SPAIN PROTESTS
 GERMAN U-b0AT.
 ATTACK ON SHIP

Madrid, April 28.-Premier Prieto has announced that he has received official confirmation of an attack by German submarine on the Spanish steamer Triana and has addressed a trong protest to Germany.
 Details of the incident show that a. few minutes after shell had been fired at the Triana the commander of the submarine boarded the ship and offered excuses, insisting that he only fired after the steamer had ignored a blank shot. The campain of the Tri- ana, in sworn statement before the Cadiz port authorities, affirms that neither he nor his crew heard any shot until the ship was struck by a shell. The Triana was going at re- duced speed at the time, he says, and the Spanish colors were flying con- spicuously.
 Ell Imparcial comments indignantly on the attack, occurring as it did at a moment when negotiations were pro- ceeding between Spain and Ger many on the subject of similar ag- gressions. The Triana is small ves- sel of 745 tons, exclusively engaged in the coasting trade. She was bound from Gijon to Cadiz when attacked.

Yale Boys Brighten
 Elm City With Bomb

New Haven, April 28.-Although these are serious times the New Ha- ven police presume that the Yale un- dergraduates will have their little joke, which is usually brought out in the spring time.
 An old satchel in which there was a clock arrangement attached to what looked suspiciously like bomb and placed where the night patrolman would certainly stumble over it, which he did, was the form of the 1917 joke. The satchel was in the door way of store near the Yale gymna- sium.
 The police were called out to search for the miscreant who left the satch- ell, and the clock arrangement was securely placed in a police station safe. Experts took look at the affair this noon. The clock had seen better days and the supposed bomb was an old cartridge case. The police gave a sigh of relief and the anxious peo- pie who besieged police headquarters by telephone had a hearty laugh.

Berea, Ky, April 2S-Berea Col lege, with its 1,600 students from the mountains of the Southern States, has been transformed into miniature military training camp.

FEAR OF LABOR
 TROUBLE MAY 1
 GRIPS GERMANY

Copenhagen, April 2S-The pros- out Germany on May day over- shadows everything else in the Ger man press. Gen. Groener's address to the Reichstag committee, the mani festo of the Federation of Labor against strikes, and editorial appeals to the same purport predominate in the newspapers, the news of the great battle of Arras and the general mili- tary situation being very much sub- ordinated.
 Where there is so much smoke there evidently must be some fire. The manifesto of the metal workers union, the organization that took the leading part in the previous strike, is Worded in a dubious manner. While ostensibly directed against strike agi- tators, it gives the impression of be- Ing very half-hearted document The manifesto argues that a general strike IS unnecessary because stoppage or work. in the iron works, munition plants and transportation systems would be sufficient to immeasurably increase the difficulties of the situa- ton. It adds that the decision to strike can, according to the consti- tution of the union, only be taken by the executive after efforts at an ami cable solution have failed.
 One of the methods by which the asltators are apparently working is the spread of rumOrs of a further inn pending reduction of rations. The Berlin city authorities have appealed to the public to report persons spreading these rumors

Real Estate Company
 To Plow Gardens Free

Robins Company Qnc.), owners of the Savoy Gardens and the Riverchft Developments in this city and Mil- ford, have announced that they will blow free of charge all gardens or lots purchased from them and are p1an- ming the entire cultivation of remain ing properties in their possession.
 This announcement has special sig ni6eance today from the fact that the Savoy Gardens formerly was one of tho most productive truck farms in the community, recently owned by the Aldo Brothers, while RivercIffe with its hundreds of acres until a year ago was under intense cultivation for farm purposes
 It is estimated that with judicious cultivation the two properties may be made to yield large returns for the corporate and individual owners. T'ha company has employed several expert plOwmen and also have under option a large tractor for the purpose.
 In the offices of the company at the F1Est-Bridgeport Bank building en- thusiasm reigns, nearly every sales man and clerk having volunteered to plant and care for q plot of the ground
 E c. Rattin, general manager of the company and a reserve officer in the commissary department of the United States, is reported as stating that Bridgeport will do a large share in the food conservation and resource mobilization of this section.

 Quit Study for War

London, April 28.-Dr. George Par kin, organizing representative of the Rhodes scholarship trust, said today that Americans holding Rhodes schol- arshfps would be able to perform mill itary service without interference with their status.

Holland Neutral But Suffers From
 Ruthless Attacks

The Hague, Netherlands. April 28. Nearly all Holland has been put on a system of government rations be- cause of the virtual stopping of grain imports from America as result of the ruthless submarine warfare and the poor crops of potatoes and other vegetables. The Entente allies had long since put in use a system of ra- tionipg the Hollanders in the mat ter of grain imports but now the halt in the movement of all shipping has caused a virtual cessation of all inn ports.
 A breadcard system had been in ef- feet since February. Under the new plan, potato and rye flour is mixed with American flour effecting an economy of more than 50 per cent. in the consumption of wheat. Owing to shortage of the stocks of potatoes, the allowance has been reduced and potato-less days have been establish ed. The monthly ration cf peas and beans to each person amounts to a little more than one pound.
 The other prime necessities of life that are under direct government control are being distributed to each community according to the number or its inhabitants, the local authori- ties then dividing the supplies among the individuals.
 Holland is beginning to follow the example of Germany in establishing central kitchens. The principal one thus far put into operation is at Rot terdam. It provides about a quart of warm food for sum equal to four American cents. When prepared the food is rapidly transported to seven teen parts of the city where distri- button is made.
 Food and hunger demonstrations occur occasionally. In these Social ists are active in bringing the needs of the people to the attention of the government officials,

Germany Will Pay
 For Ships Seized

Copenhagen, April 2S-The Berlin correspondent of the Leipsig Tage- blatt says that, since the loss of the great part of Germany's mercantile marine now in American ports is as- sured, the German government and the shipping companies have reached an agreement for the payment of full compensation for the confiscated ships. The government originally proposed merely a loan to help in re- building. A bill is now being draft ed and the chief point in dispute is whether compensation shall be made at the present cost of building or at the book value of the ships.
