Edward Schultz Fined $50 and Costs
For Indecent Actions On
Strect-Other Cases.

A fine of $50 and costs was imposed
this morning by Judge James L. Mes
kill upon Edward Schultz, %, for in
decent exposure. Schultz was arrested

small girls up West Main street and
was acting improperly. 1t was stated
this morning by Sergeant Richardson,
who made the investigation of the
complaint, that Schultz has been
guilty of such actions on several oc-
casions previous to yesterday.
Attorney William F. Mangan APP
peared for the accused and asked
that the minimum fine be imposed
because of his past good record. This
was the first appearance OF the young
maa in court. Judge Meskil was
disDosed to think the charges too
serious for the minimum fine and I'M
posed the maximum, $50.

President Wilson had approved the
conditions of the new armistice."
Detailing futile efforts to obtain
amelioration of the conditions Err
berger said that Marshal Foch had
merely promised to try to intervene
with the inter-allied commission for
the protection of the Germans in the
eastern provinces, in accordance with
the views that ErZberger presented
He said that Marshal Foch had de-
clared that the first article of the new
agreement was a purely military
measure and would have no political
effects
Erzberger it Is stated, reported that
he regretted being unsuccessful in
obtaining any definite promise for the
release of German prisoners although
Marshal F'och expressed his willing
ness to submit the plea to the su-
preme war council of the Allies Aft
err saying that he signed the agree
ment in accordance with the govern
ment's instructions, after handing to
the marshal note of protest, Erzber-
ger said:
This is the message little crafty
ing in itself which L have had to
bring. The world knows Germany
does not wish and is unable to con-
duct a fresh war but, though it is
possible to render us defenseless, we
must not be made honorless."
Konstantine Fehrenbach, the pres
ident of the national assembly said
the members of that body were i'm
pressed with the painful nature of
negotiations Mt Trevcs and added:
''The entire German nation is full
of apprehension OF this agreement
and its results"

Yankee Division Not Coming
Home for Several Months March

New Haven, Feb. 1S.-Gen. Peyton
{. March sent q keen shock of dis
appointment down the spines of thou
sands Of relatives and friends of
members of the Goth division when
he sent the following telegram to
Mayor David f. Fitzgerald Of this
city:
THE Goth division will not return
TO the United States for several
months, it is therefore impossible for
me to state at this time whether the
1929 regiment can return directly to
New Haven or not"
Earlier in the day Mayor Fitzger-
ala telegraphed Gen. March asking if
the 102d regim ent, which was orig
maIly composed entirely of New
Haven and southern Connecticut
young mon, could not come directly
TO this city after they were landed
in Boston. The mayors telegram was
sent to Gen. March on the under
standing that, as published generally
in New England newspapers, the 26th
division would start from France for
America Immediately.

Gen. MARGINS telegram directly con-
tradicts the cablegram sent by Gen.
Pershing last Thursday to Congress-
man Fuller of MaSsa chusetts, in
which the American commander said
that the goth division would start for
home next Thursday. Following the
many varied reports concerning tho
return of the Yankee division, Gen.
Pershing's message was regarded as
official, and caused Gov. Coolidge Of
Massa chusetts and Mayor Peters Of
Boston to make plans for a great re-
ception to the troops on their arrival
at Boston.
