FRENCH CURBINC NEGOTIATIONS BY
 SWISS TRADERS
Government Willing te Send Food Balks at Ex-
 porting to Germany

Paris. March 22.-The French gov- ernment is making 8 special effort to see that food importations into Switz- erland shall not be interfered with, as long as they are applied solely to the needs of the Swiss. Denys Coch- in, Minister of Blockade in Premier Briand's Cabinet, has been in Berne recently going over the entire Swiss food question with members of the Swiss government.
 MT. Cochin explained today that the object of the French government was to do everything possible to aid in the ample provisioning of the Swiss but to prevent At the same time any margin being left to re-export to Germany. Germany's agent, he said, were endeavoring to strip the Swiss market of everything buyable.
 ITO prevent transportation to Ger many" said the Minister, I've have adopted the following scheme:-We take the imports into Switzerland for the last year, of grain for instance, and subtract from them the exports of grain to Germany. The remain der tells the bread requirements of the Swiss people,"
 MT. Cochin said that the Germans were paying about 1,800 Swiss francs head for Swiss cattle. With a de- precfation of 37 per cent in the mark this would make the actual price in Germany about 2,30O marks a head.

REDUCE COPPER
 90 PER CENT TO
 AID GOVERNMENT
Action of Producers Means a Saving of Nearly
 $1O,OO0,OOO

Washington, March 22. - Copper producers have manifested their pa triotism by an offer to the govern ment of a cut in the price of the metal of more than fifty per cent. saving of nearly $10,000. The offer has been made for a period of one year, 20,- 000,000 pounds to be furnished to the navy and 25,51O,oO0 to the army for the same period. The rate is to be approximately 16 2-3 cents fb.. Copper is now selling in the open market between thirty y-seven and thir- ty-eight cents a pound.
 The offer has been approved by Jo- sephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, and Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War.
 The arrangement was made through Bernard M. Baruch, of New York, chairman of the committee on min ing and metals of the Council of Ma tiona1 Defence.
 For more than a week MT. Baruch has been in conference with repre- sentatives of the large copper pro- ducing and smelting interests. In making the announcement of the of- fer MT. Clifford, director of the coun- ell, said;
 "This willingness to furnish the cop per supply needed by the government at a maximum concession in price is a very gratifying evidence of the rec ognition of men of large affairs of their patriotic obligation and both the War and Navy departments ap- preciate their generous and public spirited attitude"
 The amount of copper which the producers agree to furnish will be enough, it is believed, to supply the needs of the army and navy for a year. The understanding is that If this is not sufficient the price is to stand for all the copper the govern ment needs during the twelve months.

 Hartford, March 22-Visions of a new gas company in Greenwich faded yesterday in the House of Represen- tatives when an adverse report of the committee on interpretations on pe- tition from prominent Greenwich folks for the incorporation of the Greenwich Citizens Gas Go. was &C., cepted, and the petition laid gently in the legislative burying ground
 The petitioners we're Ralph S Brush, Robert L.\ Chamberlain, Alp. pott P. Brush and Augustus s. Tough ton, none of whom stands high with the ascendant Republican powers of Greenwich. Both representatives and also Senator Mead of Greenwich op- posed the measure.
 The petitioners sought authority to begin business with $100,000, with au- thority to increase capital to $50O,- poo, and the right, also, to purchase the gas mains so far laid by the United Electric Light & Power Co., of Greenwich. The price was to be fixed either by mutual agreement, or by the superior court.

BRAVE ICE JAM
 IN HOUSAT0NIC
 WITH COAL TOW
Tug Crew Brings Fue. to Docks of American Brass
 Co. Despite Freshet.

The first navigation of the Hou- danger was accomplished yesterday morning when the steam tug John Glen managed to reach the docks of the American Brass Company with 8 much needed barge-load of coal.
 A heavy freshet is running In the river with momentary expectation that the ice jam above the Derby dam which Is reported as between Is and 20 inches thick will come down the river with rush.
 Disquieting news from Derby yes- terday reached local towboat offices in this city that the water coming over the dam has risen to an unexpected height of IA inches, the largest To- ported for several years.
 Because of the stringency of the coal situation and the arrival of the barge Helen in Bridgeport last night with a cargo for the American Brass Co. it was decided to attempt the run up the dangerous channel to Strat- ford.
 The tug Glen, one of the most pow erful in the fleet of the Bridgeport Towing Co.,, in command of Capt. Schulthe1ss, was selected TOT the trip. Even with an incoming tide the Glen found that the rush of water outward to the Sound overcame the action of the tide causing a decided rip" near the mouth of the river and heavy pulling above the Stratford light.
 The proposed attempt to run the first barge of the season through to Derby is likely to be postponed unless height and velocity. for a vessel caught in a sudden icefiow by the breaking of the jam above Derby would wreck any vessel caught above Washington bridge

NAME ADVISORY
 MUNITION BOARD
 AS DEFENCE STEP
Manufacturers to Revise Methods to Prepare Against Waste of
 Time.

Washington, March 22-The Ad- visory Commission of the Council for National Defence will announce to- day the personnel of a "Munition Standards Board" which it has just appointed. The new Board will con- sist of six of the leading munition manufacturers of the country, heads of plants now turning out the largest war orders for this and foreign gov ernments. The first meeting of the Board will take place late this after noon with Howard E.. Coffin, of the Naval Advisory Board.
 The purpose of the Board is to pre- pare in advance against the great waste in time, material and money which would be involved in hurried ly converting manufacturing plants into munition factories in time of war.
 The work mapped out will com- mence with discussions of standard ization of machine parts and tools, with a view to rapid substitution of war for peace machinery and quick replacement of broken parts in time of war. The British government in taking over private factories encoun- tered a great deal of trouble through lack of standardization and through the inability of the government and private manufacturers to come to a complete understanding as to the needs of the former. By agreeing on a series of standards as to material and special equipment and machin- cry needed to produce war supplies it is hoped to avoid this in advance.
 A call has been issued for meet ing of the chairmen of the commit tees of business men recently organ ized by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States to work in connec- tion with the Council for National Defence. MT. Baker, Secretary of War, recently requested the national chamber to appoint such committees to cooperate with army district de- pot quartermasters in the purchase of supplies now authorized by law The mobilization of these local com mittees has gone forth rapdily, with the result that all chairmen have been called to Washington for a con ference Monday, April 2.

Relations with Spain


 Washington City, March l7.-Ine president of the United states yes. terday transmitted to the House oi Representatives, three documen's' comprising the information calleo Aoi on motion of MT. Robertson respect ing the recent demands by Spain. They consist of two letters rom .he Snanish minister to the secretary, the last of which Is dated the 4tn lns''' and a. reply to the letters by the Sec- retarv of State dated the 18th inst.
 Substantially the Spanish minister makes the following demands under the express commands of his master the king:
 That portion of territory west of the Perido. which the United States have claimed and held under the Louisiana treaty, should be delivered up. after which he intimates the two governments may discuss the right to 1t:
 That the government will take measures to punish and disperse "a facetious band of insurgents in Louis- Jana and especially New Orleans, who as the Minister alleges. continue with impunity to raise armies and light the flame of revolution in the Spanish provinces, etc.
 3-That the orders be given the collectors not to admit vessels under the revolutionary flogs of South America, either to land or sell the shameful proceeds of their piracy, as it is termed, much less to equip and arm.
 The Minister asserts that for seven years a gang of adventurers have as- sailed Spain from the bosom of the republic.
 (Continued tomorrow)
 At the time the Spanish minister was submitting this note Spain was at war with most of the South Ameri- can republics, they having thrown off her authority and declared their in- dependence.
