Women desire the privileges Of the

fight the women as they fought other
men, then the women would realize

never be the case. although men might
lose their respect for women and be

Let US hope that may never be. Wo-

CATHOLICS PLANNING
 FIELD MASS MARK
May Be Held in August As
  Memorial to War Martyrs.

If plans now under consideration by local Roman Catholics mature, New Britain will have the most elaborate religious demonstration in the history of the state on the Feast of All Souls in the latter part of August, when it is planned to have a field mass with the united congrega- tions of the churches of that sect in attendance. It is expected that the park commissioners will be ap- preached for permission to build g. Temporary altar in Walnut Hill park for the day. Rt. Rev. Bishop John J. Milan and other representatives from the diocesan headquarters at Hartford will be invited and the male choir of 70 voices from St. Thomas Seminary will be asked to assist.
 It is the plan of those who are fostering the movement to have the affair serve a two-fold purpose. The mass will be offered as a memorial to the soldiers and sailors who gave up their lives during the war and in view of the fact that the Court of Honor and Memorial trees to the deceased veterans are but a few feet from a huge terrace that could be used for the purpose of the field mass. Ait pfiIh lS ptileNGd lO D6 an lOodl place for the demonstration. Several local societies will be asked to assist, including the K. of C., Y. NJ. T. 4. & B., Lady Tabs, A. O. H., L. A. A. O. H.. Isabella Circle, D. of l., Court Columba. ID. of C., Holy Name so- cieties and other church origaniza - tions as we'll as societies of a patriotic nature throughout the city
 The affair will be carried out afong similar lines to the Boston field mass which has been an annual event for many years. Annually, state civic officers and diocesan leaders as well as clergymen from the cities in the vicinity of Boston gather for the event with the congregations of the city.
 Should the plan receive the sanc- tion of the societiss who are to be asked to assist those planning the movement anticipate an attendance al the mass of more than 3O,ooO souls.

 Than in 1918.

New York. June 7.-Estimated earnings of the international Mercan- tile Marine Co. for. 1919 amounted to s24.5s5.SS1. against actual earnings of s17.5Sa,TO4 in 1918. according to the preliminary report issued for publi- cation today.

 These figures represent earnings of steamers directly owned by Interna- tional Mercantile together with re- turns of subsidiaries. which are large ly of British ownership.
 Earnings so far this year are stated to he under the corresponding period of 1919. due 10 lower freight rates. lllhor difficulties and excessive cost of fuel. For the remainder of the year. however. earnings are expected to im- prove. as some of the company's pas senEer. ships have been reconditioncd and restored to their trades.

 Chicago, June 7.-AceSon of the Connecticut delegation at +be rennb- lican national convention is Nr,a++er of conjecture. The probable cA
 of the Nutmeggers in voting foay
 candidate cannot at this moment N forecast with any degree of certainty or probability. The various delegates are keeping their personal opinions to themselves and are circulating at<5ut trying to get in touch with affairs, wondering whether Or. not it i3 best to play Butler until it becoirEs. evil dent just how the land~rl, or to play Lowden from tbzAart as the possible winner. In/some quarters the opinion is ventuked that the Con- necticut vote may split on the first balloting, after opea1ng for Butler.
 Leading members of the Connecti- cut delegations aye of the opinion, it was said last night that John T. iKng is in fo.vor of Senator Johnson, and would conpronise only with Butler.

Thus Far Convention Seems
 Without Strong Leader
TALK TURNS TOWARD HUGHES
First Ballot is Expected to Sbo.' Chances of Johnson. Lovden and Wood With the Low Man Decidedly On the Defensive.

Chicago, June No changes have appeared in the convention lineup and none is expected.
 Twenty hours before the conyen- tion is assembled. ii is an absolute i,- unbossed, unled affair and as the be- wildered delegates mill around the hotel Hobbies bewailing the absence of leadership. the men who were the real leaders in the years gone by. find a grim satisfaction in refeta-ing to the charges of bossism which. were so freely hurled at them at former con- ventions. They are asking delegates if it is. not better to be led than lost
 All the managers look for the first ballot to settle the outlook consider ably for the big three-Johnson, Lowden and Wood. They feel that the candidate who gets the biggest number will have d powerful ad- vantage and the candidate who stands at the bottom of the list will be decidedly on the defensive.
 Dark horse talk was still in the background today and there was a strong undercurrent of Hughes talk Senator Borah of Ida ho one of John sons supporters. hsaid that as yet he was not considering dark horses but that he woui. regard Hughes as a Neisv formidable man. if the dark horse saage was reached.

PRICES ARE CUT.
Jiuey Men Follow Lead Of Big Dept.
 Stores.

The cut in price wave that is sweeping the country has manifested itself in New Britain of late, and critics that have been spending their time feeling the pulse of the move mes arc unanimous in the opinion that the apex has been reached fol- lowing the announcement that two West Main street jitneys lave cut the fare from cents to a nickel in or der to compete with the six cents on the trolley and various other jitneys. The cut came last Saturday afternoon in time 10 appeal to the bargain hunting public and the result was a crowded machine every trip.
 Up until early afternoon today there were many other machines running at the olG-time rate of six cents but it is expected that there will he a conference of jitney drivers in the near future to try and secure a uniform rate.
