]. Y. CAL DWELL
 TO GET JOB OF
 LIEN EXAMINER
Senator From 23rd District Expected to Succeed Late
 James F. Kelly.

John Y. Caldwell of 1sS Sixth street, senator from the 23rd Senatorial dis trict, probably will succeed to the po- sttion of examiner of liens, made va cant by the death of James P. Kelly.
 Caldwell is one of half dozen who are after the job, but indications to- day were that the young man has outstripped the others in the race.
 The job of examiner of liens was created for Arthur Connor., when the latter was clerk on the motor vehicle department at Hartford. When the position of tax commissioner for Bridgeport was created Connor took this job, and Kelly, then assistant city clerk, was made lien examiner. The position pays $3,000 year, .$2,- 200 for the lien work and $500 for the c1erkship of the board of appraisal of benefits and damages, which. goes with it.
 Caldwell is an active Republican worker, in the Twelfth district. His first political position was as alderman from that district At this session of the General Assembly he represented the 23rd Senatorial district. He was chairman of the committee on tunf1n. ished business and member of ths committee On state parks and reserva. tions. He is 32 years old, and now employed as a foreman in the U. M. C.. Co.

Only Empty Words" Is
 Germany's Ridicule of
 British Premier's Speech


 Amsterdam, May 2S-The speech of Premier Lloyd-George last week, in which he said German submarines were being combatted successfully and that England could not be starved by the submarine campaign, is char acterized as "only empty worlds in a semi-official German reply.
 Facts are lacking says the reply, 'because our navy has found little trace of the new methods whereby, according to the views of the enemy, the submarine danger can be met Hitherto all enemy experts have agreed that with the present means they are powerless against the seri- ous dangers occasioned by submar- ines. A change in technical meth ods cannot be achieved in a fortnight We calmly await Lloyd Georges pre- diction as to the future
