TERMS
 ON ARMAMENT
Provide For Control of Hun Equipment
 Indefinitely.

Paris Tuesday, March 18-(By the Associated Press) The military terms of the Treaty of Peace have been amended by the elimination of the clause providing for the control of Germany's armament for an indef- nite period. Admiral w. s. Benson, of the United States navy, pointed out that the original terms committed the United States to @ virtually indefinite occupation of Germany and it was ,iefly on his insistence that the terms were modified. American dele- gates also pointed out that control of any portion of Germany for such a period would delay the return of troops and would amount to annulling the sovereignty of Ger many.
 As amended. the terms provide for control through the time fixed for the delivery of materials Of war. gurs and ships. but not through the period during which war damages will be paid by Germany

 IN BOSTON

Washington, March 19-GeneraI Pershing has not indicated whether the 42nd or the 26th Division would be started home first. The former is at AhrweiIer, Germany, with the army of occu upation. while the New England troops are at Montigny-Ie- Roi, France. The 77th is at Cha teau William, France. Plans for the reception of the Rainbow and New Finland divisions in this country have not been announced, but the 42nd, which is comp posed of guardsmen from
 2S states, probably will go to one of the camps around New York and the 18th to Camp Devens, Mass.
 The New England division will pa rade in Boston before being demob- ihzed, and the And may appear in New York city. The Rainbow unit probably will arrive home while the Victory Loan campaign is in progress and Secretary Glass is anxious that 1t should participate This was the first guard division to go to France and it took part in the three great battles in which the American army fought---the Aisre-MarIGe counter of fensive, which drove the Germans be yond the Vesle; St. Mihiel, and the Argonne

by Senator Arthur E. Bowers of Manchester, the resolution was calCu- lated to amend the Connecticut con stitution to prohibit the sale of in toxtcating liquors within the limits of this state. Without any setbacks. under the state constitution, it could not have reached the electorate any sooner than promises now to be the case.
 Since the federal prohibition amend ment was written into the United States Constitution, Connecticut pro- hibitionists have tried to discourage the further progress of the statewide prohibition amendment on the grounds that 1t was futile, and be cause the consequences of @ rejection by the people were feared. Anti prohibitionists, however, have con- tended that the voters were entitled. to opportunity to express themselves on so important g. question, which affects their personal liberties. so that their opposition or approval might be recorded at least, even though the result probably could bear no weight against the federal amendment.

State Senate Adopts Bill Allowing Local Option on
 Subject.

Hartford. Conn, March 19-The Senate today 26 to 9, adopted the To- cal option Sunday moving picture ex- hibfhon bill, which the judiciary committee drafted from among a dog en or more measures covering that subject. The senators In opposition were Woodruff, Leonard and Hough. The Senate refused to reconsider it's action. The bill was brought up by Senator KIett from the calendar whose amendment to include in 1t sa.- cred concerts or lectures was adopted without debate.
 The Senator then explained the na- lure of the hearing before his com nittee and he said that there was practically unanimous opinion that moving picture exhibitions have an educational value and were a good entertainment for a Sunday eventns He said:
 I've ought 10 look at this fairly. Moving pictures on Sunday night ap- peal to many people, chiefly those who do not have automobiles who do not have clubs to go to on Sunday, or the opportunity to play golf or en- joy other amusements which are not within their meaus.''

Statewide Prohibition Referendum Favored
 Assembly Committee

Hartford, March 19.-Submission to the voters of the state of the prohI- bition amendment to the Connecticut constitution, notwithstanding the fed eraI prohibition amendment, was ia vored yesterday by the joint Iegisla- tive committee on constitutional amendments. By a vote that was practically unanimous, the commit tee, at a meeting held immediately after adjournment Of the Legislature, voted to report favorably on Q reso- udon, adopted by the House of Rep resentatives two years ago, which would be submitted to the people of the state on a. referendum if adopted by a. two-thtrds vote of both houses of the present session. This decision was reached after only a. few minutes of deIiberation.
 The submission of this resolution to the electorate of the state can have no legal effect on the federal prohibition amendment, which was ratified by the required three-fourths Of the states in the Union. When originally introduced two years ago

TO REMOVE
 RESTRICTIONS

Copenhagen, March 19.---In a, talk with newspaper men in Berlin Herr von Braun, German under secretary of state, said the Enter4te had prom ised to remove restrictions on trade between Germany and the neutrals, especially as regarded telegraphic communication, and to mitigate the seventies of the black list system.
 Germany, he added, must provide for her own food supply, with the as sistance of the neutrals, conditioned upon her ability to pay. He pointed out that caution should be exercised in estimating the effects Of imports on the German rations. but said it would be possible to increase the flour ration. Bacon and pork supplies would be assigned particularly to workers who had hard manual labor to perform, and none of the supplies would go to strikers.
