Because of the fact that there are already more units in the Home Guard than was provided for by the state when the idea was started, number of the companies will have to be put in reserve without arms, uniforms or equipment. Among the companies that will be put in reserve is the local :. unit which has now increased its strength to over eighty men. The first report of the military emergency board was made to the governor yes- terday and tells of the strength of the guard and also a report of the his tory of it's formation with the work of the board since March g.. Original 7plans called for the first line of 5000 smen to have regular military equip ment, consisting of rifles. ponchos. etc, but it has been found that the guard already contains more than 5000, so either some will be without equipment or further provisions will have to be made.

BETTER HEALTH RULES

By the first of next July there will
 be a new and more uniform code of
 rules adopted all over the state for
 the regulation of health of the com [ monwealth. The preliminary steps
 were taken yesterday at the meeting of the health officers of New Haven and Litchfie1d and Fairfield counties
 at the Atlantic hotel There were fully 65 health officials present
 among whom were Secretary Linds-
 ley of the State Board of Health; pr.
 Wordin, of Bridgeport; Dr. Goodwin of Thomaston, also member of the
 state board. The rules established by the two health officers and which are at pres-
 ent in vogue are somewhat conflicting
 and by recent acts ofthe legislature are deemed unnecessary. It was for the purpose of discussing the advisa,- bility of revising them and taking the first step towards more uniform system that the meeting was held yes- terday Some of the rules which are in force at present are provided for by statutes while others are not, and will be, allowed to stand with some slight improvements.
 Many suggestions were offered by the various health officials present and the object of the gathering was
 we'll under way when the meeting ad- journed. <. The present rules will re- 1 main in force in the various towns throughout the state until first of July. The committee. appointed to take the matter in charge consists of
 one doctor from each county and the county health officers who are to meet soon with the state board of health.

THE SUFFERING SOUTH

The accounts which reach us of the suffering of the southern people in consequence of scarcity of food are truly heartrending. Scarcely a day passes without bringing fresh details of actual want and starvation. The Southern papers are filled with com munications depicting scenes of mis- cry and appealing to the charitable, no matter who they may be, nor where they may live to do something, and that right speedily, to succor the distressed and suffering thousands in their midst. United States Army of ficers, governors of states, ministers of the gospel, school teachers, travel lers and business men generally, who have had opportunity of knowing whereof they speak unite in the dec- laration that the famine is not only widespread but absolutely soul sick sening in it's severity. From Newburn to New Orleans and from St. Angus tine to Nashville, Tenn, except, it may be, in some favored places such as a few of the large cities, a con- stant, wailing cry for food is heard. In some parts of Georgia and North Carolina, thousands have no tasted a mouthfuI of meat for months, barely existing-not living-on scanty sup plies of cornmeal. Even that has giv- en out now, and unless the people of the North listen to their appeals for help a slow, lingering death by starvation is their portion. A good deal has already been done by the North but more must be done before we can say or feel that we have done our duty. Besides, we know how soon even we. blessed as we now are with plenty, may be called upon to go through the same or even greater trial. The destitute of other lands even to the heather of "Bar-ra-boo- Ia-g11a', are all, doubtless worthy of sympathy and deserving of assistance. but we submit that our first duty is to the wretched starving poor at home.

SAUERKRAUT CAUSES GERMANS TO ASSAIL
 WAR ON GOVERNMENT

Munich, April PA serious con- fict over sauerkraut has broken out between the Bavarian government and the Imperial Food Commission in Der lin. The matter led to excited debates in the lower houses of the Bavariar Parliament. Several deputies hotly charged the Imperial governmen, with theft, and the Prime Minister Count pr. von Hertling, and the Minister of the Interior were instruct ed to send a protest with teeth in it' to Imperial Chancellor von Bethmann- Hollweg.
 Last December, when 1t became ev- 1dent that the potato supply was in sufficient, the municipal food com. mission of Munich decided to pro- hibit the export of sauerkrant. Ir February the commission learned that the central commission in Berlin had ordered the conf1scation of about $50 tons of sauerkraut in factories and wholesale houses of the Bavarian cap- itol.
 The municipal authorities and the Bavarian government at once in- structed the manufacturers and deal CTS not to ship their confiscated stocks but this request was ignored, as the Berlin commission was paying much more than the maximum price fixed for Munich. An order to the rail roads not to transport the confiscated sauerkraut came too late The rav- ished sauerkraut was already across hungry Berlin.
 IT4k k11N were exchanged between Munich and Berlin and the Imperial Commission finally announced that no more of the precious sauerkraut would be con- fiscated in Munich or any other part of Bavaria.
 In the meantime manufacturers and dealers demanded that the maximum sauerkraut price for Munich be in. creased to the level of that paid by the Berlin commission. When this demand was, rejected the dealers re. ! fused to sell their stock.
 When the matter was brought UT in the Diet the Minister of the Interior reported he had requested the Centra, Commission in Berlin to either return or replace the pilfered sauerkraut Several of the deputies attacked the Berlin government savagely. Th< Socialist leader. E. Schmidt, said:
 ''The Imperial government solemnly promised not to interfere with oul food regulations and not to take away our supplies, and now it has stolen al most our entire stock of sauerkraut How can we trust the dictators ir Berlin any longer? Their action is the greatest scandal of the war. Sucr anarchy cannot be tolerated. While we have to go without sauerkraut our stolen supplies have been offered b, the Imperial Commission to other Ba varian communities which did no want them at all That proves tn, utter demoralization of the whol. system of food distribution"

EIGHT YEARS OF
 THE NEW TURKS

It was eight years ago today, on April 27, 1909, that the National As sembly of Turkey, in. secret session, voted unanimously to depose Abdul Hamid IT,, and to place upon the Ot- toman throne his younger brother, Mohammed Reshad Effendi with the title of Mohammed V. The triumph of the Young Turk party, instead of initiating a new era of progress and prosperity, has in eige1t years cost the Ottoman Empire a great portion of her territory, and now threatens
 the nation with almost complete ex- tinction. First came the Turko-Ital- ian war, which lost Tripoli to Tur- key. Then the Balkan war deprived Turkey of the greater part of her Flu ropean territory. The decision of Enver Pasha to enter the present war on the side of the Central Powers has reduced the nation to the position of a German vassal. Mesopotamia has been successfully invaded by the Bri- tish and Russians, the Turkish clutch on Armenia is threatened, Arabia has thrown off the Ottoman yoke and set up an independent kingdom, and Teuton exactions have so reduced the Turkish food supply that large part of the population is threatened with starvation. While New Russia may not demand Constantinople as prize of war, it is certain that the Turk will no longer be permitted to reign supreme over the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles. In turning their coun- try over to German domination, the Young Turks acted with greater dis regard for the popular will than ever Abdul Han1id had done. In his alle- glance to Germny, EIAver Pasha was bitterly opposed by a large and in- fluential party, headed by Youssouff Izzedin, the heir apparent to the throne. The latter favored the En- tente Allies, and was charged with treason by Enver, who forced him to commit suicide. In 8 letter to Tur- kish senator, written shortly before his tragic death, Youssouff Izzedin declared that the Germans "are stealing our country from our hands in broad daylight and called down curses upon those "who for gold in- vited the cruel strangers into our m1dst-those strangers who have sac rificed hundreds of thousands of our Moslem subjects and victimized more i than million of our innocent Chris tian subjects

SITUATION IN BERMUDA

It is reported in Bermuda that the British government is determined to listen to no further terms of accom- nodation with America but intends 1o prosecute the war with vigor ana severity. Admiral Cochrane was to take command of the Bermuda and Halifax stations; and was to sail shortly from that place with a large force, twelve or fourteen sail of the line and about Q. hundred marines un- der Major Nichols-a strong body or riflemen and battering artillery, ehrapnel shells with the necessary ammunition to give effect to these engines of destruction. It is stated that Admiral C.. asserted in Bermuda, s'That in the ensuing summer the Yankees will be made to feel what it was to be at war with England some ports will be bombarded in the spring." About. five hundred Ameri- cans are at Bermuda in a distressed situation and it was expected they would be sent to England.

|FAIRFIELDERS TO DISCUSS TROLLEY
 SERVICE SUNDAY
Meeting Will Be Held In Southport to Prepare for
 Hearing In Hartford
Especial to, The Farmer.)

Fairfield, April 27-A hearing on the petition of the people of Fairfield for better trolley service will be held in Hartford before the public utilities commission next, Thursday, May 8.
 In order that this hearing may be prepared for, meeting of all inter ested citizens has been called for the truckhouse in Southport next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
 It is likely a delegation vii be sent from Fairfield and Southport to ap- pear in favor of the petition and to urge double tracking, or any other method that will speed up the trolley service between Bridgeport and the suburbs to the west of the city, and eliminate the waits at the switches.
 Great interest has been taken in this matter this year, because of the fact that Fairfield is growing and greater numbers than ever patronize the trolley cars. These people have been inconvenienced by the long waits, the slow progress of the cars, and the fact that seats most of the ray, are SO much in demand that they are prized highly.

MEN WHO CAN'T REASON ARE STILL ON HAND
TRYING TO CRIPPLE U.S. SAYS RUSSELL

Tx ING 10 CklPPLl
BY CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL
Washington, April 23.-There are
two orders of mind in this world
those that can put two and two to-
gether and those that can't. Born
that way, no doubt
The principle business Of those
that can't is to sit around and de-
nounce those that can-denounCe
them and block them and spoil any
plans they may make for the COM
mon good.
For some years before the Euro
pean cyclone broke, all men who had
any power Of vision saw it gathering
and knew that safety required this
country to put its house Of defense
in some order.
These, were denounced as tools of
the photographers.
: Such men said that the volunteer
system was worn out and anti
quated and if this country wanted to
be able to take care of itself it must
have a citizen army.
They were denounced as "militar-
lists" and advocates of the dread
spectre of a huge standing army"
In April 1913, when Germany
adopted her extraordinary war credit
of S25O,OOO,OOO, all men with any
power of vision knew that war was
but a question of months.
Such men were attacked as
dreamers and Iunatics. The peace Of
Europe was eternally fixed. There |
was the Socialist party of Germany,
which would always prevent war, and
there was the kaiser, that wonder
fully serene influence. Didn't he say
that he was in favor of peace, and if
he had any intention to attack Eu-
rope wouldn't he say so to every
body?
The moment the war broke all men |
