DOMINICAN MINISTER REMOVED
 BY MILITARY AUTHORITIES
Reason Given is the Necessity of Re.
 ducin9 Expenses.

Washington. Jan. 1S.-Dr. A. Pere1
 Perdomo, Dominican minister here, has been removed by the American mili-
 tary government temporarily in charge of Dominican affairs. The reason given is the necessity for reducing eZ-
 penses. A charge will be left at the
 legation here.
 Last nights despatches from Hav- ana reported the removal of the Dom inican charge there. The Amerf- can forces in the island republic some time ago took control of it's affairs to straighten out a financial tangle which resulted from a deadlock between the local political factions. The repub-' lies revenue was sufficient, 1t was said, but was being wasted.
 Had not Dr. Perdomo been removed his continuation in ofnce. especially in Washington, might in time have prov en an embarrassment because he had circulated among Latin-American dip- Iomats a protest against the action of the American government in assuming charge of the island republic.
 The removal of Manuel Morilio, charge in Cuba, was not because of his alleged opposition to the government, according to advices received here. but because fcertain alleged mis- conduct in office. It was indicated to- day that the policy of the American military authorities and consular rep who prove themselves un- fit but that in all eases their places would be taken or the duties discharg- ed by other Dominicans.

EARLY DEMoRILIZATloN OF
 THE NATIONAL GUARI
Is Forecast in Washington commeni
 on Mexican Situation.

Washington, Jan. 18.-Although VII las operations have injected confus. | ing factors into the situation in north ern Mexico and along the border, there is every indication that the admins l tration is going f6-ward with it's plans fo rearly withdrawal of Pershin's eX- petition and demobiiization of the na- tional guard.
 Officials here have insisted that 1t
 was impossible to set definite date for the troop movements because of
 the uncertainty of transportation facil- ities and because the situation at the border and beyond constantly is chang ing. It has been indicated clearly, however, that unless there was some unexpected deVelopment Pershing's
 withdrawal and the return of the
 guardsmen would be ordered within a.
 few days, possibly by the end Of this
 week.
 The reports on Villas new campaign apparently have not disturbed this de- termination, but they have somewhat bewildered official ideas as to the real situation and in the end may operate to hold up orders until a more thorough investigation has been made. Army officers content that the Per shing force would be fin a better mili- taf'y position if withdrawn and re- grouped. but they are anxious to locate the Villa forces more definitely before there is any American movement.
 Border despatches today transmit ting runors that the guardsnlen would be ordered home within five days were heard by war department officials without comment. General Funston has exercised a wide discretion regard ing details of troop disposition and it is assumed generally that the eXnct date will depend largely on his as- sessment of conditions along the bor- der and in the territory where Villa is operating.

 Measures Introduced by Local Rep
 resentatives.
 Among measures introduced by Rep resentative Harry k. Back in the leg islature at Hartford Thursday were resolutions appointing Judge w. Fen ner Woodward to succeed himself as judge of the town court of Killingly N. Tucker to succeed himself in that office Another resolution by MT. Back was to give to manufacturing concerns the right to have special con- the towns in which their plants are located, these constables to have au- thority on the premises of the company only.
 Another resolution by MT. Back pro- Vides for change in the provisions of a statute relating to the foreclosure of mortgages by sale. At present if the plaintiff in foreclosure action buys the property involved he must bring his money to the superior court and pay it over to the clerk, receiving it back in due time. Under the proposed arrangement the expenses of the sale would be taxed as costs in the action, the plaintiff paying only such sum, If that happened to be the case as might be in excess of his claim.
 Another measure that will be in- troduced by MT. Back next week pro- vides for an increase in the fees al lowed justices of the peace for their services, this in criminal actions. Some time since the fees for grand jurors were advanced and it is felt that in- as the duties of justice are at least as exacting as those of the grand jurors, the compensation of the Justices should be advanced. The benefit of such a measure enacted into law would be felt in the country towns or the state. not in towns and cities having minor courts

GRANGE ENDORSEMENT
 WAS ENCOURAGING
Suffragists EIated Over Action Taken by State Grange, in Session at Nor wich.
CContributed.s

| (Contributed.f
 The enuorsement of woman suffrage by the Connecticut Grange at it's an-
 nual meeting in Norwich marks an
 frage movement The National
 Grange in 1916 endorsed not only the
 principe of woman suffrage but also
 the suffrage amendment to the United
 States Constitution, as the members of
 the grange from some of the states
 were well aware that the difficulty of
 amending the state constitution con-
 stitutes almost permanent bar
 the support of the grange ought to
 make much easier the passage of suf-
 frage measures in the present session of the legislature. The grange is all
 ways in favor of temperance, and the bill in particular for giving women the vote on the question of license or no-hcense ought to meet with the hearty support of every member of the Connecticut grange.
 Last September the National Wom- an Suffrage Publishing company pub HShed a book of the laws of all the states, affecting women and children. The book was compiled by a Connec- ticut suffra gist--Mrs. Annie G. Por- ritt of Hartford. It has proved so useful to suffragists and to women interested in. reform movements that already another edition of the book is called for. A new edition is being prepared with the addition of all the latest changes-such as the results in regard to prohibition of the recent election; the new laws passed Up to the time of adjournment of the six teen legislatures that were either in regular or extra session in 1918. and any corrections that experience has shown to be necessary The new edi- ton will be at suffrage headquarters, Hartford, in the course of a few weeks.
 Interest in the county jails, which was stirred up by the investigation in New Haven, is being further Stimu- lated by investigations undertaken by committees of suffragists in each of the other counties. In Hartford and Holland counties, where the jails have been visited. the reports were good so far as the work of the sheriff and ma irons was concerned. Everything pos- sfble under a bad system seems to be done to conduct these jails in Q sani- tary and humane fashion, but the very excellence of the management empha- sizes the evils of a system which has in it no element of reformation, but which is waSteful of the money of the and of the lives of the women who come under its operation. The demand grows more and more strong for the building of farm col- ony for delinquent women

REGENT CONFERENCES
 IN ROME AND LONDON
Resulted in Dissemination to Rush War to Conclusion Satisfactory to Entente Allies.

London. Jan. IS, 4.07 D. m.-The re- cent conferences in Rome and Lon- don between entente civilian and r1ili- tary traders developed the utmost har- war to a conclusion satisfactory to the allies, according to the opinion ex- pressed by Major General F. B. Maur- ice, chief director of military oper-
 ciated Press today in discussing the latest events of the war.
 Our enemies" said General Maurice,
 fare foud of stating in their press that
 France has tired of the war, while
 hinti1g at a separate peace for Russia,
 but I can confidently as a result of the return of the delegates from Rome and at last weeks conference in Lon don with General Nivelle. that these meetings were much more important in bringing victory nearer than any re- cent military events. The result of these conferences showed the allies heartily agreed in a determination not to accept an inconclusive peace and that they are as one in their determin- ation to make good job of it before they are ready to discuss terms.
 Tn the purely military realm, our raids continue with increasing suc- cess and diminishing casualties to our attackers, who bring back as many prisoners as our total casualty list, thus putting the enemy's dead and wounded on the plus side of our ledg- CT.
 1"Tte enemy's offensive in Rounqania has not only halted but pushed back a step. This result probably is due to Russian endorsements, but wealth CT conditions may also have had share in haIting the Germans"
 Tn connection with reports of the of German attack on General Maurice de- clared that for such an operation the Germans would be compelled to weak en their other fronts, which could be done only at a grave risk.
