biggest surprises" vet recorded in
this part of the county. 1t occurred

much of him that she wanted to see
him have the time of his life. She

had everything down to a fine sys-
tenn. There were ghosts and jack

oratiOns suitable to the Halloween
season. About 65 persons were
present, so or so of them being
cleverly masked.
Refreshments-dou in bas-
kets decorated with yellow and
black paper, were passed around.
There were apples also and home

GOOD and greatly enjoyed by the
guests. Victrola music added to the
atmosphere of festivity, and the sur
prise which Mr.. Newman so heartily
enjoyed was also one of great pleas
ure for all assembled.

MAIN STREET BLOCK
DAMAGED BY BLAZE
Mysterious Fire Does About
$4,000 Damage in Birn-
Baum's Building.

One of the stiffest battles the fire
department members have encoun-
tered in several months, did damage
estimated by Deputy Chief Eugene F.
Barnes at about $4,000 last night in
the block owned by M. Birnbaum at
587 Main street. 1t required about
two hours work before the recall
was sounded
At sos oc'ock last night an alarm
from Box Al brought out the depart
ment. The cellar of the block was
a mass of flames and the dense
volume of smoke that poured from
the building added to the work of the
fire fighters. This coupled with the
fact that the doors were securely
locked, necessitated some delay be-
fore the firemen could reach the
flames with water.
The cellar is partitioned off in
sections. It was evident that the
blaze had it's origin under grocery
store and market owned by A. Ba-
drigian and M. Ashekian. The blaze
was kept confined to the cellar, the
other, part of the building being
damaged only by smoke and water.
LII IAc b1IuDdu I'LL pldCo WHERE a
quantity of goods is stored. the
water did considerable damage, and
DIR. John B. Poyer, proprietor of a
drug store on the Main street side OF
the building, reports that much of the
stock in the cellar was badly
damaged by smoke.
During the progress Of the fire, a
small boy whose identity was not
ascertained, told a story of seeing a
man run away from the place in the
direction Of Clark street, just before
the fire was discovered The pro.
prietors Of the grocery store called al
the police station today and gave a
satisfactory explanation of their
movements.

TRUCE WILL CONTINUE
IN FORCE IN IRELAND
Today's Report Indicate SUI
prenle Optimism For VI
innate Settlement.

Dublin, July %, (By Associated
Press).-A more hopeful feeling pre-
vailed here today concerning a soIu-
ton of the Irish problem and the be-
lief was expressed that, although the
path to peace might be longer than
at first expected, a settlement even
tually would be reached. Meantime
the truce will be continued.
Eamon De Valera has not as vet
sent an answer to Premier Lloyd
George regarding the governments
terms for peace, and up to the pres
ent official circles have no better
means of knowing what the answer
will be than has anyone else Among
the visitors to De Valera at the Man
sion House today was A. W. Cope. as
sistant under-secretary in the office OF
the chief secretary for Ireland It
was he who signed the truce terms
on behalf of the civil administration
and has been one of the principal ad-
vocates of an amicable settlement.
1t was authoritatively stated here
today that De Valera had not made
application to the government for
the release OF members of the Irish
republican parliament who are in
prison and that although their re-
lease would be granted on his re-
quest it would not occur without it.
There is no immediate intention Of
summ oning the republican parliament
it was learned. Members of the re-
publican cabinet who were asked to-
day as to the reasons for the delay
in summoning the parliament replied
that to summon the parliament or to
ask for the release of the imprisoned
members to attend it would imply
that the situation had reached a more
advanced stage than had been at
tanned. They said it would imply
that definite proposals for acceptance
or rejection by the republican parlia-
ment were available.

INABILITY OF EX-SOLDLERS TO SEE
NEED OF TREATMENT PROVING FATAL
Wildwood Sanitarium Physi-
clan Says Conditions Re
garding Tubercular Veter-
ans is Very Serious.

Hartford, July 2S.-"Conditions in
Hartford in regard to the tubercular
ex-service man are very serious in
deed,'' said DR.. James E. Murphy to-
day. DR.. Murphy, as resident. physi-
clan at the Wildwood sanitarium, has
been closely in touch with this problem.
''The fault lies to large extent with
the soldier himself. Usually they are
young and do not realize the fact that
tuberculosis, if once contracted, is not
to be gotten rid of in a month or a
year, but is likely to remain permanent.
Having become chronic wanderers,
especially those who served in France,
they often cannot remain for the
proper treatment. A number of men
have left Wildwood of their own volu-
ton, without being cured. The gov
ernment is doing its best. The men get
their compensation, but as the work.
ings of the law are bound to be some
what mechanical, mistakes sometimes
occur. The American Legion is also
doing good work, although naturally II
deals with the problem purely from the
ex-soldiers standpoint and not from a
medical point of view.
''There are bound to be many un-
necessary deaths within the next few
years because of the mems inability to
realize the seriousness of their situa-
tion."
When asked if he believed that there
should be legislature compelling a
tubercular case to go to a sanitarium
ans remain there until cured, DIR.
Murphy said he believed that such leg
islatlon would be anticipating public
opinion by several years. The peo-
pie are not ready for this kind of leg
lslation yet,'' he said.
There are plenty of sanitaria in
the state. The government hospital at
Arlington takes care of the majority of
patients. Then the state home at
Newington takes care of the civilian
tubercular. l think that If we could
get whole hearted cooperation from the
men themselves the problem would in
a measure be solved, and /. yet their
point of view can be easily under
stood
