America and England Living Up to >-.'Sf
 Agreements of Disarmament
 Conference.

Shanghai, Jan. 1.-In accordance with the program outlined at the Washington disarmament conference for the removal of foreign post of fees from China, the American and British post offices in the Internation- al Settlement of Shanghai are pre- pairing to discontinue business The Chinese post office in Shanghai is en- larging its facilities to provide for the increase in the volume of mail it will begin to handle on the first of the year.
 While definite announcements have been issued by the American and Brit iah post offices, no formal statements have been issued by the Japanese post ofiice or the French post office in the French concession of Shanghai.
 The British and American post offices ceased handling incoming mail addressed to points in China on No vember 30, such matter being turned over to the Chinese post office.
 The British post office suspended activities on November 30, The Am erican post office stopped handling mail addressed outside of the United States or its possessions some time be- fore this date, but under arrangements made in November, the American post office will continue to dispatch mails to points in the United States and it's possessions up to December 31.

Belvidere Residents to
 OppOSe Increase in Tax

Residents of Belvidere, one of the sections of the city formerly in the first taxing district only, but which the charter revision committee plans to bring within the second district, will oppose that move, according to School Committeeman E. O. Kill bourne. The objection is based on the fact that policing and sewer sys- tems are not the same as in the cen ter of the city and therefore taxes should be proportionately lower. The revisionists have tentatively adopted the proposed extension of the taxing district, but will take final vote this week. The matter will then go to a public hearing and finally to the council before being recommended to the legislature.

MONITOR SURVIy0R
 DIES AT AGE OF 78
Charles A. Burr Was Veteran
 Mover of Meriden

Meriden, Jan. 1.-Charles A. Burr
 IS, of 46 Murray street, the vel
 known building mover believed to be
 the last survivor of the naval battle
 between the Monitor and the Merri.
 mac during the Civil war, died al
 his home Sunday morning at 2:45 o'clock after an illness dating from last August
 MT. Burr was born January 12, lS45, and at the age of Is years en- listed from New York state in the United States navy. He was one of a detachment of the navy sent to nan the Monitor as John Ericsson's s cheese box on raft" was called, as it steamed out to meet the Confeder- ate sea monster, the Merrimac.
 Great Naval Battle.
 The history of that battle is too well known to need re-telling now, but Meriden long has been proud that one of its citizens should have played such an important part in checking the sea power of the seeding states. MT. Burr was very patriotic man and refused to apply for a pension, the fact that he. with other members of the crew, was told by Abraham Lincoln, then president of the United States, that if he ever wanted anything from the govern ment, he could have it as a reward for the service rendered.
 Mir. Burr was an active worker at his trade of moving buildings until the middle of last summer, and be- lieved all the pension money should go to those who were wounded or who were unable to support them selves. Mir. Burr continued in the naval service after the historic battle, and was promoted to be a petty off, cer. After Lees surrender he was wounded in a skirmish with band of guerrillas, who attacked Dutch fort on the James river. Mir. Burr had a piece of the hull of the old Merri- mac, which he kept as a souvenir of the battle which changed the whole plan of naval architecture.
 After the war MT. Burr came to Meriden to live and in 1887 built the house in which he lived for 55 years. He was married that year and with his bride went to live in his new house. He engaged In the business of moving buildings, and his fame as an expert mover of buildings spread all 1ver the state.

 One Of the standard propaganda charges made by the Greeks against the Turks, and conversely by the Turks against the Greeks, was that lhe enemy Was wearing American uni- forms as a rnse to penetrate lines without being fired on. The evident answer was ioblet American uni- forms.
 The governments Of Europe seem 10 have taken little notice of this con. trahanding, During the various per- ieds Of the British occupation Of ceastantinepie. British subjects are said to have sold to the Turkish Ma. Ilonallsts either discarded British war material, or else Turkish war mater lai that had been captured by the British,

 Al one time there was large auan. iliy or war material at Adrianople. With the keys Of the storehouses in the hands Of an Allied commission which had orders 10 destroy it. This the commission apparently failed 10 do. and somehow the storehouses were gradually emptied.
 small wars and revolutions have been so frequent in Europe. since the close or the great war. that the aver. age citizen no longer attempts even 10 remember them. A war went on in Galicia for two years, almost unno- ticed. Poles were opposed to ukraln- Ians. 100000 men were engaged. Each side bought supplies wherever they were for sale. notably in this case in vienna and Budapest. Then there have been new armies to equip, as in jugoslavia. czechoslovakia and Ru- mania. Serbia recently voted sl5.0D,- 'oo Tor armaments. Russia hasu sed ip enormous quantities of material turing her various war and revolu- ions since 1917.
 Not a little of Europe's cast off lrms has gone to Egypt. to Syria, to Arabia, 10 Persia, and to the hinter- ands beyond the Caspian. The Af- shans. among others, have equipped m important army. Portugal and 'pain, in particular have had their hare. Dealers in Europe have made hipments to the warning revolution sts of China.

The owder of the general war has longl nce been used up, and anybody who ants to start new war today must rst find something like a million ollars month for the single item of owder. This is the sum needed to eep an army of hundred thousand len on the firing line. If the war laker cannot see that far ahead. he ad better think twice about his war.

PLENTY OF ARMS
 FOUND IN EUROPE
War Promoters Dealing in Large Underground Trade

Paris, Jan. 1.-The fact that ther,
 is still a large underground trade 1T munitions of war throughout Europe
 has been disclosed through the recent
 charges of British newspapers that the French government had supplied the Turkish Nationalist army with | the wherewithal to defeat the Greeks, and possibly to defeat the British in the vicinity of Constanti- nople.
 Information reaching Paris is be- lieved to disprove this broadcast statement against the French. On the contrary, it is affirmed that no small part of the Turkish military supplies was obtained in London, through a firm partly British, and certainly with no Turk sympathies.
 When Ismet Pasha, head of the Turkish peace delegation at Lausanne and organizer of the main Turkish army. was in Paris lately he said My war materials were obtained from American, British, Italian, French, Greek and Russian sources; played no favorites.
 
 themselves" Ismet Pasha continued. "I waited until I had a good supply on hand, collected by agents operat- ing in Europe. I did not waste any of my supplies until was ready for general drive against the Greek in August. Like the American officers at Bunker Hill. I instructed my artil- lery and infantry officers to wait un- til they saw the whites of the eyes of the enemy, and then to shoot. When the Greeks began to retreat, we got the very large stores they had collected. We are grateful to them for some very fine field guns, made in England.
 There does not seem to be much sentiment in this business of furnish ing munitions to countries anxious to fight each other. The dealers will sell to all corners so long as cash is paid on delivery. There is firm operating in Holland that will sell any kind of gun in any quantity, and deliver it on the high seas if ports are lacking. Firms in London will | do the same. Trieste, at the head of | the Adriatic, has become notorious | as a place to buy war munitions. There are other agents for war goods located in Alexandria, in Constanti- nople, in various places in the Bal kans, and in Paris.
 Germans Good Sellers.
 "One of the most successful sellers of war goods is a German firm, the members of which were once connect ad with Krupps. They will supply anything asked for, including French munitions. Much of the material be- ng sold is new. Twenty-six factories Ire said to be working in Russia, and var material may soon become Rus jia's chief export.
 "The general war left, not only the United States. but each of the nations
