ROWLAND DRY GOODS col
EAT LESS, IS
HOOvER'S PLEA
TO THE NATION

Washington. Oct. 27-sThe gov
eminent of the United States is ask
ing every citizen of the country to
eat less beef. pork, pork products,
wheat, butter and sugar and to waste
no foodstuffs, as an act of common
defense"
This is the explanation given today
by Herbert C. Hoover, food admins
traitor, for national food pledge week,
which begins tomorrow and continues
until Nov. 4.
lowing to the large failure Of the
harvest in France and italy, and
the inability to send the worlds ship
ping to remote markets" said Mr..
Hoover, I'VE have thrust upon US a
larger duty in providing foodstuffs for
them than we are capable of executing
unless we can reduce the consump-
ton of these foodstuffs in the United
States.
Furthermore. the problem of
ameliorating the prices to the Ameri-
can consumer is entirely involved in
our ability to supply the Allied needs
and still leave us a sufhciency at
home. If we accept the alternative
of maintaining the Allies in the war
from our supplies, without savings,
we shall have shortages in the United
States that make any hope of price
control absolutely futile"

AR0uSES ALLIES
TO ITALIAN Peril.
Field Marshal Won Mackensen at Head of at Least
10 German Divisions and Hundreds of Thous-
ands of Austrian Troops Hammering at Italian
Lines Magnificent Victory of Gen. Cadorna
at Great Sacrifice About to Be Nullifed at One
Blow.

London, Oct, 27-The Austro-Ger-
man blow on the Isonzo Is featured
by the morning newspapers, which
comment rather anxiously. News dis
patches disclose that Field Marshal
Won Mackensen is in command of the
enemy forces. A British correspond
emit on the Italian front in a tele-
gram under Wednesdays date says:
This is going to be one Of these
terrible crises when each side stakes
all on the throw and when thousands
Of men are strained to the limit of
exhaustion for decision whose eff
fects will reach far beyond the battle
field and modify the whole course Of
the war. Italy is about to meet sin
gle handed almost the entire Austrian
army and to bear alone the burdens
she hitherto has shared with the Rus
SLAMS. It is known that at least 10
German divisions are waiting behind
the enemy front and that the number
Of newly arrived Austrian divisions is
even greater"
Subsequent dispatches confirming
the violence OF Won Mackensen's on
slaught, taken with the Italian and
German official statements. cause
commentators here to treat the situa-
ton very seriously. The Times sees
the news from all other theatres
ec1ipsed and reads grave warnings in
the dispatches from the italian front.

IDENTIFY man
KILLED AT NIGHT
AS AUTO FL0PS

Norwich, Oct. Samuel B. Cas-
sidy, whose brother-in-law is Fred
T. Ley, contractor, of Springfield,
Mass, was the man found dead on
the highway in Franklin after an au-
tomobile accident last night. Identity
was established by papers on the per-
son and by communication with Mys-
tic, where MrsCassidy and child were,
and with Springfield. Mr.. Ley came
here to claim the body.
The cause Of the accident Is a mys-
terry, but the supposition is that Cas-
sidy's machine was overturned and
not struck by another vehicle. State
Policeman Bridgman found the body
a few feet from the overturned and
damaged machine. One side of the
machine, which was headed toward
Wiliimantic, looked as If it had been
struck, yet the officer had seen no
machine pass him nor could ne learn
that any had gone toward williman-
tic. Cassidy was on his way to Mys-
tic with some household effects, he
having taken a position in the ship
building industry there. He had a
war service badge from the United
States ship building department.
Both the medical examiner in
Franklin and Coroner Brown, after
inquiry, were unable today to deter
mine by what means. other than
skidding, the automobile was over
turned.

JUDGE BARTLETT
ORDERS VIRAACS'
LICENSE HELD UP

Attorney Abe Geduldig made the
contention in the city court today
that an appeal from a conviction acts
as a stay of suspension of licence in
automobile cases, but his contention
was not upheld by Judge Bartlett.
Geduldig appeared for Frank viraag
of Fairfield, charged with operating
an automobile while under the infiu-
ence of liquor
Judge Bartlett found him guilty, i'm
posed a fine OF $50 and costs. and
GeduDdfg announced an appeal vi
raag sought the return Of his license
pending the decision of the appeal.
but 1t was refused by the traffic de-
partment.
Judge Bartlett decided the license
should not be returned until an inter-
probation of the law was received
from r. B. Stocked, motor vehicle
commissioner.
Under the state law conviction for
driving while intoxicated automati-
cally suspends the license for a year,
but Geduldig commended his client,
having appealed, is innocent until
jury has passed upon the case.

it says, ''are of a character that the
Allies must instantly take into &C
count. An extensive invasion of Italy
at this juncture would affect the
whole Allied cause. In that spirit
measures must be taken should the
necessity arise
The Morning Post says the situation
evidently is critical and that the Bri-
fish nation must realize that fresh eff
forts and fresh sacrifices are neces-
,sary. The Daily News thinks that all
the gains made in Italy's summer
campaign are in Jeopardy and fears
that it is an evil omen that the per-
tod Of military tension comedies with
the political crisis in Italy.
On the other hand, the Times thinks
that the menace of invasion has
strengthened the parties in Italy who
criticised the Boselli government for
lack of vigor in conducting the war
and that the Austro- German on
slaught will have an effect in Italy
contrary to that expected by the en-
envy.
Confidence also is expressed here in
Gen. Cadorna and in the italian army
while it is hoped that Gen. Petain's
successes on the Aisne and the pres
sure in Flanders will balance mat
tiers.
The Germans must still be strong
says the Post, ''ff they can deliver q
great assault on the Isonzo and at the
same time rest securely in Flanders
