HEALTH BOARD
 STILL BAFFLED
 BY MILK DEALER

Carrying out his assertion that "the Board of Health Commissioners or nobody else would put him out of business" William Curran, milk dealer, of Stratfield road, has success fully eluded the health inspectors for five days. Inspectors had been de- tailed to ,Curran's territory to catch him in the act of selling his unpas- teurized milk, but report at head quarters that they are unable to get hands on him.
 The inspectors, however, report that they have reason to believe Cur ran is dispensing milk to his regular route of customers. The health off, cials have been seeking to "get the goods" on Curran since Monday They have secured the neighborhood in which Curran delivers milk, but the milk dealer apparently has re- versed his route.
 Curran refuses to allow health of lastly refuses to pasteurize his milk, declaring that his customers do not like pasteurized milk. He ignored an Invitation" to appear before the board, but finally accepted Friday night, at which time he announced that he was going to continue in busi- ness the same as he has been doing for the last 40 years.
 Instead of revoking his license the commissioners decided to catch him in the act of peddling his milk and then start prosecution.

THIEVES WORK
 WHILE LIGHTS
 BURN BRIGHTLY

By the simple expedient of switch ing on all lights and drawing down shades, so as to give passers-by the impression that members of the firm were at work inside, burglars escaped molestation by the police while they boldly ransacked a branch store of the J. W. Connors Clothing Company, at 1870 State street, last night
 A night watchman discovered, their presence shortly before midnight, and without reporting to the police, telephoned MT. J. w. Connors at his home, bringing tha tgentleman to the scene in a hurry. Sumoning a pa trolnan, Connors entered the store and found ample evidence of the fact that his place had been robbed.
 New suits, hats, shoes, shirts, and wearing apparel of every description were scattered about the floor, bear ing marks of having been tramped upon. Two torn, shabby suits Were Discovered at the rear of the store, Qpparently left by the thieves in cx- change for new outfits, and in the sockets were two jimmies and a glass cutter. Desks. cash drawers and cash registers were open, their locks forced and in some cases broken.
 Hasty inventory was taken and ii was found that about s200 worth of clothing had been stolen.

He said that he was a skilled ma- chinist. and that he has met with many misfortunes since the beg1n- ming of the war. He has two daugh- ters in New York who are school teachers. but he has been separated from them for some time.
 His wife and he had been living apart for a few years. and she went abroad Just before the outbreak of the war. When hosti1ities commenced she was forced to remain Tn Germany, and Winthovel believes she is still there.

"In view of the traffic at that point, in relation to the width :, of the highway, the starting trolley car, the possibility of pedestrians crossing the street behind it, and the nearness of the automobile to the trolley car, the speed at which the au- tomobile was operated was in- consistent with prudent, req sonable, or safe use of the highway, and must be regard ed as a reckless abuse of high way rights, and endangering the life, limb, and property of the travelling public"

We were committed to the principle of selection. The field of selection comprised nearly 10000, GOO men. Unuuestionably. of these 1o,- 100000 there were some particular 6S7. GOO of them whose taking would least interfere with the industrial and economic life of the nation. But, in the very nature of things they could only have been searched out by examining the whole H00oo, GOO.
 There were two ways to do this. One was to make a graduated classi- hcation of men placing in the first class those who. of the whole 10000, 900 could best be spared. in the sec ond class those who could next be spared. and so forth through all the classes. Another way was to make only two classes. but to so liberalize exemptions from the first class as to make it comprise only about 687,000 men, Both methods required more time than we had at our disposal, for we were warned that at about this time of the year the camps

TO FORCE VATICAN
 TO TAKE STAND

London, Nov. 23-The vatican ,is accused in an editorial in the Morn ing Post of being implicated in the propaganda which the newspaper says was largely responsible for the recent Italian reverses. Reviewing what 1t describes as vatican machina- tions the Post declares that its po- litical activities during the war "can by no sophistry be regarded as con- sistent with the principles of neu- trality."
 From the beginning" says the Post, tthe vatican has leaned to Austria's side and lately, has furtively but actively espoused the Austrian cause"
 The newspaper calls on the British government to look into the matter and demands that the vatican declare definitely on which side it stands.

''What is offered here," said the General, 'is the basis for a nice bal ance between our two necessities" !" The raising of the army, General Crowder holds to be paramount, and he declares that the industrial situa- ton must be adjusted other than by shutting off recruitment. General Crowder challenges the contention of those who say we must win the war in the economic field, with the infer ence that the raising of an army is a side issue.
 "A vast production on our farms and in our factories Is necessary" says General Crowder, "in order to support military operations on the field of battle. But certainly no man can urge in this day of trial and sac rifice that this nation should deliber- ately neglect to make itself effective in the field of military operation on the plea that our greatest contribu- ton to the cause of humanity is in at taining an economic supremacy. Text of the Address. General Crowder's address is in part as follows.

It is toward this natural mountain barrier that the present mountain fighting is gradually devel- oping GugIielmo Ferrero. the distiF- gtIished Italian historian, declares that this mountain barrier Is Italy's greatest security. which throughout history has brought defeat in invad- ing armies.

WHEAT PRICE MAY BE
LESS IF PEACE COMES
When Large Quantity of Wheat in
Australia and India is Released,
Price Likely to Drop.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Under an ar
rangement between the United States
food administration and the Canadian
food controller, large supplies of Ca
madam wheat are beginning to move
at once by the way of the Great Lakes
to the eastern American flour mills,
so they may resume full capacity OPP
erations.
through the Canadian government at
the same price as fixed for the Amer
lean 1917 crop. Its coming will re-
lieve pressure upon the American
northwestern supply.
1.-THE previous arrangements" the
food administration announced, "by
which milling in Minneapolis and the
northwest section was reduced from
100 to 60 per cent capacity to allow the
lake movement from the northwest to
the eastern mills has been removed
and the Minneapolis and northwest
full capacity"
Unless peace should intervene and
the food administration come to an
end, there will be no change in the
government purchase price of the 1917
harvest of wheat. This announcement
has been made by the food admins
tration in denial of rumors current
in some agricultural sections that the
price was to be altered.
In event of peace, it was pointed out,
the large quantities of wheat now in
accessible in Australia and India would
De available to the worlds markets,
and the maintenance of the present
American price would be highly I'M
likely.
