AUSTRIAN SHIPS
 SEIZED TO STOP
 FURTHER INJURY
Government Explains Tax. ing Over of Four
 teen Vessels.

Washington, April -11.-Fourteen Austrian merchant vessels in Ameri- can ports have been taken over by tho government
 In a formal announcement the Sec retary of the Treasury, William C.. McAdoo, made it clear that the gov ernment had not confiscated the ves- sells, but had acted for the purpose of protecting them from further in jury.'' From this statement it is in- ferred that the ships were damaged by their crews, as in the case of the German vessels taken oTer-
 The formal statement reads as fol- 1Ows:-
 For the purpose of protecting the vessels from further injury, and until a decision 'cansbe req ched as to their proper. disposition, customs guards have been placed on board all Aus trian merchant vessels anchored in ports of the United States. The offi- cers and crews have been taken into custody by the Department of Labor, pending determination of their stat us"
 The vessels thus taken into the gov ernment's, keeping, were all at Allan tic or Gulf ports, as follows:-
 At New York the Dora, Mimalaia, Ida and Martha Washington, at Bos> ton the Army, at Philadelphia the Franconio, at Newport News the Bu- dapest, at Pensacola the Lucia, at Tampa the Borneo, at New Orleans the Anna, Clara and Teresa, and at Galveston the Campania, and Mora wttz.

CARELESSNESS CAUSESL0SS0F
 BILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVERY
 YEAR IN THE UNITED STATES
Remin ston and U M. c. Foremen Hear Manufacturer
 Talk on Tremendous Waste of Man power and Prop erty in America.

one realizes that the total savings of wage earners in all the savings banks ! in the country is agout $5,00O, 1000, l it seems to be entirely out of propor- l tion that these depositors should lose 1 one-ffth of that amount every year | through lack of thrift and personal 1 care.
 "A large proportion of these losses 1 is preventable, easily fifty per cent, and the prevention methods that are most successful to the care of the in- dividual and the cooperation of all in- l dividuals are a common aim.
 Industrial accidents have killed l more people in the United States than all of our wars combined. The cost l of maintaining insurance companies and accident prevention departments of State and private organizations, is purposely omitted in the foregoing since they are preventive and cura- tive systems and therefore chargeable to the subject in estimating the total cost, but since their activities doubt l less pay for themselves in preventing the figures from amounting to higher l limits, I am therefore taking the loss es they do not stop and which are in
 
 uals.
 "AIl told, the two items, accidents and fires, probably add two billion dollars 8 year to our cost of living, per capita burden of $2O, on every ! man, woman and child. 'tUpon those who stock their fin- | gers in moving machinery, who in f1ict painful cuts with sharp tools, who pull down heavy weights upon them selves, it is thankless task to impose lessons of carefulness. Yet personal caution is the all important factor in the whole safety movement. The golden rule in accident prevention is- 'It is better to be safe than sorry"
 ''There is no better application of the adage leading a horse to water than in the employment of safety de- vices. It is possible to forSe all kinds of safety devices into position, but unless the man who has to use them accepts them in a friendly spirit they are practically useless. Industrial safety depends on no one man or class of men. Without cordial cooperation on the part of al1 from the newest helper tos-the head of the works, the elimination of use- less loss in life and limb, in suffering and hardship, is impossible. Wher- ever there is machinery there is dan ger that no amount of mechanical de- vices will remove. There is no safe ty appliances, that can take the place of the human brain. Each man must do his own thinking, must discipline himself to safety and train himself to be careful.
 "No amount of money can out weigh the value of a single life. It is important, however, to bear in mind the fact that industrial accidents inn pose a. financial burden upon the na- ton which affects the living conditions of all.

ish instead: The drivers said that when they left Douai there was no idea that the attackers had reached so far.
 Thousands of German prisoners could be seen along the roads to- day. Some had little round caps and others were wearing the great coal scuttle steel helmets. Although the intense cold continues, only few had overcoats. They are a docile lot and somewhat surprised their captors by carefully sorting themselves into their respective units before being register ed and temporarily caged. Smaller cages were provided for the officers. Four of the latter have been in a furious rage ever since they were talk en. They were in a forward observa- tion post, they said, and saw the in- fantry coming back from their front line, but had no idea that they were actually retreating. Their anger was due to the failure of these troops to give them warning so that they could flee.

1 Frederic w. Keough of New York, representing the National Association of Manufacturers, at a safety meet 1 ing of the Foremen's club of the Rem l-ington Arms-Union Metallic Cartridge l ICo, last evening, discussed the chang ing conditions of industry and empha- sized the importance of thorough CO., operation between employers and en- ployes, with special reference to ac- cident prevention. He dwelt on the value of individual carefulness, stat ing that the most complete safeguard ing of all machinery and all danger ous places in the shop would prevent only a small proportion. of industrial injuries. In part he said:
 While in fire insurance, out of fif- ty policies only. one produces a claim, in accident insurance a claim is found from every eight policies. It would be interesting if we could compare the relative saccident cases in the United States with those of foreign countries, but our records are defective. Acci- dent prevention with us is a compar- atively new subject, but while a few years ago a small room would hold the persons actually engaged in the promotioR-of the movement, we now have safety congresses with several hundred. delegates in attendance from all parts of the country.
 'In those days of world conflict there are pr esented to us staggering figures of the losses in battles, of the destruction of property, of the cost of maintaining armies. We read of hundreds of thousands of men killed and wounded, of the million, even bil- lions of dollars that the European War will cost. We look at the cas- ualties of peace;> at the economic loss we hear of from year to year, with an equanimity that is as astounding as it is unexplainable. =
 'The astounding effect of accidents and fires in the United States on the cost of living may be indicated by the fact that in the United States alone the cost of our accidents is $45O,0O0,- 900 annually. This loss is made up of approximately 1000 fatal accidents of $5,000 each and approximately 150,- 100000 days lost. at s2 each, which loss represents an economic loss to so- ciety. Add to this fire loss of ap- proximately $25o,00o,OOo on the data collected from actual experience, and add to these losses an administration cost of $15O,00O,000, which is very conservative, and we have a total of almost billion dollars destroyed an- nually by carelessness and lack of thrift. A large proportion of these losses is borne by the wage earners who number approximately 30,000,00O in the United States.
 "The figures quoted above made no account of the personal anguish and the physical pain which accompanies all disasters of this nature; if money value could be placed on these feat ures, the wasted property and lives would support an army ten times lar ger than the one we now have. When

the union which has 5000 members In Bridgeport were called frequently and were necessary to carry on the work of the organization. He said the ordinance would interfere with these meetings and work hard ship. N
 He urged the council to consider the action of President Wilson con- ferring with Samuel Gompers, presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor and so procuring the co-opera- tion of organized labor. He urged that a public hearing be held on the ordinance.
 President John J. Ryan, of Local N 30, Machinists' union, also asked reconsideration of the ordinance in order that organized labor might have fair chance. Alderman/W Whit ney, chairman of the ordinance com mittee, had asked that the privilege of the floor be granted the labor leaders Aldercan Finklestone, a member of the ordinance committee, said the or dinance was not intended to hamper the labor movement or its organiza- tionS.

ANCIENTS HAD SOME MYSTERIES OF THEIR OWN WHEN IT CAME TO
 NAVAL BATTLES AND CLOSE FIGHTS

an article in the Engineer, is that Cal linicus is said to have discharged a burning mass which continued to burn under water, from a tube mounted on the prov of his ship, and that one man was sufficient to attend to this tube. Thus Gal1inicus would be the inventor of both gunpowder and the cannon. That nitre was one of the constituents was suggested by Berthe- lot, among others, but this had been questioned because nitre was not sup posed to have been known in the early middle ages, though Plinius had de- scribed the efflorescence of damp walls (calcium nitrate). The com position of the Greek fire, which prob ably varied in the course of time, was kept secret by the Greeks, but it was not altogether unknown later to the Saracens.
 Modern chemistry of course, knows phosphorous and some of it's com pounds, in metallic potassium, etc bodies which will catch fire spontan- eously when exposed to the air or in contect with water.

Uoecaal to The Farmer.)

Hartford, April 11-Seeing in the bill to create the office of public de- fender for each of the superior crim- ina1 courts of the state, a move, to >create many high salaried offices for the faithful, and estimating that the passage of the bill would entail upon the state an annual expense, in addl- , ton to the already large budgets pro- vided for the criminal courts, of at least S40,O00 a year, John C. Geary, judge of the Waterford town court and Democratic leader. of the House, vigorously opposed the passage of the measure creating the public defend CTS. The measure was finally passed in the House, on concurrence with the Senate, by vote of S9 to 56-
 This measure calls upon the judge of the superior court to name, at least 80 days before the opening of the cOxsts criminal session, to name an experienced lawyer to be defender for all such persons as have no couI- sel for their defense 1t would sup plant the present system of assigning a lawyer to each case
 Itawas argued by opponents of the bill, of whom Judge Geary was the chief spokesman, that the measure would not improve present conditions, would saddle great expense upon the state, and, might tend to give the of lenders less satisfactory defense than at present

the Somme. Many dugouts remain ed with only damaged portals but the trenches, including all communication lines, have been unmercifully batter ed. So successful was the artillery bar rier set up by the British back of the German lines that some of the Ger man prisoners reported that they had been without food supplies for four days.
 The barbed wire~entanglements pro- tecting the German positions were ob- liberated and only stray strands could be seen here and there on the first line. The thoroughnessl with which the wire cutting was carried on by the artillery was a, big factor in accel- erating the speed of the infantry in the attack.
 The zest of offensive warfare could be felt in all parts of the British front today. Troops were swinging for ward with bands playing gay tunes.
