LIQUOR DEALERS NOT APPLYING
 FOR REBATES

No liquor dealers in sthis city or in any other part of the county have yet turned in their licenses to the county commissioners and asked for a re- bate, it was announced today. Com missioner Frank F.. Ballard stated that a number of dealers had inquired what action they would be compelled to take if they decided to surrender their licenses.
 If a dealer turns in his license the commissioners make a requisition to the city or town where the dealer conducts his business. The license money has already been distributed to the cities and towns and, following an order from the commissioners, tho city or town treasurer would give a rebate to the dealer.
 As the license year consists of 12 months commencing from November 1 or December 1. according to what part of the county the licenes is To- cated, the dealer would be entitled to a rebate for the number of months the license was not used. There are over 300 retail licenses in this city.

SAVEY DEPL0RES ACTS
 AGAINST ITALY

Rome, Sunday. July 6-General Savy, commander of the French troops at Plume, says in an interview with the Giornale D'Italia that the act of some of his soldiers who re- gently offended Italians in that city by cheering for Jugo Slavia was 'most deplorable.'' He points out, however, that it would be a mistake to generalize and make the fault of a few that of the whole French con- tingent."
 General Savy says he did his best to be neutral in the question of Plume. especially as he has in his command some Serbian troops, but he adds that he understands the position of the Italians and that If he were in their place he would have acted like wife" Expressing his regret for the incident, he says:
 T am sorry there should be any feeling between two people who have faterntZed at the front against the common enemy. Italy ought to be compensated for her sacrifices. and when Plume is assigned to Italy, I shall be the first to rejoice from the bottom of my heart.'

 Imme ediately after the accident Major Scott climbed into the forward gondola and inspected the damage. He announced later that the rip in the gas bag could easily be mended. One explanation of the parting of the mooring rope by the dirigible's officer was that the rising sun had so ex- banded the hydrogen in the gas bag that the lifting effect had been fn- creased by eight tons.
 Major Scott announced definitely at noon that the R-34 would start on it's return journey at o'clock to- morrow morning, flying over Boston The R-34 will not circle New York before turning east, he said.

 Chancellor Murray on date of June 30 wrote Senator Brandegee as fol- lows:
 We the undersigned members of the Republican party of the State of Connecticut, respectfully urge that the proposed covenant of the league of nations should be discussed on it's merits and without partisan bias. We believe that according to both the principles and the record of the Re publican party, a greata constructive measure, looking towards the peace of the world, should receive the ear nest consideration of Republicans and their earnest support. And we also believe that the Republicans of the State of Connecticut, especially the soldiers and sailors returned from the war, and the prospective women vot- CTS, desire that a method by which international disputes can be more peacefully and more effectively set tied than hitherto, should be put into force without delay.
 The undersigned therefore urge that the peace treaty, which includes the constitution of the league of nations an5 depends upon 1t for effective working should be promptly ratified by the senate, with such helpful clar- ificatiOn as may seem advisable but without amendment or reservations in order that peace may be restored business released and machinery fol the prevention of preventable wars put into immediate operation.
