NO INCREASE IN RATION
German Ministry Doubtful II Original
Expectations ns to Size of Po-

IBy Associated Pr.ss

N''
COFENHAGEN, November 1.-THE
German food ministry, in replying to a
petition from workingmen, declares it
is impossible TO increase the potato
ration of one pound daily. because it
is doubtful IL the original great ex-
pectations as to the size of the potato
crop arc realized. Although the po-
tato crop undoubtedly is good this
year. it would seem that the German
authorities a exaggerated the crop
returns. In earlier announcement It
was said tina tho great potato crop
had solved the food difficulty.
The oats crop is so poor that German
farmers will be permitted to retain
for the feeding OF their own horses
only fodder and grain OF their own
raising to Civ each horse a daily ration
of two pounds.

CUMBERLAND POSTOFEJCE
IS AGAIN ABOLISHED
This Time Because Postmaster Could
Not be Secured.

Information was received from
Washington yesterday to the effect
that the postoffice at Cumberland had
been abolishedl effective yesterday
This action, on the part Of the de-
partment, is due to the fact it Is un
derstood that no postmaster could be
secured While the office on Cum
berland has been in effect all along
no mail has been going to the island,
as no service has been provided. and
patrons of that island have been re-
ceiving their mail here.
The postoffice at Cumberland was
abolished early last summer, but was
re-establised when a kick was made
through Congressman Walker. Just
what the island will do for mail dur.
ing the summer season is not known,
but it may be that a summer office
will be established which would meet
the requirements of the people OF the
island, as well as the visitors.

HEBREW NATION
ZIONIST LECTURER FROM N. Y.
HAS GooD-slzED AUDIENCE

The dream OF thousand years is
coming true Visioned in the depthp
of war when the ancient Hebrew ma
tion fell, first to Babyolnian and then
to Roman cOnquests, its realization
is taking place through the worlds
greatest and most horrible conflict
Such is the Interpretation of recent
events placed by Rabbi David Fitch,
man, of New York. in an address de-
livered Thursday night in the Beth
Tefla Jewish temple before an au-
dience of over 60 Brunswickians Of
Jewish faith His subject was. "The
National Re-awakening of the Jew"
Even those OF you who feel that
the Jews destiny lies wholly in his
religion and that the hope of the
world lies in an ultimately accom-.
plished United States Of the World,
will admit that the movement to Gre.
ate a Jewish nation in Palestine is
a big step in solving the problem Of
Jewish persecution in Russia and
Roumania." declared the speaker.
Everything is tending toward the
establishment OF Jewish nation. II
England wins the war, it is assured
not only by her promises, but also
in her policy of establishing buffer
state between Turkey in Asia and
Egypt in Africa
'In every land, the Jew is being
honored. Lord Reading, in England,
or Judge Brandeis leader in Amer
ican Zion, here"
Steps may later he taken, accord
ing to some of those who attended
the meeting, to organize a local
branch of the organization whose pur-
pose it is to rehabilitate the Jew as

Washington, March 15.-The gen

freight will probably be ordered on
practically all railroads in the coun-
try within "a hours to meet the con-
ditions of the threatened nationwide
strike.
The car service commission OF the
American Railway association arrang-
ed tonight for meeting tomorrow to
take up this question. It is consid-
cred certain that the commission will
suggest to the railroads a general
freight embargo. All perishable
freight will be barred from shipment
and there is grave danger Of the
roads becoming congested with great
quantities Of idle freight cars which
would make operations under strike
conditions practically impossible.

Negotiations Between Railroad
Managers and Brother
hoods Broken Off.
BOTH SIDES STAND PAT
Unions Spurn Arbitration Of
fers OF Managers and They
in Turn Ignore Immediate De-
mands.

New York, March 15.--The strike
order affecting 100000 members OF
the four great railroad brotherhoods
which was issued two weeks ago,
goes into effect promptly at 6 o'clock
Saturday night.
Negotiations between the railroad
managers and the brotherhood oiIi-
cials have been broken Off. No fur
ther conferences have been called.
Unless brotherhood chiefs themselves
cancel the strike order or federal
intervention is brought about within
the next SO hours, the strike will be
on.
In the final hours of the conference
this afternoon the brotherhood chiefs
submitted an ultimatum to have the
eight-hour law put into force at once.
The railroad managers rejected the
proposal and offered a counter pro-
rosal that the controversy be settled
by the Goethals commission. This
was rejected by the brotherhood
chiefs, who, in statement signed by
w. G. Lee, put the burden of the
strike on the railroad managers.
AS the conferees left to go their
separate ways, w. G. Lee, who is
chairman of the brotherhood of train
men, handed to Eli Lee, chairman of
the railroad managers, a memoran-
dunn with the remark, This is the
order in which the men go out"
The memorandum reads:
"a progressive strike of freight
and yard service men and hostlers
has been called beginning at p. M,
Central time, Saturday, on the New
York Central least and west, Nickel

Without question and unanimously

Engineer II. G. Wells, of the United
States department of agriculture's

report on conditions and needs o.

area, the radius of which is three
miles from Brunswick's city limits.
His estimates are based on a nine
foot roadway, which, Wells declared,
is not recommended by his depart
ment, but which it is up to the com
missioners themselves to decide
Theory and practice don't often
work together" said the engineer
The broader roads is the correct
pfincipled road. but sometime condi-
tions make it advisable to have mar
rover ones. A thickly settled pop.
ulation gives greater division to the
burden of taxation as well as it sup
plies more prosperous supporting
territory from the standpoint of front
age Where the rural territory is not
so populated. tits better to put in a
narrow road, which the long stretches
Of uncultivated land must pay for and
keep up in the taxation, and as the
road increases land values and aids
the growth of population, in time, it
may be widened"
On the route from Brunswick to
the ferry, a distance of some ten
miles, inspection showed that the
present route and grade would need
but little changing. Either of the va
rious materials could be built on top
of the present shell surface For
that section of the Dixie Highway
the cost would be for vitrified brick,
grouted with cement, $10,824 per
mile Concrete construction figured
$11 POI. and Bituminous macadam,
$10,529. These figures included the
cost, OF replacing all wooden bridges
with concrete structures, and every
item of construction.
From Brunswick to Everett's store
the construction of all three kinds
would be slightly cheaper, though
there would be some grading and
Strengthening of turns necessary. On
that section the figures for brick were
$1,000. Concrete, $10,134, and bitum-
inous macadam. $9,0S3 per mile.
The third link in the good roads

cussion was that from Everett's store
to the Wayne county line. There the
costs were much the same as the sec
ond section for the materials named.
The latter section also needs grad
ing as it has a sandy top soil which
