Today We Celebrate
Anniversary of Treaty Ending Napo
leonic Wars.

leonic Wars.
This is the fourth anniversary of
that day of fate when the German
herdes set out for Belgium and France
and inaugurated the greatest war In
all history. Today is also the 103d an
niversary of the first of the two trea-
ties of Paris signed by representatives
Of the Allies of 1915.
May the pens of the diplomats not
undo what we have won with the
sword" Thus spoke Butcher in his
famous toast at wellington's great
banquet to celebrate the downfall of
Napoleon and the surrender of Paris.
The Prussian general need not have
worried, for the diplomats of the con-
quering nations were not inclined to
let Napoleon off easily. And by the
same token the Allies of today will not
let Germany off easily after the Kais-
err INK his hordes have been defeated.
AS Prussia, Austria, Russia and Great
Britain discussed the fate Of France.
so will the Allies of today discuss the
measure of punishment to be inflicted
upon Germany.
1t was on the second of August,
1915, that a treaty was signed styling
Napoleon the prisoner of the four
powers, and c%onflding his safeguard to
England, which soon baniehed the I'M
pSrlal LIOuDle-u1dkeT 10 OF. I1elcuA.
The negotiations concerning the de-
tails of peace dragged on for months.
Prussia demanded the line of border
fortresses in Alsace-Lorraine, but
wellington and the Gear of Russia OPP
posed this claim, and the coveted prov
inces did not pass to Prussia until af-
ter the war of 1870. While the Bour-
bons reigned in France. and speedily
learned that they had learned moth
ing and forgotten nothing" the armies
of the victorious powers remained on
French soil as O. security for the pay
ment OF a new war indemnity Of L.
900, 900. 900 francs.
After long and heated discussions,
the diplomats finally agreed on a Sec
ond treaty of Paris, which was signed
in November, 1915, and which estab-
lished the boundaries of France. BY
the terms Of this treaty the war In
demnity on France was reduced to
700, 000. 900 francs, and. until the sum
was paid, the Germans and English
were 70 retain q number OF border
~fortresses. In addition to the big in

demnity. France had to pay special
claims amounting to half as much
more.
Great as were the French losses BY
these treaties, abe might have Jared
much worse except for the ~jealousies
Of the allied powers. Prnssia's deter
mination to take Alsace and Lorraine
was foiled by England and Russia.
British p-aagnanimity and Emperor Al
exander's friendship for France saved
her from ven greater disasters, fol
France was utterly defenseless and
wholly IN the power of the invaders.
From the above 1t may we'll be i'm
agined what is going to happen 70
Germany when her fate has been
sealed. There will be no magnanimity
and no jealousy among the Allies this
time, but q stern determination to ex-
act the Ia ounce of punishment from
the wreckers Of the land and the
homes of millions of people.

Famous Women


Paulina was a Roman lady of great
beauty, wealth and virtue, who lived
in the reign of Tiberius, about the
year 80. She married S~aturninus, a
husband worthy Of her. Decius Mum
dus, a Roman knight, fell passionate
ly in love with her, and tried in vain
to obtain her affections. At length
Ide, a female servant, offered her help
to Mundus for $4,000 drachmae. This
woman knew of P~aulina's great veneer
alton for the goddess Isis. and bribed
several priests of this goddess, who
went to Paulina and enticed her to
the temple of Isis. informing her that
the god Anubis desired her to visit
him. She informed her husband, who
gave his consent, and Paulina went to
the temple, whore Mundus was intro
duced L her as Anubis. Soon after
ward she discovered his treachery and
informed her husband. The latter ap-
pealed to Tiberius, who caused Ide and
the priests Of Isis to be crucifled for
sacrilege, the temple OF Isis to be
thrown down, and her statue cast into
the Tiber. Mundus was merely ban
ished.

INFLUENZA CASES UP:
 DEATHS NUMBER 251

Spanish influenza attacked 299 ad- ditional Bridgeporters in the 24-hour period, ending at o'clock this morn ing, bringing the total number of people who have been stricken with the malady 4,974. Following an in- Vestigation of the death certificates at the office of the town clerk, the Department of Health today revised its figures on the fatalities so that they include not only the deaths from influenza but also the deaths from pneumonia and other complications of influenza. The death list follow ing the revision now stands at 251. Eight persons died in the past "A hours.
 Despite the increase in the number of new cases for the past 24 hours, Dr. Brown is not diisheartened. He said: q have repeated this state ment to reporters practically every day, and I will continue to do so. Too much stress cannot be laid on the fact that an early complete control of the epidemic depends a great deal on the people of this city themselves"
 The nursing situation continues tc be. precarious. A large number oi aides are needed to go into the home of sufferers and the health authori. ties and Red Cross people say that they cannot understand the utter lack of disregard to their appeals that have come from the women of Bridge. port.

TWO CR|MINALLY
 IN FAULT FOR DEATH OF OTHERS
Coroner Finds Victor Jones Culpable for Killing of
 Miss Daskam.

Criminal responsibility for deaths is found in two cases by Coroner J. J. Phelan in findings given out today,
 one in the death of Abraham Koenig, who died as result of a collision of
 road roller and trolley car in Strat-
 ford and the other in the death of
 Grace E. Daskam, killed by the over turning of an automobile in Stamford in which she was riding.
 In the case of Koenig's death the omtorman of the trolley car, Charles W. Hannigan of this city, Is held re- sponsible The car dollided in Strat- ford September 14 with a road roller
 operated by Thomas E. Creegan of New Haven, and Koenig, conductor of the trolley car, was thrown off and injured. He died in the Bridgeport hospital October 19 of his injuries. Coroner Phelan finds that the road
 roller was in full view of the apa preaching trolley car for several hun. dred feet, that Hannigan had seen the roller peyating on the street on | previous trips, and had ample oppor-
 tunity to stop his car without col
 Hsion.

 an automobile in which she was ria | ing the evening of October 19, driven | by Victor Jones. Coroner PheIan find,

 male companio1. were invited to ride 1 by Jones. who was then under the in- 1uence of liquor, and Jones drove at | such a pace that his car swerved from
 side to side of the roadway. In Bed l ford street, Stamford, the car over turned, and the girl was SD injured
 she died shortly after. CoroneI Phe-
 Ian finds that Jones was incapable At the time of operating a car properly,
 and holds him responsible for the i girls death.
 | Both findings have been sent to the
