We need to dig deeper into their
manipulations, schemes and con-
spiracies in order to understand why
they so greatly dread the eye OF
federal scrutiny"

ton contained sa preamble an at

London.-King Constantine's pro-
test to the civilized world against Bus-
garian atrocities destroys the last
hope Of those who believed that Rus
sia would succeed in inducing the bel
ligerents to accept arbitration. The
spectators Of the struggle have been
confident throughout that Servda
would prove amenable to the coun-
sells of moderation in view Of the ap-
palling losses she sustained from
Macedonia, but were less hopeful that
Greece woud listen to reason, as her
people and army are obviously intoxi-
Gated by the victories over the dread

SALVATION ARMY'S
 CHRISTMAS APPEAL
(Communicated.)

The Salvation Army will take their stand Saturday in Main street, to re- ceive contributions for their annual Christmas dinner for the poor of the city They purpose sending out in baskets one thousand dinners of real Christmas cheer, also a tree for the children.
 Last year they supplied over twelve hundred dinners and tree for over five hundred. Adjutant Atkinson is desirous that this one will be the best as the need is great. In addition to this the local Army home during the past year supplied five thousand meals, one thousand poor men were accommodated and more than twelve hundred received shelter, and helped in various ways.
 The Army corps throughout the country distributed no less than four hundred thousand basket dinners and thousands of poor children were made happy by gifts of toys and clothing that otherwise would have had a cheerIess Christmas.
 The extent of this effort depends on the generosity of the friends of the poor and it is to be hoped that a, 1ib- eraI response will be given to their aR1ea1

 Deserved Success

Following the success of the opening performance last night of the annual minstrel show of the Boys department of the Y. M. c. A., there was big demand for seats today for the final performance tonight, and at noon most of the reserved seats in Warner hall had been sold. The minstrel show is given 8 novel production, with, the stage setting, instead of the conven- tfOna1 minstrel semi-circle, a scene from Camp Pootatuck, the summer camp on the Housatonic where the boys are wont to gather, and for the benefit of which the minstrel show is being given. There were many brand new jokes, medley of popular songs, plenty of clever dancing, and all that was nec- essary to make the production a gen uine minstrel performance to com pare with the burnt cork aggregations of the professional stage.

BENNETT TELLS OF
TRUNK ROADS
Commissioner Addresses Automobile
 Club.

1 The construction and repair of state 1 highways and the work which the | present state highway commission is | attempting to accomplish were the | chief features of an interesting talk ! that was given before the members 1 of the Automobile Club of Hartford l Wednesday evening.
 MT. Bennett divided his talk into three sections treating of the con- 1 struction of highways, their repair and the special problems which con front roadbuiIders in Cinnecticut. Under the head of the construction of roads he told of the varying value of graded, gravel roads, bituminous roads, and the road which is the best of all the bituminous and gravel road. MT. Bennett emphasized the fact that the lasting quality of the roads de- bends very largely upon the drainage of the road bed.
 The commissioner said, in regard to repairing the roads, that he was In favor of the patro1ling of the high ways, if force of men could be placed in charge of the work who could be depended upon. He did not think that an extensive system of patro1ling was advisable until the trunk line roads in the state were in good con dition throughoue.
 Probably the most interesting part of the commissioners talk was his de- scription of the seven trunk line high ways which the commission is trying to complete through the state in the next two years. Mir. Bennett said that therA are no less than twenty eight truI1K highways through the state. Of these the present com mission proposes to complete seven.
 The first of these trunk roads runs from New Haven to Westerly, R. I. It is at present in very bad condition.
 The road from New Haven to Springfield is in pretty good condi- ton to complete as soon as possible. Another important line is the road from Stratford to Winsted, through Derby, Shelton and Waterbury to Tor rington. There is a bad break at the very beginning of this road for dis tance of about three miles and work on this part will be begun in the spring.
 Connecticut travellers will be able to go into New York state with more convenience when the trunk line road from Hartford to Waterbury and through Danbury to Mill Plain is com p1eted. This route is in very bad condition at the present time.
 Directly across the northern section of the state a, trunk line will be com p1eted, running from Lakeville to Win sted and through Hartford to Wi11im- antic and Putnam to the Rhode Island State line.
