Dr. Taylor, Allied Investigator,
 Paints Black Picture
MILITARISM IS NOT DEAD
Germans Becoming RussiaIlizcd- BurcaucratS in EVidcncc-MOTale of Country at Low Ebb--Dcath Rate Increases AIarmingIy.

Paris, Feb. 21 (By The Associated Press. )-''The German government IS the same bureaucratic regime of the kaiser's day with the same attltuoe toward labor and capital and does not represent the forces which caused 'Ile revolution" says Dr. AlOnzo E. 1a!lol, food specialist, who has just fc-url'eu from Germany, where he mace eAleu- sive investi gations in behalf ot the supreme food relief council.
 Germans Getting RussianiZcd.
 Count von Bernstorff is in charge of American affairs d. the foreign office, and the bureaucrats of the old school are in evidence everywhere he added. The Germans are becom- ing Russ!anized. They are afraid to put untried men into the service and' consequently, they tolerate the old order of things"
 PrOpagandiSts Arc Busy.
 German propa gandists, pr. Taylor found, favor tho League of Nations and are filing the newspapers with articles saying Prosidenc Wilson $ doctrines should be considered as having become effective on the day the armistice was signed and should have been interpreted as leaving AL sace and Lorraine in German hands.
 NiIitarism Not Dead.
 The German army has apparently disorganized and demo mObil:zed for the moss part, Dr. Taylor says, but he be- lieves it will be possible for we'll organized bureaucracy to restore mil1- tarism if it is deemed desirable. Many Germans believe they will recover their battleships and merchant fleet and do not expecs to give up any ter ritory, and, in pr. Taylor's opinion, a grave political upheaval is probable with the signing of the treaty of peace.
 Good Pay for Unemployed.
 The present Hull is regarded as un- natural by Dr. Taylor who says 1t was possibly created by the payment of large indennities to unem ployed rorsona and by suspending action on all questions vital to the future of tho nation. Unemployed men in BerI:n are paid eght marks a day, while railway workers and Street-cleanC get only six marks daily. Consequently, the men prefer to remain idle.
 Morals of Country Gone.
 Plays so immoral that they would have been prohibited under the i'm peria1 regime now are tolerated; thieving is prevalent, footing is com mon and the general public morale IS very low, Dr. Taylor remarks He says the food situation is critical and that| in spite of the great reduction made in raI.ions, the nation cannot live until next harvest unless supplied by outside powers.
 Death Rate Increased.
 The death rate has increased, es- .pociauy among children between five and 15 years of age, children under two years faring better than the rest through the self-sacritice of their m others. Lack of fuel and raw ma- terials has closed virtually all indus tries and the railroads are hampered because they have little coal. Labor conditions are so bad at the coal mines that there is little prospect of an in- crease in the fuel output.

BOrah Attacks League.

Washington, Feb 21-Senator Bo- rah of Idaho republican member of the foreign relations committee, de- livered in the senate today his prom rah of Idaho, republican member of nations and referred the most radical departure from our poIi- cies that we have ever considered"
 Statement made by Former Presi- dent Taft that the proposed League of Nations did not con,travene with Washingtons doctrine against engag- ing in entangIing alliances with for eign countries, or with the Monroe Doctrine, were declared by Senator Borah to be Ito the utmost degree misleading"
 Wants People Consulted.
 The people of the United States have the undoubted right he said, ito change their form of goverpm ent and to srenounce rheir esta blished pal- icies whenever they see fit. I would not oppose any change in an orderly fashion as may meet with the ap- proval of the people at any time. believe, however, that whenever that radical departure from established policies is proposed, the people ought to be consulted"
 Senator Borah also declared that before any action was taken upon the question it should be referred to a vote of the people of this country.

 TT believe" he said, that this pro- posed program, to be made operative and effective under the constitution, makes it necessary to change our con- stitution Certainly those questions ought to be submitted to a vote of the people.

 Constantinople, founded by Con stantine the Great, in 33O A. D., and to which he gave his name, was the capital of the Roman Empire in the East for eleven centuries, from 33O to 145S A. D. when the Ottoman ar mics, the Mohammaden power, flung itself over the walls after a fiery seize, and was welcomed by Chris tians.
 For the streets of Constantinople had run red with factions fighting against factions during centuries. Santa Sophia, once the most glorious cathedral of Eastern Christendom, and now a mosque of Islam, has been ankle-deep in blood.
 Bishops have had Bishops behead- ed, and their heads tied to dogs tai and dragged through the streets What is to become of Constanti- nopIe-once the seat of great Ecu menical Councils, of the sins ana | splendor of emperors, and of the Turks sinister magnifcence.

 I felt tired out before I started the day. r seemed like a night mare of months duration I was completely run down. Once a friend told me about CINOT and I promised to try a bottle. I put 1t off but con- tinued to think about it. Finally in desperation I purchased a bottle.
 To date I have taken three bot ties and just want to say that they have made a new man out of me. It seems as though I nave been born all over again. I never feel tired anymore.

CONSTANTINOPLE IS KEY TO
 GREAT TRADE

The prize of the world is Constan- tinople. The nation that rules Com stantinoplo controls practically the trade of Europe and Asia Patheti- cally today, and at the Peace Con ference, this pearl of cities on the Bosphorus, pleaded that Unc1e Sam be her mandatory" Uncle sam re- fused-a mistaken movement for Uncle Sam, some believe. The lion of England Is cautiously sliding forward toward Constantinople.
 Its immense history awes the most flippant. Today we commemorate the conflagration of 1S33-August 29th-in which three miles of the city were destroyed, and O,OO0 of its inhabitants perished. The capital of the Turkish Empire is enthroned like Rome, upon seven hills. The ma jesty of its location is unique upon earth. The promomtery has the sea of Marmora on the south, the Bay ot the Bosphorus, which forms ths magnificent harbor called the Golden Horn, on the North, and only a miIs across it's waters, is Asia.

LEAkINS WHO
 SERVED HERE HAS RE-ENLISTED

Information has been received at the local army recruiting station, s25 Main street, from Colonel B. P. clicklin, chief of this recruiting dis trict that John A. Leakins, of 12T4 Park Ave. Bridgeport, was accepted for enlistment yesterday at the army recruiting. station, Springfield, Mass. He enlisted in 1898 as a private in the 18th Infantry, was sent to Porto Rico and won certificate of merit (which corresponds to the present distinguished service cross) at the battle of San Juan Hill. During the Spanish War he also served in Cuba and was in number of skirmishes in the Philippines. He remained in the Philippine Islands for seven years which gave him so much double time that in eleven more months he will retire from the army with pay and allowances amounting to nearly seventy dollars per month. When one considers that this is equal to interest on investment of over $13,0O0 this is an income that any man might be
 proud of, and there are few men in
 civil life who can retire at the age
 of 43 with similar income.
 For several years prior to the out break of the war, he served under Colonel Mercer in the Connecticut recruiting district in charge of the Bridgeport recruiting office. He at- tended the second Plattsburgh train 1 ing camp, won a commission as 2nG Lieutenant of Infantry, and later was | transferred to the air service as a ground officer. He served at Camp Stanley, Leon Springs, Tex, and three months overseas. He has just been ! discharged at Mineola, and has been re-enlisted in his old grade of ser | geant. He will be on duty at the main office In Springfield. Mass.

GIVE US JAZZ PERSKINC ASKED
 AT K-C DANCE
A. E. E. Commander Want ed Things Livened
 Up.

If any of the leaders of Society are figuring on furnishing a program in extenso of heavy classical music at receptions for Gen. John J. Pershipg upon his arrival in this country around Sept. 10th, and in the festive days to follow they had better change the schedules. The American com mander is a devotee of the ragtime hurley burley and the eccentric jazz music. Just how much the "Vet- cram of the A. E. F. loves jazz is revealed by Edgar A. Sharpe, of Patchogue, L. l., who is a Knights of Columbus secretary in England
 Upon the occasion of the Victory Pa rade in London, according to Secre- tary Sharpe, the "Caseys' arranged for large reception which was held at the Hotel Savoy grand ballroom.
 Gen. Pershing was the guest of the evening and made things hum, danc- ing with the sweethearts and lady friends of the American doughboys, who had marched in the giant spec tacle. The program was heavily
 charged with the classical pieces When Pershing was called upon for speech, he declared he had en- joyed K-C cigarettes and chocolate. but not K-C music. Let's have some American jazz and ragtime," plead ed the General. There is too much classical music here this evening. We want jazz" His idea was ap- proved by a mighty shout from the crowd. The bewiIdered orchestra leader from then on played:
 Katy" The Alcoholic Blues,' and I've Don't Want the Bacon, All We Want is a Piece of the Rhine 9 Later the General said he was in fla vor of that particular kind of music because it made armies do great things and grasp Victory.

It is quite a sensation to think that death is staring you in the face and that there is nothing that you can do but calmly await the coming of the Grim Reaper to guide you on your way over the River Styx- And it is a still greater sensation to all of a sudden find that you have been wor- rying for nothing and that you have not only missed the Grim Reaper but are a well man again.
 This is what John Lucas of sS Warehouse street of Bridgeport found. He had been suffering very much. rheumatism was driving him mad. poor digestion and all. made life a reign of misery and that 1t all could end seemed a blessing to him. CINOT did the trick and this is Mir. Lucass story:

Set right into the unbelieving twentieth century, is the heart of Q great man The subject of Rich ard Struss notorious opera, Salome, is the beheading of John tho Baptist. The opera scandahzed gay Now York. The composer in his libretto, prob ably followed a true story.
 John, the Baptist, the forerunner of Christ, was beheaded in A D. 30. This is history. He was be- headed at tho request of the most diplomatic, and tho shrewdest woman in a fix, who ever saw a fine chance and sprans to it It is set down in history that a woman, and a disso- lute woman at that-made better use dn immediate and Quick-witted action of a supreme opportunity than many a noble and virtnous woman John the Baptist, whose career shining as lightning Is told in Holy Scripture, entered upon his path by denuncia- tions, tho most tremendous that could be imagined of the era in which he lived. Herod's Court at Jerusalem was corrupt to the reelSins core; moreover. Herod had taken his brother Philips wife, and named her Herodias, as a delicate compliment. The news had reached John the Bap-

And Herod covered But a wave of his hand 10 his minions-and John was ove-powered, bound, and cast into the loathsome dungeon of the Herodian period It happened that Saqomc the beautiful daughter Of He rodias, had sesn John. and an ex- pllcable passion had been reused in the soft dancer for the stern man of the blazing eyes She even offered herself to him
 But the Saint repeIied her, with his severe fulInInarions- Herod's birth day came.

 "One hundred and flfty-six of us were placed under arrest in July, 1914" he said. There was no proof that I was in sympathy with the Ju- go-SIav propaganda, but the authori- ties suspected what was in my heart Sixteen of the men arrested at thai time were condemned to death. The death penalties were not executed because of the remonstrance by the King of Spain, but the prison sen tences were all made effective.
 q went to prison on July 26 1914. My cell was a small one--- a mere cage, and I was kept at hard labor. In october of. 1918, the people of Bosnia a-Herzegovina, as in othel Jugo-Slav provinces of the Austrian Empire, anticipated the debacle ot the empire, and organized a Nationa Council for the conduct of affairs.
