II took practically the hrst half OF the
most active bond market seen In many
months to rouse the majority OF the
railroad convertible issues from the state
OF drowsiness that has enveloped them
since midsummer. And even then II was
probably the stirrins Of the stock into
which these bonds are convertible that
reused them and not the ensembled ad-
vance OF their fellow mortgage issues.
During the last half OF the trading week
the convertiblcs. particularly the Atchi-
son As. the two Chesapeake and Ohio
issues and the Southern Pacific A. Of
1929 gave a good account of themselves.

ever, the convertibles are stlll near their
low prices of the year. but with interest

advances OF the railroad stocks these
bonds ought 10 achieve a price level
mcasureably nearer the high OF the year.

Ideal formally with that movement, runs the extreme risk of being mis- kconstrued.
 His conception on this point makes his. action still more unintelligible. If he brooded over this conception so Ptong in silence what reason can have 6mpelled him to become suddenly communicative just at a moment lWhen his perception of the proprieties makes him uneasy and distrustful. It lis not surprising that he feels en-
 barrassed for he acted so. that he be-
 .onnes virtually an interlocutor on the $ide of Germany. Why did he not wait for the Entente's reply to Ger

TREE FOR CHILDREN.
New Britain Charity Organization
 Makes Plans to Spread Cheer.

A Christmas tree that rivals in mag nitude that of last year has been re- ceived at the New Britain Charity Or ganization and will be set up and trimmed this evening. Tomorrow af- ternoon at o'clock the doors will be thrown open and a Christmas party given to many of the little children who are closely connected with the organization. Open house will con- tinue for three weeks as the Christ mas holidays come at different times for different nationalities.
 It was with much dismay that the agents learned that there are over fifty little girls in the city without dolls or who have not had one for two or three years. At one place visited, a little girl was playing with a number of pennies and when asked what she was going to do with them said "buy a doll carriage" Her doll, she ex- plained, had lost it's head but she still considered it good enough to have a carriage. About fifty-five dolls are needed to supply the demand and of this number a club of girls has dressed ten, a whist club has also donated number, the w. C. T. U. twenty and now it remains for some kind friend to supply the other fifteen.
 Some of the tree ornaments have already arrived as they are used bv the City Mission and numerous insti- tutions which pass them along. Young women are popping corn and this morning a doctor came in with a suit case filled with bags of candy and popcorn to hang on the tree. An other gift that was very welcome came from a stOrekeeper and consisted of a number of Christmas cards and a. fine supply of writing paper A plan which will meet with the approval of the citizens of the town and which was carried out last year has again been put into effect and two whist clubs have taken the names of the New Britain boys and girls in the in dustrial schools. In this way a box is mailed direct to these boys and girls and their Christmas happiness is as- sured. The Elks have also promised to send a box of candy and an orange to each of the local boys in the Meriden reform school
 There will not be so many Christ mas dinners distributed by the or ganization this year because the Ell<s have taken over a number of names and will supply fifty families with a turkey. Those who wish may send in gifts during the coming week so there will be something for each little one that appears to see the organizations Christmas tree.

<. Globe Considers President III.

E London, Dec 22.-The Globe today Sgiyes a secondary place to it's com Nnent upon President Wilson's note (which is made in a satirical vein under
 the heading: "What Is the Matter With Him. We sincerely hope tPresident Wilson is not unwell," says kthe Globe, 'yet we find ourselves 1 gravely doubtful as to his physical \well-being."
 1 The newspaper proceeds to ask if the president has never heard of what hHhe Germans did in Belgium and Serbia and confesses that it finds it. self una ble to believe he knows the things when he "describes the Central Flowers as desirous of securing small states against aggression. The high cost of living is said to be hitting the
 average American citizen very hard, indeed which may account in some measure for the milk of human kind ness in the presidential cocoanut' The Star in it's comment says: "President Wilson's note is a Christ mas bombshell. It comes as a sur prise to us. Let us say, at once that the Allies in general, and Great Britain in particular. ought to treat 1t with the utmost sympathetic re- spect and give it most friendly, most careful consideration
 As to the question of the objects of the belligerents being virtually the same, the Star in it's allusion to Presi- dent Wilson's words in this connec- tion says:
 "'This is an astounding statem lent which we cannot with the best will in the world reconcile with the facts

Paris, Dec. 22. 11:35 p. m.-Pre- mier Briand's proposal to suppress the manufacture and sale of spirits, which is generally approved by the public, is being fought tooth and nail by the powerful liquor interests.
 The National Wine and Spirit Trade association has passed @ resolution strong condemning the premier's pro- posal on the ground that the measure dissolves the sacred union of the country before the foe by attacking one class of citizens; that it is a vio- lation of the right of every citizen to trade and that it amounts to expro- priation.

SOLD ADULTERA1ED MILK
Joseph Bayer Fined $15 on Each of Three Counts-Free-for Fight Hearing Postponed.

Joseph Bayer. a retail milk dealer of Chapman and Jubilee streets was fined s15 and costs by Judge. James T. Mesl<ill in police court today on each of three counts charging the sale of adulterated and insanitary milk. He was placed on probation to allow reasonable time for the pay ment of the fine. A fourth count was not pressed. The action was brought upon complaint of health board inspectors. Attorney A. A.. Greenberg appeared for the defense. He claimed that, while undoubtedly there was a technical violation, Bayer was not guilty of doing it intentional lv as he bought the milk from a farmer and supposed that it was up to the standard.
 Hearing of breach of the peace and mutual assault charges against Jo- seph and Salvatore. Salvatore Cas- tanga, John Spaina and Joseph Fa- biana was continued until tomorrow morning as Attorneys A. A. Green berg and P. F. McDonough said that they had just been called into the case and desired a postponement in order to question witnesses. The ar rests followed a fight at High and Lafayette streets yesterday noon.
 For the second time within a week Michael Brady was arraigned for in- toxication. He pleaded for probation SO that he might pass Christmas and New Years with relatives. That is why I was lenient last time" com mented Judge Meskill. This time it will be 90 days with previous proba- ton revoked"
