To slaughter these reserves IN an
other vain pursuit Of the phantom Of
q German victory will certainly mark
Hindenburg's reputation for destruc-
ton Yet It is impossible to say the
German militarists will not sanction
this fnal madness. They are stiIl the
same reckless group who defied Amer
lea with their piratical policy Of in
discriminate submarining-the most
depraved and futile gamble with q
great nations destiny In modern his
tory.
During the past week the German
Socialists have demanded that the
government make plain its peace pol
icy. No response has been returned
by Chancellor Won Hertling. The
Berlin vorwaerts, Germany's leading
Socialist newspaper. is attempting to
raise the slogan OF peace with
honor One OF the terrible penalties,
however, of Germany's criminal con-
duct during the past four years II
that civilization, for its own protec-
ton, cannot accept any protestations
of honorable intentions from the Ho-
henzoIIern regime. This punishment
Is automatic ard relentless. Germany
will realize its full meaning as the
war presses to a final accounting be-
tween the militArists and democra-
cies.

AMERICAN BATTERIES
ARE DOING GOOD WORK

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Jones receiv-
ed letter last Sunday from their son
Roy, who Is a member of Battery B,
now In France The letter was writ
ten on Sunday evening, Aug. 18th,
and from 1t we publish the following:
This Ia sure a beautiful evening.
We have just eaten supper and every
thing Is nice and quiet. l am sitting
by my shelter tent writing this. We
have Just come back from our first
trip to the front. We were up there
over month. The part OF the coun-
try we were fighting In was pretty but
the villages were all torn to pieces
by heavy shells. We passed through
several towns that our regiment had
shelled and we sure did good work as
there was not house that had not
been torn to pieces. The houses over
here are all made or rock and then
cemented over. The churches set in
the center of the towns and make
fine targets. The Americans shoot
at the churches, but the French never
do--they are too religious.
We saw several air battles while
we were on the front. One evening
while we were eating supper battle
started over our heads. Two Ger
man planes were forced to land and
one American. The other German
planes few back over their lines as
the allied planes were too much for
them.
One thing like about this rest Ia,
we can go to bed at night and know
that we will not have to get up and
fire 70 put on those measly gas
masks. They sure are awful things
to wear-only one thing worse and
that is to be gasse d. Well, | do not
think 1t will be many months until we
have the weeds" out of the German
race and peace restored again. Then
back to the good old United States
II is the only country in the world.

SOLDIER VOTERS
OF CONNECTICUT
TO CAST BALLOTS

Hartford, Feb. ,S.-Gov. Holcomb is
sued today proclamation convokng
the general assembly in special ses-
sion on March 10. It is as follows:
Whereas thousands of the qualified
electors of the state of Connecticut
are in the military service of the
United States, and in consequence
thereof are now and during the con-
tinuance of the present war will be
absent from this state and will be de-
prived of exercising their rights as
electors unless legislation is enacted
giving them an opportunity to vote at
the elections to be held on the Tues
day after the first Monday of Novem-
Der, 1918, and at said November cleo
tions biennially thereafter during the
continuance of the war, I therefore
decide and find that this condition
constitutes a special emergency with
in the provisions of the constitution
of this state, and authorizes me to
convene the general assembly in spe-
cial session for the purpose of enact
ing legislation which will enable said
electors, who are absent from the
state in the military service of the
United States, to vote at said Novem-
Der elections.
ST, therefore, for said purpose
hereby convene the general assembly
of Connecticut in special session t.
be held at the state capitol in Hart
ford, on the third Tuesday of March

MARKET FOR
SOFT CORN IS
NOT DESTROYED

Washington, D. C. Feb. S.-The
closing of many distilleries under the
food control act has not destroyed the
market for soft corn, according to a
statement from the Bureau of Mar
kets, United States Department of Ag-
riculture, which has made a survey of
grain-drying plants now in operation
and under construction at 80 termin-
al points.
The survey shows 154 grain driers
in operation and II under construc-
ton, aside from the few distilleries
still running. The combined capacity
OF the grain driers is about 100000
bushels of corn every "a hours. The
department states that this survey
probably does not include all plants,
but is inclusive enough to allay ru-
ors that there would be no market
for soft corn.
An unusual amount of soft corn
was harvested in 1917, because OF
early frosts and cool, wet weather in
September and October. It can be
sold direct to grain driers, says the
department, or in many markets can
be dried for the producer at cost of
three-quarters to two and one-halt
cents a busheI and sold in dried con-
clifton Owing to present transporta-
ticn difficulties, it is recommended
that farmers and country shippers de-
| lay the movement of soft corn unless
conditions at the terminal market are
favorable. The greatest return for
soft corn is said to be received when
| i is fed to stock on the farm.

WILL GUARANTEE
.S945,OOO,OOO TO
U. S. RAILROADS

Washington, Feb. Chairman
Smith of the senate interstate COM
merce committee in reporting favor
ably to the senate today the admin
istration railroad bill, estimated that
under the measures provisions the
government will guarantee annually
to the railroads of the country $685.
100000, which will represent a re-
turn of 70 per cent This he says
reflects neither poverty nor riches
but the committee believes a majority
of the railroads will accept these
terms as just and fair measure of
their constitutional rights
An agreement ON the bill was reach
ed by the committee last Saturday,
but minority reports are to be sub
mitted by Senators Cummins and La
Toilette. Administration leaders
plan to call the bill up for consider
alton next Monday.
Your committee is of the opinion
that this is the time for war emer-
gency legislation and not the time 20
settle the many controversial and
Vexed questions concerning our fu-
ture transportation policy" Chairman
Smith says in prefac1ng his report.
He then takes up the compensation
section and adds:
About IS great operating railroads
do over 80 per cent. of the railroad
business. The committee believes
that most of these great carriers will
accept these terms as a just and fail
measure of their constitutional
rights"

FARM PRODUCTS
VALUE IN 1917
$I9,443,S49,OO

The value Of farm products of the
United States for the year 1917 reach
the tremendous and unprecedented
sum Of $19, 443,849, 900 an increase of
more than six billion over the values
of 1915 and almost nine billion more
than 1915.
The Department CT Agriculture has
just issued a preliminary estimate for
last year showing crop values of s13,-
610, 463, 900, representing 70 per cent.
of the value of all farm products for
the year, and S33,3S6.060, the value
of animals and animal products of
our farms.
BY far the greatest and best Gus
toners of the farmers of the country
now are the United States and our
Allies. The money Used by all of
these governments m purchasing the
products of American farms is raised
| by the sale of Liberty Bonds. Part is
spent by the United States itself and
part loaned to our Allies. n lending
to the United States, therefore, the
American farmer is simply enabling
| its best customers to purchase his
products and receiving in return the
best security in the world. Good bust
ness as well as patriotism urges the
| farmers of America to literally SUP.
port the financial undertakings of the
| government.

1SINKERS" AND
PIES SAVED BY
HOOVER RULING

Washington, Feb. s - The pie,
famed in the culinary annals of New
England, has been saved from i'm
pending disaster.
Food Administrator Hoover was
Boftened yesterday by the stories
brought to him by New England pie
makers, that an adherence to the two
wheatless days in the pie making in
dustry meant ruin for many eating
places.
The Food Administrator then modi-
fed his ruling, so far as the pie and
doughnut factories are concerned
Pies and doughnuts can be served
each day in the week provided they
are made every day from coughs tha2
contain one-third non-wheat -four.
Delegations of New England pie
makers told Mr.. Hoover that in
great many of the 1unchrooms the
principal income was derived from
pies and doughnuts. When the one
third wheat saving program is fol-
lowed throughout the week, the eats
ing places will be allowed to adver~
tise that they serve Victory pies"
and Victory doughnuts."
A telegram was sent to all hotel
representatives. of the Food Admins.
tration yesterday, telling of the change
| of regulations to meet the situation
in the pie and doughnut trade.
Ice Shortage Feared.
Possibilities of serious anmonia
shortage and a consequent curtail-
ment of artificial ice Manufacture
next summer were suggested by the
|
to reports that production is ample.
A statement was made as follows:
''The attention of the Food Admin
istration was called to articles ap-
pearing in various New York papers
by which it is indicated that plenty
| of ammonia will be available to make
| ice next summer, that there will be
no Communicating on ammonia in
| New York and that there will be suf-
ficient supply of the commodity to
permit the manufacture of the GUS
| tomary amount of artificial ice.
1.-THE government cannot give as.
surance that there will be a sufficient
supply of ammonia, nor that the man
ufacture of the customary amount OF
! artificial ice will be possible. There
is danger of a serious shortage of
ammonia and steps are being taken to
have as large as possible harvest
of natural ice to meet any possible
| shortage of artificial ice.'
Confer on Eggs and Poultry.
/ Representatives of the egg and
poultry trade, after a conference with
Food Administration officials, named
a general committee for each trade
to draw up definite agreements regu-
Iating the prices and distribution OF
the commodities they handle. If &C
ceptable to the Food Adninistra-
ton, they will be put voluntarily into
force.
Chief among the reforms sought by
the administration are the elimina-
ton of unnecessary handling and tbs
abolition of specializing.
To provide financial relief for the
drought stricken area of Texas, Sec,
rotary McAdoo yesterday announced
that he would deposit government
funds in Texas banks, if the Dallas
Federal Reserve Bank cannot supply
sufficient credit through it's ordinary
channels.

.DU POINT RANKED
ASLARCESTHOTEL.
OWNER IN THEU.S.

The purchase by General T. Cole
man du Pont of the Waldorf-Astoria
makes him one of the largest, if not
the largest hotel owner in the United
States, and L. M. Boomer, president
of the company, now has the manage
ment of what is probably the most
valuable series of hotels and restaur-
ants in the world.
General du Pont is now heavily in
terested in the Waldorf-Astoria, the
| Hotel McAlpin the Hotel Claridge,
and the Hotel du Pont in Wilmington,
| and is reported to be interested in
the Hotel Taft in New Haven. Prop
critics under the direction of L. NJ.
| Boomer, who has been closely asso-
| ciated in business with General du
| Pont for several years, are the hotels
above named, their restaurants and
| the Cafe Savarin in the Equitable
building.
Mr.. Boomer, who was hotel clerk
a few years ago, is in his early for
ties. His only rival in the extent of
the properties, which he manages, is
John NICE. Bowman, who directs the
management of the Hotel Biltmore,
the Ansonia and the Manhattan and
is interested in large hotel under
construction in Atlantic City.
George c. Boldt, Jr., who still re-
tains large investment in the Wal
dorf-Astoria, is the chairman of the
now owning the Waldorf Astoria.
Mr. Boldt said yesterday:
| 1.-The sale of a large interest in the
company running the Waldorf
Astoria was not made suddenly. AS a
matter of fact, my father had con-
sidered it many times before his
death. Our first discussion of the
subject took place about five years
ago. My reason for making the sale
was that 1 wished to relieve myself
: of the enormous work which the
management of the hotel has involv-
ed, so that I could devote my atten-
ton to other affairs in connection
with my fathers estate. The deal in
no way involves the Bellevue-Strat-
, ford Hotel at Philadelphia, which be-
longs to the estate. The estate also
; retains the business of the Waldorf
, Astoria importing and cigar compan-
les.
while the deal had been Aunder
discussion for some time, it was not
concluded until about II o'clock Sat
urday night, and the new company
has not even had new name yet.
FI am not at Liberty to name the
price, except to say that it runs into
seven figures. The work which
have done in connection with the no
