BERLIN MAY HAVE
 FARMERS SCHOOL
Grange to Hear of Advantages of Such An Institution
COLONEL JARVIS FAYORS IT

Major Frank l.. Wilcox Subscribes for Life Membership in Red Cross House to House Campaign Aban- doned Because of Snow on Roads. Col. c. M. Jarvis, the president, and MT. Webster, the director of the Hartford County Farm Bureau, will appear before the Grange this week to be held in January. This school is generally conducted for four days at some convenient point, from o'clock in the morning to o'clock in the afternoon Instructors are furnished by the Agricultural college of the Hartford County league. The only expense to the town is the cost of entertaining the instructors while the schools is being conducted. The Extension school is an institution in agriculture and economies for adults. Its purpose is to emphasize the funda- mental and economical principles on which the practice of agriculture and home making and the conservation of food products are dependent; to dem onstrate the best methods of applying these principles on the farm and in the home: to find the most efficient application of these principles to the farm and to the home problems of the community.
 Red Cross Campaign. The Red Cross campaign has been opened in Berlin and the leaders re- port that the residents of Berlin and , Kensington are making a splendid re- sponse to their appeal for help. Miss Rohm, who has charge of the cam paign in Berlin, was kept busy at her booth in the post office this morning. She received a number of subscrip- tions, among which was a life mem- bership by Major Frank L. Wilcox. The booth will be open after regular / postoffice hours until 9 o'clock.
 The first class in surgical dressings will be held in the Red Cross rooms at 7:3O Friday evening. Mrs: Walter H. Hart of New Britain will be there to give instructions. Anyone desiring to enter the class may communicate with either Miss Rohnl or Miss Hus- ton.
 The committee has decided not to conduct the house-to- house member ship campaign, owing to the condition of the roads and for the early part o1 the week will rely SOlely upon the booth. It is probable, however, that such a. campaign may be held at a later date.
 There will be a Red Cross meeting Wednesday evening in East Berlin al which the campaign will be launched The spec kers will be Bishop Atchison Samuei Russell of Mdd.ctown, ant Rev Samuel A. F1ske

Amc1.icans Too Daring.

From his observations abroad, par ticularly in England, Sailor Hoar states that there is a feeling of hos tility between the British and Amer ican soldiers that has not been cleared up. The British feel that the United States took entirely too long in enter ing the war and blame this country for not entering sooner that it might have been ended quickly. Before the U. s. entered the war, he states, an American soldier or sailor could not land where the British were without getting into a verbal or fstic encount- CT and now, although the antagon- ism is not so pronounced there is not the best of brotherly love between the men of these two armies
 Tn England the local man said he saw great many American soldiers and from conversation with French and English officers he learned that they are already doing their bit in the front line trenches The only criticism that the British and French have of the American soldiers is that they are entirely too aggressive, too daring and take too many chances. This was the same fault as was found with the Canadian soldiers when they , went across.
 Speaking of general conditions in England, the young sailor said that the people seem very stolid, have but l little comment to make on the pos- sible outcome of the war, but are doggedly pursuing it to what they hope will be successful continuation. The only intimation of how the Eng fish feel he obtained from a talk with British soldier who said: Well, I guess its pretty lucky that the United States got into it'' As yet there l seems to be no grave shortage of food in England, but there is great shortage of tea, which bothers the people very much. There is also a 1 great scarcity of sugar and butter. | Of the latter the people are limited to three-quarters of pound per week for every four people in family. There are also but few matches to be had in England and one English
 woman whom Sailor Hoa~ met told him she had had candle burning continuously in her home for two weeks lest she lose the precious flame and be without fire.
 Sailor Hoar will report hack to his
 boat tomorrow, but hopes to be home for over Christmas.

American Training Camp in France,
Aug. 3.-General Pershing gave the
American expeditionary forces an ex-
ample of the strenuous life by sweep
ing through nearly dozen villages
where United States soldiers are nv-
ing in France and visiting nearly all
training centers.
It was not a cursory inspection. He
went into minute details all along the
line, questioned private soldiers and

various other ranks if anything could
be done to improve the situation.
His visit was entirely informal and
he found the forces just as he desired,
engaged in their daily routine work
and drill. The general also is inspect
ing various places suggested for his
field headquarters, for he expects be-
fore long to move from Paris.
At the end Of the first days in
spection, General Pershing said: "Our
principal concern just now, of course,
Is to perfect the army organization.
This is a big task, but it is moving
along in a most satisfactory manner"

WITH INSERTING CLAUSE
WHICH WOULD MAKE LAW
IMPERATIVE.
WOULD HAVE HARDING
CLAUSE ELIMINATED
Lower House Not to Act on Bill Until
Regular Session Next December,
and Prohibition Leaders Believe
Delay Will Help Their
Cause.

Washington, Aug. 3.-National pro-
hibition by constitutional amendment
has hung up in the House by the Pro-
hibition leaders themselves.
The resolution to submit the pro-
posal to the states passed by the SEN
ate was put out of the program for
the present session and will not come
up until the regular session in Decem-
Der. Plans to reconvene the Demo
cratic caucus and reverse it's decision
to consider only war legislation were
abandoned because it was believed de-
laying action until the next session
would help the prohibition cause.
Representative Randall of Califor-
mia, the only Prohibition member Of
Congress, issued a statement declar-
ing that "the friends of national pro-
hibition have been fiim-fammed by the
liquor lobby in the constitutional
amendment adopted" He added that
"a great jollification" was held by
liquor representatives in q Washing
NOR had sprung up that the six-year
clause added on Senator Harding's mo-
ton was really written by the brew
ers' attorneys.
Sees Joker In New Clause.
"The joker is not in the six-year
handicap ITSELF" said Mr.. Randall,
though that is without a single prece-
dent in history. The Harding clause
provides that this article shall be in
operative unless ratified within six
years. The impression is that the pro-
hibition amendment would not become
part Of the Constitution unless so
ratified. The fact is it will become a
part Of the Constitution If ratified
after the time limit, but will be mop
erative. This promises long years of
litigation. The whole campaign to Sc
cure ratification by the state will be-
clouded by this uncertain language.
"The duty of the House Of Repre-
sentatives is clear. Throw out the
Harding clause entirely"

or Replace NeutraIs' Exports.

Washington, Aug. 3. - Full informa-

The American governments plan

No Food for Germany.
The intention of the United States
is to hold food exports to the neu-
trails to the barest necessities to pre-
vent the foodstuffs or feed they re-
place from reaching FGermany. Only
actual food deficiencies will be made
up from America and assurances will
be demanded that no American-produc
ed food is re-exported or used to sup
plant food that is exported.
DR.. Fridtjof Nansen, head Of the
Norwegian mission, declared his coun-
try, facing starvation, was ready to
release a million tons Of shipping for
the privilege of importing food. Nor

fats and grain and would guarantee
that none of these things were sent
into Germany.

OIL SHORTAGE IS IN SIGHT
War Demands Threaten To Overtax
Great Supply. /

Washington, Aug. 3.-The enormous
war program will make such de-
mand for crude oil and its derivatives
that the Council Of National Defense
Ind other agencies investigating the
situation expect the supply to run
short. Data secured by the navy indi-
Gates that the total shortage may
amount to more than 12O,0OO,00O bar
fels. Production is expected to de-
crease approximately unless the navy
reserves are tapped, or unless the out
put Of the Mexican oil field Is in
creased.
The Council of National Defense
probably will urge upon the country
the strictest conservation of oil, even
II the output is increased by resorting
to the reserves.
