NEW HAVEN RECEIVES
 BROTHERHOOD DEMANDS

New Haven, March 31-The de- naands of engi1emen and trainm en on the New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad, in the concerted move ment of railroad organizations through out the country to obtain the eight hour day and other changes in time and wage schedules, was present ed to General Manager c. L. Bardo yesterday, who has acknowledged them in reply made public today. This reply is the uniform one presented by all roads, on which demands have been made to the local committee of the big five brotherhoods.
 Mir. Bardo says the demands will be given consideration and a reply made as soon as practicable. He points out that the existing schedules are satisfactory to the company as they have been the fruit of, mediation and arbitration. But in considering the demands, schedules which have therefore governed the fixing of runs and wages will be thrown open to dis position in light of the proposals made.

WHY HAIR FALLS OUT

Dandruff causes feverish irritation of the scalp. the hair roots shrink, loosen and then the hair comes out fast. To stop falling hair at once and rid the scalp of every particle of dan inc at any drug store, pour a little in your hand and rub well into the scalp. After a few applications all dandruff disappears and the hair stops coming out.-Adv.

THE LITTLE SALLIEs OF THE
GERMAN NAVY.

! In the strictest Interpretation Of the ex-
preston. the German navy is not bot
tied up" The ships are able to make
| forays from their bases and dash back
again, as the feet Of warships did on
| April 25 when it approached the English
coast and attacked for 20 minutes. But
in the sense that the war vessels of the
German empire have been rounded up
from the high seas and driven, for pro-
lection. into German waters. the express
sion il accurate enough. That the com
bined fleet is able to come forth from
that protection when it is designated
that it should come forth goes without
saying 1t also goes without saying that
the combined British and French naves
will be ready to receive them in terrible
combat However it does not seem like
" that the German feet viii come forth
till the end Of the war. for it would be
running into destruction to attempt to
break forth from the present protection.
Moreover, little good would be accom-.
plished if some Of the warships should
break through the Gordon Of the entente
ships because. alone or in small groups,
the fugitive ships would be hunted down
on the seven seas until they were run to-
port or destroyed, just as all fugitive
German warships were put out OF com-I
mission year ago. So, for all practical
results, the German navy, barring its
submarines, is useless. Frightened
dashes from a naval base to fire a few
shots at England and then skittering
back again win never accomplish any
thing, win not even harry the English
people.

The lack of success attending the Brit
ish war efforts on the Tigris river seems
to indicate that the better fighting and
better differed troops were retained for
the defense of the allies lines nearer
home territory. At the same time it
must be admitted that the operations on
the Tigris river are more difficult be-
cause OF the long distance from a base
of supplies, or from loyal territory.
That accounts in part for the meagre
success against a foe which is conceded
to be inferior to the Germans who are
opposing the British on the western
front However. it seems almost certain
that with the cooperation of the driving
Russian troops in the north the British
will be able to accomplish their purpose
in Mesopotamia providing they are al
lowed time enough. because the Turks
are growing weaker In resources with
every months continuance Of the war.

CURRENT COMMENT
Criminal Ineffciency.

The chase for Villa into Mexico has
brought absolute proof that the gov,
ernment's aviation service IL a fraud on
the republic and serious reflection on
those responsible for it. The machines
are absolete, those who attempt to fly in
them take their lives in their hands, and
six of the eight machines that crossed
the border have been converted into
junk.
1t is a sorry tale of inefiiciency where
the highest efficiency should have pre-.
vailed. While other countries have taken
advantage Of every development in aero
nautics for the benefit Of their army
service, and while the war in Europe has
furnished powerful evidence for months
that flying machines are now an abso,
lutte necessary, this country has been
content to rely on antiquated aeroplanes
which. on their first serious test, have
failed miserably.
We rise with patriotic sentiment
whenever the "Star Spangied Banner" is
sung in public, but we sit idly by while
the money of the taxpayers. which
should be devoted to the cause Of the
taxpayers, is dissipated year after year
in maintaining useless army posts and
superhuous navy yards for purely politi-
cal graft.-Boston Traveller.

CALLS McADoo DIscoURTEoUS.
For Abruptly Leaving Peru with Interna-

official statement issued by the Peru
Wan government, accusing Secretary Nc
Adoo and the international high com
mission of discourtesy in abruptly leay.
ing Peru, was forwarded to Washington
yesterday.
With it went copies of several Peru.
Wan newspapers which charge that Me
Adoois action was an outrage on the
Peruvian government. The newspapers
report that Secretary McAdoo ordered
the cruiser Tennessee to sail few hours
after her arrival because OF rnmors of
bubonic plague and because of fear that
his party would not be permitted b.
stop at Panama by the health authori-
ties. They declare that the party, there
fore, put Peru in the same class with
Panama, Colombia and small republics.
Nearly 100 leading business men and
financiers waited for two hours at ban
quet tables for the arrival OF the Me-
Adoo party before learning of their dc,
parture. The newspapers assert that the
incident is severe blow to the cont
mercial prestige of the United States in
South America.

The capture Of Pablo Lopez by Car
