GERMANY WILL WIN WAR,
 SAYS COUNT VON N0LTKE
Declaration of War Fell Very Heavily Upon Kaiser,
 He Declares.

Berlin, Via Amsterdam and Lon don, Jan. 22, 10:56 A. M.-There has been published in local newspaper an interview with Lieutenant General Count Von Moltke, former chief of staff of the German army. The recital is largely in the form of question and answer, and is as follows.
 The resolve to declare war must have fallen heavily upon Emperor William?" the interviewer asked.
 Striking the table with his fist and otherwise giving evidence of his emo ton, Gen. Won Moltke answered: :: Very heavily, indeed. Do people ever stop to consider how tremendous is the responsibility of conscientious monarch who must pledge the blood of his people? That step a monarch like the emperor takes only when the life and death of his people Is at stake.''
 Does your excellency believe that peace soon will come?"
 The war can last a long time yet. Our victories in Poland are of the greatest importance. To the French they are bitterly disappointing, spoil ing their hopes of an advance.

Henry Ford Tells Industrial Relations Commission He Will Guarantee To
 Reform Sing Sing Prisoners.

New York, Jan. 22.-Henry Ford, of Detroit, millionaire manufacturer of automobiles, will guarantee to take every convict out of Sing Sing prison and make a man out of him. He so stated today when he appeared to tes- tify before the United States com- mission on industrial relations which is Investigating the great philan- thropic foundations Of the country and the cause of industrial unrest.
 The philanthropic foundations may do some good" said MT. Ford, but they are not adequate. My idea is justice and not charity; to aid men to help themselves. We have all kinds of cripples in our employ. and they are making good We have great many who have been In pris- on, who are outcasts from society. Every one of them is making good showing and is gaining in self-respect and strength of character We will guarantee to take every convict out of Sing Sing and make a man out of him."
 George w. Perkins believes the present condition of business and the failure of the steel corporation to earn profits at the present time were due to the new tariff law.

will be kept of all the information that is gathered.
 The new member of the Chamber of Commerce staff was born in this city and makes his home with his moth CT at 204 Washington street He entered the 1912 class of the New Britain High school and remained two years. He then entered the University school of Bridgeport to prepare for college. His major work there was corpora tion and fiduciary finance and inter- state insurance. The same studies were continued at Valparaiso univer- sity of Indiana and at the evening schools of Chicago, where MT. Green spent the year of 1913.
 Because of the necessity of earning his way through school, MT. Green became connected with the Locomo- bile company while studying at Bridgeport The knowledge and eX- perience gained here helped him in working his way at Valparaiso and made him an automobile salesman in stead of an expert on finance. The last three months MT. Green has spent in New Britain and vicinity sell ing what was left of the Pope stock of cars after the concern went into bank ruptcy last June.
 The new assistant is a clean cut young man, twenty three years of age and has a great many friends in the city. He is thoroughly familiar with conditions in New Britain and should be successful in gathering informa- tion. There has been much interest in the appointment Of the assistant and it is believed the members of the chamber will be well satisfied with the caIactiOn made

NIGHT PATROL MAN
 TO BE INSTRUCTED
Chairman Alling of Safety Board Thinks Officer Riley should Have
 More Practice.

It was intinated today that the work of Thomas w. Riley in driving the new automobile patrol nights is not so good that 1t could not be inn proved upon and Chairman E. B. filling of the safety board, has given orders to have Chauffeur Shepard, of the White Automobile company, give MT. Riley some instructions tomorrow morning at o'clock.
 Early Wednesday evening Officer Riley took the patrol over to the depot to arrest a drunk and there was some criticism as to his method of driving the car One critic declared that it took him too long to get the engine over into high speed. It is supposed that these reports reached the ears of Chairman filling and he de- termined to give MT. Riley more of an opportunity to learn.
 Dennis O'Keefe, who has been re- ceiving a course of lessons for the past week, was out again this morn irg. Under MT. Shepard's direction lie practised quick starting and stop- ping and shifting gears. Yesterday O'Keefe took the car out for a long spin and negotiated the difficult hills on Beatty and Sexton streets and also climbed the Grand street hill without trouble. To demonstrate his skill with the big car O'Keefe stopped in the middle of Grand street hill, just beyond Camp street, and turned com pletely around without any trouble, coming down the hill safely MT. Shepard says that O'Keefe is now master of the car.
 To demonstrate just what the ma- n1,i
 dl ove it out to. Hart's lot yesterday afternoon after the three Italians. He made a record run and to further prove what it could do with unfavor- able conditions on the ground he drove through the bumpy lot at thirty miles an hour after the fleeing Italians.

seven baggage cars and one passenger

plaintiyely. "The Interstate Commerce
Commission has decided that anything
called trunk is a trunk, whatever
shape 1t is, and must be carried with
out excess rates being charged. I'll
bet that not one OF those Commission
ers can shoulder a trunk.
"In thirty years ! never found any
trouble in filling my baggage car until
It's sides bulged," he continued, wiping
away tear. why? Because all the
trunks were cut on the square, and |
Just packed them beside and on top
of each other. But nowadays trunks
are of such queer shapes that after
you get half dozen in car it's filled
with their curves and their angles.
so to carry all the new'fangled
baggage there will have to be more
than one baggage car or the Commits
sion will be fining the road the first
thing you know.
"In the last few weeks and my
helpers have handled trunks that look
+, ed as If they we're built to hold a
giraffe in, with each leg In a separate
compartment. Yesterday one Of my
men picked up one end of a double
barreled trunk marked Fragile II
dropped on his toes and he went to
the hospital.

strong man juggles was in that
trunk.
There came a trunk to the station
a few days ago, and when saw II
said to myself, Murder has been done
sure. Here's a trunk mystery for fair.
The baggage master told me an artist

in It. How are you going to stow
trunk shaped like a snake, or one
that comes up to a point, like fools
cap?

"Tm afraid | must quit the job. II
the old days I dreamed of rubber
trunks that you could squeeze into

that you couldn't smash. however yol
