When Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. Wall, of

things in the drawers were thro

a trunk in which Mrs. Wall had S.

the thief took his departure through

trunk.

MERCHANTS INDIGNANT.
Claim That British Censorship Was
 to Aid English Trade.

London. July 23.--Dispatches from New York relating to the com plaint of the Merchants Association of, New York to the American postmaster general that British censorship Of American mails was being used for the benefit of British business inter- ests have aroused widespread discus sion in business and trade circles in Great Britain.
 The question whether this is true has been put in parliament and ths financial secretary to the war office replied that in no case have sufficient particulars been supplied to enable the statement to be investigated; that without any particulars it was, how ever, possible to give a definite as- surance that at no time had the Brit lsh censorship been employed to help British firms at the expense of their rivals in allied or neutral countries.

the people of this dry country a fluid containing more than one per cent of alcohol. Prof. l.. B. Allyn of the state normal school at Westfield, Mass, the famous pure food expert, has analysed many samples of but termilk and finds that almost all of them contain more than one per cent of alcohol because of the immoral tendency of buttermilk to ferment rapidly. If an intoxicating beverage is finally determined to he one with more than one half of one per cent of alcohol buttermilk will have to be cast into the outer darkness along with beer and Whiskey
 Under prohibition even the Churn thus becomes an evil thing. Those who have hitherto gone to the Churn and quaffed deeply, with a gratify- ing cXhileratiOn of spirits, are now eX posed as slaves of alcohol. Prea ching temperance with loud noise they have regularly taken their butter milk today and felt glad, They have frowned upon the nut brown ale and the rich red wine and all the time more than one per cent of alcohol has lurked under the innocent white ness of their buttermil<. But can we abolish buttermil1 as the law will probably require? We must continue to have butter and huttermilk fol- lows butter inevitably. Will the churn have to go. into hiding along with the still? Or will they pass a law to make us abandon butter and use olemarga rine? One cannot tell These are uncertain times. One goes to sleep with a bottle of ginger beer in the ice box and wakes up to find that he has a viper in cold storage and is fracturing the constitution. There is one consolation, however, re- spects buttermilk. Very few people have become addicted to the butter milk jag and if buttermill1 is banned the sorrow will not be universal.

our police forces for We cannot bring back the lives of the killed, but We can protect the lives of those left by ridding society of the killer. It is a hard thing to ccompiish-there are many killers in MexiCo-but we should spend our money and risk our lives in protecting the lives of those of Us who attempt to live there.
 Our Army has a duty to face, sad though the fact is in placing the thugs of Mexico behind prison bars, bloody undertaking for us but will be rather a question of transp portation of a large force of men to certain points where they must stand watch, beware of sneaks in the dark, and compel order. The Mexicans will no. fight unless the odds are greatly i'll their favor.
 MT. Fletcher testified that there was no individual in Mexico that we
 
 hope that a Header, strong enough to bring about order and give assurances of protection to Americans, may be found. The person who can tie to- gether the rowing bands of gunmen into a whole does not exist, we take it. Mexico, then, will continue law less. Possibly Carranza is not to blame. He has not the strength that he should have. There is no one to blame but the United States. We can remedy the trouble if we must. Our national self-respect demands that something be done Much as We wish to evade it, there is but one thing to do

FDETCHER'S STATEMENT.

I The statement of Henry r. Fletcher, made before the House Rules Com Smittee in Congress, yesterday. seems 3so lead to the conclusion that the Limited States, if it wishes to remedy fconditions in the land of the peons, has little option but to invade the fcountry, conquer it, and estab blish garrisons which will have to remain flor many years-until this generation : fof Mexicans, at least, has passed 1away and the coming one been edu- cated out of it's inherited bloodthirsty Ina bits.
 There were 30 murders of Ameri- : leans in the past three years, said MT 8Fletcher, which the authorities made , no attempt to prosecute. The larger number of Americans put to death was due to the predominance of our race over other nations. There was no special anti-Americanism, he stated. We suppose that the outla " element, which is too great down there, simply murdered the first who came across it's path, and the Ameri- cans were unlucky enough to be in the majority. It is too bad that our citizens were killed-very much too bad The Mexicans will not do any thing about it. What are we going to do? A
 The loss of half hundred of our citizens from the thoughtlessness and bloodlust of turbulent race is hard to swallow. We lose many more each Iayear through murders in the United {sEtates, but we do all that we can to un down the murderers and bring
 n to justice for the benefit of the
 of mankind. We spend thou

Those attend ing the meeting, which was holo m the trades union building. attempted to lynch the man who dred the shots but he was saved hy his helpers who were in the building.
 Several majority socialist meetings held late yesterday did not develop as smoothly and quietly as they began, Communists and Spartacans by pre-arranged plan smuggled fellow radicals into halls where the majority socialists were congreeated and there broke up the meetings by catcalls and other noises and even by violence.
 At countless meetings the majority socialist speakers gave up attempting to speak after half an hour of shout% ing and in the trades union building where the biggest meeting was held, chairs, beer bottles, glasses and even tables were flung in a successful at tempt to break up the gathering.

If true, the tale were worth a rhynl But 'tis a fable of old time. Lucretia never lived and died: The Romans feigned her in their pride To let Rome's high deal shine, That man might say it was divine To let the eyes of the future see How great Rome's woman dream

COMMUNICATED.

Several hundred purple lilac plants were set out this last spring in Waln ut Hill park which have a certain histOri- cal association, not without interest.
 They are planted on the right at the crest of the rise from the main en- trance and when they are grown will be readily seen from West Main street.
 These plants were given the city through the efforts of Mrs. C. H. Up- son and they grew in great profusion about her old home in Southjn ton, once the site of the encampment of the Count de Rochambeau with 5000 Of the French fighting in our aid in June, 17S1.
 This army was detained some days in Southington on account of fresh cts and the count occupied what was then the Deming tavern. about which grew the li1acs that have persisted to this day. -s.
 Now that our country has fulfilled its obligations to the French we can with pride uncover this bit of local history connected with that noble band of allies in that earlier fight for freedom and our park can proudly welcome these members of local Revolutionary history.

FOR THE VACATION HOUSE.

The pessmistic influence of St. arose this morning and vended our weary way to the scene of our daily toll. We awoke to cheerless world, mildeved with the dampness of the past few days--few days? No, ages and we took up the reins of our duties unrefreshed by even an outing of an hour or so for a week or two. There was no justice-none. Vaca- ton was useless to consider; toll was a bore.
 But a cheering spectacle arrived with the morning mail It was a check for twenty y-five dollars. Really and truly, whole twenty-five. Right away things were different. There is some hope after all. That twenty five did a whole lot for us
 Providing that your curiosity has been sufficiently aroused and that you have not deduced the answer to QUE aggregation of words from the head line, we will explain further. The check was from a 'Friend" and was to be given to the fund for the main- tenance of the vacation home in Avon which is being run by the City Mis- sion. It was merely another testi- monial of the merits of such a plan and it will prove very acceptable to Miss Bartlett, who is endeavoring to give as many as possible a good time on the money that she gets by sub scrlptlon. We have explained the scope of. the home several times You all should know what it is by this time. If you do not, the keeper has announced that she will give a tea for all who wish to look it over on next Saturday afternoon. So. if you have no other plans, jump into your machine and take a run over the Cherry Park road until you see a gathering of happy mortals taking a day off in the country. Judge for
 
 little unfortunates that you will see there in having another vacation.
 To return to the twenty-five: We had almost decided that the people Of New Britain had given to charities to the limit of their means and that there would be little use of continu- ing the campaign for more money. Slnce that time two checks have been received, one for five dollars and the one this morning. We are sorry that the donor refuses to give his name ; we would prefer to acknowledge it in that way. But we are glad to re- , ceive it and hope that more will be forthcoming. It need not be so much; small amounts are appre- ciated, We started out to raise two hundred dollars, We now have forty-tWo of it.

It is stated that this will mean a year. ly loss of business amounting to two million francs.
 As no shipments have been made to America for the last three years, it is felt that Americans have no proof as to the existence of insect menace and the authorities have requested through the consular channels that an American expert be sent to Ghent to test the soil and plants, in the hope that the prohibition will be Withdra Wn.
