This Is partly accounted for by his
experience on the Mexican border a
few months ago. There had been CON

listed men begging and stealing rides
to and from town oil the running
boards Of automobiles, and orders had
gone forth to stop the nuisance. Con.

cious militiaman was arrested by the
guard for disobeying the order, this
lieutenant of whom | write ordered the
pugnacious one lmmured In the guard
tent. The lieutenant happened to b.,

 One of the girl clerks will be in the outer office all the time to hand out the books The inner offices will be closed to the public. The partitions in the small room between the outer office and the room formerly used as a private office by the assessors will be torn down.
 MT. Connor said to-day that when he takes office, he with Delbridge, Fitzpatrick and O'Brien will spend each forenoon going about the city in specting property and adjusting prop ert values.

 HAS A SHIPS COOK

Tn order to complete quickly the work of enrolling candidates in the U. g. Naval Reserve force the enroll ing board under Ensign J. H. Sprague win remain at the headquarters in the federal building until g o'clock each sventng. It is expected that work will be completed by Saturday night as the board plans to go to Norwa1k Monday to examine a large group of candidates for enrol1ment there.. All who plan to enroll should endeavor to appear at the headquarters tonight or during the remaining two days that the board is here as 1t is doubtful wheth- CT it will be able to return again be- fore sometime to enroll late ccmers.
 Robert B. Allen, who enrolled as ship's cook, First class, was the first ships cook to be enrolled in the third district
 That more than so per cent. of the candidates for enrolment are being accepted is due to the fact that a high grade of men are applying for admission to the U. S. Naval reserve force in Connecticut. Particularly is it true in Bridgeport that men espec- ia11y qualified in various lines of work and holding responsible positions have come forward purely from motives of patriotism and offered their services to the government.
 Norwa1k, which also is in the Third District and is under the jurisdiction of Lieutenant Leonard IT. Dyer, base and division commander. Is expected to bring in at least 50 men and num- Der of private yachts, and other boats eDmAcaally fitted for the service.

MAY

 IN THIRTY DAYS
Not Many Bills Yet To Be Reported, Cheek by Com
 nittee Chairman Shows

Hartford, March 30.-Prospects for adjournment of the general assembly about 30 days hence are considered very good as the result of an inquiry of committee chairmen as to the amount of work in the committee stage on hand. Not many bills are yet to be reported, and the opinion generally expressed was that if sharp attention is given to matters now on the calendar there will hardly be enough business to keep the legisla- ture going for 30 days.
 The interest yesterday was cenrered in the senate debate on the Martin Sunday bill, which passed the house last week.
 The roads, bridge and river com nittee has voted to report favorably the Branford bill permitting highway construction through Short Beach. The bill will give the town until Sep tember. 1918, to act on the issuance of bonds to pay fro the improve ment. The comm1 ftee reported un- favorably the bills for construction of a highway in the Indian Neck sec- tion in that town.
 In the house favorable reports were

System of Exchange Grant ed Germany and Allies Threatens to Bank
 rupt Country.

~ The Hague, Netherlands, March 30. her efforts to prevent it, Holland is becoming, perforce, large lender to the belligerent states. Great Britain set the example of paying for it's large supplies of dairy and other produce in exchequer bills, and, when Germany demanded the same privilege, neutral Holland could not see it's way to refuse, however differ ently it might regard Berlin paper. Holland has been trying to apply the brake on this downward road that might land it in uncomfortable cir cumstances but, so far, apparently unsuccessfully.
 While these nations demand virtu- ally everything on credit, they require little Holland to pay for her import ed goods in cash. In one respect this operates to Hollands advantage ow- ing to the fact that the rates of ex- change in Germany and Austria are depressed and Holland purchasers, consequently, pay less now than they would after the war when the ex- change rates may have risen.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-03-30

Tn the effort to prop up the rate of exchange in Germany and Austria, an organization for the control of eX- change values has been formed. No marks or crowns as the case may be, are permitted to be sent out of Ger. many or Austria unless authorized by these organizations. This means that German and Austrian buyers of HOl- land goods cannot pay the bills until these controlling bodies have approv- ed the purchase. Checks drawn in payment for luxuries shipped from Holland into Germany and Austria are held up pending approval, the au- thorities ruling that claims arising from the imports of luxuries cannot be settled until after the war.
 Trade between Holland and the Central Empires has been seriously hampered by these restrictions.

Melbourne, Australia, March 30.- A thousand laborers are to be des- patched to England by the Australian government at the earliest moment. The commonwealth authorities lately received cable advices from the inn perial authorities that there was in Great Britain a serious shortage of strong laborers for construction work and help in that direction would be welcomed. The commonwealth offer ed 1000 men. Railroad construction hands and the like will be given the preference. They will be exempt from British military conscription. Free steamer passage to and from Eng land will be granted. The rate of pay will be approximately Is cents an hour for a 54 hour week. A
