Ne Examinatiens.
There is nothing in the wartime
prohibition law nor in the Federal
amendment which exempts Italian,
French, Spanish or Russian singers
from the operation of the prohibitiye
measures.
Ambassadors and their suites are
exempt. but in the drafting Of the
laws singers appear to haya been
entirely overlooked.

occasional bottle OF the voice building

SHORT wEIGHER FINED.
Manager of Atlantic and Pacific Tea
Company at Brandon Caught.

RUTLAND, Aug. 16.-Judge George
NJ. Goddard, at session of city court
yesterday morning, fined Adelard t.
Lariviere $50 and costs of $3.50 for
displaying and selling short weight
packages of groceries in the Brandon
store of the Atlantic & Pacific Tea COM
pany, of which he was manager.
The prosecution resulted from a re.
cent investigation conducted by the
state department of weights and meas
ures, through Commissioner Walter F.
Scott of Brandon, on whose representa-
tion Lariviere was held. While the
crime was slight in a sense, the respond.
ent having been held responsible fol-
very small deductions from packages OF
beans, tea, ETC., only about the amount
equal to the weight of the container, the
case is considered important inasmucf
az it is part of a statewide cleanup
which the weights and measures depart
ment has begun in an effort to enforce
the law which provides for full net
weight of all purchases, that the con
jsumer~ may be protected and receive
his full measure in these high cost O
| living days.

Hon at the Wesselhoeft House.

The hop of last evening at the Wes-

direction of Messrs. Miles and Hardee,

the most brilliant of the season. We

any similar occasion at this place. The
exquisite grace, beauty and taste of

of the gentlemen have made this hop
memorable to all who participated.

South End nine defeated the North End
Tigers Thursday afternoon at the play
ground by the score of Is to 4. The
game from start to finish was loosely
played, both sides making many mis-

Tigers pitchers easy, and this was re
sponsible for getting most of their
runs. The batteries for the South End
were Cleary, K. Hallahan and Driscoll

PUSH TRUCE OF
POLE AND HUNS
Arnnistice Negotiations
OF Commission Going
Well.

Paris, Thursday, March "a
Hayas dispatch from Posen, dated
Wednesday, tells of the meeting Of
allied and German missions at the
village of Kreutz, where negotia-
tons for a new armistice between
Germany and Poland will be car
ried on.
The courteous demeaRor of the
Germans was noted as being dis
tinctly different from that shown
at Brest-Litovsk last year when
they were so truculent toward
Leon Trotzky, the then bolsheviki
minister OF war, and his friends.
After the German delegates had
declared that their government re-
tanned full authority over the Ger
Liam troops along the Polish front,
the armistice terms bearing on the
Polish boundary were examined. A
line of demarcatioH will be fixed
by a subcommittee, which will be
given power to maintain a neutral
zone between Germany and Polish
forces there.
The allied commission demanded
formal guarantees for the landing
of Polish troops at DaHzig and
their passage as far as the Polish
frontier The German delegates
telegraphed the details of this de-
mand to Berlin. The Germans de-
clared they were ready to continue
the deliberations at Posen and the
allied delegates aSsented. under
taking to answer for the good be
Lavior of the population during the
period of negotiations.
