COOPERATION IS NEED
 OF FRENCH CHAMBER
New War Minister Defines Attitude - A Soldiers
 Right to Complain.

Paris, Nov. II, 5:10 D. m.-Minister of War Gallieni made his maiden speech to the chamber of deputies today in reply to an interpolation by Deputy Morin regarding his cir cular order threatening dismissal to all who are incompetent or who tol- crate incompetency in those under them. M. Morin remarking that members of parliament had not so- licited favors, although they had made recommendations, requested Gen. Gallieni to state whether mem bers had intervened in the war min istry in a reprehensible manner.
 'I am a soldier and never occu- pied myself with politics" said Gen. Gallieni. "All under whom I have served can tell you how I have un- derstood my duty towards the coun- try I have taken the ministry of war only from devotion to the com mon cause we must all defend. This work would be condemned to fail ure if I could not count upon your unreserved cooperation
 1T thought it useful to stop the plague of recommendations Our soldiers should have the conviction that only equity and law determine our decisions. Every soldier has the right to make a complaint with out hindrance from any person. That is the object of my instructions. All complaints will be examined with the greatest sympathy, because sym pathy is an essential quality of m1l1- tary chief. It is necessary that every soldier should be able to make his complaint heard even at the top or the military hierarchy
 Gen. Gallieni added that parlla- mentary control was necessary to un- veil and repress abuses.
 M. Morin asked if any recommen- dation had been made by member of parliament which was not for the best interests of the country as might be supposed from press comment.
 The war minister responded that he was not responsible for press comment

DVINSK FORT FALLS
 TO RISE AGAIN
Particularly Constructed Defense Has Been Captured and Lost
 Fifteen Times,

Berlin, via London, Nov. 12, 5:O3 a. m.-The difficulties of the army besieging Dyinsk because of the na- ture of the fortress, which is built of sand, are pictured by Captain Won Kueschuetzky, correspondent of the Vossische Zeitung.
 Had it been of rock,"' experts de- clare it would have been knocked to pieces long ago,but an artillery bonn bardment is of little avail against a sand fortress. It was captured fifteen times between Sept. IS and Oct. 26, and still is not in the Ger mans possession. It has been re- duced in size one-half without affect. ing the strength of the remainder.
 Every rod of land is covered with permanent trenches roofed securely against shrapnel and shell fragments and connected with so-called fox holes,' small shelters where the gar- risons are secured against the heavi- est shells. Exploding projectile are smothered in sand trenches skilfully laid out so that they are mutually outfanking. An apparent success full attack often means the destruc- ton of the assailants by the flank ing fire of machine guns. One com- pany thus lost fifty-one dead on October 23.

These prices apply to producers Local authorities { in municipalities of more than 10000 population are required to fix maxi rnum prices for retail dealers in these supplies. The authorities in smaller places are empowered to take similar action if they see fit The chancellor is given authority to set maximum prices.
 Bread, potatoes, pork, milk and butter already have been subjected to a maximum price schedule. The consumption of other meats is regu- lated and limited by so-called Meat less days"
 Maximum prices for all varieties of meat and fish are believed to be in sight.

BRITAIN TO MAINTAIN
 GRIP ON GERMANY
Her Policy at Sea Will Not Be Affected By Note
 Says Spectator.

London, Nov. 12, 12:40 D. m-"The American note causes us little con. cern as Englishmen,' says the Spec. tator, commenting on the recent note of the United States to Great Britain relative to interference with Ameri- can trade. "Its harsh and unsympa. thetic tone will not make us relax in the slightest degree the grip on the throat of Germany which our sea power gives us. We shall answer the note politely and in a much more humai spirit than that which inspires it's words but we shall answer it firmly. That we must do whatevel the consequences, but there will be no consequences"
 The Spectator believes the major. 1ty of Americans would not tolerate seeing Great Britain stabbed in the back. It does not believe President Wilson will mix the problems of mu- nltions and contraband, and it re- 1uses to regard America as a purely foreign country. The weekly con" tinues:
 When history comes to be writ" ten Americans of the future will feel anything but pride when they re- member the official action of Ameri- ca during the great war. They will note how, first, it considered main- taining rigid neutrality on the mor- al issue-the brutalizing of Belgium, as Col. Roosevelt called it; furthe CT, how the Washington government bore the outrages committed on American subjects, like the sinking of the Lusitania, until the efficiency of the British navy had abated the. underwater menace, and again when; ir the supreme moment of England's agony, they thought they had found certain technical infringements of their rights, they vehemently pushed their paper case.''
 The Spectator says the British have not torpedoed American ships, nor have they killed American cit. izens. The British embassy has not been the center of plots and con. spiracies, yet, when the tone of the notes to Great Britain and Germany is considered it is much less friendly toward Great Britain.
 Referring to the sinking of the Italian steamship Ancona. the Spec., tator says that unless the champion ship which the executive has as.. sumed refers to goods only and does not cover human beings, it ven- lures to suggest that Washington at least repeat the Lusitania warning.

FAMILY MAY BE LOST
Local Italian Sends Tickets to Wife and Children Who May Have Been on TOrpedOed Ancona.

Frank Parisi, a local Italian, is fearful for the safety of his wife and children, who, he believes, may have teen lost when the Ancona was tor pedoed by submarine in the Medi- terranian Sea-
 Tickets on the Italian line for the mother and children to come to New Britain were purchased several months ago by Parisi from the Di- Nonno agency in this city and were sent by mail three or four weeks ago. Parisi has not heard from his family since.
 Parisi and his friends figure that the tickets would have arrived just about in time to permit his wife and children to sail on the Ancona.

Dept. of Justice Will Look Into
 Claims Attributed to Dr. GOriCar:
INVOLVES VON BERNSTORFF
Goricar Said to Have Been Author of Statement That German Diplomats
 and Destruction.

Washington, Nov. 12.-Published charges, attributed to Dr. Joseph Gori- car, former Austro Hungarian consul at San Francisco, that Austrian con- suls in the United States, working un- der the direction of Consul General Won Nuber and Count Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador, are active in propaganda for destruction of muni- tions factories and fomenting strikes among the workers, will be referred by the state department to the justice department for investigation. The Austrian embassy here denounced Goricar's published statement as un- true in every particular, and an nounced it would try to find some way to prosecute him for it. Goricar, the embassy said, left his post on leave and failed to return.
 Declines to Comment.
 Secretary Lansing today declined to comment on the charges, as has been his invariable custmo when dealing with like cases, which were of an un official character. The department of justice has a good deal of information on hand regarding the activities of Consul General Won Nuber, which it gathered while investigating his con nection with the case of Dr. Dumba, the recalled Austrian ambassador, but so far has nothing definite on the charges attributed to Dr. Coricar.
 Disliked Spy Work.
 In substance, Goricar is accredited with making the statement that he re- signed his post after fifteen years in the Austrian consular service because he declined to perform the work of spy. He charges that while consul at San Francisco, Commander Maxi milan Burstyn, the Austrian naval at tache at Washington, ordered him to gather plans of the fortiications of San Francisco harbor, and along the Pacific coast, and to get especially de- tails of the works at Bremerton navy yard. When he refused, Goricar is accredited with saying he was trans ferred to Berlin, where, after five months, he was ordered to proceed to Vienna, which he feared to do, be- cause of his pro-Slavic affiliations, so he fled to Rome, where he resigned last December.
 Spreading of Propaganda.
 Goricar's story asserts that the German ambassador working with Eon Nuber, is in touch with the Aus tiAoAi SohSolS dt NleVelanQ, SC. Louis, Pittsburgh, St. Paul, Chicago and Philadelphia, who spread propaganda among the foreign workers in the mu- nitions factories, and such activity, Gorlcar alleges, extends even to con- trolling the foreigners through fra ternal and secret organizations The alleged extent of the activities of the cOnsuls and the so-called spy system are described at length In Goricars published statement. Guricar's record shows he first came to this country in 1909 and was consul at Pittsburgh, Denver, and finally San Francisco, where he served three years.

The others made ,heir escape and the police have since been searching for them. According % the Manchester girl, the gang has been conducting a chain of immoral houses in New York and Connecticut and has been shipping women from one state to the other in violation of the federal white slave law.
