ODD CHOICE OF "LooT"
5aiIors Had Little limo to Select, and Result Showed Wide Diver
 pence of Ideas.

What would you take if 8 great many of the choicest goods of the world were spread before you and you had approximately a half hour to load yourself with legitimate loot?
 This problem came before British sailors whose destroyer had answered the call of distress of a torpedoed liner. The ship was sinking slowly. It had been hit by two torpedoes and could not possibly be saved. The for ward bulk-heads still held, and if was certain that q half hour remained for the destroyer's boarding party and the liners crew to remain aboard and help themselves"
 This is what happened:
 One sailor took a knife, fork and spoon of the liners best silver
 An assistant paymaster, who writes a diary in odd hours, took four bun dies of typewriter paper,
 l petty officer spent the entire half hour trying to remove a handsome clock in the upper-deck dining salon, but came away empty-handed.
 A cook took a carving knife
 Another cook took an easy Cna1F.
 4 petty officer took an armful of fine table linen for his mother.
 Many sailors took blankets.
 The ships crew were content with their own personal kit
 In addition to usual articles in q liners dining salons and cabins, there were automobiles on board, victrolas, v,yop0s end a ro,1rcaysfc safe nf the 19tpSf model. However, nobody seemed to want them, and they Eent down with the ship.

HUNS FOR WAR
 SAYS GARLTCk

''E.very German was as strong for war and world domination as the Kaiser and his war lords,'' writes Ut EarI F. Garliclk, with the American Army of Occupation in Germany, to his uncle, Herbert Garlick of thls city.
 It. Garliclz is a son of Dr. S M Ca rlick, local medical examiner. He states in his letter that he Is just re covering from an attack of the flu and that he is anxious to return home.
 It. G4arlick says that the Germans are well fed and have plenty Of clothes There has been a great deal of exaggeration in the reports of the economic conditions in Germany land other European countries, and l find that with the exception of cer- tain kinds of food. particularly fats, they are getting plenty to eat They are we'll clothed, too, and to all ap- pearances enjoying the same degree of comfort as the people of the United States
 The writer does not believe the Germans are beaten and ready to oqlit he says. They are an arrogant lot and not to be trusted in matters that concern the peace of Europe or
 ll1e world. The German nation is as

To read some of the anti-CuIn- minEs propa ganda now being releas- ed from time to time one would al most think that Fairf- i'd County had actually closed the criminal courts and abdiCated in favor of crime. I wonder if ft ever occurs to any one that every term of the court is pre- sided over by a. judge of the Superior court and that all court procedure is passed upon and carried along un- der such authority.
 Another thought occurs to me. Ur- der some administra tions of the of flee of States Attorney that I might name. if l chose to do so. the office has been used to build up a political machine and to endOw political ia vorites. I think all will agree that that is not true of MT. Cummings ad- mintstrauon. Again and again, when he has been called upon to suggest the appointment Of some local attor- uey for the defense of an accused in an important case, he has always eX- ercised his judgment ir favor of some one exactly suited to the situation re gardIess of political affiliations. call to mind the fact that the present . city attorney. a republican, and a for mer republican judge of the city court have frequently been called upon. ! Every one, I think, coming in con tact with this office has received fair and considerate treatment.
 ! As to Mir. Cummings ability. there 1 at least, Is common ground Even i his political enemies admit his mark l ed abilities for his present office. MT. 1 Cummings was chosen as States At ! torney by the judges of the superior and supreme courts after presumably a careful review of the situation He i has justified the choice As a, trial | lawyer before the jury. so irnporta T [ l in the conduct of the office of States | Attorney, no one will honestly Ques-
 ton his superiority. The brilliant | conviction obtained by MT. Cummings l in the case of State vs. Fair Is res.dily called to mind. The conviction of 1 second degree murder in the case of State vs Louis 3onJon. a recent case,
 was q surprise to all and a. remarka- ble trial and result. Out of all the cases tried by MT Cummings while States Attorney, I can recall but two acqutttals. And so on the whole ir
 fairness to all I really think it is about time that the facts of this situ-
 alton were disclosed and a word said l to caution people about the nature o1
 She present political attack upon MT 1 Cummings made apparently without
 regard to he true situation and in the
 nature of I purely political assault

Au+omoaiiea in Canada.

Tn 1914 the number of automobiles in Canada was 67,415, increasing to 180,- 32O in 1917. It is estimated that the number of cars in use at the close of the present year will be approximately 250,000. With an estimated population of 5000, ,0O0 this gives q proportion of one car for every thirty-two inhabi- tants, as against one for every 11S in hsbitants four years ago. Statistics have been compiled showing the occu- pations Of car owners throughout the country, and from this 1t is apparent that about 90 per cent of all the cars in use are owned by persons whose occupations are such that the autono- bile in their hands is utility enabling them to do more and better work. Nearly one-half of the cars In use are the property of farmers.

SENTIMENT IN THE TRENCHES
Soldiers Reason for Net Shooting Hare Was a Decided Reflection
 on the Hun.

This tale comes from a soldier who was one of the first Tanks to reach the front:
 4 big, burly, good-humored chap was with me on outpost duty and we were l, :ng listening in 8 wood where there were several clumps of underbrush in oar neighborhood. We were think ing of another move forward when we spted a large French hare running straight toward us. He was coming as directly as possible away from the enemy lines.
 Although there was no attack from either side In progress at that mo- ment, the desultory rattle of some machine gun and the oecs sionaI crack of q rife rendered 1t safe to try a shot at any object without fear Of discovery.
 Hit him or I win.7 said I. "Don't t shoot" was the answer, the poor beggar thinks he has a better chance for life coming over to es than he has going in the Huns direction"
 That bit of sentiment knocked me cold and could not stir the trigger. The hare disappeared in the under brush and I felt convinced that his sympathies were with us. It would have been a different story had it been the spiked cap of a Roche we had sighted.

MANY CARILL0Ns WERE SAVED
P Famous Bella of Belgium Not All De- stroyed by Hun RaVages of
 the Country.

Thinking of peace memorials, the United States will be the richer for the possession of carilICns. those gi- gantic bell-pianos, as they might be csiY!ea, for which Belgium was, and happily can still be famous. Many of her carillons, with from 3S to g bells, ranging from little ones that weigh only a few pounds to big ones of six or seven tons, were destroyed by shell fire or enemy spoliaticn, but some of the best have survived uninjured. The bells of Iseghem were taken away by kbe Germans, and recaptured and brought back by the British. The cariuon of Malines survived in a tow CT that was seven times hit by artil- Iery; but the Keyboard was smashed from which Josef Benyn, one of the greatest bell-masters in the world, bravely rang out the national airs of Belgium while the invaders were get ting ready to enter the town. And now the cartlIon of Malines can re- sume It's interrupted weekly concerts, one of which. just before the war, is said to have had an audience of at least 30.0QO.

CUMMINGS HAS
 DONE VERZ WE'LL
 AS STATES ATTY.
tcort,nued from Page One)

Be that as tt may, however, l. is gall and wormNood and poisonous -.5 Co think, that Homer s, Cum nings, Stamford, States Attorney, albeit a democrat should have the au5icity to aspire and hold high of lice in the ranks of the Democratic party. Of course. I appreciate fully -ne fact that Mir. Cummings is a dem oere+. and that the two gentlemen who previously held the office of States Attorney, that J have refer red ta. were Republicans, and per hans therein lies the distinction and difference in tie two cases.
 The only true criticism of MT. Cum 1niugs as far as I can sae is perhaps the fact. that he does so many big things and does them all so well.
 As an observer and participant in the conduct of criminal procedure in this county for many years, in the courts l think l am perhaps in position to pass 8 fair. anad hope impartial, judgment upon the conduct 0f the office of States Attorney while the same has been under the Jurisdiction uf Mir. Cummings. It would seem that MT. Cummings in g. brief period of office has. brought inc conduct of business to a high state of efficiency.
 The business of disrosinE of cr5u1- irs7I cases in this county has in creased enormously in rn"ent years due probably to the proximity crf Bridgeport and Fairfield county to New York and again to the unsettled conditions generally existing. In spite of that fact the criminal bus mess of the county has been disposed of in at least one-third of the time formerly required and with much hot ter results. Where formerly the ses~ eions of the court were dragged out week after week often running into each other at an enormous expense, sometimes actually threatening to ex- hauryt the appropriation for the coun- ty. now all court business is promptly disposed of and with most excellent results both from the standpoint of inc state and of that Of the unfortu- mates with whom the court Is called upon to deal.

Negro Soldier Tells Amusing Story of His Game of Leap Frog "AlI
 OVah France"

The inferno of hot work in the line evoked the religious fervor of negro troops, which never is far from the surface, and this aspect of the fighting still occupies a prominent place in the recollection of wounded negro soldiers returning to this country.
 "When Fritz spotted us hell bus wide open an tu'n all dem onregenret fellers Into ragin' prayeh meeting" said a sergeant. "Den we onlimbeh en smite or Satan wtd de swo'd O Gideon; dem Fritzies, dey jes' skedad- dle ev'y witch ways"
 Private Charles Walker of the Five Hundred and Seventieth infantry, a "ragin' prayeh meetin'" of one, was cited for his devotion to duty In car rying messages under fire when all the other runners of his outfit had been killed or wounded.
 "I jes' kep' a-prayin' an a-runnin' an a-dodgIn'," he said, "sn' the Lord sure kep' step wId me, but don't see how he done it. jes' natchully played hide aT seek. en leap frog wid shells all ovah France, I reckon.

UnpopuiaF Job.

Few persons were desirous of quail flying for the task of destroying 24, 900 pounds of dynamite and other high ex- plosives, stored until recently In an abandoned magazine. The unpopular tty of the job was increased by the fact that 8 previous attempt to burn the explosives had resulted in detona- tions so violent that the experiment. CTS fled. Finally an expert was en- ployed who carefully opened each box with a wooden wedge and mallet and examined the contents. In most cases he found that the material could be destroyed by dumping it on the ground saturahng it with oil, and then lighting it with a fuse that per mitted withdrawal before explosions took place.

Had Imitation Submarine Target

The skill with which the American gunners frustrated the attacks of U- boats was due. in q large measure, to the use of an ingenious target for gun practice during the voyages, asserts a writer in Popular Mechanics Maga- zine. The device consisted of a frame work, about 30 feet long and five feet wide, built to be drawn through the water. with an imitation coming tow or and periscop mounted on the upper side It was drawn behind the ship by means of two cables attached one above the other. By pulling on the upper one, the upper side of the frame was made to project forward, causing the target to rise to the surface, while, by pulling on the lower cable the de vice would quickly submerge. Officers out of sight of the gunners manipu- lated the apparatus, frequently chang ing the range by paying out or taking in the cables.

An echo of the German sea raid erz comes from the South Pacific. There on the coast of Lord Howe is- land lies the wreck of the Seead1er, of Atlantic fame two years ago, Accord ing 10 reports, the raider is to be sold by auction by the French gov ernment. Though her hull Is badly damaged the Seeadler's engines are in good condition, and there is also a large quantity of hawsers, tanks, and other equipment. The famous raider was at one time the barque Pass of Balmaha, of 1,571 tons. After her cap ture by the Germans the latter fitted her out with powerful Diesel oil en- zines of 120 horsepower.

AsphoaeI as souree of Alcohol.

The asphodel, which contains much starch in it's tubers, grows as a com mon weed (porrazzo) in many parts of Italy-in fact it has been called "the plague of the Mediterranean" At one time it was cultivated as 8 source of industrial spirit but owing to diff cultfes in the rectifcation the culture was abandoned. If these difficulties could be overcome Italy would be able to considerably increase her home SUD- ply of spirit.

BAD FIRE IN
 CHICAGO MOTEL
Damage Estimated at S5O,- 000-Thought No Lives
 Were Lost.

Chicago, March Half a dozen women tainted as many others were overcome by smoke and these with nearly 225 men and women employees of tne Morrison hotel were assisted down fire escapes early today when fire broke out in a. five-story brick annex used as a dorrnftory for eIn- ployes. Those overcome by smoke were carried into the hotel drug store and were soon revived.
 The 1,5Co auestS of the hotel To- cated at the southeast corner of Clark and Madison streets were aroused and told to leave the structure as a pre- cautionary measure. The fire did not reach the hotel proper however, being confined with the annex on the Clark street side. The fourth and fifth floors were burned before the blaze was brought under control. The damage was estimated at $5O,0OO. Two maids were reported missing but secI'ch disclosed no bodies.
