GOVERNOR VETOES NEW SUNDAY BILL Will Not Leeaize Sale of Ice
 Cream, Etc., on Sabbath WOULD CLOSE DRUG STORES sixty-ffve Pharmacies in New Brltain Would Be Forced to Lock Doors- Articles Enumerated in NBin Not Periahable. z
 
WOULD CLOSE DRUG STORES

! Hartford, May 8,-Governor Hol- comb today returned to the General Assembly with his disapproval bill passed last week which would have legalixed the sale Of various articles such as ice cream, soda water, tobacco, newspapers and gasoline on Sunday. This was the governors second veto message on . Sunday bill. The bill in question was objected to on the ground that while some of the articles mentioned are of . perishable nature others can be bought on a Saturday just as well as on Sunday. The mes- sage. which went to the house was as follows:
 To the honorable General Assembly:
 return herewith chapter POS of the public acts of 1917 entitled Ian act concerning the sale of articles on Sun- day. for. the following reasons:
 With the exception of milk, ice, ice cream and possibly baking pro- ducts, the articles enumerated in this proposed act can not be called perish- able. and could be as we'll purchased on the day preceding Sunday as on Sunday. Under modern conditions, the Sunday newspapers may be con- sidered a necessity and in case of sick ness the filing of . physician's pre- scription would be . necessity, and the natural place to get 1t filled would be a drug store. Most druggists in this state have Q druggists license to sell spirituous and intoxicating liquors, and such drugstores could not legally en- gage in any business on Sunday under the provisions oE the last clause of this act.
 The proposed act would close on Sunday sevcnty-two drug stores in Hartford. sixty-flye in New Britain. one hundred. and eighteen in Hartford county. and probably nearly a thou- sand In the state. None of these could sell . glass of soda or mineral water, or fill a phystcian's prescription or do any other business on Sunday. while the fruit stores and shops could open and do business.

BERLIN TAKES STING

Copenhagen, Via London. May B.. The German version of the French official war report of last Saturday suppressesa entirely the reference of a portion of the Hindenburg line southeast of Vauxaillon. Other evi- dences of the doctoring of allied official reports to make them agree with claims in the German official statements indicates the anxiety of the German authorities as to the effect of of the news from the western front upon public opinion.
 A supplem entary report supplied to the Monday morning papers through tho German enmotal nAws bureau ignores ail French successes except the capture of Winterburg hill and Is written in such a strain as to evoke headlines like French defeated on Aisne in gigantic onslaught" This report asserts that almost all French initial successes were lost through German counter attacks and that the French attempt to storm and capture the Chemin des Danes ridge and break through the German front was a complete failure.
 London, May 8.-'"The enemy's ar- tillery was active at intervals through out the night at number of places along our front. particularly in the sector between Fresnoy and Loos, says today's official statement. Our, artillery replied. We made success full raids during the night in the nefghborhood of Neuvo Chapelle and Fauquisart Our. positions northwest of Armentires were raided yesterday evening by small party of the enemy. After hand to hand fighting the enemy were driven out, leaving Q few dead in our trenches. A few of our men are missing. Another enemy raid south of Armentires was re- pulsed"

Agitation for His Downfall Openly t. Carried on i'm Press and Parliament \, --Austro-Hungari Under. Fire
 for Suggestion of Moderate Peace
 Tesms-vorwaerts Demands He Mako Known His Views.

Copenhagen, May 8, via London The conservatives and Pan-Germans have now brought up their heavy artillery in the battle against Chan | cellor Von Bethmann- -Idollweg and 1 boldly lay the blame for the long duration of the war at his door. The conAeryatives Deutsche Tages Zeitung explains that three of four days delay In German mobilization at the outset of the war. due to the chancellor's hesitation policy, caused the loss of the battle of the Marne.
 The paper holds that the troops that were detached, to stem the Rus sian invasion of east Prussia would have been suf1fcient to change the de- feat of General Von Kluck's army into a victory and that in that case the war would have ended in . speedy and decisive German triumph. It goes on to declare that the chan cealor threw away second chance of 4terminating the war by opposing ruthless submarine warfare. It cites Field Marshal Conrad Won Hoetxen.. dorf. Austrian commander in chief, as saying recently:
 s"The war would have been over long ago If the submarine campaign had begun a year earlier.'
 The pan-Germans and annexation ists also are comparing the chancelI3r to. Rismark and demanding hts re- 4tirement hecause he does not measure X ilp to Germany's ..lron man." The aattatiop for the downfall of Deth-. mann-F FIollweg is unconcealed in prees and parliament and is rainforoed hy mSss meetings organized by imper@. < ialist lea8saee and tho indspendent AS.Sf fco <N> a ahlkteFneGe increases as the. chances gspw for reform of political con- ditfons In Germany. The chancallor's opponents couple their attacks with far from hattering remarks about the AUetro- Hungarian government for !ts declaration in favor of moderate peace terms.

The shotgun treatment for
bank bandits seems to be an ef-
fcacious remedy in Oklahoma,
where four were killed and one
was injured and captured last
week. In cases of this kind it is
immaterial whether the state has
capital punishment on it's stat
ute books or not, as the bandits
get their just deserts at the hands
of the posse and the state saves
the expense of a trial. The
only criticism we have to offer
is on the poor craftsmanship OF
the member of the posse who
only wounded the bandit, and he
should either be court-martialed
or given further instruction in
target practice.
