WHEN NEW INFORMATION IS
FILED OFF GO THE SMILES
Husband brought into the court of
domestic relations yesterday on
charges of abandoning wives or not
supporting children went out of the
courtroom with beaming smiles on
their faces. Owing to the fact that
the Gardner nOn-sUppOrt and aban-
dOnment law went into effect July 1
and it contains a clause which re-
peals the old abandonment act, Judge
Fisher ruled that information filed
before July 1 could not be used after
that date.
Under the new law, however, hus-
bands who abandon or fail to support
their wives will not wear grins long.
1t makes abandonment a continuous
Offense, so that friend husband will
have to keep right on paying friend
wife until such time as he can man
age a divorce, whereas under the past
law the order of the court was good
for only one year.
Under the old law a man could
evade an order of the court by re-
turning to live with his wife, as it was
purely an abandonment law. Under
the present law, even though he is
toasting his toes at the same Preside,
he will be placed under order of the
court to pay his wife a certain sum a
week for the support of herself and
children. There is also an emergency
clause enabling the court to enter a
temporary order for immediate relief.
But wives who swOre out warrants
for erring husband prior to July will
have to get busy and file new infor-
nation now before the grins are
wiped off the faces of the husbands.
U. S. TO GET GERMAN REPLY ON
MONnAV0- PEAnV
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-07-03

German reply is not mere answer
of German diplomats. It may be con-
sidered to represent opinion of whole
German people regarding her sub
marine policy. During the time it
was under consideration by the for
eign office and marine several prom
inent German editors, bankers and
business men were called in and
asked to express their views.
The final draft, as completed last
night, meets optimistic forecasts.
Germany declared willing to safe
guard lives of neutraIs crossing ocean
even aboard beIligerent ships, if such
vessels do not carry ammunition and
do not misuse the American flag.
Germany will not give up her sub
marine policy. But she is willing to
modify her methods to that extent.

WAREHOUSE MEN SEE PROSPERITY. SWEEPING LAND

New York, Dec. 2-Members of the American Warehouse Mems Associa- ton here to attend their annual con vcntion. report steadily increasing prosperity all over the country. Chas L. Criss, of Pittsburgh, secretary of the association, declares that the year has been a prosperous one for warehouse men and that this reflects conditions in many lines of business activity.
 -'In agricultural lines" said Mir. Criss, -t'the returns have been most bountifu1 and in some instances estab- iished records and thus afforded a firm base for all business opinions. Conditions as to cotton and rice are materially inprover over those of 1914.
 ''In manufacturing while some de- pression existed early in the year there has been for some months prob ably as great activity as ever was wit messed. While this is partly due to war materials and supplies, the vol ume of manufactures for domestic uses and for countries other than chose at war is reported very large"
 Arthur P. Jones, chairman of the committee on railroads and steam ships, reports a large increase in rail- road tonnage.

is not considered one that necessitates the pilgrims visiting any of the bel ligerent countries The peace conven- ton which the Ford delegates are to attend will be held at The Hague in Holland, and the position of the State Department is that it is not necessary to have passport to England, Ger many, or France in order to go to The Hague.
 If the, members of the Ford party wish to visit belligerent countries they
 must show that they have received invitations from the belIigerent coun- tries- The first scheduled stop of the Oscar 1T. will be KirkwaIl, in the Orkney Islands, off the coast Of Scot land For this reason some Of the applications received included Eng land as one of the countries for which they wished passports issued Such applications will have to be amended to show that only neutral countries are to be visited. Without passports good for travel in the. British Isles the Ford voyagers will not-be able to land at KirkwaH.

PEACE JlTNEURS
 RESTRICTED TO
 NEUTRAL PORTS
Ford Party's Passports Won't
 Allow Entrance Into the War Zone.

Washington Dec 2-The passport problem is likely to prove stumbling block for many members of the Henry Ford peace expedition, according to lthe outlook in Washington last night. Oniy a few of those contemplatin sn1aking the trip have filed applica- tions for passports, and since all pass ports must be obtained by individual application to the State Department either personally or in writing, it does not appear that it will be possible for the delegation to obtain passports in time to sail on the Oscar H. at two o'clock Saturday afternoon. Some of the applications already received by the State Department have been held mp because they are incomplete, and it is just this sort of teehnicality that may interfere with passports being provided for other members of the party.
 Passports for members of the Ford expedition will be issued only for those who intend to visit neutral countries. It was decided at the State Depart ment late yesterday afternoon that passports would not be issued for members Of the peace party to enter beIIigeren4 countries AS aliens can- not. enter any of the betligerent na- Hons of Europe without passports. members of the Ford party will not be able to go to Germany, France, Italy, Russia.

(Written by Mrs. A. NJ H. Reed.)
The attention of the writer has been
called to the fact that June 80, 1915,
was the centennial of the first postof-
flee in Dummerston (yt.), and the APP
pointment of Charles Miller as the first
postmaster, thereby giving the inhahi-
tants of the town direct communica-
tion with the world. 1t was a progress
sive step, an event in the town s his
tory
The postoffice was kept in the old
tavern, at the corner on the old stage
road from Brattleboro to Bellows Falls.
AS told by the Coolest inhabitant
those old stage days were busy DAYS at
the tavern. A part of the old tavern
is still standing, good looking, sub
stantial farm house, the property of
John Sheldon of Greenfield, Mass, but
the south part, where the postofffce
was located, has long since been RACED.
After 100 years no person is living
who can relate personal "reminiscences
of the first postmaster and the first
pOstOffice, but from a reliable record
we have it that Postmaster Charles
Miller lived about 30 rods gilmore or
Less as old deeds read), south of the
old tavern IN the house built by has
grandfather, Capt. Isaac Miller. The
ell was built about 1870, and tradition
has it that it was the first frame
house built in town and the first in
which lights of glass were used for
the windows. Major William Miller
father of Postmaster Charles Miller
lived in the ell, and it was with hin
that Col Ethan Allen stopped over
night in 1874 on his way to Guilford
''to drive out the Workers. He slept
in the chamber of the ell, and it is
still called Ethan Allen S room.
Postmaster Charles Miller was borr
July %, 17S6. The house where ht
lived and where he died, April ?, 1920
soon after which this farm was bought
by AbieI Walker, has for 90 years o.
more been the homestead Of the lat,
