United SUITES Senator From California
The New Year opens fraught with
the most momentous possibilities.
Victory has crowned our arms. The
worlds war is over. but the worlds
peace has just begun. Unless there
grows out Of this interesting situa-
ton an organization to prevent war
and capable Of harmonizing the diff
ferences which will naturally arise
between competitive commercial ma
lions. the fruits Of victory and sacri-
hce VIII consist, apart from the de-
struction OF German autocracy. Of the
acquisition Of restored territory by
some Of the bcIligerents. and the seeds
Of conflict will still remain in the
ground. Therefore. ! am disposed to
believe that our first business is TO
insure permanent peace by crafty
ing the racial and national aspirations
Of the smaller countries who have JUS
ticc. but not power TO recommend their
claims. For this purpose. there must
be organized representative league
Of nations, backed BY the public SEN
timent of the world. TO hold in check.
just as does civil society. the preda :
tory instincts and evil passions OF men.
The question is: are we equal to it. or
are we worthy of it? Has not the
curse of Cain been expiated?

 FOR TIDAL LANDS

Twelve decisions were handed down by the supreme court at New Haven yesterday, five concerning cases with origin in New London county four from Fairfield and three from New Havep. Error was found in three and in the remaining nine the rulings of the trial court were upheld.
 In the case of John A. Barri against the Schwarz Brothers Go. and others. a suit to determine the rights of the respective parties to certain mud flats and to settle the title thereto, tried by the superior court in Fairfield county before Judge Warner, in which facts were found and judg- ment rendered in favor of the plain tiff, from which some of the defend- ants appealed, no error was found in the opinion by Chief Justice Prentice in which all concur.
 No error was found in the case of Paouin, Ltd, against John c. West ervelt of Ridgef1eld. for the recovery for rnerchaidise sold and delivered to the wife of the defendant, brought to the superior court in Fairfield county and tried before Judge Haines. judgment being given for the plain tiff, and from which the defendant apepaled. The opinion was written By Justice Wheeler, in which Jus tices Roraback and Gager concurred, Chief Justice Prentice and Justice Beach concurring in the result.
 The plaintiff is an English corpor- alton located in London, England, and sues the defendant for wearing apparel sold to his wife while she was temporarily in London, the pur- chases having been charged to her account. The opinion finds that the re1a tionship of husband and wife creates a status, and one of the incl dents is the obligation to pay for SUD- port under the terms of the statute, and to make the place of use test of lia bility would place a construction upon the statute which would shift the incidents of the marriage status according to the accident of locality, while the parties all the time re- mained residents of this state.
 In the case of Jennie c. Barnes and others against George A. Upham. an action on four promissory notes brought to and tried before the su- perior court in Fairfield county be- fore Judge Curtis, in which iudg- ment was given the plaintiff on the first, tihrd and fourth counts, and for thea defendant on the second count. the opinion finding no erro, was written by Justice Beach, all concurring, Justice Gager, however. only in the result.
