into numerous deer beds where the
deer had crouched the previous night.
Some oak trees also bore signs of having
been ~clainhcred by hears in quest OF
acorns, the marks of their claws being
visible in the bark.
Az we opened a glade of this sheltered
meadow. we beheld several deer bounding

In the course of our march We struck

beautiful basin bordere,I by a fine stream,
and shaded by clumps OF lofty AXIS.

MAILPLANES MAY
 STOP IN THIS CITY
New Britain Considered As Sta-
 tion by P. 0. Department

There is every reason to believe that New Britain will eventually be chosen as an intermediate airplane mail sta ton in the event the present Washing ton-New York route demonstrates the practica bility of transporting mail by airplane. Should the route between New York and Boston, which was successfully demonstrated recently, be adopted, it will probably be neces- sary to decide upon some stopping place approximately half way between the two points. Inasmuch as New Britain is geographically in the center of the state and would be a desirable local point for the trans shipment of mail, l.. A. Sprague, secretary of the local Chamber of Commerce, commu- nlcated with Congressman Lonergan. asking him to present the matter to the proper auth critics in Washingto The movement was started only about two weeks ago and communications received since then are encouraging.
 Congressman Lonergan took the matter up with Otto Praeger, second assistant postmast general, who stated in a communication the follow ing:
 Tt has not been definitely decided to extend the airplane service to Boston. Shall be glad, however, to give consideration to New Britain as an intermediate or emergency field in the event the present Washington New York route demonstrates the practica bility of transporting mail by airplane and it is found advisable to extend the service to other points,
 In the last communication received by MT. Sprague from Congressman Lonergan, the latter stated that he will do all he can to assist the New Britain Chamber Of Commerce in the matter of securing New Britain as an intermediate stop. Secretary Sprague is watching for every opportunity pos sible to place New Britain in line with other large cities, and asks the CO., operation of all persons interested in the welfare of the community.

Even in the German press there
seems to be little hope that the allies
will agree to meet representatives of
the central powers. The newspapers
OF Berlin point out that similar steps
by Germany and Austria have failed
in the past and that while the people
will no doubt be hopeful for cessa-

In extending an invitation to all the
belligerent governments to enter into
nonbinding discussions at some neut-
raj meeting place, the Austro-Hungar-
ian government stated that the object
of the conference would be to secure
an exchange Of views which would
show whether those prerequisites
exist which would make the speedy

The text of the official communica-

assuredly may he deduced from the
utterances of responsible statesmen
that the desire to reach an under stand
