ARMY OF $4,000 BOYS AND GIRLS
TO RAISE FOOD in CONNECTICUT
This YEAR TO BEAT The KAISER
Food Supply Committee Has Prepared Plan to Utilize
Services of Younger Citizens to Increase the Food
Supply Of the State Every Boy and Girl in State
Will Have An Opportunity to Assist in the Work.

The success of this club was large
ly due to the assistance given by two
volunteer local leaders, who by the
way, were busy farmers. In spite of
the somewhat unfavorable season, the
individual achievements of boys and
girls quite equal the achievements of
any previous year.
More leadership has been available
during the past year than in any pre-
vious year. During the summer
months, 35 persons on salary were
giving part or full time to club lead
ership while the number of volunteer
leaders numbered about 200.
During the coming season the work
OF the boys and girls is to be decided
ly enlarged. The general interest in
club work has developed along with
the greater interest in production and
conservation. Connecticut boys and
girls having demonstrated that, under
proper leadership, they are an eco
nomic factor that cannot be well over
looked and they are willing and anxi-
GUS to do their part. The state au-
thorities are tmaking plans to organ
lie them and put them into the field
as an army to fight the food battle.
Join the Food Army and add to
the food supply is to be the slogan
for next year.

BRITISH LABOR'S
RESOLUTIONS ALL
/. ENDORSE WILSON

Nottingham, Eng, Jan. 26.-The
British Labor PARTY has closed the
most important convention in its his
tory. The outstanding fact of the
three day proceedings is the firm
stand taken on the war. British labor
emphatically reasserted that the
world must be completely and finally
rid of aggressive militarism."
The pacifist element in the confer
ence, although demonstrative, was
beaten decisively on every occasion it's
proposals reached the voting stage.
For the American public one of the
main points of interest is the party s
unequivocal acceptance of President
Wilson as its own prophet. Not a
single resolution or declaration was
made during the conference on the
subject of war or peace emitting an
endorsement of wilson's war aims and
attitude. No other Allied statesman
received a similar tribute. Premier
Lloyd-George had many carping crit
les and President Poincare was not
mentioned, but not even speakers rep
resenting the disaffected fringes of
the party spoke a disparaging word
on the attitude Of the American pres
ident and people.

PACKERS ATTEMPTED
TO SWAY PRESIDENT

! ton with the Borland resolution was
contained in. a memorandum taken
from the files of Wilson C Co., but
which carried notation showing that
it was sent to all of the big five
packing companies. The memQran-
dunn said:
Mr. Faulkner Counsel for Ar
mourn has received word from
Washington that the Borland hear
ings have been definitely set for June
IS. Don't mention the fact that we
have this advance information as the
official word probably will be out
within a day or two. 1t is not believ-
ed that Mr. Fisher knows it as YETI
The Mr.. Fisher referred to was
Walter Fisher, counsel for the live
stock men, who were urging the in
vestigation.
Statements by Francis J. Heney
that Armour & Co. had been found to
control the street railways of Kansas
City were the first indication that the
financial ramifcations of the packers
touched many street railway systems.
1.-The influence of the packers in
Kansas City is more widespread than
III any OlneT Guy OIL Tie OHlIeu oldtSS
except Chicago" Mr.. Heney said.
Evidence of the packers influence
in the tin industry also has been dis
covered Mr.. Heney told Commits
sioner McChord.
Control by the packers over finan-
cial institutions has reached such an
extent, Mr.. Heney said, that recently
when an independent packer asked
for a loan froI1 one of the big New
York banks the ; bank wrote to
Thomas E. Wilson, of Wilson & Co.,
asking whether the credit should be
extended.
Details of a visit to Washington
during which he consulted numerous
officials were given by Henry Veeder,
| counsel for the packers, in a letter
to Louis F. Swift, dated July II, 1916.
He wrote that he had been informed
that if the federal trade commission
were instructed to make an investi-
cation it be without publicity and un-
der no conditions public hearings at
which attorneys might participate.
L. c. BOYLE of Kansas City, former
encouragement of Kansas, appeared
to have been in constant communica-
ton with the packers regarding the
Borland investigation resolution.

u. S, AVIATORS
HURL TO EARTH
GERMAN FOES

Paris. Jan. 25-American aviators,
some of whom are still in the French
service, have distinguished themselves
recently in encounters with German
fliers. Two German machines were
shot down last Saturday, one by Da-
vid Putnam of Brookline, Mass, and
the other by Austen r. Crehore of
Westfield, N J.
Interest is added to Crehore's ex-
plot by the fact that he had been
rejected when he tried to enter the
American aviation servie on account
of defective ear. This was at New
port News. He was determined, how
ever, to get into the war and came
to France at his own expense. He
was accepted here and has been flying
for month on the battlefront. He
has a brother in the United States En-
gineer Corps in France and two 9TH
ers in the aviation service in, America.
Two other American filters, Harry
F. W. Johnson of South Bethlehem,

Soldier.

Newark, N. j., Jan. 26-More
than 100000 worth of prop
erty was destroyed today in a
fire, believed to be the work of
German spies, that. burned oil
barges, pier, warehouses and
freight cars on Newark bay,
close to the plant of the Sub
marine Boat Co. and store
houses Of the duartermaster
department of the army.
The fire was discovered by soldiers
who claimed that they saw a man run
ming away from the scene shortly af-
ter the fire broke out. When they
tried to stop him a shot was fired and
a bullet went through the hat of the
sergeant in command of The guard.
The man who fired the shot escaped.
Several hundred feet of the pier
was burned before dynamite was used
to stop the spread of the flames.
This plant was recently inspected by
Chairman E. N. Hurley Of the United
States shipping board, who ordered
additional military guards for the
property. The order was given, it was
said, because of hints of a spy plot
that reached Mr.. Hurley The keel
of an 5000 ton ship was recently laid
in the yard.
The barges were dashed to a wooden
pier which was used by the quarter
master department of the army, and
in order to save it soldiers and work
men dynamited the pier. The Sub
marine Boat Co.'S fire department,
realizing that the fire was getting
beyond their control summoned the
Newark fire department. Dynamite
was used to blast a channel in the
ice so that New York fire boats could
reach the barges.
Sixty guards and 200 soldiers are
engaged in protecting the terminals
and boat building plants where thou
sands of workmen are employed.
While the fire was in progress the
soldiers created a fire zone and kept
shooting their guns in the air to pre-
vent any one from approaching the
blaze.
1nree women ana IA men were on
the barges when the fire started and
they have been rounded by the mill
tary guard and placed under deten-
ton. No lives appear to have been
lost ~
/ Sergeant Mack McCabe, in cong.
mand of the soldier guard, says that
as the fire started he saw a nlaI5 I'm
from the barges to one of the store
houses, where he appeared on the
roof. McCabe climbed a ladder and
as his head appeared above the roof
gutter a shot was fired and the SER
geant's hat was sent spinning. The
man escaped in the dark.
At 1890 a. m. officials of the Sub
marine Boat Co. here said that the
fire was under control, the damage
having been confined to the barges,
an adjoining pier, several loaded
fright cars and a warehouse used by
the quartermaster department of the
army. The ship building plant was
no longer in danger, the officials said.
Official estimates of the loss were
lacking.

SCHWAB STATES
LABOR IS GOING
TO RULE WORLD

New York, Jan. 26-That we are
at the threshold of a new social era
in which labor will assume dominance
throughout thew orld is the predic-
ton of Charles NJ. Schwab president
of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation.
Schwab delivered an address on
the war situation at the eighth an
nual dinner of the alumni of Gram
mar School No. 40 at the Grand Hotel
this week and the opinion was given
that this nation would be amply re-
paid for the hardships of the war,
while both commercially and socially
great things are in store for US.
Respecting this nations conduct of
the war Mr.. Schwab said that while
he believed in honest comment he
was opposed to criticism of the ma
tons policies. While the govern
ment may have made mistakes, who,
under similar circumstances, would
not have made as many, he asked.
Mr.. Schwab also discussed the great
work of the steel corporation, which,
he said, has grown enormously in the
last year He said that the Secretary
of the Navy had asked the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation for an enormous
number of torpedo boat destroyers
upon the construction of which the
corporation is now engaged, and that
within a period of Is months the
United States would have more of
these vessels in service than the com
bined navies of the world.
1--WE are facing a social situation"
he said which we should be keenly
alive to situation which is going to
come at the close of the war, a
social renaissance of the whole
world. Call it socialism, social revo-
luton, Bolshevikism, or what you
will, it is a dwelling process and
means that the workman without
property who labors with his hands
is going to be the man Who will
dominate the world.
sit is going to be a great hardship
to the owners of property, but like all
revolutionary movements it will prob
ably work good. The sooner we real
ize this the better it will be for
America We must not fight this
movement, but we must educate it.
We must go among the people of the
working classes and mingle with
them and learn their feelings and
thoughts"

islands populated by the Esthonians
from the same peoples on the main

RAILROADS
TO BLAME
FOR JAM
New Haven Roads
Gross Negligence Cit
ed in l. C. C. Report
to McChOrd.

Washington, Jan. 26-Gross
negligence by railroads under
private management in giving
proper care to locomotives is a
principal cause of the present
freight congestion throughout
the Eastern states, according to
a report presented today to Di-
rector-General McAdoo by In
terstate Commerce Commits
sioner McChOrd.
After Analysing reports of inspec-
tors who have investigated conditions
at the principal points of congestion
in the east for several weeks, Commits
sioner McChord announced that hun
dreds of locomotives that are sorely
needed in the present emergency are
idle in shops and round houses, frozen
through neglect or lacking repairs
which might have been made if prop
er forethought had been given by To-
cal railroad officials.
Naming Speclhc yards and terminals
where scores of trains are stalled for
days awaiting motive power, Commits
sioner McChord showed that engines
lay in round houses without doors to
protect them against cold, and that
machinery was damaged by the ice
that encrusted it. For lack of repairs
other locomotives were operated with
steam seeping from loose fittings, and
power was reduced correspondingly.
This condition was reported to be
due partly to the scarcity of machin-
lists and repair men, who have been
drawn to other industries, but very
largely to negligence of local railroad
officials in making preparations before
winter arrived.
Shortage of locomotives prevents
normal movement on the New Haven,
the Baltimore & Ohio, the Erie, the
Philadelphia & Reading, the Central
of New Jersey, and other lines. At
the Harlem River terminal nearly A.
900 cars covering about IA miles of
track are held by roads for delivery
to the New Haven, which was unable
to accept them because of lack of en-
gtnes.
