WINCHESTER ARMS
HAS BANNER YEAR
Flags Fly and People Are Heartencd
BY Prospect of Facing One Less
Enemy.

Amsterdam, Feb. 14.-Flags are
flying everywhere in Austria, accord
ing TO advices from Vienna, and
Thanksgiving services are being ar
ranged to celebrate the news of
Trotzky's declaration that the war
between the Central Powers and Rus
STA is ended.
The Vienna official news agency as
scribes the reversal in the attitude of
the Russian government to the fact
that peace was concluded between the
Central Powers and Ukraine, and eX-
presses the conviction that as a result
of this peace there will be strong
reaction on the war in the west, The
agency adds:
The termination of the war is at
last obtained by the diplomacy of the
Central Powers, and there is no need
to be discouraged by the form chosen
by Russia for the announcement Of
peace"
Referring to the economic agree
ments, the Austrian papers Indicate
that while exaggerated hopes are not
justified. it may be expected that OF
a two years harvest, at the least
which could not be exported from
Ukraine there are still considerable
stocks, and that about one million
tons will be available. In this con-
nection, however, the papers point out
the difficulties of transport which
must first be reckoned with.

LOOKS LIKE 2O1A MILLS.
Board of Finance Committee Strug-
Cling With Tax Rate for Year.

Present indications are that unless
some drastic slashes in the depart
mental appropriations are made the
city's tax rate for the coming year
will be 2Oh mills instead Of tho 20
mills that it was last year, The sub
committee of the board of finance and
taxation held a lengthy session yes
tcrday afternoon, going over the esti-
mates and met again at O'CLOCK
this afternoon to prepare the report
which will be presented to the f1nance
board tomorrow night.
II is said that Mayor Quigley is
discouraged at the increasing tax rate
and NAV recommend slashing to get
il down to 20 mills or possibly to
1qh mills. Members of the depart
ments. and also those on the finance
committee, state however, that If the
rItv is to keep pace with the tim es
and with the needed improvements
fhe money must be forthcoming re-
CARELESS of the tax rate. At the pres
nnt time it seems as though, should
an attempt be made to slash the es-
Inmates, the $4,000 appropriation for
= trolley waiting station, $1,000 for
the macadamizing of Broad street
and s12,250 for new aerial truck
FOR the fire department may feel the
pruning shears. The mayor Is
avowedly opposed to doing any un-
necessary street work with labor and
materials as high as they are now
and his idea is to keep the present
,treets in repair, rather than branch
nto any new work.

Hartford February 14.-Au local

information given out today by State
Diret tor Leo A. korper. Enrollmen
blanks and pledge cards have been
mailed from Hartford to every war
bureau and town committee of the
defense council and these agencies
have information concerning the need
of men for sniryard volunteers. Con

TIL ,se enrollrnents arc being car
ried on by MI. korper and the Sta'o
council of defense in cooperation Nir'
Korper made public today the follow
ing telegram which he received from
Secretary of Labor Wilson, outlining
the shipyard lager situation:-
THE immediate labor needs or the
shipyards are comparatively hlled ana
the man who leaves his present posi-
ton to seek employment in snip
yard is likely to find no work. Inc
coming weeks and months however
will nccessitate the increase or the
present number of shpyards workers
by several hundred thousand men
who have had experience in trades
used in shiphuilding.
The Department OF Labor, with the
aid of the shipping board, the Council
Of National Defense and the state
councils Of defense, now is enrolling
in its United States Public Service re-
serve men of these trades who are
willing to go to a shipyard when they
are advised of a place.
The shipyard volunteers in the Pub
lie Service reserve will be placed
through the United States employ
ment service of the department of
labor which will have full details as
to when and where the men are
needed the wages and housing, and
other conditions. Membership in the
reserve brings official recognition Of
performance of or the readiness to
perform a most necessary and pa
triotic service. 1t also protects both
employers and workers for it mini
mixes the drain on industry for the
supplying of the shipyards and puts
the wage Garner where he can utilize
to the fullest extent his ability and
brain power.
1--WE appeal to all qualified men to
enroll during this coming week in the
reserve and to stick to their present
jobs until they are called.
