Grocer Will Appeal County Commissioners
 Refusal of License

It is expectsd that David Sachs of Westport will appeal to the superior court from the decision of the county commissioners in refusing him a. wholesale liquor license There was a reconnaissance against Sachs and the commissioners went to Westport We'd nesday to hear evidence. It was brought out that Sachs wanted a H. cense so that he could sell 1iQuor in conjunction with his grocery business.

 The steamship Toronto. now at pier 54. North River, New York, is taking on a load of aInmunition and other war supplies intended for the British government.
 The peace council charges alse that the British and French governments have been using the docks of the White Star and Faber lines to store for shipment on their transports, tex- plosives, ammunition, submarines and aerop1anes.'
 The peace council cites several arti- cIes from the Hague conventions in Support of their charge, but State De partment officials contended tonight that none of these citations is appli- cable.
 The basis of the charges seems to lie iia the assertion by the peace coun- ciI that most of these vessels are s'transports'' operated by 9 Beiliger- ent nation. It was centended here to- night that none of the vessels are transports in the sense in which that term is used legally It is possible for weasel of this kind to be in the service of a beIligerent government without actually making it gov ernnent ship classed as a war vessel. This is believed to be the status of all vessels named by the peace council F'urthern ore, it was pointed out that a ship is not s.operated' by govern cent in the eyes of the law unless it is in command of an officer of the government and it's crew is paid by the government.
 The peace advocates summed up their case in this way

 These so-ealIad peace advocates give the names of the vessels which they say are violating the neutrality df the United States and they call up on Secretary Lansing for a public in yestigatfon into the facts by govern xaent omciaEs.
 The peace council in their co1nInun- 1cation to the state department give the grounds on which they base their hcia1s of the state department and other legal authorities in Washington were unable to see how any of these grounds were applicable in the eases cited.
 As a matter of fact the most striH-
 
 communication is the evidence it seems to bear on it's face of being a move in the interest of Germany In ithe first place. official Washington was surprised at the detailed inferH1a- ltion which the peace council has pre- sented in regard te shipments of war munitions.
