In Europe there are many grape
cures" where the diet consists almost
solely Of grapes, the various phos-
4phstes and acids in which very per-
cepubly cleanse the blood and make
for health. Since this is so, grapes
should be used extensively in our diet.
Barring the seeds, they are one of the
best fruits for children, and it is from
the grape that the housewife can
evolve so many delicious jellies, mar
malades and preserves.
Since 1t is impossible to have ripe
grapes in all seasons, even with the
best methods of storing in sawdust.
the qualities Of the grape can be pre-
served to great extent in grape juice
which, by the way, was not even
thought of so years ago.

Wellesley, Mass, March 22.-Some tragic
features Of the fire that consumed College
hall last Tuesday became known only to-
day, when it was announced that the
fruits of years OF special research work
for the advancement of science, which
had attracted international attention, had
been utterly destroyed. All notes, speci-
mems and apparatus used in original in
vestigation in the field of eugenics, zool-

probable that some of the experiments
can ever be repeated.

up of a new strain of a certain species

PROTEST CHANGE OF THE
LOCATION OF POST OFFICE

Washington, D. c., March Ex-senator
Burleigh Is in receipt of letters from
Pine Point asking that the change of To-
cation of the post offices from point
near the business section of the town to
one nearer the summer residential colony
at Pine Point Beach be prohibited. Sem
ator Burleigh Immediately took up the
matter with the department and asked
that they look into the merits of the case.
The complaints state that the change
of location will cause much inconvenience
to the all-the-year round residents. but
specifically stated that the complaint
was confined to the location of the Office
and not to the selection of Percy E.
leigh is informed by the post office de-
partment that the change of location was
authorized when the appointment of Mr.
Woodman was made.
The 18th class postmasters are required
to provide suitable quarters at their own
expenses and Mr.. Woodman had permits
sion from the department to change the
location of this office to a point S417 feet
southeast of the old office Although
within his right in making the change. it
may be that the department will look
into the question OF whether or not it is
suitable site. if upon expression it is
proved TO be inconvenient for the ma
iority Of the townspeople. but at present
any action is not anticipated.

Wilson and Advisers
Realize Their Task

Washington, March 22-Believing
that the foreign policy of the admin
istration depends upon the vote on
the repeal of the Panama tolls ex-
emption, President Wilson and his
advisers Were in consultation today
canvassing the situation. 1t is unusua.
for the President to be at his office
on Sunday, but he spent most of the
afternoon there with Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson and Secretary Tumulty.
They had talked with administration
leaders in Congress and learned that
a stubborn opposition had arisen par
ticularly in the House and those in
charge of the administration fight
there would have to work hard to
overcome it.
One of the peculiar phases of the
situation is that Speaker Clark, Ma
jority Leader Underwood, Rep. Kit
chin, Representative Fitzgerald and
others usually aligned with the ad-
ministration in it's policies, are oppos-
ing it now. With this opposition are
many Republicans and Progressives
and the probability of a close vote is
daily increasing. 1t is generally adj
mitted among the Presidents friends
that he is confronted with the most
serious opposition he has yet encount-
cred, and they point out that the gen.
eral effect on the nations foreign re-
lations in the event of the failure of
the repeal would surely lead to con-
siderable embarrassment in various
other diplomatic questions now pend

en-. as the big guns have ample pow
err to cover the three miles between the
mountains and Torreon.
It is said the manning of La Pila
would be a legitimate part of the de-
fence of Torreon, although its COM
parative isolation would make sup
port from other parts of the Federal
dcfences virtually impossible. The de-
tenders would be in danger OF being
absolutely cut off and for this reason
the rebels doubt that the the enemy,
if he is really there, will make more
than long range defence before fall
ing back upon the main force.
The first important move of the past
week took place when Gen. Villa haV-
ing appeared suddenly from Chihuahua
set his troops in motion early last Fri
day morning from Yermo, which is
about 100 miles north of Torreon. FIJI
teen miles north of this city. he came
upon a strong advance column OF the
Fe3erals who are believed to have
been under orders to retreat on APP
pearance of the enemy.
The appearance of the rebels was so
sudden, however, that the retreat be-
came almost a rout. The Federals, ike
the rebels, were mounted. and the en-
counter became a sort of steepe chase
With the pursuers smothered in the dust
kicked up by their mounts, firing bhndiy
from the saddle, not in the least impeded
by the scattered bullets which the Fed
erals sometimes turned to fire. The fight
continued at a galiop right into the
streets of this little city, where most OK
the Federal losses occurred. The bodies
of Jos were picked up by Villas men.
The Federals are believed to have car
ried off those who were wounded in this
city as only three were found. Inc reoel
loss was virtually nothing.
On the heels of the cavalry came other
troops and Gen. Benavenides with SUI
perior force ewas sent by rail against
TlahuaIito, town northeast of Bernie
iillo.
AT 2 great irrigation ditch shortly after
leaving Bermejillo Benavides came upon
a Federal force which he estimated 10
number 400. An hours engagement en-
sued as a result of which the rebel COM
mander reported to Gen. Villa the rout
of the enemy, leaving 80 dead on the field.
His own loss he reported as 5 Killed and
q
This force of government troops seems
to have been far in advance OF support
and the town of Tlahualito was garrison
ed by rebel squad without resistance.
Meanwhile, General Herrar occupied
Santa Clara and sent force to orloge
the ditch where Benavides had van
ouished opposition. Another force Oh
rebels under General Urbana had moved
on Mapimi, one of the most lihpoftah'
cities in the Torreon district ana occu'

ported ill today. but his troops were saio

100 Have Resigned
respondence.

The Associated Press was shown to-
night a letter which the provisional
authorities have received from an Of
ficer at the Curragh station, stating
that more than 100 officers had resign
ed, including all the cavalry officers.
Gen. Sir Arthur Paget, commanding
the troops in Ireland. had them pa
raded and told them, according to the
letter, that he had IAN express order
and request from the King himself to
ask every officer to go as ordered that
they might never be called upon to
fight and that if they refused there
might be mutiny in the army, which
would mean a revolution in England
and in six months there would be no
King, and no army"
Despite this appeal all the officers
refused to reconsider their resigna-
tions. A general officer of high stand
ing in the regular army was offered
the post of commander in chief of the
force which is to operate against the
Ulster Volunteers. When he declined
the offer the war office informed him
that his refusal meant the severance
of his connection with the army. He
persistent, anu TIE oi'Ci Sd

a friend of the general now command
ing at Belfast, who accepted.
There has been no diminution in the
activity of the Ulster army Today

tiers staff on duty at Craigavon, now

various hills and other strategic points

ton will begin the issuance tomorrow
of the drab- colored field uniforms to
the Special Service Corps of 1000 men
which has been especially organized,
chiefly of old soldiers and sharp shoot
ers, as a mobil striking force for the
first attack, in event of hostilities.
A sufficient number of motor cars
are available to enable the admins
tration to transport at least 1000 men
with rifles and ammunition to any
threatened point in Ulster three hours
from Belfast, independent of the rail-
way.
Ulster awaits with curiosity the next
move of the war Office and other au-
thorities, pending which the situation
remains unchanged. Absolute order
prevails in the city.
Eighty special service minute men
on duty at Craigavon, marched to the
Presbyterian church at Belmont early
this morning, taking their hospital
corps and ambulance men, even the
surgeons, but leaving so men behind
to guard the rifles and patrol the es-
tate while the others prayed in the
pews behind Sir Edward Carson and
other leaders.

culosis. declared by his friends to
have been contracted during his in
generation in the Fortress of SIS
Peter and Paul, recently returned IN

PASSING OF FEARED SUNDAY
RELIEVES ULSTER SITUATION
Continued from Page one)
Detection of Officers

What appears to be a reliable account
of the detection of the officers at Cur
ragh comes in Dublin dispatch. On
Friday morning the officers received no.
LITIGATION from the war Office that unless
they were prepared for active service in
Ulster under certain contingencies they
should send in their papers within II
hours AS a result of this notification
70 out of 76 officers, including Lord
Holmpatrick, resigned General Sir Ar
thur Pagett communicated with the war
office and subsequently had conference
with the Curragh officers.
General Pagett told them that the war
office was willing to accept the resigna-
lions of General Cough of the Third Cav
airy brigade and the senior officer of his
staff, Major Kearsley, but that the 9TH
ers would be individually liable for their
refusal to serve, which meant that they
might be court martialled.
General Cough and Mai. Kearsley de-
clined to accept the offer and said they
would stand or fall by their brother Off
GERS. The officers absolutely refused to
undertake hostilities against the Ulster
Loyalists.
This decision was forwarded in a spe-
cial message to London, and General
Cough and the colonies of the other regi-
ments were summoned by the war office
to proceed to London. 1t is understood
that there are additional provisional res
ignations from other regiments. and that
the government has decided that the Of
ficers domiciled In Ulster will not be
compelled to undertake active service
against their will. but will be given the
option of resigning from the army or
prolonged leave of absence.

NEW HAVEN AGREEMENT
Continued from Page one)

New York Thursday, when the agree
ment between the advisors of the road
and the department announced last
night, will be considered.
Elliott Confident
Chairman Elliott has been confident
that his directors will approve the ac-
ton taken here by himself and coun-
sell and with their approval he believed
the agreement should be submitted to
the stockholders and ratified within a
month.
In the meantime T. w. Gregory,
Jesse c. Adkins and f. M. Swacker,
the representatives of the department
of justice, who conducted the negotia-
lions for the government, will work on
some minor details of the dissolution
plan. 1t was said tonight that there
is no point now regarded as sufficient
ly important to necessitate further
conferences here with New Haven Of
ficials.
Action by Massachusetts will be
necessary before the trustees named
in the agreement to take over the Bos-
ton & Maine stock of the New Haven
can begin the most serious work of
their trusteeship, the disposition for
the New Haven of this Boston G. Maine
stock. Legislation removing the lien
which that commonwealth has over
this stock will be absolutely necessary
before the plan is worked out. Just
what steps will be taken in Massachu-
sets were not known here tonight.
Governor Walsh, however. was party
to several conferences here and is be-
lieved to know the needs of the situa-
ton. The final step in the dissolution
will be taken in New York after the
New Ravens stockholders and the
state of Massachusetts have acted,
when lawyers for the government and
the railroad will appear before the
United States district court and ask
for a decree embodying the terms of
the agreement announced here. Pend
ing submission of the plan to the
stockholders and action in Massachu-
sets the attorneys for the department
will probably devote some attention
to the preparation of this decree. II
probably will not be completed for
several weeks and will not be finally
approved by both sides until the nee
essary legislation has been signed by
Gov. Walsh.
