SACRIFICE THEIR DINNER
Congregation Give Proceeds of Auc
 ton to Near East Relief

An unusual plan whereby members of the Congregational Church at Brooklyn, this state, raised money for the Near East Relief by sacrific- ing their Sunday dinner was ek- pi&Lled in a letter accompanying c check received by State Director E. H. McDonough from Reverend John R. Pratt, the pastor. The letter is as follows:
 "A few days ago I invited the people of this little community 10 sacrifice their Sunday dinner fer the Near East Relief. The Sunday din ners were, however, prepared and brought to the town hall on Monday evening where they were auctioned off. More than fifty dollars was re ceived. Some money has since come and l have the pleasure Of enclosing check for $G3.75."
 In the same mail came a contribd- tion of $67 from the Mrs. Twiss Circle of Busy Bees, Jablocn District, Hazardville, $20.25 from the Cir! Scouts of Scotland, this state and $92.75 from the school children of Rockville, forwarded by Superinten- dent P. M. Howe.
 Reverend Herbert D. Rollason, pastor of the South Congregational Church of Middletown is arranging union meeting of all churches of that city on January 18th, State Director McDonough announced, at which there will be a prominent speaker on the conditions in the Near East. The three-reel picture "Alice in Hungerland" will also be shown.

NO TRIAL FOR DEAN
Indicates States Attorney Unless
 Further Evidence is Secured

Unless additional and much more damaging evidence than already pro duced is brought against Henry Dean of South Norfolk under arrest and locked up in the county jail at Litch- field charged with the murder of Joseph M Parsons, the South Nor folk farmer, and the shooting of Miss Mary Parsons last June, the accused is expected to be released from GUS tody very soon. State Attorney Walter Holcomb of Torrington is said to have indicated that the case against Dean is not strong enough to warrant taking it to trial and belief is entertained in certain quarters that the state will not prosecute him on the murder charge. That the case against Dean will be dropped some time this month when the superior court is in session at Litchfield is the prediction coming from Litchfeld.
 It has been learned that the per son, suspected by some of the county authorities of having had a hand in the crime formerly lived in South Norfolk, but is not a resident of that town today. No arrest is ex- pected to be made right away, it was stated, the investigation yet being in its infancy"

SEEKING NEW MISSION
 FIELDS IN THE JUNGLES
Rev. Francis B. Barnett
 on Mission to
 Liberia ,F

Two Pennsylvania Clergymen will plunge into the Wilds of the Black Republic, of Liberia where only two white men have been before, one ot whom is Rev. Francis B. Barnett, a former Canaanite, where his father was Rector of Christ Episcopal Church for several years and who IS a summer resident at Twin Lakes.
 The widest depths of Africa will be penetrated by two clergymen ot the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Pennsylvania who will leave Phil adelphia next week on a missionary inspection trip through a section of the Republic Liberia. The purpose of the trip is to determine whether conditions in that country are suit able for an extensive missionary campaign.
 The Rev. Francis B. Barnett, rec tor of St. David's Episcopal Church, Manayunk, who served as chaplain of Base Hospital No. 15 in the A. E.. F. and the Rev. Thomas R. Hazard, assistant at the Country Center Mission in Bucks County, are the men who will make the trip, and they will probably be gone until May
 In discussing the trip MT. Barnett yesterday said the purpose is to come to a decision whether the section of Liberia to be visited is a suitable one for the location of a somewhat ex- tensive missionary enterprise. The areas which the clergymen will eX- plore covers a practically unknown district of the Black Republic in what is known as the Hinterland or "back lands". It is about fifteen days jour- ney from the western coast of Afrl- ca, three degrees above the equator.
 The clergymen are counting upon finding conditions such as will justi- fly MT. Barnett in leading out group of people for missionary work in the Liberian "black lands" early in 1923, with the approval of Bishop Rhine lander.
 "As far as known only two white men have ever gone into that part of Liberia, MT. Barnett said yesterday. One was Captain Wallis, of the English Army, in 1908. The other was the Rev. MT. Ramsaur, one of our missionaries in 1919. Both these trips were brief in time; limited in area covered and without a definite object Those journeys, too, suffered somewhat from lack of equipment to make records as to climatic condi tions.
 Thanks to the generosity of an interested friend, this trip of inspec tion can be made with an equipment and personnel adequate enough, one hopes, to obtain satisfactory results.
 "We will leave New York on the Baltic, January II, arriving in Liverpool January 23. Leaving Liverpool January 25, we expect to arrive at Freetown, Sierra Leone, about February 5. From that time on dates cannot be counted on, but we hope to spend about month in the north western area of Liberia, and then working our way down through Liberia, some fifteen days journey to the coast, taking the first available steamer for England CT Spain, and then home again."

NEW TREASURY CERTIFICATES
Thrift Stamps Will Be Accepted
 as Part Payment

Much favorable comment regard ing the new issue of Treasury Saw ings Certificates is being received by F. c. Ayres, Government Savings Director, First Federal Reserve Dis trict, from all parts of New England. A large number of $1,000 maturity value certificates has already been sold by the Boston Post Office, and many similar reports have been re- ceived from other first class post offices of the district. The fact that these certificates are bought at a minimum price and increase aUtoma- tically in value every month, thus precluding the possibility of loss of either principal or interest, and pro viding an income rate of F e com pounded semi-annually, is a strong argument in their favor.
 After January 1st 25 cent Thrift Stamps, the sale of which was dis continued on December 31st, will be accepted toward the purchase of either Postal or Treasury Savings Certificates, at their face value, or may be redeemed in cash.
 The sale of War Savings Stamps ceased on December 31st, but those stamps now outstanding will mature on January 1, 1926, at $5 each, and may be applied toward the purchase of Treasury Savings Certificates, or may be redeemed in the interim at the values shown on the certificates to which they are affixed.

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

The League of Nations, though functiOning without the cooperation of the United Sutcs accomplished much during the year, chiefly through it's council. which met in Paris on February 21 and immediately referred proposed amendments to the covenant to n committee. President Wilson, who during January lad withdrawn the American representatives from the council of ambassadors and the repa- rations commission, OH February 23 sent to the league council q strong protest against the inclusion of the island of Nap in territories subjected to the mandate of Japan, and also formally demanded for America voice In the disposal of the former German colonies. The council in re- ply said 1t was not concerned with the allocation of Tap to Japan and invited the United States to take part in discussions concerning the Turkish and African mandates. A month after the Republican administration took office Secretary of State Hughes reit- erated Mir Wilson's stand concerning Yap and mandates fin general, and later France and Italy indorsed Amer ica's position in the controversy over the island, though Japan formally re- fused to give up her mandate. There after that dispute was the subject of long drawn-out negotiations between the United States and Japan which led to a treaty by which the United States was assured equal rights in Tap and other islands mandated to Japan.
 The council of ambassadors in Janu- ary gave Germany more time to dis arm, appointed a commission to pass on Austria's economic status, decided that Latvia and Esthonia should be recognized as sovereign states, and then fixed the German separations at 226, ,000, 900, 900 gold marks, payable in annual installments, and 12 per cent tax on exports during the period of payment. This separations decision created consternation in Germany and Berlin at once began efforts to per Suade .he United States to intervene, in her behalf The Wilson administra-
  2 Secretary Hughes informed Ger many the United States would not countenance her escaping full respon- sibility for the war or getting out of paying to the limit of her ability. A few days earlier, Berlin having failed to make the first payments, French troops occupied Duesseldorf, Duls- burg and Ruhrort. The British ob- iected strongly 10 this independent action and France withdrew. It would be tedious to detail the negotiations over the separations bill. Suffice 1t to say that Germany, with Doctor Wlrth as chancellor, was compelled to ac- cept the figures of 5000, 100000 gold marks finally decided on by the su- preme council, made the payments due during the year but on December IA, announced that the in major part of the sums due in the early part of 1922 could not be raised. And since many economists agreed that to drive, her into absolute bankruptcy would be disastrous to the rest of the world, toward the close of the year there was increasing talk of arranging a moratorium of two to three years for her. France was the chief objector to such delay, as she relied on the money due her from Germany, but
