His wife, Mrs. Belle .Rodgers was allowed to go with the advice to lock no more on the cup said to cheer and to make operative ther decision to enter’'a hospital for treatment. Both were arraigned for intoxication, Policemen Meddrick Perry and Thomas C. Dolan going to thelr home yesterday in response to compiaints and finding conditions such that resulted in the arrests. Belle Ppersisted in carrying on a “running ‘ cenversation” with Judze Meskill, her husband and other court officials until severely warned that a continuance of her conduct would result in being taken from the ,room. She contend- ed indignantly that she was not in- toxicated but fell when a loose. shoe Shcing tripped her. She explained with dignity that she had been to a hospital in Hartford to see about be- ing. admitted for treatment but was upable to secure admittance because _ the institution was “full.” The ar- resting officers also testified that she was full also, upon her arrival home.

It culminated in a tug of war over the beer, during which it was tipped over and about the room, as well as the use of a beer mug, the mug doing considerable su- perficial damage to Miola's anatomy.

Echoes of a once happy home wrecked by the subtle fascination of an afiinity, a comely woman from the shoyes of sunny Italy, a trip with her to a little Pennsylvania town where five months were passed until the fascination was broken, the charmer disappeared and the husband returned and attempted to be forgiven was Pathetically told by frail care-work Mrs. Irving Clark of 422 Main street in pressing non-support charges against him who led her to the altar only last September. Bearing an in- fant in her arms, she told a story such as-gave a graphi¢ insight into the domestic wreckage caused by the affinity, an unfaithful husband and destroyed dreams of wedded bliss. She, according to her testimony, was barely fifteen when Clark got her to ! say ‘“yes” and stood by her side as the words were said that made them man and wife. Soon the insidious charmer began to come between them, his interest in the home and her waned and then came one day when he left her for unknown whereabouts. For five months his whereabouts were a mys- tery. Then he returned and tried to have a reconciliation, asking her to come to a home prepared by him. She did not meet his invitation with an afirmative answer. In his defense, Clark admitted having gone to Penn- sylvania with the girl of Ttalian de- scent, told of his return and asking his wife to come back to him. He got no sympathy, the order be- ing that he post a bond of $250 to assure payment of $5 a week for a’|' vear towards the support of his wife and child or serve three months in the county jail, NEVADA MOST PATRIOTIC Leads All States in Proportionate /Re- cruiting for Regular Army—Ver- mont Makes Poorest Showing, Washington April 26.—Nevada led all the states in proportionate re- cruiting for the regular army between April- 1 and 23, by contributing 94.4 per cent. of her war quota which is based on approximste population, war department res showed today.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1917, IRHEUMATICS ARE MADE HAPPY Satisfied That “Neutrone Prescription 99” Is All That's Claimed This reliable prescription has, since being placed in the hands of the pub- lic, done more to remove Rheumatic Troubles than all previous remedies combined. It is different from other remedies in that it does not upset the stomach or impair the heart, a condition here- tofore thought impossible. It is not a cure-all but a remedy to be taken internally treating Rheu- matism as a constitutional disease, by its general action through the blood. The treatment is a most complete combination of rheumatic-reducing elements and is dependable to pro- duce results from the fact it aims at rheumatism as a disease of the blood. 50c and $1.00 the bottle.

GERMANY ANXIOUS FOR END OF WAR But Does Not Dare to Say So, Yorwaerts Claims and leading Amsterdam, April 26, via London— The Berlin Vorwaerts comments sar- castically on the announcement of the semi-official Nordeutsche Allegemin Zeitung that the German government refuses to declare its attitude, amid the conflict of opinion, regarding Ger- any's war aims. The Vorwaerts says the government does not wish to ré- Ject directly the peace formula of the socialist democrats but nevertheless refuses to adopt it because the Brif- ish and French newspapers are talk- ing nonsense and adherence to the formula might be interprsted as a sign of weakness. The paper adds: “Whoever wishes may read between | +n~ lines that the government is pre- pared to conclude peace without an- nexation and indemnities and would even be glad to get it hut does not dare to say s0, owing to the threaten- ing attitude of the Paris Matin and Journal and also of the Deutsche Tages Zeitung and the Tagesische Rundschau.” George Bernhard. in the Vossiche Zeitung, sharply criticizes the declara- tion of the Nordeutsch Zeitung. He re- grets that henceforth nobody will be able to judge from the statement from the government what its war aims really are. ‘Nobody knows what the government really wants,” he says, “is the explanation of the confusion of counsels.

Stories of the German counter-at- tacks—there have been separate at- tempts since Monday evening to cap- ture Gavrele—tell of almost incredible tactics employed by the Germans in sending forward troops in mass for- mation, giving the British artillery the greatest opportunity for open target shooting it has had in the last two Vvears. Several thousand gray-clad Germans were advancing in one of these attacks late Tuesday when the British curtain of fire shut down in front of them. Still other British guns fired straight through the curtain on the advancing men. Not a man passed beyond that curtain, and when it lift- ed there was not a moving German in sight. Nothing was to be seen but ploughed ground littered with dead. One British regiment has a particu- lar grievance against the Germans. The night before the uttack a stray German shell landed direct on the reg- imental rum cart, destroying sixty- eight gallons.
