JAPANESE THREAT BY ARMS IS GONE Bat Industrial Ilel_iace of China . ‘Peking,. March 9.—Chinese newspa- pers are devoting much space to dis- cussion of the .apparent change in Japan's attitude' towdrds China. Pa- pers ‘of all parties ang,factions share the opinion that’ Japkh® has aban- doned, at - least ' temporarily, all thought of physical conquest of China, and is devoting itself to an economic conquest. Japan’s atitude towards the new American enterprises in China and the renewed efforts of Japanese bankers to entrench themselves more thor- oughly through loans of various sorts are widely discussed in .the Chinese press as well as in parliament. The following statement from the -Peking Daily News is representaiivé of the view generally taken by the Chinese press: “At Tokio the bellef pre- vails that Japan will continue her sndeavor to increase her political in- fluence in China. The Japanese busi- ness men are ¢ontinually clamoring for a political -ascepdency that will not be so abrupt as to endanger peace. ‘What they want is a thorough eco- nomic conquest of the neighboring re- public. " “The readiness with - which the Chifiese recently granted American capitalists the concession to build a lons railroad and their hesitation in making contracts with the Japanese have awakened the Japanese to the fact that ascendency in China, to be successful, must be .accompanied by some measure of trust and confi- dence. ‘The Japanede have tricked the Chinese so much that the Chinese have lost all confidence in their neigh- bors, both politically and <commer- clally.: “The situation as it stands-between the United States, China and 1Japan Is' in its Infancy, but, it 18sgrowing daily and will have to be taken into consideration soon, Chinese papers throughout the re. Public show hostiiity to any financial arrangement in which Japan has a hand. There is°a general disposition to .discourage joint .action between any group of foreign = powers and China, if Japan be included in the Sroup. Chinese newspaper are prac- tically Wnanimous in their expression of the hope that American bankers will ‘invest large sums in.the devel- opment of China without co-opera- tioh with foreign powers, The Unit- ed States is heralded as the one coun- try which has dealt fairly with Chin and has no deaire to acquire Chinese territory and exercise undue political ‘Pressure on China through financial channels. .

Cowrts, Town Clérk in‘a Quandary, Material increases in ' the cost 'of STain coupled with, the, fancy prices now obtainiig for househald.. neces- sitles 'which ‘they have to usé them- local milk dealers as reasons for their announce- ment that beginning next Sunday milk will be served to customers for eleven cents a quart, a raise of one sent over the rates now prevailing. Notice has been served on the “trade by the various dealers, all of. whom have agreed to recognize the new price. The action of the dealers is in line with the change in prices made by milk peddlers in other places in this vicinity. Bristol and ‘New Britain' people have been paying eleven cents a quart for some time but the local men held off making a raise in the hope that there would be some re- duction in the cost of grain and other foodstuffs. The scarcity of labor and tho high wages demanded by farm hands also enter into the decision Owners of farms in this locality are experiencing a great deal of trouble in getting help and in the spring when planting time begins they fear that they may have to face a most serious problem. ‘While their customers are not en- thuslastic over the increase, they of | course have ro alternative, all the dealers having agreed on the new price, they are viewing the raise philo- sophically and are placing the blame to Mr, High Cost of Living. Court Orders Conflict. Town Clerk Robert C. Usher was placed in a quandary this morning when Constable Philip Marino an- peared at his office to summons him for jury cduty at the March term of the superior court, criminal side. The subpoena ordered him to report next Tuesday morning at 10:30. Mr, Usher's difficulty develops from the fact that a few days ago he was served with a subpoena to present an appearance before the court of com- mon pleas Tuesday morning at 10:30 to serve as juryman in civil actions. .The physical impossibility of man's being in two places at once will pre- vent the town clerk from answering both orders. He will seek to be ex- cused from duty in at least one of the courts, although he would like to be let off from both, because of the large amount of work now facing him in his capacity as town clerk. - Mr. Usher is at present working the tax collector’s books, a task which is occupying a considerable part of hie time each day. The local taxes are due an April 1 and the officials are anxious to have the bills in the hands of the property owners by that date, if possible. i New Britainites Vanquished, The Ramblers of New Britaln were forced to bow in submission to the Plainville Young Men's club ' basket- ball team last evening. ‘The loeal boys winning the game played in the Town hall Dy a scare of 34 ' to 17. The. Plainville team was much faster than the Ramblers and displayed more accuracy in basket shooting, a fact attested to by the score. After tHe game there was dancing. * Aged Resident Dying. ' Morris Correll, an aged resident, is reported to be in a dying ocondition at the home of his son on West Main street. The patient was very low this morning and his death was momen- tarilq expected. He is 88 years old and has been in feeble health for a long time. Dissatistaction Here. While Plainville may not be ficlally represented at the hearing be- fore the public utilities commission next Thursday regarding the service given by the Connecticut company, there is nevertheless considerable Wissatisfaction here with the accom- modations on the. New Britain line. especially during rush hours and on Sundays. : A fifteen minute service to South- ington is also agitated although the complaint is not so strong as thar concerning .the service on the New Britain line. ' Plainville is also anxious to have the double track te New Britain com- pleted. The Connecticut company has had a plan for this improvement in the works for a long time but the management adinits that there is no immediate prospect of getting the work done. The. cost of operating and the big increase in the expense of new construction work are given as reasons for the delay. Over 1,200 Blanks in. ‘Plainville has already dispatched approximately twelve hundred blanks to thé central office of the military census in Hartford and there are in- dications that within the next few days about fifty more will be sent in. .The town has been well covered by the enumerators and the work is practically finished. Constable Ma- rino is picking up a few additional blanks each day, however. Men who have been overlookkd or those with whom the enumerators failed to get in touch are sending in their blanks by mail and others are sending them to the officials through other chan- nels. of- MARGH. ~ 3 oak .

Cldflnyfin(s and Crystal Gazers Forced Out of Business. London, March 9.-—Palmists, crys- tal-gazers and clairvovants who have been reaping a rich harvest in these days of national stress are to be stamped out as a result of the cam- paign inaugurated by the authorities in London and many other cities of England. The extensive business done by these fortune tellers is being revealed almost daily in the police courts. An amazing number of people have been willing to pay from $2.50 to $5 for a glimpse into the future. Wives and sweethearts of soldiers at the front have been the most willing! victims. They have sought out these prophets for a possible clue to their loved ones. The business has thrived in London industrial ‘and. the big eomp'hn': ‘been making I 89 much money working on muni- tions. The most widely known crystal gag- er in London’s fashionable quarter was fined $300 the other day. There Wwas practically no defense; all that was urged on the defendant's behalf was that she gratified a craze and that soclety women formed a large propor- tion of her patrons. 7 PUBLICITY BOON .TO “HACKS” London, - March 9.—There s joy MANY ARISTOCRATS KIDLED, | —— y Paris “Bluc Book” Containg. 3 2,000 ‘Society War Victings.
