way such an improvement could be provided for the section around the ridge would be by taking up a pri- vate subscription among the residents and there is very little doubt but what they would. respond in very liberal manner. In the past when there has been a. fire in Berlin the only means employed to fight the flames was a bucket line or by, the calling of help from the New Britain department. When the New Britain department has been called they have rendered excellent service but the time occupied by the trip has usually given the flames fine chance to gather headway with the result that the outside help was used to save surrounding structures. If sonAe kind of g chemical were ~near at hand the danger would be greatly reduced as but short time would eiapse before they could respond to call for help. Other small towns about the state have some kind of fire protection and there is no reason why Berlin cannot have the same. There are any num- Der of concerns that could take 9 touring car and make it lover into a small fire truck that would answer the purpose. Berlip is unusually free from fires. but 1t would be far better to be on the safe side and have a small truck now and not after something has happened that the town would regret. It is expected that within a short time those inter- ested will call 8 meeting at which the matter will be discussed.

Warm Weather Gives Them Chance for Early Start
CHEMICAL ENGINE WANTED
Series of Fires in New Britain Opens Eyes of Local Residents to Need of Protection of Property-Homc Whist Club Meets.

The present spell of warm weather has offered the brick men in the town anjunlinited opportunity for an early start and one of the first concerns to take advantage will be the Donnelly Brick company. If the present plans are carried out the plant will start on it's 1917 brick making season some time next week. With the great amount of business that is being done in. the building line the coming season should be one of the most successful that has ever been enjoyed by the local manufacturers of brick. Last season the yards were somewhat han- ficapped for the want of help and many of the men left to take jobs in the. factories where they could com-i mand a higher wage. This season conditions are expected to be some- what improved as apparently there are more men about looking for places and the yards are expected to work at full time during the entire summer.
 With the Whist Players.
 ' Members of the Home Whist club gathered at the home of MT. and Mrs. Harold Upson last evening where, they enjoyed one of the most success ful whists ever given by the society. Miss Marjorie Moore showed her skill as a player by capturing the first ladies prize. while Miss Minnie Gibbs vas awarded the second. The first sentleman's prize was awarded to H. B.

 CaRcrty on Probation.
 Although he admitted that his patience is about exhausted, after having given the accused almost innu- merable opportunities to reform, Jus tice A. Fl. Condell last evening decid- ed to give another chance to James Cafferty and he suspended a sentence of thirty days in jail on. payment or the costs of prosecution.
 Cafferty was brought before tho court for intoxication, having been taken into custody Tuesday night by Constable Marine. The officer had in- tended to release him yesterday morn ing, but when he arrived at the lookup he discovered that the prisoner was even drunker than he was at the time of his arrest, friends evidently hav- ing given him whiskey.
 The accused would not admit Tn court that drink had been given to him after he was locked up. Justice Condell declared that he would im- pose a severe punishment on the par ties who passed the intoxicants into the cell, should evidence against them be secured, but as Cafferty refused to give any information, they seemingly escaped the wrath of the law.

SWISS BLAMED FOR
 : BERLIN'S FAUX PAS
Germany Led to Believe U. s. Favored Further Farley

Amsterdam, March 1, via London. 1O:51 a. m.-Foreign Secretary Zim- mermann has made statement be- fore the Reichstag in regard to the move made by Paul Ritter, Swiss min- ister to the United States, to bring about 8 re-opening of negotiations be- tween the United States and Ger many. According to a Berlin despatch to Reuters, Secretary Zimmerman said:
 'The facts are as follows: Febru- ary 3, through the Swiss federal coun- cil, we received a telegram from the Swiss minister at Washington, to whom. after the rupture. our inter- ests in America were entrusted. The telegram was as follows: Tn America the wish exists to avoid war should the German government show an in- clination to pursue the matter fur ther'
 Every speaker here has expressly emphasized that a breach with Amer lea was regrettable and it would un- doubtedly be still more regrettable if it came to war between Germany and the United States, between whom there are ancient friendly relations and no political antagonism. Econom- ically, we are, drawn to each other and should really be economic allies. Thus it is comprehensible that the imperial government desires to en- deavor to avoid everything which might intensity the conflict. For these reasons we examined the sug- gestions which reached us from the Swiss minister"
 Austria to Support Germany.
 Referring to the breach of rela- tions with America. Deputy Schiffer, national-liberal. declared that there was no doubt that Austria would. back up Germany in her attitude towards the United States. 'Austria's attitude need not worry us,'' he said. We are fully convinced of her loyalty toward the alliance
 Herr Schiffer concluded by saying that, although a large war indemnity would be a great benefit to Germany in the re-establishment of her eco homie position, yet Germany was un- doubtedly strong enough not to per- ish without an indemnity.
 Secretary Zimmerman, in reply to inquiries regarding his reported foodstuff agreement with Denmark, ~-'' that he could not make public the result of the negotiations but that there need be no alarm that this agreement would strengthen in any way England's position.
