PRESIDENT IS
 KEPT ADVISED OF CONFERENCES

London, Dec. 5-The substance of the discussions in London early this week between the representatives of Great Britain, France and Italy with regard to the coming peace confer ence, were cabled to the American government and it is believed the message reached President Wilson before he sailed for Europe yesterday thus putting him in possession of full information regarding the conference.
 Reuters Limited says there is req son to believe the Presidents advisers are of the opinion that the views of the conference regarding former Emperor William are likely to coin eide with those of the President him self. Responsible opinion, says this news agency, holds that the ex- emperor and other persons guilty of the breaches of international law dur ing the progress of the war should be dealt with by tribunal Of the asso- ciated governments, including repre- sentatives of those countries which suffered most

URGES AGAINST !. 5, ENTERING
 INTO BOYCOTT
James A. Farrell Speaks Strongly on Subject Before
 Reconstruction Congress.
HUNS MUST SELL
 TO CANCEL DEBTS
Hatred and Bitterness Would Be Enhanced By
 Boycotting Any Nation.

Atlantic City, N. J., Dec. 5-Possi- bility of perpetuating in the domain of commerce, the hatred and bitter ness engendered by the war, will be greatly lessened if the United States refuses to be drawn into any agree ment or understanding that would make her a party to a boycott of the commerce of any of the nations that have been arrayed against each other, was a declaration contained in an ad- dress prepared by James A. Farrell, of New York, and read in his absence to the reconstruction congress here to- day. MT. FarrelPs paper was devoted to a review of the foreign trade situa- tion.
 Tt is certain that if Germany is compelled, as she ought to be, to re- l pay the wanton destruction she has wrought in Belgium, northern France, Poland and Servia, she must 1 have access to the raw materials of manufacture by conversion of which ! into finished products she may earn i the money necessary to pay her i debts.
 "As a matter of fact, given the l frank acceptance by Germany of the terms of peace which will be dictated ] by the Allies, thore can be no reason l for separating her economic wants 1 from those of the rest of Europe.
 These will be sufficiently imperative | to use up all the surplus foodstuffs
 and raw materials that can be spared 1 for many months to come"
 1 Referring to foreign trade gener- ally Mir Farrell said:
 There can be no great revival of trade in the countries where we hope for it most, unless we are ready to provide capital for their operation Industrial creed for the four parties to industry---capital, management, la bor and the community, was outlined by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. It includ- ed advancement, by industry, of so-

STRIKING CAR MEN IN CLEVELAND TO RETURN TO WORK Will Lift Tie Up of Trolleys Probably Return to Work
 This Afternoon. MAKE AGREEMENT
 WITH COMPANY Succeed in Getting the Dis charge of the Women
 Workers.

Cleveland, Dec. 5-The 2,400 street car men who went on strike last Tues day because of the employment of wo- men conductors and resulting in a complete tie up of trolIeys, probably will return to work late this after noon. The strikers will assemble this afternoon to vote on terms that their union leaders have accepted for them.
 Though there may be some hitch in the settlement at the last moment, both sides believe that the trouble is ended. The women conductors are to be eliminated from the street car ser vice not later than March 1. That is the proposition union leaders will en- dorse to the strikers and 1t was evolv- ed at conference of all interested parties in the mayors office today.
 An alternative proposition that grew out of the all night city council meet ing that also will go before the strik- CTS, but without endorsement of the union leaders, is a council resolution putting the city behind a pledge to the car men that if they would return imm ediately to work the city would aim to secure the removal of the wo- men conductors not later than Jan- uary 3.
 An agreement was reached this morning whereby W. D. Mahon, president of the International Union of Street Car Employees and the ex- ecutives of the Cleveland union, will recommend to the men that they vote on returning to work. This meeting of men Is to be held later this morning.
 The agreement that may mean the calling off of the strike was reached 1 after the city council had adopted
 resolution pledging itself to see | that the men were given the Square deaT' promised by John J. Stanley | president of the Cleveland Railway | Co.,, under the recommendation Ot i the war labor board that women be 1 discharged by January 8. MT i Stanley agreed to abide by the reso- | iution.

 conductors also agreed to abide b1 any decision with the men MT. Stan | ley may make. The women vii

 Teddy is only one. There are so many others who need a mother just now!
 Are there not many women in the state lonely, perhaps, for their own youngsters who have all grown up and left home, some of them, perhaps, to go into the service of their coun- try? Of others who have known the keenness of loss in their own or a friends home, and for that reason can appreciate the need of these youngsters?
 The Connecticut Children's Aid Society, Brown-Thomson Building, Hartford, will be glad to hear from anyone who would consider taking one of these little ones.
