 DECLARES: FOE
 IS WEAKENING

London, Dec. 21-A1though Allied hopes had not been realized because of the Russian collapse, Premier Lloyd-George told the house of com mons yesterday that the Germans had not been able to quite hold their own in the west. He declared 1t was idle to pretend that the hopes formed at the beginning of the year in regard to the military situation had been realized. Had the Russian army continued to collaborate with the AL should have been able to bring such pressure on the Prussian army as to inf1ict a decisive defeat on them," he said.
 While the campaign in France had not realized the expectations formed, there had been military successes which he ventured to say would have a permanent effect on the future of the world. He said he referred to the capture of Bagdad and Jerusalem. He added:
 These two great events added more to the prestige of Great Britain throughout the world than any event iii the whole course of the war. A good deal has been said about side sbows,' but Great Britain owes a good deal to these"

FEW BRIDGEPORT
 SOLDIERS COMING

Approximately 200 members of the National army in barracks at Camp Devens, will be given leave to come home to Bridgeport for their Christ mas dinners under the most recent ruling of the War Department which allows discretion to the division com mander The order provides that only such number as will net unduly hamper hailroad transportation may be given leave over the holiday, In selecting these men it is probable that those who threatened to make, a row if they were not given leave will find that the conduct has debarred them from the privilege of eating turkey a ttheir homes,
 It is planned to have an immense Christmas tree at the camp, which will be lighted Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Everything possible to make the Christmas of the men obliged to stay in camp as pleas ant as possible win be done.

 "A very important sitting of the peasant congress was held today. Premier Lenine in person addressed the congress and in a, lengthy speech defended the attitude of the Bolshe- wiki toward the constituent assembly. He justified the arrest of the members of the assembly and said the labor council ought to be considered the highest authority.
 Notwithstanding Lenine's presence the congress passed a resolution pro- testing against the policy of the Bol- sheviki with vote of a6e to s21.' <

Hartford. Dec. 21.-In pursuance of it's policy of preventing the further diversion of men, money and mater ials to enterprises or industries mot essential to the prosecution of the war or the furnishing of the necessar- ies of life or the maintenance Of pub- lie interests" as set forth in resolu- tion adopted on December 12, the Connecticut State Council of Defense is sending out letters to all the tobac- co growers of Connecticut or of other states which have plantations in Con- necticut directing any growers who contemplate increasing their tobacco acreage in 1918 that they may apply to the Council at once for hearing in regard to the enforcement Of the Counrils policy. With the letters are being sent, copies of the resolu- ton of the Council.
 The Council recently sent out letters to the tobacco growers inquir1ng as to their acreage plans for the 1918 season, and the replies received indt- cate an increase in acreage which 1t is estimated would require the labor of large number of additional men during the harvest season,
 The letter to the growers follows:
 "Thefe is enclosed herewith a copy of the resolution adopted December If. .1s17, by the Connecticut State Ceun- Gil of Defense setting forth the posi- tien of the Council as to "non- essen tiar' production.
 ''It is the purpose of the Council to enforce the policy set forth in the resolution. The Council, however, will not oppose the prosecution of any par tieu1ar business activity without giv- ing to those immediately affected a reasonable opportunity to be heard.
 Any persons or corporations con- temp1ating direct or indirect increase in 1918 in the production of cigar leaf tobacco, whether of primed Havana seed, broad leaf, Havana seed, OF of shade grown tobacco, who desire to be heard on the question of such in- crease, will communicate at once with the State Council of Defense at the State Capitol, Hartford, Conn"
