It is self-explanatory: New Britain Chamber of Commerce, Cit Dear Sirs: There appearcd in The New Britain tecord last evening the following paragraph, included in an account of the recent meeting between the news- paper publishers and your Mercantile bureau; “The out-of-town circulation of the two local newspapers was discussed and figures presented, showed that The Record's circu- latlon in New Britain exceeds that of The Herald.” I hereby submit that the above ap- pears to he a deliberate attempt to misrepresent the facts at that meet- ing, done, presumably, at the instiga- tion of The Record to make it ap- pear that The Chamber was shown that The Record’s New Britain cir- culation was greater than that of The Herald. I call upon you to cause to be published in The New Britain Record a true transcript of the ac- tions of the meeting, if you can. J, W. Lockett of The Record, who repre- sented that paper at the meeting ‘pro- duced no circulation figures whatever. The Herald brought in its circulation book verified by the Audit Bureau of Circulations. Mr, Lockett made the statement that he had no circulation figares with him as he did not know circulation was to be discussed. The Herald presented its figures, The Record none. The inference is ob- vious. Heretofore The Herald has care- fully refrained from making any com- nient in its columns relative to the circulation claims of The Record, be- lieving that it was a matter for ad- vertisers themselves to decide but when The Record makes a false com- parison of The Herald's circulation and attempts to give the impression that the information to substantiate its declaration was given before the Chamber of Commerce, The Herald feel§ in duty bound to repudiate the claim of its contemporary and to volce the great question in its circula- tion utterances. The Chamber of Commerce stands for honesty in business and truth in advertising. It appears from the above, to the casual reader, as if THe Chamber had been shown that The Record's local circulation was larger than that of The Herald. This con- struction of the meeting is a falsifica- tion, done in our opinion, with the intention of harming our busi- ness. Naturally misrepresentation of Chamber of Commerce board activi- ties by a newspaper member of The Chamber is resented by another mem- ber whose business the first is trying to harm. The action as perpetrated seems to place the seal of approval by The Chamber upon something that is not so. The Chamber has no busi- ness to allow this to he done; to al- low falsifications to be printed. Please take steps to do the right thing by one of your members, Sincerely yours, HERALD PUBLISHING CO. Per J. Vance, P. 8. I might state that The New Britain Herald stands ready and will- ing to donate to whatever charity The Chamber of Commerce designates the sum of one thousand dollars provid- ing The Record can prove, through any certified accountant accustomed to handling newspaper circulation fig- ures, *a circulation in New Britain greater than that of The Herald or a total circulation in this district great- er than that of The Herald for the six months' period ending April 1. The Herdld circulation is more than 8,000 which we now feel justified in assert- ing is far greater than that of The Record, even when it may include those papers given away in an un- availing attempt to nominate O. I Curtis at the republican primaries re- cently. J. V.

Gerard) Former Ambassador to Germany. New York, April 20,—What I have for a year or more predicted in speechel and articles has happened, Germany, forced into a corner by the demand for sums greater than can be wrung from the German peo- ple, has chosen to make an alliance with Russia and to seek from the eco nomic benefits to be derived from such an alliance the wherewithal to pay her pressing creditors. Few people realize that for years the commercial language of Russia was German, that the cducated part of the population of the Raltic states is Germanic, and that from the men of German descent {in these states were chosen many of the hest gen- erals and administrators of the old Rusgia. And as surely as night follows da there will follow a military alliance between Germany and Russia. France may well fear the day when the hordes of Russia, drilled and dis- ciplined by Germans, led by Germans, with all the vast resources of Russia 19: Gerard Says Russo-German T reaty Builds New European War Machine Former Ambassador Says France May Well Fear Army of | Teutonic Drilled Russians Invading Europe— Life of New Poland is Threatened. administered by Germans, will across Isurope in that constant to the west which seems a brute stinct of all Kuropeans.

The resolution suggests that the ad- | visability of such purchase be consid ered and a report made to the next meeting. During the recent elections at Hart- ford, the selectmen and registrars went to that city to study the methods employed, They were informed that each of the 10 booths costs $200 to erect andstake apart each year. The buildings are the smallest type prac- ticable for use with three voting ma- chines. Tn addition to the f{nitial costs, the use of such poliing places here would entail an added expendi ture of $1,200, which wonld more than double the present costs of elec tion. A plan has heen proposed to the selectmen wherehy they can conduct elections with but three portable Looths, provided they are made a Iit- tle, larger than those now used in Hartford. 1'nder this plan, two wards would use each a booth, the structure belng so partitioned as to allow to such use without confusion, and city property could be utilized, making ft unnecessary to partially obstruct traf- fic in the streets. The plan is this: The first and sec- ond ward booth would be placed on Franklin Square park, which is the dividing line between those two vot- ing districts; the third and fourth ward booth would be on central square, which divides the wards by which the building would be used; a third booth, to care for the fifth and sixth wards, would bhe placed on the triangle near No. 3 fire engine house, this being a part of the boundary line between the districts named.

[New Haven Police Get Alleged Waterbury Slayer RUSSIA SAYS; \Financial, and Economic Blockade of Teutons Being Considered As Penalty |Allies Are Notified by Poin- care That France Insists on Energetic Measures. Genou, April 20,.—(By the Associate ed Press)—Premier Lloyd George toe day said the German delegation to the economic conference had agreed to accept the condition of the allies not to participate in further discussions of Russian affairs as a resnlt of having signed the Russo-German treaty at Rapallo last Sunday, * Mr. Lloyd George emphatically de- nied that Dr. Walter Rathenau the German foreign minister and signa- tory for Germany of the treaty had ever informed him, either directly or indirectly of negotiations regarding the Russo-German pact. Mr. Lloyd George said the political commission of the conference would meet tomorrow to consider the Rus- slan reply to the allied proposals transmitted to the Russian delegates last week. The reply was expected to be received today. The premier predicted success for the conference. The Rusians say the treaty must stand. French Ready to Act Pa pril 280.—(By the Associate ed Pr _Instructions sent by Premier Poincare to the French ame bassadors in the capitals of the allies and fully approved by the cabinet are to insist that energetic measures must be taken and penalties applied to Germany if the Russo-German treaty is not abrogated, regardless of what the Genoa conference may de- cide. No More Hesitation The premier's position is that there can be no more hesitation in the exe- cution of the treaty of Versailles and that unjess its execution is insisted upon now with evidence of determin- ation on the part of the allies the Versailles pact niight as well as be abandoned altogether. He holds that none of the conces- sions made to Germany has led im any respect to conciliation but rather that they have been taken by Ger- many as evidences of the weakness of the allies and as encouragement for further resistance. Premier Poincare has held con- sultations with a number of the leaders of the different parties in the past two days, besides keeping the cabinet in close touch with the situa= tion. Advise Firm Attitude The conservatives and the natione alists advised a firm attitude, as was expected while the more liberal ele- ments in the parliament, represented by such laders as Deputy . Herrlot, head of the radicals also gave the premier to understand that they would support the cabinet in demand- ing that a stop be put to violations of the Versailles treaty. Treaty is Violated It was pointed out today that the Rosso-German treaty had brought to light violations of the Versailles paet by Germany in respect to military ma- terial, the Germans having it appears, sold the arms which the Russian refugees had left in Germany instead of handing them over to the allied commission for destruction as proe vided by the peace treaty. Article one of the Rt at the end of Class C reads: Russian government re- nounces payment of the sum Germany has derived from the sale of KRussian army material transported in to Gere many." so-German Kind of Penal Speculation concerning the s is already rife here form of penalties to be imposed upon Germany, as it is considered most probable that some action of this sort will be taken. The occupation of the Ruhr valley is the foremost suggestion although there is authoritative opinion to the effect that the allies are unlikely to adopt the precise penalty which the Germans most expect and are perhaps best prepared to meet. The financial and economic penalties provided for in the treaty, it is argued, would permit the allies to bring pressurc of the most offective sort at much less cost and trouble than an extension of the mili- tary occupatior Cabinet Gets Reports The cabinet this morning met with Premier Poincare who read the latest dispatches from the French delegation New Haven, April 20, — While making a visit of inspection in house | |celiars this morning, Officer Michael |Quinn found @ man Iying on a mat- tress in the cellar of the house num- bered 102 Chapel street, He answered |the description of a man sought by | Ansonia police as having heen in volved in a fight last night which end ed in the death of Overeli Chenensky.
