High school principals will decide
the fate of the proposed Thanksgiv-
ing Day Junior Red Cross football
game at a meeting today.
The proposition to play a big scho-
lastic football game between the win
ner Of the present series and an all
star combination composed OF players
from the four schools, which failed to
produce the championship team, has
been put squarely up to the hve prin-
cipals.
Once before in, high school football
a benefit game was played. In 1911
Central aud Tech came TO the end OF
the serieE with a tie. II was decided
that q benefit game would be played
on Georgetown field. The day was n
miserable one and both teams waded
through a sea OF mud,
The all-star proposition has never
appealed In either high school or col
lege football. There are so many OBJ
jections to such a contest that II Is
thought that the principals will de-
cline to sanction II, although the
cause is particularly worthy.
Eastern and Business will take the
field in the Central stadium tomorrow
afternoon in the fourth OF the high
school title series. The game is ex.
peoted to be a hard-fouEht affair. as
Eastern Is expected to make up in
speed what Business has in weight.
Business was somewhat crippled
after its recent game with Western,
but has had time to come back. The
Stenographers have been somewhat
disheartened this year on account OF
their late start.
Jack Gass, John DuEan, and Bill

HOME CUARDSMEN l WILL PAY FINES
 OR GO TO PRISON

Members of the Home Guard, whe joined that organi nization with the idea that military life was bed of roses, were rudely jolted today when they received bills for failure to attend drills regularly. They were fined $1 for each absence and in some in- stances fines amounting to sS or $10 were imposed.
 The company captains kept a care- full account of those absent and were prepared to send out the bills when notified to do so. If these bills are not paid promptly copies will be sent to Adjt Henry c. Stevenson. He will give copies to a sheriff, to be served Hike any civil suit. If the de1inquents do not pay then, they will be taken to the county jail where they will be compelled to work out their fines at the rate of s1 a day.
 It is said Home Guardsmen have been careless about drill attendance because they did not think any pen- atty would be imposed, despite the fact that such a penalty was provided
 for by the regulations. It is safe to say that in the future there will be 1 few absentees when the roll is called.

HEAVY WIND BLOWS zEPP RAIDERS INTO ALLIED LINES

Paris, Oct. 29-Fifteen German aeroplanes were brought down by British aviators Iii recent fighting over the battle area in northern France says the official statement on aviation issued by the British war office last night. German aerodromes and rafl- road stations were bombed heavily. Eight British machines are/reported missing.
 Official examination of the crews of the zeppelin captured in France on returning from the raid over. England shows that the expedition consisted of 8 airships, which left singly from three depots on the night of Oct 19. The raid was expected to last from 20 to 25 hours. c
 The raiders made for the English coast, which was recognized by light houses. They were hampered con siderab1y by the fire of British anti. aircraft guns and by numerous searchlights, which caused them to drop almost all their bombs when sailing at a height of more than 16 1000 feet.
 They were caught by a strong northeasterly wind and when they at tempted to return to their bases their speed was slackened by the persistent head winds At dawn the L-49 the airship that fell intact into the hands of theIFrench, dropped to a lower level, her commander believing he was over Holland or Westphalia. The crew waved white flags. It was not until after o'clock in the morning that the commander became certain that he was over France, and at the same time the zeppelin was sighted by French aeroplanes, which forced it to land.
 A little later the L-5e passed over the L-49. which was then on the ground surrounded by French aero. planes. The L-50 maneuvered foE 3 | landing in a neighboring wood. to give the members of the crew as good ar

 ACT RULING BY
 JUDGE CURTIS

The first ruling to be made. under the workingmen's compensation act, Of the legal standing of the son of a di- vorced woman, was handed down to- day when Judge Curtis of the superior court gave a decision in the case of Herbert DuFrane of Mt. Vernon, N. Y, and Elizabeth DuFrane of New York, against the Stamford Gas & Electric Go.
 The action was brought to recover comptnsation for the death of Carter DuFrane, who was killed while in the employ of the Stamford concern Judge Curtis decided that Compensa- ton Commissioner Buckingham erred in finding that Herbert DuF'rane, the son, was not a dependant of the dead man. A new trial is ordered.
 The evidence showed that Carter DuFrane married Florence Wander off in 1910, but she subsequently, ob- tained a divorce. They had one son, who joined in bringing the present suit. Elizabeth DuFrane, mother of the dead man, also claimed to be a dependent She is 51 years old and is a scrub woman in a New York office building. Her standing in the matter will be decided at the new trial

Petrograd, Oct. 23.-Two German dreadnaughts, one cruiser, 12 torpedo boats and one transport were put out of action by the Russians nkhe fight ing around the islands in the gulf of Riga last week, but their ultimate fate Is unknown, says an official statement by the Russian admiralty It has been established that at least six German torpedo boats were sunk in the fighting. The Russians lost the battle ship SIava and g large torpedo boat.
 The admiralty staff in it's report of the fighting says that the Russian units fought excel-ontly against the superiority of the Germans. The statement reads:
 During Oct. 21 important enemy naval forces, together with transports. were sighted lby our outposts in the gulf of Riga. In Moon sound the en- emy seems to be clearing the water of obstructions which we laid down. There was no naval action during the day, but enemy submarines were dis covered in the gulf of Finland.
 "As the naval operations in the Baltic isles have now ended, 1t is pos sible to review them.S The task of our fleet in this region was with the or gandzed position of Moon Sound as a base, to prevent enemy attempts to seize the gulf of Riga and Moon Sound. So long as the German fleet

 rested had much l. w. w. literature upon his person.
 Lane has found from his investiga- tions that Golden was called August S1 in the draft in Buffalo, N. Y., but failed to show up for examination, and he will be turned over to the military authorities as stacker.
 It is believer here that Golden was seeking employment at the Rening- ton shops for the purpose of organi- zation of the I. w. W. and also to hamper the making of munitions in every way possible. Among the doc uments on his person when arrested were descriptions of methods of sabot- age, and other. activities which would hamper the work of the shops No actual overt act is charged against Golden, but the fact that he is an evader of the draft will probably curb his further activities.

 Tn the recent operations the ene- my employed the major part of his fleet and his overwhelming superiority enabled him to carry out debarkation rapidly and successfully. Our fleet only was able to do it's best to hinder these effofts and to fnflict maximum losses. With thts object WA delivered a. series of attacks, using all the naval resources in our possession
 = As result of these operations the enemy lost through minees submarine attacks and artillery fire two dread naughts. one cruiser, f2 torpedo boats, one transport. and numerous mine sweepers, all of which were put out of action. Their ultimate fate is un- known. We have established the &C., tual loss of six enemy torpedo boats. two of which were of the small type and were sunk by gunf1re in combats or blown up by mines. The wreck of the torpedo boat T-69 is visible on a sand bank in Kassar bay. Further, our coast batteries sank four enemy torpedo boats.
 Our losses are the ship of the line Slava. and a large torpedo boat of the Grom type. The efficiency of our other ships has been maintained com plete1y."

 We are in the midst of great war not of our own seeking. i. Hundreds of thousands of our men are already on the other, side actively engaged in tbis unprecedented struggle. The waging of war costs enormous sums of money and it is incumbent upon each and every one of us to make sac rif1ces and give to our government the benefit of as much of our money as is possible. We here enjoy political freedom. It is our peculiar privilege to bring this great boon of political freedom to the other nations of the world.
 Tn accordance with the preclama- ton issued by the President of the United States, the governors of states and the mayors of cities.

WHOLESALER
 SIP ES. WITH SUGAR.
Bridgeport Flour & Grain Co. Has Kept Forty Bar reIs Stored at Docks and Will Sell Wholesale For a Sum in Excess of Hoover's Retail Price.

Buffalo, Oct. 23-Federal se- cret service agents today re- ported to Washington the dis covery in a Buffalo warehouse of millions of pounds of sugar in bags and barrels, labelled top crust flour" A federal agent estimated the amount of sugar at 15e carloads, or about 10,000,000 pounds.
 The Bridgeport Flour & Grain Co.,, a2S5 Housatonic avenue, of which Samuel Ginsberg is president. has 40 barrels of sugar. that it is alleged has been stored in the freight docks in this city for 21 days for speculative pur- poses, and which the firm is going to sell today at wholesale for slightly less than 10 cents a pound. This wholesale price is in excess of the fg- sure Food Administrator Hoover says it should sell at retail. <
 Through an authoritative source to- day The Farmer learned that 40 bar rels of sugar for the Bridgeport Flour & Grain Co. has been stored on the docks for Fl days and that the com pany paid $40 storage for it. Gins berg admitted to The Farmer that he took 40 barrels of sugar from the dock today and further admitted that he was going to sell it for price slightly lower than 10 cents a pound.
 The fact that the sugar laid on the docks for 21 days is prima facie evil dence that it was purchased in New York at least four of five days before October 1. At that time Bridgeport wholesalers paid 8.S5 cents pound, f. o. b. New York. The average cost for freightage has been nine cents a hundred pounds.
