This is making up for the shortage of

HAMBURG BUYING LESS

February and March, 1914. shows an
increase from siXty-six In 1914 to $50
in 1915. and decrease in ships from
613 to 564. There was an even greater
decrease in the number OF producers
who bring their wares in by wagon. to
counteract the increase in freight cars.

helmets, Notwithstanding the thous-
ands of Germans who have been killed,
wounded and captured. are still rare
trophies at the British front There
are two chief reasons for this.
The first is that the Germans OF late
have been wearing caps: the second,
that the dead and wounded between
the lines, on whom most Of the helmets
are to BIO found. are in no mans land,
where 1t Is almost sure death to VEN
ture.
The British soldier appreciates that
these helmets are bringing fancy
prices in Paris, London and New York.
and he is loath 10 part with any trophy
except for good sum. A regular
clearing house for them has been es-
tabiished. and hundreds are being sert

TROELSTRA is MASTER
Proves II by SwnyinS Congress. Which
Net to Dcnounce Him.

THE HAGUE. NETHERLANDS. May
S.-Internationallsm as far as Dutch
Socialists are concerned, received no
support at the recent congress of tho
Netherlands Social-Democratic party
at Arnhen. where. In face Of tho danger
of the country, the members of the
party declared by a largo majority in
favor OF patriotism and national spirit.
Pieter Jelles Troelstra, who may be
regarded as the socialistic dictator Of
Holland. once more proved his absolute
mastery by converting to his point of
view congress which had met to de-
nounce him for his action in the war,
when Holland decided to mobilize It's
forces In order TO preserve Its terri
tory from violation. This talented
member OF the lower house Of the
Dutch Parliament. with his silver
tongued oratory. overcame all opposi-
ton and carried the audience with him.
He had been attacked by r. Kuyper.
a skilled speaker and brilliant writer.
on account of his vote. and every one
present was prepared for a spirited
contest.
Troelstra rose, and soon had the en-
tire audience with him. He fixed his
hearers with his steely eyes. and as
he spoke his features were full Of ex-
preston, while all his gestures were
rightly timed. Sometimes his words
crashed out like sledge hammer blows
and then again his voice became al
most sweet. He held his listeners en-
tranced when he told them he had de-
veloped from the anarchy Of interna
tionalism into the socialism of ma
tionalism. When he had concluded he
was given general ovation. and he
had won tho day for patriotism.
Kuyper. the academic disciple OF
Karl Marx. recognized the reality of
tho national spirit. but considered 1t
not worth fighting for.
The practical result Of the congress
was the passing of resolution de-
claring the interests OF the working
classes to be identical with those of
the nation. and calling for the main
tenance OF It's neutrality and indepen-
dence by every available means. A
free hand was given to Troelstra TO
act In this sense as a member of Par
Lament while the present crisis lasts.

PARIS RENT QUESTION
IS BECOMING ACUTE
Tenants Can't Pay, and VIII Be
Largely Exempted by the
Government.
NO IMPROVEMENT IS IN SIGHT
When War Is Ended, People Will BE
Impoverished, and Landlords Will
Be Compelled to Throw Their
Holdings on Market.

Especial Cable 10 The Times Dispatch.l
PARIS, May S.-The rent question is
becoming acute. On the spring quar-
ter day proprietors again received
nothing from tenants. whose rents did
not exceed 5000 a year. and very little
from those who pay above that sum.
This has been going on since last Au-
gust, and Is likely to continue for some
time yet.
French statistictan to-day puts the
loss at more than S4oo.00o.o00 already.
1t Is scarcely likely that the back rent
will be paid after the war, for the
simple reason that every one will be
impoverished. Moreover. 1t is quite
certain that a government order will
exempt tenants to a considerable ex-
tent
AS a result. proprietors. unable to
keep up with the strain. will be forced
to throw their buildings on the real
estate market at a time when there
can be few purchasers. and values are
likely to go distressinEly low.
General Joffre has bought n barge.
or houseboat, and after the war eX-
poets to live on il whenever the
weather permits. He proposes. with
the sole company of Madame Joffre. to
be leisurely towed wherever he feels
inclined to go, by river and canal, all
over France. angling peacefully on the
way.
GERMANS TRY CHLORINE
TANKS on THE DOGS
Interesting details of the Germans
preparations to use their chlorine
tanks. which gave them the victory
north of Ypres, were learned here to-
day. Some time ago the Germans pur-
chased all the dogs they could find in
certain Belgian villages. These dogs
were taken In ranges OF the Cockerill
Armament Company, to the north Of
Hassett. where the Germans had dug
very deep trenches
The dogs were placed in patches in
the trenches, on which the Germans
launched their asphyxiating gases. By
means OF special apparatus. they dis
charged grenades filed with chlorine
to a considerable distance.
In some of the trenches the dogs
were found lying dead in heaps. In
others they had been simply stunned.
How a German column was lured to
disaster in the early days OF the war
was revealed here to-day. military
dove cote was suddenly fluttered by
the arrival of a stranger weary and
way-worn. So nice was the strangers
reception that II attracted tho atten-

a bad time with the other pigeons

Old Reliable Brooklyn Savings Bank to Begin Business in Phoenix Block
 Today,

This (Monday) morning the Brook lyn Savings bank will open for busi- ness in it's new quarters in the Phoenix block, in the rooms recently vacated by the Danielson Trust company. The coming of the bank to Danielson con- summates an expectation of many years and change that it has taken a great deal of effort upon the part of those interested to bring about. Since October, 1913, when the bank moved from Brooklyn Center, where it had been located since it's in corporation in 1872, it has been located in a building on South Main street, West Side, which is just within the limits of the town of Brooklyn. Its business increased with unprecedented rapidity from the very first days in it's West Side quar- ters and the deposits have very sub stantially increased.
 With the transfer of the bank to Danielson, where it will continue to do business under its old name the bor- ough gets one of the best known sav- ings institutions in eastern Connecti- cut one of the old reliable type, and
