Thieda was for years. private secre-

CLAIM STATE STREET lS|BEHIND

Is State street out to punish Alder

The department store interests are

the complaint that the downtown
stores are fighting their candidate.
In opposing KeTneT they are Joined
by the owners Of big stores and ex-
press companies in his neighbOrhOOd
which own auto trucks.
KeTner himself hesitated to talk
about the part the~lOOp firms are
playing in his ward. He admitted,
though, that he had heard they were
solid behind his opponent.
Il won't say that Mr. Thieda is &C
cepting the support of the business
firms which would rather fight a law
and its maker than have it enforced.
l know that he is rated as an honor
able man.
But reports have come to us re-
peatedIy that the hoop interests are
pushing his candidacy. I have been
told that there will be a barrel Of
money spent next Tuesday by those
who don't care for Thieda especially,
but who want me out of the council.

residents of my ward realize the ire

me they will flock to the polls and
show the business interests that a
really public-spirited alderman shall
not suffer because he sets out to reg

Kerner had the fender law passed
in the face of the united opposition of
every department store in the loop,
the express companies, the public
utility corporations, the newspapers,

JAVA FINDS NEW
 MARKET IN U. $.

Batavia, Netherlands, East Indies, June 6-The value of Java's exports to American in the first quarter of 1917 exceeded that of the entire ex- port in the year 916. Considerable public interest has recently been at tracted to the big extension that di- rect trade with the United States has undergone. Largely in consequence of war circumstances, the Holland markets are being eliminated in a number of cases. For instance, one or two important purchases of tobacco for American have been made here recently instead of, as usual, at the Amsterdam auction sales. We'll known American commercial men have been visiting the Netherlands East Indies, and the American bank ing world is extending it's operations in the colony. Efforts have been set on foot to find a regular market for Java tea in the United States
 Japan, as well as America, is keen ly alive to the commercial possibilities of the country and, in the enforced absence of German and other com petitors, Japanese trade is rapidly ex- tending.

English Subjects Who Won't Enlist May Be Men
 Without Country"

New York, June 6.-British sub jects living in the United States who are of military age and who refuse to enlist in the Kings armies are likely to become linen without country" It is estimated there are 500,000 men in this predicament.
 One of the first results of the con- ferences between the United States government officials and the Balfour commission apparent to the public was the repeal by Congress of the law which prohibited the enlistment of aliens in this country for foreign service. They way was opened at once to recruit the subjects of Great Britain now in this country. While the mems enlistment is vol untary and they cannot be conscript- ed, statements 1bade yesterday by Gen. Bridges, head of the military staff accompanying the British com mission, and Gen. w. A. White, c. M. G., in command of the British Re- cruiting commission emphasize the far-reaching power of the co-opera- ton between the two nations, for all British subjects who shirk the call of their country will probably De dis enfranchised by an act of parliament. The effect of this is to bring strong
 
 tween the ages of IS and 45. Gen. Bridges in a statement made yesterday expressed the greatest grat- ification over the repeal of the old law and the passage of an amend ment by Congress permitting all citi- zens of the allied nations to enlist here.
 'There are large numbers of Bri- tish subjects living here," he said, l "who before the repeal of the old law were unable to enlist because there was no available machinery to handle them. I expect that they will now come forward i} large numbers to the call of their country
 Through the cooperation of the United States and the officials of the War Department with the British re- cruiting mission under Gen. White, who will open his headquarters at No. 2S0 Broadway June 6, every British subject or native of any of the allied countries can enlist immediately for service with either the British or Canadian regiments.
 'Men between the ages of IS and 45 can present themselves either at this headquarters or at any of the United States recruiting depots and after passing a preliminary medical examination will be forwarded free of charge to British or Canadian depots. .'"The decision of the United States in adopting conscription proves that the importance of supervision of man power is recognized in this country. While affording opportunities for voluntary enlistment the law of na- tions does not recognize men with out, a country and every man who en- iOyS the privileges of citizenship has obligations to fulfil.
 "It will be the object of both the United States and Great Britain to insure no escape from these obliga- tions and measures will be taken to this end. I have every confidence in the loyalty and fighting spirit of the British race and feel they will an- swer willingly the call of the empire in it's hour of need"

MRS. J. B. DODD.

Mrs. John B. Dodd. of Spokane, Wash, is to be given credit for having instigated the idea of Fathers Day, the first Sunday in June, and with that distinction goes the title of ''The Mother of Fathers Day. While Mothers Day, the second Sunday in May, mothered by Mrs. Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, has many years of his- tory behind it, and is steadily spread ing it's influence behind it, fathers day is not quite so well known throughout the United States. although it is ob- served by many children throughout the land. Mrs. Dodd's suggestion that a day be set aside in her own city, Spokane, met with instant favor, and the idea rapidly spread to other sections. Fathers day in 1910 was the first observation there and in re- cent years the movement to do a hit of honor to daddy has grown rap idly-thanks to Mrs. Dodd-who must have had a wonderful father to inspire the idea. =

NUTMECSTATE
 WOMEN 60 INTO DEFENSEC COUNCIL

 The object of the Woman's Commit tee of National Defense is the CO., ordinating of the organized forces of the women of the country in order to secure greater efficiency in "de- fense work of the nation'' Each state division of this committee will be expected to investigate the work of the different organizations now under way, and to so coordinate activities as to eliminate duplication and over tapping.

law Buell., Litchfeld, first vice chair man; Mrs. Thomas N. Hepburn, Hart ford, second vice chairman; Mrs. w. B. D. Scott, Greenwich. third vice chairman; Mrs. Edward w. w. Hay ward, fourth vice chairman.
 A discussion regarding the registra- tion of women throughout the state elicited the fact that at the beginning of the war Germany was the only country that had complete registra- tion of women and was thereby en- abled to secure large groups of women promptly when their services were needed. A resolution was adopted urging the President and Congress to authorize registration of women within specified ages. It was also voted that the chairman should write to the Congressional representatives from Connecticut urging their support of the registration of all women of specified ages through government authorization and agencies.
 Miss Caroline Ruutz-Rees, the chairman, is the principal of Rose mary hall, Greenwich, a large school for girls. She is member of the executive board of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association, and chairman of the Central War Work committee of that association; she is a member of the Connecticut Re- search society, and is widely known throughout Connecticut. Miss Ruutz- Rees was born in London, and reeeiv- ed her early education in Scotland and Paris. She afterward received the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy from Columbia university.

COUNTRY MUST AWAKE TO DANGER, NATI0NAL. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
 SAYS; INDIVIDUALS MUST SUBSCRIBE

Washington, June 6.-Declaring the lUnfted States is fast approaching a crisis where. any day may see actual warfare brought to it's own shores, th& ] Chamber of Commerce of the United States yesterday sent to President l Wilson a resolution asking him to name a, commission to investigate the i war, give the people the truth and 1 arouse them to sense of their dan ger. The chamber represents all the chambers of commerce in America. 2
 The resolution, which is sent out un- !der the signature of Joseph H. De- 1 6rees, of Chicago, chairman of the ,>~hamlber, sums up the country's peril thus.
 Aside from the question of short ening the war, there are life and death reasons why the United States l should speed preparations for the great conflict
 There are possible and even prob able contingencies which might cause i the United States to bear the brunt of 1 the fighting on her own shores. They are:
 'If Russia should collapse. i "If the English fleet be, overcome. '.R the food situation should bring ! our allies to their knees. i '.f great revefsa1s should be met on l the Western front.
 If the submarine menace be not checked"
 : The chamber, made up of big busi- ! ness men all over the country, con- | siders- the situation so acute; the exec utive committee, after drawing up the resolutions, requested telegraphic ap- proval by it's members. This was granted yesterday, and the contents of the resolution, which actually was i passed May A, were made public
 President Wilson, it is understood, l will name a war commission, entirely independent of all other bureaus. The National Security league it is an- nounced,' will send 2,0OO speakers throughout the country as soon as. the new commission can get under way The chamber says the main obstruc- tion to speed is the failure of the peo- ple to appreciate the face that we are at war;
 It is felt an urgent need exists for precisely the same kind of campaign of national education and information as that conducted by England when 1t came to the realization-of what war really meant
 Seven urgent matters, in the opin- ion aof" the Chamber, must clear to the l people,.
 That the banks cannot take care of the bonds, The bonds must be bought by individuals.
 2-That conscription does not carry ] with it anything of disgrace It is as patriotic and much more effective than the medieval system of volun- I teering.
 SI71That That labor must mbeszreadj djusted on "a large, scales EIts must be made more productive and its varied prob lems carefully considered.
 4-The food administration will nec- essarily be repressive, but is in the in- terest of all. .z
 5-That there is a false and a proper national economy. Business in war time ifs not as usual''
 6-Thats the Intelligent co-opera- tion of woman in both direct and in- direet 5braHchessDf war effort is abso- l lutely essential. E s% Q
 iS That there should be a central
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-06-06

ized control for the systematic SUD- port of the families Of those who go to war. This should be through the intelligent cooperation of the gov- ernment, local organizations and em- ployers.
 The Chamber emphasizes that. the contingencies of which it warns are not wild imaginings, but are likely to happen at any time. The resolution reads:
 The impossible has happened so often in this war that any one of these contingencies is not impossible
 The Germans should have gotten through at the Marne, and captured Paris and Calais, and established con- trol of the Channel. The English fleet SHOULD HAVE annihilated the Ger man fleet at Jutland. The Central Powers SHOULD HAVE been starved before the last harvest
 Turning to the question of the sub- marine, the association again finds it necessary to emphasize the fact that we may have the scene. of great bat ties transferred to our own shores It says:
 .1. .'The submarine campaign has re- suited in the destruction of 1,500,-
 900 tons of shipping during the months of February, March and April -coincident with this enormous de- crease of. the worlds ocean-going mer- cantile marine have come increased demands upon shipping, and the two combi to make this one of the most l' important and most threatening as- poets of the war situation today.
 ,."The worldwide food shortage is making. itself felt hardest upon Ger many, next upon certain Entente countries and lastly upon the neutral countries, especially Scandinavia and Spain. The effect of this shortage
 may soon be felt here.
 | This, then,- makes it highly inn portant that the United States quickly mobilize it's entire forces in order to bring about a decision before the brunt of the fight Is shifted to Amer ica''
 | The circular concludes with the warning that present conditions indi- cate clearly great crisis is approach i ing in the war situation ,and that it is probable the united efforts of Amer ica on a prodigious scale must be
 called for in the very near future. A systematic campaign, it says, should be projected by the national government which would clear away all doubts from the minds of the peo- pie as to what threatens them, as to what obligations rest on them now and henceforth every day until the bwar is won.
 Officers of the United States Cham ber. of Commerce, under whose direc- ton the circular was last night sent to the President, to Congressmen and broadcast throughout the country, are:.
 R. Goodwyn Rett, attorney, of | Charleston, s. G., president; vice-pres- iqents, Harry A. Wheeler, banker, of Chicago; John H. Fahey, former pub fisher of the Boston Transcript; A B. .Farquhar, of York, Pa, and Chas. Nagel, former Secretary of Commerce and Labor; Willis H. Booth, of Los Angeles; Joseph H. Defrees, of Chi cago, and Samuel McRoberts of the American International Corporation, New York; treasurer, John Joy Ed son, Washington, banker.
