REVIEWS PROTEST
TO GREAT BRITAIN
PRESIDENT DECLARES iNTERFER.
ENCE WITH MAILS MUST
CEASE AT ONCE.
Takes Position That Practices Com
planned Of in First Note Have
Been Continued and Insists
That They Cease.

Washington-Presid Wilson has
completed a note vigorously renewing
the protest of the United States to
Great Britain against interference
with American mails.
Secretary Lansing and legal experts
at the state department made the orig
inal draft of the note and the presi-
dent revised its phraseology.
1t is made up largely of legal argu.
ments to meet the contentious OF
Great Britain in the memorandum.
concurred in by France, presented to
the state department several weeks
ago. The United States takes the po-
sition that practices complained of in
its first note on the subject have been
continued and that the American gov
eminent must now insist more en-
phatically that they cease.
State department officials consider
that the chief weakness in the posi-
ton OF Great Britain is her policy OF
taking neutral mail vessels into Brit
ish Jurisdiction and submitting them
to local censorship regulations. 1t is
tudt IL 10 Oh thio pOihs Nho'
the renewed protest is chiefly based
| The British memorandum avoided this
phase OF the question. Rapid trans
mission was promised to true CORE
spondence," but the right to seize con
traband sent in the mails was main
| tanned.
The Hague convention of 1907. the
United States contends, guarantees
the inviolability OF postal correspond
ence and the new note again points tt
the inconvenience and actual money
loss resulting from the continuance o
the British policy of taking neutra
mail vessels into British ports an'
there examining and OBTAINING thu
mails. A mass of evidence has beer
collected showing the effects on Amer
lean business of the British policy.

ENGLAND FACES FOOD SHORTAGE
Startling Admission Made by Member
Of British Cabinet.

London.-Francis Dyke Acland, fin
ancial secretary OF the treasury,
ipeaking in the house Of commons on
the agricultural situation, made a
somewhat disturbing statement. 1t
was imperative, Mr.. Acland said, that
farmers should drop their prejudice
against the employment Of female la
Dor. A breakdown in home supplies
was only avoidabie IL the labor sit
uation did not grow worse.
The danger point of greatly de-
creased production already has been
reached and even as things were go
ing, it was now feared that England
could not hope to maintain her pro-
duction on last years level. II more
men were swept into the army from
he farms, she could only escape fam
he by diverting to importation OF
oodstuffs ships which are so urgently
needed for the transport of munitions.

Lake Mohonk, N. Y.-The resolu'

conference on international arbitra-

they effect the long-suffering Armeni'
ans. He wants to assist in the rails

NEW CHAPTER OF HORRORS.
Armenians RuthIessly Slaughtered by
FanatlcaI Turks.


Bucharest.--Since the entry OF the
Russians into Trebizond 1t is possible
TO lift the veil which hitherto has
shrouded the fate of the Armenian
population of that city.
The Russian troops found all the Ar
menian houses plundered and mostly
I'm ruins. They had been pillaged by
the Turks, the authorities interposing
no opposition.
The deportation of Armenians was
carried out in accordance with instruc-
tons from Constantinople. Some 300
of the leading families received the or
der to prepare for emigration and pur-
chased wagons to transport their prop
erty, but four days after their depar-
ture all the wagons were brought back
TO the town. The emigrants had been
massacred and their property plum
dered.
Other groups. each OF several hun
dred families. followed.
This process was continued for
some time. Eventually. however, new
methods were adopted. The police
entered the houses OF the remaining
Armenians and forcibly expelled
them. They were driven through the
streets and the houses were locked
UP. The whole Armenian population
of Trebizond, numbering 10000, wal
thus exterminated II is hoped, how
ever, that some hundreds may yet b'
found in villages in the neighborhood
At Er2erum, where tbs Armenian
population is estimated to have beer
$4,000. practically the same program
was carried out.

EDITORS CHANGE OF HEART.

During the wet and dry campaign
OF the state of Washington, the Sc
attic Daily Times worked vigorously
for the vets. After one month of pro-
hibition this is what the editor said:
I'VE fought prohibition on economic
grounds alone. We believed that in
great seaport city with a popula-
ton OF upwards of 100000. prohibit
ton would be destructive; that 1t
would bring on economic disaster.
We believed that under the license
system we had the liquor trafic as
we'll controlled as It could be; we
wanted to let II alone and we fought
as hard as we could fight. But in
spite of all we could do, prohibition
carried and went into effect January
| /. Its moral effect has been tremen-
dous. Seattle had 260 saloons and
we had an average of 1900 arrests a
month TOR crimes and misdemeanors
growing out OF liquor drinking. In
January we had only 400 arrests and
60 of these were made January 1.
and we're the result of hang-overs
from the old year"

Undersoes Change Of Sentiment Since
Border Conference.

Washington.-The state department
was officially advised Saturday that 1t
might expect soon new note from
General Carranza regarding the Dor

It is thought possible General Carran-
"a may propose the framing of def
mite understanding along the lines OF
the unwritten agreement reached by
the military conference at El Paso be
tween Generals Scott, Funston and
Obregon.
Should this forecast be borne out
the delicate situation created by Gen
eral Carranzas request for withdrawal
of the American expedition would be
a closed incident.

CAUSE OF LOWEST DEATH RATE.

Why has Kansas the lowest death
rate in the United States? This ques-
ton was asked by doubling federal Of
ficials after they had investigated the
report OF w. J. v. Deacon, state regis
trar Of vital statistics, showing that
the Kansas death rate was only 9.8
per 1000. The answer OF Mr.. Deacon
as given to Samuel l.. Rogers. direc-
tors of the United States bureau OF
census, gave this reason among 9TH
ers:
Kansas IL a prohibition state and
has been for a generation, and In Kan
sas, prohibition really prohibits. do
not mean by this there is no alcohol
consumed in the state. but the alb
sence OF the saloon means much to
our growing boys and young men,
who, in the absence of any bar room,
find more healthful pastimes than loaf
ing in an alcohol laden atmosphere.
Another and more important fact
concerning prohibition is that the
wage of the laborer or mechanic Is not
dissipated but goes to supply those
necessities of food, clothing and hous-
ing most essential to the wellbeing OF
their families and themselves"

covering as well all eastern Connecti- cut points that may offer business.
 The truck owners figure, and very probably rightly, that they will be able to get good round prices for the service, for certain classes Of goods will have to be moved whether the railroads are tied up or not. Daniel son and connecting points by trolley are fortunate in having one freight carrying line that will remain open in case of the impending strike, and that is the Rhode Island companys route between this place and Provi- dence. This line will not be able, is a strike comes. 10 handle all the traffic offered from this section and it is upon this that automobile truckers are fig uring-to get the surplus freight.
 The first day of the strike, if it comes, will find the trucks on the job.

BACK TO THE BIG TOWN.
Supervision of the Health Authorities
 Bothers the New Workers.

The present prospect is that most of the New York women and children who have been staying on farms in the northeastern section of the town will be out of Killingly and either back in New York or on their way there before Saturday night
 The visitors are not at all joyous over the close supervision under which they have been kept since the system of guarding the town against infantAle paralysis was inaugurated, and the threat of one official that he would arrest them if they again failed to obey his orders relative to circulating about the district did not set well with the visitors, who have liked to do as they pleased.
 Following the departure of six into Putnam to escape Killingly's regula- tions, others announced their intention to return to New York. Some of them have done so and all of the others, if they keep to their words, will go back to the big town this week.
