STAMFORD, Conn, Sept. 1s.-One
hundred and fifty guests at the Green
wich Inn, summer hotel at South
Beach, Conn, engaged in wild scram-
BILE this afternoon to get their finery
out of the building after an alarm Of
fire had been sounded.
The fire. as far as the inn was con-
cerned, was confined to few shingles
at the edge of the roof. A garage,
three blocks away, was burning, and
panic stricken guests of the Green
wich Inn feared that the inn was
doomed.
The garage was on the estate of
Edward j.. Lucas. 1t was destroyed.
Two cottages, owned by Louis Vrofut,
and cottage on the Greenwich Inn
premises, owned by Arthur J. Billin,
were damaged. The total loss was
estimated at $4,000.

Representative Bertrand Fl. Sneli OF

ter Wednesday. the speaking dates for

be made by Charles L. Hughes. Mrs.
Florence E. S. Knapp, of Syracuse, also
will speak. After the notification Judge
Miller will depart for Potsdam and will
speak Thursday at the Potsdam fair.
When Judge Miller was asked about
the probable fate of the newly elected
Socialist Assent blymen, he said:
THAT is a matter for the members of
doubt that they will act in accordance
with their Tconsciences. Naturally, I
have my own views on the subject,
which have not hesitated to express to
personal friends, but am not interfer-

man Glynn, when asked about the So

majority of the Republicans do not dis
eociate socialism from what hap
pened in Wall Street on Thursday, pos
sbly at the instigation Of the Red wing
Of the party. The state organization
as such will not take any position on
the subject. The expulsion of the So
cialists was not done by a party vote.

SCHALARSHIP OFFERED
 FOR DEMOBILIZED MEN
Have Choice of Course in Several Different
 Branches

Sometime ago the National War Work Council set aside a sum of money to be used for educational purposes among ex-service men un- der the direction of special commit tees to be appointed by local Young Mems Christian Associations. About half of this amount was to be used for Scholarships in Y. M. c. A. and other approved schools. As far as Litchfeld County goes, these scholar ships will be mostly in Correspon- dence Schools.
 Inasmuch as the amount available for this purpose is limited, the State Y. M. C. A. officers voted at their meeting in Hartford on Dec. 5th that it be our policy to grant only half scholarships in Connecticut, thus making it possible to help double the number of men.
 CCErses in various branches of the following subjects are available; l.. Electrical Courses; ?. Mechanical and Drawing Courses; 8. Steam Courses; 4. Civil and structural En- gineering Courses; 5. Commerce Courses; 6. Pure and applied Mathe- matic Courses; 2. Miscellaneol5 Courses.
 A committee representing the three associations of the County has been appointed and those interested should apply for further information to some members of this committee at once. Applications will be acted upon in order of receipt and scholar ships granted on the approval of this committee until the available funds are exhausted.
 The members of this committee gre as follows: John Halliwell, Tor rington, l. F. Mansfield, Winsted. Mason Turner, Torrington, John Pettibcne, New Milford, Eugene VanWhy, Winsted, Chas. F. w.

CHRISTMAS TRADE IN
 STORE AND POSTOFFICE
General Opinion is That It Was Very
 Good

We have deviated from our usual custom of writing on trade conditions this year and in it's place we have secured statements from a number of our advertisers. We feel that in this way the people and the mer- chants can more fully realize the true condition of business locally. Christmas trade was up to our ex- pectation and was very satisfactory. The Service Pharmacy.
 Christmas rush lasted about three days. The amount of mail handled was not as large as usual as we usually have about six days of stren- uous work. Postage sales were not as large as usual.-E. L. Roberts, P. M.
 We found business before Christ mas much larger than was expected. Christmas specialties sold exceeding ly good. Canaan Mercantile Go.
 We believe that the people are richer than ever before and that they believe the best is the cheapest Fuller Hardware Go.
 The Christmas business was far beyond my expectations and was never better at this store.-J. A, Bianchi.
 Business was good and much bet ter than usual at this time of year Weather conditions helped us consid- erably.-Benton & Wright.
 Holiday buying showed thel real Christmas giving spirit. Trade in ~ lines was very satisfactory.-G.ET Parsons & Son. T22
 I have had a good business during the year and satisfactory Christ mas trade.-F. R. Collin.
 Treasurer Canaan Savings Bank says business the past year was sat isfactory. Deposits have increased notwithstanding money withdrawals to meet the high cost of living and the forwarding of money to friends in foreign countries.
 The A. & p. Manager says: Was Xmas trade good? We'll, I'll say it was. My feet ache yet from running round this place. Never knew such a rush before. Great.

EVENTS OF 1919
 PASSED IN REVIEW
World Found Great Difficulty in Returning From War to
 Peace Conditions
By DONALD F. BI0os.

After nearly five years of frightrm
 warfare, in which all of the great pow
 CTS and many of the smaller natiosa
 had been involved, the world found tt
 difficult to, return to anything like nor
 maj conditions during the year 1914
 While the armistice which was signed
 in the closing weeks of 1918 brought
 cessation of hostilities between the
 two groups of nations that had bees
 engaged in the great struggle, 1t did
 not bring peace to all the peoples tn-
 volved. Technically the world stun
 was at war throughout practically an
 of the year just closed as the peace
 treaty which was framed in Paris
 after months of negotiation could noa
 be made fully effective until ratified
 by the great powers and formally pre- mulgated by the peace conference Failure of the United States senate ts
 ratify the treaty, because of opposition to the covenant of the League of Ma tions, which was made a part of the peace treaty, prevented the formal declaration of peace until more than year after the armistice was signed
 Internal disorders and territorial disputes arising from the establish ment of many new nations kept s large part of Europe in turmoil. Such complete remaking of the map of Europe as resulted from the great war naturally could not be accomplished without friction. The great empire of Austria-Hungary had fallen to pieces with the defeat of the central powers and out of the wreckage new states arose. These new nations-Austrlx. Hungary, Poland and the Czech anS Jugoslav states-could not establisa uieir new boundaries without frictiun among themselves and with their 'neighbors. The new government Of Germany, which had been transformed into republic, was striving to main. tain itself against the attacks of radt- cal elements. Russia was torn hy civil strife. with half a dozen groups fighting for the mastery. At times world peace seemed still far off, but as the year passed conditions became more settled and 1t seemed probable that with the formal promulgation ot the peace treaty the chaos into which Europe had been thrown would pass
 Tn the United States conditions were not so unsettled as in the nations that had been longer engaged in the war. but here, as in Europe, the transition from war to peace basis was not easy. New industrial problenrs mad been created. The high cost of living caused labor to make insIstent and re peated demands for higher wages and resulted in numerous strikes among all classes of workers. Radical leoA CTS took advantage of the unrest thnt existed to recruit their forces and they became so active that the con stituted authorities of the nation finally found it necessary to take de termined steps to suppress disloyal
