tple, we would only be repulsed..'
 The minister made an allusion to a secret telegram which has been re- ceived. from the Allies. It is signifi- cant that the ambassadors of Eng land, France and Italy have called on the foreign secretary. M. Milukoff concluded his statement by saying:
 Respecting our military needs and means of continuing the war, we are dependent to great extent on the Allies, especially on America. It will be an everlasting blot on our history If there should be a possibility of concluding a separate peace. But the council itself has declared against a separate peace
 M. Tcheidse, president of the coun- eil, repeated previous declarations that the imperialistic feature of the government was unacceptable. He said:
 Neither the soldiers nor the work men are for war. If the government does not mean to hide our watchword of peace without contributions it will have to make itself clear'
 M. Tcheidse called attention to tho fact that there was no interior dis cord and that the only trouble was in respect to Russia's foreign policy.

OFFICIALS REFUSE TO CHANGE. FRONT ON
 MESSAGE TO ALLIES

Petrograd, May 1.-The provisional government, through Premier Lvoff, has declined to modify the note sent to the Allies. The government de- cIares that the ministers are prepared to resign their posts if necessary.
 Premier Lvoff said: Ut is impos< sible to send another note. The tenn porary government will comply with it's duty and leave it's post rather than take such a step, which would menace the country with very serious conse- quences The government under stands fully the responsibili it has assumed in behalf of the country, and in view of that responsibility it is ready to resign if it becomes neces- sary."
 Foreign Secreary Mi1ukoff, con firnling the stand taken by Premier Lvoff, said:
 l'srrhe note expresses the view of the temporary government. It has no other aim. The recent note repeats and develops the idea expressed in the first note, which was worked out in conjunction with the council of depu- ties If we compare the notes it Is clear that the information they con tain constitutes a step forward. The events of yesterday will make the Allies very sad while pleasing our enemies
 In regard to the suggestion of new note, M. Milukoff said such a step was impossible. Such conduct" he continued, toward a foreign govern ment cannot be permitted. If we should attempt to follow route which in my conviction is impractica-

SCHOOL BOYS WILL AID CAMPAIGN FOR CONSERVATION BY LAB0RINC
 IN GARDEN, FARM AND FACTORY

emphasis on the other three depart ments For those boys who do enlist in industrial work, the board of edu- cation is ready to make the concesS- ions that they have for farm work, with the added arrangement that after Nov. 1, they will probably arrange part time attendance, so that the boy can work in the industry part of the time, and attend school the other part.
 Third, enlistment is urged strongly under the division of home gardens. Boys who are not strong enough, nor well enough developed to do farm work can work here, as well as boys under 12 years of age. The home gar den work will be carried out under two classifcations, and will include one list of gardens where the parents agree to supervision from the grad uates of Storrs college, Who are on the grounds through the efforts of the Fairfield Farm bureau, as we'll as those gardens in which the parents will not agree to supervision. Supt. Slawson made it clear to the princi- pals that there was no danger of their overstressing this important part of the work.
 Fourth, tile new departure for the lrDIIQSCpOIL SCuOOlS WdS S5GI up III LiIO form of school gardens. Principals were urged to enlist under the school gardens, boys in the schools who were willing to give a part of their time eevry day that the weather will per- init to work on a school plot, until the
 garden season is over This will be done under the direction of a trained gardener. This work is to be donated, and to ne faced periodically. Noth- | ing vii be paid for labor. The boys will donate their labor, and the board of education will arrange for the blowing, and donate the seeds neces- sary. The thought back of this move
 ment is that it is tho duty of every American to give toward the common good, and all that the boys have to
 give is labor. The representatives of
 storrs college will take an especial in- iterest in the school garden plots, and
 will encourage healthy competition be-
 tween the boys of each plot. It is to
 be hoped that the produce gathered from the plots can be sent to the
 school kitchens, and the girls of the l domestic science classes taught how Ito can this floor for winter use.
 l When these cards are returned tc
 the board of education office, the city
 will have for the first time definite statement of the resources of the inn 1 mature labor. This will at once fur nish information available for the use of the Farm bureau, the Fairfield County Resource committee, and the
 Home Garden committee. Parents are urged to approach this matter fol their boys from patriotic standpoint An unusual amount of energy, whicF
 is not utilized elsewhere can be lined up on the productive side, through the boys in the grammar schools

ANTHRACITE COAL PRICES

HOSE WHO travel by railroad have for months observed l the number of loaded with tracked along the lines of traffic
 This phenomenon explained today in the report of the Federal Trade commission which partially accomplished an investigation into the anthracite coal supply.
 There'is anpe supply of coal The cost of mining has recently been increased from 24 to 30 by wage Prices for May at the mines S361 net segg, $384 fdr stove and $393 for chestnut coal There is for shortage, there is shortage There is justification for exorban prices, though charged The people warned not any quantity they do they will play into the hands of the speculators
 The peculaors have increased prices by storing paying demurrage and shipping it from place place
 To end this unpatriotic condition by which the people deprived of coal the commission recommends legislation to coal specuation punish those charge ant prices to keep coal moving from point loading to destination.
 Those of the people of Bridgeport who employ good udg will heed the advice which is thus presented to their sderaton.a Presently coal will be normal prices
