ROBINSON SAYS
 IT IS TO LAUGH
Town Chairman Amused Over Roraback's
 Coup.

'Yt is to 1augh,'' said J. A. H. Rob inson, Chairman of the Republican Town committee today when asked for comment on the deposing of John T. King by J. Henry Roraback as na- tiona1 committeeman yesterday at the meeting of the state delegates in Hartford.
 "How could Roraback have depos- ed King continued MT. Robinson, 'twhen King made no effort to retain his former position? In order to de- pose a man it is virtually necessary to oust him and this certainly was not done in this case for no effort was made by MT. King or his sup porters to send him to Chicago as na- tional committeeman.
 ffIt must not be supposed, how ever, that the selection of MT. Rora- back as National Committeeman is going to have the effect of disrupting the Republican party in this state. MT. and King and his supporters in Faireld and other counties of the state are working and are going to work 100 per cent. for the party the same as they have been doing in this and other years. The accession of MT. Roraback to the place reIinquish- ed by MT. King will prove no dis turbing factor in the Republican party as far as I can see.''

HUSS0N SPEAKS
 ON AUTO TRUCK
Many Traffic Managers Present To Hear
 Writer.

Joseph Husson of the editorial de- partment of the Commercial Vehicle, was the principal speaker at the noon time luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce at The StratfeId today, many of the traffic managers of the city and others interested in auto trucking being present to hear the address.
 MT. Husson spoke in part as fol- lows:
 One large fleet owner has reduced the number of idle truck days for re- pairs from 39 days to 10 days per truck per year by the introduction of the unit system of truck repairs. If the time of a fve-ton truck is worth $25 day. this means a saving of SIPS per truck per year or $7,250 per year for ten trucks and $14,500 for 20 trucks. There is nothing mysterious about the unit system of truck repairs and no limit on the size or make of trucks with which it may be used with equally good results
 This unit system of truck repairs is one of the new and important factors developed to lower the cost of motor truck transportation as a result of the great increase in the size of truck fleets.
 The unit system of truck repairs ranks in importance with the unit sys- tenn of labor control; the keeping of proper truck costs and the coming of the giant pneumatic truck tire
 The giant pneumatic truck tire has great possi bdhies for revolutionizing not only future motor truck trans portadon but the design of the motor truck itself. Today we are accus- toned to the four-wheeled motor truck because the horse wagon before it had four wheels. The truck of the future may have six wheels. two at the front and four driving wheels in the rear, all beneath the chassis frame. Thus loads of seven to eight tons may be carried on pneumatic tired trucks with tires no larger than now used on the rear wheels of the three-ton truck. Then again, the coming of the giant pneumatic tire may bring pneumatic brakes, like the airbra!kes used on all railway equip ment. Certain it is that the giant pneumatic tire will widen the scope of the truck and highway transport to fields heretofore undreaIned of.

 Berlin, March 30. 6:3o p. m.-CBy the A. P.)-Whether the Ruhr min ing and industrial district near Ger many's western border is to witness a red Easter appeared tonight to be wholly contingent upon the pacifying abilities of the Prussian minister of the interior. His task is to fnoIlify the labor elements and otherwise null hfy the effects of the methods adopt ed in the Ruhr by General von Waiter, commander of the government forces.
 Herr Severing. the new head Of the interior ministry, was this morning on his way to Essen, possessed of far-reaching powers, the granting of which gives rise to the belief that the military element has been wholly eliminated from the negotiations with regard to the situation in Westphalia. The appointment of Herr Severing by the government to conduct the nego- tiations, indeed, is considered to be tantamount to a discreet backdown from the ultimatum to the workers
 Withdrawal of General von Waiter is said to be in contem pfation by the cabinet as a further concession to the Ruhr workmen. In official quarters this evening it was declared that an armed invasion of certain sections of the Ruhr district would be unavoida- ble in the face of the increasing law lessness in the region.
 Berlin, March 51---Leaders of the three socialist parties here have sent an energetic udmatum to the gov ernment requesting that it respect the BielefeId convention and immediately suspend all military measures in the RTdar valley The government is given until 3 o'clock Thursday after noon to accept or reject this request Should it be rejected an immediate proclamation of a general strike will follow, Chancellor Mueller was in formed by a socialist delegate.
 The executive council of workers in the Ruhr district have at the last minute accepted some notifications of the governm ent's ultimaturn, ac- cording to the Gazette, and govern ment troops have received orders to await new instructions.

Warsaw, March 31-(By the A. P.) Willingness to commence peace ne- gotiations with Poland on April 10 and proposals for an armistice over the entire front are contained in the reply of the Russian Soviet govern ment to the Polish note of March 2T, the reply being received here this morning.
 The Soviet note suggests that the peace conference be held in a neutral state, preferably Esthonia instead of Borisov as proposed by the Poles. It is understood that it is probable the Polish government will refuse to agree to an armistice and will also insist upon Borisov as the place where Russian and Polish delegates will meet to conduct negotiations

Conversations over the German re- quest have been in progress between Premier Millerand and Dr. Won Mayer, the German charge d'affaires in Paris. M Mfllerand yesterday intli- cated he would give the German charge an early reply and it was handed to Dr. Von Mayer today.
 The reply read:
 Replying to your note of yesterday I have the honor to confirm to you the conditions to which the govern ment of the French republic desires to subordinate its eventual a;uthoriza- tion to permit German troops to enter the Ruhr valley.
 Such an authoriz- which would constitute a derogation of Articles 43
 and A of the Treaty of Versailles, could be Justified only by imperative and evident necessity. The comnis- sion charged with the control of the execution of the protocol of August 1, 1919, has expressed to me, as I in formed you in our conversation yes terday, its formal opinion, confirmed
 tary intervention in that region at
 present would be useless as we'll as
 dangerous
 Thus circumstances do not permit
 me at this time to grant the request of your government. must there fore reserve my definite reply to the proposition which you made me yes terday.''
 Premier Millerand concluded by ex- pressing the earnest desire of the | French government to do everything not inconsistent with the defense of French interests to facilitate the task of the German government Berlin has evidently been under | the impression that permission would | be granted Germany to use troops | for the purpose of restoring order in l the Ruhr region under certain con- ditions and for a limited period. A Berlin despatch on Tuesday states l that Premier Mueller had announced ] to the national assembly that France | had abandoned her demand for allied | occupation of the neutral zone and | had consented to grant Germany | from two to three weeks to employ a | strong force in the disturbed Ruhr | area. At the same time Paris ad- ] vices reporting the conversations be- 1 tween Premier MilIerand and pr. Von l Mayer indicated there had been no | positive decision in Paris as to the German request to employ troops and
 also that the question of guarantees to be offered by Germany for the | with drawal of the forces required | further consideration.
