TOBACCO FARM PLANNED.
w. A. Reist Of York. Pa., to Raise the
 Weed at Eln1viIle Place.

w A. Reist, owner of the Colonial hotel at York. Pa. and of what is known as the Sargent or chicken farm near Elnlville. is to introduce a new form of agriculture into KiIlingly dur ing the coming season-the raising of tobacco in q commercial way. AlT Reist. who has owned the farm for several years, has arrived here with some men he has employed and who are expert tobacco growers and the work preparatory to growing such 9 crop is to be taken up at once.
 Last year 500 tobacco plants were set out on the farm as an experiment. These thrived and at the end of the season were harvested and cured and sent to MT Reist for disposal. He passed them along to a. tobacco broker. who, after examination of the quality of the tobacco and it's condition, paid MT. Reist S81.50. The owner had eX- pected to receive about S15. An ex- animation and analysis of the soil at the Sargent farm has shown that it is of prime quality for growing tobacco, so the work is to be undertaken on an extended scale this season when it Is planned to have five acres set out with plants.
 The Sargent farm comprises about 200 acres. There seems to be no doubt, after the experiments that have been conducted and the very satisfaC- tory results achieved, that tobacco growing can De made pfontaD1e pur- suit in Killingly, as it Is along the Connecticut river in this state It is believed that other land in Killingly, and not far distant from the Sargent farm. is equally well adopted for to- ,bacco growing, and the fine promise given by MT. Reist's experiments will certainly lead to a more widespread investigation as to what can be done on these acres. Tobacco growing is a money making proposition for farmers in various central Connecticut towns, and it may become so in this section of the state, where tobacco has been grown only by a few individuals and only in quantities sufficient for their personal use. The tobacco produced at the chicken farm has proved to be of high grade and commands a very satisfactory price.

FORCED CABINET TO QUIT.
Lord Kitchener of England Made Ss'
eret Trim to Paris.

New York, Sept. 26.-The Evening
World publishes an interview with DR..
Fred S. Mason OF New York, who re-
turned on the olympic on which the
physician claims to have been inform
ed by high French official at Bou-
ogne that it was Lord Kitchener,
Britain's minister of war, who forced
the resignation of the French cabinet
shortly after the outbreak of the war.
DIR. Mason, according to the Evening
World, is a close friend of Surgeon
General Bell of the British expedition
airy force in France. Gen. Bell intro
duced him to the French official. DR..
Mason gave the following report of the
facts as they were told him:
When 100000 British under Gen.
French were opposed by 225,OOO Ger
mans OF Gen. Won Kluck's army at
Mons, Gen. French saw that he was in
desperate situation. After the first
days fghting and when the over
whelmins forces OF the Germans
threatened to surround the entire Brit
ish expedltionary force, Gen. French
sent an earnest appeal for aid To the
French military commander OF thai
district. He asked that 10000 French
troops be rushed to his assistance.
THE French commander did not re-
spond to Gen. French's appeal for
three days and by that time the Brit
ish had managed to cut their way out
Of the German trap by almost super
human effort and at "A tremendous loss.
Lord Kitchener was furious. lie
made a secret trip to Paris and laid his
complaint against the dilatory French
commander before President Poincare
and the French war minister.
President Poincare. eager to make
every concession to Lord Kitchener,
forced the resignation Of his whole
cabinet which was disposed to back up
the war minister I'm opposition to
