MILLS PRODUCE
TOO HEAVILY
Conditions In the Lumber In.
dustry Are Far From
Promising

CHICAGO. ILL.,. June 16.-The con.
ditions In the lumber industry are
far from promising. In spite Of the
volume OF big recent orders, the
mills OF the country have been pro-
ducing at too heavy a rate, and un.
less there Is a change. the statistics
indicate that there may be reason
to fear n return OF the depression
which marked 1913 and 1914. The
chart prepared each month by the
National Lumber Manufacturers as
rociation indicates that the volume
OF production has passed the volume
OF shipments and orders. and that
production IL increasing while ship
ments are decreasing.
This condition. however. is being
recognized in some sections OF the
country by the manufacturers. On
the west coast. many mills are cur.
failing production. by shortening the
hours of operation OF their mills
materially. Some OF the smaller
mills have not thought such a
course necessary. but the larger
producers are realizing that the
curtailing OF production is an,>eco-
nomic necessity of the industry.
The southern pine manufacturers
are also in many instances begin
ming to curtail production. Such
curtailment Is in no way ger eral, but
IL rather a sporadic realization OF
the need Of preventing overproduc'
ton TO an extent that might 3. rious.
" affect general business in the in.
dustry.
This condition follows a period
OF big orders. which usually pre-
cedes the summer inactivity in
building.

MILITIAMEN REFUSING
 TO DO FEDERAL DUTY CAN'T QUIT SERVICE

Boston, June 29-Adjutant Gem era1 Charles A. Cole announced to- day that he had received a commun1- cation from the war department notf- flying him that discharges granted members of the militia, who refused to take the federal oath or members with dependent families were illegal. The communication called attention to a section of the law which pro vides that militiamen who refuse to be mustered into. the federal service upon demand of the President shall be subject to courtmartial.
 General Cole said that between 500 and 800 men had refused to take the oath and that he had issued about 50 discharges in the belief that he was within his rights under the law. Tn view of the war departments in terpretation of the statute he said that he would order all militiamen who had returned to their homes from the camp at Birmingham to report at the campaign.

 The will of Mrs. Emily A. Bennett was presented in the probate court, Tuesday. Acting Judge Howard Woodman of Bethel, set July as the date for the hearing.
 , The railroad station platforms and grounds were crowded at all hours the past few days by young and old to cheer the departing soldiers. Flags waved and greetings passed between friends of some of the heroes, who formerly lived in NewtoWn and bou- quets were thrown through the open windows or upon the platforms of fthe swiftly moving cars by women. Station Agent T. M. Ho1ian and his i efficient assistant, George Jordan, had much ado to keep the tracks clear, and look after the safety of the high Iy excited popu1ace.
 With the banquet of the alumni of i the high school, Monday night, at the Inn, the last of the post.commence- nnenA exercises for 1916 are over. Off, fcers were elected for the ensuing var, and tn graduating class initiated into the association. After the ban quet, dancing was enjoyed until after midnight. l Coroner Phe1an came to Newtown. Tuesday morning and held an inquiry into the circumstances of the death of John Riordan, who was struck by an 1 automobile last Friday in Sandy Hook, and fatally hurt, dying at the Danbury hospital 24 hours later.

DR. LIEBKNECHT JAILED; 0USTED
 FROM HIS POST
German Socialist Convicted of High Treason and Other
 OffenSeS.

Berlin, June 29.-A secret court martial yesterday sentenced Karl Liebknecht, the Berlin Socialist lead CT, to dismissal from the army and thiry months imprisonment for at tempted high treason, gross insubor- dination and resistance to the author ities
 The sentence is the lowest penalty which legally could be imposed on a person found guilty of these offenses The court-martial, however it was announced, took the view that Dr. Liebknecht in taking the course of active opposition to the Government, which he has followed since the be- ginning of the war, was guided by his fanatic adherence to his extreme rad ical Socialist and anti-miIitarist be- liefs, and not by unpartiotic feeling or hostility to his country.
 Has the Right to Appeal
 Although he was tried by court martial as a member of the army (the Landstrum), Dr. Liebknecht has the right to appeal from his sentence. |. Whether he will exercise that pri- vilege is not known.
 When the court-martial convened this morning a crowd of people was waiting in hope of being present, but after a brief conference it was an
  Prosecutor the court had decided to sit with closed doors 'in the interest of public security"
 The newspapers were forbidden to publish any reports of the trial only the. verdict and sentence being reveal ed.
 Arranged Peace Demonstration.
 The charge on which Dr. Lieb- knecht was tried grew out of his ac- tive participation in a May Day peace demonstration in Berlin. which he also was accused of having helped arrange. Parliamentary immunity was claimed for him, but not allowed. An attempt to cause the Reichstag to order his release was voted down in that body.
 Dr. Liebknecht already had been expelled from the Socialist party be- cause of his attacks on the war policy of the government. He was thei only member of the Reichstag to speak against and vote against the first war credits, in August, 1914. | Considerable comment was caused l in Berlin by the coincidence of the 1 trial of Dr. Liebknecht for attempted l treason with the trial of Sir Roger Easement in London for high treason. | The presiding officer at Dr. Lieb- 1 knecht's trial is a major in the Ger man army. He was assisted by two civilian counsel1ors and captain and first lieutenant sitting with him on | the court. Dr. Liebknecht, it is known, protested vigorously against | having, his trial held in secret, and demanded full publicity. He was | overru1ed.
 The Berliner Tageb1att has been compelled to suspend publication by | order af the T1iIitaTv a1Ith critics.

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES.

The members and friends of the high school were elated at the success which attended the baseball team at New Haven Saturday, when they de- feated Midd1etOwn, thereby winning the state championship. The boys will celebrate their victory tonight at the Y. M. c. A. with as many horns and sticks of red fire as they can pro- cure.
 This morning the members of the team assembled at Capt. Fosters room and elected H. DeF'orest Lockwood, as ca ptain for next year. The selection meets with general approval, Mr. ] lockwood is very popular with the 1Iembers of the team and of the school. Of the players who will leave school this year, Captain Foster is head and shoulders above any athlete this city or even the state has/ever produced. Without any special training, he de- feated Luce of Hartford last year in the quarter mile race, in the fast time of 52 seconds, creating a new record for the state. His fine football play ing last fall did much toward landing the pennant in this city. His work in baseball is well known. In addi- ton to his fine work in athletics, he has always ranked high in his studies. MT. Foster will enter the New York University next September.
 Robert Keane, Who was captain of
 
 Yale Medical school in the fall. MT. Keane is a very modest unassuming young man and his friends are legion. He caught all the season for the high school team, and has been selected to play on the Victors during the vaca- ton.
 The other men leaving school this year who have been prominent in ath- letics are Quinn, Budau, Dewitt, Ives and Lamson. Quinn has played on the high school and Y. M. c. A. teams, and is undoubtedly one of the best ie1ders among the schools of the state. Budau has acquitted himself creditab1y in baseball and football and Ives is the p1ucky little end of last years foot ball team, whose grit evoked cheer af- ter cheer on Yale field. Lamson play ed tackle on last years team and was a tower of strength in that position. Manager DeLaney's successful man agement of the baseball team is re- sponsib1e in a measure for this city winning the championship. At ev- cry meeting of the league, MT. Della ney stood brave1y for the rights of Bridgeport and showed that he could not be bu11dozed. He has been cho- sen to captain the football team next year.

great navy.
 This and a great deal more can Lappen. If we ever let the enemy get into the country We shall never be able to put them out. However, all this writing and talking does but little good, and by the time we are ready to do something in real preparedness, It will be too late, and. it may take, years to force the enemy back across the Pacific at the greatest cost of hu- man life that we have ever dreamed of. You may say this is a pessimistic view of the future, I agree with you it is, but whe none takes a night off and buries his her head in the Book Of Revelation, in that book of books, the Bible, I assure you he sees there have been a great many things that have come to pass; all that is left is the bat tie of rmageddon to fulfill the pro- phecy. If I understand it rightly, 1t is the heathens and the united Chris tians that will fight the greatest bat tie of the history of the world Can we be so sure that Japan will never lead these hordes of Asiatics into Eu- rope and across the ocean, when the white races have finished their deadly work of killing and leave Europe in a helpless condition before their enemies and our enemies?
 I have strayed somewhat from my story of present-day conditions, but as
 
 ming, and no one can tell where it will end.
 Our batt1ep1ane arrives next We'd nesday and will receive it's final tests on the bay. It is made of steel throughout and covered with a spe- cia1 linen, covered with fire and wa terproof coating which forms the wings tail and rudder. It carries two ma chine guns, a pilot, observer and gun ner, also 50 gallons of gasoline. Is 48 feet from tip to tip of wings with an S-foot depth, weighs 2,00O pounds and is equipped with a 40 H. P. Stur- tevant motor, which will drive this big machine 105 miles per hour. As the government is short of machines and especially this type, it will be only a, matter of a week or so when it will be shipped to the eastern coast of Mex ico to be used in the blockade. Our corps has been ready for o days wait ing the shipment of the above-men- toned seaplane. Now that the call has come for aviators, I expect to be sent som ewh ere along the coast south of Brownsville, Tex. will, however, be able to get home for A hours leave and will drop in to see you.

SPANISH OUTRAGE.
(Continued.)

sarhe Spanish Lieutenant, was then hailed from the Diana, and he ordered Captain Cunningham to proceed to the Diana; before he went, he ordered the coIors down, which the Spanish lieu tenant would not permit to be done The Spanish lieutenant mentioned while on board of us, that we had no right to navigate the Gulf Of Me1lco' that the Spanish king claimed his eX- elusive sovereignty; that we would have no commerce there to protect; that new governor general had ar rived at Vera Cruz, had ordered out all the vessels to secure the coast; that the whole coast was in the state or Fblockade; that their orders were to re- spect the flag of no nation; that to them there was no difference between the flag of the insurgents and pirates
 Gas they termed the Mexican repub- llicans) and the United States. Among other insults equally justif1able, he ac- cused the brave and respectable Capt Porter of the Boxer, of robbing Span ish vessel, and of being a pirate. The Spanish lieutenant was then hailed and proceeded to the Diana, and soon re- turned with, a party of marines, and took possession of the F'irebrand, stat ing that we were to go to Vera Cruz, and if the governor found it alright, he would pay the expense of our de- tention; a real Spanish sentiment; dollars as salve for wounded honor and outraged feelings! Our vessel was searched, and being prisoners, the sig nals, &c., were sunk. The spanish lieutenant was again hailed and pro l we were gratif1ed by the return of our commander, Lieut.. Campbell and the IKig's crew.

CARELEssNEss.

We fully appreciate the alacrity
 with which our citizens hasten to a fire for the purpose of saving the property of their neighbors from the
 devouring element, but while doing so
 we must condemn the reckless haste with which some men rush along the crowded sidewalks, to the consterna- ition and danger of women and chi1- dren. Yesterday, near the Franklin
 House, lady was violently thrown from the sidewalk by the headlong flight of one of those quasi madmen. A little further up State street the same man ran over add very serious Fly hurt a little boy ad girl who were standing on the walk, and when, after all his haste, the mass arrived at the hre-he stopped. We ought to add that he was not a fireman.
