CARSON DECLARES
 GERMAN SOLDIERS
 TO BE BARBARIANS

Paris, Aug. 12.-Sir Edward Carson, in an interview in today's Matin, de- clares that the Germans are barba- rians and should be treated as such.
 "In peace as in war; Sir Edward is barbarian and we should treat him as such. Let all the allied governments declare forthwith to the German peo- pie: Even when we shall have signed peace we. shall not send any diplo- matic representative to Berlin nor re- ceive any diplomatic representative of Germany in our capitals, as long as you Germans shall not have your selves punished all those who have been guilty of murder, all those who have violated those International laws which were set up in the interests of humanity during past centuries which hay witnessed progress of .civiliza- tion.'
 There is still another reason which makes such action necessary: neutral powers have passively looked on at the violation of customs of law estab- lished by all nations. They have been powerless or unwilling to protest If, then, a special penalty does not show clearly that these laws cannot be transgressed, that these usages can- not be violated with impunity, we must renounce in future all hope of introducing into war rules of human ity and hence no nations in the world would see any use in sending repre- sentatives to a Hague convention or any other diplomatic conference"

UNION PRINTERS
 TO AID INQUIRY
 ON PAPER COST

Baltimore. Aug. 12-The possi bility that thousands of printers may be thrown out of work because of the high cost of white paper was said to be g. question seriously concerning the delegates to the 62nd annual conven- ton of the International Typographi- cal Union which will begin here next Monday. Tho committee on laws. through whose hands all new laws for submission to the convention must first pass. has been in session for sev- eral days, considering about 100 amendments and new laws submitted by local unions The delegates be- gan arriving in large numbers to- day.
 J. W. Hayes, secretary and treasur- CT of the union. said the alarming shortage of print paper is making it difficult for many newspaper corpora tions to continue business. In some cities, he said. there was talk of con- solidating two or more plants to re- duct working forces and expenses. 5
 That the union probably will de- eide to cooperate in a federal inves- tigation to determine whether there is a conspiracy among paper manufac- turers was the belief expressed by union leaders.
 The convention will hold brief session on Monday for organization and appointment of committees.

VAST INCREASE
 IN ICE CREAM
 SALES IN CITY
Manufactories of the Frozen Sweets Taxed Beyond
 Their Capacities.

Whether the succulent ice cream cone is increasing its hold upon the home folks or the common people are buying more pints and quarts is not certain, but it is an assured fact that more ice cream has been consumed in this city this summer than ever before. One wholesale dealer estt- mated today that 2oo, 900 gallons were sold here during the month of July. This is a big increase over the sales of any one previous month.
 One of the local plants, which does the largest wholesale business. sold over 100000 gallons during July. It was stated by an official of this com pany that more could have been dis posed of if the capacity of the plant had been greater. In many cases this company had to refuse small orders from persons who were not regular customers because it was not possible to take care of all the trade.
 During the first few days of this month all local plants were rushed with orders and many of the stores in shopping centre has sold all their brick cream before night. Two or three cool days this week caused the demand to decrease somewhat so un- less the remainder of this month is unusually hot the July record for ice cream consumption may not be broken. In past years it is estimated that the average sale for July or Aug ust would not be more than 65,000 gallons

STANISLAU, LEMBERG'S OUTPOST, CAPTURED BY
 RUSSIAN CARS HOSTS
275,OOO Russians Lost
 In Drive, Berlin Hears

Berlin. Aug. 12 (delayed)-The correspondent. of the Zeitung am Mittag at Austrian headquarters describes the enormous losses Of the Russians during the summer offensive. The correspondent says the Russian censorship passed the statement that as many as 75 trains loaded with wounded were moved daily on the line to Kieff alone. Easing his estimate partly on the official list kept at Kfeff. the cor respondent places the Russian killed or wounded in the summer offffensive at 275,oo0 men.
 "The Russians the correspond ent continues, "are fighting much more bravely than in 1915. Then the Russians in their trenches often threw up their arms as sign of surrender, without making resistance worth mention against the attacking Germans and Aus trians. This is now most rare. The new troops are brave and we'll disciplined, and their officers lead their lines into the thickest of the fight. Hence the mortality among officers is very neavy. including generals"

REPUBLICANS IN SECOND PILE UP
 REGISTRATIONS
Scrap Between Kelly and Northey Factions Becomes
 Hot As Primaries Near.

Registration for the primaries will close at g o'clock tonight The registrars of voters will be in their office in the city hall until o'clock this afternoon and from to 9 o'clock tonight for the purpose of receiving applications. Registration closed in all other towns and cities in the state last night. The Bridgeport regis trars allow one day more than the other towns and cities.
 Up to today nearly 500 applications had been received by the registrars, only about 150 of which were new ap- plications. The others were changes. Most of the changes are from the voters of the Second district. In fact more applications have come from this district than the other elev- en put together. The Eleventh dis trict was second today and the Eighth third in the number of applications.
 The activity in the Second is said to be occasioned by the factional row brewing between the Republicans there. Assistant City Clerk James P. Kelly is leading a movement against Andrew J. Northey. The latter is a member of the Republican town committee from the district and has long been power there. If the Kel- ly delegation wins at the Republican primaries to be held on the evening of August 24, member of that faction will be named on the town committee to succeed MT. Northey.
 No contests are looked for at the Democratic primaries and consequent ly no effort is being made by them beyond getting the names of the new voters on their lists. Town Chair man Hugh J. Lavery has not yet de- cided on the date for the primar-

ITALIANS FIRMLY
 HOLDING CORIzIA, NORTnCLIFFESAYS

London, Aug. 12.--Lord Northcliffe. in despatch to the Times from Gort- zia dated Thursday, says:
 "Gorizia is now firmly Italian. The lbillboards are still covered with .1cr- man advertisements and German newspapers still hang in the racks out side the shops, but brilliant Italian flags futter from the windows of villas and the inhabitants wave friendly sig nals to the masses of gray-clad infan- try who sweep their way through the city on the way to the conquest of the Carso.
 we entered what was so lately Austrian territory at Cormons and after motoring for an hour and half through clouds of dust raised by the outgoing transport of men, guns. r1u- transport of Red Cross, we arrived in sight of the serpentine Isonzo.
 ''On the way we examined the Ital- ian and Austrian trenches which, for many long months had been within speaking distance of each other. So accurate was the Italian artillery fire that while the Italian trenches, neatly lined with steel lattice work, were still 1nLaCI, those or Ln0 eHeuly IlneQ Wlbn a kind of wickerwork, were almost as badly smashed as the German trenches on the Somme.
 "On the left rose Mount Sabotino, the key to the formidable Gorizia bridgehead When last Sunday the mount was taken by the Italians, it's loss, combined with the terrific bonn bardment that has so sadly marred the charm of Gorizia, caused the Aus trians to flee. How unexpected was the retreat may be judged from the fact that among the booty were many .mules laden with hot rolls for the Austrian officers breakfast"
 Tho writer interviewed Lieutenant General Count Cadorna, commander in-chief of the Italian force in Gorizia
 Though worn out by the continu- ous fighting since Sunday says Lord Northclife, though unshaven and without sleeps the general was prompt and alert. T hope to do better said General Cadorna. Our front line is now several miles beyond Gorizia and the cavalry is getting to work"
