WORWICH BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY MARCH 1, DANIELSON AND PUTNAM NEWS DANIELSON George E. Cook, for years a Danielson reaident and well known in Brooklyn anc i1 the town of Plainfield, where he is em ployed during the summer seasons by Wil- lam S. Brown of Shepard Hill farm, ha: written from Tampa to Mr. Brown, tefila of a recently completed trip to Sout. America. For years Mr. Cook has been spendin winters in Florida and has found time fo other tri:s to points farther south. Tr year he has deen in South America. Hi stay thers was of threo months' duratio ta writes. He tells of crossnig the Andes mountains at an elevation of 16,000 feet, ridip; over the railroads with the high- est slevation in the worm and of sailing for 1,000 miles on the Amazon river. In Argentina Mr. Cook tells of secing some splendid Holsteln-Freisian cattle soch as are to be found at Shepard Hill farm and of the intsrest thers in develop- ment gure bred heris. One South American breeder told Mr. Cook that he Teally belisved that the Holseins wers the fiest dreed of cattls on earth and of there being records going back to the Garden of Eden to prove this, but Mr. Cook isn't sisting that this is really 2 fagt, al though the breedsr told him—it peems that have some glib talkers in the Argen- tine—that Eve milked a Holstein cow to Carnish milk for Adam's table. Mr. Cook says that the Argentine it & great sheep raising country and that the Slimate and much of the produce there 18 mmch the came as in the New England Macs He watched the season’s haying yoing on in January. Mr. Cook 15 to remain in Tampa unti and then is coming north A recent demomstration in Putnam— through the slaughtering of a cow that re- ncted when subjectsd to tnberoulin testing —bas had tta effect in Danielson as else- where. A call from consumers of milk is going up for supplies only from cows that Baive been subjected to this test and found fres from tuberculosis. Nothing that has Bagpened i5° sastern Connecticut has ever Pad woch 4 compelling effect upon the minds of the average consumer of milk s the description of the polluted and rot- ting o f the cow killed after hav fng been found by testing to be in an ad- vanced state of tuberculosis. Milk from fuberculin tested cows {o available for those who desirs i, and it is predicted that the day & not far distant when such msli—and such milk only—will be permit- ted to be offered for sale in the state of Connecticut. Killingly residents will read with more or less envy—of a benificent nature—this morning that the town of Thompson Fas found that it can get siong this year with an 18-mill tax, as against 23 mills last year. Killingly citizens will he called to ponsider at the adjourned aonual town fmseting in the near future the tax rate for the bresent year.

Passengers who board a car this morning will find that they can buy tokens from the conductors at three for 5 cents and that these tokens will be accepted when proffered by passengers for a ride that eretofore has been cost- ing 10 cents. It is hoped that the saper riding will be the means of winning the road even more liberal pa- tronage than s now being accorded it.

Thompso, a town with a ‘grand list of ahout $2.500,000, is one of the few towns in the state that has no town debt, Thompson pays as it goes. Since the enastment of a Connecticut statute providing that its towns shall appro- Driate each year sufficient money to meet all authorized expenditures Thompson not only has rigidly adhered to this policy, but also, = few years back, took care of & small debt it was carrylng by laying a tax about two milis’ higher than was needed for the current year's sxpense and quickly cleaned up its deflcit, Thompson residents. are now -rid ‘of the obligation of paying the heavy in- terest charges that are such a drag on the financial operations of. many of the towns In eastern Connecticut each vear, and are well that this year has-brought them a reduction of 5 mills from the high tax rate of last year.

P.)—The chamber of deputies today began dis- cussion of the army Dbill which is ex- pected to last several days and to sei- tle the length of compulsory service to which France will adhere, as well as the size of her permanent army. Deputy Fabry, who drew up the re- port for the chamber's army committee on the government's bill, was the first speaker n favor of the measure. He de- clared the principal aim of the army committee as well of the authors of other counter proposals must be the gen- eral readiness of the country for war, not the restriction of the problem to the army organization of peace time. He declared this was the obligation fmposed upon every continental power which might be drawn wilingly or un- willingly into the rigks of war. The army committee’s eventudl alm was one year’s service, he said but it considered elzhteen months necessary until certain conditions had been fulfilled, which it hoped would be fulfilled by 1925. ‘“The words security, disarmament and army,” declared Deputy Fabry, “do not signify the same thing in France as in England and the United States. We are not preparing for war; we are taking precautions against war. “England and the United States, with- out land frontiers to defend, understood the necessity for conseription only when their frontiers also reached from Nieu- port to Belfort. Enzland and the United States regard the army as an expendi- tlonary corps, but this conception lg far different from the national conseript army imposed upon France by the nec- essity of defending her land frontiers M. Fabry declared there was a pro- found difference between the situation of 1914 and that of 1922. “Before the war,” he continued, “we were never able to measure Germany’s power, which was always greater t\anseurq Mow we are in conditions favorable #nough to us so that the Gefman menace is dan. gerous only in the measure that we allow it to be dangerous. He considered that the material dis- armament of Germany had been real. ized, although he declared it was en- dangered by the easiness of converting her factorles Into means of making chemical war products. As regards Gere many’s moral disarmament, he sald there were two Germanys: One consisting of the army, the universities, the state func- tionarles, the wealthy class and indus- trial leaders whose pollcy was based upon non-execution of the peace treaties, and non-responsibility for the war, and the other composed chlefly of workers who, while detesting France, abominated wa The twa conditions which we strive to maintaln” he continued, permanent control apd execution of Ger- many's long-term &ngagements as the surest guarantee that the equilibrim of Central Europe shall not be troubled, and a milltary force in France sufficient to convince Germany that the equiltbrim, broken in our favor by the victory, Is not on the point of being re-established or broken for her benefit, “Thus the necessity of any ammy in time of peace in France becomes appar. ent.
