 TAKEN BY DEATH
Former Curate at St. Fran- Cis Church Here Dies in
 New London

New London, March 20.--Rev. James V. Illusion, pastor of St. Joseph's church here since 1894, died Thursday at Lawrence and Memorial Associated hospitals. He was recently operated on for ap- pendicitis.
 The funeral will be held Satur- day at 10:30 a. n1., in St. Joseph's church with Most Rev. Maurice r. McAuliffe, bishop of the Hartford diocese, as celebrant of a solemn requiem pontif1cal mass. Burial will be in St. Bernard's cemetery, New Haven. The body will lie in state at the church from 3:30 p. m. Fri day.
 Father Illusion was born in New Haven in 1870. After attending school there he went to Yale Med- ical School for year and then en- tered St. Lawrence College in Can ada. Later he studied at St. Johns Seminary in Brighton, Mass, and at St. Bernard's Seminary in Rochester, N. Y. He was ordained at St. Joe seph's Cathedral in Hartford in 1905. He served as assistant pastor of St. Francis Xavier church in Waterbury and St. Charles church in Bridgeport and became pastor of St. Johns church in Saybrook in 1919. He served at Saybrook until 1884 when he came to New London.

Britain and Germany started work today on compromise intended to liquidate the Rhineland crisis and begin negotiations to make European peace secure.
 Joachim Won Ribbentrop, chief German delegate, and Anthony Eden British foreign secretary, made the first progress in the European new deal in a conference at the foreign office.
 Ribbentrop, commenting on pro- posals made by the Locarno powers, was understood to have announced that Germany must be treated as an equal in any negotiations. He made it clear, 1t was said authoritatively, that Germany rejects proposal for a demilitarized zone on the German frontier alone, to be policed by Brit ish and Italian troops, while peace consolidation negotiations are go- ing on.
 Will Negotiate
 But at the same time he made an important concession by indicating that his government would nego- tiatc regarding submission to the Hague court of the question of com patibility Of the Locarno and French Russian military treaties.
 It was learned Great Britain plans to sign two-party naval accord with Germany several days after signature of the British French United States naval agreement, at present set for Tuesday at St. James palace.

motion of an employe of the postal service in accordance with the regu- lar. procedure of the Civil Service Commission in relation to promo tions. By inference and according to the committee report, If there is no employe in the vacancy office eligible for promotion, the position would be filled by open competitive examination. The appointment of acting or temporary postmasters must be made subject to the rules of the Civil Service Commission concerning temporary appointments.
 O'MahOney Bill
 The legaue points out that the Romspeck bill differs considerably from the O'Mahaney bill which also deals with the inclusion of postmast- CTS in the civil service. The OyMahoney bill provides that the effective date shall be January l, 1888, and goes into more detail on qualifications of postmasters for the larger post offices. It is also clear in it's statement that "the tenure of office of any postmaster or hereinafter appointed according to law shall not be af- fected by any provision of this act, but, upon the expiration after Jam uary i, 1888, of the term for which any such postmaster was appointed, the position shall be filled in &C., cordance with the provisions of this act" The bill is not clear in it's provisions relating to making tenn porary appointments of postmasters subject to the provisions of the Civil Service Act.
 The League of Women Voters is urging support of the Ramspeck bill feeling that there is no legitimate reason why postmasters should be political appointees, since their duties are purely technical and ad- and have no policy characteristics. A great ad- in requiring incumbent post masters to achieve a classification status by non-competitive exam nations rather than by "blanket- Ing-in" is that 1t makes fitness the criterion for continuance in office.

Women Voters Favor
 Postal Civil Service
Advocate Appointment of POstmasters on Merit-NOt as Political FavOrites-League for Ramspeck Bill

The inclusion of first, second anc third class postmasters in the Civil Service by the passage of the Rams peck postmasters bill is being sought by the Connecticut League of Wo- men Voters as part of their cam paign for better personnel in goV- ernment. The RamSpcck bill was favorably reported by the House Civil Service Committee last sum mer, and is now on the House Cal endar.
 This bill makes the appointment of first, second, and third class post masters subject to the provisions Of the Civil Service Act. Fourth class postmasters have been under civil service as a result of executive ord- CTS for over twentyyears) The law would go into effect immediately upon passage. The most important feature of the bill, however, is that it does not provide for "blanketing- in" present postmasters. Incum- bent postmasters may be allowed to finish the terms for which they were appointed, and may achieve classi- fled status by reappaintment on the basis of a non-competitive eXamina- tion conducted by the Civil Service Commission. A vacancy in post Inastership when the law goes into effect would be filled by the pro-

FARMERS A LA FORTUNE

TINE AAA decision has put the farmer the
II taxpayers neck and neither the Democratic
nor the Republican Party will ever pry him off, the
magazine Fortune, for March, contends.
Only a major European war might change this
situation, it concludes.
1t puts the blame on protected industry, which
left the farmers operating Guidance economy,
while the manufacturers set up economy of scar
city behind their high tariff walls
"The Supreme Court has put the American tax
payer into the farming business to stay" Fortune
says. Every Federaly taxable citizen will help to
feed the pig and pay the interest on the 4O-acre
mortgage from now until he dies
There Is million farm votes that can be
beautifully organized on farm issue, and neither
party will dare bid less than the farmer has actually
been receiving under the AAA.
Both parties will therefore start with reor-
ganization of Federal responsibility for the farm
ers Ills And the upShot is that, regardless of the
outcome of the election, the Federal government will
pick up the farmer where the Supreme Court set
lie carried by AAA
Since Lincons time, industry has won every
engagement in its struggle with agriculture partic-
uarly in its fight for tariff which would give in
dustry closed market"
This situation, Fortune asserts, created the in
equity which ended in collapse agricultural econ
omy and brought forth the AAA.
THE American farmer will continue to live part
ly at the public expense until American farming
on plenty basis finds again the constantly ex-
panding markets which such producing system
means" it adds.

ROAD TO WAR

CENAToR GORE of Oklahoma hasn't written
- book about the road to war, but he watched his
country travel that road against his own counsel
Senator during the hectic pre-war days, he
sought unsuccessfully to prevent Americans from
travelling belligerent ships except at their own
risk
The Lusitania sunk. American lives were lost,
entered the conflict and Senator Gore found him
self defeated because of his antwar attitude. Ten
years elapsed before he returned to the Senate.
So when he suggested that the neutrality law be
amended to bar American citizens from the armed
ships of beigerents he acted from experience. His
amendment defeated but not before Senator
Gore gave his description of this road to Al
though blind, the Senator sees such things better
than many of his colleagues He said:
1--WE can never keep out of any foreign
long permit citizens to travel upon armed
belgerent Ships because whenever citizens take
passage armed vessel OF belligerent power its
enemy will sink that ship if it can.
That dramatizes the death of an American
citizen.
Feelings run high. Passions of war take the
place of Then, if there be sinister interests
which have the sordid purpose of urging this coun-
try into war, they do not that purpose point
blank. They take advantage of the aroused pas
sons of the American people, they appeal to their
patriotism when our citizenship is unconscious of
the fact that patriotic emotions being turned to
sordid purposes and the country plunged into
ut is mob psychology, after ALL that makes
a practical possibility. Wars would seldom be re-
sorted to a matter of reason when passions
not running rife"

favor Of Taft, and the convention, including the
men whose seats we're at stake voted to uphold the
committee. The subsequent walk across the street
to the Progressive convention was probably the
largest and most impressive in American history.
Al Smith was the cause of the next party schism
His nomination at Houston in 1923 made many drys
and many Southerners acutely unhappy. They did
not leave the Democratic convention, but they re-
fused to support the ticket
-Four years later Smith found the tables turned
After the nomination Of Roosevelt, which he bitterly
opposed, he refused comment and, with his sup
porters took train for New York before the clos
ing session Of the convention at which Roosevelt
spoke
So AIS bitterness now is something ne has been
storing up since 1882 defeated candidate for the
nomination.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

HERE is a tdbit of wisdom from young friend
= who graduated last June from famous law
school.
Il learned in college how law ought to be prac-
tced," he said Nov I've got to spend several more
years learning how it is practiced."
AL graduates are faced with the same task What
ever knowledge they may have acquired must be sup
pelnented by practical experience before they can
hope to succeed, in a small way.
One is often struck by the vast numbers of young
men and women who after years of grinding study,
actually can do nothing Thousands of boys. know
everything in the books but are helpless when the
time to put their knowledge to use. Thousands
of girls, with smattering of this, that the other
haven't enough gumption to earn dime
Those emerging from high school are in an even
worse case because most of them have to compete
at once with Older heads and wholly uhprepared
to do So They are the individuals who later will
be found in the trades on the farms and in domestic
service.
And whatever may be the reason, whether sys-
tenn of education or home training the general at
mosphere of the times is at fault, the fact remains
that most of them feel snooty toward common toll.
They dawdle about, dreaming of sudden success,
while they miss all the golden opportunities which
life offers them
The essential point in all education, it seems to me,
is to teach the child to want to do the task at hand
as well as possible A man ought to feel pride in
his work, whatever that work may be-
On the feminine side, not stress this
enough For at the moment we see too many dis
satisfied women and girls behind the counters of de-
partment stores in the shops and offices, who spend
their time dreaming of marrying millionaires. and
are too preoccupied with those dreams to attend to
their jobs efficiently. And what say about the
housewives - the multitudes of them who are
ashamed of every honest days work they do in their
homes?
