ing all figured papers in the living
rooms, as they are unrestful. Tans,
worries, putty colors or grays are sue
cessful wall tones and any one of
them may be successfully used
throughout the house. AS rule, the
walls should be kept light and our
color contrasts will come in the hang
ings, rugs, furniture coverings, lamp
shades, cushions and pillows, in fact,
in all objects which might be termed
the properties of the living room.
In the small objects, such as a pill
low, a piece of pottery or a lamp
shade, let us not be afraid of the
really brilliant colors. Touches of
br' liant color invariably add life to
any room. Unfortunately, most of
our rooms are sadly lacking in this
respect and appear dull and dreary
for the want of bright touches of

ter of the room. Several arrange
ments are successful, dependent upon
the general shape and size of the
room. If the table is oblong in shape,
it may be placed at right angles to
the fireplace toward one end of the
living room. The davenport could
then be placed opposite with the floor
space clear in front of the fireplace.
Another good arrangement, and one
that is very popular in small living
rooms, is to place the table directly
at the back of the davenport, as
Shown in illustration No. l. This is
a good space-saving arrangement for
small rooms, for by combining the
two largest pieces of furniture, it
makes the most of the limited floor
space. In square rooms, the daven-
port may be placed alongside of
the fireplace and the table directly

HELD IN ENGLAND
 AS A GERMAN SPY
Former New Britain Boy Has Dif~
 Hculty Because Of Parentage

| Charles Banner, formerly Of this 1 city but now of Wellington, Mass, has 1 written friends in this city of his ex- periences during a trip he took abroad ! in a horse boat After landing in l France he took a trip to Liverpool, England, where he had trouble getting l his papers because his mother was a German. All went we'll until he was ! held up by the police and his papers examined and then held as a German spy. Later he was sent back to his ship and returned home. Banner says he will sail again in the future but to Italy and not England. The letter in part follows:
 You proba bly, have heard that I took a trip to France and England on a horse boat. Well, believe me, I had some experience.
 I've sailed from Boston, struck France the 11th of June and Liver pool the 14th. When we left Boston on the 30th of May, on the steamer Sagamore, (Captain Fenton) it was just o'clock D. m. and we reached Rrest, France on the 11th, exactly the same hour. There we left our cargo of mules. After unloading it took us approximately thirty-six hours to
  Of land all the way.
 "I had a little trouble getting my alien papers when I landed because it leaked out that my mother was Ger man, but in the end I got by. All went we'll until the goth, then things began to happen. I was walking down Scotland Road with an army de- serter when we were held up by a Robbie who asked us for our papers. Mine would have been no trouble at all if my mothers name had not been on the papers, but as it was it started things going.
 T was taken to the Canada docks on Regent Road and locked up with about fourteen plain clothes men and 'Bobbies' for about four hours when they took me to headquarters at IS Dale street. The sergeant said he would hold me as a spy until it was proved otherwise.
 'As luck would have it, Scotland Road runs along the docks and I was held until the 24th when they shipped me back on the Sagamore, the boat I came on. Nevertheless, l rather liked my little trip. I picked up several trinkets which I brought back. One is a 'bandolier' or cartridge belt worn by the soldiers at the front, but was stolen from me on the boat. Believe me, I'm going again. Only this time it will be Italy instead of England.'

New York, July 12.-Wall Street, 1O:3O a. m.-Pressure upon special stocks was renewed at the opening of todays market, with few offsetting gains.

Automobile issues also suffered further depreciation, General Motors losing five. with more moder- ate reversals for Studebaker, Willys- Overland and Maxwell. General Chemical added three points to yes- terday's loss of six, and Mexicans were heavy with metals and beet sugar.

Lombard Street Anxious.

London, July 12.-Lombard street is anxiously watching the course of the money market in New Yorl. as a further rise is sure to bring corre- spending measures of protection here in the shape of higher discount and treasury bill rates in order to protect exchange and retain balances. Some authorities believe the strin- gency in New York is only temporary. but in view of the fact that New York as the chief money center of the world for the time being, is absorbing large amount of dollars, and financing loans for Russia France and neutrals besides it's own domestic trade, it is an interesting question whether the naon- etary stringency will be relieved. deserves and the necessity of financing American crops have to be considered but in the opinion of Lom- bard street, if money does not mater 1ally exceed the present level, there Will be no necessity of further protec- tive measures here, where today three months bills are quoted at 5 1-3 and IA per cent. and day loans over four per cent.

SOLDIERS MAY NOT VOTE
Amendment to Constitution Adopted for Civil War Fighters May Not Be Operative in Present Case.

Hartford, July 12.-Connecticut soldiers who have been transferred tc the federal service and are eligible to vote at the national and state cleo ton in November may not be able to exercise the franchise this year if they are retained at the border.
 An amendment to the state consti- tuition was adopted in 1864 for the purpose of facilitating soldiers from this state in the civil war to vote. IL provided that persons drafted or vol- unteers in the war should have the same right when absent from the state to vote as if they were present. in the state. But the amendment ceased to be operative at the termina- ton of hostilities
 The original provision in the con- stitution requiring the vote to Del taken in the towns is now the oniyl one that governs the place of Votlng- k The general assembly cannot of course change a law which will conflict with this provision even to allow the sol- diers now in the federal service to vote.

British Thoroughly Satisfied.

London, July 12, noon-Althoug the extent of ground which has been gained by the British offensive IS not great, there is general satisfaction in England at the success maintained bzS the army of Gen. Haig during the twelve days of fighting, and belief exists that the advantage of the po- sitions now occupied will make pos sible great achievements.
 The captures of Contalmaison, Ma metz, and Trones Woods give the British a line running almost due Sast and west, so that the Germans to the north can be attacked on the flank when the guns are brought up for the second phase of the opera tions South of the river the French are In a position somewhat similar to the British, and likewise can attack the German flank south of Belloy and Estrees. For the mement, however, the two armies are engaged in pre- pairing new positions.
 Meanwhile the Germans, renewin g the attacks on Verdun, have captured Damloup battery which they held for a time early in June. This position is the point furthest from Ferdun in the French line of defense, so that it's loss is not taken seriously by tho French commander.
 Tn the east the Russians are er- gagged in heavy battles in the extreme northwestern corner of Bukowina. where they are intlicting further de- feat on the army of Gen. Pflauger, now cut off from Gen. Won Both ner's forces to the north, and also along the Stokhod river, where the Austrians and Germans are putting up formidable resistance.
 The Stokhod is a shallow river, but marshes on either side impede move T1ents of troops and guns.
 Across the river fighting is in prog ress near Svidniki, while to the south east another force is advancing on Kovel.
