La consecuencia mas importan-

contribuir eficazmente la unfit

la parte norte del Schlesvig, sinO
cue ahera la misma Prussia va a
absorber los Estados de Saionia,
Baviera, Wurtemberg, Baden, Hes

En- efecto, la perception y admi-
nSstraci6n de los tributos es unO
do los caracteres esenciales de La

menos importantes que los Munich

que los Ayuntamientos su inn

At the last meeting of the Devon Improvement association a conmu- nication from the Public Utilities Commission was read in reply to a formal protest of the zone fare sys- tenn made last week. The letter said the utilities commission would notify the association at later date just when a hearing could be granted the local organization relative to the in creased fare situation. The associa- ton favors a fiat rate of eight cents, an increase of S3 1-3 per cent.
 A report was also made at the meeting that the Connecticut com pany has had an inspector stationed at Devon during the last several days in connection with the zone system, and it Is rumored that the trolley service from Bridgeport to Devon is to be curtailed because of the great falling off in patronage.
 Plans for an open house are being made by the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Devon Hose company to be held at the fire house on Friday evening, Nov 21, in honor of the first anni- versary of the organization of the auxiliary. Elaborate preparations are already well under way, and the event promises to be one of the larg- est and most enjoyable ever given here.
 A committee including Thomas Kirkham and c. o. Mathews has been appointed by the Devon Inn provement association to confer with the officials of the New Haven road relative to the matter of having train from Bridgeport stop at Devon between 12 and 1 o'clock on Satur-
 days of each week, and also to have a train stop here at midnight each night, for the accommodation of a large number of Devonites who are now using the railroad for transpor- tation instead of the trolleys.
 The annual Red Cross roll call which is being conducted here under
 the auspices of the Milford branch of the American Legion is tagging, and at a meeting of the captains held at the D. A. R. chapter house last night. reports showed that only about one half of the towns quota of $2,200 had been received.

Northern Russians in fighting ths Bolshevfki. They depended too much on the Allies guidance and assistance.
 Upon the departure of the British all civil and military affairs were taken over exclusively by Russians The first fortnight that they have been thrown on their own resources has demonstrated that in this region they can not only hold the front but can develop initiative and move for ward where necessary.
 The conviction is growing that witt, the arrival of Serbian and Czecho- Slovak troops they will not only be able to defend the Northern district but will be able to give material as sistance on other Russian fronts.
