Berlin Dealers Dispense Only Soft
 Drinks, They Say
INSPECTORS VISIT THE TOWN
Federal Agents Find Nothing Out of the Way-Eathers and Sons in Jolly COasting Parties on Hill-Other- 
 News Items.

There has been no wood alcohol or whiskey received into Kensington since the passing of the prohibition enactment, was the statement made by cafe owners in town this morning. The deaths in Hartford have been caused by wood alcohol which is being sold to those saloonkeepers willing to buy it. The local cafe owners reiter- ate their statements made recently that nothing but soft drinks are being passed over the bar. One of the cafe owners was quizzed on the booze in- cident of several weeks ago when a New Britain man came to one of the Kensington cafes and partook of some ..soft'' stuff, resulting in temporary in- sanity. He claimed that the man did not obtain the liquor in Kensing- ton. ..
 The revenue inspectors were in Kensington and Berlin a few weeks ago and made a thorough examina- ton of the saloons but according to report nothing wrong was discovered.
 Old Boys Enjoy Themselves.
 A number of the "old boys in town were out in force last evening on the snow covered hills about the town, ] The youngsters had nothing on their dads when it came to race down the hill. Berlin street, for the greater part of last evening, was thronged with young and old who had their s}eds and t''double rippers'' to try their edge" Berlin street was more popular than Galpin's hill, as one could coast from Honiss store all the way down to Lincolns at the foot of Damons hill. Watchers were sta toned at Woodruffs store to guard against possible accidents.

the tinieSt lad and lass

Of the primary department in Mrs.
 Deming's class. The mems class of the Sunday school
 were those who did the work, And never 8 man among them could any one call a shirk. The tables were so pretty, it was truly
 a beautiful sight, With Christmas trees in the center, ~ts all glowing with colored light. The "Ohs'' and Ans of the young
 sters as they came at the supper Sent feeling of satisfa ction to the
 hearts of one and all. 'r How tasty the macaroni, and the sweet
 potatoes, too, And the walters with tray and pitcher
 had all that they could do To keep the plates supplied and the
 cups with cocoa filled (Nobody knows how often they were
 oyerflowed or spilled.) Then everyone had ice cream and one
 of younger class Happened to have a birthday, so in
 front of the little lass Was set a wonderful cake with six
 candles all alight, And all her little companions were
 presented with bite. Miss Slaght then told two stories
 which with pleasure were re- ... ceived As we sympathized with Arta ban in
 the victory he achieved. Then up the stairs ,trooped the chill
 dren to be entertained there. When all were seated quietly, each in
 a. little chair And after all were settled, we sang the Christmas songs, Til the hearts so full of gladness
 seemed to hear the angel
 throng
 A Christmas carol next was sung, by
 Miss Elton's class, of course And then we had a solo by Harvey
 Nourse.
 The vegetables and flowers before our
 fascinated eyes Walked right out of the garden and spoke pieces just as wise As though they were really children,
 and were sweet as they could Daffodil and four o'clock, poinsettia,
 peony,
 Bluebell, Buttercup and daisy, carrot,
 beet, and then away, They marched: around the room to
 show their colors bright and
 gay.
 Our dear good superintendent remi-
 nisced for quite @ while, And many memories Wakened that
 caused the folks to smile. Suddenly the curtains parted and be-
 fore our startled gaze. Appeared a wondrous Christmas tree with electric lights ablaze Then outside, terrific racket, and there
 was Santa Claus All dressed in red and eager to talk

FOOD CONDITION
BAD IN GERMANY

Paris, April THE food difficult
ties in Germany were by no means
solved by the signing of the food
agreement. Tonnage is unavailable
to move the required supplies and
the available grain stocks are so
short it probably will be impossible
to furnish the full amount specified
in the agreement for some time. =,
Herbert Hoover, director general
of fnter-aliied relief organizationa
estimates that he can furnish Ger
many 10000 tons of grain during
the month of April. Howeer, Ger
man estimates that the German
grain and potato stocks will. be ex4
hausted before June are correct.
Mr.. Hoover expressed the belief that
it is questionable whether food en-
ough can be supplied to tide Ger
many over until the next harvest,
particularly as German ships in
which the bulk of the food must be
transported cannot land cargoes In
Germany inside of six weeks.

A SPLENDID STATEMENT

The following Interpretation by
the Greensboro IN. c. News of the
nationwide thrift campaign, being
conducted by the Treasury Depart
ment through the Federal Reserve
Banks, is one of the best we have
seen.
at (the thrift movement) has be-
come more, much more, than
means of raising part of the extra
ordinary revenues made necessary
by war expenditures and engage
ments. The Government not only
evidences a realization of the fact
that the spread of the practice of
saving would be good thing for
the nation, and for the individuals
themselves.
''It is clear that the government
belneve the unprecedented expert
ences through which the country
has passed in recent years make
possible a fundamental change in
the habits of the people, Of very
considerable number of them.
mot only makes it possible. but
affords an opportunity which only
needs systematic and vigorous culti-
walton, and presently we shall see a
plant, hitherto occurring but sparse
ly in this country. in vigorous
prolific growth. The Government
not only recognizes these circum-
stances, but is determined to fulfill
an obligation which exists in this
connection"
In other words, to increase the
practice of saving CD is good; CD
is possible; (3) is opportune; and
9(4) is an obligation resting upon
the Government which the Treasury
Department is determined to fulfill
by enlisting the cooperation of ev-

PEACE TREATY
Viii be ready by Easter says
David Lloyd George. A
better feeling


Paris, April THE preliminary
peace treaty will be ready by Easter
and the Germans will be asked to
come and sign it at the end of April
or the beginning of May, Premier
Lloyd George, of Great Britain, de-
clared in an interview yesterday
with Stephen Lauzanne, editor of
the Matin.
In answer to a remark by M. Lau-
zanne that what troubled public
opinion was not so much the delay,
as the secrecy in which the peace
negotiations were wrapped and the
fear that there was some divergence
of opinion, the British Premier said
ST affirm absolutely that there is
no divergence among the negotia-
tors. They are often confronted
with the technical difficulties which
can only be settled after close study.
Take the question of reparations.
In substance, the allies have one
common principle which I once set
forth thus. Germany must pay up
to the last farthing of her power
"But is it sufficient to draw up a
bill and hand it to the enemy? Must
we not require guarantees and must
we not study the terms, methods
and forms of decayed payments?
Must we not be able to say to our
adversary when he pleads inadequa-
cy of resources: Yes, you can go
as far as that and your must do it
and you must do that In a word,
shall we simply present a bill or
collect the money, all the money
possible? Well. that is where the
work comes in, slow and difficult
work complicated by the fact that
technical experts of the highest ca
pabilities and great experience are
either as to the method of liquida-
tion or as to the assets to be realiz-
ed.
mo, there is no divergence among
the negotiators, but, alas, there are
inevitable ones among the experts,
often among those from the same
country. Who is to decide between
them if not the negotiators and do
you think it can always be done
quickly?"
M. Lauzanne remarked that what
public opinion could not understand
was why before everything, Ger
many was not handed full bill no
matter what amount, and forced to
admit full liability.
"And who says we shall not do
so?.' cried Premier Lloyd George.
who says we have not decided
that?
mo one," the interviewer inter-
rupted, .'has said that you have de-
cided it,

CHINA ASKS
THE POWERS
To Nullify the Demands of
the japanese which
were made at
POINT OF BAYONET
POINT

Paris, April 7.-Nullification of
the twenty-one demands made by
Japan early in 1915 is urged by the
Chinese government in an official
statement cabled from Peking and
received by the Japanese peace del
egation Saturday.
The Peking statement declares
that the japanese treaties and notes
forced upon China in 1915 should
be abrogated because their terms
are incompatible with the principles
upon which the League of Nations
is founded" The statement is
largely a reply to a recent statement
made by Baron Maxine, of the Jap
anese delegation, on the position of
Japan.
"Since the Japanese delegate, in
Paris" the Chinese statement says,
has pointedly referred to the twen-
ty-one demands, it is incumbent up
on the Chinese government to draw
attention to the fact that China's
acquiescence to terms subversive of
her own interests were secured by
an ultimafum to which she was fore
ed to surrender because of the pre-
occupation of the rest of the world
in the European war. 1t is a fact
that the terms were imposed upon
China at the point of the bayonet,
the example followed being that of
Prussia; the extension to ninety
nine years of the lease of Port Ar
thur and South Manchurian rail-
ways concessions being precisely the
German Shantung terms.
I'm a subsequent agreement Sc
cured by Japan under the former
cabinet the principles that followed
have been equally dangerous, not
only to China's liberty of action, but
to her very independence.
The statement says that the claim
of Japan to special privileges be-
cause the Japanese expelled the Ger
mans from Shantung, contrasts odd
ly with the failure of the Americans
to claim the railways and mines of
France, although the Germans were
expelled from Alsace and Lorraine
by the cooperation of the American
army. 1t says that the American
army of 100000 lost more than
sixty times the number Of lives that
Japan claims she lost at Tsing-Tao.
The statement also comments on the
fact that England is not asking Bel
gium for a single concession, al
though Flanders sis one vast ceme-
terry where English soldiers are bur-
ied.''
Improved modern news distribu-
ton in China, the statement contin-
ues, keeps the Chinese fully advised
of daily happenings throughout the
world, and "irredentism Is already
raising its head, not only IN Korea,
but throughout Manchuria and
Shantung as well, foreign issues oc-
cupying almost exclusive attention
to the detriment of domestic adj
vancement.''
