DRAFTEES LEFT
 JOBS TOO SOON

Many draftees in this city have mis- understood the directions of General Crowder's work or fight" law. They have given up their positions to seek employment in intuition factories and shipyards and have now complained to their draft boards they cannot make enough money to support their families.
 The trouble is that many did not wait to find out what work had been classed as productive and left po- sitions which were not in this class. They are now going to their draft boards to seek permission to return to their old jobs.

On account of high rents in the moving into small quarters in apart ment houses, where they can save some space by not having any wall paper on the walls.
 The German people aren't one par ticle alarmed about the great army in khaki going across, as Kaiser Bill has solemnly assured them it is only our Boy Scouts.

 Up to date no one has asked to be exempted from military service on the ground that he was too proud to fight.
 The farmers who complain about the trusts are often the same ones who hoard their products until late in the winter.
 It is denied that the military ex- perts that write for the newspapers don't know anything, as they know a lot of things that aren't so.

BILLIARD CASE
 IS CONTINUED

Rather ooincidental was the testi- Portchester yesterday in the divorce action of John A. Bullard of Green wich against Margaret Bullard be- fore Judge Warner in the Superior Court Bullard charges his wife with infidelity and made a specific state ment of her misconduct setting forth as the dates, October 21, November i, and November '. Strange to relate on each one of these dates there was Ia card party at which Mrs. Bullard was present according to the other members of a card club to which they all belonged.
 Especially were the ladies certain about the date of November '. It was impossible to shake their belief that they were sure of the date al- though Attorney Pond of New Haven subjected them to a very searching and severe examination. All this happened in the fall of 1917, quite some few months ago. On this par ticular date, MT. Bullard, when on the stand, testified that he saw Mrs. Bull lard in Harrison, N. Y, in company with the correspondent, George Boles.
 The proprietor of this hotel at which Mr. Bullard' states he saw his wife. Rocco DiNunno, was the best witness for the day for Mrs. Bullard as he not only stated that it was not Mrs. Bull lard at the hotel with MT. Boles on November ', but another woman and further that BuIlard himself had been Ito the hotel a number of times. It was not possible to finish the casa
 yesterday and it was continued.

TABLECLOTHS A GOVERNMENT ISSUE
 IN GERMANY.

"As is we'll known" says the Ber- lin Lokal Anzeiger of March ', "the use of tablecloths in public eating places has been long formidden, ~ex- cept when table tops are in the rough and have no other appropriate sort of cover. Even for such cases it is said that there will soon be issued prohibition q against which all the proprietors concerned urge their ob- 1ections vigorously.
 The Berlin Union of Hotel Pro- prietors and many others interested called meeting at the Central Hotel to protest against the further exten- sion of the ban on tablecloths. In the meeting attention was called to the distress already prevalent in ho- tel circles and the point accented thar the enactment of the prohibition would still further lessen the tax-pav- ing abilities of the proprietors, as also that this new rA1e would impair for eign respect for Germany.
 The meeting decided upon taking steps 10 communicate with the inn perial clothing bureau and recalled that the hotel proprietors had already placed all available household linen at the disposal of the imperial bu- | reau

New York, Jane Announcement
of the operation of German submarines
IS miles off the New Jersey coast led
today to speculation as to possible
attack on New York.
Possibility Of any submarine pene-
trating the nets and other defenses in
the lower harbor was Immediately dis
counted.
The authorities, however, considered
the possibility of an air raid by air
ships launched from the deck of a sub
marine. This theory has been widely
discussed in the past and its praetic-
ability is admitted by some experts on
naval matters.
American military officials have SO
accepted such a possibility, in fact,
that anti-aircraft guns long have been
established at strategic points around
New York City and its environs, ac.
cording 70 reliable reports.
In ease the huns should attempt to
bomb New York, it is agreed that il
would be merely for the effect on
American morale rather than because
| of any military reason.
