MISSIONARIES
 TO BE MAILED
 ON DEC. 18TH

Hartford, Dec. Ex-Governor Marcus H. Holcomlb has received from Pro- vost Marshal General Crowder at Washington a telegram asking him to warn all Connecticut men who have registered under the selective draft act and have since changed their ad- dresses to communicate immediately with their local boards and notify them of their present addresses. Be- ginning December 15, the boards will send out to all their registrants uues- tlonna1res which must be filled out and returned within a definite time limit. If the questipnnaires fail to reach any of the registrants because of changes of address the men con- cerned are likely to lose any exemp- ton or discharge rights that they might have had, for each registrant is required by law to keep himself in formed of draft developments and failure to answer the questionnaires lists the delinquent registrant auto matically in the first group of the new classification, the class which is liable to immediate summons for mili- tary service. Relatives and friends of registrants who have changed their addresses will be doing them favor if they notify them of this warning or send information as to their pres- ent addresses to their local boards.
 The telegram, which asks for the widest possible publicity, follows:
 Governor of Connecticut:
 Please cause the broadest and most extensive and continuous possible publicity to be given through the Ad- jutant General, Local and District Boards, the newspapers and by all other possible means of warning to all registrants who may have changed their places of abode and post office adrdess to communicate immediately with their Local Board where they are registered and furnish their pres : ent addresses so that questionnaires i which will begin to be mailed Decem- Der 18th will reach such registrants without delay. Registrants are bound by law to keep themselves advised of all proceedings in respect of them and failure to do so may result in their i losing right to claim exemption or discharges Please request newspapers to give this warning broad and con- { tinuous publication from this time until the process of mailing question naires has been accomplished.

gesting that it would De mutually ac- ceptable if, say, a third of their num- Der was placed in the America-Neth- erlands Hast Indies service, a third placed at the disposal of the Belgian Relief Commission and a third per- mitted to ply between the United States and Holland.
 els it possible for the Netherlands so to revise her present export ar rangement as to remove Americas s objections to permitting bread, grain and cattIe-food to be exported here ?'' ring thereby to the surplus products of Hollands own soil, that are now divided between Germany and Bri- tain
 'Tt is certainly possible to revise present agreements with Germany and Britain" was the reply, land in- deed, it will be one of the first duties of the newly formed Central Export Bureau to undertake such a revision, for at present we are not free to ex- port to neutral countries. The pro- portion of exports going to Germany cannot be reduced to any considerable extent, for we are dependent on that country for our coal and other neces- sitfes.''
 Were the Netherlands likely to be yet drawn into the war by the various complications now arising, inquired the correspondent. 'T do not think there is immediate danger of that replied MT. Treub, "but if the war lasts another year or more then none can prophecy what will be the result Serious economic and political diffi- cu1tiesm ay be expected"
 What do you think of the peace outlook?" questioned the interviewer
 ''rhe outlook, in my opinion, is very bad" came the reply.
 How would Holland regard 8 peace whereby Germany only releas- ed Belgium on condition of the guar antees, of which she speaks, as, fol instance, administrative separation? 2 inquired the correspondent.
 | Without knowing the exact nature of such guarantees" was the answer 'it is impossible to express an opin. ion. Administrative separation migh and might not weaken Belgium. It i: conceivable that a system might b. established, as in Switzerland, whic1 did not reduce the nations strength regard it as a great interest for Hol land that Belgium should be restored to absolute independence, that sh. should be an entirely neutral, frei country, not under the control of on, party or the other"

According to Mrs. John McDermott of 2Ss4 Mountain St., Phila, Pa, who Is the mother of three-year old Francis the best way to.reduce the cost of liv- ing is by keeping healthy. Mrs. Mo- Dernott gays that Father Johns Medi- cine has saved her many doctors bills and has kept her baby and the mem berss of her family well and strong.
 Many other mothers have found Father John's Medicine the safest and best family remedy because it builds new flesh and strength, soothes the Rhroat and helps to get rid of colds

ing because of its exclusion from the last special war session are the WJbG bill permitting exporters to combine in foreign trade, which has twice passed the House and Is in the Sen ate's unfinished business; the Shields waterpower development bill; the Walsh -Pittnan oil and coal land leasing measure, and the Columbian treaty, proposing payment of $25,OO0, 900 to Columbia.
 The administration soldiers and sailors civil rights bill, which passed the House last session but failed to get through the Senate, soon will be taken up by the Senate Judiciary committee. It operates in the nature of moratorium, suspending court pro- oesses against members of the Amer ican military forces. Other unfinished war legislation includes Senator Chamberlain's resolution to subject aliens to the draft; Senator Calder's bills for daylight saving and expe- dttions naturalization of aliens, and Senator Pomerene's bills to enforce government control of iron and steel products and for reclamation of physically unfit men for military ser vice.
 Revision of second class postage rates for publications also promises to be agitated during the session. Creation of a congressional com mittee to supervise war expenditures, which President Wilson prevented during the last session will be urged by Senator Weeks of Massachusetts and other Republicans. The proposal of Chairman Fitzgerald of the House appropriations committee for a single committee to control war appropri- ations also is pending.
 ] Closer scutiny of appropriations and departm ental estimates, during the present session Is generally predicted, with efforts to prevent extravaganza while at the same time providing ad- equate funds for war needs.
 Spectacular features during the session are regarded as possible de- velopments from the agitation against Senator La Toilette and others be- cause of their opposition to some-war legislation He and Senator Hardw1ck of Georgia have announced their 1n- tention to seek repeal of the draft law, while Senators LaFollette and Sherman of Illinois have peace reso' luttons pending before the Senate for eign relations committee.
 Within the next few days President Wilson is expected to send to the Senate nominations of many military and civil off1cers appointed during the last recess or who failed of con- frmation at the last session.

No change is noted IN prices. the

RID Of TYPHOID FEVER

Health conditions In Lynchburg dur
Ing November have been satisfactory.
as there is a noticeable reduction In
communicable diseases. The city is
practically rid of communicable dis
eases. with the exception OF whooping
cough. there being twenty-five cases of
whooping cough in the city.
One case of typhoid fever appeared
In the city last month. that of ten
year-oid child. The origin cf the dis
ease has not cen determined and the
health officer Is puzzled over the case.
The disease was contracted in the city
and the health officer believes 1t was
spread By a carrier.
There are NJ cases of scarlet fever
in the city, four cases of diphtheria,
one case Of measles, no cases of
humps. no eases of smallpox.
Not "A single death occurred In No
vember from communicable diseases,

sidered good. Four deaths occurred

said this morning pneumonia should
be reported by all means. as II rs an
acute disease and is highly contagious.
He stated that was a slip of the health
laws of the state and pneumonia has

death occurred in the city last month
from pneumonia
Up to 10 o'clock this morning. thir-
ty-four deaths were recorded for the
month of November.
