WAR SUMMARY.

Germany has not yet replied to
the bolsheyist offer to accept an en-
forced peace. Germanys armies
having occupied Dvinsk and Lutsk
continue the invasion OF Great Rus
sia on a front OF more than 400
miles from the Gulf OF Riga, to
Lutsk.
Menaced by the power of German
militarism, the bolshevist govern
menh unpreparcd for warfare and
its armies partly demobilized, agreed
to accept the hard terms refused but
a few days ago at Brcst Litoysk.
1t is uncertain whether the back
down on the part of Great Russia
will halt the onward march of the
Germans, who may intend the cap
turc Of a great portion Of Russia,
torn as it is by internal strife. The
bolshevist power depends greatly
upon making peace, the cry for
which has caused the overthrow OF
three other Russian governments
within 4 year.
In agreeing to a German peace,
the bolsheyiki protest aginst the
invasion. Russian army units have
been ordered to propose to the in
yading German troops that they re-
train from fighting. Should the
Germans decline the Russians are to
offer resistance.
German and Austrian newspapers
are alarmed over the renewal OF
the German war against Russia,
which apparently is not popular
with the peoples OF the two coun-
tries, especially the Austrians. vi
emma papers say Austria has no
cause to make war on Russia, and
the socialist organ there calls on
the government to announce that
hostilities with Russia are over.
They say nothing, however, against
the Germans terms to Russia, which
include the surrender OF Poland,
Lithuania, Riga and Moon island
and the payment Of a tribute of
S4,OO0,O0O.
Although quite prepared to ad-
vance against defenselesS Russia,
the Germans have made no often
siye movement on the western front.
Activity on the British and French
fronts has been confined almost
wholly to artillery commandments,
particularly on the Arras-St. Qucn-
tin sector in Champagne and north
east of Nerdun.
On the American sector a Ger
man patrol has been dispersed with
casualties, and the American artil-
lery has been scattering shrapnel
over the German trenches.
Raiding and artillery operations
are becoming more active on the
Italian front.
Marked aerial activity continues
on the Yves front, and entente
aviators have accounted for thirty
nine more German machines. Brit
ish aviators in three days have
brought down or disabled ffty-scven
German airplanes.
British and French airmen have
not let up in their bombing attacks
on important points in German
Lorraine, both night and day raids
being carried out. Airdromes, docks
and other targets in Belgium are
being bombed by British naval air
men.
Berlin reports the destruction Of
seven allied airplanes.
Attacks on the Lloyd George
in England have been
quieted again by the premier in a
personal appeal to the house of COM
mons either to accept the policy
agreed on at Versailles or to put
in another government. No pro-
Dosal for a vote of a want of con-
ldenCe was made.

Mr.. Asquitu supported the right
OF parliamentary criticism in such
m"ters. ,ae occasion was not such
4 sirri0. one as hVc been several
other appearances OF the Welsh
T cmicr before the house when his
administration has been under at
tack. His speech was a detailed but
guarded recital OF the proposals by
which the four powers at Versailles
had arrived at the principles Of their
latest form of cooperation. There
were no oratorical passages except
few sentences at the close, when
Premier Lloyd George appealed to
the country to get together in the
face of a common danger.
Final Plan Agreed Upon.
The plan finally agreed upon by
the council, he said was due large
ly to the strong logical representa-
tlons which the American delegates
had submitted i'll the form OF 4

regret Of the government that it
had been unable to induce him to
take position in which his abili-

clarcd that their personal relations
always had been cordial.
Mr.. Asquith asserted the country
regarded with deep concern the re-
cent enforced retirement of the gov
ernmcnts chief naval and military
advisers, Admiral Jellicoe and Cen
eral Robertson.
The public and their own profcs-
slons rcposcd the utmost confidence
iii the men. Mr., Asquith added
that the country had noted thar both
retirements were preceded by a hes
tile press campaign. The public
questioned whether these losses
were compensated by the retention
ot the Earl OF Derby in the war
ministry and the appointment as di-
rector OF foreign press propaganda

secured from the Committee of Food Supply of the Connecticut State Coun- ell of Defense. Special emphasis is placed upon the necessity for using only fresh, clean eggs, with sound shells. Eggs more than week old should not be used.
 A forty-quart contai1ier will provide sufficient space for case of thirty dozen eggs. Contrary to the general supposition, it is not difficult to move eggs after they have been put down, the only precaution necessary being that they are not jared sufficiently to break the shells.
 Eggs should keep well for at least ten months when preserved by this method. Sometimes the water glass forms a whitish and jelly-like sub stance in the bottom of the receptacle. This does not indicate any spoilage either of eggs or of water glass and should cause no alarm. Rinse off the thick solution in cold water and the eggs are ready for use.
 By purchasing eggs during April and May, when the price ranges from 40 to 45 cents, eggs practically as good as fresh eggs can be had six months hence, when the price is from 30 to 90 cents a dozen on the market.

GRANGE ACTIVE
 IN NEW LOAN
W. M. Giles, Organization Secre' tary, Tells of Steps to Support
 Third Liberty Loan Campaign.
FARMERS CARRY THE BURDEN.
Will Bend All Energies to Increase Production and Make Food Supply Adequate Besides Giving Generous Financial Aid to Government.

Details of the steps taken by the New York State Grange to support the Third Liberty Loan Campaign are given in a statement just issued by W. M. Giles, secretary of the Grange. Starting his story with the words, Food will win the war;" he con- tinued:
 "Upon the American farmer, then, falls the responsibility, and as has always been the case, the farmer as an individual and as a class is stand ing solidly behind the Government in the great crisis through which it is passing.
 'The farmer is bending every ener- gy to increase production and make the food supply as adequate as possi- ble, enough land is in sight, and enough patriotism, enough energy, and enough determination. Given enough seed, feed, fertilizer and labor, Amer lea can and will, through her farmers, feed herself, her soldiers, her Allies and the world.
 "Upon the American farmer today rests a burden and a responsibility which he is willing to assume and anxious to discharge.
 "He will help with his money, will invest in War-Savings Stamps and in Liberty Bonds to the extent of his ability.
 '"The New York State Grange has as an example of its faith in the Gov ernment, and patriotic desire to sup port said Government, from its treas ury placed $10,0O0 in Liberty Bonds has sent communications to its Pc mona and subordinate granges urging them to do the same, and individual members, melted by these appeals ant examples, have been liberal sub scribers. When the next loan becomes available they will do everything pos sible to take the issue promptly, fully realizing that the strongest possible factor in prosecuting the war is prompt, energetic action on the par of all in supplying the sinews of war
 "We will loan all, in fact, will givt all, feeling that if we are to start life again financially it were better to dt so in a free, democratic America thai under the domination of an autocrati, Kaiser" {

STOCK MARKET

New York, April 24-Opening- Gains extending from one to two points in Reading, Anaconda and In- spiration Copper, Sumatra Tobacco and Loose Wiles biscuits were the distinguishing features at the open ing of today's stock market Other wise changes were limited to frac- tions, mainly upward. The motor group was irregular and specialties manifested variable tendencies. Deal ings were light, interest again center ing in the war situation.
 Noon.---Petroleums and minor war issues were included among the stronger stocks of the early period, but an abrupt reversal set in on an- nouncement of Germany's fresh of- fensive in France. Motors were most vulnerable, breaking 1-2 to 5 points, accompanied by adverse dividend ru- mors Shippings also reacted one to two points and by noon little re- mained of the early rise. The only striking exceptions were fertilizers and Sumatra Tobacco at over night gains of 1 1-2 to points. Liberty 3 1-2s sold at 9S.96 to 99o4, the first As at 96.62 to 96.88, and the second As at 9664 to 96.76.

The World of Finance

is and brokerage loans cut down to active securities are ex-
 pected to respond better to buying than to selling orders; in brief, the line of least resistance yS allow ing flor calamitous war developments is undoubtedly upward Large div 1dends that have been paid, are now in effect end which will probably be fairly well maintained for some time to come, are steadily marking down the original purchase price of many securities like the steel, equipment and copper shares. We think this an imortant feature not to be overlooked by the investor. There is no doubt that the various restrictions thrown around the market, including those applying to short selling, have made it less liquid; but it is to be noted that while the volumes of sales may be curtailed, the uncertainties of war make for almost ceaselesS activity within certain ranges, thereby pro viding good trading opportunities. The government is now said to be using the larger part of the capacity of the lealding steel companies of the country, and may continue to do so for the period of the war. This will explain decreases in published ton mage reports, for government orders are not given out. The statement of Judge Gary, chairman of the Board of the U. s. Steel Corporation, that the concern is doing large and profitable business and expects to continue to pay substantial dividends during the war and afterwardb has stimulated absorption of U. s. Steel and other standard steel stocks. It should not be overlooked that U. $.
 Steel and Bethlehem Steel are also engaged in shipbuilding on big scale, and that revenues from this line
 should be profitable. Pool activity continues to manifest itself in a way ! suggestive of banking accommodation with funds along conservative lines
 Railway equipment stocks are Ia vored, and they are expected to re-
 spond bullishly to placing of car and locomotive orders by the government

Advice Contained in Bulletin Prepared by Food
 Committee.

"Now is the time to put down eggs in water glass for winter use," says Prof. W. F. Kirkpatrick of the Con- necticut Agricultural College, in a bull letin prepared for the Committee of Food Supply of the Connecticut State Council of Defense. Eggs a1e lowest during the months of April and May, and by purchasing during these months next winters supply is assured at a reasonable price. Water glass can be secured at from 9 to 30 cents a quart ordinarily, and two quarts of this ma- terial is sufficient for thirty dozen eggs. The maximum cost for preserv- ing will be about cents a dozen.'
 Preserving eggs in water glass is neither difficult nor expensive. Full directions are usually given when the water glass is purchased, or may be
