Dutton Accepted—Many War Stamps Sold Before Close of Chautauqua. R Howard MacFarland, gas fitter and electrical worker, was relieved of a valuable gold watch Weadnesday after- noon, but the time piece was returned to him before midnight. He was en- gaged in repair work in the moving picture machine booth of the Central theatre, leaving his vest with . the watch ig a pocket in the up-stairs of- fice. When he completed his work and donned the vest he missed the watch. He reported the loss to the manager of the theatre, and a search was started. - The regular employes, ‘as well as the small boys who hang around the place doing odd jobs were closely questioned, some Tepeatedly and at frequent intervals. Finally one of the boys stated that he could locate the watch and was told to go in search of it. About 9 o'cleck at night the boy call- ed at Mr. MacDonald’s: home and handed over .the watch, but with a photo removed from inside the case. The boy said he got it from another boy, but did not know the boy's name. Mr. MacFarland supposed the matter was closed as he had no desire to carry it farther, so far as he was con- cerned. There has been considerable petty thieving in Pawcatuck and Patrolman Wheeler has resolved to get the boy who stole the watch, if possible, and has invoked the assistance of Chief Brown and the Westerly police. With Officer Curtin, the Pawcatuck officer calied at the Memorial and Library building, where MacFarland was at work, and the watch was borrowed as an aid in the detection of the boy who took the timepiece.: It was expectéd that an arrest would be made within a short time. At a special meeting of the Broad Street Christian church it was unani- mously voted to accept the recently tendered resignation of the minister, Rev. John G.

INDEPENDENCE FOR GERMANY Philippe Heinekin Shatters: Dream of Pan-Germans. Amsterdam, July 17.—These Pan- Germans who dream of a complete economic independence as the result of the projected Middle Europé League are rudely awakened by Phillppe Hef- neken, of the orth: German Llovd Steamship Company.; Who, ti,fl the periodical , Deltséhe: , pub- lishes an article whirixsgnflga tracted a mood deal of attention. . _ 1t. is Bremen, Hamburg and:the oth- er seaports where the entente strangle- [ hold will be the most severely felt, the director says, and the practfeal views of business men there are apt to clash with those of political scheemers in Berlin. Director Heinekin ‘who ex- pressly disclaims judging the ques- tion from a too narrow shipowner's point of v’ew, warns against exagger- ated expectations from the “Dblessed word ‘mittel-Europa’ as a cure-all for the economic ills to which the Central Po are heir! It a popwlar fallacy, he declares, to imagine that middle Europe will make up for lost markets abroad. He fers the principal adonted at Vien- na in a resoluticn eof the federated Austro-German Commercial unions last June which was: “The résumption of economic relations with all natfons.” Director Heineken cites a series of figures taken fromn the German pre- war imports list and continues by ssy- ing that a glance atit will showit will be ippossible in the future-to cover all these mq>ds from domestic sources. Austria-Hungary, which has no col- onies. he says, is especiallv depend- ent on overseas supplies. It is of prime mportance, Herr Heineken : thinks, the Central Powers rid them- war of the shackles of what he terms a state socialistic war administration and turn to individual enterprise. Middle Furope, he concludes, must be made a means to that end but must never he regarded as a political achievement for its own sake. S e mill LEONARD BRIDGE Mrs. Maria C.
