Good Explanation.

After looking over a vacant house
with his parents, Willie, aged six,
heard them discussing the rooms. All
the rooms were immense and rather
dark, with the exception of the din
ing room, which was very small and
naturally lighter than the others. Will
lie said :"Yes, guess the dining room
was the lightest because it was closest
to the windows"

MUST GIVE DISCHARGE
 TO NAVAL RESERVISTS
Failure of Congress to Pass Appropriation Bill Com-
 Dels Such Action.

Washington, April 4.-Because of the failure of congress to enact the naval appropriation bill with it's pro- vision for an increased. naval person. nel, virtually all members of the naval reserve force on active duty must be released immediately upon the decla- ration of peace.
 In making this announcement to- day, the navy department said that because of this fact and of the great need of officers due both to the con- tinuing activities of the navy and the shortage of regular officers, it would be inadvisable generally to accept the resignation of officers of the tempo rary navy.
 Many of these officers have asked to be relieved from duty so as to return to civil life, but attention was called by the department to the fact they are under obligation to perform active duty With the navy for a period of not later than six months after the termination of the war. It was an- nounced, however, that resignations of such officers would be accepted as additional officers were made or ap- pointed in the temporary or perma- nent naval force.
 "Our troops abroad must be brought home." said the departments announcement. "and they must be fed and provided for over there before they come home. Our associates in the war still require food and provi- visions To do this work, the navy today is operating 110 troop trans ports and 220 cargo carriers. The temporary officers of the navy are making this work possible because the department can count upon holding them for six months after peace is signed"
 The regular navy is bu<~ keeping the fighting forces on edge, the re- servists are going out fast and will be obliged to go as soon as peace is sign ed. which will leave the bulk of the temporary officers available and nec- essary to transport and provision our troops lover there" Adjustments in personnel are quickly being made with this end in view.

MANCHESTER MURDER.
 CASE GOES. TO JURY
Judge Warner Gives Charge to Jury, Explaining That All Engaged
 Must Be Principals.

Hartford, April At 11:45 o'clock this forenoon the jury in the criminal superior court retired to consider a verdict in the case of the five men charged With murder in the first de- gree in the killing of Captain William F. Madden, Watchman at the Cheney Silk Mills in Manchester on the night of January 30. The accused are William Bessler, Fred Klein, John Neuss, Michael Mcdonnell and Will liam $. Miller.
 Judge Donald T. Warmers charge to the jury occupied an hour and a half. file told them that although the five prisoners were indicted together, a separate finding and verdict must be returned in the case of each. With regard to the contention of one of the counsel for the defense that the fatal shot might have been fired ac- cidentalIy because of a, scuffle between Madden and one of the occupants of the automobile, Judge Warner said the shooting under such circumstances could not be accidental. He also made reference to the statute by which every man engaged in the commission of es crime is considered a principal
