The thought behind the program is
that the business OF shipping supplies

involved with actual military opera

have been instances OF sailors aud even
officers Of the civilian crews failing
to do their full duty and ships have
been put in jeopardy by laNity or

have foodstuffs. and plenty of them. We must have the bullets to supply our lighting men. But over and above all we must have just and fair prices. The merchants who hope to, profit by the country's precarious position do so at their own risk. They do so at the risk of governmental interfer- ence. Any attempt at extortion will result in price-fxing by the federal authorities.
 This is the time to mend au the fences that need repairing. The war against autocracy is not child's play. Because the French and the British are driving the Germans back behind the famous Hindenburg line is no sign that final victory is near. While the present fighting on the Western Front may be the first of the death blows against Prussianism there is no way of telling just how long the war will last If it lasts only six month1 longer the American people will be called upon for sacrifice. These arc the things to bear in mind. We are at war.

COLUMBIAN TREATY
 CONSIDERED AGAIN
Senate Expected to Act FaVorably
 With Amendment Added

Washington, April 17.-Another ef- fort to have the senate ratify the treaty with Colombia for the payment of $25,0OO,OOO for the secession of Panama is forecast through the treaty being taken up in executive session. On objection that senators interested in it were absent, the treaty was laid aside until tomorrow.
 Since the treaty was withdrawn from the special senate session in March, the state department has been trying to get around the objections Of republicans so as to assure ratifica- ton. The treaty itself. it was said, has not been changed, but in addition to it the department now proposes 8 contract by which Colombia will see that no nation other than the United States obtains concessions or rights on her territory. near the Panama canal
 When the treaty was withdrawn in March Senator Curtis, the republican whip, had 8 poll showing that thirty five senators, two more than the third which would insure it's defeat, were pledged against it. The fact that the treaty will be taken up again was said last night to indicate that the ad- ministration now feels confident of success. It is understood that amend ments to meet republican objections probably will be offered in executive session.
 These probably will include pro- visions for control of the Atrato river canal route in Colombia by the United States, concession to the United States of several small islands not far from the Atlantic side of the Panama canal and an express understanding that when the United States is at war Colombia will not join forces with the enemy.

May Be Peace Demonstration.

Copenhagen, April 16, via London, April IT, S:04 a. m.-The strike called today in Berlin of metal and wood workers and transportation employees is the first considerable labor trouble in the German capital since the munt- tion workers struck when Dr. Karl Liebknect was convicted of treason. At that time almost 100000 men were idle for three days.
 The cause of the present strike is the reduction in the bread ration, the newspapers for several days past limiting at the possibility of such a demonstration. If, however, like the previous strike, the present walkout has been organized by the radical so- cialists there is no doubt that it has the nature of a peace demonstration.
 The minority socialist organization. to which the great bulk of munition and other socialist workers in Berlin belong, attempted to organize work mems processions from the factory quarters in the outskirts of the city to the center of the capital.
 A semi official despatch, the only one which has as yet been allowed to reach Copenhagen, makes no mention of these processions. The despatch, obviously carefully edited and cen- sored asserts that, despite partial suspension of work, by the three branches of industry mentioned, work in the big munitions establishments has not been interfered with and ele- vated and street car service is proceed ing normally. The latter is proba ble in view of the high proportion of wo- men now employed on the elevated systems and street cars.
 Yesterdays German newspapers intimated that agitation among the workmen was in evidence elsewhere in the empire, particularly in Leipsic. No reports have so far been received in regard to this phase of the situa- ton. ?

THE CALL or THE WEST.

In the Western States alone there are 240,0O0,O00 acres of public land that can be had for the asking. This announcement, made by the Secretary of the Interior yesterday, and printed in the Herald, will be a cause of sur- prise to many. Living in an inten- sively cultivated part of the country the people of Now England are prone to forget the vast lands of the West, land that sometimes stretches mile after mile without the companionship of man. It basks in the sunshine awaiting the homesteader who never goes near it.
 Almost two million people can ac- quire this land on easy terms from the government if they but write to Secretary Lane at Washington. There are 160 acres of good grazing and farming land awaiting each person who asks for the privilege of culti- vating this soil. Now that the day has drawn near when America sees the necessity of closely guarding it's food supply the chances for a sue. cessful invasion of the West by an army of ambitious farmers are not to be lightly cast aside.
 There was time when immigrants to this country made for the West In another day and generation the people who came from the many European countries lost little time in securing all the blessings offered by

New Haven, April 17.-No state ment could be secured officially last night regarding the renewed reports of the possible leaving of the New Haven road by President Elliott, be- cause of his appointment as one of the committee of five to handle the railroad problems for the government during the war. The story that Presi- dent Elliott was to leave the road has been officially denied several times, but no statement has been made by the road as to what effect his re- cent appointment will have on his re- lations with the road nor could any ke secured last night.

OPERATION FOR BERNHARDT
Famous Tragedtenne May Be Forced
 to Go Under Knife.

New York, April 17.-Sarah Bern- hardt is in Mount Sinai hospital crit ically ill from an infection of the kid- ney. It was said at the hospital late last night that while her condition had improved slightly since she was brought there Sunday 1t was still crit ical. Her private physician, Dr. Felix Marot, who accompanied her here from France, last evening called into consultation Dr. George B. Brewer professor of surgery at the College of Physicians and Surgeons. It was said after the consultation that no de- cision as to an operation had been reached.
 Mme. Bernhardt has been in falling health ever since she caught a severe cold in Lynn, Mass, early last month. She returned to New York on March 12 for treatment and rest, and ever since then except for brief sojourn in the South, where she went in the hope of being benefited by the change, she has been confined to her apartments at the Savoy Hotel.

<. The Growing Girl.

A girl when in her teens is passing through a critical period of her life. The transition from childhood to ma- turity is not always easy: consequent ly, in many cases health breaks down entirely and the girl goes into de- cline and dies young. If she escapes this fate, she may fall into a state of permanent ill-health. It is of the ut most importance. in order to insure normal and healthy development, that proper precautions be taken. and notIl- ing has proved more helpful than the faithful use of Lydia E. Pinkhans' Vegetable Compound, the great wo-- mans medicine and tonic.

STRIKE IN BERLIN
 IS A TAME AFFAIR
Only Portion of Factories Affected
 by Walkout, Censor Says

Berlin. April 16, via London, April l7.-A day of apprehension in Berlin ended tonight without alarm. The threatened strikes because of a reduc- tion in the weekly bread ration ma- terialized in only a portion of the larger factories and did not affect transportation and public utilities. The strike leaders had planned an elaborate system of street demonstra- tion which were to unite in an as- semblage, but indictment weather kept down enthusiasm.
 Some of the factories affected an- nounced tonight that the workmen would resume work tomorrow. Other meetings will be held in the morning to decide the future course of the strikers.
 The streets are quiet tonight. but the police are still on guard. The government authorities declare that they'll make no effort to interfere with the strikers, because they are only registering disapproval of the new food regulations and are expected to resume work everywhere before the end of the week.
 The strikers are limited to factories manned by unions belonging to the Liebknecht- -Ledebor branch of the so. clal democracy. The Scheidemanr group is not striking. The Vorwaerts the organ of the Scheidemann social. ists, printed a warning against strik' ing for fear that the latter would in terfere with efforts to obtain a separ' ate peace with Russia.
 There were no strikes in factorie: employing the so-called Christian un' ions.

RUNS AWAY WITH
 RESTAURANT WARE
Patron Helps Himself at Lon8ley's
 Dining Rooms

Pursued by white-coated and in- dignant manager, William Scott of 125 Columbia street, hastily absented himself from Longleys Church street restaurant last night with pockets bulging with glassware of various de- tainer and other eating house equip ment. While passersby gazed in won derment and wagered relative to the victor, the chase continued to Gen. tral Park, where Policemen William F. Murphy and Thomas Heslin took a hand. Wilbert Coons of Corbin Place was alleged to have taken a hand in proceedings at that time and was arrested for assault.
 At a loss to account for the array of evidence" Scott was arraigned be- fore Judge James T. Meskill in police court today charged with intoxication and theft. He pleaded guilty and was reluctant to testify in defense of his conduct. Other than that the use of liquor must be responsible, he could not account for taking the glassware because, as he explained, he had no use for it. Judge Meskill called him to the witness stand, severely reprt- manded him and gave him good ad- vice relative to future procedure. A fine of $5 and costs with probation was imposed on the intoxication charge while the theft charge was dis missed. Tho charge against Coons was nolled by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Joseph G. Woods without arraignment.
 Left Auto Near Hydrant.
 Samuel Schneider of 220 Hartford avenue was fined $S without costs for violation of the motor vehicle statutes and the city ordinance relative to marking an automobile in front of 8 fire hydrant. Traffic Supervisor Clarence Lamphere testified that Schneider left his automobile so as to block a hydrant for a considerable time and that, when interviewed. had no operators license with him. At torney A. A. Greenberg pleaded for leniency. told of the good reputation of his client and said that there was no intentional violation. He explained that his client has an operators li- cense and, in hurriedly changing his clothes yesterday, accidentally left it at home.
 $25 for Reckless Driving.
 Peter Sackmovich of 52 Smalley street was fined $25 and costs for reckless driving. The arrest was made at Church and Main streets yes- terday afternoon by Traffic Policeman Alfred F.. Atwater. Testimony was given that a team driven by the ac- cused collided with another team near +hS corner of Main and West Main streets, did not stop to note the amount of damage and failed to heed Policeman Atwater's signal to stop. The latter testified that the accused had been drinking.
