Cabinet Officer Agrees to Come Back to Alaska and to Visit Juneau;
 He Likes Alaska.

Co-operation with those who are endeayoring to extend markets and opportunities for those engaged in the fisheries industries in Alaska is q promise made to Gov. Thomas Riggs. Jr.. by Secretary of Com merce W. c. Redfield. The promise is a result of Gov. Riggs visit to Ketchikan where the American-Can- adian marine and fisheries conference held meetings last week.
 The conference at Ketchikan was practically over when Gov. Riggs ar rived there. The latter presented the letters from the Fish and Game Club and the Commercial Association of Juneau. inviting the Secretary to visit this city.
 Secretary Redfield expressed his regret to Gov Riggs that the press of business in the East, particularly in connection with war matters, made it necessary for him to return i'm mediately, and precluded the possibil- ity of a visit to Juneau at this time. an COlIlllIS DICA, uOWCNCi, ouib the Secretary, "and l shall make it q point to visit Juneau at that time. "
 "The Cabinet officer was highly pleased" said Gov. Riggs, with the attitude of Alaska people, and de lighted with his view of the country"
 Will Aid Fishermen
 Secretary Redfield promised that he will have experts begin at once, as soon as his appropriation becomes available, to working up a market for Alaska culled fish-that is fish that have no market now and are going to waste in a large measure, said Gov Riggs. "He said market will be sought for the grey cod, red snapper and other species.
 "The Secretary also directed H. NJ. Smith, of the Bureau of Fisheries to send a man to Juneau to investi gate the hatchery that is being op erated here, and promised co-opera ton with those interested in it."

A large and enthusiastic meeting of the Liberty Loan committee was held Monday evening in the directors room of the Norwich Savings Society. with Chairman c. R. Butts presiding
 Plans for a house to house campaign were formulated as were plans for a
 big Liberty loan rally to be held in the town hall.
 The committee in charge of the Lib
 erty Loan drive in the Norwich dis
 trict, realizing the urgent need of
 more intensive campaign if Norwich
 would go over the top with flying col
 ors, have decided upon house to
 house canvass as the best means of
 reaching everyone in the city.
 The committee appointed Thomas H. Beckley, who so successfully con- ducted the K. of c. campaign in this city a short time ago. as commander in-chief of the canvassing forces. The general plan outlined by MT. Becsley is that the city and town be divided into. twenty sections. Twenty cap tains be appointed and each captain, who is to select his team of ten men,
 be assigned. to one section. This plan was thought to be the most practical and it was decided to begin the house to house canvass on Sunday next and continue it until every man, woman and child has been approached to buy a Liberty bond. The twenty captains | selected were as follows: H. F. Par ker, Martin Rozyed. Philip A. Wells, William A. Norton. James c. Sheridan. J F. Burns. Archa W. Colt, p. T. Con- nell, Alexander E. Reeves, Dr. E. J. Brophy, Abner Schwartz, F. w. Les- | ter, Archibald Torrance, c. A. Seer- | man. J. D. Pfeiffer, Harry B. Ford. J. l G. Potter. J. A. Desmond. J. J. Cor kery, M. J. Curran. These captains will meet on Wednesday evening in 1.-the directors rooms of the Norwich i Savings Society and announce the
 names of the men on their teams as well to be assigned to their sections. An executive committee to conduct the house to house campaign in con- l junction with the teams was also ap- pointed. The committee appointed was as follows: John NJ Lee. chair man, Mrs. Edwin w. Higgins, Mrs Charming Huntington. Mrs. Martin Rozycki. Allyn L. Brown, Martin l Rozycki, Abner Schwartz, F B. Hazz ard, J. c. Sheridan Bruno Pedace, J 1 W Burke. W. S. Elliott, Ashley T I Boon and c. R. Butts.

 At a subsequent meeting of the executive committee of the Liberty loan house to house canvass further plans were drawn up regarding the campaign and committee on plans l of territory was appointed which comprised M. J. Curran chairman, l Tyler c. Guy. C.. J. Downes and M.
 c. Higgins
 The Liberty loan rally committee held a short meeting after the com
 nittee meeting and laid plans for the rally which the committee proposes to make the largest yet. Plans are un- 1 der way for a large parade and also
 prominent speakers are to be engaged. l The date for the rally has not been definitely decided but it''is probable that it will be held on Saturday eve-
 ming previous to the start> of the house to house canvass.

CLOSE RACE IN
 sToRRs EGG CONTEST
Connecticut Hens Tie For First Place
 With Canadian Pen.

In no previous week of the laying contest now running at Storrs has there been such close competition among the pens Clifford L Stoddard's Leghorns from Woodbridge, Conn.,, and Tom J. Adamson's Barred Rocks from Laurel. Quebec tied for first place with 56 eggs each. Deer Brook Poultry Farms R. I. Reds from Short Falls, N. H.. were in second place with a yield of 55 eggs. Two pens of Bar red Rocks entered by Merit M. Clark, Brookfeld Center, Conn, and 42gle- side Farm, Palenville. N. Y, Fred South Brookline. N. H., Springdale Poultry Farms, R. T. Reds from Dur ham, Conn, and two pens of Leg horr.I owned by George Phillips, Sey- mour, Conn, and Oak Hill Estate of Unionville, Pa, all tied for third place with 53 eggs each. AS further evil dence of the closeness of the corhpe- tition it may be said that 8 Long Is- land pen of Barred Rocks, a Massa- chusetts pen of White Rocks, a Rhode Island pen of White Wyandottes, a Connecticut pen of Buff Wyandottes and 8 New Jersey pen of White Leg horns all tied for fourth place with 50 eggs each. Thus there was a to- tai of eleven hens tied for third and fourth places. The total yield for all pens amounted to 4351 eggs or a pro- duction of 62.2 per cent.
 During the twenty third week ' un- marketable eggs were laid; these were so small tha, it would require 3S of them to weigh a whereas the commonly accepted standard is 8 eggs to pound. On the other hand Homer P. Denning's R. I. Red No. 380, laid an egg that weighed just a trihe over ounces or an average of 4 eggs to the pound. It has been more or less com
 monly believed that abnormally small or large eggs market the beginning or end of a hens clutch, but this theo- ry is no longer tenable; the fact is that hens are more likely to lay very small eggs or very large eggs at or during the height of the laying sea son; in other words, when egg produc- ton is at its zenith there is obviously
 greater opportunity for abnormality neither the little egg nor the big one means that hen has just started tc lay or that she has finished and if about to become broody. Under sized
 or over sized eggs are a good sigr that the flock is laying heavily. The three best pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows: Barred Plymouth Rocks. Jen

AT THE DAVIS THEATRE.
Feature Moving Pictures.

A derailed car on the early afternoon train from New London Monday was responsible for the non arrival of William s. Hart at the Davis theatre in time for the matinee performance. However he arrived in time for the evening performance and appeared on the screen before a large sized audi ence. The film is Hart's latest Art craft picture and it is entitled Blue Blazes Rawden.
 ''BIue Blazes' Rawden," the part por- trayed by Hart, is a lurnberjack who has lived all his life in the great woods. He strolls into the dance hall and gambling room of "Ladyfingers
 Hilgard, "blacl1 sheep" from Eng land, whose escapades all over the world have landed him in this remote place of concealment. Between Raw den and Hilgard there is instinctive antipathy which bursts into hatred when Rawden wins the smiles of Hil- gard's sweetheart and wins his pos sessions at his gaming tables. Hill gard suggests a duel to the death in darlsened room, and in the strug- gle falls victim of his rival. Before dying Hilgard confesses he is glad to leave the world, as his mother is on her way to join him and if she knew the life he led it. would kill her. The mother arrives with younger son and Rawden imposes silence upon the habitues by threats of death to any one who discloses to the mother the life or manner of death of her son The mother is a sweet. high bred wo- man and believes that her son was worthy and passed away surrounded
 by friends. She bestows her affec- ton on Rawden, whom she believes was Hilgard's greatest friend. All migh1 have gone well but for the jealousy ot a half breed girl who madly loved Rawtlen, and, when spurned, divulg. 1 ed the truth to the younger son, Eric who shoots and wounds Rawden tC

WEEKLY REVIEW BY
 THE WAR DEPARTMENT
Indicates That the German Drive To- ward the Channel Has Spent ItseIf.

Washington, April 15.-Hope that the force of the German stroke to- ward the channel ports has largely spent itself grew here today as the British lines stood fast under repeated shocks. The days advices indicated again that Field Marshal Haig's men were obeying to the letter his call for resistance.
 The weekly review published by the war department, although if carried operations only up to last Saturday, showed that "war college opinion saw then indications that the German wave was reaching its crest" In allied d. plomatic and military circles the same impression pfevailed today strength ened by more recent reports from the front.
 Fierce Fighting on Northern Line,
 Despatches indicate that the fiercest fighting is on the Aorthern line of the new salient driven into the British front north of Arras. The struggle for possession of Neuve Eglise and towns in that region looks to observ- CTS here like an effort by the enemy to force a way behind Ypres and the consequent abandonment of that place and a withdrawal of a large section of the British line. The Germans were in possession of Neuve Egiise by last accounts, but they had previously captured 1t only to be driven out again. The situation has not stabii- ized on this particular front further than to show that the enemy is meet ing with stubborn resistance to his effort to widen his fighting front to the north,

 in holding this ground means in- creased probability that they will hold Igt permanently. Time allows the as- senbling of supporting forces in sui ficient strength to meet any shock. Or should withdrawal and re-align- ment on better positions be judged desirable, time will give opportunity for the preparation of those positions It Is possible that the plans of Gen. eral Foeh, commander n-cilief of d. lied and American armies in France hinge upon developments in this mar row sector of the broad battle front Such moves as he may be contemplat- I ing may well depend, 1t is said, upon | the stabilization of the allied left flank. On the right, the French ap- pear to have succeeded in effectins such stabilization. Presumably any plans for a counter offensive would be dependent upon these two positions.
 Situation Regarded as Serious.
 There is no question but that many 1 officers here view the situation as SC. rious. They do not all share ths hopeful outlook indicated by the wa, college review for last week Even il the present thrust toward Bethube i. checked, they believe third assault at some other portion of the Britisi l front is to be expected, coming witt the suddenness of a storm from 2 clear sky.

dicating that the Austro- Hungarian forces were preparing for a drive against the Italians. Some observers think that in case of definite check to a German movement, the Austrians would launch their effort.
 In that case, the scene of opera tions on the west front might shift far to the south to the area where American troops are on the front. The railway junction through which French or British forces sent to Italy naturally would pass, lies behind that sector. It is believed possible that the Germans might throw their weight in that direction in an effort to pre- vent. any support reaching Italy.

LIEUT.. CALLAHAN NOT
 eN WRECKED TRAIN
Fears For Safety of Norwich Man Are
 Relieved.

As Lieutenant John W Callahan now stationed at Camp Upton, L. l., left this city Sunday evening to re- turn to his camp considerable anxie- ty was felt when it was learned that a train had been wrecked between New York and the camp. Lieut.. Callahan was supposed to have left New York aboiit three o'clock Monday morning which was short time before the wreck took place. As first reports did not state in which direction the train was running when wrecked it was thought that Lieut.. Callahan was on it. When the later reports showed that the train was running from Camp Upton to New York the fears of Norwich people were relieved.
