EXPECT SPEEDY
ADJUSTMENT OF
PHONE STRIKE
Rooms is Reported on Way to
Boston to Intercede in
Union Difficulty.
(By Associated Press)

BOSTON. April 1.-THE expected
arrival here today Of John c. Koons,
first assistant postmaster general and
chairman of the wire control board.
gave some hope Of a speedy adjust
ment Of the strike Of telephone work
ers which started Tuesday when the
young women operators in all the New
England states except Connecticut,
walked out. Yesterday the cable
splicers Joined the operators and to-
day a strike Of electricians which lead
ers claimed involved 10000 men In
twenty-three unions became effective.
Word that Mr.. Koons was on his
way here was brought by United
States Senator David 1. Walsh, who ar
rived from Washington late yesterday
afternoon. Senator Walsh said gov
ernment officials we're greatly con-
cerned over the situation in New Eng
land and anxious to have the trouble
adjusted.
What Mr.. Rooms method Of proce-
dure would be was not announced,
but it was understood that his first
step would be to confer with te!c-
phone officials. Miss Julia S. O'Con-
nor, who is leading the operators
strike, said last night that II he
sought a conference with union lead
ers it would have to be with repre-
sentatives Of the New England joint
council of electrical workers as the
walkout had passed the stage where
only operators were concerned.
Service Nears Normal
Exchange managers in several cities
outside the Boston district claimed
some improvement in service by the
use of volunteer and non-union substi
tute operators and in few places
it was said that service except over
the toll lines would be nearly normal
today. In Boston and the exchanges
in the immediate vicinity, however
business was virtually at standstill
and telephone bells in homes and of11
ces remained silent.
Young women who had been main
tanning picket lines about the ex
changes since Tuesday were relieved
of duty last night by men OF other
branches of the service, but returned
II to their posts this morning prepared
to continue their patrol Throughout
the day regardless OF the cold north
east storm.
Reports that substitute operator!
were being brought here from othe
cities led to an increase In the p1cKe
guard about the railroad terminals
and it was reported that union hote
i. employees had been asked to refus'
service to non-union operators.

TRIUMPH seen
BY PRESS FOR
LLOYD GEORGE
Address of Premier Before
Commons Applauded by
Many English Newspapers.
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, April 17.-While opinions
are divided regarding the substance
of the address Of Premier Lloyd
George before the house OF commons
yesterday there is a general agree
meut Of the London press that it was
q great parliamentary triumph as IN
deed. was shown by the rousfng
cheers Of his audience and the express
sions of individual members in the
lobbies. With the exception OF the
Laborite and Northcliffe newspapers,
none of the morning journals con-
demns the premier's statement wholly
while several warmly applaud IT,
These admit that Mr.. Lloyd George
revealed nothing of the peace terms.
but they do not complain.
The Telegraph for instance. says
that his general account of the terms
will give deep satisfaction" and adds
that she demolished the whole struc-
ture his critics built up on his sup
posed departure from his prediction
pledges"
The Express declares its belief in
the premier's statement that his
pledges will be found embodied in the
peace terms and says that he retains
the complete confidence Of the nation.
The Graphic is equally favorable and
says incidentally that Mr.. Lloyd
Georges statement Justified the as.
sumption that President Wilson has
abandoned his opposition or alleged
opposition to the sterner views OF
those powers which suffered most In
the war"
Fault With People.
| Those who attack Individual mem
! bers Of the peace conference when the
chief concern Of everybody IS the pub
lie interest are condemned by the
| Chronicle, which says:
| "If the peace terms eventually dis
appoint any sane expectation, tht
fault will lie less with the statesmen
in Paris than with the peoples they
represent"
The Post, which stands for the ex
action of most severe terms from Ger
many, says that the premier's address
is susceptible OF various interpreta
tions and that although Mr.. Lloyt
George declared his readiness to prln
the terms OF peace alongside OF hi
pledges, ut would be preferable II
l see the terms alongside Of the de
mands Of justice and security, and &C
cording to them in every particular.
The Danly News admits there ma.
have been serious reasons for with
holding information as to the term
Of peace, but in the absence OF evi
dence, mere declarations that al
pledges will be kept are idle. 1t is
fact that some of them have not beel

Victory Bonds Best
Offer for Farmers
By JESSE DRULY.

For many reasons the new Victory
bonds are the best investment ever
offered the farmer. The interest re-
turn. free from state and county taxes
is hish for any government bond ana
especially so for U. S. A. govern
ment bond, which Is the best IN the
world. The farmer, and other people,
too. thinks he can take only what
he has the money in hand to pay for.
That is a mistake. He will sell his
81. 20 wheat next fall, and in the mean
time some live stock and other farm
products at good prices. He should
subscribe with the idea in view tnat
he will have more money coming IN
during the next few months, and the
bonds are Just as good as cash. he
can do with them anything that he
can do with cash. II he wants to BUY
another farm, or trade the one ne mas
for a larger or better farm. the bonds
will be taken Just the same as cash
40. also. in an automobile trade or
any other legitimate transaction.
II he needs a little money. tempo
rari1y. he can borrow up to their run
value at any bank-and the interest
he pays is only the difference between
AZ per cent and per cent, Whlcn
is ~ per cent.
The war has made the farmer very
prosperous-even before the United
States entered the struggle. The
| farmer who has not made big money
/ the last three or four years is either
mighty poor farmer. or he has land
which will not produce anything
salable.
The government promised to main
tain a price of $2.20 per bushel foi
wheat-it will keep its word.
Let the farmer help the government
nav its bills and thus finish the Joo.

1t says the German negotiators at Yer
sailles will ask payment for damages
sustained from aerial attacks, from
the occupation of German territory by
the allied troops and for the delay in
concluding peace, causing a prolong
alton Of the Bolshevik and Spartacan
trouble.
KEEP TERMS SECRET
Germany will be forced either to
accept or reject the allied peace terms
by May Is, according to reports print
ed in Paris. It is indicated that no
reply is expected before May 6, the
peace conference being disposed to
give the German government what 1t
considers ample time in which to di-
gest the terms and frame its reply.
What action would follow rejection
of the terms by the Germans has not
been forecast In reports from the
French capitol.
The refusal OF Stephen Pichon, the
French foreign minister to divulge the
details OF the provisions OF the pro-
posed treaty while speaking in the
chamber OF deputies yesterday. and
the failure of Premier David Lloyd
George to speak In more than general
terms before the house of commons,
would seem to indicate that no init
nation of the terms will be made
public at present
It was announced at meeting OF
| the council Of ten In Paris yesterday
| afternoon that various articles OF the

articles would be disposed of today
It seems probable, therefore, that the
treaty is in a fair way to be COM
pleted within a very brief period.
Plan to Feed Russia.
Norway and Switzerland will act as
agents of the allied and associated
governments in feeding Russia, it has
been agreed at Paris. Representatives
Of France have made reservations on
the subject and these will be consid-

Russian elements opposed to the Boil
sheviki, but it is said to be probable
they will ultimately acquiesce In the
allied decision.
The question of the United States
becoming mandatory for Armenia and
the ancient province of CECILIA, to the
southwest, is again bing considered at

ASK LEGAL TRIO ID INTERPRET
 LIQUOR BILL.
County Commissioners Are Looking For Expert
 Advice.

Judge Fillmore s. Banks of Fairfield, T. F. Carmody of Waterpury, and Judge William F. Henney Of Hartford, will be asked by the county Commis- sioners of the state tG interpret the act passed by the Legislature of 1919, which relates to liquor licenses and prohibition. The commissioners of the state met in this city yesterday and voted to engage the three lawyers named to interpret the act and the powers and duties of the conlmis- sioners under it. Consequently any action taken by the commissioners of the state under the act, will be in ac- cordance with what the lawyers ad- wise.
 The commissioners had not been ad- vised yesterday as to whether the lawyers would accept the service re- quired of them to interpret the act. If they consent, the expectation is that there will be another meeting of the commissioners to frame the many questions on which they want advice Wartime prohibition be- came effective July l. The com missioners want to know whether holders of licenses are entitled to 8 refund of a, part of the license fee they paid the commissioners for a license to run one year.
 Many of these licenses under which dealers had to suspend opera ton, expire next Monday. Another question is whether the commission CTS. in view of the wartime prohibit ton being in force, have the right to issue a renewal of licenses 10 dealers who have applied for renewals. In some of the towns which had been no license, they will be license after Monday. The commissioners want to know whether they have the right to issue licenses in those towns, as ap- p1ications have been filed for licenses.
 Connecticut is one of the three of the 4S states of the Union that failed to ratify the eighteenth amendment, New Jersey and Rhode Island being the others. So far as the laws of this state are concerned, it is legal to sell liquor, but the wartime prohibition puts a ban on the sale of liquor here, and when prohibition under the eighteenth amendment becomes eff fective next January, it will be illegal 10 sell liquor in Connecticut.
 The legislative act of 1919, is gem eralIy regarded to have been loosely drawn, in view of other statutes re- lating to the sale of liquor on the statue books.
