GREENWICH SOCIETY
 LOSES ITS CLOTHES
$35, ,OOO Blaze Destroys Fur Coats Gowns and Other Valuable AIti-
 cIes Of Wearing Apparel.

Greenwich, Dec. 2-Many fur coats, capeS and gowns of expensive material belonging to residents of this town, were destroyed today when fire wrecked the ladies' tailoring shop of l.. $. Croce, in Greenwich avenue. In the adjoining building, and in which fire started, following explosion of a gas tank there were additional arti- cles of apparel and furs, in the tail bring shop of J. H. O'Neill. An early estimate of aggregate losses was $35,- 900.
 The fire having it's start in the O'Neil shop spread and destroyed the structure, and spread to the adjoin- ing building in which Croce had his place. Samuel Zeigler who lived up stairs with his family, owned this lat ter building. and places his loss at S14,O0O The family lost every thing Over the O'Neil shop lived James Stewart and family, and they lost their household goods. The structure was worth $10,000.
 Neither O'Neil nor Croce can tell the exact value of the articles left with them for repair or renovation. The latter had in charge a fur over coat the owner of which had valued at $1,OO0.

$1OO,OOO EXEMPTIONS
 ARE ALREADY ASKED
Special Act Relieves Service Men ot S1,OO0 on Their Assessment;
 Over 100 Apply.

Tax exemption to the amount of $10O,O00 has already been asked for and it is probable that the total amount will reach q much higher figure when all taxpayers entitled to exemption have made application, Chairman August Burckhardt, of the board of assessors, explained today when asked about the special act eXempting service men from payment upon property to the amount of $1,000 each
 The act itself is one passed at the request of the government and has been followed out for number of years in the case of veterans of other wars. This is the first year, however, that the veterans of the World War have had the opportunity of receiv- ing the relief given under that rule, so many of them are taking advan- tage of the special act to secure ex- emption. Chairman Burcl1hardt re- ports that the men come to the office of the assessors in groups. In sev- eral instances where there have been more than one or two service men in the family, large and valuable pieces of property have been allowed to go free of taxation through this rule, and the assessors have been instructed to take notice of this fact in making up their tax lists.
 The taxes must necessarily be made up through other assessm ents, the total amount of which will depend upon the number of ex-service men who apply. As matters now stand, an additional S2,10O will have to be collected from taxpayers other than the eX-service men. This is figured at the rate of 21 mills on the dollar for the 100 exemptions of $1,00O each, or $21 on each soldier.

MILLIONAIRE STEEL
 MAGNATE IS DEAD
Henry Clay Prick, Worth $2OO, ,OOO, ,OOe,
 Succunlbs to ptOmainc Poisoning.

New York, Dec. 2-Henry Clay Prick millionaire steel manufa cturer, died here this morning. MT. Prick suffered an attack of ptomaine pois- oning early in November. He had nearly recovered from this when seri- ous complications developed. He was 69 years old

He was a director and a member of the executive com mittee of that organization almost from it's inception. According to d general belief among financial men. he Wlelded a greater influence than any other man in directing the policy of that corporation.
 Financiers familiar with Mr. Prick 5 interests estimated today that his for tune was not less than $2OO,COOOOO It was said he was one of the largest individual holders of Liberty and Vic tory bonds.

U. s. DELEGATES DELAY
 DEPARTURE FROM PARIS
Failure of Germany to Sign Protocol Ratifying Peace
 Treaty Said to Be Cause.

Paris, Dec. 2.-The American deIe- was to have sailed from Brest for the United States on December 6. has postponed it's departure for home it was learned this afternoon. A con siderable part of the personnel of the peace mission, however, will leave Paris for Brest on the evening of December 5, as previously arranged.
 It is learned from a high authority that the change in the plans of the delegation is due to the failure of the Germans to sign the protocol rati- flying the peace treaty. It is pointed out that if the treaty is not ratified the' situation between Germany and the United States, as we'll as the oth- CT Allied and associated powers goes back to the status created by the armiStice. Hence the United States is still quite as much interested as it's associates of the Allied powers, de- spite the fact that the senate has not ratified the treaty. Whatever the date which the American delegation may decide upon for leaving France, it was affirmed today on excellent au- thority that such arrangements will be made for the representation of the United States in the further nego- tiations that Germany will find all the Allied and associated powers working together to resist any effort on her part to avoid making the peace effective according to the terms of the treaty.
