ON PEACE MISSION
Henderson's Journey to Paris
Causes FURRY in London

London, Aug. 1.-The fact that
member of the cabinet Arthur Hem
derson. minister without portfolio in
the war council, had gone on mis-
sion to Paris with the pacifist Ram
say Macdonald, NJ. P. George. James
Wardle, chairman of the labor party
in the house of commons, and Rus
sian delegates aroused great agitation
among the members of parliament
and seems to threaten trouble in the
government. The purpose of the jour-
ney Is to confer with French social
lists in regard to the proposed confer
ence of Allied socialists at London and
the subsequent international confer
ence at Stockholm.
The crux of the matter lies in the
fact that Mr.. Henderson, since her e
turned from Petrograd. reversed his
attitude on the question of the British
labor party and socialists meeting the
German Representatives at Stockh ohm
and now advises them to rescind the
general resolution against joining the
conference with enemy delegates Mr.
Henderson has not publicly explained
his change of views. but it is known
to be the result of his visit to Russia.
1t Is stated that the heads Of labor
parties officially accepted his advice
which, nevertheless, seems to have
caused crisis in the party, which is
now unanimous in its support of Mr.
Henderso
The government has been closely
questioned in the house Of commons
in the past few days on the subject
of Mr.. Henderson's mission to Paris
and the admission by Andrew Bonar
Law, chancellor of the exchequer, that
it was settled without the govern
ment's knowledge and that the gov
eminent was ignorant of what he was
doing in Paris has increased the gen.

SPRAY POTATOES TO
STOP LATE BLIGHT
Fungus Disease May Be Prevent
ed With Bordeaux Mixture

Washington, Aug. Potato late
causing enormous destruction, has
appeared In several states from Maine
to New jersey and West Virginia. &C
cording to the United Stotes Depart
ment of agriculture. The blight oc-
CURED early this year and reports
show that it Is more prevalent than
usual. While in some fields the blight
is already beyond CONTROL prompt
spraying with Bora aux mixture will.
in most cases, still be effective, the
specialists advise. Unless potato grow
mixture, they fear that the large po-
tato crop that has been promised will
not be realized. as late blight if un-
controlled, is capable of reducing the
national crop at the rate of 100000
bushels per day.
Potatoes in the northern states are
just beginning to form tubers To
produce large crop the tops must
be kept healthy till frost, as the tub
ers increase in size most rapidly dur
ing the last weeks of the season. The
late blight kills the tops. and causes
the tubers to rot in the ground. The
blight starts in a few centers in the
field where diseased potatoes were
planted. Brown spots develop on the
leaves and whitish mildew appears
on their undersida. Frequent rains
and warm, mugey weather furnish
ideal conditions for the develo pm nt
of the blight under which the foliage
blights rapidly, the leaves hang black
ened and dead and the tubers begin
to rot. Dry and hot weather on the |
other hand tends to check the prog !
ress of the blight, but owners |
should spray Immediately and !
not trust their crops entirely to i'm
provement in weather conditions.
AS an effective preventive Of late
blight Bordeaux mixture has proved
its value for rs years. Every grower

say that the war cabinet, Of which
Mr.. Henderson is still presumably
member, although his place was taken
by George N. Barnes while he was in
Russia, is greatly embarrassed by the
turn events has taken. i
Mr.. Henderson's fellow mem bers Of
the labor party in the ministry met in
the house Of commons last evening to
discuss the situati but decided to
await his return before acting.

Land Transfer.
A parcel Of land and all live stock,
farming tools and all crops growing

The land is bounded as follows:
North by land Of Carrie Bennett or
assigns and land Of Martin Crowley
partly by each; east by land of Mar
tin Crowley and a highway. partly by
each; south. by land of Isaac Alling
or assigns and west by land of Marcus
Jacops or assigns.
Hurrah for Alling.
After persistent efforts and several
trips to Hartford in an effort to secure
an interview with State Highway
Commissioner Bennett, First Select
man W. I. Alling succeeded in locat-
ing him yesterday. At the conference
between the two men conditions re-
garding the building of the new
bridge over Harris pond near the
American Paper Goods company, was
discussed.
AS result Mr.. Alling Is in receipt
of letter this morning from the
commissioner which Is highly graft
flying. It seems as If at last the ma
chinery will be set in motion and the
bridge constructed.
The letter follows:
First Selectman of the
Town Of Berlin,
Dear Sir:-I send you herewith
blueprints showing the location of the
bridge at Kensington in the town OF
Berlin.
Confirming conversation of this
| morning, and referring to section / 2
! of the rules of the road, motor We
hicle law, page "a, I must insist that
the bridge to be built by the town of
Berlin shall be 21 feet of width, not

! there shall be a clear roadway of 21
| feet when the bridge is constructed.
You realize that this does not in
clude an extra sidewalk which must
be additional width. If the sidewalk is

Very truly yours,

Transfer.

Norman Lewis Beckley, third Sc
1ectman Of the town of Berlin, died
last night at Given's sanitarium in
Stamford after an illness of g weeks.
His death was due to nervous trouble
and a complication of diseases, said
to be brought on by the extreme heat.
A short time ago the hospital officials
thought he was on the way to COM
plete recovery but owing to the tor
rid weather he developed a fever and
GRADUALLY grew worse until the time
of his death.
About ten weeks ago his wife was
suddenly stricken III with a rheu-
matte disease and shortly afterward
died On account of Mr.. Beckley's
critical condition 1t was thought best
that the sad news be kept from him.
He never learned Of his wife's death.
Two children survive, Louis and
Doris Louis graduated last spring
from Colgate university and Doris is
a senior at the High School.
The funeral will! be held tomorrow
afternoon at his home and interment
will be held in Becky quarter Rev.
Samule Fiske was to officiate but on
account of the fact that he left this
morning on his vacation the clergy
man has not been decided upon.
Mr.. Beckley was one of the most
highly esteemed men in the town and
came from one OF the oldest families
in the vicinity. He was born in Mid
dletown, August 7, 1856. the son of
Lewis Beckley and Roxanna (Tryon)
Beckley. He lived most of his life in
Reckley quarter.
He was the direct descendent of a
family by the name of Beckley that
settled in Beckley quarter over $50
years ago. For 16 years this family
lived in that town before it was set
tied by other white men.
About 80 years ago Mr.. Beckley
took as his bride Miss Roxanna Tryon
of West Cromwell and after the mar
riage they moved to Beckley where
they resided until the end.
People everywhere this morning
expressed their grief and sympathy on
learning of Mr. Beckley's death and
because of the fact that Louis, aged
%, and Doris, aged Is, have met with
double loss.
On account Of Mr.. Beckley's modest
and unassumins nature he was never
IN the lmelight to any considerable
extent. However. his popularity
among the town people was shown
last fall when he ran for first select
man. He was declared elected by
the moderator but the decision was
protested by Willard L. Altng. the
other candidate, and taken to the su-

BAD TEETH CAUSE OF
MANY ARMY REFLECTIONS

More applicants for service are re-
jected for bad teeth than any other
cause, say the recruiting officers. A
recent investigation made by the u.
S. Public Health Service in connec-
ton with studies of rural school chill
rem showed that 43.9 per cent. had
defective teeth and only 1863 per cent.
never used a tooth brush, 5S.2 per
cent. used one occasionally and only
20.7 per cent. used one daily.
Defective teeth reduce physical eff
ficiency. Dirty, snaggle-toothed mouths
are responsible for many cases Of heart
disease, rheumatism and other oragnic
affections. The children are not re-
sponsible for neglected state of their
teeth. The ignorant and careless par
ent is TO blame for this condition.
condition which hampers mental and
physical growth and puts permanent
handicap in our future citizens. School
teachers can and are doing much in
intoxicating habits Of personal cleanli
ness in the rural child, but this will
fail of the highest accomplishment un
less parents cooperate heartily and
continuously. This is a duty which
you owe your children.
