GERMANY HAS
new SOLDIERS
READY FOR WAR


London, Feb. 15-An Amsterdam
dispatch to the Times, quotes ar
American who has just arrived there
from Frankfurt, where he had lived
for 18 months, as saying that the
Germans have great and surprising
number of new troops.
The dispatch says that every Ger.
man man oe military age who is not
engaged in the munition industry has
been ordered into the army, with the
result that the German troops are
now more numerous than at the be-
ginning Of the war.
The American is quoted as saying
that the age limit will certainly, be
increased if necessary. He did mot
believe the Germans would be defeat
ed in the spring, but If the war last
ed another two years the Allies prob
ably would win.
According to the informant the fl
nancial question was beginning to be
serious. and while the next war loan
might succeed, it probably would be
the last successful one, as the people
realize that matters cannot continue
as at ID'esent.
In reference to the submarine cam
paign the American said that the
stories current in Holland about the
immense number of German submar-
ines were German bluff. He claimed
to have information that there were
not 200 of the under-sea craft avail
able. Referring to the food situa-
ton, he said:
1.-THE Allies have them down pref
ty we'll. but they are prepared for
more hardships The Germans can
stand anything. I left Germany be-
cause the situation was growing too
bad to be pleasant Life in Frank
furt was very hard for the people.
Any other population would rebel.
There was a very bitter feeling there
against the higher authorities and the
people who were responsible for the
war;"

Three years from today the suffra-
gists of the world will celebrate the
centenary of the birth of Susan
Brownell Anthony, one Of the most
honored fthe pioneers of the
women's rights cause. Born in South
Adams, Mass, Feb. 10. 1920. she re-
ceived an excellent education, and be-
came a school teacher. The discrim
ination favoring men teachers, who
were paid more than women regard
less of ability, first aroused her SYM
pathies, and all her life she labored.
to secure equal pay for equal work,
In 1851 she espoused the cause Of
suffrage. and the remainder of her
long life was devoted to that cause.
For aome time she edited a weekly
journal called 1.-THE Revolution" but
her influence was most widely felt as
a lecturer. She was the chosen rep.
resentative of American suffragists at
the international conferences in Eu-
rope, where she was welcomed with,
enthusiastic ovations. Miss Anthony
made her home principally in Roches-
ter, NJ Y, where she died in 1906.

Trumbull Folks Ask
Legislature t oLet
Them Have Electricity
Especial to The FarmerD

Hartford, Feb. Is. - Several resi-
dents of Trumbull, Attorney Samuel
Morehouse of New Haven, represent
ing the United Illuminating Company
and Collector Of the Port James L.
McGovern appeared before the COM
mittee on interpretations, yesterday
to support a measure introduced by
Representative Emil T. Berger OF
Trumbull, by which electric lights
may be added to the attractive feat
ures Of the town.
Mr.. Berger's bill provides for an
amendment to the charter Of the Unit
ed Illuminating Co., whereby the COM
pany may supply electric light along
Main street, Trumbull, from the
Bridgeport city line to Hurds store.
and 500 feet each side of the high
way.
The right to light the town now
is vested in the Danbury and Bridge
port Trolley Co. The legal and f1nan-
cial entanglements of this company
we're brought to the attention Of the
committee in defense of the argument
that the residents might look with
more hope upon fruition of their light
ing ambitions if the right were dele
gated to the United Illuminating Co.

Cagliari, Sardinia. Feb. 15-Capt.
McDonough, master of the American
schooner Lyman M. Law, which was
sunk by an Austrian submarine, will
leave here today for Rome to testify
before the American consular author
tiles with regard to the sinking of his
ship. United States Consul Tredwell
IN Rome summoned Capt. McDonough

The British consul has taken afi-
davits from Capt. >McDonough and
the crew of the Lyman M Law in
which they say that the vessel was
suddenly approached by a submarine
which gave no indication Of her ma
tionality. They say they scarcely
were given time to save themselves
before the schooner was torpedoed
and set on fire.
Rome, via Paris. Feb. 15-All the
Roman papers ask If the sinking Of
the American schooner Lyman M.
Law constitutes the overt act mem
toned by President Wilson in his
statement to, the Senate. While the
British consul in Cag1iari telegraphed
United States Consul TredweII here
that the Lyman M. Law was former
American ship. the Giornale d'Italia
says that the schooner was registered
regularly in the American merchant
marine and was flying the American
flag when she was sunk.

No Excitement at
Hearing on Excise
Measures In Capitol

Hartford, Feb. 15-Representatives
of the liquor interests and those who
favored the interests of the prohibf-
ton party, or at least those who be-
lieved in ''moderation," assembled be-
fore the excise committee yesterday
afternoon to keep an eye on the vari-
Gus measures to be heard. The repre-
sentatives of the two divisions which.
when they meet, usually furnish
something Of interest, blended into a
harmonious whole at theh caring.
The bills taken up concerned the
purchase Of liquor, the sale Of liquor,
the sale of Intoxicating liquor by
druggists, gifts Of Intoxicating liquor
to Influence elections and the distri-
button of license and no-icense bal
lots. Representative John B. Dill
Ion of Huntington appeared to favor
his bill preventing liquor from be-
ing sold to persons who use it ex-
cessively.
Mr.. Dillon urged that the COM
mittee favor a clause in his bill
which would back up the posting
order in saloons by court action. There
was some opposition to this. H. H.
Spooner, representing the prohibit
ing interests said the families of the
victims Of liquor should not be drag
ged into court and urged the commit
tee to consider this phase of the
question. William Egan and Fred
Orr representing the brewing inter-
ests, were inclined to side in with
Mr.. Spooner in this respect.
The only belligerent remark Of the
afternoon was made by E. t. G..
Hehenthal of Manchester who told
the committee thart some day the
liquor interests would be wiped out
of the state.

EXPORT FREIGHT
RULE IS CAUSE
OF CONGESTION

New York, Feb. 15-The immediate
cause Of the serious freight conges-
ton reported by many interior cities,
railroad men declared today, is their
policy of refusing shipment to New
York of freight for export unless the
shipper can prove that he has cargo
room enga ged SO that bis goods can
be loaded on a boat immediately after
It's delivery here. The rigorous appli-
cation of this rule has transferred the
accumulation of freight that other
wise would be pilirg ND here to the
warehouses in manufacturing and
producing ccnters in the West and
Bou.h
As the base of the freight transport
tatton situation a number of causes
are assigned. Among these are the
reduction in the amount of freight

one result, 1t is predicted, will be the
dumping of thousands of tons of food
stuffs into domestic markets in order
to prevent the food from perishing.
Railroads are said to be suffering
heavily financially and it is pointed
out that only by unloading supplies
at the cities where loaded cars stand
idle, instead Of holding for exporta-
ton, can the situation be relieved 80

MINORITY Will
SCAN DEFICIENCY
BILL CAREFULLY
Democratic Leader G e t S
Transcript of Appropria-
lions Committee Hearings

Hartford, Feb. 15.-The democratic
senator's are determined not to allow
| the deficiency bill reported by the
| committee on appropriations to pass
| without further scrutiny Senator
| O,Sullivan has requested Senator Boyd
| chairman of the committee, for copy
of the stenographic report of the
statements made at the hearing on
! the deficiencies in support of the ap-
preparations to meet Senator BOYD
has acceded to the request of the dem
| ocratic leader of the senate.
The deficiency bill was on the cal
endar on Tuesday starred for action
On the motion of Senator O'Sullivan
| it was tabled.
The democratic senators held a con-
ference in the lieutenant governors
room to decide on the course to pur-
sue. The request made by Senator
O'Sullivan on Senator Boyd was the
result of the conference.
| Senator O'Sullivan said it seemed
strange that SO many items Of the de-
ficiency were even dollars. He con-
| sidered it strange that there should be
a deficiency of nearly 100000.
! Senator John e. Doughan of New
Haven said the republicans during the
last campaign went through the state
proclaiming that they had saved near
ly $4,000 Of the appropriations OF
the last two years and now the gen.
eral assembly was asked to make up
a deficiency in running expenses
amounting to 100000.
There was nothing left for the
democratic senators to do but to make
the most thorough investigation OF the
deficiency bill The democrats are
not represented in the legislative
committee on appropriations and the
only way in which they can obtain
full information of the reasons for
the deficiencies is to read the steno-
graphic report Of theshearings before
the committee. There is only one
! democrat on the committee, E. Kent
Hubbard, but he was appointed a
member of the general assembly. We
may also have something to say on
the proposition to pay three members
of the finance board salary OF $l,5OO
EACH" said Senator Doughan.

leaving New York because Of Ger
many's new submarine policy; cold
weather and snow. which have deiay-
ed trains and interfered with truck
deliveries in cities; and shortage Of
cars.
The car shortage, according to w.
G.. Besler, president of the Central
Railroad Of New Jersey, is due to the
congestion of loaded cars at terminal
points and the difficulty experienced
by consignees in unloading their
goods.
For the purpose of relieving ter
minal points the railroads in this ter
ritory are imposing new embargoes.
Beginning today, the Lackawanna
will refuse freight for points west of
Buffalo in order to clear it's yards
there and allow eastern shipments to
come through. The Pennsylvania has
applied a temporary embargo or
shipments for delivery by truck in
thisc ity on all except perishable
freight, foodstuffs, government sup
plies and news print paper. The
New Haven has in effect an embargo
against shipments in less than car
load lots for delivery in New Haven
or for transfer in New Haven, where
the congestion is the most severe AT
the offices of the New York Central
it was said that measures would be
announced soon along similar lines.
The situation, it is said. will be
covered by the executive committee of
the American Railway association,
which will meet here tomorrow.
Meanwhile the associations car
service commission, of which Fairfax
Harrison, president of the Southern
Railway, is chairman, is cooperating
with the interstate commerce COM
mission, it was said here today, in
endeavoring to work out plan to
relieve the situation.

due to the strong tides which have

In addition to his other achievements Count Lux
burg appears to have accomplished the feat, usually re-
sarded as impossible, 9f nbeins in two places at the same
time. n II 80 r7 ass
l. ON Tuesday "a press Sdispatch from Buenos Aires
said that the former German minister to Argentine, had
entered a sanitarium for treatment for a nervous dis
order, and that this would, delay his departure from the
Argentine republic for. some time. :.
The New York Sun publishes a dispatch from Lan-
DON under date Of December which reads as follows:
con. nn a'sDs s.ss count to the yon H 1s.snEs.l t as'esEspa eer 1sam
minister to Argentine, has arrived in Bergen. on board
the steamship Bergensfjord and proceededS to Ger
many" . 81
If both these dispatches are correct tho dount must
have reached Bergen, as stated, last Friday, and instead
of proceeding to Germany, caused himself to be trans
ported in some mysterious manner back to Argentine,
where he entered a sanitarium on Tuesday. y =
1nasmtch, however as there was published the
statement just prior to the sailing of the Bergensfjord
that Won >Luxburg had taken passage on that ship, it
seems probable that the person who. has entered the Ar
gentine sanitarium is some person other than the for
pler German minister whose clumsiness resulted in pre-
cipitating the break between his country and Argentine.

PERMANENT INDUSTRIAL GROWTH,
A note from the Federal Bureau Of Mines says:

A note from the Federal Bureau of Mines says: 4
1T now looks very much as If the U6ited States has
already permanently established a potash industry as "a
result. of Germany cutting off her shipments ong before
this country went to war. Having depended heavily
upon Germany, which has a great natural deposit OF pot
ash, this country was at once thrown upon its own re-
sources for this necessary material, and bureau experts,
in cooperation with those of other bureaus, started to
find If possible the raw materials IN this country. Such
success has attended their efforts, Especially in obtaining
potash from the dust of cement mills, that it is declared
the United States will no longer be dependent upon any
foreign country for its essential potash supply j,
This is but one of the many cases in which there is
likely to result a permanent addition to American indus
trial activity from the war: The dependence of the
United States on Germany for its supply of dyes is often
cited. Our lack of domestic dyes came prominently to
the attention of our people early in the war, and consid-
Grafton of that condition has tended 70 distract attention
from other features at least equally important. The dye
industry appears now to have been permanently estab-
+lished in the United States. The potash industry il, an
