Captain A. H. Griswold, who this
 week led the boys out of the armory
 for active service, is something rath-
 CT unusual, if not romantic from a
 military standpoint. It has been in
 Company I. in which he enlisted as a
 private twenty-four years ago, that
 Captain Griswold has seen all his ac-
 tive military service, with the excep-
 ton of last summer when he cap
 tained a company of recruits to the
 Mexican border; and he has also been
 with Company I in all it's active ser
 vice until last summer. In addition to that Captain Griswold is the only man in either local company who sis a veteran of the Spanish war. When Company marched out of New Britt ain to the Spanish American war nineteen years ago this spring the present captain was then second duty sergeant under Captain c. H.
 Moore. When Co. next saw ser vice and marched out to entrain for Waterbury at the time of the big strike it was A. H. Griswold who was Captain. Now, after eight years in the reserve, it Is to his first love- that he returns, as the doughy little cap- tain terms 1t.
 Captains who have commanded local companies when they were called upon for active service were as follows: Spanish war. Co. D. Cap tain s. M. Leonard; Co. E.. Captain Abraham Hauerwas; Co. I. Captain c. H. Moore. Waterbury strike, Com pany I, Captain A. H. Griswold. Mex ican border service, Co. E, Captain E. Raymond Low (retired); Co. I, l Captain Henry l.. Ladbury (deceased).
 Originally New Britain had three companies of militia, Go. D. Co. E and Co. I. It was shortly after the Span- | ish war that Co. D was transferred 1 to Bristol where 1t continues to main ! tain the same high standards it en- joyed here.
 Even though New Britain does have a high tax rate officials declare that ! citizens receive benefits with it. While | 1t has absolutely nothing to do with ! politics or the taxing question, the prices New Britain consumers have to pay for coal. for instance, indicates that this is not positively the most | desirous place in the world In which |

The departure of the troops roba many men of exercising their right of franchise on Tuesday. The ener- getic recruiting has also badly be- fuddled the personal tax enroIlment records.

now levied upon such lands. He es-
Inmates that the tax would yield fully
a hundred million dollars to the fed
eral government annually and would
help greatly to meet the deflcu caused
by the recent prohibition enactments
OF congress.
THE single tax plan is one of many
methods proposed to make asc Of the
vast areas OF unusued lands through
out the country. particularly in the
west. Senator Borah, OF Idaho, has
frequently urged the federal govern
ment to push the reclamation and ir-
rigation of millions OF acres which
he believes could produce foodstuffs
fur in excess of the needs OF this
country and the, allies and solve the
whole problem of food shortage.
Discussing his plan, and pointing
out its numerous advantages, Senator
Lewis said: "The proposal as to the
tax upon the unoccupied and unculti-
waited lands, as rendered by me, Is
for the purpose of forcing the uncul.
tiVated lands of this country to be
cultivated and to bring forth food to
the people OF our country and for the
soldiers CT cur armies That which
Is not cultivated will now bring a
tax upon the basis that my proposal
provides. equal to hundred million
dollars, and will take that tax off
personal property, inheritances and
incomes and make up the deficit Gre
ated by the operation OF the prohibit
ton enactments.
at will also prevent lying idle vast
acres of lands throughout the coun-
Try which are being held for specu-
lation. depending upon the rise of
values upon adjacent land that Is cul.
uyated by the industry of others. This
proposal will aPnly to country and
city alike. and Will force the immedi-
ate improvement of lots in the city
and the cultivation of all land in the

Diet, Exercise or Death!

An eminent medical authority writes
that most of our city folks die Of a thick
ening of the arteries or Of kidney dis
ease. The kidneys become clogged and
do not filter the poisons from the blood,
and one trouble follows another, high
blood pressure damages the heart, arteries
and kidneys. Usually its danger signals
are backache, pain here or there, swollen
feet or ankles, rheumatic twinges or
spots appearing before the eyes.
"The very best remedy is thisi Eat
meat but once a day, OF not at all. Plenty
Of outdoor exercise, and drink pure
water frequently. Before meals take a
little Anuric, the great uric acid neu-
traiser that is easily obtained at the
drug store. When you have dizziness,
CHI or sweating, worry, or dragging
paS in back, try this wonderful enemy
t6aHSic acid, which DR.. Pierce Of Buffalo,
N. Y, discovered and named Anuric.
Anuric, more potent than lithia, dissolves
uric acid as hot water does sugar"

German Plot Against United States
Berlin's Order to Its Mexico City Minister to Form a German-Mext-

Came Between the Kaisers Government and Washington.

MISUNDERSTANDING is the text Of the instructions sent
0y German Foreign Minister Zimmerman at Berlin to Minister Won
Eckhardt in Mexico City, ordering the latter to propose to Carranza
the projected alliance between Germany, Japan and Mexico:
Berlin, Jan. 10, 191E-0n the 1st Of February we intend to
begin submarine warfare unrestricted. In spite of this It is our in
tentOn to endeavOT to keep neutral the United States of America.
"f this attempt is not successful we propose an alliance on the
following basis with Mexico: That we shall make war together and
together make peace. We shall give general financial support, and
il lis understood that Mexico is to r%ecOnquer the lost territory in New
Mexico, Texas, and Arizona. The details are left to you for SETTLE
ment.
"You are instructed to inform the president of Mexico of the
above in the greatest confidence as soon as it is certain that there
will be an outbreak Of war with the United States and suggest that
the president of Mexico, on his own initiative, should communicate
with Japan suggesting adherence at once to- this plan; at the same
time, offer to mediate between Germany and Japan.
"Pease call to the attention Of the president Of Mexico that
the employment Of ruthless submarine warfare now promises to
compel England to make peace in a few months.

The Hand OF Mexico.

II is apparent that the proposal had
taken definite form when Zubaran re-
turned TO Mexico City from Berlin re-
Gently. His return from his foreign
post was covered by the fact that Car.
ranza had called in many Of his diplo-
mats for conferences"
1t was declared by a high japanese
authority on Wednesday night that II
the German proposal Of an alliance
eve reached Tokyo 1t was regarded as
merely a new. ebullitiOn OF German
"kultur" and that 1t was thrown in the
~wastebasket where 1t belonged.
He asserted no such proposal had
been made to the embassy here and
that II II had been no attention would
have been paid to 1t.
He said "The. whole idea was absO-
lutely preposterOus."
In order to make an alliance with
Germany, he added, It would be neces-
sary for Japan to break from the allies
and negotiate a separate peace with
the TeutOnic powers. But above all
that, lie said, the japanese sincerely
desired friendly relations with the
United States.
