OF POLICY IN RUSSIA

Murder of Marshal Won Eichhorn
Proof OF AntaSonism TO Invaders
Poiicy--Think North Country Can
BE Welded to Conqncror.

Washington. Aug. 2.--Leading Ger
man papers have seized upon the as
sassinatiou of Marshal Won Eichhorn
as evidence that Germany's policy
in Russia is highly dangerous to the
successful prosecution OF the war
Comments OF all papers clearly lndl-
cate that the increasing antagonism
displayed against the German repre-
sentatives in Russia has caused feel
ing of nervousness and doubt IN the
minds OF many leaders who beiieFe
that Russia could be easily welded TO
the imperial desires of her con-
querors.
The Berliner> Tageblatt says:
The news that has come through
up to the present time indicates that
the instigators of the crime must be
sought among the socialist revelu-
tionists whose synpathies Tor the
entente are we'll known.
From the evidence at hand 1t
would appear that the murderers pc
longed TO the Ukranaian patriotic
party lighting the government of
skoropadsky that attained power
under our protection, but who have
written on their standard the cry

tagonism which is spreading among
the numerous classes of the popuia =
ton. This crime shows how difficult
II is to guaEe the movement"
The Lokal Anzelger states that the
field marshal was struck down be-
cause he wished to esta blish order and
right in Ukraine, ana adds that the
blow came from the party which al
ready bears the responsibility for the
death of Count Mirbach.
The Vorwaerts states that the in
formation at hand indicates that the
reasons for the new crime should be
sought in Moscow, and then states:
The death OF Marshal Won Efeh-
horn appears to create fresh difficult
ties with Russia. Thus the NTH year
of the war begins under gray and
gloomy auspices, especially in the east
where peace has already been con-
cluded."
The Hamburger Fremenbiatt states
+ that advices from Kief show that the
political horizon Is very gloomy In
, Ukraine; that the government is try.
ing TO forestall all uprisings by carry
ing out arrests en- masse, among those
arrested being the chief secretary Of
the government OF the Hetman. firm
supporter of the monarchy.

TIP TO SHERIFF s4,soo
Surprising Liberality of Goodyear Mil,
 Hand, Picked Up Drunk.

How much money would you expect to find in the pockets of a drunken man. lying beside the road You night guess right in some cases and wrong in others-pro bably wrong in the case Of 8 man whom Deputy Sheriff Chag F. Aver picked up from beside the highway in the northern part of the town, after havmg received a tele- phone message from a resident in the vicinity, asking that the man be taken away.
 When Sheriff Aver aroused the man foreigner with rich dialect, the be arrested and pleaded not to be sent to jail "aie gotta de noneey," - he said "and me wanta go home.'
 And thereupon he reached into his pocket and forced some money upon the sheriff. whose chief concern at that time was to find out where the man lived and to get him there,
 Sheriff Aver eventually ascertained that the man lived in Goodyear. and he took the fellow there in his car After getting him safely home the sheriff proceeded to give the man back his money. and was astounded on ex.. amining 8 small roll of bills to find that the drunk had passed him out 6 total of $4s00. as q little tip intend- ed to save him from going to jail.
 The man is a mill hand. The yo,lng fortune that he was teting around may be only small change for him, but the chances are. after ieo- lures he has received. that he will not do it any more.

BOROUGH TO FALL DOWN.
Not # Red cross Hustlins canvassers
 Can PreventI


 That there must be some tall hust- ling to put the Danielson district over the top in the drive for $5,000 for the Red Cross was indicated Friday, when the report of Thursdays sub- scripticns was given out and showed that they were less than $300 Instead Of discouraging the workers, however, this bad faliing-of encouraged them to go cut and dig in even harder in their efforts to ring loose enough money to bring this district into the honor list of towns of the state. Danielson can- not afford to go on record as failing to meet the standard set for it by the state organization. Other Windham county districts are making records to De proud of and it is up to this district to do likewise.
 At least $1.500 remained to be raised when the workers went at their task Friday morning and they realized that this sum will not be obtained unless everyone is asked to give does give and give literally.

BENEFIT CONCERT.
Planned By Art Club to Help Maintain
 French Orphan.

That they may be enabled to carry out the rnerciful project of maintain ing French orphan. the members of the Ladies Art club of Danieison have arranged a concert to be given at the Congregational church by Miss Ethel Frank. 3, soloist with the Boston Opera company

A.75shurnway stated Friday morn iHs that 10 cents a day, in addition to what is allowed by the French gov erH1lent, is sufficient to make it pos sible for a widowed French mother to remain with her child. For a year the club has supported one orphan and now intends to take on another one. To tatll end the concert has been ar ranged and everyone who attends will be helping to keep with it's mother sonle little child whose father has giv- efe his life {irhting for the ideals for which hundreds Of thousands of Amer scan hoys arc fighting now.
 Grave Like Space at Park Mystery.
 4 little cross. neatly fashioned from moss. on grave like space from which the turf has been cut away on Davis park was exciting the curiosity of officials here Friday.
 And the rather creepy fascination that the mysterious layout held for those who knew about it was height ened by the report that came to Chief Michael Gr.mshaw that woman has been seen. very late at night and very early 11 the morning. hneelirg at the spot in an attitude of prayer.
 Whether the cross mark the resting place of some infant CT whether the . -f, by I deranged mind was subject for speeulation in official circles Friday and will lead to an investigation ex- pected to bring some interesting re- suits
 A few years ago Danie1sop. and otll- CT parts of the town Of Killingly had 2, mystery for a time, for crosses were being cut in trees along main high ways. The man who cut them was cap tured in due time and found to be nnerFaIly unsound
 It is believed that mental derange- ment Of some person may account for the strange sF'ave-aike spot that has some to light at the park, and further developments relative to it may be ex- pected. The cross has been made at g. point on the Reynolds street side of1 the .pari, and not distant from the fau}2tai12, opposite the Congregational church.

 Two Men Leave at Last Minute
 With Contingent For Camp Upton.
 Early Friday afternoon Putnam had passed the s1o,000 mark in subscrip- tions to the Red Cross fund, the exact ngures as given out by G. Harold sGil- patric being $10,442.70, or just under SS.O0U more than the districts quota.
 By tonight the grand total will have climbed much nearer to the s15,oe0 mark, but how near to that figure the district will finally come remained q matter or conjecture on Friday
 Up in Thompson the workers were setung great results, and the people or the villages of that one. town had subscribed $3,000 up to Friday.
 Today will be cleanup day and a final rapid campaign will be conduct ca to get in all the subscriptions that are available. but have not been re- ceived and to corral any loose dollars that may be avai1able to show the lighting men that the people at home are backing them Up right properly.
 The Putnam district has made a great record in this drive and the more money that can be obtained the more will be the honor of the towns of the district when final reports are made to the state organization.

 Boys Oversee Are Lucky.
 It. has been remarked that Putnam IS one of the lucky towns So far as it's young men who are on the west ern front figuring in the casualty lists are concerned. Putnam has many young men lever there" but to date those who have gone out with the American forces have escaped i,-5tirv: The majority of Putnams youy.g men are in regular army regiments.

 Recommendations were sent out to Hartford Friday by the local board for men to be appointed to assist in the registration work that will go on here June 5. The registration will be in the su- perior- court room, and young men will have fourteen hours in which to register, from ' a. m. to D. m.
