Soldier Starts Suit
to Prove He Is Alive

GENEVA. May 1T is not often that a
man has the chance to sign his own
death certificate, but this has happened
to i French soldier named Bregot Of Bel
fort, who, although in good health. has
been officially reported as missing" and
then as KILLED"
He recently received a visit from a
gendarme who asked him II he were
BregOt, and, being told yes" asked him
to sign his name
The gendarme left and Bregot then ex-
amined the folded paper. and discovered
it was his death certificate.
Bregot has begun what will probably
prove to be a long legal process to prove
that he is still alive.

FORLD MODEL
INDUSTRY CITY
PROPOSED HERE
californian Says Indianapolis
Offers Great Future for
Humanity.
SPEAKS AT CHAMBER

Indianapolls-the model industrial city
Of the worldl
That should be indianapolis aim, ac-
cording to George H Maxwell, lawyer
and author, of SonOma, Cal, who adj
dressed business men at a luncheon of
the Chamber of Commerce today.
In his talk Mr.. Maxwell developed
plan ''for fulfilling the hopes aroused
during the war that the world wOuli
be made a better world to live in"
He advocated a great constructive plan
for making indianapolis the worlds
model Industrial city, where every human
problem would be solved, and solved
right-where every need for living
happy and cOntented human life would be
satisfied ;and at the same time system
eSf community life would be established
which would make it possible for indus
try to be proftably conducted without
destroying humanity.
DECLARES INDUSTRY
DESTROYING HUMANITY.
'The world over declared Mr. Max
well, Industry is destroying humanity,
under the present system Of industry and
life in industrial communities
Slowly but surely it is degenerating
humanity and setting in motion the
forces Of human deterioration that have
eventually destroyed every civilization
that has ever existed in the history Of the
world.
"The only difference is that those forces
of destruction are at work undermining
our civilization much faster than they
have ever worked in any previous period
Of history"
Mr.. Maxwell referred TO the back to
the land" movement as one holding no
as the movement is generally under
stood.
SAME OLD PROBLEM
OVER AND OVER.
It is useless, he said, to take man and
his family out OF the tenements and put
them on a farm, if the job he held re-
mains and is filed by another man who
takes the same job and moves his family
into the same tenement.
The same old problem is thereby in
stantly recreated.
Deep down under everything else lies
the solution, and there is only that one
solution, and that is to decentralize in
dustry, scatter the Jobs and the factories
so that every wage-wOrker can have 4
home of his own, with at least quar-
ter Of an acre Of ground. a lot say J0x
200 feet, on which a scientifically Trained
family can produce practically all the
food for. the family from their own gar
den and poultry yard with the family
labor"
He advocated that plan should be
made for the adaptation of the entire
industrial system and life system Of
the people Of Indianapolis to this great
fundamental idea.

 BALLOTS TODAY

Boston, April 27-Massachuset voters bal1oted today to elect four delegates at large to the Republican and Democratic national conventions and 35 Republican and 36 Democrat ic district delegates. None of the candidates for delegate at large ap- peared on the ballot as pledged for any particular presidential candidate.
 Several contests were waged in both parties for district delegates. On the Democratic side these had no direct bearing on presidential candidates. Among the Republican candidates several who have declared them selves in favor of Leonard Wood are opposed by men seeking to go to Chi cago unpledged. Indications point to a light vote.
 Principal interest centered in the contest for Republican delegates at large. Nine candidates, including four who are grouped, contested for the places. The group candidates, who under the law were voted for sepa- artely are Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Speaker Frederick H. Gil1ett of the National House of Represent atives, former Senator W. Murray Crane, and Edward A. Thurston, for mer chairman of the Republican state COIlfllLIee. senator LO0So mas an- nounced that he will present the name of Governor Calvin Coolidge to the convention if the governor de- sires it.
 The other Republican candidates for delegates at large are former Gov ernor Samuel w. Mccall, who has de- clared himself in favor of the nomina- ton of Herbert Hoover; former Lieut.. Governor Louis A. Frothingharn, who has announced that he will vote for General Wood, with Hoover as second choice; Congressman Alvan T. Fuller. who has publicly pledged himself to vote for Wood; Thomas W. Lawson and Russell A. Wood.
 Only five Democrats presented themselves to the voters. The reg ular'' slate is composed Of Senator David I. Walsh, Richard H. Long, twice Democratic nominee for Gov ernor; District Attorney Joseph c. Pelletier and Daniel F. Doherty. For mer Congressman Joseph F. O'Con- nell, the fifth candidate. made his campaign on his declaration in favor of an anti-prohiAbition plank in the platform to be adopted at San Fran cisco

POzNAN IS NOW
 BEING ALTERED

Poznan, Poland, April 27.-Poznan. which for more than a hundred years under German rule was known as Posen, is undergoing many alter ations as a result of the outcome of the war and the peace conference which gave Poznan back to Poland. Just recently, the task of changing the name of every street in town from German to Polish was completed, the task having been worked out by a commission which began it's duties soon a2er Poznan became a city of the new republic
 One of the principal thorough fares which had been known as Ber- liner strasse has been renamed the street of December twenty-seventh," this being what is considered the very last day of the Germans in Poznan. A great square in the center of the city, which since 1793 excepting an eight year interval after Prussia's de- feat by Napoleon (that being the year the Germans came to Poznan) had been called Wilhelm platz, is now known as Liberty Place. And a great statue of Frederick III which stood for years in Wilhelm platz, long ago disappeared, having been torn down by Polish residents of Poznan during the night of December 27, 1918 when there were riots and much street fighting between German and Polish subjects, the upshot of the demon strations convincing German of fcials that it would be useless to en- deavor further to continue Poznan iTl so-cal1ed German territory. The German soldiers began withdrawing that night. Gradually since then German residents have been leaving and many of them were born in Poznan or vicinity.
 Within the past fourteen months it is estimated that approximately 27,00O Germans have departed from Poznan, most of them being officials who held government positions under the German regime, and their fani- lies, and officers of the German army. Poznan city officials estimate that about 37,00O persons have moved to Poznan in that time.
 Poznan today is g city of about ITO, 900 inba bitants and considered by Germany prior to the outbreak of the war as the strongest fortified city on it's western frontier. All the old forts, redoubts and batteries buiH by the Germans still stand.
 When the Germans were in control forbidden. German is spoken so gen. eTaFiy in Poznan, however, that even under the white and scarlet flag of the new republic it is taught in a certain number of schools.

COMMUNITY BUYING.

Waterbury, Conn.,, April 27.-Ex- periments in community buying are to be tried here through the assist ance of public-spirited citizens, and based almost entirely on the excel lent record of a public market which was maintained for six months period of last year.
 The public market was more or less an exchange place for farm and gar den products. The value of com modities exchanged was placed by an agent of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture at more than $1,00O,0OO. In August 1919, alone, S292,0O0 worth of food was sold at prices under the current list which governed retail dealers.

French Lace Making
 Resumed

"Valenciennes Lace so diff cut to obtain during the war, is once again on the Ameri can market.
 ''The war completely demol- ished the homes of the work CTS and the little 4Shops in which were hoUyed their delicate looms. After the armistice, when the women returned to their native town, fine thread was not available. Finally, through the Americans, the women obtained small stocks, and again started work on the fine, filmy stuff so much sought after by women"
