The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-12-04
By STEVE RICHARDS

Santa Claus, Ind, Dec 4-(UP) Santa Claus postoffice hustled today with the rush of childish pleas from poor children with an abiding faith in the generosity of Old Kris Kringle.
 Heavy mail, most of it touching, requests for playthings in kiddie stockings Christmas Eve, is handled in the backwoods country store that serves this village as a postoffice.
 Jim Martin is postmaster and store keeper. The villages SO in- habitants are his chief assistants. And they all give hand to Santa himself.
 1T hope" Martin told the United Press today, that someone will write and say they will answer all these letters with toys. The chill dren's faith in Santa Claus should not be destroyed" These letters are typical:
 Dear Santa: You know how good I have been to my mother and afther. I want a doll, bicycle, two-wheeler, and if not Q sled, some clothes and be sure to bring something for my mama"
 Another from New York said:
 Dear Santa Claus:
 "Please bring us something for Christmas if you can, but more than anything We want our papa back"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-12-04

Martin opens the letters as Santa Claus official representative.
 T hope I'll be able to answer all the letters that come from poor children" he said. T can't send them what they want but it will at least make them feel better to know they have a letter from Santa Claus"
 He hopes to clear the stack of mail from his shelves in time to eat a Christmas dinner. Every year in the past, he has worked all day Christmas catching up.
 Letters born in the hearts of small children, otherh of grownups or business firms for reforwarding with Santa postmark arrived today from Austria, France, England, Germany, a score of other coun- tries, and from every one of the United States.
 To aid Santa Claus town, the postoffice department has sent can- ceiling machines that can handle 50O,00 pieces of mail a day--a strange machinery for this village isolated among the pine-covered hills of Southern Indiana. No rail- road or modern highway runs here.
 The almost illegible pleas of poor children for playthings in their stocking on Christmas day will be sent by Martin to charitable or ganizations. They have promised to answer what they can.

The Appeal
 Dismissed Michael Burns Denied Compensation. From
 Local Factory

Compensation Commis si n r Frederic M. Williams dismissed the claim for compensation of Michael Burns of West Main street against the Waterbury Steel Ball Co in a finding handed down in the com pensation court to-day. The claim ant alleged he was burned at the factory in 1928 and that two car buncles grew on the spot on the back of his neck, soon after the accident. The finding states the carbuncles could not have arisen so soon after the burning.
 In a supplemental agreement, Sten Carlson of this 321 Bank city, will receive .$375 from Ed ward A. Isaacson of Wethersfield for 50 per cent loss of use of his left thumb. Other agreements filed included Scovill Mfg Co, and Leo Houle of 159 River street, finger injury, $7.75 weekly; Lux Clock Mfg Co and George Pouard of Columbia Boulevard Extension, finger injury, $10.46 weekly.

After being married ss years and

After being married 33 years and separated from her husband for 24 years, Gertrude Isabelle Ives of New Haven was granted divorce from Benjamin Hall Ives of Plain vile on grounds of habitual intem- perance by Judge John Richards Booth in superior court this morn ing. The decree was one of three granted at the short calendar ses- sion of the court. Decrees were also granetd Edith G. Colella against Anthony Colella on grounds of cruelty and Hannah Brown against Marshall Brown on grounds of cruelty.
 In the Ives case, the plaintiff said she was married to the de- fendant on October 12, 1893. She had no idea her husband was in- temperate while she was keeping company with him she said. She was IS and he was 35 when they were married. Two weeks after their marriage, she said he came home in an intoxicated condition. For nine years, she stated, he made 8 practice of becoming in- toxicated on week-ends and occa- sionally during the week, until she told him to leave.
 Judge Booth asked her why she sought a divorce now after being separated from him since 1907. She said it was for her children's sake who believed their father should have no claim upon them.
 Milton Ives, son of the plain tiff, Mrs Lillian Mates, sister of the plaintiff, and a neighbor of MT Ives in Plainville were the other witnesses. Milton said he vaguely remembered being taken down town by his father when he was Q boy and was instructed to wait outside . saloon until his father

SEPARATED 24, DIVORCED
JAPAN INSISTS
 | CHINESE GO BACK | BEHIND WALLS
Will Resort to Arms Rather Than Diplomacy to Force Chinese Into Walled City
BY MILES W. VAUGHN

(United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Tokio, Dec 4-(U. P.) = New instructions believed to be Japan's '1ast stand" for peaceful settle ment of the Manchurian dispute were forwarded to Paris to-day.
 Meanwhile it appeared that the government would resort to arms rather than diplomacy to force Chinese troops to withdraw from Chinchow inside the great wall.
 The government did not con- slider the situation at Paris hope- less if the league would leave evac- uation of the Cninchow area to di- rect Sino-Japanese negotiations and accept Japan's notifications to the leagues plan to settle the conflict with China. That of course is what Japan has insisted.
 Aristide Briand's declaration as president of the league council re- garding the rights of Japanese troops to operate against bandits in 8 neutral Manchurian zone was described officially as especially unsatisfactory. One of the provi- sions to which Japan objected was that neutral military observers should accompany either Chinese or Japanese forces in action in the zone.
 Kenkichi Yoshizawa, Japanese delegate to the council, was in- structed to insist that withdrawal of Chinese troops inside the great wall, from Chinchow to Shanhaik- wan, be settled purely between the Japanese and Chinese.
 Reported increase of Chinese troops in the Chinchow area in- creased the belief that Japan would report to military strength rather than diplomatic measures to clear the district.
 Diplomatic negotiations with act ing Chinese foreign minister, Dr Wellington Roo and with Marshal Chang Hseuh-Liang were fruitless, officials here said.
 The government published radio messages said to have been inter- cepted from c ral Ma Chan Shan to Wan Il. former gov ernor of lIt ang Province no wat Peipil mich Ma was quoted as sayii... .at he hoped to recapture Tsitsihar, from which he was driven by the Japanese, and Kirin and Liaoning. The messages were considered nonsensical by competent authorities who point ed out that Ma was isoalted in a helpless position at Hailung.

ITALY PLANNING FOR CONFERENCE
 THISFEBRUARY
Clear Conscience Expect ed for Disarmament
 Meeting at Geneva

Rome.-Italy is going to the Arms Limitation Conference at Geneva in February of next year with a clear conscience.
 Mussolini and Grandi, for many months, have been the leading disarmament spokesmen in Eu- rope. If the conference fails and Mussolini says if 1t does the world faces communistic chaos Italy feels that she will not be to- blame.
 Tn order to prepare the way for a real reduction of military ex- penditures in Europe, Italy has suggested, at various times: II l. A one year naval construc- tion holiday with France to pro- mote a Franco-Italian naval un- derstanding.
 2. The abolition of battle cruis- CTS over 10000 tons.
 8. If battle cruisers are abol- ished, the prohibition of future submarine construction.
 4. A definite offer to reduce her armaments to any figure, no mat ter how low, providing no other European country has more-in other words equal disarmament.
 s. Grandi's one year arms truce suggested by Geneva to last through the disarmament confer ence and designed to promote its success.
 Talking Peace
 Aside from these concrete sug- gestions, Italy has been talking peace in a manner surprising and disconcerting to those Europeans who have always accused Italy of sword rattling. The tone of Mussolini's speeches and writings for the past two years demon- strate conclusively that Italy con- slider s disarmament as necessary to the economic and political well fare of Europe.
 Without undue exaggeration i this peace spirit is contained in i Italy's report to the league Of nations on her armed forces and military expenditures docu- ment which the league requested for the preparation of the dis armament conferences labors. Italy's memorandum is compact table carefully listing her strength in the various armed branches. There is no comment or attached reservations designed to make more difficult the work of the arms conference. It will be re- called that France appended to her figures a statement that the forces listed therein represented her minimum requirements, ana further disarmament would be impossible without security pledges. | Restricted Army | Tn discussing her man power i Italy says that although the gov ernment is empowered to call a large number of men to the col ors, 'in harmony with the prin- ciple of reduction of armaments it has restricted its army to small dimensions" Each year Italy calls up less than 200,0 men for service in the army.
 In addition to the total armed force the memorandum states that there are s5.09s officers and privates serving in national branches organized on a military clst Militia. There are nearly 1000 more serving in Italian co'- onies.
 Of the total tonnage of 404.ooS metric tons returned as ltaiys naval figure. s7.s17 tons are m. vested in four capital ships' f05.s00 tons in ii cruisers car: rying guns of more than o.l inches; and e5.423 tons in is smaller cruisers. There are se destroyers, of total of si.Iol tons. and 7b submarines. mostly of small displacement, of total Of Ss.b64 tons.
