Paris, Dec. 23.-The President
first week in France finds the pre-
liminary situation surrounding the
toward the point where, according to
the Presidents expressed view, it will
be worth while for the United States
to participate.
The Presidents conferences with
French and Italian statesmen have
served to emphasize that he considers
treaty of peace not enough, but that
the general agreement to be made
among the nations must include sat
isfactory settlement of the question
of the freedom of the seas and a
league of nations.
The President now goes to England
to continue the discussions there along
the same lines as those he had with
the representatives of France and
Italy, which the Presidents advisers
describe as having been satisfactory.
President Wilson, in acknowledging
the honor bestowed upon him by the
University of Paris in the form of a
Doctors degree, said: 81 feel very
keenly the distinguished honor which
has been conferred upon me by the
great University of Paris, and it is
very delightful to me also to have the
honor of being indicted into the great
company of scholars whose life and
fame have made the history of the
University of Paris thing admirable
among men of cultivation in all parts
of the world"

VOICE SHARP CRITICISM
 OF MILITARY POLICY IN REICHSTAG

the west.t In that we have been de- ceived.
 It has not been possible as a mili- tary thought to crush the enemy. We will, on the contrary be compelled to do our utmost in avoiding being crushed ourselves.
 "Vice Chancellor von Payer en- deavored, in his speech at Stuttgart tC justify Germanys policy in the east. He even tried to harmonize his address with remarks recently made by Dr. W. s. SoIf, the secretary of State for Colonies. This was a diff cult undertaking, for Dr. Solf prob ably would have spoken quite differ ently had he been acquainted with the treaties supplementary to the Brest-Litivosk convention. It is very characteristic of the German govern ment."
 According to the Vorwaerts the at titude of the German government relative to the first Austrian peace note caused surprise in Berlin. 'There is a cleft in the alliance" the newspaper sayg.
 Civil authorities are overruled by the military on many occasions, ac- cording to the report of the debate in the main committee. Herr Scheidemann said that lat the order of the military some police porter forbids deputy to discuss a ques- tion which today expresses the en- tire attention of the German public" /" | It is pointed out that he referred to Franchise reform.

Flying Shows a Wonderful Advance
 In Last 10 Years

London, Oct 26-(Correspondence of The Associated Press)-No other development in human history has shown so remarkable results as has flying in the last ten years, says Lord Montague of Beaulieu, a British scientist. and aviation expert.
 When the Wright brothers visited Europe ten years ago." he said, "the airplane engines were of 24-horse power. Today they are of 75O horse power in some cases, and the air planes carrying capacity has increas- ed from about 126 pounds to 8 1-2 tons.
 Ten thousand feet was then the highest flight Today we are doiug 26,000. And while forty miles ar hour was then the highest speed, to- day we are approaching 16O.
 "The British army in France began with only 36 planes. may not give the number today, but 1t is huge"
 Long bights-to and from America for instance-would be possible after the war, Lord Montagu said, adding that he himself hoped some day to fly to India. For long distance flying however, he continued it would be necessary to evolve a silent engine for the public would not be willing tc take lengthy trips in noisy airplanes

New London, Oct. 25-Representa- tive men from all over Connecticut are here today to attend the annual session of the State Chamber of Com merce Owing to illness, President Edward P. Jones was unable to be present and his annual report was read this afternoon by Secretary Au- brey L. Middock. In his report the, president detailed the important measures the state chamber carried out during the past yeaf
 Tt seems to me that our job from now is to resist the appeals of the begging hypocrites-give Pershing and Petain and Haig and Foch orders to lay the foundation of a victorious and lasting peace. Germany has not yet suffered enough to be repentant. That Germany wants and is willing to pay any price for is time. America has shown that she could make war. It yet remains to be proved that she can make an enduring peace"
 The session of thes tate chamber is being held on the roof garden of the Mohican Hotel. It was called to or der at o'clock by Vice President AL ton B. Miner, of this city. Mayor E.. Frank Morgan welcomed the dele gates. The annual banquet will be held this evening, Saturday afternoon the delegates will take a trip around the harbor and visit the shipbuilding plants.

New York, Oct. 25-German news papers received here show that sharp criticism of the German military policy was voiced in debate during sitting of the main committee of the Reichstag late in September Deputy Adolph Groeber, of the Center party; Phillip Schiedemann, the socialist leader and now secretary of state without portfolio in Prince MaXimil- ians government; Deputy Ffscheck, of the Peoples progressive party, and Dr. Gustav Stresemann of the Nation al Liberty party, were the critics. The keynote of their remarks was that the military party relegates the people to the rear.
 According to the Vorwaerts, of Sep tember 26, the address of Herr Groe- Der was the greatest surprise of the day. In the past he has been a strong supporter of the militarist forces. During the debate he turn ed upon Chancellor von Hertling and also General von Stein, Prussian war minister, accusing the latter of hay ing forbidden meetings in favor of the peace resolution passed by the Reich stag in July, 1917.
 Phillip Scheidemann was unsparing in his criticism of conditions which have arisen during recent months.
 He said in part:
 "The last year has been the worst ever lived by the German people. II was believed that following the con clusion of peace in the east, a mili- tary superiority had been created ir

Hartford, Oct. 26-Connecticut far mers who have grown wheat or oth- CT grain should have no difficulty if they understand the United States Food Administration milling regula- tions, in disposing of their wheat or wheat substitutes.
 The Food Administration first an swer to all inquiries is that every mill in the state should be licensed milling wheat or rye without i- cense is a violation of the Food Ad- ministration regulations and it is known that there are a number of mills in Connecticut which are not li- oensed The Food Administration li- cerse costs nothing, and when licens- ed, a miller may, within the rules and regulations, deal in wheat flour and similar commodities.
 The Food Administration has no objection to the long time custom of farmers exchanging their own wheat for their supply of flour, provided they accept at the same time one pound of substitutes for each four bounds of wheat flour. Besides such substitutes cannot always be han
  administration is willing to accept a farmers pledge of strict compliance with the program of the Food, Ad- ministration and permit the delivery of flour without substitutes in cases where they have grown their own substitutes and promise to use them the same as in other households. Any farmer unwilling to sign this pledge may of course obtain his wheat flour in the open market the same as other individuals.
 For the information of Connecti- cut farmers, the Food Administration has compiled list by counties of li- censed mills which grind flour or meal for bread. The Food Admin istration also has a list of mills whicf

this great business so that the future may afford an increasingly better lot for the generations yet unborn. This is the task to- which America must address herself in the days of peace following this period, of war. It is impossible that this great ueve-op- ment can properly be conducreG ex- cept under the most disinterested and intelligent leadership.
 ITO whom will the country look for that leadership? Will ie turn back to the discordant elements of the Republican party and to discred- ited and stationary statesmen who seek to reapply the process of anti quity; or will the American people follow in the path blazed by our great President, and continue pur- pose which has already brought us immeasurable advantage and which has so signally reaffirmed our faith in the democratic form of govern- ment? There can be but one sane answer to this question:"

SPECIAL BOOKLETS ON SPANISH
 INFLUENZA
 We will send, on request, to any retail druggist, 100 or more little booklets, just issued, on Spanish In- fluenza, giving the latest information about this disease-its history symptoms-the ereatment, and partiC- ularly the use of Vick's VapoRub as an external application to supplement 1 the physicians treatment.
 NEW WAYS TO USE VAPORUB
 In addition to the usual method of using VapoRub-that is, applied over | the throat and chest and covered with | hot flannel cloths-our customers are writing us daily telling of their suc- cess in using VapoRub in other ways particularly as a preventive. They melt little in spoon and inhale 1 the vapors arising, or melt it in a l benzOin steam kettle. Where the steam kettle is not available, Vapo- i Rub can be used in an ordinary tea kettle. Fill the tea kettle half full ot boiling water, put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time keep the kettle just slowly boiling and inhale the steam arising.
 According to a bulletin just issued by the Public edith Service, Dr. Stiles l of this Service, recommends that the nose be kept greased as a preventive measure against the Influenza. For this purpose VapoRub is excellent.
