SIGNAL SYSTEM UNDERGROUND.
"Weatherproof and Foolproof" Is Or der from New Haven Headquar- ters.

Following the destruction of its sig nal system and the almost complete paralysis of its passenger and freight traffic by sleet and snow storm of ten days ago, the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad has ar ranged to put all of its signal tele- phone and telegraph wires under ground.
 Make the signal system weather proof and fool-proof," is the order from headquarters.
 The latest estimate of the loss to the railroad by the storm exceeds $1,O00,O00. The blow fell when the road was gorged with the greatest and the paralysis of that traffic was even worse than was that of the pas senger traffic.
 Orders to the operating officials to put the phone signal and telegraph wires under ground already have been given by the executive board of the road and work to that end already has begun.
 The propulsion wires will not be dis turbed. They stood the gale and sleet practically intact
 Owing to the difficulty of opening
 the frozen earth for such a long dis tance in winter, the wires will be built l up temporarily in the form of four cable, and these containing twenty | five wires each will be strung during January and February on the iron poles at the side of the track sup | porting the trolley wires. l As soon as the ground is break | able. about March l next, the actual work of digging the conduits will com- | menCe. All the wires will be under | ground at the end of next summer, ii | is expected.
 l The cost of the conduit is estimated 1 at about sI5,000 a mile, or not less l than SLIPS, 900 for the completed un- | dertaking. The conduit will be of con- crete in some places and in others oi vitrified brick or creosoted wood. l Meantime, the New Haven has lait its telephone and telegraph wires or the ground, in a temporary way. They are not to go up on the poles again | Meantime, also, the signal wire. have been temporarily repaired anC the railroad has resumed full and reg.
 ular traffic service, both freight anC passenger.

HOW FRANCE SAFEGUARDEO
 MOBILIZATION OF ITS ARMY
All Subjects Were Looked Up and
 Inscribed In a Mote Book'.I


 Paris. Dec. 22-CCorrespondence of The Associated Press)-In the sixteen months since France went to war it is declared that there has been only one case of an attempt made by ViO- ience to interfere with the ConCentra- tion of the army and the prosecution of the war. This fact is being pointed out in justification of the action which Minister of the Interior Malvy took in resisting suggestions that all reVO- lutionary leaders, anarchists and per sons suspected of disloyalty to the re- public be arrested on the eve of the issuing of the general mobilization order.
 The names of five thousand of these suspects were, previous to the war. inscribed in what was known as Notebook B. It had been the gov ernments plan, in case of mobiliza- ton, to have all these people con- fined, at least while the mobilization was going on, but Minister Malvy, on whom the responsibility devolved, found himself between two fires. The Socialist leaders implored him not to take action, declaring it would only infiame turbulent elements. On the other hand, the police, and cautious members of the cabinet endeavored to impress upon him the gravity of the responsibility he would assume in leaving at liberty persons who had boasted that in case of war they would prevent the mobilization of the army by violence.
 Jean Jaures, the leader of the So- cialist party, who was to fall under an assassin's hand the very night the mobilization order was issued, and Gustav Nerve, who had been one of the most violent anti-militant lead CTS, assured M. Malvy that the SoCi- alists and the members of the Labor Federation would show themselves as loyal aS any other category of French citizens and that it would be a crime to issue orders for the arrest of the men whose names were inscribed in | Note Book B..

AGRICULTURE DEPT. IN GERMANY DOING
 CREDiTABLE WORK

Berlin, June 1o-The states super vision of the agricultural resources of the country has been brought to a high state of perfection during the past few months. Questions of cred it's, supplies, labor and marketing, have all received attention. In fact, every effort has been made to adapt the country to the new conditions
 Much effort was needed to trans form the organization of credit which so powerfully supports German agra rian interests, in accordance with the require ernents of war
 One of the acutest difficulties was the supply of artificial fertilizers, since the importation of nitrates and guano had ceased. The problem has been in general solved by the use of. products in which use is made of the store of nitrogen in the air In this, as in other respects, Ger many hopes il the future to be self supporting.
 The German Farmers Supply ,Asso- citation. originally an agency for the purchase and distribution of a spe- cial manure, has now, at the request of the Imperial Government, become the central organization for the whole supply and distribution of cattle foods and fertilizers. It has also taken over the folders and fertilizers which were seized ana sent to G0I11eA4ys A4OA44 the occupied districts of Belgium eF'rance and Poland.
 The labor difficulty was also g, seri- ous problem. A special organization was formed to supply 1abor-sav1ng agricultural machinery to farmers, and it is stated that 100000 laborers are to be brought from the devastated districts of Poland. Prisoners of war will also be used; there are over a million prisoners in the various camps of Germany and Austria, and more and more of them are being used as farm 1aborers. In many places they may be seen in their va ried uniforms, at work in the fields, The women, also. have been mobilized for agricultural labor.
 All the German cities and towns are turning to account their waste land Cologne, for example, has made con- tracts with farmers to sow 1,5OO acres with peas for the city, and to cu1d- vate potatoes on every available piece of ground within the city limits.
