Firms Are PenaIized for. Violations of Food Savnc Rules.

Scores of firms throughout the United States have been penalized for violations of rules of the Food Ad- ministration. In some cases licenses to operate have been suspended in others, contributions to the Y. M. c. A., Red Cross, and other organizations have been accepted in lieu of suspen- sion of license.
 Among the more numerous viola tions are sales of flour without substi- tutes; refusal to accept delivery of foodstuffs previously ordered; opera ting without licenses; excess sales of | sugar; carrying more than a normal 30 days supply of sugar; failure to use the proper amount of four substi- ute in bread making; and prof1teer- ing.

Nearly All Artillery for American
 Army to be Motorized.

Motorization of field artillery will be carried to a greater extent in the American Army than in any other army engaged in the war. Not only will a far greater amount of motor equipment be provided in proportion to the strength of the Army, but 1t will be used for work where armies now in the field depend solely upon horse power and man power.
 The Ordnance Department has sue ceeded in developing such types of tractors that, exclusive of the heaviest field artillery mounted on railroad car riages, all American artillery will be motorized, with the. exception. of some of the 3-inch gun batteries. The problem of rnotorization of field ar tillery is a difficult one, which explains why it has not been carried :te a greater extent than has been the case with the armies that have been fight ing in Europe for the last three years
 The possible output of tractors for the transport of field. artillery in the United States is practically unlimited whereas the supply of horses. is al present limited and is becoming more so each month.

addresses turned in by soldiers, re- moval of families to addresses other than those listed, and the occasional necessity for cabling back to Gen. Pershing to verify a name or to ob- tain an address,
 Aside from these four causes of de-
 lay the only reason for the failure of relatives to receive word at once is military consideration Gen. Pershing
 may, at his discretion, withheld a
 casualty list until he is positive it will
 have no military value to the enemy.

More Railway Engineers to go to Franco.

When the new regiments and 19 battalions of railway engineers now being organized are put on duty there will be 50,0000 Americans engaged in railroad construction and opedation in France.
 After the United States entered the war one of the first requests trans mStted to this Government by the French mission was for the assistance in strengthening the French railways. Nine regiments of railway engineers whose organization was started before Gen. Pershing sailed, were in France by August, 1917. Six of them have been engaged in construction work building and rebuilding railways building docks, and rearranging ter minal facilities. The other three regi- ments have been engaged in opera tion, and some Of the railway troops have been on the fighting line. The additional troops will be used partly for construction and maintenance and partly for operation.
 A total of s160,000,00o has been spent on railway materials alone. Included in the purchases are 1,727 locomotives 22,6SO freight cars, and S59,O00 tons of steel rails.

HOME GUARD READY,
 BOLSHEVIKI BEWARE
City Guard Too, is Prepared and All Units Have Rifles, Bayonets
 and Ammunition

Before going further with their re- ported attempts to organize in this city the Bolsheviki should thoroughly investigate the preparedness of the city Not only is New Britain pro- tected by 8 police force of about 52 regular officers, all of them good re- volver shots, and 100 supernumerary policemen, but it also has two com panies of Home Guard and a com pany of City Guardsmen which makes the city almost impregnable to either inside or outside disturbances.
 In the two companies of Home Guard are 140 men, all well drilled in military tactics, many of them for mer soldiers and veterans of real campaigns. The City Guard too, is a well drilled organization and with these three companies to draw upon in case of any emergency the city need have no fear of any uprisings. The two companies of Home Guard are Company H and Company M, in command of Captain Samuel Magson, a, Spanish War veteran, and Captain Frank H. Johnston respectively. For many months the guardSmen have drilled regularly each week and have also practiCed diligently on the rifle range until every man is able to give a good account of himself when he glances along the cold blue steel bar rel. Not only have the Home Guard and City Guard enough rifles and bayonets for all their enlisted men but they have 8 big store of ammuni- tion. The ammunition used in the Springfield and Krag rifles used by these guardsmen is of the regula tior variety and will kill at a distance o1 several miles.
 Officers of Col. Burpee's staff visit ed the state armory last evening fo an official inspection of Company M and were well pleased with the show ing. The numerous civilians wht have watched these various com panies drill have all left with a feel ing of added security.

reports of Austrian strikes, peace
demonstrations and food riots.

The holding of the Austrian drive
against Italy has had a strong re-
action within Austria. according to
information here. The Austrians are
dissatisfied with the slow progress
and 1t is said nothing short of a sue
cess there will prevent serious inter
nal troubles.
The attitude of officials is based
on these things:
Past experience shows the Teutons
manufacture revolution" stories to
make their opponents believe extra.
ordinary effort is unnecessary and
that the end of the war is near.
Austria is bound to Germany by
debts and a new alliance so strongly
that she cannot escape now short of

and Germany is now sending her

within Austria Hungary is revealed by
the decision of the German govern
ment to send food into the dual mon.
archy, drawn from Germany's own
scanty supplies.
The Austro-Hungar food minis.
ter, Pawl, has been in Berlin several
days trying to persuade the Germans
| to relieve the famine conditions in the
Hapsburg empire.
He was unable to convince the Ber-
lin government of the urgency of the
situation until rioting began in Vienna
and other Austrian towns. The dis.
turbances apparently frightened the
German authorities into fearing a
revolution in Austria-Hungary. No
explanation less serious than this
can explain the decision OF TIE Ger
mans to part with even the smallest
quantity of their own dwindling food
reserve.
The sacrifice wrested from the Ger
mans may stabilize for the time being
conditions in Austria-Hungary, but
the precedent established is destined
to have increasingly serious conse-
quences with the prolongation of the
war. The population of Vienna has
learned they can improve the quanti-
ty Of their rations by rioting The
time must come when Germany will
have to refuse to send another carload
of food into the dual monarchy. When
that situation arises Austria Hungary
may follow the way of Russia.
Germany's own internal condition
is menaced by granting the Hapsburg
demand for food; but Germany is now
being governed by policy of immed-
late expediency. Whatever postpones
a crash from day to day must be ac-
cepted by the HohenzoIlerns as their
only method of procedure.
The kaiser's people, still hypnotized
by the glamor of militarism are will
ling to accept greater sacrifices than
is Austria-Hungary. The necessary
inference is that Austro-Hungarian
have begun to fall away from military
worship. BY attacking the food regu-
lations Of the militarists they have Sc
cured more food for themselves. This
part Of the lesson may suddenly come
home to the underfed masses of Ger
mans
