Dean OF Newspapers

IN connection with the 200th anniversary Of the
Maryland Gazette, some old copies of that newspa
per were exhibited
The news and advertisements of early DAYS were
naturally quite different from what is found in cur
rent newspapers, as they reflected the customs Of
their time.
One of the stories from Vienna told of the burning
of several persons convicted of witchcraft, among
them "a midwife who had baptized 1000 children in
the name of the devil" A local item related the ex-
perience of negro slave who struck white man in
an argument over dog fight. The negro was SEN
fenced to have one of his cut off pursuant to
the law in such cases.
Among the advertisements was one announcing the
arrival of cargo of "about 200 choice slaves which
will be exposed for sale Thursday the 22nd of this
instant
In it's issue of October Fl, 1852, the Maryland
Gazette published the news of the birth of to
the British king and queen, which had occurred on
August H. The story bore the headlines: "Great Joy
to the Nation Prince of Wales is Born. God Save
the King" This the dssolute and notorious char
acter who afterwards became George ".
The Maryland Gazette was frequently suspended
for varying periods but is credited by the Librarian
of Congress with being "the dean Of present-day
American newspapers

The Peace OF Europe

THE talk about another general European war has
most OF the statesmen of all the world genuinely
alarmed COo-headed students of history however,
are pointing out that, since Napoleon's time and the
beginnings Of modern nationasm nobody has ever
tried to start war of ma or proportions so long as it
was clear that France and England would stand to-
gether. 1t is generally agreed that Bismarck would
not have gone through with his attack on France in
1870 IT it had not been that the Kasers son was mar
ned to Queen Victora's daughter and Victoria would
not permit the English government to take sides
against Germany.
Forty-four years LATER when Vctoria's grandson
first cousin of the King Of England was Emperor of
Germany in turn, he did not believe it possible that
England would side with France against him, or he
would not have started the war in 1914
The English policy in foreign affairs has always
been to keep the rest Of the world guessing but the
most experienced observers of European politics are
now pointing out that the present British govern
ment is decidedly pro-French and anti German. So
the prospect that any nation combination Of ma
ons which threatens the peace of Europe would have
the combined forces of England and France to fight
is regarded pretty good assurance that
head of government is going to touch off another
war in hurry.

STATE IS TARGET
 FOR AIR ATTACK
Conn. Chamber of Com merce Recommends Air
 Fields in All Sections

Hartford, Conn, April 9-UP)- Warning Connecticut was vulnerable to air attacks in event of another war, a report by the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce today urged construction of great number of air fields throughout the state to avoid a concentration of military aircraft. The recommendation was made at a meeting of aviation inter ests from throughout the state.
 During the last war;" the report said, there was little or no chance of enemy aircraft attacking our shores, yet fear of such attack caused the people of New Haven and Bridge port to demand anti-aircraft de- fense batteries with fully manned crews, and they got them.
 Air Attack Likely
 To-day, with airplane carriers and long-range bofnberS, there is every Likelihood of attack from the air in case of another war and the de- mand for protection of life and property in such an event will be impossible of fulfillment unless an- ticipated well ahead of time.
 '"The state of Connecticnut can provide for such emergencies by hav- ing a large number of air fields, thus avoiding the concentration of lnili- tary aircraft at one point, which would make them vulnerable to 8 surprise attack. Aircraft could be readily concentrated at some pre- determined point and yet based at different locations"
 Located in Connecticut are inpor- tant munitions, aircraft and brass industries, and the New London submarine and coast guard base.
