There is one paramount matter to be considered in regard to the men who served in the war. Those who, through that service find themselves difficulties, should be taken care of or helped as each case warrants. Absolutely nothing should be done that will endanger the state fund. This being understood, without qualification, the proposed bonus of $10 month to all who served may be considered. There are many people in the state who do not ask for help from the state fund who are entitled to that help. They re- fuse to consider themselves sick weak or in circum- stances as a result of the war. DBut, nevertheless, they are today in un- fortunate positions misfortune in clearly or straitened because of sick- or bad luek in- to their These should helped, If the bonus proposed would help them endangering the great fund, the bonus would be thing.

Beardsley Says The severity of the storms of this past winter will cost the New Britain division of the Connecticut company thousands of dollars for the repair of rolling stock, damaged by passing automobiles and automobile trucks, the welding of tracks which have spread because of the cold, painting many trolley cars which have been’ !'scratched and marred and the repair of stretches of highway 18 Inches on elther side of the-track, I, L. Beards- ley, superintendent of the company, said this morning. Mr. Beardsley in commenting upon the winter sald that it was the hard- est on the Connecticut company of any in the past. The storms not only |tied up trafio on all lines at various |times but damage has been done to |trolley cars which have figured in minor accidents or because of the ruts {in the streets have been scratched and | marred by passing autoists and trucks. The vestibules of a few cars have been smashed as the result of collisions all due to the storms. Repair Gangs at Work, Men have already started at work on many of the principal streets welding stretches ofstracks which are badly in need of repair. On several] streets it has already been found necessary to repair sections of pave- ment. Mr. Beardsley remarked this morn- |ing that many trolley cars on the |streets at the present time appear as ‘lhouxh they had been through a bat- tle because they have been so badly | marred. All of these cars will be |scraped and repainted during the spring months. When asked if he (uought any new | ralls would be laid this year, Mr. | Beardsley said Ahat possibly the rails {en South Main street from Ash to | Brook streets would be replaced if the city decided to put in permanent | pavement on this stretch of roadway. Although the rails in Kensington and Berlin are not in good condition, Mr. Beardsley could not say whether or not any new ones would be laid there this season. Tt is not expected { that new rails will be laid on any of the lines within the city of New Brit- ain, he stated. The rails will all be welded wherever this is found nec- ecssary. No Groove Rails Expected. Mr. Beardsley was asked by a rep- resentative of the “Herald" if he might be put in place in this city, such as are used on many of the lines in Hartford and New Haven. He said that 75 per cent of the rails used by the Connecticut ‘com- pany are not groove rails and he did not believe that such rails would be laid in New Britain at the present | time, In commenting upon improved vics, Mr. Beardsley said that he md not contemplate changes on any of the lines running in and out of this city. There is a possibility, he said, that with the growth in Belvi- dere, a 15 minute schedule through- | out the entire day might be granted within another year. At present the cars on that line operate on a 15 min- ute schedule in the afternoon and night. LEGION MAN SEES PLOT T0 BRING KAISER BAC | [ Americanism Director Warns Against Hindenburg Propaganda in U, S, Indianapolis, March 15.—A revo- | lution for the restoration of the Prussian monarchy, including rein- statement of the Hohenzollerns, is impending in Germany under von Hindenburg's leadership, in the opinion of Garland W. Powell, na- | tional dircetor of the American com- mission of the American Legion, who issued a warning to all Americanism officers of the Legion to be on guard against German propaganda. The picture of von Hindenburg is reappearing in the American pa- pers as it did in 1914,” Mr. Powell stated. “He has been selected by the | German Monarchist party to rattle | the sabre in the kaiser style and | bring ahout a coup d'ctat to restore thg old regime. Ile opened this campaign by calling for war with rance in his address to the German Veterans' league in Hanover yester- | day. Hindenburg is still the hero of lGt:rmm\y and his reappearance is a mz»nacl- to the peace of the world.” “Germany is in better position for war than the world realizes, but this German propaganda is b(ing' | exerted to bring the American pnopls| to believe otherwise. The American !commlsslon has information of thel | course of German propaganda efforts | | in. this country for the last year. | There are 30,000 Americans buried lin I'rance who fell in breaking the Hindenburg line in 1915, The Amer- fean people will not forget this in reading Hindenburg's new threat of | war."

Loveridge, Jr, 27, of 170 Parkway North, East Orange, who was arrest- ed with another man Tuesday night charged with robbing the home of wealthy residents of Bernardsville and Iar Hills, N, J., of more than $60,000 worth of jewelry and other goods, is a graduate of the Military Academy at West Point and served as a major in the American army oversee Makes Confession Loveridge, according to the pulleo., admitted that he and his companion, Marc Powell, of 44A James street, Newark had robbed seven homes. For his part, he said, he had a good in- come, and did not have to steal, his adventure in crime being, according to the story he is said to have told the police, “merely for the excitement and romance of the thing.” One of the persons most surprised at Loveridge's connection with the burglars was his own wife. She re- fused to believe that the valuable goods that the police found in thelr home had been stolen. Wife Was Surprised | She said she had understood they {were gifts to her husband from his friends and admirers, particularly Powell, g When the men were trailed Tues- day night a vast store of stolen goods was recovered in a garage in Willlam street, East Orange. It included jew- €lry, silverware, curios, sporting goods, silk dresses, rugs, liquors and a vari- ed assortment of other articles. The value of the hoard found in the garage, ' according to the police, wis much more than was at first believed. The total value of the goods now re- covered is placed at $50,000. The police and private detective agencies who have been working on the mysterious robberies of many homes in exclusive sections of north- |ern New Jersey said that when they jllnish checking up on Powell and Lov- jeridge the amount of their burglaries prohalfly will run even higher.
