STATE AID FOR TROLLEYS

 The historic policy of Connecticut clearly indicated by the amendment regardless of its legal effect intended that the taxpayers should suffer by the failures and mismanagement of railroad corporations.

PROTEST AGAINST
 COLONY ACTION
Erzberger Says Germany Must Not Be Shorn of
 Possessions.

Basic, Monday, Feb. s-Speaking before the colonial society at Berlin today, Matthias Erzberger, one of the German armistice commissioners, protested against Germany being de- prived of her colonies, according to a despatch received here from the German capital He is reported to have said: S
 'If we no longer have troops or arms we have our rights. The Allies have accepted MT. Wilson's fourteen points as Germany has. MT. Wilson demands broad and impartial regu- lation of all colonial questions, but the Allies are seeking to impose the will of stronger nations, without taking into account the rights of Germany.
 "Depriving Germany of all her col onies would contain a deadly germ for the League of Nations even be- fore that League is born. We under stand it has been proposed to inter nationaliZe German colonies under the administration of the League of Nations. We ought to categorically repel such proposition, or claim the same treatment for the colonies of all other Powers.

SOCIALISTS GIVE
 WILSON GREETING

Paris, Monday, Feb. 3.-President Wilson was given an unusual recep- ton by Socialist members at the chamber of deputies this afternoon. They tried to drown the applause from the centre and the right in an apparent attempt to show MT. Wilson that his ideas were their own. When Captain Mantoux, the official inter- preter, who translated President Wilson's address, reached that part of the speech in which MT. Wilson spoke of the society of nations, the Socialists rose, shouting long live the Society of Nations," some of them and down with war"
 Paul Deschanel, who opeend the sitting, said of the plan for the So- ciety of Nations: sfs

BERNIE MEETING MAY PROVE TO
 BE HUN TRAP Scheme Planned to Help Germany to Retrieve Her
 Military Defeat. SOME SOCIALISTS
 REFUSED TO GO Prominent Socialists See Plan to Escape Paying
 Indemnities.

Paris. Monday, Feb. 3.-The Berne Socialist conference. a which many Socialist bodies in Europe have failed to send representatives, Is the outs come of German plan to help Ger many retrieve her military defeat and escape the payment of just indemni- ties, in the belief of Charles Edward Russell and William English Wall ing, speaking in behalf of the Social Democratic league of the United States. Messrs. Russell and Wallins tonight gave out the following state the league:
 "As delegates of our organization we decline to go to Berne because despite the pretention of the worlds laboring classes are representing there, its principal movers are those in all countries who tried to cause peace when it would have meant the triumph of imperialism and the ruin Of the working class democracy.
 We note that the general federa- ton of trades unions Of Great Britain has no representation there, nor the Italian Socialist party, representing the majority of Italian Socialists; nor the Belgian Socialist party, nor the American Federation of Labor; and that 40 Socialists in the French chamber of deputies allowed their delegates to go only under protest and under the threat that their ac- ton would be repudiated unless the Scheidemann group was excluded. We also note that one-third of the Berne delegates are recognized by the Bolshevik as sympathtic with their doctrines.
 We believe that the Berne confer ence is designed by Germany to re- deem her from military defeat and avoid the payment of a just indemnity by intrigue and secret diplomacy"

Wilson Working Hard Up. on Plan For Morning
 League of Nations.

Paris, Feb. 4-The Supreme Council at it's meeting today agreed that questions in the statement of Premier VenizeloS concerning Greek territorial interests in the Peace settle ment should be referred to a commission of experts whose duty it would be to make re- concentrations for a just set clement.
 The commission will be cOm- posed of two representatives each from the United States, the British empire, France and Italy.
 President Wilson has several ap- pointments for today, including a call from representatives of the Bible so- ciety and visits from some Repubfi- can congressman who have arrived in Paris. He is determined, however, that nothing shall be permitted to ob- struct his progress of the commission of which he is chairman and which Is now engaged in perfecting the scheme for the creation of a Society of Nations.
 He is, therefore, concentrating his attention upon that work. While less than two weeks remain before the date set for his return to Washing ton, it is still regarded as possible for the peace conference in plenary ses- sion to ratffy the plan and thus put 1t fairly in the way to be registered in treaty form within the time limit, This would make 9 record for inter
