OUR ARMIES ARE THE RESERVES OF
 FINAL VICTORY
(Continued from Page 1.)

(Continued from Page 1.) of the engagements recorded in the west was of more than local tmpor- tance.
 Tt would appear that as fore runner to the German offensive her. aided to be launched in the west, an intensive peace propaganda is to be initiated.
 Careful examination of the situa- ton reveals that the enemy is again preparing to sue for peace before victory
 Information from various sources confirms the reports that the Ger mans would have the world believe the military situation is such that they are able to dictate terms of peace. They. therefore, threaten that unless this dictated peace Is accepted by the A1lieg powers and ourselves the German forces now being concern trateId on the western front will break through the Allied line in the west. .The various reports of immediate peace proposals by the Germans on seemingly favorable terms should not for moment induce us to slacken our preparations for war.
 ..1t is sonly necessary for us to re- call that during the Christ mas season of last year the Germans put forth very similar peace rurnors.
 "In considering the general military situation in it's true light 1t must be understood that the Germans realize that within a short time our armies will form the principal body of fresh | strategical reserves remaining avail able for action on the battle fields o1 Europe. Thus nc matter what supe- riority in men and guns the enemy | may for the time being be able to bring te bear in the west and even admitting an eventual modification os the Allied line in his flavor, neverthe- less he knows that insofar as it is 1ll1nanedv pessSbie to feresee, his ef- fort will inevitably result i'll merely a leeal success which can have no de- terrnining influence on the final out come of the war.
 "For the first two years of the wal France bore the bFsint of battle while Great Britain was preparing.
 Since the defeat of the German lferees in front of Verdun. England and the British doninions have taken over an increasingly large share o1 the burden of the war.
 "Italy has, to the limit of her forces also assumed a considerable share od this burden;
 When, as 8 result of the defactio1 of the Russian forces the weight o Austro- German pressure was directed
 against Italy, France and Bnsian'
 united in coming to the rescue of thef
 ally, and are today aiding the Ital

LABOR TROUBLES
 IN BOSTON OF
 SERIOUS IMPORT

Boston, Dec. 24-Three public ser- vice corporations are involved in la- Dor troubles which will come to a head this week in votes by the unions on the questions of strikes which would seriously inconvenience the public of the city and of New Eng land generally.
 Representatives of the local unions of the car men on the system of the Bay State Street Railway Co.,, which covers large part of eastern Mas sachusetts and extends into New Hampshire and Rhode Island, met here today to determine what action to take with regard to their griev- ances.
 The telephone operators union of this city will ballot on Wednesday on the question of striking to enforce their demands for increased wages recently made on the New England Telephone & Telegraph Go.
 The union employees of the Boston Consolidated Gas Go. will take a strike vote on Friday night. The men demand increased wages and im- proved working conditions.

ian armies.
 Tt is our duty, therefore, in look ing to the future, to realize that if we are to fulfil the pledge we made on entering the war, we must assume the full responsibility which rests upon us. We are the freshest in the strug- gle; we have the reserve man power and the reserve mechanical power.
 "Our armies constitute the reserves of victory!
 'In Russia the armistice negotia- tions having been concluded, peace negotiations are about to be entered upon.
 Reports of the dissatisfaction of g large element of the Russian populs tion, especially in southern and cen tral Russia, with the terms of the armistice has led to the formation of an active opposition which it is be. lieved will endeavor to resist all at tempts to enforce the proposals agreed to by the Lenine government

TO GARRY XMAS CHEER INTO THE
 ITALIAN ARMY

Venice, Dec. 24.-American Christ mas cheer will be carrted to the lta1- ian soldiers in the trenches and to the sick and wounded soldiers in and around Venice by B. Harvey Carroll, IT,, American consul in Venuice, act ing for the American Red Cross. MT. Carroll will leave Venice with Gen. Di Viterfranchescea, 50 as to make the tour of the trenches on Christmas eve. They will be accompanied by detacfments of soldiers with trucks bearing huge bundles of gifts for distribution among the troops.
 Each soldier will receive a package containing socks, handkerchiefs, to- bacco. sweets, some articles of food and @ distinctive present.
 Another distribution will be made in Venice on Christmas eve and Christ mas morning to wounded soldiers and civilian poor. Large numbers of wounded are now coming in from the Piave to the hospitals of Venice Each of these wi12 be remembered with clothing, food and sweets.
 The civilian poor are cared for reg ularly to the number of 1,200. Eight hundred received meals at one Ameri- can soup kitchen and 400 at another American kitchen. In addition to the extra Christmas dinner each woman ] and child will receive a present of clothing and food. The clothing con- sists of blankets, shawls, undercloth- ing and stockings, most of which has been made in the American Red Cross factory in Maestro, suberb of vence, The city of Venice remains compar- atively undisturbed by the recent re- newal of enemy pressure on the lower Piave nearest to Venice, where his line Is 12 miles east of the city. While shells from the heavy guns could reach Venice 1t is known that the enemy has I been unable to bring across the river anything except machine guns and a few pieces of small cariber. No shells have fallen anywhere near the city, The rumble of the bombardment can be heard day and night, but the popu- lation has become accustomed to it. as 1t had to the previous menace from the air and the sea.
 One of the chief reasons for calm l is the belief that Pope Benedict has intervened in some way by which the Austrians will not sheN the city. This ! report cannot be verified but the pop. ulat1on generally believes it and it is one of the main reasons for the calm with which the pressure on the lowe, Ptave has been accepted.

RAPID INCREASE
 OF POPULATION
 OF CONNECTICUT


 After the census of 1910 was taken a calculation was made of the ratio of children of school age to total pop ulation in each town. and, using this percentage. it is possible to figure out almost exactly the population Of any town now by taking the enumerated school children and then figuring from that
 By this calculation. which has been proved very nearly correct when test ed by official censuses. 1t appears that the population of the state in Septem- Der last year was 1,41o,193. against 1,114.756 in 191o In this period Bridge lport has shown the greatest gain, rising from 102.054 to 152,524, a gain of 50.470. While the state has increased at about 25 per cent. rate. Bridge port has increased at practically 50 per cent. In numerical increase
 Hartford stands second. Having been set down in the 1910 census at the ridiculous figure of sS, ,915, 1t shows by these figures of 1917 a population of 12s,35a, an increase of so,4Ss. Some of the larger places with their popula- ton are aa follows.
