A WORTHY CHARITY.

With all the preparations for war the American Red Cross has not for gotten the little children, and the mothers of stricken European coun- tries. Just what this work means Is made manifest by an announcement that more than a thousand cases of condensed milk, valued at &1O,00o, are included in a shipment to be made to France in the next few days. This milk, packed in some 50,0OO cans. is being rushed on an urgent cable from the American Relief Clearing House in Paris. It is to be sent at once to the districts about Noyon evacuated by the Germans in their retreat.
 The condition of children in this region, according to information reaching the American Red Cross is desperate. Many of them are tuber- cular. owing to constant undernour- ishment for more than two years. Practically no eggs or milk and very little meat was left to the civilian
 
 living in the towns immediately back of the front, and in which German reserves were stationed, could receive very little aid from the American Relief Commission. Going forward with this shipment of milk for French children, are also quantities of children's and women's underwear. together with numerous cases of shawls and blankets. Cotton and woolen garments are almost un obtainable in France. Every effort is being made by the American Red Cross to increase the quantities of garments sent abroad, and gifts of this character, when sent to the Bush Terminal in Brooklyn. N. Y., are for warded free of expense to France. This. indeed, is a worthy charity.

RETHENCHAlENT.

IS Retrenchment is the watchword of
 spfesent day. At the annual city
 eattng last night the tax rate was Gead down to 20 mills. Had all the iInprovements recommended- passed
 proval this rate would have been
 Eterially raised.
 Rermanent pavement on Park street
 S project recommended by thu city's l1aineers. It should have been done 5oth9 ago. Instsad of the puttertng lA6 sparotjc repairing that has been ecessary in the past, Part street mutt fooner or later be permanently paved. EEis alone will effect a saving. Since ffe nation Is at war. however, Park Steet must wait. There will be other 4lifngs demanding more attention. E The people of New Britain are
 kdually becoming familiar with the 'ifit of sacrifice that must be in order
 affng war time. They are beginning tU get acquainted with the seriousness IF it all. When they finally realize f1Se enormity of the nations plight hoy will enter into the policy of re- iEnchment in all phases of life. Hot only must there be cutting down
 public waste: there must also be 6rnctice of personal economy.

STRIKERS IN BERLIN
 PLACED AT I25,oOO
Munitions Workers Out, Despite
 Denial Of Government ~

copenhagen, Apriu 17. via London. Aprll 1S.-The number of strikers iii 6eriin Is placed in even the semi official report at 125, 1000 and is dis tributed, according to the Tageblatt, through machine works, some elec- trical establishments and part of the munitions plants. The statement is interesting in view of a despatch from the official news bureau denying that munitions factories were affected. The Tageblatt says, however, that the great munitions industry at Span- dau has not been, involved.
 Reports in all~the Berlin newspa- pers which have arrived here agree that the demonstrators were unusual " orderly although roughs resorted to. window breaking in the Unter den Linden. the Friedrich and Leipsic strasses and other central thorough fares. Soldiers, as we'll as police. jwere used in cordons thrown about the Unter den Linden.
 Crowds gathered in the neighbor. hood of the castle during the day and the temper of the crowd, partic- ularly the women, is described as very bitter. The strikers denounced the farmers. wholesalers and the govern ment in equal measure for responsi- bility for the food situation. Even socialist leaders who opposed the strike made 1t evidest to the au,hori- ties that a further curtailment of rations from any cause could not be borne.
 Labor representatives intIrviewed Lord Mayor Wurmuth and the Prus- sian food commissioner, Michaelis, yesterday They were given assur- ance in regard to the food which it is hoped will induce the workmen to abandon the strike. s
 Vor~vaerts Hints at Peace Movement.
 The Vorwaerts, alone of the big Berlin papers, ventured this morning to comment editorially on the strike. It said that the demonstration was bad, not only on the food situation and the demand that internal re- forms be no longer delayed, but also on the deep longing of the people for peace.
 While claiming that the peace sen- timent has a decisive role in the movement, the Vorwaerts argues that the strike cannot be regarded as anti governmental SlnCe IIle AuStFlan ana German declarations justify the hope that the policy of the Central powers is now on a path which will soon lead to peace' The paper laments the fact that the demonstration will have exactly the opposite effect probably from that desired by encouraging Germany's opponents to continue the war and diminishing the output of munitions. It also regrets that among other excesses a crowd gathered in front of the vacant British embassy, yelling and cat-calling.
 No reports of strike movement ir labor centers outside Berlin have been reported as yet. A Kiel de- spatch says that the radical anti-war party got control of the Greater Kiei socialist assembly and passed reso- lutions against voting war credits. Another sidelight comes from Mu- nich. where a woman teacher was put on trial for "pacifist intrigues." She was acquitted on the ground that she was demented from over strain.

Washington, April 1S.-Mrs. Alger- non Sartoris, wife of President Grant 8 grandson, had an engagement to sec President Wilson today to enlist his support for a movement to raise $3,0O0, 100000 in the United States to restore statues and other art subjects which have been destroyed in France by war.
