peror Napoleon III and His Cousin,
Prince Napoleon" edited by Ernest
d'Hauterive and translated from the
French by Herbert Wilson. Gaps in
the correspondence are filled by brief
paragraphs by the editor, narrating
connecting events. The letters show
Napoleon III not to have been the
tricky weakling that many of his CO.
temporaries, and especially Bismarck,
believed him to be. He seems to have
been undeniably ambitious for per-
sonal power. but patriotic; unscrupu-
lous, but kindly and generous when
he felt he could afford to be; not a
match for Bismarck, but rather clever
and skillful in diplomacy. In one of
his letters he claims a divided respon-
sibility for the Franco.Prussian War.

 Haines admitted that he went into the store about 3 o'clock in the morning and took the cigarette and match and paper out of d show case. where Grichtman had left it for him. After lighting the cigarette. he placed the device in a cupboard in which were paper goods. He was to have received $200 out of the insur- ance money Grichtman expected to collect. Bowlen also was to be taken care of
 Anthony Czannato, alias Edward

Hartford. testified that prior to his 1 becoming member of the Hartford fire department he had beer employ ed in the store by former proprie- tor. and consequently he knew Grichtman. Some time after he en- tered the department, Grichtman in- quired of him the steps taken by the authorities to determine the cause of fires and what the firemen did imme-
 diately on reaching the scene of
 fire.
 Miss Rose Lehman, q nurse of Garden street. Hartford. testified that she was acquainted with Bow len and visited him in jail. He told her at that time Grichtman had no connection with the crime, but be- cause of his nationality, he was sat- isfed to allow Grichtma1 take g. ride for it." Miss Lehman also testi- fled that Bowlen confided to her that he was promised his release from prison on parole in one year for making his confession.

 The British acceptance of the 5-5- 3 ratio for cruisers. the proposal to reduce destroyers to 1.750 tons for flotilla leaders and to 1.400 tons for destroyers would be completely suitable to this country since Americas largest destroyer is 1915 ions, it was viewed here. Reduction of submarines to 1,600 tons would also be practically immaterial to the United States since only the five Vi type submarines are above this ton mage.

Interested In Savings

London. June 21 tR>-Calculations tnat postponement of replacement of capital ships in accordance with the Lritish proposals would save the country forty to fifty million pounds attracted the notice of the British taxpayer today more thal any other feature of the opening Of the Geneva naval conference. He did not cavil at the fact that the United States would save a similar amount. while Japan would be richer by 2S,000.0O0 rounds.
 The respective proposals of the United States. Great Britain and Japan were set forth prominently by The morning newspapers, but the comment was scanty. confined for the IT ost part to government jour nals.
 The Liberal News approves the British proposals to certain ex- lent, but fears they might lead to competition in cruiser building, which. it says. is as disast, ous as the old race for battleships. The paper wants the admiralty frankly to avow that it does not object to America building cruisers righ: up to the British limit if she chooses, partly because If the Americans choose to l.uild nothing can prev.rt them," srd partly because it is inconceiv able that the American navy can menace Great Britain.
 The News sees greater need for an arrangement among the Euro- rean powers respecting submarines and other small craft.
 Ths point is also emphasized by the Liberal Chronicle which con- tend that apart from capital shps, British requirements are in nowise conditional on anything America Coes.
 The Labor Socialist Herald sees no prospect of good arising from the conference. whose motive, 1t says, is not peace but economy. It declares that whatever arrangements the three powers make. the cause of reace will not be advanced jot; war will only be made cheaper.
