It's War, Gentlemen!

It should not have required the story in Mondays Democrat in which it was re- vealed that Uncle Sam is excluding the alien from all manufacturing plants in which orders for the federal government are being executed to inform us that war, . mighty war involving world powers, is imminent. We are not arming or prepar- in4 10 take the offensive in any such gi- Rantic struggle that may follow, but we are going to be prepared this time to offer an impregnable defense. If international ro|icies force us into battle we will not f1le the field unprepared.

 That J. Edgar Hoover's high powered Bureau of Investigation finds that AZ per cent of the B. 900 fingerprints received daily are duplicated by fingerprints received before? In other words. nearly half the persons appre- hended in crime have previous criminal records.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE +, CASE OF PATROLMAN
 JAMES STACK

f WaterDury, Conn.,
 August 6, 1895. Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 After reading the item in the American referring to Officer James Stack, would like to tell you a few things that MT. Pape and a few others should know. MT. Pape does not know that William Phelan, an officer in the U. s. army, was rescued from Vanasse's pond by James Stack and Ervie Vanasse. MT. Pape does not know that Francis Healey, driver for Reymond's Bread Co.,, was also rescued twice by MT. Stack in the same pond. He does not know that last month Officer Stack saved a. young boy of 12 years from drowning at Chestnut Hill reser- voir.
 Last winter on the night of the blizzard MT. Stack with five others were called to go to the city's sand- bank in the south end of Water bury about IF miles below City Corners to find two men who were reported missing from home. These men were workers for the unem- ployed and were showed in at the workmen's shack. These men were in such 8 condition when found that they were in need of medical attention. as quickly as possible.
 Mir. Stack volunteered to wade across the Naugatuck river so as to reach the nearest telephone. MT. Stack also gave his gloves, hat, coat, and shirt to one man who was freezing. From exposure and everything else MT. Stack was un- der a doctors care for five weeks.
 He has also stood by and saved a lot of city property in the city yards when fires broke out and would have caused considerable damage if MT. Stack hadn't used his head.
 MT. Stack has more friends in the city of Waterbury than MT. Pape and 'Tacky" Finn, so called investigator for the Republican, American, and I do not think that any city officials are ashamed of the man. These accounts of James Stack are the truth and can be verified by witnesses if desired. And so after all why not print this as something people do not know about Mir. Stack as they have printed something most people know. A knock is as good as a boost I think.
 A BOOSTER.

Forty-two states are to benefit from soil erosion program that Uncle Sam will shortly inaugurate at an estimated cost of $27,500,000. We don't see Connecticut participating in it, for soil erosion in this state isn't problem as yet. However, we could stand for sewage control in our river valleys and along the sound Why not some such program as this for those states outside the soil erosion belt?

Selected Poem
NIGHTFALL.

(Charles Oluf Olsen in The New York Sun) In this dim quietude of leaf and bough
 The dusky mantle of the night descends To hide my body and my heart endow
 With all of earth's invisible amends: A silence that is song to heal all grief,
 peace dissolving every little sorrow, And fin the alchemy of dark's too brief Benignity, illuming the tomorrow.

Bergner Makes
New York Debut
Some Rate Her as Great

By THEON WRIGHT

NEW YORK, Jan. %. (UP)-
A slim, dark-eyed Gamin with a
mop of corn-silk hair, bounded
across the footlirhts of the old
Shubert. theatre last highland
the great Bcrgner had arrived.
! Bounded hardly is the word.
actually ELISABETH Bergner was
kicked onto the stage by a couple
of off-staGe hands and a butler.
And possibly it was as important
an event in the American theatre
as anything since Elcnora Duse
visited these shores more than a
decade ago.
The tiny Viennese Jewess has
been called another Duse and an
other Be"nhardt, but Broadway
decided she is Bergner.
She can put more acting into
eating an apple than some head
liners could in Hedda Gabler.
Last night she made her en-
trance on the American stage
with Margaret Kennedy's tragedy,
! Escape Me Never" 1t was as
pronounced a success as Broad
wav has seen in Is years.
Before that opening scene,
where she literally was tossed be-
fore the American public, she was
as nervous as a one-eyed mouse
on a cat farm. -
But once that young lady step
ped behind the lights, the packed
"first night" house at the Shu-
bert knew it was seeing theatrical
history in the making.
It was not a new role-she
! played Escape Me Never" for a
year in London before she came
/ to America. But it was a new
actress for American eyes, some
thing more than her moving pic
lures showed-a creature Of fire
and movement, more gamln than
tragedienne, but as vital as a
shock of electricity.
Off stage Miss Bergner is a
neutrality-suspicious. natural, or per-
lhaps well tutored by her master
impressario, Charles B. Cochran,
the British Barnum.
] She doesn't, interview. Maybe
she will talk-if she feels like it..
Her own life-apart from the
| theater-distinctly is her own
business and nobody interferes.
Since arriving here she has
seen two plays-"Romeo and
Juliet" because Katherine Cornell
was playing in it, and Anything
Goes" a musical show, because
! Cochran will do it in London.
She seldom goes out and is less

She lives in a small apartment

r DON'T know whether 1t will

sauerkraut and pigs knuckles

Sauerkraut juice as cocKtali

You can make your own sauer-
kraut juice, incidentally, by drain

thoroughly chilling and seasoning.
Bulk or homemade kraut also
furnishes juice If a pound is put
in a coarse sieve, three-fourths OF
a cup cold water poured through
and the juice pressed out.
Sauerkraut and spareribs with
dumplings make good hearty fare
for blustery winter evenings, espe-
cially II you precede them with a
cream soup and follow with fruit

wieners instead of spareribs-or
pigs knuckles, which most men
prefer.

here is how you make them:
Sauerkraut and Mashed Potatoes
Two cups sauerkraut, 2 cups
mashed potatoes, l tablespoon

Season potatoes as for table,
Melt fat in kettle, add kraut and
