 War Hits This Town.
 For the last few weeks the Euro bean war has been taking precedence over all local questions in the con- claves that are supposed to indicate the state of public opinion. whats the latest news about the warp Is tho inquiry fired at the reporter as soon as he starts to pry open the screen door. Slightly disconnected at thts reversal of the normal method of news gathering, the reporters who have been assigned to picket duty In Plainville, held a secret meeting this morning, and swore a solemn VOW to turn the tables on the business, pro- fcssional and other men who have been pumping for war news. The re- porters have been asking the ques- tions today-the war remained the topic of conversation-and the an- swers show, in a slight way, how the struggle is connected with Plainville.
 Local druggists agree that the price Of some drugs has advanced mora than one hundred per cent since hos tilities in Europe began. More than half of the drugs comprising the staple stock of drug store are manu- factured by German chemists. In the present crisis no drugs are being shipped from Germany and the Ger man chemist has left the laboratory to so to the front. American drug firms are left with small supply of drugs on hand.
 Judge George S. Byington says that he doesn't know what will happen when the present supply of the Ger man druas is exhausted. He thinks that people will have to be satisfied with homemade products that are nearly as good. During the days of the Civil war Judge Byington says that people in the south had to for-' sake drugs and medicines and revert to the healing herbs that their grand parents had told about. The judge does not think that there will be necessity for reverting to herbs in the ore sent crisis. Certain it is, however, that the price of common drugs has scared nightly in the last two weeks.
 Many uncomplim entary things have been said about local grocers who are selling only twelve pounds of sugar for a dollar One of the grocers told the Herald man today that responsi- bility for the price of sugar cannot be laid on local shoulders. Nor does he think that any group of sugar mag mates is boosting the price for private gain.
 Its all a. matter of supply and de- mand, mostly a matter of demand" said the grocer--"France and Eng land have been getting large portion of their sugar from Germany. a. coun- try where the beet-sugar industry has been developed to an astonishing de- gree. Now Germany has been re- moved as a factor in world commerce and trade. She is husbanding her re- sources for the war. France and England have invaded the sugar mar ket in the West Indies and Central America. Naturally the price has gone way up. There are too many

 Was Chicken Thief in Tolls? Local police believe that the man discharged from a charge of vagrancy in the New Britain police court this morning is the person who went about this town a few weeks ago getting
 chickens under false pretences. He
 said that he was David J. Molumphy
 of Meriden, a relative of John T. Mo-
 lumphy, proprietor of the Connecti- cut Valley Orchard company and that he was employed there. This strengthens their theory, for the thief told his victims that he worked on MT. Molumphy's farm. Inquiry at the Molumphy home to- day elicitated the information that no man named Molumphy had ever worked for the proprietor and, fur
 thermore, that he had no relative liv- ing in Merideh. There is a David
 J. Molumphy in Hartford, who is re- lated to the local farmer, but he is a physician of high standing. | The authorities here have been on the gentleman chicken thiefs trail for some time, and hope to place him behind the bars soon. The man who appeared in the New Britain court this morning was arrested last night
 when found lying at the corner of Rockwell avenue and Locust street. Dance d Success. A large number of young people from Berlin, Kensington and New Britain enjoyed the program of dances given at Foresters' hall last evening

IrOnsides Lose Close Game
to Famous Lincoln Giants

Although the Ironside f. C. of this
city is credited with having lost its
first game of the season, it played a
fine game against the famous Lin
coin Giants at Olympic Field, New
York, yesterday afternoon. The locals
lost out by the score of to 3. A de-
feat by team of the calibre of the
Lincolns is no disgrace.
Ernie Wolf started on the mound
for the Irons des, and pitched fine
:1all for six innings. George Hughes
relieved him and was wild. The Lin
coins took advantage of this, and,
coupled with some timely singles,
netted a run in the seventh inning
and two more In the eighth. Otto
Hambacher played in right field for
the locals and had four hits, includ-
ing a pair of two baggers.
The Ironsides will open its home
season at Park View oval next Sun
day morning, meeting the Williams
port Club of Brooklyn.

that his protege is anxious to meet

to meet him. Any boxer who meets
