Berlin News BELT VALUED AT $400 STOLEN FROM BALLARD 1ldl Theft of klad ia Past ! Three Months. CEMETERY ASSOCIATION 10 MEET. 5
Will Consider Plans for Improving Grounds-DoctOr Says That Miss Smith Will Recover-Rev. Carleton Hagen Writes Home-Briefs.

The theft from the Tallard Brick company last night of an endless belt valued at s40O was the third crime of it's kind which has been com mitted in Berlin within period of three months and in which more than s1,oO0 was lost. The police are p1AkIed as to what the motive of the thieves may be.
 Gibney was notified early this morn ing of the theft at Tallard's. Ac- companied by Deputy Sheriff James Clark, he went over to the brickyard to Investigate. It was found that the5window of the power house had been smashed by the thieves in their endeavor to gain entrance. After slipping the belt, which was twenty inches wide and sixty feet long, from the dynamo, they crossed the rail- road tracks and leaping a fence, made away across lots. The officers Iwere able to follow their footsteps as far ssas to the fence and they found ! the Suppression of the coiled belt on the other side of the structure, where l the thives evidently dropped it before kgetting over themselves. It is esti- mated that the welt weighed in the neignborhod of 800 pounds
 About week ago, someone broke Unto the engine house at the brick yard and stole a smaller and less lvaluable belt, gaining entrance by forcing a paddock. MT. Tallard is determined to run down the thieves hnd 4.he stated this morning that he would ask to have state police put on neir trail.
 Early in January, Stiles and Reyn- bids power house was entered and a piece several feet long cut from their endl4ss bit, running it competely. The loss was estimated at about $500. A short time later the engine house at the Merwin Brick company's yards was entered and a. piece cut out of an endless belt there. which cost about $400.
 Prosecutor Gibney said this morn Ing that he was inclined to think the dAmaxe was done by some party that Is trying to put the brickyards out Of business He based his opinion on tho fact that, after they have been
 ut, the endless belts have very little [alue. The leather of which they are made is too pliable to be used for

A44r#.a~.- She does not realize what has oc = cured and in speaking to one of the members of her family last evening, remarked wearily. that she had then been i'll in bed five weeks and that she felt no better than she did at the beginning of that period.
 Mrs: Hagen received a letter this morning from Rev. Carleton Hazen. the pastor of the kensington Con- gregational church, who had charge of the body of Mrs. Webster on the trip to her late home in Eden, Vermont, which she left week ago today. Tn his words, the people of Eden were "a sorrowful crowd! when they viewed her remains at the funeral yesterday. It was very evident" he writes, that she was loved generally about the town and was leader in the church work there." After the services, Rev. MT. Hazen, went to Johnson, Vermont, Where one of his brothers resides. He will return to kensington about 3 o'clock tonight of his plans mater ialize.

dollars for national defense-an in
GREASE approximately of $40. COZ, 900
over last year-constitutes the amount
President Wilson and his advisers now
estimate should be appropriated by
the next congress for the army and
navy.
The president has had before him
for several weeks the outlines of a
military policy of a continuing char
acter framed by Secretary Garrison
after ore than a years study with
officers Of the general staff. With
it the president is in hearty accord,
regarding it as, a conservative, we'll
balanced program. While details have
not been revealed, a substantial in
crease in the regular army. probably
from $1,000 to at least 100, 900 men
and the creation of a reserve Of per-
haps 400. 900 men through short term
enlistment service of citizens inter
ested in military training, are said to
be parts of the army plan.
AS yet he appropriation to be e c
commended for the army and navy re-
spect1vely has not been definitely. TX
ed. Indications are that the arny's
budget of $40, 900 900 last year will
be increased by at least $50, 1000, 900,
while Secretary Daniels is figuring on
obtaining a 500. 600, 900 increase over
the navy appropriation OF $148 ,000,-
900 of last year.
When the president and the secre-
taries Of war and navy next confer it
is understood an effort will be made.
to bring the total sum within the
$500. O0Q, 000. mark. as at present tthe
combined estimates of the two branch
es of the service will make about
$3.50. O0O, 900. II the needs of the two
services can be cut to $500, 600, 900 the
total increase over last year would be
about $40, 0O0, 900. The general view
in administration quarters now is that
q bond issue will be proposed to meet,
the added expense.

Observation-Disclosures of the
party led by Gen. Carranza as the dc
facto government in Mexico has been
unanimously agreed upon by the Pan
American conference as the step to be
recommended to their respective gov
ernments.
Secretary Lansing. on behalf Of the
United States government. expressed
its intention to recognize Gen. Carran-
IA, and the ambassadors Of Brazil.
Chile and Argentina and the ministers
Of Bolivia, Uruguay and Guatemala
transmitted the decision Of the Wash
ington government as well as their
opinions in agreement with It.
MI. Lansing has obtained the approx
al Of President Wilson to the plan, and
before the conference began all the
other ministers in che Latin-American
corps also had given their adherence
to it.
The action Of the conference was
regarded generally as the most impor-
tant diplomatic step in the Mexican
situation since the United States de-
cided to withhold recognition from the
Huerta government more than two
years ago. It means that the Car
rama government win receive the
moral support Of the United States,
and that an embargo will be placed on
arms destined for opposing factions
as soon as recognition is actually e1
tended.

Hough because, as q revenue measure.
1t originated in the senate instead of

The suit alleged the act was un-
constitutional, first, because it or

Law taxed the manner of performing

ton itself.
Judge Hough sustained the first
contention, but gave no finding on
the second. He said:

will do doubtless as they have done
before-fal1 back until they reach IA
vorable positions. In fact, military
writer's do not expect a big battle on
this front, for several days, by which
time the allies forces landed at Sa-
loniki should have joined the Servians.
The Bulgarians,. $50 far as Is known,
have made no incursions into Servian
territory, and it Is believed they will
withhold their hands until they know
how matters go with the Austro-Ger-
ans. Some Balkan authorities, in
deed, still believe that the Bulgarians
will not interfere with the movement
northward Of the Anglo-French expe-
