STAMFORD
CSpeciaI to The Tlmes.l

stratford. March 26-Corpora1 c. Allan Wilson, son of Mrs. George Wilson of Main street, who is con nected with the signal section of the Aviation Division of the army now stationed at MineoIa, L. l., is spend ing a weeks furlough in Stratford He has seen a number of months service in France and when sent back to the United States expected to be among. those discharged but in stead he was among those kept to straighten out the camp. He says that men of all different caIIings were among those retained at this camp and at present they are at work doing labor that is entirely different from what any of them have done during the past few months.
 Corporal Wilson stated yesterday that he met Allen BeardsIey, C'Toots'D, shortly after the battle of Chateau Thierry. and that he was looking very well, although he had been in the thick of the fight for a number of days Speaking of
 
 'Toots'' had made a record for him self as a fighter and had done his bit with credit to himself, his family and to old Stratford.
 While Corporal Wilson is giving much credit for the work done by his fellow townsman, Allen Boards ley, from what is known of the work done by Wilson, Stratford has an- other soldier to be very proud of.
 Corporal Wilson while in France at the time of the fighting at Chatieu Thierry, the Argonne Forest and the other big battles spent many hours, some of them being weary ones, in flashing. signals to different parts of the field and in the taking of mess. ages from the men high in the air in the Allied aeroplanes. By his good work he was made corporal and if the war had continued would un- doubtedIy have risen much higher in the ranks.
 Widening Stratford Avenue. Fsditor of The Times:
 In regard to widening Baruur1 ave nue at the corner of Main street there are citizens who claim the sclth side of BarnUTn avenue on the corner should be as wide as che north side. that a curb and walk should be laid as there is room for more houses to be built on that side of the street.
 If this corner is to be another Fair field avenue of Bridgeport, as so many claim. now is the time to do it and lay walk to meet the walk on North Main street. It is common knowledge that the original deed of this square called for one rod, and it is within the memory of some when a former owner of property he moved this fence 15 feet towards Barnum avenue. This is the side of the street and the Iog!- cal side that should have been widen ed
 If the present officials had been in charge of the affairs of the town at the time the Connecticut Co. were laying their tracks, no doubt the trolley company would have been obliged to buy up the land and widen on that side

"In the last five raids made here,
in which dope to exceed in value
$1,000 was taken, every bottle seized
by the officers has borne the label
of the Mallinckrodt Chemical Works
of St. LOUIS said United States
Commissioner R. D. Nicely last
night. ->e
Each of the last six bot
ties seized bear the govern
ment revenue stamp. That be-
trays the fact that there is either a
leak in the federal revenue office or
some licensed dealer is violating the
law and sooner or later will have to
report robbery

Franks, Graham and Eberstein.
Omaha daily bee., 1919-04-18

Each bottle contained one-eighth of
an ounce and each bore the label of
the Mallinckrodt Chemical Works.
Van Hoesen was charged with vio-
lation of the Harrison drug act, His
case will be tried in federal court.
In the opinion of John Gillin, rev.
enue agent for this district, the dope
habit is on the ascendency. 1T is
as prevalent in proportion in Dundee
as in the third ward" he said.
To prosecute a man under the
Harrison drug act before the amend
ment of March IA. it was necessary
to prove that he had sold quantity
of dope. Since the amendment took
effect. it is necessary to prove only
that the accused had possession Of
the dope.
According to Detective Fritz
Franks, Van Hoesen is also guilty
of the sale of one of the six bottles

Wilson and Premiers viii
Deliver Treaty to Germans

Paris, April 17.-(By Associated
Press.)-The procedure on the ar
rival of the German plenipotentiaries
at Versailles has virtually been de-
cided upon. 1t will be President
Wilson and the premiers who will
hold the first meeting and deliver
the treaty as it is not deemed feas-
ible to have all the allied powers
attend this initial session.
The actual arrival of the Germans
at Versailles, it is stated. is sched-
uled for Friday night, April Is, but
the meeting with the president and
premiers will not be held until Sat-
urday and may even be deferred
until Monday.
Allow Time for Inquiries. n
After the treaty is actually de-
livered, it is intended to allow ade-
quate time for the Germans to ,naks
inquiries concerning the various de-
tails before returning o'Weimar.
This is expected to take about two
days, the first day being devoted by
the Germans to fafniiiarizing Them
selves with the terms, and the sec.
ond day to answering such queries
as they may make.
There is no purpose to have this
assume the character of a discus
sion, but merely the elucidation OF
any points which may assist in OBJ
tanning prompt and favorable action
when the pienipotentiaries return to-
Weimar.
1t is believed the stay of the plen-
ipotentiaries at Weimar will cover
a week, thus bringing them back to
Versailles about May 8 to 10. This,
however, is conjectural, for it is
dependent upon the rapidity of the
decisions reached at Weimar.
Alliance Indicated.
Premier Lloyd Georges declara-
ton in the British parliament, that
France had been given full guar
antees against a renewal of German
attacks is the first authoritative
statement that such guarantees
have been given and arodses the
keenest discussion regarding the ma
ture of the guarantees as affecting
the United States and Great Britain.
The French rep >rts say that the
guarantees amount to an alliance, (
and the semi-official Temps says:
Premier Lloyd Georges language
admits Of only one meaning. This
is that Great Britain and the United
States engage to sustain France in
case she is again attacked by Ger
many. Such an alliance is legiti-
mate and necessary. Mr.. Lloyd
George would not pronounce such
words lightly, and his announce
meut is singularly instructive"
The council of four, which framed
the guarantees as part of the Rhine
settlement, has thus far maintained
rigid silence except for the gen
eral declaration Of Mr.. Lloyd
George.
