GERMANY TO RETURN
 TO PEACE FINANCES
Erzberger Says Empires Needs Are. to Be Divided Between Homo Needs
 and IndcmnitiCs.

Berlin, July s, .(By Associated Press )-Germany is to return quickly to a peace time financial system, said Matthias Erzberger, vice chancellor and minister of finance, speaking at Weimar before the German national assembly today. Among other things the payment of grants to unemployed men will be reduced, it was indicated during his address. :,
 "The empires needs must be diVid- ed henceforth between home needs and indemnities," he said. "The years expenditures confronting us will amount to about r, 500, 100000 marks. l am firmly resolved to tread the hard path of economy and, therefore, have given out the watchWord that from October 1, 1919, there shall be no more items not detailed, and there shall be no more war funds. The war finance system shall cease and a reg ular budget system must be re-estab- Ished. The first guiding principle is that there must be no more unprO- ductive expenditures. Therefore, a gradual abolition of nOn-emplOyment grants must be faced. How are the full requirements for the empire, now states and COmmunes, which may be estimated at some 25,0G0, 0,0O0 marks to be covered.' -
 After citing the returns to the em- pire from taxation measures prior to and during the war and estimating the revenue to be derived from new tax bills, Herr Erzberger said:
 "There still remains a sum of over 1O,O0O,OOO, 1000 marks to be covered"
 hp Ct of n 9 ln1O completed the drafting of two import ant bills levying new taxes which I intend to submit to the house before the parliamentary recess" he cOntin- ued. "These call for large single levy on property and a large tax on business turnover but even these bills are passed, the money for the pay ment of indemnities must be obtained in some other way. In the autumn new bills will be introduced in the as- sembly with the final object of cover ing this deficit.
 "The burdens of taxation will reach a terrible height. A floating debt Of 72,OO0, 0,000.000 marks is constant danger and the removal of this debt is one of our most urgent tasks. There are two ways in which to do it either it's conversion into a funded
 
 heavy property tax. I do not indulge the hope that these two ways will inn mediately yield the entire liquid amount of 72,OOOO, O,OOO,OOO marks. It is the duty of propertied people, not only to bow to a state of COmpulsiOn, but to achieve an inward conviction dS the necessity of giving up all riches and all that is SupeTfluOus.
 Changes in the system of taxation will be speedily submitted to the na- tional assembly and this reform will represent the completion of the whole work"
 Herr Erzberger concluded bysaslling that taxation bills be disposed of be- fore a recess is taken, adding: "The war takes our riches. The world has denied us international jus tice All the more passionately and energetically, however, will we work for the homeland again and, flourish ing in justice, concentrate our care | and endeavor upon the poor but just German"

D. McMillan Objects to Alleged Stigma Upon His Establishment.

E D. McMillan of the D. McMillan Co. has objected to the wording of story published in Saturday evenings paper which, he claims, makes it ap- pear that the clerks in his store are dissatisfied with the hours in that particular establishment. There was ho attempt to create that impression Dn the part of the Herald. One of his clerks did object to the schedule of holiday hours as instituted by the chamb Der of commerce last week and the item so stated. However, Mr. McMillan has been a consistent work er for shorter hours in the mercan- tile establishments and is one of those responsible for the 6 o'clock Monday closing time. He so states and facts verify this. The clerks may be dis satisfied with the hours as instituted but as far as we know there is no dissatisfaction with his particular es- ta ablishment

HAVE TWO SITES
 FOR FIRE HOUSE
Commissioners Consider Plans . for New Station

The board of fire commissioners held a meeting last evening and transacted considerable business rela- tive to the proposed new fire station in the southwestern part of the city. The board will recommend to the common council two sites of land for the station. One of these sites is a lot owned by William H. Caldwell which is known as Lot No. , on the Union Realty company tract. The other site is at the corner of Hart and Linwood street The board favors the purchase of the Caldwell property which is on the south side of Ken singtOn avenue, almost directly OppO- site the end of Andrews street. This site affords a good getaway into the center of the city and, also to the east and western sections of the city. The price for the site is $1,150 and the board has secured an option from the owner. The site at Hart and Lin wood streets also has some adVan- tages, being near the New Britain hospital and the down grade leading from it makes it favorable for fire sta tion purposes. The price of this lot is 1,500.
 Bids On Equipment.
 The Gamewell Fire Alarm Tele- graph company submitted quotations for furnishing new equipment for the proposed station. The sum required for the work is $S,500, with an adei- tional price of $500 for installation of the equipment. The board voted to recommend to the common council that the contract at these figures be authorized
 . The equipment which the Gamewell company will furnish consists of a 12- circuit automatic repeater with an art metal pedestal with marble top for the repeater; a 12-circuit charging board i; a 16-circuit protector board; two bat terV racks of total of 36 feet in length. The company offers to fur nish the plans for the layout The equipment will double the system and provides for future growth. It also provides that in the event of a change from the automatic to the manually operated fire alarm system. the same equipment will be available. The company will require 90 working days to install the system. The prices quoted by the company were received favorably by the commissioners. Want Central Garage The commission will recommend to the common council that in the event of the using of property in the rear of city hall as a central garage, that the building now used by the board of public works could be used to advan- tage as a headquarters for the fire alarm system. This would avoid an expenditure of erecting a new build ing for this purpose.
 Invitation to sumbit bids for the supplying of lead for the cable for the fire alarm system were extended last week, but owing to the shortness of time only few of the manufacturers sent in quotations.

FAMOUS ENGLISH
 BEAUTY MURDERED
Mrs. Arthur Eliot Has Figured in Many Sensational Scandal Cases
 in England.

London, July 9-Mrs. Arthur Eliot, better known as Mrs. Mabel Louis Atherton, divorced wife of Col. Thomas Atherton, was found shot this morning in her home in London, ac- cording to the Evening Standard this afternoon. Mrs. Eliot who was a sister of Sir Aubrey Dean-Paul, some years ago sued Baron Churston, then John Reginald Yarde- Butler, for breach of promise. The case created a considerable sensation at the time. Last April she married Captain Ar thur Eliot a dramatist, grand-S of the late Earl of St. Germans.
 Mrs. Eliot was Mabel Louise, the third daughter of Sir Edward Dean- Paul. She was married to Col. Thomas Atherton in 1892. Her husband di- voroed her in 1907, naming John Reginald Yarde-Buller, now Baron Churston, as correspondent. Mrs. Atherton then sued MT. Yarde-Bul1er for breach of promise and won her case
 In 1909 Mrs. Atherton, who was a noted beauty in English society, was one of the four principals in the sen satiOnal Stirling divorce case in Edin- burgh. John A. Stirling of Kippen- daire, sued his wife, formerly Miss Clara F.. Taylor, an American actress and known in society in New Jersey ana Washington. Mir. Stirling named Lord Northland as correspondent. Mrs. Stirling filed a cross suit naming Mrs. Atherton. The case which oc- cupied the Scottish court for several months, was decided in favor of the husband.
 Mrs. Atherton in 1911 brought suit for slander against her sister-in-law, Lady Aubrey Dean-Paul, and was granted damages in the sum of one farthing.

Roads Without euiae-aoards.

s . j. .. n
Along with the better roads Yer
mont needs, let US have guide-boards.
Considering the amount of money nee
es 5ary to mark every cross-road with
guide.post telling the direction of
and the distance to nearby towns, the
Investment will pay dividends far in
excess of what might be derived from
the same outlay in other lines.
Travel throughout The state and
one finds but little to aid the tourist
in the way OF guide boards In fact
the absence of these aids 10 travel Is
strikingB noticeable in Vermont as
compared to New York, Maasachu-
sets and New Hampshire. The alb.
sence of this adjunct of travel is not
attactive to the automobile tourist.
TO be sure the automobile guide
books tell direction, distances and
routes, but properly marked road
adds to pleasure of travel
1t is exasperating to drive half
dozen miles off the road one should
follow simply because the officials Of
town cannot see the usefulness.
yes, the necessity, of a guide-board at
the intersection of road. Most of
us in Vermont are well acquainted
with the section in which we live and
many of us have a fair acquaintance
with state highways elsewhere. but
the traveller from other states finds
himself lost simply because so little
attention is paid to marking our
roads
For example: How many people in
this city can drive an automobile
from Rutland to Canaan by the most
direct route without stopping score
of times to make inquiry?
Suppose one coming from Benning-
ton to Rutland wishes to double back
south to Brattleboro. He would have
to have a pilot to get out of this city
although we have some questionable
guide-boards which, however, merely
emphasize another phase of road
marking.
Many villages and cities erect elab-
crate wooden or metal street and
road signs and pay no attention to
keeping them in place or repair, and
the result is they are practically use
less
What good does 1t do to mark the
streets leading out of this or any city
if the adjoining town does not CO.
operate by posting the traveller as to
the routes through such town?
Every tourist does not carry a
road book, in fact few do so. This
disregard of the Travellers welfare
does not tend to attract tourists; it
displeases and repels them.
We should preserve the beauties
of our land of mountains but we must
also attract outsiders to enjoy them.

Vermont Has Good Roads

Now and then Vermont gets an UNI
solicited testimonial regarding her
roads which\tends to lend encourage
ment to the Efforts now being made to
build up the states highway system.
Such a testimonial came recently
to a Brattleboro business man from a
Massachusetts resident who has been
touring through the Green Mountain
state. This Massachusetts party
states:
There is enc thing j must say and
that is Vermont roads are among the
best | have ever travelled over II
Vermont keeps on with its present
road system there is no doubt the
state can carry away honors as hav-
ing the best roads in the country.
A little encouragement like that will
increase the efforts to improve the
highways of the state and will be far
more effective than captious criticism.

Vermont is to have another news
paper. The Newport News will be
launched this week in Newport For
the present it IS to be weekly
paper but everything points towards
the experiment being made of turn
ing it into a daily. Gilpin, Hunt q
Co, publishers OF the Orleans County
Monitor at Barton, are sponsors OF
the new enterprise. Whether or not
the Newport Express and Standard ia
to be merged with the Newport
News can only be conjectured; but
the fact that the former ~carries a
large advertisement announcing the
forthcoming new publication leads
one to believe that further changes
are to he made in the newspaper stu
