question of Gov ernment needs coming first.
 The dearth of machintsts' tools, notably files and twist drills, continue unabated. This is practically true of every tool use in the machine shop.

FEAR OF DEFEAT
 STUNS GERMANY
Press Whimpers for Peace, Accusing War Lords of
 Duping People.

Amsterdam, Oct. - The German press yesterday hysterically emphasiz- ed that the need for cool heads never was greater. than now. The possi- bility, never before entertained or visualized, is beginning to dawn on the people that Germany may lose the war, and the suddenness of this real ization has had bewildering effect on them.
 The ,Zeitung am Mittag entirely ap- proves as wholly appropriate to the occasion the sensational editorial printed in Vorwaerts last week, deal- ing with what would happen should an enemy succeed in invading the Fatherland. It makes an assertion remarkable for this newspaper, say- ing: "Our government throughout this terrible war has seduiously avoid ed limiting at this and the other pos- sibiHty, namely, that the war may be lost, if everybody and everything are not united in the utmost effort.
 ''The government has thus itself contributed to yelling the real gravity of our position during these four years of war;" the newspaper con- tinues. Tt has preferred to lead the nation in blinkers past the abyss of danger to our national life.''
 The Rhenish Westphalian Gazette shudderingly contemplates the Bull garian situation ''the last and highest wave" and suspects that the Bull garians, after having got the Dob rudja region of Rumania, have no further use for Germany"
 The Frankfort Zeitung expresses regret that the government failed to impress on friend anldJ foe with truth that Germany did not go into the war out of lust for power. This newspaper freely admits that the Bulgarians are justified in feeling war tired and thinks the Bulgarian people will stand by Premier Malinoff. Finally the F'ran1 fort Zeitung begs the govern | ment to make for peace, t'unequivo- cally and sincerely"
 The Dusseldorf Nachrichte bewails the face that troops will have to be sent to Macedonia from the west front, where they are so bitterly needed" It's sister publication, the Essen A11gemeine Zeitung, speaks ot peAu 4AC"Eo NO1I44lS Lll4Sh cslld 1Ct6Ly and repeats its previous assertion that the Germans must be strong. Later on in its editorials the Essen journal aflls into bitter abuse of 'fbIasphem- ing Wilson and his mob of lynchers." l From the tone of the Dusseldor Nachrichten editorial news that Bul garta has surrendered to the Ententt Allies and that an arnistice has beer granted apparently has not been per mitted to be published in Germany The editorial in Vorwaerts as noted in the aforegoing was printed in Tn Sun of Monday morning. Vorwaerts the organ of the Socialists, made strong plea for immediate negotia tions for peace and drew vivid ant pessimistic picture of Germany in tn, future if her borders were crossed.
