Berlin Socialists Told That Martial Law Still Pre-
 vails in City.

Berlin, Friday, July 1S-(By A. P.) -Reminding the socialists of both factions that martial law still pre- vails in Berlin, Gustav Noske, the minister of defense, points out that the holding of open air meetings and parades within the limits of greater Berlin will not be permitted during the next month The reminder was drawn out in part by the fact that the majority socialists in opposition to the strike movements have urged the members of their party to hold demonstrations after working hours.
 Herr Noske's restrictions have call ed fur ther strong protest from the independent socialists who are plan ming to call a general strike on Mon day next. They now are fathering proposition for demonstration against the German government in addition to the international nlani- fes.ation in furtherance of which the July 21 strikes have been proposed.
 The working men of Hamburg have declared a general strike for Mon day.
 Dispatches from Vienna state that a. general strike has been declared for July 21, the day set for demon strative labor movements in other countries "as a demonstration of the international solidarity of labor"

to point out to him the wisdom of King withdrawing his opposition to everybody that the Roraback wing of the party is bringing forward for the Gubernatorial nomination. Hays will be asked to use his influence upon King and bring peace in the party
 Kings friends argue that he will accept no peace terms that means that the Roraback wing or as King terms them, the upstate alliance, continuing their dictorial policy. Hays is such a close friend of King and he reposes so much confidence in the Bridgeport mans management of po- litical affairs that it is likely that Hays will tell the upstate crowd that he will keep his hands entirely off of Republican affairs in the state. Hays is going to get off the national committee soon anyway, and this is further reason why he will not med de in Connecticut matters.
 Much comment was expressed to- day that John T. King was not with the big political lights over at the State game farm Thursday. Gossip has it that when Supt. Champion ar ranged the eight course dinner for the governor and the state officers, that the list of guests be asked was first submitted to one of the leaders in accordance with the English style and that if Kings name appeared on the list 1t was promptly crossed off.
 William K. Nolan of Bridgeport. the president of the Fish and Game commission is a close friend of King. MT. King was not at the dinper. it was learned, for while the governor and the other politicians were dining at Madison, John T. was dining at. the Belmont in New York, with some of his able lieutenants who brought him reports from Connecticut as to the spread of the boom for Gen. Leon ard Wood, for the nomination for the presidency.

After the deIuge and Noah's plant ing of g vineyard references to wine be came so frequent in the old Testa- ment that it is evident that alcohol became popular with ths peoples Of that bygone age. Lot drank himself into 9 sodden state; Isaac drank wine with the savory meat that Jacob brought him.
 But perhaps the most dramatic men ton of the grape is that found in the Book of Numbers, when the period of the wandering through the desert was drawing to q close.
 Moses sent 12 spies ahead to find out the kind Of land it was that they were nearing. They wandered widely and that which most appealed to them was the great size of the grape clus- ters that they found. They cut of one of the branches and two Of the men 5ore it between tiem.

KING MEN NOW AGAINST MAJOR BROOKS Republican Machine to Ask Chairman Hays To
 Intercede. DEADLOCK LOOMS
 UP IN THE STATE No Chance to Unite Rora back and Warner
 Factions.

New Haven July 19 - With the Roraback branch of the Republican party pulling one way and the King faction another way, deadlock is looming up in this state in the mat ter of picking a candidate for gover- nor. The two factions cannot agree upon any one and the solution of who will be the candidate of the Re publicans for governorship will mean a bitter fight in the next Republican state convention. That the situation with the Republicans is getting worse instead of healing up is evidenced in the announcement made today that the Roraback machine in an attempt to meet the King demands had sug- gested as the candidate for the gov ernorship, Major John N. Brooks, who was Senate chairman of the committee on banks in the last ses- sion and a Litchfield county man. It was thought by the Roraback crowd that Major Brooks would satisfy the King element because in the 1917 session he stood for Col. Hank" and the Kinsites are quick to see that ate. Hall was a King man. He didn't get the election.
 The King element having been sounded on Brooks have made 1t known that 1t won't stand for Major Brooks. Judge Donald T. Warner is out of the race altogether unless he runs independent of the Roraback support. The old political fued of more than 30 years standing in Litch- field County has not been healed up sufficiently for the Wagner Roraback elements to get together it is said With no chances of putting Judge Warner over the upstate politicians have trotted out Major Brooks, but Brooks won't go, it is found, after running the first heat.
 The Republicans are in a nice fix over finding somebody to run, who will be agreeable to the Kipg faction. There is talk of Speaker James J. Walsh of Greenwich, making the run anyway in spite of the King faction and the Kingites are uick to see that the State machine is up against it and they are talking of presenting the name of Clifford B. Wilson to the State convention. Unless some sort of a compromise is reached there is every prospect of one of the biggest fights that a Republican State con- vention has ever witnessed in Con- aecticut. It is suggested today that possibly one of the reasons for the
 ,p-State machine in inviting Chair
 nan Hays to this State is to show ! lim the situation at close range and

 Several Hebrew words are translat- ed as wine" in the English version of the Old Testament and there have been various interpT Tetations placed upon them. In many cases it Is prob able that the wine" was not intoxi- eating and was what we know as un- fermented grape juice. The most com
 mon of these Hebrew words is "yayin," which is found nearly 150 times in the Old Testament. It was "yayin" that Noah drank, and as it is explicitly stated that it made the builder of the ark drunken, it is evident that ''yayin" was intoxicating. Lot also drank 'yayin."

alright. At the last it biteth like ser- pent, and stiugeth like an adder" Here, to2, the Hebrew word Is "yayin. :" But it was also "yayin" that Jacob drank. and Melchizedek gave bread and 'yayin' to Abraham.
 Sometimes the Old Testament writ CTS speak of another intoxicatins liquor that is translated as strong drink" This is always the same word in the Hebrew, and it is appar- ently something quite different from "yayin." Commentators have differed as to the exact meaning of the word and it has been inferred that 1t may have been wine made from dates, or from pomegranates, or that it was q beer made from barley.
 Of the other Hebrew words besides "yayin' that have been translated as wine. the most common is "tirosh." :" This occurs 8 times. "Tisosh" apparently means wine that is new and it has been reasonably inferred that 1t was what we call grape juice. )r Voyage.

 The unusually interesting series of Illustrated lecture-sernOus will be continued at o'clock in the evening, when the pastor will give the lecture entitled ''Lightnin' ''. This play brings up the old question, Can a drunkard reform? and answers it in a vivid manner, carrying the listener through a home almost wrecked, the divorce court, and the struggle of a tempted man to make good. The play is in tensely human and carries with it a big message. There will be hearty congregational singing of gospel hymns. The, Sabbath school meets at 12, with coihbined classes.
