liners now running directly between New
York and points in Europe, may change
their schedules and make Halifax a port
of call, it developed today, after the
Supreme Courts ruling permitting United
States vessels TO sell liquor beyond the
three mile limit was made pubIic. The
plan Of stopping at Halifax had been dis
cussed before, when it appeared likely
that Attorney General Dougherty's rul-
ing was likely to remove the right of
United States vessels to sell liquor. 1t
cropped up again ,0day at a hurried
meeting Of the officials C. foreign and
United States shipping lines at the office
of the Cunard line this afternoon. 1t
was agreed that the Supreme Courts ruI-
ing was g victory for the United States
owners, inaSmuch as il PLACID their ships
on an equal basis with those of foreign
lines. Foreign ships, under the ruling
must be actually dry" when they come
inside the three mile limit. 1t was point
ed out at the meeting that United States
liners could stop at Halifax on the out
hound trip and stock with liquor, either
calling at Halifax to land the surplus on
the way back, or sailing direct to Nel.
York and disposing of the liquor on board
before arrival.

 Washington. Sept se.@fhe posi office department plans within the next three weeks to call upon the civil service commission to hold an examination of candidates for Post master at New Britain. t is learned
 The examination. 1t is expected, will be held some time in November. probably either on Tuesday, Novem- Der 20 or ef,
 As the commission is now reauir- ing about two months to complete these examinations and certify the re- suit to the department, the holding of the examination at the end Of November would permit Of making the eligibles known in January in time to allow for appointing the new postmaster by the time the term of Postmaster W. r. Delaney expires on February {. 1924.
 Although no word has vet been re- eeived from Congressman E. Hart Fem, concerning the coming change 1t is quite possible that he may shortly communicate with the. post office department and bring about q repetition of the situation at Hart ford. where he had the department put off the examination for four or five months while he had Harry J. Taylor. his secretary. appointed as acting postmaster.
 The advantage of this move is that when the postponed examination is held Taylor. by virtue of having been In office four or five months, will be able to get a high rating on experi- ence which will almost certainly place him in first position among the elig-

LAUGH AT STORY OF
 GOLF AS STRENUOUS
Anyway, Links Are Good Place as
 Any on Which to Die

Chicago, Sept. 26.-Members of the Illinois senior golf association which is planning to hold championship , tournament next Friday at the Oak Park Country club, all members being more than 50 years old, smiled when they read London dispatch saying that certain English doctors had set 50 years as the dangerous temporal line past which golfer played at his peril, because a dozen Britons had dropped dead on golf courses this year.
 Alexander H. Revell, president of the association not only went to Eur ope and won the German champion ship after he was 50, but he plays al- most daily and shoots a game that would make many youngsters envious
 Charles F. Thompson, formerly president of the western golf associa- ton and executive of the Flossmore club, where the national amateur championship was held last week, proudly proclaimed that although he was considerably past 50, he found his age dangerous only to his opponents.
 And scores of golfers who have passed the 50 year limit set by some British physicians merely laughed at the assertion and furnished their clubs for the coming championship. They recalled that the United States senior golf championship tournament had conteHders in the sos and none of them dropped dead while playing what they termed the only game that . venerable man could play with safety. as other sports were too vio- lent for aged men.
 Anyway" concluded one hoary haired golfer, T can't think of any pieasanter place to drop dead than on 8 golf links"

Hartford. Sept. ie.-At a total ees Of ss,ssI loI.s2, an aggregate ol ilT,s6 miles Of highway were con- strueted and accepted by the state highway department during the lasl fiseal year. according to surVe, made public yesterday This figure only embraces the contracts eom- pleled. In addition. on July l, total mileage under construction amounted to i0i.sa miles. at total cost Of s4,l2e.20i,ol, On July 1, 1929, there were is6.i4 miles under construction representing an approximate cost of ss,eA0,s7b.is,
 At the beginning of the present fiscal period. the Mystic bridge was under construction. the total cost of which was t2ib.44b.2b.
 Don't show Actual Work.
 Although these figures offer some comprehension of the amount of work accomplished by the department dur. ing the last year. they do not cor respond with the actual work for the fiscal period because number of contracts were started before July 1. 1922. and money disbursed on those contracts. On the other hand. con- tracts were let between July. 1922. and July, 1928. and had not been compelled at the end of the fiscal term.
 The summary does show. however. the actual mileage of roads definitely finished and accepted during the l2 months. At the beginning of the present period, work under construc- tion. including contracts nearly com pleted. represented total amount of s4.195,363.14. On these awards, pay ments have been made to the extent of s1,S27,667.14, leaving a. balance not disbursed of 32,Se7,79s, which will be paid as tho work progresses.

RUSSIA HESITATES
 ID AID IN REVOLT
Therefore Communist Uprising
 in Germany Is Not Likely
By The Associated PFsss.

l Hf Iho Ass4siakSd Efsse
 Moscow, Sept l6,-beTllA dispatch es indicating the further readiness ol the. German government 10 eapitulals have strengthened the realization heFs that not since the soylets decided te sign the peace of Brest-Litoysh has the cause or the pFolelaFlan resolu' ton faced such difficult problem,
 Itussia iiesitaIes,
 Told by the German communists who are here to plead their cause personally, that the iron is hot in Berlin and that it may be struck quickly before a fascist settlement snatches 1t from the forge and plunge 1t into the cold bath Of fes action from which it may not emerge for years. Russia hesitates to let the hammer strike.
 The hammer is busy at home forg- ing the internal reconstruction Of the country. Furthermore the hands that wield 1t are uncertain whether the German iron is strong enough To stand the blow or whether the capi- taiistic blacksmiths in Poland, France and elsewhere would not seize the iron, forge and sword with which they would attack Russia. The ham n,er is still poised in mid-air.
 Reaetionary Settlement.
 No official information whatsoever Is available as to thaA conferences among the Russian and German com in Moscow during the past few days. However, 1t may be de- ducted from the printed speeches and guarded editorials that the situation is this.
 The German communists foresee n settlement of the Ruhr problems, bringing the possibility of tranquility in Germany and hence lessening the chance of an inn mediate proletarian revolution which they are confident would otherwise come in 0 few weeks. Both the Germans and the Russians know of he Italian, Bulgarian and Spanish fascist successes A fascist Germany would be not only menace to Ger nan communist hopes but also to Russian; hence the Germans want Q accept the immediate opportunity believing it would be possible to suc- 'eed although realizing that probably Poland, France and other nations . ould attack from the outside.
 All Are Undecided.
 The Germans here assert that the Serlin and Bavarian fascisti would lot mind letting the communists over- hrow the present German govern nent and then dealing with the com nunists later. The latter too, are un- ecided whether to strike first or to ake advantage of any fascist move 1ent.
 However the Germans act, the Rus ians realize the almost impossibility f Russias neutrality, especially in he event of the interference by Po- md. They also realize what a new -ar would mean to the slow recon truction process in Russia which is from a civil war. The army organized, but what is behind it is n unknown quantity. Above all, the russians hesitate to risk any decision ) break that peace which is essential J the adjustment of their internal roblems.
