ing from the city with a sum Of money
said 10 be about $4,000, most OF which he
borrowed from business acquaintances
On the strength OF representations that
ne was In a position to swing a lucra-
tive business deal. His wife is pros
trated at their home, No. 1922 West
street, but maintains that he did not
purposely disappear and that he had no
intention Of spproprlating the borrow
cd money She believes that he either
was murdered for the money. or that
his mind became unbalanced and that
he wandered away.
Belfer's creditors share the wife's be-
lief that the man did not embezzle the
money. They say that they have the
utmost confidence in his honesty, and
declare that he left enough stock in his
store to cover the loans made to him.
The local police were asked by At
tOrney General Reinhardt two weeks
ago TO locate Belfer who is wanted by
the State authorities on a charge OF
embezzlement.
Belfer came here six years ago from
Philadelphia.

Berlin Must Ask Foch.
For Term of Armistice. Res
toration Demanded.

With Germany's allies vanquished
and forced to accept terms of cessa-
ton of hostilities against them tan
tamount to absolute surrender, the
die is now cast in front Of the llohen-
zollern dinasty The enter-alled con
ference sitting in Versailles has
drawn up the terms under which
Germany may have peace and the in
dications are that these terms are no
less hard than those imposed upon
Austra-Hungary. Bulgaria and Turkey
Marshal Foch has the terms of
armistce for Germany and awaits APP
plication for them by the German
military command in the field.
The Government at Berlin is so in
formed in note which Secretary
Lansing handed to Minister Sulzer of
Switzerland, announcing that the
Allies have declared their willingness
to make peace on the principles en-
unciated by President Wilson. The
note now is on the cables. In twenty
four hours it should be in the hands
Of the Germans; in forty-eight hours
the world may know whether an inn
mediate end of the war is at hand.
Publication Of details Of the armis-
tice terms still is withheld. They
may not be made known until the
Germans have accepted or rejected
them, as the course followed by the
Allies in dealing with Bulgaria. Tur-
key and Austria. Only the details
are in doubt, however. and no one
questions that acceptance means alb
ject surrender.

the surf on rock-bound shore
The method of catching the grass
hoppers is in itself an interesting
proceeding. 1t is done by machine
consisting of two large sheet-iron
pieces sixteen feet long set parallel,
the back edges being much closer to-
gcther than IN front, and mounted on
low wheels which engage set Of
fans. Attached to the rear is a heavy
canvas bag. The trap is drawn over
the ground by two horses driven az
a gallop, and as the grasshoppers rise
from the ground they are caught be-
tween the metal blades and instantly
swept to the rear by a fierce air tor
rent. falling into the collecting re.
ceptable riveted to the rear of the
machine. But few escape, and a.
many as two bushels of the insects
have been harvested at one time from
a single acre of the fiat meadow lands
of that locality. The grasshoppers
thus captured are dumped into large
galvanized drums revolving slowly
over a furnace heated by charcoal,
where they are roasted crisp and
brown and afterwards ground fine BY
special machinery and mixed with
certain proportion of meat. grain and
bone. The composition is then sack
ed and stored for future use.

engaging manners of prosperous

turkey, according to Mr.. Poindexter.
is the most suitable known for human

WASHINGTON AFFAIRS
fSpecial to The Bulletin. )

Washington, D. C., Oct 1.-Senator Mclean of Connecticut made strong speech in the senate just before the suffrage amendment went down to de- feat on the final vote. BIr. Mclean talked less than ten minutes, but when
 he took his seat was warmly con graduated by senate leaders, who
 characterized his views as sound and
 logical" Mir, Mclean said in part
 that he had voted for every war measure that had come before con-
 gress but he could not agree with the
 president that the amendment then
 pending was a war measure. and was
 convinced that this resolution If
 adopted will impose on the women Of
 America new responsibilities Which
 they neither desire nor anticipate" MT.
 Mclean referred to the fact that the
 men by their physical force must win
 the war and that force remains the
 ultimate defense of all we hold most
 sacred. l think it is to the credit of this republic that sons have never
 declined to use the bayonet in the
 defense of their mothers and it is un
 thinkable that they will not in the future, as in the past, defend their mothers in peace as well as in war, with the ballot as well as the bayenet Women have the right and duty to vote on all questions affecting the education Of their children. This has | for many years been the law of the state of Connecticut, and the laws of
 my state give every preference to the wife, and have carefully guarded ev- cry property interest of the women. That is as it should be, but this reso- l lution goes farther and attempts to l tamper with the ballot box over which i Mother Manure has supreme control, 1 and such attempts have always ended
 and always will end in allure and mis- | fortune" Mir. Mclean referred to the vote of the only woman member of congress against war with Germany and while prais:ng the attitude of the woman congressman on it's womanll- ness, said he "shuddered to think what would have happened in case the 1 balance of power in congress had been in the hands of those who are so con stituted spiritually and physically that they could not vote for war under any
 circumstances. It is my belief that until wars cease justice to the Womer of this country demands that al
 questions involving declarations of wal
 and terms of peace should be left tC
 the sex that must do the fighting ant j the dying on the battlefield" IT
 closing, MT. Mclean said: ''Womer l nave Qone none Work ana made every
 sacrifice required. There is nothing il
 language that can adequately measure the value of their service in this war but if the value of the franchise i

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Suggestions for Preventing Influenza
 and Pneumonia.

MT. Editor: Have you room in your paper for 3. few suggestions as to the prevention of the influenza epidemic :?
 Just now when the doctors and nurses are crowded and overworked it is well for the country at large to take every precaution against influenza and grip and so prevent it settling into pneumonia.
 These simple remedies were used with wonderful results in the epidemic of la grippe" 25 or 30 years ago and also since the present influenza has been here.
 Shake a little common powdered sulphur into the boots every morning and take a small pinch on the tongue before going out among the people.
 On returning home, wash face and hands and disinfect nose and throat hy blowing the powdered sulphur into nostrils and throat. This is a good preventive
 If the disease shows signs of de- veloping, do not grow nervous, for that but adds to it's powers. Take at once lfor an adulN one teaspoon of sweet spirits of nitre in a tumbier of water; can be sWeetened with sugar for child and given in small doses. A seidlitz powder or salts to cleanse i stomach and bowels of the poison and also at once rub chest and back with | one tablespoon of lard and one tea
 spoon of kerosene or turpentine or
