Hartford, Jan. 15-"F'ive hundred thousand war savers in Connecticut before February 1,'' is the slogan which has been suggested at the of fee of the State Director of the Connecticut War Savings committee to indicate the mark at which this state is to aim in the war savings campaign, now in progress
 To assist in the plans of the State Direcsor many of the forces in the state which have made past cam paigns successes, have been enlisted, and already success is predicted. Af- ter the 5OO,0OO mark is passed an at tempt will be made to increase the number to at least 800,000, with the ultimate hope of enisting million savers. Assisting in the project are all the forces of the Connecticut State Council of Defense, women's organiza- tions, schools, factories, fraternal so- cieties and other factors.
 Connecticut's total allotment which this state is expected to raise by the sale of thrift stamps and war savings certificates by January 1, 1919, is 26,O0O,OO0, an average of almost s25 per capita The task is a tremen- dous ono. but those in charge predict success.

 As m emergency measure the pub lie schools of the city did not open today, the board of education having decided that the boys could render valuable service in clearing away the snow.
 Every one of the 27 steam railroads entering Chicago resumed limited ser vice today, but officials said it would be at least two days more before any thing like normal passengers sched- ules could be established and perhaps a week would elapse before movement of freight trains could be put back on the same basis as before the storm.
 Every ton of coal in the railroad yards was communicated by County Fuel Administrator Raymond D. Dur ham and orders were given to the railroads to divert coal on the tracks to the most available yard or team track.

ALLIES CUT OFF APPROPRIATIONS
 INTO HUN HANDS

Washington, Jan. 14 - Germany's imports of food have been stopped, not only by prohibition of re-export of food supplies sold to neutrals but also by Allied control of products used in shipping foods grown wholly within those countries, according to consular reports today. Advertise ments for German twine appearing recently in Danish papers revealed that exports of preserves to Germany had been shut off because twine used in the packing was sold by the Allies under agreement that it should not be re-exported. German twine had to be obtained before orders could be filled
 Similarly condensed milk ship ments were stopped by forbidding re- exportation of cork tops. Wood eventually was substituted
 All dairy products sold to Germany have been reduced in quantity by shortage of cattle -aed which necessi- tated slaughtering of many cows in Holland and Denmark

DEFENSE COUNCIL IS COOPERATING
 WITH RED CROSS

Hartford, Jan. 15-The Connecticut State Council of Defense and it's agencies in towns and cities through out the state are working in closest cooperation with the American Red Cross. Inquiry at the councils head quarters at the State Capitol today revealed that all the war bureaus and town committees repre- -enting the council have been instructed to work in closest cooperation with the Home Service Section of the Red Cross in their localities.
 All work for the welfare of the fam flies of men and officers in the armed service of the United States and it's allies and of their families resident in this country, which is the field of work which the Home Service Section of the Red Cross is authorized to cover, is to be referred to the local section of the Red Cross, the council has ruled Any relief or charitable work outside of this field to be under taken by Q war bureau, the council has directed, should be entrusted to a committee, distinct from the Red Cross Home Service Section Commit tee.
 In this way, the council hopes to guard against any confiction or du- plication of work in the ded of the Red Cross, at the same time making available to local branches of that national organization the large amount of data which has been and will be collected by the councils local agents and which will be of great value in the work to be done.
 In a recent letter to the council, AL exander w. Wilson of New York, di- rector of civilian relief of the Atlantic Division of the Red Cross, wrote:

Paris, Jan. 15 - The arrest yesterday of former Premier CaillauX was due principally to a cablegram from Secretary Lansing in Washington.
 Secretary Lansing's cable. gram said that the American representative in Buenos Aire: had been able to establish that Caillaux, during his visit to Ar gentina in 1915, had been in communication with the Berlin foreign office through Count won Luxburg, then German minister to Argentina, with the object of concluding peace with Germany at any price, so as to permit the resumption of business.

 The investigation of the Italian con- nections of former Prem. Cailaux, who was arrested yesterday, is said by the Matin to have resulted in the discov- cry of important military and politi- cal papers in the safe of the bank in Florence which was rented under the maiden name of Madame Caillaux and used by the former president during his visit to Italy in December 1916.
 Among the political papers found in the safe, the newspaper asserts, were several of notes in which M. Cafllaux in the expectation of gaining office as premier, drafted a cabinet, designated a generalissimo and sketched various exceptional measures, These meas ures included the arrest of certain politicians and generals, among whom Premier Clemenceau is said to have been one, and the dismissal of several officials.
 In addition to these, says the Matin, there were documents of a military character which by their very nature seem to constitute the strongest evi- denec against M. Caillaux
 Washington, Jan. 15.-Secretary Lansing today refused to affirm or depy'~ or comment on the Paris dis watch. There seems to be no doubt, however, that some such dispatch is contained in the captured Iduxburg correspondence Early today there was no immediate prospect of it's be- ing given out for publication here.

'FThe steam railroads and other transportation facilities gre loaded beyond their capacity. Added to this, the difficulty of securing la bor and the future intensive transpor- tation of coal and munitions would seem to indicate the necessity for fu- ture development and use of the high ways by motor truck. Consequently, it seems that the work of this depart ment is highly important and not to be classed with the unnecessary and unessential things to be discontinued because we are at war;
