BATTLESHIP MAINE
 RELIC AVAILABLE
Congressman Linergan Announces Method Whereby Cities Can Obtain
 Souvenirs of 1898.

Washington, June 4.-Some Con- necticut cities and organizations have an opportunity to secure splendid memorials of the battleship Maine if they so desire and some under the law according to information ob- tained by Congressman Augustine Lonergan.
 There are at the Navy Yard, Wash ington, 1911 memorial tablets from metal recovered from the wreck of the Maine together with one ven tilator, two deck plates and three pow der tanks.
 These tablets and materials men, toned are to be disposed of in ac- cordance with the Act of August 22, 1912, which is quoted as follows:
 "The Secretaries of War and Navy are authorized to cause to be made from any parts of the wreck of the Maine or it's eQuipmen that are suit able for the purpose, tablets for do- nation as relics in conformity with the provision of the Act of December twenty second nineteen hundred and eleven, making appropriations to supply urgent deficiencies; provided, that the cost of such tablets may be
 charged against any unexpended bal ances of appropriations heretofore made for the removal of the wreck l of the Maine and that the municipa1i- 1 ties or bodies receiving such tablets i shall defray the cost thereof, which l cost shall be reimbursed to the proper | appropriation
 ! The act specifies that the following
 are entitled to parts of the Maine: I Municipalities.
 I Military or naval associations or 1 societies, and the former officers and crew of the Maine or their heirs or l representatives
 i The estimated cost of the tablets Is
 $5 plus express charges from Wash l ington to destination. Congressman Lonergan will be glad
 to direct the attention of the Secre- l tary of the Navy to any municipalities l or organizations in Hartford county l entitled to such tablets, if they will l but advise him.

WANT U. s. ALLIANCE

Berin, June 3, (By Associated Press) seems to be a wide spread demand by Germans that ef- forts be made to induce America to enter into a sort of limited alliance with Germany or take a protectorate over this country, giving Germany financial aid and protecting and talk ing in return the lions share of the profits of the country's industrial &C., tivities. This sentimen which first made it's appearance last December recently.
 PriNy Councillor Bergman, for merly a partner in the German Edi- son companies and one of the largest electrical magnates, here, suggests a German-American partnership with America the senior and controlling partner.

AMERICANS ABROAD
 REFUTE VANDERBILT
Declare That New York Banker Is Too Pessimistic--Dcny Europe
 Is Bankrupt.

The recent SenSa tiOnal speech made by Frank Vanderlip before the Eco homie club of New York, in which he said that Europe was bankrupt and on the verge of revolution. has reached the other side and has met with denial, American financial ex- perts now in Europe say that MT. Vanderlip's gloomy prophecy is not abroad is too pessimistic. MT. TIoov- CT. Mir Lamont, and Mr Davis, our ambassador to En gland, say that they already see definite signs of a return to normal conditions. The general food shortage predicted by MT. Van derlip is by no means imminent ac- cording to the experts, and MT. Hoov- CT is actually preparing a statement to refutc this part of MT. Vanderlip's speech. MT. Hoover says that, if pro- ducing countries like North and South America extend sufficient credit there will be enough food to go around.
 There is an agreement among Americans abroad with MT. Wander lips contention that America must grant Europe sufficient credit But they deny that it is an insOlvent Eu- rope with which America will have to deal. The problem, as the experts see it. is triple one; to supply work ing capital to Germany, to finance Poland and other new nations, and to extend credit of the old nations of Western Europe.
 On ono point the American ex- perts i'll Europe agreed: namely, that government credits to the Allied na- tions shall cease. It is the desire of the treasury officials and experts alike that from now on private cred it's shall take the place of government credits as rapidly as possible. This is sound policy and should be fol- lowed except in the case of the new small nations, such as Poland and zecho-Slovakia, whose need is i'm mediate and where private capital could not be expected to flow quick ly enough to meet their pressing needs. It is gratifying to find that MT. Vandrlip's gloomy prophecy is not en- entirely justified.

GOVT. CONTROL OF !
 WHEAT 10 CONTINUE
All Big Nations, Except Argen-
 tine, Guarantee Prices ]

Paris, June 3, (By the Associated Press. )-A1l the important govern ments of the world, except Argentina, having guaranteed prices of wheat to farmers, and all the European govern ments having subsidized the bread supply, it is considered probable he&G that commerce in wheat will remain in government hands next year and that there will be little private trad ing. The American members of the supreme economic council however, believe there is no necessity of contin-
 uing centralized control of the distri~
 button in Europe. X
 The question of food control af%&r peace is established has been discuss ed by the council, Herbert c. Hoover and the other American members op-
 posing control taking the view that as there will be no food shortage after the next harvest food control as it now
 exists is unnecessary. MT. Hoover contends that normal trading should
 be established throughout the
 world as no guarantees exist for other
 commodities, and that if attempts are made to control prices in other cQ1a-
 modities production will be stified and
 a shortage created.
 The last food ship under the direc-
 tion of the American food control or-
 ganization will leave America late in
 June unless there should be a decided change in the worlds affairs and some new legislation is passed by the United States congress, it was indicated here today No law is now in existence a&- thorizing the participation of the United States in food control activi- ties after the signing of the peace ! treaty, and American food experts be- 1 lieve it desirable that the financing of 1 food transactions should be handled l by bankers and that dealings should l be permitted through regular chan- l nels A Herbert Hoover, chairman of the 1 inter-allied food commission, contends 1 that normal trading should be estab- l lished throughout the world and in- 1 sists that attempts made to control 1 prices will tend to stife production. g

AMERICAN MARINES
 IN SAN SALVADOR
Armed Forces Landed Because of Outbreak of Costa Rican RevOIu-
 tion. According to Dispatches.

San Salvador, Republic of Salvador, June 4-American marines have been landed at Punta Arenas and Port Li- mon, Costa Ricag because of the revolution against the government headed by Gen. Tinoco, according to dispatches printed in newspapers here.
 The revolution in Costa Rica has been going on for the past two months, but has been attracting con- siderable attention in Central Ameri- can countries for the last four weeks. Forces said to have been recruited from political exiles formed bands along the Nicaraguan frontier near Lake Nicaragua and advanced south west, clashing on several occasions with forces commanded by Joaquin Tinoco, Costa Rican minister of war. The fighting has been restricted al- most entirely to the mountainous country near the Nicaraguan border although recently skirmishes further south have been reported. The situa- ton is quite obscure owing to the fact that reports from Costa Rica have been of a conflicting nature. Punta Renas is a port on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica and is the Pacific terminus of the railroad extending across Costa Rica to Port Limon, the most import ant harbor on the Atlantic side of the country.

DkI1ISH OFFICER TO SPEAK HERE
 
Capt. Gipsyf Pat Pat Smith, Soldier
 Evangelist, at "Y" Tuesday

Captain "Gipsy" Pat Smith, the young Scotchman who won a British army commission in the Great War is conducting speaking tour of the United States and Canada and will be sn this city during the coming week speaking both at the Y. M. c. A. and us one of the principal spea l1ers of gthe Peoples Church conference. His Y. M c. A. address will be given on Tuesday evening of next week, and he will have his topic: Tn the Firing Line On Almistice Day.
 Captain Smith speaks with a rich burr that might even make Sir Harry Lauder envious. The sleeves of his uniform coat arc marked with three blue service chevrons denoting three years of service in the front lines, and two perpendicular stripes on his left sleeve indicates two wounds received on July l, 1916, at the beginning of the great British drive on the Somme. Smith was in the thick of it from the very start. He was born in Q gypsy wagon at Motherwell outside of Glas- gow and was scarcely 21 when the war broke out. He enlisted as a pri- vate in the "Lovat's Scouts a, Scotch cavalry organization. transformed in to infantry later, and served for two years with that outfit going through much fighting without being wounded. N On the opening day of the SOmme drive Smiths battalion went into the battle with 82S officers and men and at the close of the day but 124 men and five officers were found to have survived the days fighting. Smith ~S-1-~ Nf1@ f@1I I 4yIvN bad wounds one of which has caused his left arm to be three inches shorter than the right. After nineteen months in the hospital and nine operations, he was again returned to the front with the commission of lieutenant in the Northumb mberland F>usliers in which regiment he Is still enrolled. I'm April, 1918, he was in some des- perate fighting with the Germans on their last great push and the English with their "backs to the wall.'' He was soon promoted to the rank of captain.
 The young Scotchman does not dwell much on the horrors of those losing days before the news of the ar rival of American millions served to brace everybody up. There is one story, however, which he thinks is better than the others, called the ''great coincidence"
 "It was during the German drive last April and we were doing some open fighting. I happened to run around the corner of a ruined house and came face to face with a German officer. He fired and grazed my ear; fired and killed him. I took his hel- met and inside the cover was the name Captain P Smith, doubt if his first name was Pat but it was quite a coincidence. His regiment was the Fifth BaVarians and mine the Fifth Fusilers. But he was dead and was alive.''
 Following the talk a social will be held, the service orchestra will play and "eats' and smokes will be served. All members of the "Y' and friends are invited to attend. Ex-service men are extended a special invitation to be present.
