ASKS COMPENSATION
 BE GIVEN IN LUMP
CarTnine Manantella Wishes to Re-
 turn to His Home in Italy

In order that he may return to his native Italy where he would be able to eke out living in his crippled condition, Carmine Manantellas Of this city went before Compensation Commissioner George B. Chandler yesterday and asked that instead of receiving his compensation weekly, be given it in a lump sum.
 Injured Last june.
 Manantella was>employed by R. N. Peck in Hawleyville and last June a large rock fell on his back, pinning him to the ground. He was taken to the Danbury hospital and given treatment. X-ray examination fail ed to show any broken vertibrae and after a week he returned to his sons home in this city. Since that time, however, he had been confined to his bed, suffering from pains in the lumbar regions and lower spine, being unable to sit up or get up.
 In asking that he be awarded lump compensation, Manantella told the commissioner that he wants to return to live with his sister. They own a house and little plot of land there and by careful attention he could raise fruit enough to get liv- ing. Manantella's oldest son has re- centlv been called back to Italy to fight.
 pr. Paul Sweet has been attending the injured man and says he is hard patient. Either because he does not understand what the surgeon is trying to do, or because he is suffer ing such excruciating pain, 1t is hard to treat him. The doctor said that the patients slow recovery is due Tn port. If 8 bone in his back has been displaced the injury will be per- manent. Otherwise he may recover in a year and half. At present there is s166 due the patient.
 No Settlement Made.
 Commissioner Chandler ruled that the only way to settle the matter as requested by the plaintiff would be for the insurance company to agree. Immanuel DiNonno, representing Manantella, conferred with Adjuster Mehegan but no settlement was reached. The company offered 10 settle for $570. This would be for permanent incapacity for year and half. The offer was rejected ard years was asked. Until a definite settlement is made, Compensation Commissioner Chandler has awarded Manantella $7.32 per week as long as he is incapacitated.

German Paper Calls on Reichstas to Remedy Conditions-Attacks
 Herr Won Stern.

Cologne, via London, Nov. 24, 4:53 a. m.-The Volkszeitung in a sharp article urges the Reichstag, which meets next week to call the govern ment to account for it's failure to deal adequately with the problem of sup plying foodstuffs.
 ITO supply the German nation with provisions is at present the most im- portant military question, and one which must be carried through be- fore winter" the Volkszeitung says .. This doubtless will be recognized by the supreme army commander whose orders will find no opposition We recommend the appointment of ~an economic dictator in military cloth- ing"
 The article closes with an attack on Herr Won Stein recently appointed under secretary of the interior, on the, ground that he has not dealt energeti V cally enough with the food problem.

GOLF PLAYERS
 WITHOUT RATING
President of Association Says There Will Be No Official Status
 Of Players.

New York, Nov. 24.-Frank l.. Woodward, of Denver, president of the United States Golf Association says there will be no official rating of golf players for next season. MT. Woodward who is here today, says there will be two names at the head of the list, those of the open and anna teur. champions. All the others will be grouped alphabetically. He adds: While the minor bodies will un- doubtedly have a pretty good idea as to where their leading golfers belong they will, because of local pride or sentiment, naturally be inclined to be liberal with their findings and as a result include players who may be doubtful in rc opinion of the execu- tive comn1ii >n which, of course, must be the final court.
 'The United States Golf Associa- ton is not going to let up in the least j" it's effort to keep the game free
 .on taint. Amateurs must be pure .r they are to remain as amateurs. Certain ones who have been playing with fire have been spoken to by the committee and they have given as- surance that in future they will keep entirely within bounds.

 "DEFECTIvE' CASE
Baby Will Probably Die Without
 Operation :

New York, Nov. 24.-A case re- sembling that of the Bollinger baby of Chicago developed here today when a New York physician confront ed the question whether the life of defective baby should be saved by surgical operation, despite the wishes of the parents.
 The baby, a girl was born last night Mentally the child appeared to be normal but is paralyzed below the waist, has club feet, distorted knee joints and spinal ailment which, physicians say, will prove fatal if an operation is not so6n performed.
 pr. Julius Goldsmith the attending physician, notified the parents that the child's life could be saved only by a promr operation He said af- terward "t parents absolutely re- fuse permi n for the necessary op- eration. luld probably save the childs life. ..!though it would always remain helplessly crippled. There is no action that can take without tke permission of the parents"
 The father of the defective baby said: 'I believe the Chicago physl- clan was right. For the sake of hu- manity, I had rather see this child die now than have it live seven or eight years in misery and suffering. It is a hard thing to say but it would be better dead"

 Says Baron Ishii.

Paris, Nov. 24, 5:25 a. m.-Japan is willing to send a strong army to Europe if the need arises, the Petit Parisien says. A statement to this effect is credited to Baron Ishii, Jap anese foreign minister, by G. Le- chartier, TokiO correspondent Of this newspaper. He quotes Baron Ish1i as follows: Thus far we have not con- sided the eventuality of sending an army to Europe, but if there is oc- casion therefor Japan will immediate ly send in one expedition very strong army. Japan does not intend to risk a check"
 In regard to the supplying of arms for Russia by Japan, the foreign min ister is said to have remarked:
 Russia does not need men, as only one-third of the men mobilized have been armed. By the end of the month Japan will have done much toward arming completely the other two- thirds"

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands HaveDiscoveredDr. Edwards Olive Tablets are
 a Harmless Substitute

Dr, Edwards Olive Tablets--the substi- tute for calomel-are Q mild but sure laXa- tive, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of pr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets.
 These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the. teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums So do strong liquids.
 It is best not to take calonel, but to let pr. Edwards Olive Tablets take it's place.
 Most headaches, 'dullness'' and that disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy'. and "heavy." Note how they 'clear' clouded brain and how they "perk up'' the spirits. At 10c and 25c per box All druggists.

NATURALIZATION IS
 AIDED BY SCHOOLS
Many Towns Adopt Plan Sue-
 geSted by Bureau

Washington, Nov. 24.-Strong SUD- port is being given the bureau of naturalization's plan to enlist the CO., operation of the public schools of the country in the education and Ameri- canization of candidates for citizen ship it was announced today.

 During the current scholastic year all superintendents of schools where classes may be formed will receive monthly from the bureau the name, address, age, and nationality of each alien residing within the jurisdiction who files a declaration of intention or petition for naturalization. This will enable school authorities to get in touch with such applicants and aid them in preparing for citizenship.
 The wives of all petitioners for naturalization also are advised to at tend school.
 The records of the bureau show that since the commencement of the school year on Oct. 1, notifications have been sent to approximately 40,- 900 declarants, 10000 petitioners, and 5000 wives of petitioners.
 Over half million foreign born residents annually come within the Jurisdiction of the bureau, and it is the plan of the bureau, through the cooperation of the public schools to change that portion of the alien body, now said to be in a condition of help less dependence or more self main tenance, to the state of productive capacity
