.DltTleyIllen Are Not To
 Receive 3 Days Grace
BEsIEGE POLICE HEADQUARTERS THIS MORNING TO GET NEW
 MARKERS FOR 1920

Orders issued by Superintendent of Police John H. Redgate. allowing au- tomobile owners three days grace in which to secure their 1920 markers, struck an unexpected snag this morn ing, when it was announced at the of- fee of the Motor Vehicle department that all jitneymen who operate with 1919 markers after midnight toni ght will be arrested.
 This order was sent out from head. quarters in Hartford, and is now in the hands of every state inspector. Unless the ruling is rescinded before tomorrow, jitneymen operating under old licenses will be liable to arrest. It Is not believed that this order will also apply to peasure car and motor truck owners who will be extended the three days courtesy.
 On account of the new bond ruling, which provides that every jitney driver shall furnish & prescribed bond on January 1, it is probable that the Hartford order will be rigidly en- forced. According to latest advices, the Hartford authorities are deter mined to allow no jitney to operate after today unless the required bond has been posted.
 Persons who desired to secure 1920 markers before the first of the year, and who waited until the last minute before making application, found themselves decidedly out of luck this 
 By the time the first licenses were issued, the lower floor of police heaJd- quarters was practically jammed with people. The crush grew steadily worse until finally it became impos- Sible for a person to enter or leave the building without fighting a way through the chrowd. The throng was finally cleared from the building, how ever. when the police received an or der. to line up the applicants outside. A triple line of people formed outside the police building, and extended some distance down the street.
 Tomorrow being New Years day, the Motor Vehicle department office will not be open. No licenses will be issued from 4:30 o'clock this afternoon until o'clock Friday morning.

MAY NOT RATIFY
 LANG
Complications Develop ing Which May Again
 Cause Postponement.
SILECIANS WILL
 HOLD PLEBISCITE

Paris, Dec. 31.--Although the Supreme Council today fixed January 6 as the date for signing the protocol and exchanging notifications of the German peace treaty, complications are develop ing which, it is thought by some person in council cir cles, may again cause the postponement of the cere- mony of putting the treaty into effect.
 It has developed that the German technical delegates. who are here to arrange to multitude of details con- nected with the plebiscites to be held in territories which must decide whether they desire to be detached from Germany, do not appear to have full power to act. The signing of the protocol on January 6, therefore, may depend upon whether the Germans can secure those powers immediately in order to complete the arrangements which it is thought in council circles ought to precede the exchange of rat- ifications.
 The council today agreed upon the reply to be made to the note of the Swiss government applying for Switz- erland's admission to the League of Nations, with reservations The note informs the Swiss authorities that the council regards the application a question for the league itself to pass upon when it is organized.
 The fact that there are 80,000 Ger man troops in upper Silecia where a plebiscite is to be held brought to the attention of the council. which reach ed the opinion that Germany should be informed that the troops had bet ter be withdrawn.
 The attention of the council also was called to the fact that Hungarian troops continue to occupy a part of western Hungary which was given to Austria by the peace treaty. It is pro- posed to send a mission of Allied off cers there to supervise the withdrawal of these troops.

ARMY DEMOTI0N
 SYSTEM CAUSES
 2,146 TO RESIGN

Washington, Dec. 3O-The War Departments policy of demoting overseas men immediately after they reach this country is largely respon- Gble for the wholesale resignations of regular army officers from the ser vice since the cessation of hostili- ties.
 It was officially announced at the War Department that no less than 2,146 regular officers, from lieutenant co1onels- down to second neutenants, have left the service up to December 24. There was no record kept of the reason for each. resignation, but it is frankly admitted that the failure of the War Department to retain over- seas officers in their emergency rank is the largest contributing factor in the wholesale resignations. &
 The bulk of the resignations, of course, are of officers in the lower ranks, from captain down, but it. is significant that four lieutenant col onels and twenty-two majors have left the service because their demo- tien came at a time when the cost of living was far, in excess even o1 the period when they were lieuten- ants in the service.

3 SURVIVORS FROM BOAT ARE
 SERIOUSLY ILL
Had Clung to Wreck of Van Driel More Than 36
 Hours.

St. Johns N. F., Dec. 31-Hope that the heroic work of the sailors of the steamer Ingraham, who saved the three survivors Of the wrecked Belgian steamer Anton Van Driel yesterday at St. Mary's Bay, had not been in vain, was held out here to- day. The rescued men, who had clung to the wreck more than 36 hours and had seen their 26 ship mates die in the great seas which at times completely submerged the ves- sel, were brought here last night in a serious condition. They were se- verely frostbitten and their chance for recovery was still doubtful to- day.
 Their rescue, after they hal. been given up for lost, was accomplished by one of the most daring feats of seamanship remembered here. While the fisher folk from the bay settle ments watched from the cliffs over head, the life boat crew of the Ingra- ham worked their craft in heavy seas and between rocks to the lee of the wreck and found the three survivors virtually helpless in the wheelhouse.
 The Belgian steamer had been hurled on the rocks by the heavy storm of Sunday nightt. Twenty-four of the crew were. drowned in an at tempt to reach shore in small boats The 25th was swept back to the wreck after the lifeboat in which he had em- parked was smashed. and joined the four who had preferred to stick to the vessel.

 MEN VACATIONS

The employees of the Bullard Ma chine Tool Company will receive noti- fication today that a weeks vacation with pay will be given to all who on August 2S, 1920, have been with the company six months or more. This plan does not affect the vacation schedule for the office help and sal aried force.
 The company has decided to give vacatiods with the view of continuing production without lapses, due to men taking vacations at whatever period of the summer the recreation mood strikes them.
 For the convenience of the men, the company has established a Vaca- tion Bureau to provide any informa- ton wanted regarding summer re- sorts, travel arrangements, etc. This bureau will begin early to find stop ping places for employees and their families, who desire to go out of town for the week.
 The notification that is handed to each Bullard man reads as follows: The productive capacity of Bu11ard Mult-Au- Matte, Maxi-Mills and Verti- cal Turret Lathes is known and rec ognized the world over. On this &C., count and because the world needs production as never before in hiS- tory, the Bullard organization faces a period of great activity during which every member will be called upon to put forth his best effort without in- terruption or unnecessary absence.
 As an extra incentive for the con- tinued and sustained concerted effort ! necessary on the part of each and | every member of the organization, if we are to meet our planned produc- l ton schedule, and as an inducemen | to refrain from absence from work at any other time, as well as to pro- 1 vide oTt ortunity for rest and recrea- ton at time when it will prove most welcome and enjoyable, the | company proposes to close the plant | at noon on August 2S, 1920, and, /; during the week preceding Labor Day, Sept. $, 1920, provide a vacation 1 with pay, in accordance with the | following plan, to those who return | to work in their department when re- i opened on Sept 7, following the La | Dor Day holiday
