Washington, Dec. Amy action

President Wilson reaches Europe, ac-

State Department. The British and
French governments already have
been examining into the legal ques-
tions which might be involved in any
efforts to bring the former kaiser to
trial. President Wilson, so far as of
ficials now in Washington are aware,
never has expressed himself on the
subject.

London, Dec. 1.-The correspondent
at Amsterdam of the Daily Express
calls attention to the fact that former
Emperor Williams act of renuncia-
tion was dated at Amerongen, Novem-
ber %, and was published in Berlin,
November 20, and adds:
1T is obvious that telegraphic COM
munication between Amerongen and
Berlin is neither cut nor subject to the
delay that all messages sent by ordi
nary mortals meet with"
The Times, in discussing the former
German emperor's act of renuncia
ton, says that there is still room for
doubt whether his abdication is legal,
and adds;
Moreover, the only effect of the
emperor's abdication under the Prus
sian constitution is to make the crown
prince king of Prussia, and therefore,
until the German empire if formally
dissolved, the German emperor. Last
Thursdays document, therefore, does
not abolish the Prussian monarchy
and still less does it set up the repub-
lie of Prussia That can only be done
by a formal revision of the Prussian
constitution, and until that is carried
out the Prussian monarchy still ex-
lists, according to law"
The abdication of the German
crown prince was expected to be pub
lished today, says the North German
Gazette, the former semi official or
gan, according to advices received
here. The abdication will not concern
his successor, it is added.
Speaking at Bootle last night, An
drew Bonar Law, the chancellor of
the exchequer, confirmed the state
ment that the British government had
decided to press the allies as strongly
as possible that the surrender of for
mer Emperor William should be de-
manded and that he should stand trial.
The chancellor also announced that
the government had appointed a COM
mittee to examine scientifically into
the question of how much the enemy
would be able to pay. The govern
ment would propose such procedure to
the allies and he believed it would be
adopted An inter-allied committee
would then inquire into the whole
question and decide what amount was
obtainable.
Steps would be then taken to secure
its payment.

NEW DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDED FOR
 DEFENSE COUNCIL
Committee on Standardization With Trained Force Is Lat
 est Activity Suggested.

A new department of the activities of the Connecticut State Council of Defense is anticipated in the recon mendations for the organization of Committee on Americanization. The report upon which the recommenda- tions were made concluded with the statement that the time has come for wise, strong and immediate action to preserve American institutions and ideals.
 The organization advised is a com mittee of nine members with a state director, two field agents and one clerk comprising the paid force It is assumed that the offices would be To- cated in the state capitol.
 The fundamentally necessary things in this proposed department are these |:
 1. There has long been a need for such work to be done
 2. The war conditions have empha- sized the need at this time.
 8. The need will continue after the war is over
 f. The work will never be done even half well until bureau is provided to carry 1t on.
 g. The need is such that any reason able expenditure Is amply justified.
 G. To assure the success of such a bureau the right man must be secured as director and given ample support and a reasonable free hand to work out a solution for this great problem of Americanization.

Another "slacker" hen drive Is con- ing. Last year Connecticut set about the job of getting rid of It's "slacker" hens in very businesslike way. R. E. Jones, extension poultryman for the Connecticut Agricultural College, work ing in cooperation with the Connecti- cut Committee of Food Supply, met representative poultrymen from all parts of the state at more than hun dred demonstrations. Mir Jones show ed the poultrymen how they might de tect the "slackers' and discussed best methods for disposing of them.
 Complete figures are available on 75 of these demonstrations, at which a total of 5,756 hens were handled. Ac- cording to the records, these hens laid ! 2,130 eggs during the week previous tC their culling. After taking out of these f1ocks almost half of the hens the re- maining birds produced almost as many eggs as the entire number had pro duced previously. In other words, the feed bill was cut almost il half, witt very slight loss in egg production.
 During the coming months this cam paign is to be repeated with even more yigor and thorough organization. Ar engagements have been made for { demonstration in every town of tht state. A community desiring to hold ,

ST. SWTIHIN'S
 PROGNOS1TCATOR OF WET WEATHER

New York, July 15.---This is St. Swithin's Day.
 St. Swithin's Day, if thou dost rain, For forty days it will remain; St. Swithin's Day, if thou be fair, For forty days twill rain nae mair.
 Such the old time quartrain, re- peated a few hundred years before the truly accurate United States Weather Bureau was established. Of course, everybody who makes um- brellas, raincoats and rubber shoes is praying that the ancient weather pre- diction comes true this year. Some have been bold enough to doubt the forecast The poet Gay remarks: Let not such vulgar tastes debase the mind,
 Nor Paul nor Swithin rules the clouds | and wind.
 St. Swithin, Bishop of Winchester good old man, departed this life A D.; S62. His humility prompted hin to ask that his body be buried outside the Winchester Cathedral, Where tht feet of passersby might tread and the rain of heaven fall on his tomb'' This request was compiled with, ant | his tomb was on the north side of the church, and on it fell the drippings from the caves. There it rested until July Is, 971, his relics were translated with great pomp and ceremony, to z tomb within the church, and again ] about 800 years later, to the then nev Cathedral where they rest now.

Gleaninu a La Ruth.

A Kentucky farmer makes to the Louisville Courier-Journal the sugges- ton that gleaners should go into the wheat fields this summer and gather up every stalk of wheat which the binder has missed. He estimates that ten bushels of wheat, or about two bar rels of flour, would be saved in every 20-acre field.
 The custom has been to turn hogs into the stubble and let them clean up what the harvesters have left. It is suggested that while we are trying to save flour for the prosecution of the war cleaners instead of pigs should follow the harvest, as was the custom in Biblical times.

HYDROPLANE LANDS AT SEASIDE PARK

During the thunder storm yes terday a grey hydro-aeroplane with a tail of red, white and blue and car rying two passengers landed at Sea- side park shortly after five o'clock. There were thousands of onlookers and many questions were shouted to the couple in the plane. The inquisi- tive received no answers however, and after an hours time the plane again ascended and turned in the di- rection of New York. The plane was probably returning from New Lon don, and to avoid a dangerous air pocket in the storm descended into the harbor. One of the passengers was recognized as an officer of the Royal Flying Corps, and the other wore an aviator's brown coat.

SaIjnity Recorder,

An apparatus has recently been an- nounced that will give a continuous record of sea-water salinity by the
 measurement of its electrical conduc- tivity. A pair of electrolytic cells has
 been designed which, when used with
 suitable alternating-c current galvano- meter, will give satisfactory operation i in connection with a recorder. The
 temperature compensation is obtained
 by placing both cells, which are in the
 two arms of a Wheatstone bridge, in
 a uniform temperature bath.-Scientitic | American.

 The characteristics of the "slacker' hen, according to the Poultry Depart ment of the Connecticut Agricultural College, are as follows: Neat, we'll dressed bird with small shriveled pale comb and yellow beaks, shanks and vent. They have rigid pelvic bones that are close together and have the general appearance of a well dressed loafer too dainty to do any real work. The working hen, which is incidentally the profitable hen, shows the effects of her hard work. She is ragged and rough in appearance, has pale shanks, beak and vent and is rustler and a hearty eater, going to bed with a full crop every night and gets up early in the morning looking for something to eat.
 Now is the time" says MT. Jones, "to get ready for the coming campaign to eliminate 'slackers' in the hen yard just as effectively as the draft slack ers' have been eliminated from the state"
