Gates, conqueror of the six-time win- ner of mayoralty elections, was sworn into office by the man he defeated at the polls. Few people witnessed the swearing in of the new: mayor. Sher- iff Gates, according to his custom for years past, salled into Mayor Dunn’s office to get his morning paper, and the two headliners in the palitical battle that ended in Dunn’s first de- feat in 12 years exchanged salutations, During the conversation that ensued, Gates casually asked about the admin- istering of the oath of office. ‘“‘Sure,” sald Danny, “that can be done any time, Why not now 7 e new mayor was agreeable and the proprietor of the smokeshop and newspaper depot, reaching into his political library, pulled out a copy of the charter and ordinances of the city, calling the attention of those who happened to be in the place at the time, administered the oath of office. Serious Complaint. | New Haven—Frank Woodward, ; pitcher of the New Haven baseball club and drafted by the Philadelphia | National league team because of his fine showing during the past season, is being detained at the central police station on the caroner's orders pend- ing further investigation into the case of Miss Ella Devall, aged 27, of 105 George street, who is now at the New Haven hospital. Miss Duvall is tho woman who was found at the Union station last Tuesday evening in an unconscious condition. It was at first thought that she was suffering from poison taken in an attempt at suicide, but later examination at the New Ha- ven hospital showed, it is alleged, that she was suffering from the effects of an illegal operation. Coroner Mix was called into the case at the hospital, and, after questioning Miss Duvall, he caused the arrest of Dr. George A. Faber, of 182 Grand street, Water- bury, and the detention of Woodward. To Issue Stock. Hartford—The public utilities com- mission has indicated that it would grant the petition of the New Haven road for the authorization to issue 450,000 shares of preferred stock. Vice-President B. G. Buckland and Attorney William L. Barnett, Tepre- senting the company, were authorized to draw up a formal order which the commission will accept in original or amended form. This crder will also be presented to the public service commissions of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. There was no opposi- tion to the petition. The commission also indicated its approval of petitians of the New Haven road for the erec- tion of a spur track in th ity New Haven to the Texas Co.’s plant and of the Connecticut company's plan for double-tracking New Haven | avenue in Derby. Some Advice. Bridgeport—Respectable parents should not be considered an extenua- tion of crime, but rather to the con- trary,” saild Judge Gardiner Greene in the criminal superior court when he passed sentence upon Daniel No- vak of Norwalk, sending him to state prison for not less than three nor more than four years for attempted robbery. ‘“Rather the one who has been unfortunate, who has not had the opportunity for education and good care should receive the sympa- thy of the court, and not the one who has had a good home, and op- portunity to know better.” 4 Mayor’s Sugar.

Associated Press. A | Minister Treub’s criticism was based | on the contention that the attitude of the two powers made the Nether- lands dependent on Germany, With | the result that she had to make all kinds of concessions to that country. ! Moreover, he thought it had a most unfortunate effect on the nation’s sympathies. At the outset of the war these were, for the largest part, on the side of the Entente Allies, but, cxcepting perhaps France, pro-Allied feeling had since largely declined as a result of Allied mecasures. If a referendura on the subject could be taken today, he thought it would show a pretty equal division of sympathies Letween the Entente and the Cen- tral Powers. “Unless the present pol- icy be changed,” he added, "I am quite sure pro-Allied feeling will de- i cline daily.” i Discussing the question with Brit- | | ain in respect of allowing Germany to | | take gravel and sand over Nether- ' | lands waterways to Belgium, which led the British government to with- | draw financial and commercial tele- | graphic factlities from Holland, Mr. | Treub declared: “Proof in such cir- cumstances is always difficult, but if | the Netherlands government only gets the impression that such sand and gravel is really for war purposes I am absolutely sure the traffic will be stopped.” As regards the question of the Netherlands ships that have so long | been lying in American ports, the| minister was hopeful that an arrange- ment might even yet materialize, sug- gesting that it would be mutually ac- ceptable if, say, a third of their num- ber was placed in the America-Neth- erlands East Indles service, a third placed at the disposal of the Belgian Relief commission, and a third per- mitted to ply between the United States and Holland. | “Is it possible for the Netherlands 50 to revise her present export ar-| ‘rangement as to remove America’'s in | { 1 Storage.

The proportion of exports going to Germany cannot be reduced to any considerable cxtent, for we are dependent upon that coun- try for our coal and other necessi- ti Were the Netherlands likely to be into the war by the vari- ous complications now arising, in- quired the correspandent. “I do not think there is immediatc danger of that,” replied Mr. Treub, “but if the war lasts another year or more no one can prophesy what will be the Tesult. Serious economic and | political difficulties may be expected.” “What do vou think of the peace | outlook ?” questioned the intervie “The outlook, in my opinion, is very | bad,” came the reply. “‘How would Holland regard a peace whereby Germany only released Bel- gium on condition of the guarantees, of which she speaks; as, for instance, administrative separation?” inquired the correspondent. “Without knowing the exact nature of such guarantees,” was the answer, “it is impossible to express an opin- ion. Administrative separation might and might not weaken Belgium. It is; conceivable that a system might be | established, as in Switzerland, which did not reduce the nation's strength. 1 regard it as a great intercst for Holland that Belgium shculd be re- stored to absolute independence, that | she should be an entirely neutral, free country, not under the control of one party or the other.” Guestic ned LINEN NEEDED AT HOME.

The bay, who was afterward to lead the French army in one of the hard- est fought battles of the great war, laid away the stolen powder for gun- ning expeditions in the forests near his home. There was some of this borrowed ammunition left when the present war began. Sixth of his class on entering the military school of Saint Cyr, Maistre was first when the class graduated. He was third In his class at the War school. Lieutenant Maistre’s career with a mission to Gratz, Austria, where he became initiated into the practices of the Kriegspiel, which he helped introduce at home. Captain in 1887 and major in 1898, he was named of general tactics at the hool. As Licutenant-Colonel, Maistre com- manded the 79th Infantry, one of the celebrated regiments of Nancy, and as began colonel was transferred to the 106th Infantry, called the “regiment of steel,” forming part of the “iron di- vision” that has distinguished itself on nearly all of the most familiar bat- tlefields of the war. Brigadier-general in 1912, Maistre was appointed a member of the “‘com- mittee of the general staff” and at the beginning of August, 1914, was chief of staff of General Langle de Cary, who commanded the Fifth French army in the Battle of the Frontiers, the Battle of the Marne and at the beginning of the Battle of Ver- dun. Maistre became a general of di- vision just before the Battle of the Marne and was placed in command of the 21st Corps. He won the cravate of Commander of the Legion of Honor ! in that battle at the head of the 21st | Carps, afterward leading it in the Battle of Notre Dame de Lorette, aft- er which he relieved the 20th Corps at Verdun. In the changes of command conse- | quent upon the reorganization of the | general staff after the partial offensive on the Chemin des Dames 1917, Maistre was placed in c of an army.
