GOVERNMENT MAY BUILD PLANTS HE (Continued from First Page) that the production would be mater- fally increased and the transportation problem, in a certain measure, would be solved, In this connection there is some wonderment béing expressed; about the city as to what effect government ownership would have on the city's tax list. It 15 believed that should the government buy these pieces of property and build factories the eity would be deprived of the tax income from them, inasmuch as government property in a municipality, such as the post office, is non taxable. MALONE WRITES HOME. Son of Detective Sergeant and Lieu- tenant Glover Moet Often. \ In a letter to his parents In this city, Harold Malone, a member of the American Expedittonary Force in France, tells of the excellent health that New Britain boys are enjoying in the foreign country. The letter also states thit very little of the war ac- tivities is'known by the soldiers, l-fld/L the best information they recelve ‘is through the American papers sent them. Private Malone is stationed near Lieutenant Joseph A. Glover, and they meet as often as possible. The men in service were given an ex- cellent menu at Thanksgiving and were expecting a bountiful repast on Christmas. The writer speaks in flat- | tering terms of the commander of the company, Captain .Bulkeley of Hart- ford, son of former Senator Morgan G. Bulkeley. At the'time the letter was written considerable snow .had fallen. 3 KILLS GUARD. ‘Deputy Warden of Federal Prison Slain by Prisoner, Atlanta, Dec. 27.—Dr. James R. Brock, deputy warden at the Atlanta federal penitentiary was Kkilled by Dimitrie Popoff, a prisoner who 'struck him down. with an iron bar The only reason the eonvict would give for the act was ‘it was a per- sonal matter.” Popoff, who is said to be an alien enemy, was serving a sentence of 5 years for counterfeiting.

His leg was fractured and blood poisoning de- veloped.. Amputation failed to save the man’s life. His home was in Wa- terbury. INVITE GOVERNORS. Providence, Dec. 27.—The govern- ors of the New England states today were invited by the Town Criers’ as- sociation of Rhode Island to attend a reception here January-3 to Gov- ernor Beeckman, who returned re- cently from a tour of European bat- tlefields. They are also expected to attend an informal governors’ confer- ence on January 4. SETTLES STRIKE. Washington, Dec. 27.—Settlement of a strike of 15,000 cigarmakers in Porto Rico, which had cost the gov- ernment $700,000 in revenue during 4 months cessation of work, was an- rounced today by the department of labor. A mediator effected a settle- ment of wage questions which caused the strike. McNULTY DIES OF POISONING. William A. McNuilty, a former resi- AGRE 70 PEACE TERMS (Continued from First Page) of the Russian delegation could be realized only in case all the 'powers participating in the war obligate themselves scrupulously to adhere to the terms in common with all peo- ples. “The powers of the quadruple alli- ance now negotiating with Russia can- not, of course, one-sidedly bind them- selves to such tefms, not having the guarantes that Russia’s allies will recognize and carry out these terms honestly without reservation with re- gard to the quadruple alliance.’ Start- ing upon thege principles, and regard- ing the six clauses proposed by the Russian delegaticn &8 & basis of ne- gotiations, the following must be stated: “Clause 1—Forcible annexations of territories seized during the war does not enter into the intentions of the al- lied powera. About troops now occu- Pying seized territories it must be stipulated in the peace treaty, if there 18 no agreement before, regarding the évacuation of these places. “Clause 2—1It is not the intention of the allies to deprive the political independence of those nations which lost it during the war. “Clause $S—The question of subjoc- tion to that or the other countries of nationalities who have not political irdependence, cannot, in the opinion ©f the powers of quadruple alliance be solved internationally. In this case it must be solved by each government, together with its peoples in & manner | established by the constitution. “Clause 4{—Likewise in accordance with the declarations of the statesmen of the quadruple alliance, the protec~ tion of the rights of minorities con- stitutes an essential part of the right of peoples to self-definition, indicated by a constitution. “Clause 5—The governments also realize this principle in life when there is a material possibility of mu- tral refusal mot only to refund war expenditures, but also to pay damages caused by the war. In accordance with this each belligerent would have to Dear only the expemse of its sub- Jects made war prisoners and also to pay damages caused on their own ter- ritory to civil subjects of an adver- sary by deliberate violation of inter- national law. The creation of a special fund for this purpose, as sug- gested by the Russian ' government, can be discussed only in case other belligerents join in peace negotiations before the expiration of a -certain ime. “Clause 6—Of the four allied pow- crs, Germany alone possesses col- onies. On the part of the German celegation in full accord with the Russian proposals regarding that, the following js declared: “The return of colonial territories fchetbly weized - during the war con- stitutes an essential part of German demands, which Germany cannot re- nounce under any circumstances. Likewise, the Russian demand for im- niediate evacuation of territories oc- cupied by an adversary conforms to German intentions. Having in view the nature of the colonial territories of Germany, the realization of the right of self-determination beside the above outlined considerations, in the form proposed by the Russian delega- tion is at present practically impos- sible. “The circumstance that in the Ger- man colonies the natives, notwith- standing the greatest difficulties and the improbability of victory in a struggle against an adversary many times stronger and who had the ad- vantage of unlimited import by sea, remained in the gravest circumstances faithful to their Gerinan friends, may serve as proof of their attachment and their resolve by all means to pre- serve allegiance to Germany, proof of which by its significance and weight is far superior to any expression of pop- ular will. “The principles of economic rela- tions proposed by the Russian dele- gation in connection with the above six clauses are approved wholly by the delegations of the small allied powers who always have denied any econom- jc restrictions and who see in the re- establishment of regulated economic relations, which are in accord with the interests of all people concerned, one of the most important conditions for bringing about friendly relations between the powers now engaged in ‘war.” Chairman Iaffee, of the Russian delegation, expressed gratification at the willingness of Germany to con- clude peace on the basis of no an- nexations, no indemnities and the self-definition of peoples, but pointed out that the self-definition of peoples within the limits granted by constitu- tions, as stated by the German reply, right of the stronger nation with re- gard to territories occupied during the war,” he said, “the powers of the quadruple alliance at the same time give all their opponents an immedi- ate peace ground. They affirm that the Tight of the stronger after unpre- cedented hlocdshed shall be preserved with all its integrity within each of the countries with no regard for little ¢nd oppressed nationalities. “The war cannot end without the violated rights of these nationalities being re-established. The Russian delegation insists that these nation- alittes must in the very next peace treaty establishing a general peace among all nationalities receive on the husis of international agreement guar- antees that their lawful rights will be protected. The lapse of time in no case legalizes the violation of one people by another.” dent of this city, died in the general hospital in Pittsburgh, Pa., Christmas, as. the result of gas poisoning sus- tained by an explosion in a factory where he was employed in Oakdale, Pa.

Washington's Views. Washington, Dec. 27.—The condi- tions surrounding Count Czernin’ proposals for a basis of peace cause officials here to feel some apprehen- sion for their sincerity. There is a great disposition to feel that the ob- ject of the German plegipotentiaries is simply to protract the negotiations as long as possible without any ex- pectation of an immediate peace agreement with the Bolsheviki lead- ing the German people to believe the givernment is really desirous of mak- ing peace, and of gaining time for the further strengthening of the Ger- man lines in the west. One condition regarded as impos- sible for the present at least is that the adherence of all belligerents must be secured to the peace Germany is trying to make with Russia before it can become effective. This is accom- plished by a demand for the return of the German colonies now in the possession of Russia’s allles. It can be stated authoritatively that the position of the American govern- ment has not changed in any respect ‘with regard to its determination to enter into no -agreement with a gov- ernment- which does not ‘represent the free will of the governed people. This would dispose of any hope the Ger- mans might have that the Russians could induce America to subscribe to the peace treaty which they are now trying to arrange. As for the Ger- man colonies the American govern- ment has never recorded itself on| the subject. Premier Lloyd George recently de- clared that was a subject for the peace conference. No consideration is made in Czer- nin’s terms for the return to France of Alsace-Lorraine which is regarded here as a condition that must be met as a preliminary to any peace agree- ment, an understanding declared by President Wilson in his message to congress. n the light of the ‘extra- ordinary efforts Germany has been making to rid these provinces of French inhabitants it is belleved here that Germany may propose a plebis- dite of inhabitants, relying upon the vote of German soldiers and the im- ported ‘German population, but such a proposal probably would be rejected by the United States and her co-bel- ligerents SUGAR OATUSES TROUBLE. Jacob Dean Fined For Insulting Store Keeper Who Had None to Sell. Eugemeés to secure some sugar with which to replenish his depleted larder caused Jacob Dean to so forget his manners as to insult Mrs. Friedman, a Hartford avenue grocery store keeper, last night. As a result Dean was ar- rested on a technical charge of breach of the peace and was fined $5 with- out costs by Judge John H. Kirkham in police court this morning. Dean was represented by Lawyer M. D. Saxe who said that his client had left some money with Mrs. I'riedman which was to pay for a quantity of sugar when it arrived. Dean’s claim ‘was that the storekeeper failed to save him some of the scarce commogity with the result that he became undaly excited. Mrs. Friedman claimed that before a store full of customers Dean upbraided her severely and called her names that must be deleted by the censor. CHILDREN MADE HAPPY. Salvation Army Gives Presents to 125 Little Tots. More than 125 little children were made happy last evening at the annual Christmas tree exercises held by the Salvation Army at the Church street barracks. The children were given toys, mittens to keep their hands warm, stockings, apples, candy and other gifts. They were also served with refreshments. One of the mem- bers of the Salvation Army was San- ta Claus, much to the delight of the little ones. « On Sunday the usual Salvation Army services will take place, morn- ing worship at 11 o’clock, Sunday school at 2:30 o’clock and praise ser- vice at 8 p. m.

New York Central advanced 7 1-2 points to 71; New Haven, 2 1-§ to 29; Erie, 2 3-8 to 16; “Soo,” 4 points to 81; Reading, 27-8 to 70 1-2; South- ern Pacific, 6 1-4 to 84; Union Paci- fic, 81-4 to 112, Southern Railway, 21-2 to 24 1-2; St. Paul jumped 11 points to 48; Atchison, 9 1-2 to 87 1-2; Delaware and Hudson, 8 points to 100; Canadian Pacific, 4 points to 134; Norfolk and Western, 7 3-8 points to 104. Included among the most substan- tial advances of the first half-hour were Baltimore and Ohio, which rose 17 points; Delaware and Hudson, 14; St. Paul, 12 1-2; Atchison, 10; Atlantic Coast line, 9 1-2; Northern Pacific, 9; Norfolk and Western, and Southern Pacific, York Central, 71-2; Louisville and Nashville, 6 1-2; Lackawanna and Chesapeake and Ohio, 5 each; Cana- dian Pacific and “Soo,” 4 each, and others 2 to 2 points. Industrials, coppers, shippings and an unusual array of specialties rose 2 to 4 points, the movement being the broadest and most extensive since the middle of the year. There was cansiderable profit-tak- ing on the early rise with consequent recessions of 2 to § points. St. Paul preferred, which rose almost 18 points in thé first dealings, reacted 10 points. Baltimore and Ohio, which only yesterday made a new low record, Te- corded a gain of 17 points. Dela- ware and Hudson later jumped an- other 6 points, making a total advance of 14 points within about ten minutes. The advance spread to all the other parts of the list, including war shares, equipments and utilities, including telephone and telegraph stocks. Profit taking after the first fifteen minutes caused recessions of 2 to 3 points among the stocks making greatest gains. The advances in Canadian Pacific were attributed to higher rates as- sured by the Dominion government. Short covering continued but further selling for profits proved a partial offset. Early reactions of 3 to 10 points were followed by fresh absorption which lifted some stocks, notably Great Northern, Rock Island coalers and Texas companies above its maximums. It also strengthened the war group, Trading diminished in the second hour, the market going through the process. of assimilation, but at noon activity was renewed at or near highest levels. Bonds of minor railroads profited 2 to 4. per cent. by this rise in stocks. Liberty 4's sold at 97 to 96.96 and the 3 1-2's at 98.48 to 98.46. The advance was actively resumed in the afternoon, industrials, war specialties and shippings showing ex- treme gains of 3 to 5 points. Stan- dard rails held the greater part of their rise and minor issues of that group developed further strength. 2 New York Stock Exchange quota- tions furnished by Richter & Co., members of the New York Stock Ex- change.

Government Steamer -Carries Coal to Ice Bound Settleshent. ‘Washington, Dec. 27.—The govern- meut steamship Roosevelt is on her way to Seattle with a full cargo of sealskins, seal meat, and other prod- ucts from the Seal Islands, having successfully carried out the novel and dangerous tagk of carrying coal and other supplies to the islands in the middle of the winter. Commissioner H. M. Smith of the Bureau of Fisheries, Department of Commerce, reports that as a result of the trip the natives are well fortified against the severe—weather that has already set in and will be much more comfortable and contentéd in conse- Guence. Great difficulty was experi- enced in unloading supplies and taking on the island products, as the Bering sea was constantly swept by tempestu- ous winds. The return cargo consists of 4,258 sealskins, and various casks of corned seal meat and other products, as well 2s 3,600 sacks of bones which will weigh between 350,000 and 400,000 pounds.

(Bridgeport Farmer) Thirteen times within a brief period | came the negro desperado, Baby Doll, into- the precincts of the city courts. Thifrteen times he escaped without any penalty being inflicted, that operated for his own good, or for the protection of the community. It becomes a question in the do- mains of morals to what extent the ! city court was an aceomplice before | the fact in the disgraeeful riot on | Sunday morning, and in the murder i that ensued. | Baby Doll comes from a race that | has haa comparatively small chance {in America. Somec of the members of | that race are refined, honest, industri- | ous and intelligent as any white men. | Some of that race hark back to the jungles of Ethopia. Under their mod- ern garments they are as savage as their ancient forbears. ‘When such a man is haled into the white man’s courts, petted by justice and sent back to carry on his work of disrupting society, how can it be sup- posed that he will become other than | an increasing menace to the social or- der. The community should count i morally accessory- to Baby Doll all those p should have taken' hig misdeeds, and did n Indeed Baby Dell culiar oath to behava the city court was pworn | ter justice in the interest munity, and the city oourt ed by men who have studssi schools, that they may justice is. The mayor, charged ! cution of the laws, had & that the negro kingdom of: should never come into The county comn duty to see that such & license from them, to hapdigs the agency of & 80 ed o a commodity as liquor, to be in the best of hands as an article of merchandise. The fact is that Baby Doll: petted and supported by the rules Bridgeport. No wonder this half. age\man thought he could do as pleased. K What is the matter? Are th who run the city court bad rhen? they are rather above the average mankind. Are the county ocom: sioners bad men? No, they are rather above the average of mankl The same is true of the mayor the boss who stands behind the may or and the chairman of the Repubii can town committee, to whom Doll, in his hour of peril, called as to source of relief. The difficulty is in the system these men together with many 6 have built up a system of opérhil government for the mutual behéfit those who control the governmeit: All these selfish attempts to X little unfairly on the side, are bug’ many mo‘cs in the great buhdld® evil, in which lay the institution’ _ v ated by Baby Doll; and many institutions. b : Boots and Opportuanity. (Meriden Record). The congressional gentleman '1.\' came back from France so grieve that he “saw things he does not like . to talk of’' omitted one wvital point in his logical processes. He felt that because he saw privates blacking ofli- cers’ boots the morale of the army. was being lowered: This is what ho! forgot: In the Prussian system of military castes, the man who blacks another" boots dges so because he is of in: ferior rank. It is assumed as a T™at- ter of course that the man beneath gets the disagreeable jobs because is beneath; that he is born that was and can never rise to anything 29 Whereas in the Amorican system, thé man who blacks another's baots s 80 simply because therc is a amount of work of one kind and an: other to be done, and the man who does it happens to have #me for i particular job. There is np odium at tached to it at all. It's just a littly plece of work. And in a demoa everybody works, and the herdest jobs are given those in the highest places. | And most important of eW, the | man who blacks his officer’s baots tc- day may tomorrow be receiving hie own officer's commission and next week, if his ability runs along that line, he may be in command of his . former commander.
