MRS, W. i. HANGAR IS
 FAVORED CANDIDATE.
New Britain D. A. R. Will Not
 Endorse Mrs. ". C. Story

Although Mrs. William c. Story, Of New York, former president general of the Daughters of the American Revolution, has had the indictment against her charging larceny of war funds dismissed and has announced he. candidacy for reelection. 1t Is not likely she will receive the endorse fhent of the local chapter.
 Mrs. Story was indicted in 1918 for larceny of war relief funds. She de- nied her guilt and never was brought to trial. Limitations were made at the time that she was innocent and was ashouldering the blame to save the reputation of some one else.
 Yesterday at meeting of her home chapter, the Roosevelt Chapter, of New York, her campaign for re- election was launched officially.
 Mrs. Story has been entertained in this city number of times in past years. She never stayed over night but has been the guest at luncheon at various times of Mrs. w. c. Hun gerford, Mrs. w. F. Brooks and Mrs c. E. Wetmore.
 Although Esther Stanley chapter of New Britain, never expressed any official opinion on the charges against Mrs. Story the fact that she already filled two terms is felt to be good reason why some one else should be elected, the members say. No one has been endorsed here yet, but Mrs Wallace c. Hangar, of Washington, who has been endorsed by number of Connecticut chapters, is the favor ite candidate here,

OUR AID IN .
 EUROPEAN MIDDLE
British Pisss Optimistic Over
 Possibility of Our Intervention

London. Dec. 18.-Those news papers to which the British public looks for solid and conservative gui- dance completely reject the idea that an American loan to Germany IS probable or in present conditions pos sibl.. These journals base their skepticism on long reports from their correspondents in the United States who appear to have probed important sources of information over the weekend.
 The possibility of American inter vention in Europe's troubles still en- crosses attention here. Two or three of the morning newspapers reiterate with more or less striking embellish- ment last weeks stories concerning an impending loan. The consensus however, is that there is something in the wind" and that there IS dis tinct possibility that America in some way that has not been divulged, will take a hand in helping to solve the difficulties which hitherto have baf- fled European statesmen.
 Welcomes Our "Fresh Interest"
 The Times while deprecating exag- gerated optimism says that the ru- mors of American intervention doubt less have a substratum of fact. The newspaper welcomes indications Of "the frest interests and understand ing" the United States is showing In European conditions.
 The Morning Post also welcoming the obviously increasing interest Of the United States, thinks America "is beginning to recognize more clearly that sooner or later her own indus. trials prosperity must be affected by the political and economic conditions of Europe"
 The Daily News, although it does not regard American intervention foi the present as more than possibil' ity, says it is highly probable that such intervention would change the whole course of events in Europe"
 In all the comment there is a cleal eagerness to see intervention anc there are many indications that this desire is based on a confident belie1 in the high American ideals.
