MAKING READY TO !.
FIGHT INFLUENZA
Special Hospital Will be
Opened Here If It Is
Necessary.

A very important meeting was held
last evening in Mayor Conaway's of
fee, attended by county health officer
Yost, City Health officer Criss, Mrs.
Joseph Roster of the Red Cross and
Miss Winfield OF the Public Health
Nursing service. The meeting con-
cerned the possible increase Of in
fluenza in this county and much SYM
pathetic discussion took place. The
city has not the funds to care -
another flu epidemic which is now
threatening but 1t was felt that the
Red Cross might help out on the sit,
uation should influenza continue to
spread. Already many cases are be-
ing reported each day with many not
reported. While the city is not GER
tain the spread of the disease will
mean that public aid is necessary, it
feels that plans should be made to-
ward handling anything out of the or
dinary which might arise. The plan
for establishing another flu hospital
Is being considered though so far no
place Of establishment has been
thought OF. Much influenza seems
to be on the East Side with most cases
In Lincoln district outside OF this.
At Watson, at Norwood and in out
lying suburbs the disease seems to
be attacking vigorously though doctors
say it Is not as bad as two winters
ago either in severity or. resulting
deaths. Whether the bad weather is
responsible and tile disease will dis
appear just as soon as this moderates
remains question. In the meantime
the city is keeping in close touch with
conditions so that it may help all
possible should the urgent need arise.

BERLIN, Feb. 6. = Field Marshal
Bnelow told the Lokal Anzefger today
that Germans whose names are on the
list of those whose extradition is de-
mand by the Allies "only did their
duty to the fatherland" and that ca.
tradition was ignominy to which no
German, r5iSd voluntarily submit.
The Field Marshal declared he
would DeveT place himself at thesdis-
posal OF the Entente nations and ex :
pressed the belief that most of the
Commanders named iii the allied list
would take the same view.
( 1T is understood that meetings of
army and navy commanders were held
on January 2 and It was unanimously
concluded that evasion of the. extra
dition clause of the Versailles treaty
was. entirely compatible with German
honor and that no one must yoluntar-
lily surrender. Legal objection should
be lodged against orders for the arrest
of any OF the commanders, 1t was de-
cided at these meetings. >
The government has issued to the
press "a proclamation reiterating its
opposition to the extradition demands
and declaring 1t cannot be fulfilled by
this or any other government. II the
present government is forced to give
way to a new cabinet composed of
Independent Socialists or other fac
tions the same situation will prevail
1t is said.

As a matter of fact, declares Mr.
Roosevelt without a blush, the United
States has about twelve votes in the
+ assembly" II appeared from subse-
quent remarks that he arrived at his
total by counting upon Haiti, Santo
Domingo, Panama, Cuba and seven
other Central American countries not
named to cast their votes as the
United States might dictate. In max
ing that computation Mr.. Roosevelt
has INDUCED in most violent
assumption not flattering to the sensi-
bilities or independence Of the coun-

actual colonies, England has six votes
in the league assembly, while the
United States would have but one. If
we enter the field of conjecture as to
how many other votes either country

as likely to increase the preponder-
ence Of England as 10 lessen it.

says that European powers are plan
ming TO revise the league Of nations

publican. OF course il is very consid-
crate Of the statesmen Of those coun-
tries 10 offer TO do our thinking for
us, but American Senators feel quite
competent in that direction them
selves. European interests were ex-
ceedingly well cared for while Mr..
Wilson was assuming to represent
America, a fact fully realized by
Europeans. Now that Republicans
are about to take charge Of our for
eign relations, the diplomats Of
Europe are becoming very apprehen-
sive that Americas treaties in the
future will consider America first.

 The men refer to the strike as a vacation which they claim they are entitled to after the strenuous work they have performed since the rail- road was returned to its owners by the governme
 They are unable to say when the vacation will end but believe the men will return to work when the demands for increased wages and an eight hour day have ben adjusted.
 The baggage room and platform at the local station were piled up with parcel post matter which arrived this morning. Many shippers are now using this method of forwarding goods to customers.
 There is no change in the condi- lions at the steamboat dock large consignments of freight are piled up all over the freight house and truck men and helpers are busily engaged in sorting out their goods.

 OF WILL SOUGHT
Doubt As to Who Inherits Property of Resov-
 sky.

The first case in Connecticut where the office of the Alien Property Gus todian appeals to the Superior Court for interpretation of will is that of Louis Resoysky, who died in this city in 1918 and left a will on the same piece of paper on which his wife, Julia, drew up hers. The case is also unique in that it is the only one in Judge Miller's office where a will of living person is filed with those who have died.
 The will is so drawn that it's mean ing cannot be interpreted and there is doubt as to whether the wife gets the property internationally or whether she merely gets life use of il and that on her death it goes to rela. lives in Hungary.
 The Alien Property Custodian haS notified his Connecticut representa-. tive, Attorney Frank k. JamroZy O. Stamford, to bring action in the Su perior Court to discover the exac meaning of the will. The estate in wolves about $6,00O.

FOX TOWERS
 OVER BROWN
Selectman's Story Differs Greatly From
 Opponents.

Standing erect to his full height of six feet and doubling his fists, former Selectman Charles s. Fox of Fairfield showed in the Superior court this morning how he is alleged, to have lowered above James E. Brown at the time of the dispute with Brown in 1916. Attorney Jacob B. Klein, coun- sel for Brown, brought out the fact that Fox weighed about 225 at the time of the trouble while Brown is much shorter and weighs about sixty pounds less.
 Foxs story of the trouble differed consid deraEbky from that related by Brown. Fox said there was some dig pute about the prices of tires and when Fox saw Brown reaching to- ward a drawer in which there was a gun, he bent Brown back in the lat ter'S chair.
 He denied skipping Brown in the face or kicking him. Fox also denied that he called Brown liar. Fox claimed his arm was badly bruised as
 a. result of the blow received when Brown threw a heavy stick at him. Fox admitted he had trained ir athletics and that he had boxed but Judge Curtis refused to allow further questions regarding Fox's career in
 the ring. Brown claims he was badly hurt as a result of Fox's assault and | he asks 5000 damages. Brown owns a garage in Fairfield and is also clerk | of the fire department there. The trial was still on at press hour.

BISHOP CALLS
 REDS VICTIMS
Restless and I.awless Forces Hide Under Snug
 Content.

Boston, April 21-Bishop William Lawrence, addressing the annual con- vention of the Massachusetts diocese of the Episcopal church, which open ed here today. charged that many persons classed as radicals and Bol- shevists are victims partly of the stupidity of some industrial leaders who have hired their bodies but have no interest in their employees minds and souls. in which they are thinking, how they live, and what they are"
 "We stand help1ess,'' said the bishop, ''as we read reports of the terrors of Bolshevism in Russia and elsewhere, and the awful passions of the mobs from below. Much of it is the reaction from autocracy and un- just and unmerciful rule of the past But did not our little taste of mob power in Boston last winter suggest to us the restless and lawless forces that are hidden under the crust of our snug content? What is true here is as true in every city and town in this country

The note further requested that Germany be allowed to retain the en- tire general staH and corps of officers, which means the entire framework of the active army. It proposes that the forces she Is permitted to main tain be divided as follows:
 Twelve divisions of infantry, with a complement of artillery; three di- visions of cavalry; five special bri- 2ades, composed each of two regt- ments of infantry and two groups ot artillery. The note also asks for one battalion of heavy artillery for each division of infantry, 160 airplanes di- vided into eight groups and four special companies of troops for rail- way work.
 Two other German notes were handed to the foreign office at the same time. The first referred to the disbandment of the civic guards as demanded by the allies. Germany on April 19 presented this note, an nouncing the decision to disband the guards, to General Nollet, head of the allied commission of control in Der

lin and it has already been made public. The second note embodied requests that the Reischwehr force in the neutral zone should be fixed according to the number of men in stead of number of units, and that Germany be allowed to have eleven batteries of artillery instead of two in the neutral zone.
 In French official circles the Ger man requests are considered as mere Iy one move in the systematic offen- sive against the treaty of Versatile It was pointed out in this connecio 0 Il that if Germany were allowed to re- tain the general staff and the corps of officers the German army would differ from the army of 1914 in nothing but the facility with which the rank and file could be mobilized, the fraIhe- work being always ready to tring the full fighting strength of the country to bear.
 France, it was indicated, will stout ly resist any concessions affecting the strength of the German army or the framework of the organization as stipulated by the treaty.
