The schedule for the production Of

cording to the official notice, embraces

very essential pits and shells are not
thrown into Tn garbage can. Instead
they will be rescued from tables and
kitchen pans and will have places Of

have a monopoly of this conservation

WHOLE GERMAN
COMP ANY LOST
AT ARMENT|ERES

Liverpool. May 20 = How every
man of a German company lost his
life in an attack on the Armentieres
front is told in letter from a Liver
pool officer to his local newspaper.
The frecest fight we had" he
writes, was when the enemy massed
troops with the object of widening the
gap he had made. The attempt was
made in open country, where we were
able to mass a number of battalions
against him, and the fighting was
very fierce.
Our Liverpool battalion had the
post of honor. When the Germans
started to throw their troops against
US we poured into their ranks a very
heavy fire and did terrific execution.
Immediately in front Of us, a Ger
man company got caught between our
fire and that of another English regi-
ment, with the result that they could
neither advance nor go back They
kept on trying to reach our square,
but were shot down one by one until
only six of them remained. These six
threw down their rifles and signaled
that they wished to surrender. But
they were seen by a German officer
near by, who gave an order to his
men, and. the six were shot down by
their own comrades before they could

Regulations to Increase the

Hundreds Of Connecticut salt water

all shad. fishermen, together with
about 500 Connecticut fishermen IL
censees who secured their licenses
promptly after the Presidents proc

receiving copies of the license regu-
la1ons issued by the United States
Food Administration. The regula-
tons contain all the general and spe-
cial rules relating to fisheries isued
up to April %, 1913.
The regulations were formulated
primarily to increase the output Of
fish caught in American waters, and
to abrogate restrictive State laws
wherever inimical or in conflict with
the Federal regulations. The broad
fishing operations, now possible will,
in the opinion of the Food Admins
tration, stimulate salt water fishin (

BROUGHT DOWN IN
RAID ON LONDON

London, May 20-A calm sum-
mer like night tempted the Germans
to try last night their first aeroplane
raid on London since March and
four of the raiders fell before the
defenses of London.
The moon was shining brightly
when the raiders crossed the south
eastern point and headed for the
metropolis. The usual warnings were
given promptly and the people had
time to reach shelters before the
guns in the neighborhood of London
were heard. The firing was almost
continuous, for more than two hours
and was unusually severe. Several
bombs were dropped by the raiders.
The number of enemy aeroplanes
is not known, but they seem to have
been more numerous than usual.
The latest attack on London and
its environs was the most demon
strative ever undertaken. Never be-
fore was there such a tremendous fire
from the defense batteries.
Thousands of persons had their
first experience of an air raid
There were many persons from Eng
land, Scotland and Wales who took
advantage of the Whitsuntide holi-
days, which run from Saturday to
Tuesday, to visit the metropolis. On
the other hand, thousands of Lon
doners had gone to the country and
sea shore resorts for brief vacations.
They cut short these visits and hur-
ried back to London to learn the fate
of their homes and relatives.
Except for few brief pauses the
gunners blazed away with a terri
fic concentration of fire. The raid
ing planes flew at a great height, the
majority of them keeping well up to
1900 feet in a very clear sky.
