BALFOUR DEMANDS.
GERMAN COLONIES.
Be HELD BY ALLIES.
BRITISH FOREIGN SECRETARY
DECLARES THAT FOR SAFETY
OF THE WORLD GERMAN COLO.
MES MUST NOT BE RETURNED,

London, via Montreal, Oct. 24.-ln
no circumstances is it consistent with
the safety, security and unity Of the
British empire that Germany's colo
MES should be returned to her, de
clared A. J. BafOur. the British for
eign secretary, in speech at the
luncheon of the Australian amid New
Zealand Club.
Mr.. Balfour said ii was absolutely
essential that the communications OF
the British empire should remain safe.
He asked if the German colonies were
returned what security was there that
their original possessors would not
use them as bases for piratical war
Are.
The doctrine that the colonies
should not be returned, Mr. Balfour
claimed, was not selfish ami imperial
istic. II was one in which the inter
ests of the world were almost az
much concerned as the interests OF
the empire itself.
If the empire was to remain united
il was absolutely necessary that com
munication between the various parts
should not be at the mercy OF an IN
scrupulous power.

NEW FOOD RULES FOR
 BAKERS AND OTHERS

Hartford.-Among the latest regula- tions promulgated by the Federal Food Administration for Connecticut are briefly the following:
 All licensed bakers Gall must be H- censed if they use three or more bar rels of flour per mOnth) must make their Victory bread and rolls on and after April 14 '75-25," or not more than three-quarters wheat and at least one-quarter cereal substitutes. A standard system of periodic inspection is being devised to keep a close check on commercial bakers.
 Hotels, restaurants and all public eating places must hereafter limit their purchases of wheat four to six pounds for every 90 meals served. This forces them to conform to the limitations so urgently suggested to all householders, i that each individual should cut his 1 normal consumption of wheat in one half and use not more than one and one-half pounds of wheat per week. This allowance takes an accounting of all the available wheat in the country until the next harvest.
 | In addition to observing wheatless Mondays and Wednesdays, public eat 1 ing places must not serve more than two ounces of wheat four to any one guest at any one meal either in the form of breadstuffs, macaroni, crack CTS, pastry, pies, cakes or wheat break fast cereals.
 Bakers and grocers are urged to re duce the volume of Victory bread sold by taking advantage of the Food Ad- ministration's permission to bake and sell the three-quarter pound loaf of bread.
 Potatoes are no longer a substitute to be sold with wheat four.
 Chickens weighing two pounds or less and roosters may be killed and sold under the Food Administration regulations, and any unlicensed dealer who cares to ignore the wise admoni' tions of the Food Administration may slaughter his entire poultry yard if he cares to run counter to the admins tration's warning that from now until May is the period during which egg laying should be encouraged.

ORGANIZING TO PUSH LOAN.

A series of conventions to impress upon the chairmen and members of local Liberty Loan Committees the ne ..cessity of adopting modern ideas of organiza ton and also to acquaint them with the details of the work to be done in the Third Liberty Loan drive is planned by George W. Hodges, chair man of the committee for District No. of the New YorS Federal Reserve District.
 Ut is . my intention" said Mir. Hodges, "to meet the chairman of each local committee and as many as pos sible of the farmers, merchants and bankers who are members of those committees in order to talk over all the conditions that must be met in working out our Liberty Loan organ ization. The problems of these com mittees differ in various parts of the district and the work of each must be planned along definite lines to get the best results"

WANTON WASTE MAY
 LOSE THE WAR
Food Administration Office Says
 Connecticut Homes Are Hurting Cause.

Hartford Letters received from Connecticut soldiers now fighting in France frequently contain such a pas sage as, '"They don't seem to have any too much to eat over here" In dis cussing the food situation in France and Italy one of the officials of the Federal Food Administration for Con necticut recently exclaimed:
 q simply can't understand why so many careless people and wanton wasters in this and other states will not stop to consider what their failure to conserve and to follow the Food Ad- minisration's suggestions may mean to this country. Can't they under stand that the United States and the | Allies are at the height of a titanic contest on the result of which depends the very existence of this country, the very existence of business here in Connecticut and the very existence of our own homes?
 Wheat WantonIy Wasted.
 "At the very moment when garbage pGils containing portions of 1oaves of wheat bread and large chunks of meat are being removed from some Connec- ticut homes it is by no means improba- ble that boy from that very home or perhaps from the next house would ap- preciate those very foodstuffs, wheat and meat. There is no doubt but that the French and Italian civilian popula- ton are in actual want for such things as are thoughtIessly wasted and thrown away in this country. Men, of course, are necessary to win the war, and the greater thousands will decide the is- sue, but it will be the thousands who are fed and whose supplies continue to reach them from the rear"

NEW WAR LOAN
 ACTIVITIES GROW
Organization I Is Perfected at Numerous Meetings Through
 out New York District.
EVERY CORNER TO BE REACHED
Campaign Leaders Aim Not to Over look a Single Potential
 Bond Buyer.

Information received at headquar- ters in New York from Liberty Loan Subdistrict Committees in the Second Federal Reserve District shows a very evident speeding up as the date for the third loan campaign approaches. Meetings in the various subdistricts are multiplying and in several locali- ties have been called twice week. In Subdistrict No. 2 the activity is pronounced, three meetings 8 week being the average
 The chairmen of the subcommittees have approached their problem with determination. It is already apparent that their organizations will be letter perfect and fully trained at the start of the big drive on April 6.
 In the cities and towns the cam paign will be intensively prosecuted. Each place will have a chairman in control of the local team captains, who in turn will manage groups of house toulouse canvassers. And they don't intend that a single person shall es- cape an individual appeal.
 While campaign plans will vary in some localities, in the greater num- Der of sections the school district has been adopted as the unit, subdtvided into neighborhood units that will reach every potential bond buyer. In some counties local committees of three have been organized, composed of 8 farm owner, a tenant farmer and 8 hired man.
 In Subdistrict No. 8, Mir. James w Sheldon chairman, a typical Sorganiza tion on the county plan has been per fected. Here each county has chair man and a publicity director working under MT. Sheldon. Then each towr and village has it's campaign head who ! is responsible for reaching every per son through a system of subdivisions that will penetrate to the most remote | corner
 From every part of the Second Fed eral Reserve District come reports O enthusiastic cooperation, and there i! evident a genuine anxiety among thost enlisted in the work to get into tht big push to put the third loan ove the top and so lend hand to the boy battling on the west front.

FILL ALL REFRIGERATOR CARS.

Hartford.-The Federal Food Ad- ministration for Connecticut is calling attention to the advice 1t has given to all shippers of eggs that they load re- frigerator cars to the maximum so far as is eonsonant with safe carriage, the carload minimum being 24,o00 pounds. As to a report in circulation that re- frigerator cars are plentiful, the Food Administration points out that the heavy production of perishables will create an unusual demand for refriger- ator cars, which in all cases should be loaded by the shippers as heavily as possible without serious risk to the | Contents.

HOW TO TELL A CHICKEN.

Hartford.-So many inquiries have been made of the Food Administration as to how to tell rooster from a pull let that the Food Administration tells to all inquirers this story as related by a Maine spinster:
 You ask how we may tell roosters from bullets Well, about the best method is the one advanced by a neigh bor, who said: Mix some meal and wa fer and when the chickens are a few days old drop a little in front of them. If he eats 1t it's rooster; if she eats 1t it's a bullet
