ASSERTS GERMAN .U-BOAT WARP ARE. IS SUCCESSFUL

Amsterdam, via London, Feb. >27- In an interview in the Taegliche Rundschau, Albert Ballin, director general of the Hamburg American line, says that Germany may well be satisfied with the success so far of un- restricted submarine warfare. Herr Ballin says that the object of the cam paign was not to sink ships, but to stop commerce with England, and that this had been fully attained, as neiatE1 xfac wRss stagnating.
 Referring to the German ships 1y- ing in United States harbors, Herr Ballin said that treaty existed be- tween Germany and America which did not allow opnfiscation and that 4e had no ground to assume that the Uni- ted States would not observe this treaty. President Wilson, he added, had based the rupture of relations on international law and therefore he felt 1t quite imp ossible that the pres idsnt ahinse1f Would disregard inter- national agreements.
 "Gcrmany's aim,' he concluded, 'is to issue from the war victorious. With victory she will then have won all without it she will have lost all.''

Legion of Honor
 Seeks Division
 Of Pension Status

Paris, Feb. 27-A revision of the statutes of the Order of the Legion of Honor is the object of bill just in- troduced in the Chamber of Deputies The intention is to make a distinction in the pension allowances between members of the Legion who earned the red ribbon under fire and those were decorated as a distinction for civilian services or military services behind the front.
 The Legion of Honor now distri- butes about 10,O00,000 francs per year in pensions on the following schedule established in 1852:
 Holders of the Grand Cross 5000 francs per year; Commanders 2,0O0 francs per year: Officers 500 francs per year; Chevaliers 25O francs per year.
 The authors of this project recall that the fundamental idea of the Le- zion of Honor was the official conse- cration of bravery. They propose pensions limited to 25O francs per year for soldiers and officers of all grades promoted during the war, and excluding from their benefits all those who were not decorated or promoted for actual courage under the enemy's

STANDARD WIDTHS
 FOR WAGON TIRES

As the result of a long series of trac- ton tests on earth and gravel roads, the U. s. Department of Agriculture recommends that the following widths of tire be adopted generally by manufacturers for wagons of differ ent carrying capacities:
 one horse wagon, 2,000 pounds, 2 inches; light two-horse wagon, $500 pounds, 1-2 inches; medium two- horse wagon, 4,500 pounds, 3 inches: standard two horse wagon, $500 pounds, inches; heavy two horse wagon, 7,500 pounds, 5 inches.
 These five types. says the circular. should be sufficient to meet all the needs of farming operations and gen eral work, except the heaviest truck ing and certain specialized hauling which is likely to be confined to city pavements. The circular recom- mends, therefore, that a name be adopted for each of these sizes and that the wagons be determined &C., cording to their gross load capacity. The gross carrying capacity of the wagon should be shown. it is said. by stencil or plate on the back of the rear nx1A

MACHINE TONE LIKE OWN VOICE
 OF NOTED SINGER
Miss Gardner Gives Wonderful Test at Casino Before
 Great Audience.

A mere machine, thing of wood, steel and brass occupied the attention of some 1000 persons at the Casino, dast might, who were interested in an event that was both a concert and a competition. MT. Edison's wonderful diamond disc photograph was on trial.
 Miss Ida Gardner, a contralto who has been rapidly gaining attention and fame, sang with her own records, so that the two voices, her own and that of the machine, were 1ndistingufsh- able. She sang duets with herself, rendering the counter melddy in a number of beautiful songs. .
 Miss Gardner was assisted by liar old Lyman, a personal representative of MT. Edison, and a talented f1utist. He gave the same sort of test, instru- ment against Edison records, with the amazing result that even the most gifted ears found 1t impossible to per ceive where one began, or the other ended.
 An interesting feature of the lest was the rendering of the simple old ballad, Sweet Genevieve." Miss Gard ner sang with the record The lights were turned out, and the audience was left to guess when she was singing, and when she was not. The guesses wre as diverse as might be imagined, but when the lights were turned up it was seen that Miss Gardner had left the stage. %
 As a matter of fact Miss Gardner left the stage the instant the lights were turned down, and all guesses that included her voice, from this point, were erroneous.
 The concert was under the auspices of the Alfred Fox Piano company. MT. Fox, head of the company, gave a dinner at The Stratfeld, in honor of Miss Gardner, which was attended by a few guests prominent in the world of music.
 Miss Gardner and MT. Lyman left at 1:36 this morning to keep a tonight enga cement in Manchester. N. H

BETTER THAN CALOMEl
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are
 Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards Olive T>5lets-the sub. stitute for calomel-are mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver i almost instantaneous. They are the re suit of Dr. Edwards determination no' to treat liver and bowel complaints witt calomel. His efforts to banislr 1t brought out, these little olive-colored tablets.
 These pleasant little tablets do the good that ca1omel does, but have no baG after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the live, at the expense of the teeth? Calome sometimes plays havoc with the gums So do strong liquids. It is best not te take ca1omel, but to let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
 Most headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel sloggy' anc ssheavy." Note how they 'clear" cloudef brain and how they "perk up' the spii ;ts. 1Oc and 25c box. All druggists

NAVY UNIT FOR YALE STUDENTS
 NOW PROJECTED

New Haven, Feb. 27.-Yale under graduates who have a liking for the sea are asked by Prof. Mather Ab- bolt, resident coach and assistant to Guy Nickalls, the crew coach, in an announcement made to-day, to form a naval unit. Those who join will be given the opportunity of taking the oath for government coast defense service in event of war. One grad uate has given $1, ,000 toward prelim- inary expenses. For the present hte theory fo coastwise navigation and signalling will be taken up.
 The coast defense service will be largely in the maintenance of a coast patrol with motor boats 40 feet in length and upward. Details ashore would be in. connection with organi- zation, supplies, reports and staff work Amateur wireless plants would probably be taken over by the coast patrol.

PRESIDENT WILL SIGN
 FEWER COMMISSIONS

Washington, Feb. 27.-Under a rul- ing of the judge advocate general of the army the president is relieved of the task of signing commissions for officers of lower grade in the army and hereafter will sign only the commits sions of general officers. For otfl- cers of lower grade the signature of the secretary of war "as by the pres ident," it is held, will comply with the law.
 The ruling lifts heavy burden off the president, particularly in view of proposed increases in the army. It is estimated that if 50,000 officers were commissioned for an army of 5OO,OOO men it would take the president more than a week of full working days to sign the commissions.

Commissioners Clash
 With Highways Dept.
 Over Bill For Repairs

The county commissioners have clashed with the state highway de- partment over bill for $500 for re- pairs to the southbury bridge. The hlghWay department sent the bill to the commissioners who have refused to pay it and have appealed to the state.
 According to the law the expense of repairing a bridge which joints two counties must be divided among the state and the two counties The South'bury bridge joins New Haven and Fairfield counties. The com missioners say they did not get 20 days notice as required by law and also declare the bridge does not come within the scope of the so called trunk line" law because it is not 23 feet wide. The commissioners spent considerable money for repairs or the bridge last year and they say engineers at that time declared the structure was in good condition

GERMANY MAY FIX
 PRICE OF POTATOES

London, Feb. 27.-Adolf Ben, Ba- tocki, president of the food regulation board, discussed food problems. with the Reichstag- advisory committee on Saturday, according to an Amster- dam dispatch. Explaining the plans for the coming year, Herr Batocki said that available stocks were scanty and must be carefully managed. He added that the use of bread grains for fodder must be prevented.
 Herr Batocki announced the inten- ton of the food board to fix the price of potatoes for the entire year at five marks a hundredweight, except in the W est and south of Germany, where it would be six marks. He emphasized the importance of a supply of bread grains and potatoes for everybody and milk for children at least. The food dictator said that it was impos- sible to increase the meat rations ow- ing to the urgent necessity of main taining the stock of milch cows for butter and milk.

 70 SAVE ISLAND FROM A FAMINE
Governor Urges Porto Rican Planters to Raise Stuff for
 Home Consumption.

San Juan, P. R., Feb. 27-So seri- ous is the question of Food supply in Porto Rico that Gov. Wager this week called together the sugar and other large planters of the island and urged them to devote portion of their lands already under cultiva- ton to the raising of beans and other vegetables and fruits for home con- sumption.
 : In the event of war in which the United States became involved the governor told the planters, communl- cation between the island and New York would be interrupted, paralyz1ng commerce, and depriving the people of the necessities of life, almost all of which now are imported. He said that at present the prices of all staples were so high that it was next to i'm possible for the poor man to live.
 "I do not see how it is possible for you to increase wages in propor- tion to the cost of living, but edo believe that if you would plant small crops for home consumption this cost of living would be decreased" the governor told the planters.
 Virtually all the commercial crops of the island, including sugar, tobac- GO, coffee and fruits, are grown for export.
 Today, one week after the calling of the first agricultural strike of the season, there are 25,000 cane field employees out, according to the po- lice, who report that five sugar cen- trals, most of them in the eastern section of the island, are now closed. So far there have been no disorders, according to the police.
 The strikers are demanding; $1 and an eight hour day, the same demand made by them last year. Last year they compromised after an increase had been granted to them.
