CITY HALE ACTIVITIES.
Elevator Men Get Financial Raise Workers to Have Usual Vacations

Feeling that there is a grave dan ger that enough coal to keep the City hall going during the winter months may not be secured if any time is wasted in getting in the SUD- ply the city hall commission has been busily engaged making arrange ments for securing fuel early, and al ready about onc-third of the neces- sary supply has been stored at the bins in the city hall. This coal was secured from one of the New Britain coal dealers and much trouble may be found in trying to secure the rest of 1t. This subject was discussed yesterday afternoon at the meeting of the city hall commission by Secretary William Dunn. Several other busi- ness matters were also transacted.
 For efficient services the pay of the two elevator men at the city hall was raised from $60 to $65 a month. Although the scarcity of help is be- ing felt by the commission this year a vote was taken yesterday to adhere to the practice of giving all the en- ployes under the control of the com mission their usual annual vacation of one week.
 Superintendent William H. Smiths office has been completed and will be occupied by him today. The office is directly opposite the council chamber.

BITTER ATTACK ON
 RUMANIAN PEACE
Socialist Speaker fin Reichstag Un- masks German Treaty As "Un-
 disguised Robbery"

Amsterdam, July GA bitter attack on the German peace with Rumania and militarism was made in the de- bate in the Reichstag Thursday by pr. Cohn, independent socialist, accord ing to the Rhenische Westfae aelische Zeitung of Essen.
 We reject the Rumanian treaty., he said. Like the Ukranian treaty it will not produce a real peace. The Rumanian Jews still lack rights. This treaty is nothing but bartering for petroleum and railways.
 "The treaty is nothing but dis guised, perhaps undisguised, rob- ery-".
 Here the president called on pr. Cohn to observe moderation in his remarks. After further criticisms pr. Cohn eXclaimed:
 Unless militarism is overcome we cannot obtain a lasting peace"

(From the Springfield Republican,
 In view of the fact that interven- tionists in the far east have ascribed General Semenoffs defeat to released Teuton prisoners, most of whom are anti-German Czecho-Slavaks, it is odd enough to hear that the soviets after their clash with the Czecho- -Slovak troops in European Russia have agreed to let them go by way of Vladi- yostok to enlist with the Allies pro- vided they will agree not to join Gen eral Semenoff.

Springfield Republican,
 Germany may be preparing to help the Bolsheviki, as a dispatch from Zurich asserts, but news from Zurich is likely to have a German twist, and 1t is not hard to see that Germany might have a motive for circulating such a report, in the hope that it might lead the Allies to make a false step in Russia. German troops have helped the anti Bolshevik forces, but officially Germany has been wary in the extreme about taking sides for or against any Russian party.
