GERMAN TREATY
LIMITS RIGHTS

Lord Robert Cecil, English Under
Secretary of Foreign Affairs, answer
ing a question in the British House
of Commons, on May 31st, denounc-
ed the stipulations in the treaty be-
tween Germany and Roumania which
purport to guarantee full rights to the
Jews in the latter country. He said
that the clauses which refer to this
question were framed solely to give
Germany an additional pretext for in
terfering with the internal affairs of
Roumania. The British Government
he went on to say, have full sympa-
thy with the cause of Jewish enfran-
chisement in Roumania and else
where. But it is to the full program
of Liberation which the Roumanian
Government had itself adopted prior
TO the treaty and not to- this restricted
scheme, which His Majesty's Govern
ment will adhere.

NUTMEG STATE
HAS SUPPLIED
100 FOR TANKS

Hartford, June 6-Recruiting fig
ures of the Tank Corps indicate that
Connecticut has supplied approx
mately 100 men for the new lighting
unit of the army overseas. Men are
still being indicted or enlisted in
this service through the office of Leo
A. Korper, federal director for Con-
necticut of the U. S. Public Service
Reserve and War Service Exchange,
with which the Connecticut State
Council of Defense co-operates. The
tank service is open to men of draft
age.
Lieut.. T. W. Crosby, recruiting Of
ficer for the Tank corps of the Ma
tional Army, has made four trips to
Connecticut to receive the men Sc
cured through Mr.. Korper's office.
Most of these men are skilled in some
line that will make their services
valuable in France. Those entering
the '1and battleship" corps are prom
ised speedy opportunity for overseas
service where the intensive part of the
training will be given. Amefcan
tanks have gone into action and men
of ability and courage will find
much to attract them in the Treat
'em Rough" corps.
There is a splendid chance for men
of inventive skill to use their gifts
in improving the machinery and
equipment of the American tank. 1t
also offers unusual advantage for ra-
pid promotion for properly qualified
men as non-commissioned and COM
missioned officers are promoted from
the enlisted personnel. Applicants
should write or call at Mr.. Korper's
office, Room rs, State Capitol,
Hartford. Appointments can be made
by telephone.

RAPID INCREASE
IN SALARIES OF
STATE OFFICIALS
House Judiciary Committee
Reports Pay Of State
Judges More Advancing.
BILL PRESENTED
AT WASHINGTON
Asking Increase of Pay For
United States District
Court Judges.

Washington, June 6.-Salaries of
judges of state courts in many locali-
ties have been increased more rapidly
than those of Federal judges, with the
result that men of high talent are at
tracted more readily to the state
benches, according to a report today
by the House Judiciary Committee,
recommending a bill to increase the
salaries of all United States District
and Circuit judges.
-'It was shown to the Judiciary
Committee that in recent years a num-
Der of able and efficient judges were
compelled to leave the bench because
their salaries were insufficient to
maintain their families" declared
Representative Steele of Pennsylvania
in the report. MANY judges remain
on the bench at great financial sacri-
fee, simply because of their devotion
to their judicial duties and the honor
of their judicial position.
"In New York, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey the salaries Of state judges
have increased considerably more than
1000 per cent. In Pennsylvania the
Judges of the Supreme Court receive
$4,000 a year and of the Superior
Court SIP, 900 a year. That state, with
population of about 5000. 00u,is. pay
ing it's judges more than the United
States is paying its judges for admin
istering justice to more than 100000
600 people.
This situation, which is not con-
fined to the states mentioned, attracts
to the state bench men of the highest
talent and frequently operates to the
detriment of the Federal BENCH
The present salary of United States
District judges is $4,000 a year and of
Circuit judges $1,000 a year. The bill
would increase the minimum salary of
District Judges to $500 a year and
provide a graduated increase based on
the population of the district, $500 a
year being proposed for each 100000
of population in excess of the first
10000, with a maximum of $4,000
year. Circuit judges would receive
$1,000 a year more than the District
| judges, with the same provision of
increase up to $11, 1000 a year.

BISHOP PROTESTS.
AGAINST POGROMS

The Bishop of Cracow, the Munich
paIity, the Mayor, and other notables
of this second largest city in Galicia,
are being opposed by the police, ac-
cording to advices received by the
Provisional Zionist Committee, in
their efforts to put an end to the anti
Jewish riots which are of daily occur
renee. The police would not permit
the publication of a resolution adopt
ed by the Municipality condemning
these excuses for an appeal signed
by the Bishop and other leading citi-
zens. On the other hand, the anti
Semitic propaganda is not interfered
with.
The Jews have organized a self-de-
Tense corps which has acted in he
roic manner and has saved many Jew
ish homes and shops from pi1lage and
destruction,
On the day fixed for the celebration
of the annexation of Bessarabia by
Roumania, the Jewish deputatior
which was sent to participate in this
festiv4ty was insulted and maltreated
In Savren Podolia, Russia, the Jew
ish self-defense corps which sought tc
protect Jewish property from pillage
was overwhelmed by agang of riot
ers.

VIII Be Amusing

"Modernized" is the term that ade-
quately describes the production of
the Lamentable Tragedy of julius
cretarial Troupe at the Y. W. c. A.,
26S Golden Hill street, on Friday and
Saturday evenings of this week.
Language, costumes and accessor-
les have been pronounced by a pri-
vate board of censors as up to the
minute. Hooverism has led the troupe
to disregard the popular custom of
opera companies of orchestra ser
vices. The music, varied in charac-
ter and age, will be furnished by Miss
Grace Dudley, pianist. Improvisa-
tions by the artist enrich the musical
setting.
The cast is as follows: julius Caesar,
Miss Liela Warnes; Brutus, Miss
Dorothy Tomlinson; Mark Antony,
Miss Jeanette Kiskaddon; Octavius
Caesar, Miss Lena Sheldon; Mark
Lepidus, Mrs. Ethel Moore; Pindarus,
Miss Evelyn Johnson; Soothsayer,

cts may be secured at any of the as

plan RECEPTION
. FOR new PASTOR
OF THEIR CHURCH

On Friday evening Of this week, the
Washington Park M. E. church will
tender reception to their new pas
tor and his wife, DR.. and Mrs. Camp
bell. An interesting program, musi-
cal in nature, has been prepared, in
vitations have been issued to all
Nmembers and friends of the church,
pastors of the neighboring churches,
as well as pastors of other Methodist
churches in this vicinity have been
invited and are expected to be pres
ent and speak.
DR.. Campbell came to the Wash
ington Park church from the First
Church of Waterbury, having spent
two years in that pastorate. He
has been twenty-three years in the
ministry, entering the Baltimore
Conference in 1895, and serving sew
eral of the large churches in Balti-
more. He entered the New York
East Conference in 1910, as pastor
of the Tabernacle church in Brook
Ign, and has since served important
churches in New York city and
Brooklyn.
He is a man of pleasing personal
lily, strong, vigorous preacher, and
his sermons and public utterances
since coming to the Washington Park
church in April have disclosed very
happy blending of the spiritual and
patriotic themes, well suited to the
times, and instructive and inspiring
to his audiences
While in Waterbury he was retain
ed by the government in the Service
Department of the United States
Shipping Board, which is in charge
OF DR.. Eaton. In that service he has
visited the various ship yards on the
Atlantic coast addressing the men or
topics of patriotism and service. The
Official Board of the Washington
Park church has granted DR.. Camp
bell permission to continue this worE
during the summer and he is de-
voting himself intellectually to this
important service.
Members and friends of the church
are looking forward with pleasure tc

He quotes an unnamed French
general as saying that the American
spirit and enterprise at critical mo-
ment served to maintain the morale
of the French troops around Chateau
Thierry.
The correspondent predicts that
much will be heard of the deeds of
the Americans in the next few days,
and adds:
American troops fresh from the
United States continue to arrive with
regularity and in numbers more than
sufficient to justify renewed conf
dence in the ultimate triumph of the
Entente. The Americans at this mo-
| ment are distributed over a very
wide front, indeed.
"In some sectors entire American
divisions form one unit, holding q
certain extent of line, while else
where they are brigaded with French
and British regiments. In the Lune-
vile and Toul sectors the Americans
hold very difficult salients dominated

CLAIMS
HUN OFFENSIVE
IS NOT ENDED

Paris, June 6-The battle situation
is frankly satisfactory, says Havas
agency review today, and the enemy,
temporarily at least is not likely to
make attacks all along the front be-
tween Rheims and the Disc. Local at
tempts seem to indicate that the Ger
mans have renowned for the moment
their purpose to win a decision on the
battle field picked out by their COM
manders on May 27.
Nevertheless the newspapers do
not believe that the German offensive
is ended The Petit Partisan thinks
that Gen. Ludendorff is preparing a
blow which he expects will have pro-
digious results.

ULTIMATUM WAS
AGREEABLE TO
GERMAN HEADS
Emperor William Response
BILE for Teuton's Partici-
patton in War.
DETAILS GIVEN
BY DIR. MUEHLON
Former Krupp Director Re
lates Incident Following
Outbreak Of Conflict.

Gumligen, Switzerland, Wednes-
day, June Spy the Associated
Press)-Germany was wholly in
agreement with Austria Hungary
concerning the ultimatum sent to
Serbia at the outbreak of the war,
says DR.. Wilhelm Muehlon, former
director of Krupps, in further dis
closures on the responsibility for the
bringing on of the conflict. Emperor
William was personally responsible
for Germany's participation and fore
ed the German government to accept
the war.
DIR. Muehlon, who as director of
Krupps at the start of the war and
who recently startled Europe with
his disclosures, received the CORES
pondent of the Associated Press at his
country place here, where he is now
living in retirement. The visit came
as DR.. Muehlon was preparing to is
sue a more detailed review of condi-
tions leading to the war and the cor
respondent had the advantage of 60
ing over the document with the per-
sonal explanations of the author.
DIR. Muehlon's first disclosures,
which caused such commotion, gave
conversations with DR.. Karl Helf-
ferich, former vice chancellor, and
DIR. Krupp Won Bohlem, chief owner
of the Krupp works, in which both
told him the emperor had disclosed
his agreement with Austria-Hungary
on the ultimatum to Serbia and that
Germany would mobilize Immediately
if Russia momilized, which would
inevitably draw in the other powers
and precipitate a world war.
The whole trend of the present
work is to show that the world con-
fIict was imposed by the German
emperors personal military policy
and his private engagement with
Austria on the eve of the struggle.
DR.. Mueh1on gives further details
of his conference with DR.. Helfferich
Immediately preceding the war, in
which Helfferich told of the emper-
or's plans toward Austria and Russia.
Although Muehlon has been fiercely
attacked by the German government
and the reichtag his present version
is substantially unchanged.
The former krupp director relates
an incident following the outbreak OF
fthe war when the emperor required
i, all the German leaders to become in
voluntary supporters of his war pol
| icy. Assembling them as guests, the
emperor exclaimed suddenly:
Now, gentlemen, advance and, as
we grasp hands, promise me you viii
stand with me to the last breath
Commenting on this, DIR. Muehlor
says:
THE guests could hardly do 9TH
erwise when thus hidden by their i'm.
perfal host in his own castle to shake
hands with him and thus a vow wa:
extorted which would be of value
only if given freely"
Dr. MIehlon declares that the or.
der issued by the crown prince OF
Bavaria to the troops in Belgium
amounted to a command to give nc
quarter to prisoners. He adds:
81 have received letter from the
field which brings me the unheart
of information that the emperor ha.
himself said he had enough prison.
ers and has told his officers he hop.
ed they would take good care to make
no more prisoners. This news is quite
authentic"

He found the snipers, pointed them
out to his camrades and the Germans
fired no more.
The first American to receive the
French war cross for bravery in the
present battle was Lieut.. Walter R.
F1annery of Pittsburgh, who swan
across the Marine and rescued a
wounded French soldier. Lieut.. John
T. BisseI of Pittsburgh has been cited
for the French war. cross for leading
his machine gun command to the
north side of the Marine in an attempt
to stop the German attack.
An American machine gun battal-
ion accounted for approximately ], 900
Germans while holding a bridge at
fighting. The Americans lost only
one man killed and few wounded.
At the same time French troops
wiped out a force of three hundred
Germans who had obtained a footing
on the southern bank of the Marine.
While the Germans dominated the
town from hill 204 the Americans and
French set up machine guns in the
windows and doorways of houses.
Great fierceness marked the fighting,
which ragged for several days.
One officer told the correspondent
today that it was all the commanders
could do to keep the Americans from
crossing the river in the teeth of the
enemy fire and assaulting the hill po-
sition.
