ness, including correcting of the jour
nal. The militia pay bill which was

called to the attention of the senate
by Senator Mitchell president pro
TEN, who requested unanimous con-
sent to return to the proper order of
business and place it on its passage.
Senator Rockwell of Blaine county OBJ
jeeted on the grounds that the SEN
ate was not familiar with its terms
and he could not see the pressing ne
eessity for passing the measure prior
to the joint session. The bill was
therefore forced To wait till later. 1t
will probably be passed late today.

Miss Jones were sworn III as attaches.
The senate then recessed and men,

Teachers Pension
 Bill Is Reported
 Favorably in House

Hartford. April 6.-The education committee reported to the house yes- terday teachers pension; bill which would allow a teacher with 35 years experience to be retired on reaching the age of 60. As the bill appropriates money to start the plan, it was sent to the appropriation committee.
 The Senate refused yesterday to accept the house amendment to the bill which would stop street newspa- per sales by girls under 16. This amendment would have allowed girls to sell except between p. m. and 5 a. m. Senator Neebe said that the practice of newspaper selling by girls was obnoxious The Senate's refusal to agree on the amendment brings a disagreement on the bill which pro- hibits all selling by these girls
 The House adhered in rejecting the bill that would have had the counties assume the maintenance of the Sal mon river bridge between Colchester and East Hampton.
 Favorable reports were made on a resolution making a penalty of $1OO TOT any person who, without permis- sion, enters enclosures used for stor- age purposes; authorizing NDanbury to issue bonds for. high school addi- tlon; and making various changes in the inheritance tax law.

ALLIED TROOPS
 AT FRONT HAIL
 U. s. WAR MOVE

British headuarters in France, via ulation in the British army as to what assistance, in a military sense, Ameri- ca might render to the Allies. Re- gardless of what theorists may say, practical fighting men here believe that the United States would want to have representation with the Allied army on this front and would send over a considerable fighting force within six months, provided the war lasts that long.
 '. One basis for this belief is that both Germany and Great Britain are fight ing with new armies, Britain because she did not have an army in the Euro pean sense before the war began, and Germany because her forces are large ly made up of classes called to the colors since 1914, a large proportion having only five months training. It is generally figured now that a good soldier can be made with in six months. It is thought here that Am erica can easily meet that require ment.
 It is also argued in army circles that America might we'll specialize in such branches as aviation and ma chine gun attachments. The aero planes would have, however, to come up to a. high standard and must make at least 150 miles an hour to take rank with the best English and French machines. One definite thing expect ed is that America will undoubtedly increase manifold the hospital and medical assistance which she already is voluntarily rendering the Allies

SERIOUS. CRISIS IS FRONTING FARMERS
 OF THIS DISTRICT

. With the planting season approach ing, farmers throughout Fairfield county are today facing a serious situ- ation. Necessity is urged for larger crops than heretofore harvested. Not only is the price of seed far advanced but in many sections the shortage of field labor is so extreme as to cause meetings of individuals and farm or ganizations to cope with the situation In the Greenfield Hill section re- port is current that the old "bee" sys- tenn may have to be revived, with in- timations from other sections of Fair field county that an appeal will be made through proper channels to the war department for an agricultural unit that may be detailed in harvest time to garner the crops.
 The potato crop usually planted in April and May finds seed pototoes at $8.50 per bag (bushel and 3 pecks) as against a price of $5 last year. f C. tato fertilizer, essential to good results, is quoted at $40 per ton as against $32 last year.
 Farmers assert that while this fea- ture may readily be overcome by the possibility of higher harvest prices, it does not take into consideration the matter of labor. ! Unless matters are handled by one of the federal depart ments and farmers are assured tha: labor will be procurable during the harvest it is likely that the early crops will be less in acreage this year than last

Americas Entry Into War Causes
 Joy in Trenches

Paris, April 6.-News that America would "come in'' created intense en- thusiasm at the front.
 Thousands of Americans already doing their bit' afield were particu- larly jubilant. The Canadians cheered to man. Special dinners were ar- ranged in messes to which Americans belong, in their honor. ..
 This is a great day. said an Am er1can captain serving with the Cana dian army. 'I've never doubted that the United States would do her duty at the proper time. Now that she's in she must hit with every ounce of her power-the quicker the better Financially, industrially and in a mili- tary way she ought to smash Kaiser ism straight from the shoulder at the same time she is supporting the Allies with merchant fleets. ! We all hope to see an American expeditionary force on the westerr front immediately, with America meantime raising and training a huge force to use in the event Germany continues to resist.

BURDEN OF WAR
 EXPENSE TO BE
 PLACED ON RICH
Democratic Leaders Plan to Heavily Tax Rich Men
 and Concerns.

Washington, April 6.-Upon e>e wealthy men and large corporations of the country the Democratic leaders of Congress propose laying the heaV1- est burden of the cost of carrying on the war between the United States and Germany.
 Backed in principle at least by the Administration, the majority leaders of the House Ways and Means conn mittee, it is learned, have already de- cided that the largest contributions must come from the pockets of the rich.
 On the general assumption that, aside from any bond issues floated, tbe sum of at least $5OO,000,00O has got to be raised during the coming fis- cal wear by taxation for purposes of the war. the majority members of the committee are7 figuring on raising this sum by, a graduated levy upon the net incomes of Individuals and corpora tions.
 For the present the plan is to ex- empt in the taxation of individuals all small incomes, below $1,500 a year, but from, that rate upward the scale of taxation will steadily increase until in the case of incomes in excess of s1O0,00O the levy upon the excess be- comes practically confiscatory. Thus, the tentative scale now being consid- cred runs about as follows:
 On. incomes from $1,5o0 to $5,000 | 2 1-2 per cent; from $5,OOO to $25,- 900 5 per cent; from $25,OOO to $5O,- 900, 10 per cent; from $bO,oOO to s100, 900, not less than 50 per cent This would apply, of course, to indt- vidual earnings. a Several members of the committee strongly favor putting the tax on the excess of incomes above $1O0,000 g rate as high as 75 per cent, or more On the other hand, there is some sen timent in favor of reducing the ex- emption to the $I000 figure. With regard to levies against the l incomes of corporations the plan is to follow the scheme that has beer adopted in Great Britain and other be1ligerent countries of making the industries receiving most of the gros:
 revenues from the production of wal
 supplies pay the heaviest premium thus insuTing the country against un due profits for the munition makers All other corporation incomes in ex cess of 6 per cent, are to be taxed | d-l5O aCCOIU1uSy lO Lu0 QIOPOSou plAu
 on a graduated scale, the effect O.
 which would be practically to conf1s cate increments of net revenue in ex
 cess of 10 per cent.
 The suggestion of the President il
 his message that all the expense O
 the war, so far as active participation
 of the United States goes,- is to be pa out of taxation levied upon the pres
 ent generation, is not meeting with ia vor among either Democrats or Re pubHcans. House Minority Leade Mann wants the whole expense pal
 out of a, bond issue, and members 0 the Presidents cabinet have strongl turged the same course upon him. A
 least one of the Cabinet officers
 known to have contended that tn
 government could issue bonds to tn
 extent of $10,oO0, 100000 at par an
 at rate of interest not in excess 0
 1-2 to per cent. The prevailin
 opinion among the Democratic leader
 favors dividing the expense betwee
 drect taxes and a bond issue.

Bostonians Burned
 aFollette Effigy
 On Banks of River

Boston, April 6.-Senator Robert La Toilette, Wisconsin pacifist and fll- fbuster, was hoisted by crane and burned in effigy here.
 Students at the Massachusetts h. stitute of Technology made a dummy La Follette, tagged it that all might know 1t was the Wisconsin Senator. and then on the edge of the Charles River basin, where it could be seen for long distance, lighted it. Long lines of students held an Indian war dance about the burning LaFollettee. meanwhile singing and jeering.
 A lone pacifist, the only one in the dorm1tor1es. pleaded the burning mans cause. The students gathered about him and endeavored to change his views by argument The endeayor failed, and the pacifist was held un- der cold shower bath until he he came belligerent

BITTER ATTACKS ON WILL SON FILL
 TEUT0N PAPERS

Berlin, April 6.via London-Bltrer personal attacks on President Wilson and the repudiation of the distinction he drew between the German people and their government feature the comments of the German newspapers on the presidents message 10 con- gress. The I-Okal Anzelger says:
 America must know that the as- surance of President Wilson that the war is directed not against the Ger man people but the German govern ment cannot attract from the anger which his attitude during the whole war has fostered and which his last message has famed into a bright flame For this assurance is untrue and dishonest as all the rest of the document from the first word to the last MT. Wilson knows that no war in all history was so little dynastIc and none so much war of whole people fighting for existence as this one, which was forced on Germany by cricle of enemies in all parts of the world, whose hate was born of envy"
 Germania says: President Wilson wanted war, and nobody can get past that. Were we at war with only one or other other of our enemies Presi- dent Wilson would never have con- ceived the idea of pulling his country into such a bloody adventure. But the obvious side of a war, which is based on such a weak foundation, is the fact that it comes from a man who has so far set himself up as a sort of nor al judge who felt called to bring the orJd to ate As oc Italy and Rumania could turn the sclase against, us, sol title will the United States be able to change the |.tide of war;
 | The Vossiische Zeitung says: 9Th ose who have so far doubted the bad faith of President Wilson will know
 better when they read the malicious distortion of truth which forms the chief contents of his message. His attempt to- set up a difference be- tween the German government and the German people is a perfidious and absurd as his claim that the German kaiser started the war for dynastic ! reasons and that the German war par 1 ty sponsored it for conquest | The Vienna Neue F'reie Presse de- | clares that America has decided on war because 1t was unable any long, CT to deliver, its supplies to the NAl- 1ies
 The Vienna Reindpost says: "We
 must not appraise too lightly the ad- dition of rich and powerful indus
 trial republic to the list of our ene-
 mics, but if the submarines maintain l their so far great success President Wilson will have come too late. Grim
 ina1 as has been the whole assault on 1 Central powers by, the Entente, ii
 must be said that each conspirato,
 added to the list, not excluding Japan
 had better reasons for his bloody en- | terprise than Wilson and his repub. I lie can show"

NEW RECORDSFOR
 TALKING MACHINE:

Apropos of springtime, Columbia has issued a spring song without words Nevin's lovely composition, "Oh That We Two Were lMaying' by the TaylOr Trio. AS one listens to the ,blended tonal beauties evoked by the famed Trio, it would seem that the balmy, gentle breath of May itself had swept the strings of cello and violin,
 so carressingly sweet are thelr notes
 above the silvery chords of the piano.
 There is a wistfulness woven through
 the lovely themes that suggests na-
 tures longing for Mays sunshine in
 the midst of ApriPs showers. The Taylor Trio has never recorded more
 sublime harmony.
 Tn conlmemoration/ of Eastertide, the Columbia Graphophone Company has made recording of two new Eas- ter carols-'King All Glorious" and
 Radiant Morn''-sung by the Colum- bia Double Mixed Quartet, with or chestral accompaniment. These two inspiring quartet fenditiops are the very embodiment of the joyous spirit
 of this most significant day of days. Triumphant trumpetS and gladsome voices blend in ringing paans of praise to the Prince of Peace.
 The very zenith of descriptive art is reached in the dance music of Di- aghileff's Russian Ballet. And despite it's many and colorful moods, it is a simple matter to interpret it's themes
 once the listener is familiar with titles.
 Take for instance, a recent Columbia recording of the 'Danse des BOuffons" Oance of the Clowns), played under the direction of Ernest Ansermet, first conductor of the Ballet Russo Orches- tra It is not difficult to imagine from
 the tine the fantastic notes of the in- l troductory measures greet the ear that the ever-smiling clowns are on the scene. Gradually the melody becomes livelier and more syncopated, expres-
 sive of slap-jack gymnastics. One can
 almost fancy, too, that these jolly jest CTS of the circus insisted on footing 1 toy horns above theI humorous melody of the orchestra. On the opposite side
 of the disc is the delightful waltz from
 'Le Pavilion D'Arnide''-the exact an-
 tithesis of the Dance des Bouffons" =
 a fairy phantasy of graceful, floating
 melody.

The war has cost Holland $235, 1000 according to the latest official an- nouncement, this sum having been spent on the upkeep of the mobiIized army and navy, together with the SUD- ply of cheap food, the care of refu- gees. and the like. Moreover, the rate of expenditure is rising The last half-year the cost was s57,080, 900, as against SAGA for the preceding six months. With the ever-mounting cost of the provision of cheap food, the figures are expected to continue their upward course in the current year.
