HAUX MAKES GREAT RECORD
 AT EXHIBITION

One of the greatest records that has ever been set by any poultry ex- hibitfon in this vicinity was establish ed at the recent Bridgeport Poultry show. when George A. HauX, Of 2124 North avenue, entered 25 birds in the contest and captured 25 prizes. The local mans exhibit of pigeons and pheasants was one of the most talked of exhibits in the show, and had but little difficulty in being awarded the ribbons.
 MT. Haux's birds ook first and spe- ciaI prize for the best pigeon in the show, all breeds competing, first prize on Golden Pheasant cock, first prize on Golden Pheasant hen, first prize on Black Jacobin hen, second and third prizes on Black Jacob;n cocks two first and two second prizes on SpangIed Ice pigeons, two first prizes on Dark Bronze archangels, all prizes on White fantails except one and special prize for the best dis play.
 The Blue FantaiI cock owned by Hau" which captured first and spec ial prize for the best bird in the show is undoubtedly the finest of it's breed in America, and won first place in the Palace show in New York, where it competed with 300 of thI best fantaiIs in the country. All of tne birds exhibited by Haux at the local show have won first and special prizes at all the leading poultry shows including these at the New York Palace, Buffalo, N. Y; St. Louis, Mo; Louisville, Ky; HagerstOwn, Md; Wakefield, and Boston, Mass.
 George A. Haux is recognized as one of the leading poultry fanciers of the United States, and his North avenue pens have been visited by the foremost poultry experts of the coun- try MT. Haux formerly took an act i've interest in the breeding of thor oughbred Collie dogs, and his kennels attracted as much attention as his poultry is doing at the present time.

N0 ACTION ON MEXICO, WILSON
 WRITES LETTER
rContfnued From Page one.1

Thank you very much for your kind promptness in complying with my request that you send me copy of the memorandum report of the sub committee on Mexican affairs of the committee on foreign affairs. I shall examine it with the greatest in terest and care. What you told me of the investigation, on Friday last prepares me to find in it matter ot the greatest importance.
 You ask an indication of my de- sire with regard to the pending reso- lution to which you and Senator Hitchcock called my attention on Fri day, and I am glad to reply with the utmost frankness that l should be gravely concerned to see any such resolution pass the congress It would constitute reversal of our con- stituionaI practice which might lead to very grave confusion in regard to the guidance of our foreign affairs. l am confident that l am supported by every competent constitutional au- thority in the statement that the in itiative in directign the relations of our government with foreign govern mentS is assigned by the constitution to the executive and to the executive only.
 ''Only one of the two houses of con gress is associated with the Presi, dent by the constitution in an ad- visory capacity and the advice of the Senate is provided for only when sought by the executive in regard to explicit agreements with foreign gov ernments and the appointment of the diplomatic representatives who are 10 speak for this government at for eign capitals. The only safe course, I am confident, is adhere to the pre- scribed method of the constitution. We might go very far afield if we departed from it.
 q am very much obliged to you for having given me the opportunity to express this opinion.
 ''Very truly yours,

 "CASUS BEL-LE''
Deputy From Alsace-Lor- raine Reads Declaration
 of His Colleagues.

Paris, Dec. S-Jean Francois, youngest member of the Chamber of Deputies, from Alsace Lorraine. born in 1894 in NIoseue, will read the de cIaratiOn of the AIsatian deputies to the French chamber today. Twenty four deputies from the retrieved pro- vinces met yesterday afternoon, decid- ed upon the terms of their declara- ton, and elected Francois as their spokesman.
 The Germans have not renOunced AIsace Lorraine,'' the declaration will say. ''The decision of the people against Germany has not reconciled the Germans to the loss of the two provinces. Germany does not under stand the verdict of the election of November 16 last
 By every artifice, Germany has tried 10 falsify that vote. For ten months past, she has been flooding the retrived provinces with so-called autonomist literature. The nation of ,EageTs has one sentimental romance the possession of Alsace is now, as ever a 'casus belf.''
 "Germany never dared and cannot see a referendum in her subjected provinces. France obtained Unani- unity of the votes at the elections which constituted a true plebeseite, on November 16. In virtue of the now universally recognized rights of peo. pies to dispose of themselves, Ger many can never again by any title re- claim the territory she held only by obsolete right of conquest"
 Premier Clemenceau, the last survi- vor of the national assembly of Bor- deaux, which sat in 1871, will reply to the declaration.

 At the time the increase in fare, five to six cents in 1917. MT. Storrs said. the company promised that an exhaustive study would be made ot the situation before any further in- crease was forthcoming.
 The survey showed that another flat rate would merely make matters worse. He said the zone system fin ally adopted was exactly what Oppcn- ents of the six cent fare had suggest ed in 1917- The first year of the six cent plan brought very little none tary increase, he said, but he was sure that he five cent rate would have shown even worse results He told of the difficulty of operation of the lines dur. .ng the war and the de- crease in efficiency due to frequent labor turnover High wages during the war days gave many people the chance to buy cheap automobiles thus cutting down the number of car rid CTS.
 He spoke of Connecticut and one other state as beng the only com Inonwealths to allow the jitney free rein in competing with the trolley lines.
 President Storrs said rate of two cents a mile had seemed necessary to the company's experts in the cOngest- ed areas of cities to make the com pany a going concern. He said that two and half cents was the rate per mile fixed for the rural lines. He said there was 10 line in the country which did not have the two and a half cent rate or more for rural com muters.

DOUGHBoYs AND GENERALS.

THAT pleasant little fiction that the returned soldiers are clamoring for General Wood for president has foundation in act Those who have talked much with the young veterans will know that they have nothing against General Wood and nothing for him. He did not fight with them General Edwards did; he contributed service of marked than ordinarily effective nature.
 But the douehboys have something against any and every attempt to put generals into control of the civil power They do not want mtarisn in the United States They saw too much of nilitarism abroad.
 They submitted to discipline to the sharp order, and country but peace they do not desire to encourage those ideals.
 is in these tnes not good to entrust the highest civil power minds unduly possessed with the ideal force.

 In agreeing Saturday to urge upon the miners representatives acceptance of the presidents proposals. John L. Lewis, acting president of the United Mine Workers of America, was said to have frankly informed Attorney General Palmer of the difficulties he was having in view of the feeling created among the miners by the in junction proceedings and the general attitude of the government.
 Lewis was said to have expressed willingness to attempt to change this feeling if given assistance from re- sponsible government officials in dealing with the men.
 MT. Palmer, Assistant Attorney General Ames, who instituted pro- ceedings against the union officials at Indianapolis, and Lewis and William Green, secretary of the miners union, are to arrive at Indianapolis today, where tomorrow the union officers will lay the Presidents proposals be- fore the executive and scale com mittees of the workers.

 Great Britain which he declares will grow out of com mercial rivalry The hope is father to the wish. For Britain It is probable that will during the hundred years to On the contrary to most thought fu men the signs point to closer understanding if not to positive alliance But thing stands in the way of complete rapprochement with Great Britain; the Irish question: which will be settled, not by the old fashioned advocates of impossible violence but by the British Labor party, which will be powerful enough to ha1monize the ancient quarrel between the two islands.
