New Hayen's Earnings.

An analysis OF the returns of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad for February indicates that
it made a much better report than
for the corresponding month in 1916.
Many roads have shown decreases
for both January and February In
net corporate income, while the New
Haven returns for 1917 show an in
crease for February of $4,000 over
1916 and for the two months ended
February 2S an increase OF S756, 900.
The balance or deficit after fixed
charges for February for a term OF
years is as follows: 1913, 1921 .130.51; ;
1914, $777, 7,436.04; 1915, $5s.120.54; 1916,
1857, 1859: 1917, S31T ,050.53.
February is a short month and the
company for q number OF years has
not earned its monthly proportion OF
fixed charges in that month. Feb
ruary. 1917, however, was better than
any February in the last five years
except 1915, since which time most
wages and nearly all prices of ma
terIals have advanced, especially coal.
Included in February, 1917, were ad-
ditional labor expenses OF Sl36,217.42
because OF the Adamson law.

CAPTIVES PUT UNDER FIRE
Germans Forcing French to Work
on Front.

PARIS, April 3.-R. Ducret, presi-
dent of the Besancon Prisoners Of War
Association. has forwarded TO the for
eign office a declaration made by Be-
sancon man. a prisoner, who was forced

jcrity had no bedding, and were obliged
to sleep in the mud. and that all were
forbidden to write to their families or
receive any letters. money or parcels.
The prisoners cantonments were six
miles from the front and. the fugitive
says, they were made to work on
trenches or railways 400 yards from
the French line. When he escaped one
Of his comrades had been killed and
several wounded by French shell fire.
The refugee estimated that 5000
Frenchmen were being forced to work

MAY TAKE LIQUOR TRADE
Committee Said to Have Urged Gov.
ernment Control In England.

LONDON, April at is reported
on reliable authority that a commit
tee appointed a few weeks ago to
investigate the question of state pur-
chase of the liquor traffic has decided
in favor OF the project, and the gov
ernment will soon take over the en-
tire trade.
There is no indication that the gov
ernment intends to enforce unfair
terms or take any mandatory action.
1t will simply put the matter on q
basis OF war necessity.
Owing to the grain shortage the
brewing output has been cut down
already from 5000. 900 barrels to TO-
600, 900. The brewers admit the trade
could be carried on under state con-
troll more efficiently and economically
than under the present system of d.
versifed competing interests. With
state control the burden on the rail-
roads would be relieved. each company
sharing the expense OF the others
and each district being supplied from
the nearest brewery.
