II. S. AstOunded;
Will Mean Worst
Crisis Since War
BY A. L. BRADFORD
United Precs Staff COrreSnonde

WASHINGTON, Nov. l5-Francc
is considering seizure of the great
German port of Hamburg to force
Germany to deliver the former
crown prince, accoring to an official
report which reached informed dip
lomatic quarters here today.
This information, which is under.
stood to reflect directly the attitude
of Premier Poincarc of France, was
to the effect that if the support of
Great Britain cannot be obtained to
such drastic action against Ger
many, France will proceed alone.
The report today brought the first
confirmation on official authority
of the rumor circulated in Europe
that France was planning the dras-
tic move of selling Hamburg.
Washington has been astounded
at this news. Some diplomatic cir
cles here have expressed the belief
that should France seize Hamburg q
crisis of the first magnitude might
be developed between France and
Great Britain because of the large
British trade with that port.
PARIS, Nov. 15.--The ambassa
doris conference representing the
principal allied powers, disagreed to-
day on what to do about the return
of the crown prince to Germany: -
The meeting. adjourned to meet
again Saturday.
LONDON, Nov. 15.-Dntch diplo-
matte officials believe the return of
the Kaiser to Germany from his
refuge in Holland is not only posi-
BILE but probable, dispatch to the

OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN

When printing was invented people
were given chance 10 learn OF mat
tors formerly out of their sphere.
When the stage coach was replaced
by the railroad train, people Travelled
greater distances, OF course, and he
came familiar with peoples whom
they might never have seen had the
stage coach remained the only means
OF transportation, Affairs of tho coun-
try were discussed more freely, and
the characteristics OF people living at
a distance were taken into account
when considering laws TO govern them
because legislators, more Travelled,
better educated by association with
strangers, II you will. knew better the
thoughts OF those strangers and their
customs
In state like Connecticut, for in
stance, man or woman might once
have been excused for being COM
paratively ignorant of the habits and
customs and manner OF life OF people
living at a great distance from them.
They were to be excused for a certain
narrowness because of their inability
to get about and learn to know others
living In distant localities.
Today there are comparatively few
geographical limitations. The auto
mobile has made neighbors out of
people who years ago considered
themselves isolated from the rest of
the people of the state, or neighboring
states, 1t is nothing, today, for
whole family to take a little automo-
bile drive which covers in day
hundred or more miles. In the space
of few days the whole state may be
visited thoroughly. This situation i'm
poses upon lis a responsibility to make
the most of this opportunity. Such
trips may mean only pleasure, with
nothing more substantial. There may
be no thought of the wonderful
chance the automobile gives us to be-
come more familiar with our new
eighbors-"new" because they are
now as accessible as were dwellers in
foreign countries many years ago.
There remains no excuse for narrow
ignorance. There is no excuse, today,
for considering certain habits, GUS
toms the perfect ones because they
are characteristic of the people in the
home town. With the pleasure of
he automobile has come the respon-
sibility of broadening ourselves and
gaining a certain amount, at least, of
he cosmopolitan spirit which refuses

BORROWING MORE TROUBLE

All local discussion concerning day
light saving time merely adds to the
confusion that comes about this time
each year. There is only one thing
10 do, whether we approve daylight
saving tme-which we door not.
That one thing, under the circum-
stances. is to go ahead and make ar
rangements to do our work an hour
earlier each day and get through an
hour earlier. The railroad, by adj
vancing their schedule: the large and
small cities near us; the banks and the
merchants have settled this matter
for us and we are obliged to take the
benefits of their actions and decisions
whether we like to or not-which
most of us do.
Anyone who says there is no con-
fusion under daylight saving as now
practiced is a fanatic who distorts
facts. OF course there is confusion.
But the advantages to be gained are
so infinitely greater than the ''confu-
sion," because Of the good use to
which the daylight is put, that the re-
sultant confusion" sinks to petty i'm
portance by comparison. There was
confusion when electricity supplanted
gas as a means of illumination. Peo-
pie who had gas fixtures were obliged
to purchase paraphernalia for electric
lights. There was confusion when the
popular method of transportation
changed from horse drawn vehicles
to those propelled by motors. Not only
did men have to replace their wagons
with trucks but the whole traffic resu-
lations of the state and all the roads
of the state had to be altered.
Every step in progress brings con-
fusion. That confusion is made by the

CAMP FOR MOTORISTS

Again it seems advisable to repea,
, the warning against adopting the plar
for a camp for automobiists in this
city until the matter has been thor
| oughly investigated. Let it be granted
! If necessary, that the expense connects
ed with the camp would be slight:
| that small fee might be charged to
help defray, or to entirely defray any
such expenses. Granted that all prac-
teal arrangements might be made
without taking labor away from other
work to be done in the city, in order
TO prepare the camp and the neigh
borhood for 1t. 1t is by no means Ger
tain that there would not be some
problems in connection with these
matters, but let them be decided in
favor of the camp for the purpose
of this comment.
Nevertheless there remain certain
matters that are of even greater i'm
l'oA AcieNs VIC illltl VI Nlli1ll, pei ia pS
is the comfort and wish of the people
ofthe city, especially the people living
in the neighborhood of the proposed
camp. The people of New Britain
should be considered, of course, be-
fore the motorists who pass through
New Britain, or others who would Use
the camp. DO the residents of the
Belvidcre section want camp located
in that neghborhood Many of them
have purchased property there, or
rented property in that locality, look
ing forward TO the joys of spring and
summer in that delightful section
which has its drawbacks in winter.
They have put up with many things,
disadvantages due to the newness of
the section as residential district,
knowing they will be compensated by
its beauty in the warm months. Will
the establishment of camp there
take away from them some comfort
to which they had right to look for
ward? This is the first considera-
ton. Other matters that should be in
vestigated at once are the character
of tho people who make use Of such
camps; the effect such camps have
on the summer night life OF Il city;
the possibility Of such a place becom-
ing rendezvous Of an undesirable ma
ture and many other matters which
have cropped up most Unexpectedly
in towns and cities where this expert
ment has been tried.
1t is not the desire, here, to dis
approve tho idea Internationally. 1t
is the sincere desire however to en-
phaszc again the. importance of get
ting information from those who have
had experience with such camp be-
fore committing this city to the plan.
