talnties in supplies of feeds because of congested transportation caused many poultry keepers to curtail production or reduce stocks on hand As was inevita- ble under the circumstances, the sec tions of the east where poultry keeping was most highly specialized were most affected. Shortage of feed in drouth- stricken areas in the west and south west also led to reduction of poultry stocks on general farms in those areas.
 Elsewhere flocks appear to have been maintained at about normal numbers, and in some places slightly increased. Reports of heavy selling in sections where feed is sufficient have in many cases failed to take into account the dis position of the stock sold. It has usual ly been assumed that all stock sold went to slaughter Some reports, how eyer, state that many hens and bullets sold by poultry keepers who were short of feed or of capital passed to others who were in a position to hold them. The voldme of receipts of eggs at cer- tain markets seems to bear out this state ment.

|BARS new SCHOOLS
TILL PEACE RETURNS
War Industries Board Forbids
Construction Of II Build
ings in New York.
MANY WILL LACK SEATS
Sixty Thousand Children Al
ready on Part Time and 49,
600 More Expected.

The War Industries Board placed new
school buildings in the non-essential
class yesterday, and denied the appli-
cation Of the New York Board Of Educa-
ton for approval Of plans calling for new
construction involving an expenditure
of approximately 100000.
The War Boards order means that no
new school buildings may be erected any
where in this country for the duration
of the war. except where the new build
ings are intended to replace those al
ready in use and which are beyond re-
pail. II likewise swept into the discard
the hopes OF the new Board OF Educa-
ton that a start might be made this
year toward providing full time seats
for at least some OF the 10000 New
York children who were on part time
when the schools closed in June.
Allowing for the approximate natural
growth Of the city, it was estimated last
night that $4,000 more children Will
seek admission to the city's schools this
year than were attending them when the
sessions closed in June. For the dura-
ton of the war these and the other chill
dren who will be added to the city's stu
dent population from year to year Will
Just have to be crowded in as best we
can, according 10 FRANK -. Wllsey,
vice-president Of the Board OF Education,
who was informed of the order OF the
War Industries Board by THE sun last
night.
The War Industries Board made Its
ruling after a long inquiry and study
OF the school situation as it affects this
city. The ruling was announced In
Washington TO Arthur s. Somers, presi-
dent of the Board OF Education. and c,
B. J. Snyder superintendent or school
buildings. who went there for final dis
cussion OF the situation. The applica-
ton for permission to proceed with con.
struction OF schools was made several
weeks aRo.
The Board OF Education's building
schedules called for the erection of sew
enteen new school buildings and four
teen additions to buildings already In
use, at an approximate cost of $S.3O5.'
935. The new buildings were planned
eight for Brooklyn. Ave for Queens, one
for Richmond. one for Manhattan and
two for The Bronx. The additions were
to be to seven schools in Brooklyn, three
in Queens. one each in Richmond ant
Manhattan and two In The Bronx.
The schedules were made with view
to providing 100000 additional schoo
seats. thus covering the children already
on part time and the natural growth o.
the city before the new buildings woult
be ready for use. At the close of the
last school year the public school popula
tion was approximately 100000.

FIVE RAIL TICKET

partment Store Lines
Open Tuesday.

The sale OF railroad and sleeping car
tickets to all points Is to be undertaken
by the Railroad Administration along
department store lines at Ave points in

tcrday by George A. Cullen, chairman
Of the Consolidated Ticket Office Com
mittee. Save at the railroad stations
themselves, tickets in the future can be
procured only at the new Government

OF the forty eight individual city ticket

Mr.. Cullen said the new plan would
save S2s9. 900 yearly in rent alone. The
combined rental OF the five new offices
ia only 100000. whereas that OF the
forty eight old establishments amounted
Mr Cullen expected that the four New
York offices would sell $4,000. 900
worth Of tickets annually and that ST.
10000 worth would be disposed of In
Brooklyn.
II think 1t would have been wise for
the railroads to have closed their null
t!ple offices in the city long ago and
adopted some such plan as this. but
doubt II they would ever have done 1t
If the war hadn't forced Governmental

the roads will never go back to the in
! dividual ticket office plan here, even
after the war. Tho old system was
! vasteful and the service given was in
ferior TO what may be expected under
the new plan"
In the new ticket offices, which have
been laid out on liberal scale. the

u. MEN DEMAND
DICTATED PEACE
War Correspondent Says Amer
leans Believe Allies Have
Germans on the Run.

In a talk on the war given last night
by Floyd Gibbons. a war correspondent
to 200 fellow newspaper men who met
him at dinner at the Press Club in this
city, there was missing altogether from
his discourse any reference to those
phases Of the fighting which accounted
for the three wound chevrons on the
sleeve OF his uniform coat. the sling
which supported his left arm and the
surgeons patch over his left eye. the
sight of which was destroyed by bullet
from a machine gun in France.
1t was the burden of Mr.. Gibbons's
discourse that the American troops are
doing well abroad; that they know they
are doing well, and that the Germans
know they are doing well.
II have said this" he said. every
time / have talked var since my re-
turn to the United States. but forgive
me IL say II again. for l have TO say
it again. It's this: Look out for the
great German peace drive next winter
II this country should lend an ear to the
peace propaganda which is surely COM
ing. II would disappoint the boys over
there more than II the nation refused to
send them another soldier and refused
to contribute another cent to another
Liberty Loan"
THE gang on tie other side feels that
II has Germany on the run and II doesn
want to stop fighting until Germany Is
back in Germany. The gang will feel
cheated II there comes any peace which
Is not a dictated peace. Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle. quoted in this morning $
dispatches. voices the right idea when
no says that the only peace worth con-
a., a mara a, hitch shall be signed
in Potsdam."
Somebody interrupted Mr.. Gibbons Ia
ask what opinion seemed to be held by
the German troops regarding the quail
ity of American soldiers.
81 can best answer that" he said
with a little case in point. l talked one
afternoon with German officer of the
medical corps who had been captured
in a dugout. He spoke perfect English
/ if a little deliberately. l asked hin
what he thought OF the American army
! "I do not know the whole American
army he said. 4 never saw an Amer

Concerning the National Army ant
