TURKS CEDE RAILWAY
 ROUTE TO BULGARIA
Agreement Signed in Constantinopie-- Reported Terms Include Action
 Against Allied Powers.

London, July 26.-A despatch to the Times from Sofia, dated last Friday, says that a convention ced- ing to Bulgaria the Turkish part of the Dedcaghatch railway was signed in Constantinople Thursday.
 For some time past negotiations be- tween Bulgaria and Turkey concern ing the Dedeaghatch railway have been going on. The railroad enters Turkey near the Bulgarian town of Mnustapha Pacha and runs south east to Adrianople, where it turns and runs south and southwest and leaves Turkish territory at Mandra. Thence it proceeds through Bulgarian territory to the port of Dedeaghatch, on the Aegean sea in Thrace.
 A dispatch from Berlin July IS dealing with the negotiations between Bulgaria and Turkey said Turkey was

EIGHT HOUR DAY
 IN NEW ENGLAND
Keppler Says Time Is Now Opportune for Laborers to Start Campaign
 Paper Company Next.

Bridgeport, July 26.-Following a conference of national labor leaders here, at which the labor situation in New England and New York was dis cussed, J. J. Keppler, international yice-president of the machinists' union, last night issued statement in which the belief iS expressed that 1.-the time is now opportune~ to secure an eight-hour day throughout New England with the least possible resist ance.''
 The strike at the plant of the Rem ington Arms & Ammunition Company, which brought the labor heads to this city, was practically ended Saturday night when the machinists ratified an agreement with the company for a working schedule of forty-eight hours a week. The men return to work to- fective August i. Most of the labor leaders left town at the close of the conference The statement says:
 At the conference today we went over the general situation in New England and New York. We agreed to follow out the policy that was
 
 out the men in one shop at a time, except that in Bridgeport we were a bit premature. No particular city and no particular line of indsutry has been decided on, but we will, conf1ne our operations to the factories.
 We feel that the time is now op- perfume to secure an eight-hour day throughout New England with the least possible resistance. We will es- tablish our propaganda in each city we enter by starting paper, the same as in Bridgeport, to foster and further our cause. The Bridgeport Manufacturers Association said that they have had the eight-hour question under consideration for some time It might be well for manufacturers associations all over New England to consider it now more seriously and not wait until trouble is fomented and then try to lead the public to believe

after the fight is won, that they had decided on the move months before.
 Next Tuesday I will go to New York to confer with the representa- tives of eight other international unions regarding the International Paper Company, which operates twenty-nine mills in New England and New York. The E. W. Bliss Com- pany of Brooklyn, which is making projectiles for the Allies, will be next and there are other factories in Brooklyn which will claim our imme- diate attention

Goodrich in constructing the l new bridge on the Turnpike is today | mourning the loss of the tip of his ! little finger on his right hand because he was curious. The man put his fin. ger in a cog wheel at the bridge and the tip was cut off. Dr. M.' H. Gris- wold of Kensington attended him. When asked why he put his finger in

 was curious to see if it would go

 Heavy Traffic Through Ke1isington. } Traffic on Worthington ridge and Farmington road was very heavy yes- 4terday and there was a continual stream of autos passing up and down the highway taxed to their capacity with pleasure seekers coming and go-
 ing from the shore. AS the bridge on
 the Turnpike has been closed, traf-
 fic has been diverted to Pennington
 road and it is said that the mum Der. Of autos which generally pass through
 Kensington at this time of the year
 has been increased two-fold There are some very dangerous spots in Kensington which should be
 protected for the safety of the resi- dents. Vehicles coming down Main street, Kensington, and those coming along Pennington road, beyond the
 Depot bridge, cannot see one another approach as the view is obstructed by the high banks and the bridge. There has consequently been some very mar
 row escapes. Another bad spot IS near Upson's corner. The road here Is divided and runs in four oppo- T& l.. . frps rnn destrians on either road to perceive
 one another approach. To make mat ters worse the trolley tracks pass the
 spot Signs should be posted before these dangerous places to warn au- toists and pedestrians to go slow. A traffic officer should patrol the corners on Sundays when the traffic is always the heaviest.

 Harry Starkie, the ell-known polo player from Hartford, and wife and two occupants Of his large touring car, and MT. and Mrs. c. F.

The oc- cupants of both cars were consider ably shaken up and frightened but no one was seriously hurt Prosecutor, William H.

 The Williams car had the front lights smashed. The springs on the vehicle were broken and the axle was spring. After making g few slight repairs the Massachusetts car was able to proceed on it's way
 Starkie's machine suffered more from the collision. The axles were twisted and one of the front wheels
 
 smashed. The car was abandoned in John sPerry's yard and the occupants left for Hartford ss According to eye witnesses the coll lision was unavoidable. Starkie was coming down the hill near the tracks and was going from Hartford to New Haven. Williams, who was coming in the opposite direction, brought his machine to standstill on the tracks. possibly thinking the Hartford man would make detour around him. Starkie, however, figured that Will Hams would give him the right of way and the collision resulted.
 Williams, who is well-known trucknan in Holyoke, was taking his wife and family to see the capitol of E Connecticut when the accident oc- cured. Instead it became necessary for him to defer the visit until a later date.

Rotterdam, April German news
papers express regret that Germany
did not more adequately protect her
foreign possessions so that they could

The final results have proved that
it is impossible to have power on the

on land That our cruisers were able
to remain on the oceans SO long as

Berlin, April 2.-If the introduction
and universal use of war bread" in
place of fresh white bread, has no
other result it will at least, in the
opinion of prominent medical men,
to masticate their food properly.
Inmates of hospitals especially have
complained of the new bread. At a
recent gathering of hospital physi-
clans, psychologists and psychologists
such complaining persons were term
ed Inconsistencies with weak stomachs.
and it was declared that the war bread
would actually serve to help their con-
dition by making them masticate more
thoroughly.
1t was urged that their 'idiocyncra-
cies" and their dislike of the war
bread be overcome by appeals to their
patriotism, by psychology, by teaching
them to chew properly, and, lastly, by
preparing the new kind of bread stuffs
appetizingly.

GREEK SAILORS IN ENGLAND.
fRr Associated Press

London, April 2.-There have been
more Greek sailors in London in every
month since the war began than Tor
merly in a whole year. Spanish and
Italian sailors have also, been unus-
ually numerous.
The large number of foreign sailors
from the Mediterranean in various
British ports shows the change In
shipping due to the war, for the carry
ing that formerly went to the Ger
mans is now In the hands OF the neu-
trails. There are plenty of German
ships lying up in the southern ports
but they fear to venture out.
Like the Italian merchant marine,
the Greek consists largely of slow
steamers bought second hand from the
British. These boats come up laden
with wines, fruit, marble and the
Egyptian cotton.

German architectural and engineering
societies is seeking to interest young
architects, especially those who have

them down to one locality, to go to

The appointment of number of

technical and artistic rebuilding activ-

Officials of this kind are not now
available, so accidentally trained pri-

must live in the districts they super

Salaries and expenses will vary &C

in which the war has left them. The

HIGHEST" MEMBER KILLED.

Berlin, April 2.-Reservist Joseph
Rieger, who when he was called to
the colors last Aug ISL was dubbed tde
highest" member of the Bavarian
army has been killed in action, after
earning the Iron Cross for bravery.
Rieger earned his sobriquet of
highest" because his home was near
the summit of the Zugspitze. the high
est mountain in Germany and he was
believed to live at greater altiLde
than any man in Germany. He re.
ceived a telephone message when Ger
many began mobilizing, to join the
regiment, and after a difficult and
dangerous descent was down in he
valley within few hours.
