GERMANS HOPE
FOR PEACE EARLY
In NOVEMBER

Washington, Oct 24.-An Italian
workman interned in Germany since
the beginning OF the war has escaped
through the Alps to his own country
with a report that the German peo-
pie want peace and expect it to come
in November. ~
Official dispatches received here
today tell the mans story, accord
ing to which the Germans have aban-
doned hope Of victory at arms. La
borers are threatening to leave fac
tories If the war continues another
winter and the civil population gen.
orally is living in terrible conditions.
He said 80 soldiers attending circus
at Essen were killed at one time by
bombs of allied aviators.
Interesting statements about Ger
many's unsettled political situation
and treachery in the ranks of the
army made by an east Prussian pris-
on have been received in official
dispatches.
According to this soldier the So
cialtstic and revolutionary spirit is
growing SO rapidly that 1t is expected
to endanger the supremacy of the
Junkers by spring and the military
authorities are adopting most severe
repressive measures. He also said
German privates left their officers to
their fate in the face of fire and that
officers hated by their troops fell on
battlefields with bullets in their
backs

SUGAR AT TIIGH PRICES.
(Hartford Courant.)


Sugar has been more expensive
than it now is within the memory of
persons still in the flesh. When mon
and women were looking forward to
the end or an earlier war they were
paying Is or 20 cents a pound for
white sugar which was by no means
the graduated sort that Is now the
standard sugar. In those days white
sugar was lumpy and was regarded
as a luxury to be used at Thanks
giving and Christmas time while var
ious grades of brown sugar were
found on the table as a rule.
OF the brown sugars there were al
least three grades, the light brown

End of the Thirty Years War
(Ilicorporated)
FAIRFIELD AVE. AND MIDDLE ST

The Thirty Years War" the first
great war for religious liberation in
Germany, was ended 269 years ago
today, Oct. "a, 1648, by the treaty
of Westphalia. The destruction of
life and property in this war was un-
precedented, being outdone only by
the ruin wrought in the present con-
flict, and it took Germany two hun
dred years to recover from its eff
fects. Law and order had almost
ceased to exist, bands of hungry peo-
pie roaned about the country, chill
dren grew up to be men and women
without knowing that there was such
a thing as peace.

To Save Food

Plans are being made by the Wo-
mans Division of the Council of Ma
tional Defense to canvas the town
next week to procure signatures to
the Food Administration pledge cards.
Every woman in the town who is a
housekeeper or who has the handling
of food and provisions will be asked
to sign the cards. The pledge is writ
ten on the cards. It Is hoped that
1900 cards sent here from Hartford
will be filled and returned. Every
woman who appends her name will
also receive blue card to be placed
in the window of her home stating
that she belongs to the Food Conser-
walton association.
Final arrangements have been
made by the Liberty Loan committee
of which Walter Goddard Is general
chairman for rally to be held this
evening at the town hall for the pur-
pose of stimulating interest in those
who have not already purchased Lib
erty bonds. Subscriptions to the Lib
erty Loan made up to date has reach
ed $4,000. Only three, more days
remain in which the remainder of
Stratford's quota, $4,000 is to be col
looted Judging from yesterdays re-
turns the town bids fair to outdistance
itself in raising it's present quota,
| $61, 900 than it did in the first Liberty
| Loan campaign.
| Howard Speers, o.. Bridgeport who
is conducting the Liberty Loan cam
paign in Bridgeport will be the speak
er. Prior to the meeting there will
be a parade consisting Of the Home
Guard, Boy Scouts, and various clubs
and organizations of the town who
will traverse the principal thorough
fares. The Stratford Fife and Drum
Corps will lead the procession.

Especial to The Farmer)

Stratford, Oct. 24.-The seIectmen
of Stratford are perplexed as to how
they will fill the ranks Of the fire de-
partment which has been depleted by
the draft. Out of SO members be-
tween 35 and 40 are at camp or have
enlisted in some branch Of service.
Only 10 remain at home and of this
number hardly any one of them is
available in case Of fire especially
during the night. So hard pressed Is
Chief Allan D. Judson for help that
he has appealed to the selectmen who
in turn have enlisted the services Of
the police department. From now on
the police headquarters will be at the
fire house and in case of fire break
ing out at night Chief William B.
Nichols and Policeman H. Briggs
Barnum will respond with Chief judi
son. A movement will be started in
a few days whereby the selectmen in
tend to make canvass among certain
young men and ask them to give their
services. It is the intention of the
town fathers to have two beds placed
in the meeting room of the fire house
SO that the men on duty may sleep
and in the morning leave for their
daily occupations. The beds are ex-
Ipected to arrive in a few days.

have all the earmarks of having been
copies verbatim from the Call, one
of the rankest sheets that ever dis
graced the United States mail. So
rank, indeed, and unpatriotic, that
our patient and long suffering presi-
dent had to cause it to be suppressed.
/ notice is was "whereased" at the
Vigorous Protest" at the courthouse
last night that at is a fact that the
said Ocklawaha Valley railroad has
refused several hundred carloads of
business to assist in the profits Of
said road" / submit that for pure,
unmitigated falsehood, this rather
outranks the Call. It has refused
some business offered under terms
that no railroad could accept.
! It was stated further that the EN-.
ployees had already received instruc-
tons to begin tearing up the side
tracks on the 18th of the month. This
statement cannot be dignifed by the
term falsehood. 1t is simply a bare
faced lie. No instructions have been
issued to begin tearing up sidings or
anything else on the 18th, or at any
other time. As a matter of fact, I
do not know that the rails will ever
be taken up. If they are, it is ten
shot to one that Uncle Sam will get
them at his own price for shipment to
France
In conclusion, may l not express
our appreciation of the Stars impair
tial stand in this matter, realizing as
it undoubtedly does that there are
two sides to the question, and that
lynching even corporation without
a hearing, is not fair play.

THE RAILROADS SIDE
OF THE STORY

Editor Star: May | not say word
apropos to the "stupendous outrage"
that is, we are told. about to be per
petrated by the Ocklawaha Valley
railroad.
This property was taken over by
the bondholders, April 18th, 1915,
since which time its operation has
earned deficit of more than 5000,
not to mention interest on the invest
ment. Since that date, the price of
material and supplies that go into the
maintenance and operation of a rail-
road has advanced from 800 to
4509 and the greater advances have
occurred since January 1st, 1917.
To be forced to continue operating
under these conditions means nothing
short of the confscation of our prop
erty.
Our socialist friend was quite right
in saying that at is true, no doubt,
that the railroad is not making much
money" which is about the only
truthful statement in his TRADE APP
pearing in the Banner of November
9Th.
eStupendous outrage" "We have
been robbed and betrayed by These
New York parasites +" "Dastardly out
rage" "Merciless injury" Heart

our oppressors" These expressions

he or she attains certain grade in

student to mark high in studies IN
order to be proficient in athletics. The
school board had better cut out some
of the unnecessary studies that add to
the work of the children and the ex-
pense of their parents. The whole
town takes a pride in the girls basket
ball team, and its work and success
adds to the esprit de corps" of the
school.

oCKLAWAHA VALLEY SHOULD
BE KEPT IN OPERATION

The Star sincerely hopes the peo-
pie of Ocala, Palatka and the towns
between evilI find means to block the
move to stop service on the Ockla-
waha Valley railroad.
The men owning the road have no
moral right, and we doubt that they
have legal right, to suspend its OPP
Grafton.
Hundreds of people living along
the line moved into that territory be-
cause the road was built thru it, and
the abolition of it's service would at
the least greatly inconvenience them.
1t would half ruin many and entirely
ruin some, and would be backset to
the entire section.
The Star would advise the commit
tee having the matter in charge to at
once take out an injunction against
suspension of service. Then let them
take the matter before the railroad
commission, and if necessary the
courts. These measures, we believe,
will keep the road in operation.
While they are about it, they
should ask the railroad commission
to order the road to put on practi-
cal schedule. The one in operation
now is of very little use, and that is
one reason why receipts are SO low.
People along the line use autos and
even buggies because the passenger
schedule of the road is entirely made
quate.
