The point is made by one investment
authority that investors generally do not
realize how rarely default Is made on a
foreign government bond. Even when
default takes place subsequent adjust
ment almost always reiinburses the

Egypt are examples of countries who's

Upon President Wilson's retire ment to private life, which takes place on Friday, leading statesmen of Europe were asked by the Interna- tional News Service to express their opinion of his influence upon world affairs. Premier Lloyd George. of England and Premier Briand of France declined to comment, saying their positions and the relationship of their countries with the United States made it impossible. The other mes sageS follow:
 LOUIS DE GER, Premier of Sweden-President Wilson's great ness lies in his noble endeavors for establishing justice and peace be- tween nations, If he did not sue 2eed as he wished the fault was not his own, but the worlds which was not yet ripe to understand his en- frightened thoughts. He is a man be- fore his time. The worlds history will give him full justice.

First Arrest
 For Abuse of
 StateAidFund

The first arrest for the abuse of the Soldiers State Aid Fund which is being distributed in Bridgeport through the American Legion and under the direction of Attorney w. Parker SeeIey was made today when Serico Feccerello of 110 Hamilton avenue was arraigned in court charg- ed with getting money under false pretenses. Although working in the Crane Valve company where he had drawn as high as S35 week and without dependents, Feccerello made a claim that he was without work and in poor health and had been re- ceiving $S weekly from the state fund.
 The arrest of Feccerello is consider ed by lesionaires as of first import ance for the reason that it gives evil dence of the fact that claims are be- ing carefully investigated and that statements recently made in New Ha- ven and Hartford that Bridgeport service men were wading through rest of the state are not true. The members of the relief committee are convinced that they have a clear case against the imposter.
 Fecerello claimed to have served in Butcher Company No. 30, from May 1918, to September. 1919. His ap- plication was received some time ago and from the pitiful plea that he made at the time he was allowed compensation. The claim was not the pressure at the time, but was reached last week.
 Albert Wheway ,one of the investi- gators of the American Legion and a member of Seeley's staff found that Feccerello did not live at the ad- dress that he gave, although he was known there to a. grocery store keep CT. Further investigation brought out the fact that he worked at the Crane Valve company and had been earning between S25 and S35 a week for Sev- eral months. He was arrested at the shop yesterday afternoon.
 Feccerello was rather defiant when accused of obtaining money under false pretenseS and told the Legion officials to go the limit as he had no money to repay them for the funds he had fraudulently drawn. He is held under bonds for trial tomorrow.

NO Inventory Yet
 Filed On EstNte
 Of Murder Victim
Only Trunk Left in Elf fleets of Mott, It Is
 Now Learned.

Although Attorney Abe Geduldig qualified on September 20 last as ad- luinistrator of the estate of George Mott who was murdered August 29. and the two months allowed by law for the filling of estate inventory has long since expired, no such in Ventory has been presented to the Bridgeport Probate court.
 This fact was learned today when the court was asked for information as to what if anything the inventory disclosed concerning a now famous trunk. The inventory was due in the Probate court on November 20 and there has been at least d technical violation of the law in such case by it's not having been filed at this time.
 The trunk is said to be in posses sion of the police who are holding it for evidence in the trial of Mrs. Mott. The police assert that Notts valua- bles, estimated by some to be worth s2.OOO were turned over to Attorney Geduldig. MT. Geduldig, who is Mrs. Nott's counsel, refuses to discuss the matter but implies that the affair is still one concerning the police alone.
 Two ways of getting the inventory before the court would be on order frdn 1ne judge of probate or on a eiqner directed to the administrator to show cause why the inventory had not been filed.

RUSSIAN SOVIET RULE THREATENED
 AS 3OO,O0O RISE AGAINST TROOPS
Builders Say Union Broke
 Their Pact

Albert w. Smith. president of the Bridgeport Master , Builders Ex change, seen by a member of the Times staff and asked about the con- drtions which led up to the carpen- ters' strike which is in force in the city at present, made the following statement:
 "On the afternoon of February 4, M. T. F'lanag business agent of the Carpenters Union. stopped all the carpenters working on job in North Bridgeport on the grounds that non- union electricians were being employ ed by George J. Steinhart on the same job.
 ''I was notified of the action of Flanagan by W. N. Tomlinson, the contractor whose carpenters were called off and who had employed Steinhart to do the electrical work on which were working the non-union men to whom Flanagan objected. In his communication to me, Tomlinson claimed that in his opinion the act of Flanagan was a violation of section three of the agreement in force be- tween the builders and the carpen- terS.
 of May in 1920 between the District Council of the Broth herhood of Car penterS and JoinerS of America and the Master Builders Exchange, is signed by the proper officers of the | two organizations and was to run un- til May 1St, 1921.''
 The section referred to as copied by The Times man from the origina. document reads as follows: Should any dispute or difference of any kind l of this agreement; or any dispute ol l difference arise in conniecton witT other trades, it is agreed that the par (Continued on Page Six)

} The instructions given by the heads of the allied delegations to this com mitte were in substance:
 ''First-The allied governments dez1 cline to discuss proposals advar with evident bad faith; -
 "Second-Germanys shall be reminds ed of her violations of the peace
 t'Third-The German government shall be informed of immediate steps the allies are determined to take in beginning to enforce the collection of Germany's obligations.
 The Germans today were merely marking time, awaiting the summons of the allies to hear the decision of terday's conference had been com municated to Berlin by the German delegates but up to this afternoon they had received no new instructions from their government.
 A report of the military operations necessary to compel Germany to meet the Allies demands for 226, ,000,O ,O00,- 900 gold marks ($56, O,00O,000) in demnity was delivered to the Allied premiers by the military chiefs at St. James Palace at noon.
 Following the meeting it was an nounced that separate statements had been made by Marshal Foch and by Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson, chief of the Imperial general staff. When the meeting broke up at 1880 the dis cussions were not completed and an other session was set for 5 o'clock at the British Premier's official resi- dence at 10 Downing street. Premier Lloyd George of England; Premier Briand of France and Marshal Foch drove to Buckingham Palace where they had lunch with King George.
