HUSTLING TO CAPTURE RED CROSS PRIZE OF
 $500 FOR FIRST TEAM

the territory covered by the chap ter.
 One point to be counted for each per cent by which the total enroll ment exceeds the quota assigned to the chapter from division headquar- ters.
 Thus, if a chapter located in g. town of 10000 inhabitants had 5000 Red Cross members on it's books at the end of the campaign (Dec. 25), it would be entitled to 50 points, having enrolled 50 per cent. of the avail able population.
 If the same chapters quota had been set at 2,500 it would be entitled to 100 points on the quota basis, hav- ing exceeded its quota by 100 per cent Its standing in the contest would then be 150 points.
 Brfdgeport's chance of capturing this prize is considered good, because Bridgeport Is getting a flying start in the. campaign and the 1,500 workers town seems to understand the Red Cross, to appreciate what it is for, and to be anxious to join as a patriotic duty.
 As an indication of this spirit, the remarkable enrolment in the Lincoln building, 6o62 Cannon street, was re- ported at Red Cross headquarters to- day through E. F. von Wettberg. chairman of the Marcantile Division

REFUSE TO KEEP FOOD
 PROMISES

Violation of food pledges signed by many proprietors and hotel keepers in this city is charged by the State Food Administrator shortly after the an- nouncement of the appointment of D. Fairchild Wheeler of this city as Deputy United States Food Admins. trator to act in Fairfield county.
 The charges made by the food ad- ministrator are to the effect that the restaurants and hotels in this city with few exceptions do not observe 'Meatless Thursdays" "Wheatless Wednesdays" or any of the other provisions of the pledges signed by the proprietors and on file at the office of the food administrator in Hartford.
 It is further c.srrged that in most cases in this city little or no effort is being made to conserve food and the waste and extravagance in view of present conditions is appalling.
 It will be the duty of Wheeler to follow up complaints received by the food administration and try to or ganize in this city and vicinity a systematic campaign for the conser- yation of food stuffs According to the State Food Administration the lack of food conservation on the part of people of this city might in time of stress reflect on the chances of re- lief for the people of Bridgeport. ..

DUST GENERAL SARRAIL FROM
 SALONIKI POST

London, Dec. 19 - Gen. Sarrail, commander of the Allied armies in Saloniki, has been recalled, according to the. newspaper announcement ln Athens, says a Reuter- dispatch from Athens under date of Dec. 15. The successor of Gen. Sarrail in command of the Macedonian forces, it is said, will be Gen. Guillemet.
 Gen. M. P. D. Sarrail has been iden- tified with the Allied operations based on Saloniki since October, 1915, when he was sent to command the French expeditionary force en- gagged in an attempt to succor the Serbians during the Teutonic-Bul- garian drive that resulted in the over running of Serbia.
 When Saloniki was turned into an Allied base and active operations on the Macedonian front began by the Entente forces the next year Gen. Sarrail directed the united operations of the Allies and has since remained in command on this front
 Gen. Sarrail's chief services prior to going to Saloniki were performed during the battle of the Marne, when he held the German CrowrAsPrince's army in the Argonne and prevented Dardanelles, where he commanded the French expeditionary force after Gen. Gouraud was wounded there and subsequently, relieved in August, 1915.

 OF JURY ENDS
 IN CONVICTION

After deliberations lasting from 2:50 yesterday afternoon until 9:SO this morning. the jury in the case of Will liam Roberts, accused of murder in the first degree for the killing of his wife in Stratford July last, reported a verdict of guilty in the second de- gree when court convened this morn ing. Judge Gardiner Greene accepted the verdict, and imposed sentence of imprisonment tor life.
 | Judge Greene in accepting the ver- dict said he was convinced from the evidence that a verdict of first de- gree murder was warranted, but that the determination of that matter was left with the jury. He then imposed the sentence,
 Roberts was placed on trial 8 week ago, and evidence was introduced to show that he had cut his wife's throat in most brutal manner. The defense was that his mind at the time of the killing was a blank, and he remem- bered none of the circumstances.
 States Attorney Cummings said he regretted the jury had been unable to agree upon first degree verdict, but moved that the verdict returned be accepted.
 Arguments in the case were con- c1uded Friday afternoon, and the judge delivered his charge at the oonvening of court yesterday. The jurymen filed into their room at 3!5o. At 1:38 last night they reported they had not agreed, and they were locked up for the night, reporting at s:30 this morning.

Fuchs Is
 Jailed For
 6 Months
In View of the Physical Condition of the Prom
 inent Stamford De- fendant Court Deals Gently With Alleged EnbeZZler.

Pleading guilty on two counts of embezzlement of waste bronze amounting to S3,5OO each, Maximilian j.. Fuchs of Stamford was sen fenced to serve six months in jail on each count, and pay a fine of $5e0 on each count. His physical condition was advanc- ed as a reason why the court should show leniency.
 Fuchs was general manager of the Baer Brothers bronze powder works in Stamford for a period of 15 years, and was trusted employe, having entire charge of the plant. During that time, according to allegations made by the owners, Fuchs had been taking waste metal from the plant and selling to a person in New York for his own account. The total sales are alleged to have exceeded $100, 900 in value.
 1H6 SpeClNc COn1pIa1ntS 10 which Fuchs pleaded guilty are to embez- clement of one lot February. 2S, 1917, and another lot May 31, each valued at $3,50O.
 Civil suits are now pending in the superior court against Fuchs involv- Ing similar charges, and he is also named as defendant in a divorce suit brought by his wife.
 Fuchs was very prominent in Stam- ford, widely known, reputed man of wealth, member of various clubs, one of which States Attorney Galen Car ter was also a member, and the charges created a sensation in social circles when they were made.
 Prosecutor Garter said he had been informed that Fuchs suffers from a kidney disease. that he had no wish to impose a penalty which might re- suit in Fuchs death, and therefore recommended a jail penalty and fine be imposed rather than a state prison sentence. Judge N. c. Downs, who defended Fuchs, also made a plea for leniency.
