Berlin Understands.
Berlin, Dec. 4---DeSpito indications
that the entente powers have obtain
| ed favorable concessions from
| Greece, the situation apparently is
causing little anxiety in German cir
| cles. There seems to be no disposi-
! ton here to criticise Greece harshly
for yielding to certain extent to the
allies demands, adverse as these are
| to the central powers and Bulgaria,
since the position Of Greece, with her
exposed coast line, is realized.

| territory, as well as OF the Aegean
harbors, including KaVala.
| Greece declines, however, to dis
arm troops Of the central powers if
they pursue allied troops on Grecian
territory.'
| The Tageblatt also is credited with
| the statement that the central DOW
ers have offered Greece Southern AL
bania and islands in the Aegean on
condition that she decline to grant
certain demands of the allies and re-
main neutral.
Serbs Kindly Treated.
London, Dec. 4-Many Serbian SOL

In the latest list of contributions for the Connecticut food ship for the re- lief of the destitute Belgians is the sum of S13.75 in four gifts made to the Norwich fund.
 The total contributions for the ship are now SIS S52011.
 quantity of bread-Iine tickets which were actually used in Belgium have been received by the Connecticut committee of the commission for re- lief in Belgium. These are in different sizes and colors. Practically all, however, are printed both in Branch and in Flemish. Each destitute non combatant is given one of these tick cts which entities him or her, as the case may be, in a definite ration. usually consisting of bread, potatoes and soup containing vegetables. Each ticket bears the name and address of the holder and specifies the number of persons in the family, the canteen from which it was issued and the number of rations to be issued daily. These interesting bits of pasteboard speak more eloquently of the situation than any words.

 MT. Harrington took the man home in wagon and had him cared for, but Sunday night he was reported as very weak. While the Searchers were looking for him.

The spot where he was found was right in the neigh borhood around which the search has been going on ever since Harrington disappeared.
 Until he was found Sunday after noon the last that his relatives had seen of him was on Monday after noon while the last place at which he had been seen was near Meeting house hill in Franklin at about 8: 45 o'clock Tuesday morning.

SEAL OF CONFESSIONAL
Never Broken, Through Long History of the Catholic Church, Rev. F. J. Muster States in Sermon.

At the high mass in St Patrick s church Sunday, Rev. Francis J. Muster continued in the series of sermons on Confession which he has been giving this month. He spoke of the require ments fors good confession-a thor ough examination of conscience, deep sorrow, the firm purpose of amend ment, worthy, open and sincere con- feSSion of sins, and satisfaction, in making reparation to God as far as pos siple by prompt and cheerful perform ance of the penance imposed.
 On the point of sorrow for sin, there may be sorrow through fear of having offended God, through a sense of grati- tude to Him for His innumerable ben ef1ts, or from pure love for Him, and this last constitutes perfect COntrition.
 While Catholic lives, and until the hour of his death, his Is the obligation of confessing sin; hence, the preacher said, it is the part of wisdom to make each confession full and free and sin- cere, as though it were the last.
 Christ has given to his duly deputed priests the power to forgive sin, fol- lowing proper confession, contrition and reparation;' the power to forgive or to retain. Confession is incumbent on ev- cry member of the Catholic church, priest and layman. The preacher made reference to the obligation of every confessor to treat all confessions with confidence which nothing can break; and the wonderful record of the church since it's beginning, when, though an occasional individual priest might lapse in other respects, not once has the in violable seal of the confessional been broken.

MISSING FRANKLIN MAN FOUND
Charles Harrington Had Made Bed Among Tree Stumps Near Murphy's Crossing-Too Weak to Stand-Nothng to Eat Since Last Monday-Boys Finding Eat Stockns and Shoes Furnished Clue.

A hat and a pair of shoes and stock ings found by two boys by the name of Hansen furnished the clue which led to finding Charles Harrington of Franklin, Sunday afternoon after he had been missing since last Monday from the home of his brother, Frank with whom he lived.
 Harrington, who is 58 and not mentally bright, was in a clump of low growth on the hill back of Mur- phys crossing about two miles from his own home and was in such a weak condition that it Is feared he may not recover. So far as is known he had not had anything to eat since Monday and as there are no springs anywhere near the place he was found it is thought that he has also been without water.
 When the Hansen boys found the shoes and stockings they told their father who at once notified Frank Harrington, who with MT. Hansen searched from noon till three o'clock Sunday afternoon before they found the missing man.
 He was wearing nothing but his shirt and had made a bed of his
