REDEENfING STAMPS.
Postmaster Docs Not Approve of Ac-
 tion of Local People.

The sale of war savings stamps and thrift stamps is not as active as it sRould be for a city the size of New Britain. Within the last several months there has been an average of lS,000 worth of thrift and war say tngs stamps cashed in each month. This is abusing an opportunity to save money at a good rate of interest, says Postmaster Delaney, as the government did not give the privilege for no ac- count. It does not look well for the city and besides is not adding any money to a persons bank account to cash them at so early a period. If these stamps are held until maturity the holder will make good on his in- vestment TO redeem them now de- feats the good that will accrue both to the owner and to the governm ent, he added.

JOHN WAS WAS BUT
 NOW JOHN WAS IS
Up to 10 A. M. He Was Bachelor But He Suddenly Decided to
 Marry Girl.

John Was was a bachelor up to 10 o'clock this morning. Now John Was is benedict. The transformation took place in the police station this morning with Judge George w. Klett, tying the nuptial knot, that says HonOratO Cinkas is Mrs. Was.
 John has been spending his pre- nuptial days in the cell room of the police station. He was arrested re- gently on a civil action brought by Honorata, and rather than face the consequences of the court, John con- sented to say "Yes'' to the necessary questions of bride and groom.
 John, it is claimed, had quite a manner with him of separating un- suspecting girls from their money. The bride of this morning had previ- Ously reported that John secured several hundred dollars from her on a promise of marriage, and he is now under bonds to appear in the superior court in Septem Der for an alleged theft of $500 from another woman

BULGARIANS ARE
 GETTING ANXIOUS
Fear Result of Peace Mission to Paris Will Not Be All That Was
 Expected

Sofia, July 30, (By the Associated Press -Uneasiness and uncertainty are discernible here regarding the the Bulgarian peace delegates. Bull garla'S claims to the Dobrudja and her aspirations as to Macedonia are still to the fore in discussion of the peace terms, and despite the hints of possible territorial losses which have caused concern and brought out some bitter comment, there appears to be d general hope that justice, as it is viewed here, will be done Bulgaria in this respect and that the questions at issues will be determined independ- ently of her participation in the war on the side opposed to the Allies.
 Prominent spokesmen among the Bulgarians have expressed strong de- sires to sec peace brought about through the visit of the mission to Paris with the hope that the terms would be 'something we can swal- low Tn these expressions both the people and government arc agreed to the belief but the professed friend ship is voiced with less certainty than previously.
 Utterances indicating dislike of the French are feebly heard in the capi- tai which may be explained as due to here. The Bulgarian peasants are reaping what probably will be the largest grain harvest in years.

It then said that the company in event of strike would handle it in the same manner in which it handled a strike years ago. Any ecnploye who engaged in a strike would not be re-engaged.

VON HOEGEN OUT
 IN BONDS OF S2,OOO
New Haven Lawyer Charged With Treason May Get
 Off Easy

Hartford, July 30.--MaNmilian von
 Hocgcn, formerly d lawyer in \cw
 Haven, who considerably more than
 a year ago was indicted for treason by
 a grand jury in the United States
 court, may now be admitted to bail, John F. Crosby, United States dis trict attorney for this district, said yesterday. The man has been in jail for several months in this city, he having fled from this jurisdiction CO., incident with the reporting of the in- dictment against him. He has re- turned here after he was apprehended in Texas. close to the Mexican borders while he was making his way into
 Mexico
 His hearing had been set for diff ferent sessions of the United States court since his return. For different reasons however the hearing had been continued. Now that the war in so far a actual hostilities are con- ccrned is over, there is belief, as was indicted some weeks ago, that the indictment will be quashed and
 that when von Hoeegen is arraigned in court. he will be charged with minor violation of federal law. Charles Recht of New York is law y said yeSterday that, now the war is over and peace negotiations are under way, the feeling of the attorney gen. eral as to the VOn Hoegen case is all together different from what it had been during actual war. As he was charged with treason, it was not dur ling actual hostilities, regarded as good for the country or for von IIOegen himself to be at large, and consequently, he was kept in re-
 Straint in jail. Because of the
 changed feeling and because of repe-
 sentatiOns made by MT. Recht in be-
 half of von Hoegen, the attorney
 general had acquiesced in the proposi- tion that the man he admitted to bail.
 As a result, MT. Crosby said he had
 agreed that on the giving of bail in the sum of $2.0O0 for appearance in court von HoegCn he released. When von Hoegen is ready to furnish
 that amount of bail, application will
 be made in the usual wny and the
 release of Von Hoegen will follow. It
 is expected he will provide tail in the
 sum specified.
