FRENCH PAPERS
PRAISE ANSWER
Approve Reply OF Allies to
Wilson's Note.
DESIRE LASTING PEACE

Paris Journals Applaud Unity of Ac-
tion ard Aims as Expressed in Docu-
ment and Declare the Nations In
voIved Are Determined to Garry
Them Out.
Paris, Jan. 13.-The morning papers
are unanimous in their approval of
the reply of the allies to President
Wilson's note, the only difference be.
ing in the terms of expression.
Alfred capus, editor of the Figaro,
says:
"The principal value of the note Is
the clear and solemn declaration of
the allies as to their objects in pur-
suing the war 1t is the first TINA
they have been thus grouped and their
full moral worth, given to them by
their simple enumeration, forces on
the mind the conviction of their neces-
sity.
Either they will be fully attained
or Germany will be a contiual men
ace to Europe. and on the first op-
portunity, will again turn it into a
field of carnage.
Our enemies are now in possession
of our true aims. They can compare
them with their own and deduce there
from the degree of our resistance ami
our implacable resolve to yanqui sh
them"
Stephen Pichon. writing in the
Petit Journal says:
Germany refuses to reveal her
aims except in conference where She
would work her usual treachery and
divide in turn, one against another
the countries whose territory she vio-
lated and is now dismembering
The allies state clearly the OBJ
jects they desire to obtain which are
those of all men and nations who
desire to see emerge from the horri-
bic crisis in which thousands are per
ishing an era of peace, work and JUS
tice
Has Confidence in Wilson.

they will distinguish between the two
conceptions, the two methods, and
President Wilson, jurist, but also ad-
vocate of human ideas, will have no
difficulty in making up his mind
I'VE have spoken for the world"
says the Petit Parisien, "for the en-
tente peoples. for their adversaries
and also for neutrals.
President Wilson, whose dne sense
of Justice is known, cannot fail to be
struck by the truthfulness of the docu-
ment, by our eagerness to meet his
views and by the proofs we have ac-
cumulated of Germany's violence.
"The special note addressed to him
by Belgium. so dignified and so calm,
will confirm the judgment which his
conscience has already pronounced.
1t now is plainly shown that the en-
tente has nothing to hide. VIII our
adversaries be equally frank?"
The Matin calls the note a new
charter whereby the allies seek 10
create a stable and definite regime
under which all people. great and
small, can prosper in peace.
There is in the reply" says the
paper, neither boasting nor a mis-
understanding of the present military
situation
THE firm language used by the al.
lies has been inspired In them by Il
certainty, founded on knowledge OF
, their power and the losses of Their
adversaries, that the objects thev Sc.
themselves to gain will be attained. :

Tryon, and violin selections were given by Alvin Holmquist. Several pleasing recitations were given by Mrs. c. J. Burr Miss Catherine Gull long and Mrs. Sharpe. "Simplified Spelling" which was recited by Mrs. Burr was generously applauded.
 A good sum was realized on the fancy work sale also. Rural Carrier Resigns. Charles w. Williams of Kensington, for the past 15 years rural free de- livery carrier, has resigned his office, his resignation to take effect on De- cember 15. MT. Williams resigned because of his declining health. During the time that MT. Williams has been carrier he had made hun
 dreds of friends by his pleasing per sonality and congenial disposition. His resignation will be received with much regret.
 During the fifteen years that he
 has been in charge of the rural free
 delivery, MT. Williams has handled
 approximately 2,340,0O0 pieces of mail. MT. Williams has to travel 2S
 miles each day to collect and deliver
 mail. With the consolidating Of the Ser lin and Kensington rural free de-
 liveries, last June, MT. Williams du-
 ties were greatly increased. Before
 that time he had 21 miles of terri , tory to look after.
 During the past two years his health has been declining and through advice of his physician, he ! decided to resign rather than jeopar-
 dize his health by the wintry winds and snow.
 An application has already been
 received by Postmaster Pagan for the
 position from Hiram Hurlburt. The i applicant is 23 years of age. [ Sending Out Boxes. l Twenty boxes, packed with all ! kinds of goodies and smokes i were mailed th:s morning by Court l Mattebessett, Foresters of America, "o l the former members now in service. i AS some money was left over after the boxes were packed for the menl-
 bers of the court, 1t was decided to
 send packages to some of the other
 boys in service from Berlin. At the next meeting of the court officers for
 the ensuing year will be elected. Replies to Critics. In replying to the criticism that
 has been directed against him because
 it is said he took advantage of the
 sugar scarcity in Berlin yesterday
New Britain herald., 1917-12-07

and sold the sweetening at IA cents Dennis Negri of Kensington has sent a communication to the Herald in which he tries to justify the stand taken by the grocers in charging ex- orbltant prices. He says that he does not take advantage of the situation since he sells only one pound to each customer and does not compel the purchaser to buy other articles. He further asserts that he could have sold his entire supply to one party TOT much larger price without hav- ing to go into the trouble of putting it up into pound bags.
 He states that he sells sugar for only II cents, although it is elaine d he sold it for A cents yesterday.
 The letter follows:
 "To the New Britain Herald: Please note that the price of sugar is II cents a pound when we have any to sell and while I admit that if we should sell it at a higher price it would be unlawful, if wo,,]d only be right and not taking advan- tage of the scarcity because we sell only one pound to each customer and we do not coppel them to buy any,
 
 One must take into consideration that l only succeeded in getting 100 pounds after calling at the wholesale houses every morning for two weeks and I could have sold the same to one party at much higher price with out taking so much trouble to put if up in one pound bags. Thanking you for use in vour Valuab ble columns
 ID. s. NEGRI."
 Denies Charges. Although it was reported this morning that Joseph Padelli sold sington grocer this morning denied the charge He said that the has not had sugar in his store for two weeks and when he did have any he sold it at Il cents. He said that on one occasion he sold 1t at 13 cents q pound but never charged more.

 In sentencing Garter to Jail. Judge Griswold sounded warning to all of the other employees at the railroad camp. Numerous complaints have been received of the rowdyism of the men, and should any of them face him in court, long jail terms will be meted out. he said.
 Western Scene Enacted.
 A real wild and woolly western scene was enacted in Kensington last evening when a number of the em- ployes of the railroad camp, after re- ceiving their pay, decided to celebrate. Thirty men from the Plainville camp were transferred to Kensington yes- terday and. in honor of the occasion, the local emporium is said to havo done a rushing business last night. While returning to their camp, the men awoke many of the residents while attempting to sing the latest ballads.
 It is said that proper provision for housing the men had not been made by the railroad officials and many of the employees were forced to sleep on the floor. Judge Griswold, following court session this morning, stated that the men will have to be quiet and law < abiding while making their residence lfhere or everyone will be arrested and sentenced to terms in jail.
 Robbed of S25O.
 A man, who refused to give his name. complained to Prosecutor Will 1 liam H. Gibney yesterday that he was | robbed of $150 on Thanksgiving day at the railroad station. The man said that the money was taken from his pocket while he was waiting for a 1 train. He told MT. Gibney that he had notified the Hartford and Spring l field police of his loss. When ques- toned as to his name and address the man refused to give any information. Supper Success.

COMMITTEE TO BE FORMED
Representative of Churches, Social and Fraternal Organizations Will Serve As MembcrS-"HellO GirlS'' to Hold Dance in ForeStville.

To centralize the giving and to equalize the distribution of gifts from
 the many sources to Plainville boys who are in the service 8 committee for this purpose will be formed under the direction of John H. Trumbull Plans as formulated by MT. Trum bull are to have a representative from each society, club and fraternal or
 ganization and from each church on the committee.
 Those who will be members of this committee have been named and
 meeting was to have been held We'd
 nesday evening in the town hall. It was postponed and will be held next Wednesday in the Grange hall at 8 o clock.
 It is thought that the proposed 1 work of the committee will bring all around satisfaction and will insure
 that gifts and remembrances will be equally distributed among the boys who have offered their services for democracy.
 1 Instead of individually buying gifts the various organizations will turn the money over to the committee through their respective representa- tive. The central committee in turn
 will do the purchasing and distribut. ing. 3f f-se To Hold Dance. 1t-,.F The Hello Girls" dance which was
 to be held Saturday night in the town
 hall and which it was thought would
 have to be postponed owing to the
 inability of those in charge to secure 1 a hall in which to stage the affair, will be held tomorrow evening in the
 Forestville hall. It is said that ef-
 forts to secure the grange hall were
 to no avail. Mayor Dutton of Bris-
 tol who has the renting of the For l estville hall established a precedent in
 leasing the hall to the operators at
 the local exchange as 1t Is not usually rented to outsiders.
 Proceeds of the dance will be used in buying smokes and remembrances i for the drafted men in the service.

Insurance Men Enpected.


 Speaking in regard to the estimated loss at the Town hall by fire ant 1 water, First Selectman. Johnson stated this morning that the insurance mer 1 had been notified and they are expect ed in Plainville either today or to, morrow. Twelve thousand dollars insurance was carried on the building { and it is probable that the town will be reimbursed with large share of this amount, as it is the consensus of opinion that the building is a complete wreck
 The Town hall was erected in 1888 and construction cost upward of $12,O00. At the present time a dupli- cate of the building could not be erected for double that amount To rebuild on the ruins of the former structure, it is figured, would cost as much as it would to build a new and modern building.
 As soon as the many matters are strengthened out 1t is likely that q special town meeting will be called to definitely decide just what action should be taken.
 Special Meeting Held.
 The special meeting of the Forest CTS club was held last evening in the association rooms on Pierce street. A committee appointed by the local grange met with them.
 The purpose of the meeting was to determine the pleasure of the mem bers as regards dividing their rooms one-half to house the town officers and the other half to continue as recreation rooms for the members.
 Although such procedure was not mandatory, members willingly voted to partition the lower floor building in halves. Until other arrangements are made, the town clerk and first se- lectman will have their quarters in the grange hall.
 The front part of the hall is at present being used as. storeroom The voting machines, safe, library books, desks and chairs from the Town hall,w were all placed there dur ing and after the fire. Selectman Johnson stated this<cmorning that the books would have to be moved, al- though he did not mention where
 It was also voted at the meeting to allow the f1remen to hold their meet ings there in the future or until they established rooms for themselves.
 The rooms were used last evening by the ambulance company. Instead Of the usual drill, first aid work and bandaging was done.
 The members of the Plainville Hose company will hold meeting this evening at 8 o'clock in the Foresters' club rooms.
