employ should be held responsible for
proper work, provided he be given

ed to the Continental Oil company to
erect oil tanks on the lots, adjoining
the old electric power plant, purchas-
ed from E. K. Hayes. Strenuous OBJ
lection has been made to the councils
action because of the danger to pro-
perty from fire and also because of
the unpleasant odor that is claimed to
come from such tanks. But the coun-
ell is wondering whether it now has
the power to rescind its previous ac-
ton. The street committee was ap-
pointed to confer with the oil COM

located farther away from the bust

company insists on holding the city
to its action, there is talk of enjoining
the building of the tanks at the sell
ected location.

RUMANIA TO "GET HER WHACKS", IS
 VIEW OF PRINCE

Headquarters of the Commander-in- Chief of the German Armies in the East, Monday, Sept. 4, via Berlin, Sept. 4, and London, Sept. Slow little Ru- mania's entrance into the war worries those in command of the German east ern armies was indicated today when Prince Leopold, of Bavaria, said to The Associated Press correspondent:
 "The Rumanians have placed them selves in very bad position. They will get their whacks, you may be sure, and if others come in they will get their whacks, too."
 These words of the Prince were in reply to a question regarding the pos sible effect of Rumania's declaration of war. In replying Prince Leopold dropped the friendly and almost be- nign attitude he had displayed throughout the interview-the first granted to a correspondent since his promotion to the command formerly held by Field Marshal Won linden burg. His eyes snapped almost an- grily, his voice became hard and sharp. In a moment, however, he dropped this topic and returned to questioning his visitors about the trip they had just completed along the Russo-German front in the neighbor- hood of Baranovichi, admittedly one of the most important strategic points in relation to past as well as future Offensives.
 The Princes expression of complete confidence tht Rumania would be de- feated was in the nature of a climax to countless declarations of belief from other officers that Russia would never be able to effect any important break in the German lines. The correspond ent was permitted to make an exhaus- tive inspection of miles of trenches which are more like fortresses than nything else. They surpass any other Notifications the correspondent had seen during. many trips to the eastern and western fronts.

NEW LONDON ASTIR AT COMING OF MEXICAN COMMISSION THIS
 WEEK; HOTELS READY FOR RUSH
Commission Will Have Secret Conferences at The GriSNOld; Army of NeWspapermen Will Hold Forth at the CrOcker House.
Special to The Farmer.)

New London, Sept. 5.-Arrangements for accommodation of the members Of the .IeXican commission who are to meet on Tuesday and Wednesday men, bers of a special committee appointed by the United States government to settle differences between the United States and Mexico have been complet- ed in this city.
 The Hotel Griswold, in Groton, will be the scene of the conferences, ar engagements having been completed yesterday by Manager H. D. Saxton for the accommodation of the large number of delegates from both gov ernments as we'll as those who come as friends and guests of the mem bers.
 It is expected that New London will teem with life as a result of the social activity that will be created by the meetings. At the Crocker house spe- cial arrangements are being made for the entertainment of the added corps of newspa per men who will report the incidents as they are divulged. Pro- prietor Frank E. Parker and Manager Richard w. Law who by their cour- teous treatment of press representa- tives have gained an enviable reputa- tion are greatly pleased by the re- quests for. accommodat tions during the conference and have made special res ervations for the big number of met ropolitan press representatives con- ing.
 The Crocker house is one of the best known and oldest established hostel rfes in Connecticut and it's central To- cation, courteous management and comfortable quarters, lends itself we'll to the purposes of the press as well as the public.
 Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the Interior and chairman of the Ameri- can commission, in New London yes terday, said:
 There is no telling just how long the commission will meet. It all de- bends upon what turn the conference takes. MT. Carranza has sent no the orists to this country. They are all practical men, two of them engineers, but there are likely to be many mat ters to be settled. Of course there is nothing binding on either country as to anything we may do. The principal matter is the border question. Others of he character will very likely be discussed. The American commission WllH lHo eAceptfoH, tnlhk, oI Juuse Gray, have been in Mexico, so that we will not be groping in the dark. Per- sonally I believe that we shall get along very we'll"
 The Mexican commission consists of luis Cabrera, chairman: Ignacio Bon- i as and Dr. Albert J. Pani The sec- retary is Juan B. Rojo. and Eduardo GOgorza is official translator.
 The American commissioners are Secretary Lane, Judge George Gray and Dr. John R. Mott; secretaries, Herbert A. Myers, W. Babcock and J. Roberts; Dr. L. s. Rowe United States secretary; J. B.
