Although in this country for IS years Anthony SObetski wanted to talk through an . interpreter. Prosecutor Klett got him talking about the trouble and then there was no need for a translator. SObetski talked a blue streak. He said he went shopping and his purchases to the amount of $4 were appreciated by the grocer, who offered to buy a drink on the strength of the trade He had a drink and bought a bottle of liquor and he claimed that a wo- man stole it from him and he put up an argument to recover it.

East Main Street Fighter With 76th Division Writes Of Welcome

Private Abraham II. Bayer of East Main street who recently arrivcr over seas with the 76th Army Division, has written to his mother telling of the enthusiastic welcome accorded the Americans by the French. Inasmuch as there are a great many New Brit ain boys in tho 18th division this letter, which follows is of more than passing interest:
 "A week ago we arrived in St. Amand amidst a shower of rain and applause; today the rain is present, but the applause has died out and the people are accustomed to seeing Americans in their city. Today also represents the going on of the fifth year of the war, but if the news keeps coming as encouraging as it has in the past month there will be no sixth year. The French and Americans have been driving the Germans back at wonderful rate with our boys do- ing the hrunt of the work. Even the English have to admit that our "Ganks' are the boys with the big punch.
 1esterday a. number of American troops stopped here, having been dis charged from q hospital after serv- ing at the front, and were now on their way back to replacement camps. At this camp they will be examined and either sent back to ther old or s5anizationS or to a new one, or put on some other special work. Some will he discharged; it all depends upon the seriousness of their wounds. They were our guests at our billets for a few hours and from them we heard some mighty fine stories of bravery, of the life, the trenches and the fight ing. They told us how the Germans feared the Americans thinking they were barbaric '1ndians' who scaIped their victims. They also told stories concerning the German fear of the bayonet and how the boys take ad- vantage of it.
 And these boys smiled through it all, eager to get back to the front. These fellows were a healthy-looking crowd and as jolly a crowd as could be found. They were very pleasant company, mostly because they were Am orleans. I am writing this letter from the Hospital Service de Sauite" pharmacy laboratory. It is a French hospital and the Americans have
  time as we are able to have one of our own erected. At the present time the work of organization is in progress and things are going better than one would expect after only a few days This is due to the splendid physicians and surgeons at the head of the hos pital. The American Red Cross nurses arrived here a few days ago and it seemed almost a God-send to be able to talk United States to a United States girl This iabbering in French is all right, but it gets monotonous and tiresome so that you long to talk our good old mother tongue.
 '"The weather here is similar to our New England climate, as is the seen cry. q mean the natural vscenery) Am awaiting the letters from home and am anxious to know how you and the rest are"

sessions to Subjc,

Amsterdam, Aug. 24.--A policy of the former Russian emperor by his mother, the Dowa ger Empress of Rus sia, early in 1916, according to the
 secret diary of the emperor as pub lished by the Izvestia of Moscow. The alleged letter was dated January fl, 1916, shortly before the assembly of the first Duma. According to a Moscow dispatch to the Rheinische Westfaelsche zeitune of Essen, the abbreviated text reads: Dear Nicky:
 We are deeply thankful for your dear letter. It breathes a new spirit If earlier we had been more energetic and shown more firmness in the exer- else of power much would have been avoided. l do not understand why Witte Gone time Russian premier) lost so much time.
 NOW the question which greatly occupies and disQuiets me-the ques- tion of the cabinet and crown domains which these swine want to take from
 us according to their various party
 programs. They must be impressed
 with the fact that no one shall dare to
 interfere with these personal rights of the emperor and his family. It would
 be great historical mistake if we now gave way in the slightest point Every concession would be interpreted as weakness. Our absolute principle now
 must be a policy of unrelenting power.
 The letter, which was written partly in Russian and partly in French, closes with the repeated admonition be strong.'
 The year the DOwager Empress letter was written according to the Moscow dispatch--1 9 1 6--evidently is an error. The first Duma met on April 27, 1906, during the premiership of Count Witte.
