The fact that Albert r. Rock well, Bristol manufacturer, did not leave will, indicates two things: That he did not anticipate death and that he had no preferences among his legal heirs. Most people put off making a will until circum- stances in connection with their health, or the passage of years stimulate them to such action. MT Rockwell, prior to the illness which caused his death, evidently antici' pated many more years of useful ness.

THE ARMS CONFERENCE AND THE PROTOCOL

The most important point relat- ing to its further existence in the Geneva protocol is contained in artical l2 of that document, and has been generally overlooked. This article says that the protocol will not come into force until the adop- ton of general plan for the re- duction of armaments by the pro- posed Geneva disarmament con- ference. If within a period 10 be fixed by the latter conference, the council of the League of Nations finds that the plan for reduction of armaments has not been carried out, then the protocol is to become null and void, The whole plan thus hinges on the success of the pro- posed disarmament conference - and If the United States, through President Coolidge, makes a move in that direction, it appears likely that there will be no disarm- ament conference under the proto- col plan, and the entire protocol scheme may fall through.
 Austen Chamberlain, British for eign secretary, has declared that the attitude of his government to- ward the protocol has not been de- i termined; that it desired to study the subject more fully.
 Both the Macdonald and Herriot ministries, which were the chief advocates of the Geneva protocol, believed that the problems of Eu- rope could be settled without the participation of the United States; but the new Baldwin Cham berlain- Churchill government of Great Britain is regarded as putting more faith in Anglo-American cO-opera- ton.

The story which came from South Norwalk that yeggmcn were surprised while attempting to blow a safe in a building adjacent to police headquarters indicates the aston ishing contempt in which the po- lice are held by some of these irk- some gentry. But such contempt in this case was not well deserved, in asmuch as a policeman killed one of the yeggmen and the other two were later lassoed by the law. It should be a rule in the yesgmen's union not to blow safes less than two blocks to a police station.

WILL MEAT BECOME \ SCARCE ARTICLE?

For generations Americans have been regarding Europeans as untor- tunate in not being able to eat as copious quantities of meat as we do. In England, to be sure, roast beef from time immomoraI has been a standard part of tlre home menu, but to a less degree since the war because of it's higher cost. In most other European countries however meat-cating has been less popular not because the pOpulaCe would not like to eat more of it, but because its cost has been entirely beyond the average purse, The man who eats meat once a day in large parts of Europe has been considering himself fairly well off.
 American cattle raiScrs have just got through telling us that the American meat situation is going in the same direction. Folk who with avidity have been devouring T-bone steak and prime roast beef au jus" as if the cost didn't matter are due 10 be joltcd within year, ac- cording to the cattle raisers. These gentlemen from the plains give due warninf that there will be pro- nounccd scarcity of meats by next fall.
 How this will come about is ex- plained in this manner: Because meat on the hoof has been produced at a loss fer several years, cattle men began easing up on the pro- duction thereof They couldn't af- ford to lose money indefinitely. The result is that there already are fewer herds on the ranges, and by fail there will be decidedly fewer than at present If there are moi enough cattle to offer to the pack CTS. there naturally will be less meat produced. It will be possible for the American housewife to make her purchases with a smaller basket although she will need 9 larger purse, say the cattlemen'
 AS an exporter of meat Ameflca has stood in the front rank up tt the present. If there is to be an in' suficiency in the future for our o"f needs, it is clear that there will o' no surplus for export.

NAVY TRANSPORT
 HAS BOOZE SUPPLY
Marines Figure in Sensational : Raid on Govt. Vessel

Norfolk, Va., Feb. 25.--A raiding party of marines boarded the navy transport Beaufort when she docked here last night from the West h. dies and seized several hundred gall Ions of liquors. Some of the liquors, the raiders said, were taken from the staterooms of officers ranging m rank from pay clYks to lieutenants.
 The raid was conducted under direction of Captain Wilbert Smith. assistant commandant of the naval base here. Orders for the action were 4ssued by Rear Admiral Welles. commandant of the fifth naval dis trict who is said to have received information of liquor being aboard the transport from customs officials here.
 As soon as the vessel was docked, the marines were thrown around her and no one was permitted to leave until a thorough search was made of every cabin and the cargo. The confiscated liquor was taken 10 the administration building at the base, where it will be held until a court of inquiry can be convened 10 fix responsibility
 While the Beaufort was being searched all telephones out of the naval base were kept under surveil- lance and the gates closely guarded. Several automobiles which attempted to get out of the reservation were seized after they were found to con- tain liquor.
 The Beaufort operates on regular schedule between Norfolk and West Indian ports, and carries supplies and passengers.
 Washington, Feb. 25.-violations of the law as well as of navy regu- lations apparently are involved in the case of the navy transport Beaufort which transported liquor into Hamp- ton Roads, it was pointed out today by government officials.
 No report has reached the navy department and the action to be talk en will not be announced unti tSecretary Wilbur has had chance tc study the case. It was said tha those found guilty might be triet either by a federal court for violat ing the prohibition laws, or by cour martial.
 Under the prohibition law, it fl illegal to bring liquor into American waters and under navy rules nc liquor may be kept aboard ships In most cases where the arrests ar' made by navy officers, the trial i by court martial.

Milk production in Connecticut has been particularly highly de'ei- opcd. largely due to good business methods among milk producers The state has a higher percentage of COWS per acre than any other New England state. and it is claimed bv some observers that they receive the highest prices for fluid milk in tho I-nited States. The dairying in dustrv in the state has reached the s20.OO0.OO0 mark. and is indicative that one way to improve farming conditions is to apply business acu- men 10 the problems. Despite the s,atc's fine record in dairying, those in the business say there is little chance to show a profit in Connec- lieut. even in this industry unless scientific and modern methods of production and marketing are fol- lowed, Wherever there is proht III the dairying industry 1t can Oe credited to good management.

Coolidge hesitated aboo. ,~.."g an other disarmament conference in order to await the result of the pro tocol scheme. His activities toward the conference can with some de- gree of accuracy be regarded as tending to show he thinks the pro- tocol will not bring about the de- sired disarmament conference and that it is time for the United States to act independently.
 Tie British dominions h q V Q thrown sand in the machinery of the protocol scheme. When the Irish Free State and Canada refused to ratify the Lausanne treaty, 1t was indicative that the British do- i minions had adopted a more indc- pendent attitude in international relations. Canada, New Zealand Australia and South Africa have refused to participate in an i'm pcriaI conference in London to dis i cuss the protocol.
 Objections of the British domln- { ions 10 the protocol is due to all i amendment secured by the Japanese delegation at Geneva to the section nroyiding for reference to the World Court for decision as to whether ar issue between nations comes withn the jurisdiction Of one of the states in the dispute. The Japanese amend mcnt as adopted reads:
 i If the question is hcd by
 the court or ly the council 10
 be a matter solely within inc
 domestic jurisdiction of th@ state. this decision shall not
 prevent consideration of 'hc
 situation by inc Council or the
 Assembly (of the League of
 Nations) under Article II of the
 covenant"
 Obviously, thc British dominion fear the introduction of a contro vcrsy over immigration as amrnabI of settlement in this mann2r; an immigration Is a matter they re gard as purely domestic, Advocate Of the protocol however, "aim tha the Japanese amendment did no change the situation as it aIrcad existed. as according 10 Article ] Of the covenant, any war or threa , Hof war" no matter how it arsse' ? is "a matter of concern to the whoI League" and is open to considcra ? ton by the Council or the Assem bly.
