characted who should not be trusted
or taken seriously at any time.
Postmaster General Reagan, who
was with Mr.. Davis's party at the
time, gives the following account of
his capture in his memoirs, pub
lished several years ago. Mr.. Rea-
gan says:
,"He was made a prisoner of war.
AS one of the means of making the
Confederate cause odious, the fool
ish, and wicked charge was made that
he was captured in woman's clothes
and his portrait showing him in pet
ticoats was afterward placarded gen.
orally in showcases and public places
in the north. He was pictured as
having bags of gold on him when he
was captured. The charge of his be-
ing arrested in woman's clothes is
disproved by the circumstances at
tending his capture. The suddenness

clothes. I saw him a few minutes
after his surrender, wearing his &C
customed suit of grey with his boots
and hat on and 1 have elsewhere
shown that he had no money"
Mr.. Davis in his book, "The Rise
and Fall of the Confederacy,' writes:
GAS it was quite dark in the tent,
I picked up what was supposed to be
my raglan waterproof light over
coat, without sleeves; it was subse-
9uently found to be my wife's, 80 very
like my own as to be mistaken for it;
as I started my wife thoughtfully
threw over my head and shoulders a
shawl. I had gone perhaps fifteen or
twenty yards when a trooper gallop-
ed up and ordered me to halt and
surrender, to which I gave defiant
answer, and dropping the shawl and
raglan from my shoulders, advanced
toward him.
Regarding accounts of his capture,
which reflected upon his courage,
President Davis wrote that they were
"all the spawn of a malignity which
shames the civilization of the age"
It is interesting to recall that Jeffer-
son Davis, president of the Confed-
eracy, and Alexander H. Stephens,

Every day we see accounts OF the
last survivor of the battle of Balak'

actual accounts there must have been

were only six hundred.

The item was evidently sent out
by telegraph from New York, but
we are very much surprised that any
such news paragraph should get a
right of way on the wires. Of course
we can understand and, in the con-
slant dripping of news items from
the telegraph instrument, such a
paragraph might find the light from
busy office.
Several of the soldiers who partici-
pated in the capture of Jefferson Da-
Wis have denied the oft-repeated tale
that he "was dressed in woman's at

was an invalid and in the chill of the
early morning, Mrs. Davis pinned
around his shoulders her shawl as
her husband emerged from the tent
Upon this slender foundation grew
up the stories of the disguise. We
can see why the effort was made by
northern papers at the time to SLAM

however, and that the officer who re-

THE ROAD TO NEW BRITAIN.

The movement 10 have signs placed 10 guide traffic in and out of this city is the first step in a direction which, fl followed to its logical conclusion, would do much to advertise New Britain and bring people to this clty' especially those who travel by motor car Tn order to get the full benefit of the idea, however, the city should zee to it that similar signs are placed far from the city directing motorists here as they are directed to other important cities of the state. Pos sibly only those who have had occa- sion to make use of these signs, Tn touring, appreciate the good impress sion they give of city which mas signs directing people to it. Travel CTS do not stop to figure out who IS responsible for the placing of those signs. The city gets the beneht of the convenience and the resultant advertising, to say nothing or lhe advantage of the patronage Of the people who come to that city more or less influenced by the signs.
 If some private organization volun- teers to take over the trouble and expense of placing such signs, as sug- gested by Mayor Paonessa to the Lions club, the city would be saved the expense and would be indebted to that organization. But if no organi- zation so volunteers the city itself would make paying investment if 1t should have those signs placed at least before another spring.

 efficiency, no progress, no desire to
 be up and doing on that isle. Such is the result Of wasting the hours,
 They these people of Tnbuai, have carried the argument against day light saving to the extreme. simi- larly we might do the same. Sup pose. through atmospheric changes, the time should come when the sun rose" over this part of the world about midnight according to our standard time which few people still insist is Gods time" and which. like the laws of the Medes and Per sans. must not be changed From midnight until midnight there would be light over all the world. The day light savers would insist that we should take advantage of that light and go to work even though the clock said midnight, while the dear old obiectors to daylight saving time would wake up, perhaps, with the rising of the sun but would turn over again in bed and sleep all through the first seven hours of daylight because the old grandfather's clock, still ticking on gently under standard o'clock, the time they usually rose and went to work. Probably a little vacation on the lazy isle of Tubuai would be the sort of vacation Stand ard Timers would thoroughly enjoy.

A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK.

Today for the first time it may be settlement of the Near East matter. temporarily at least, is brighter, If . any outlook may be called bright that includes satisfaction for the Turk. Even here may be seen a ray of sum- shine. Yesterday the reports had it that Renal refused to extend the time for the evacuation of those who would be deported if they were out of the suburbs of Smyrna. Now they have until October eighth, and sim ultaneously comes the news that an American ship has arrived with an additional relief unit and 5000 loaves of bread. The Turkish gendarmes are turning refugees over to the American relief committee and the some 5000 Armenians from the Chesme peninsula. Great good will 
 Many will be saved from forcible ban ishment into the interior under the guard of the Turks.
 The Greeks do not want to give up Eastern Thrace and the fear now is that they, having enjoyed a breath ing spell, will make some move which will precipitate war again. kemal has recently evinced the common sense for which he was given credit here. He sees the advantage of stop ping now and getting much of what he was after. The world is holding its breath until the word comes that full agreement has been reached at the Mudania conference. That settlement will not be satisfactory to all people. No settlement of the Near East question can be satisfactory to all. But it will be better than the breaking out of war, in which event not only would those who are in dan- ger now suffer but millions of others as well. War would but bring a postponing of the time when Near Eastern atrocities must cease because of the pressure of public world opinion which is. today, stronger than all other forces.

INDIFFERENT TO TIME.

Now has been found a place where objectors to daylight saving time would be happy. It is the isle of Tubuai about 200 miles south of Tahiti where, to quote a news dis patch, "the popular dream of a lan- guid, lazy South Sea existence really comes true" according to the scientist who has just returned from two years investigation of the origin of the Polynesian race.
 Needless to say, on that isle, they would not mind even though the sun should be shining in the heavens for hours while they, the populace, re- mained at rest. Make hay while the sun shines is utterly beyond their comprehension. They are ut- eerly indifferent to the progress of the outside world. They eat, sleep, gussip and go fishing and are happy. There, indifference to the golden Aours" Is the creed. The scientist eutplAins how the delay of week in
