GROWN PRINCE FOILED
Stubborn Resistance of French Make His March Toward Compiegne Very Slow and He Loses Heavily.

London, June 14.-The Crown Prince continues his desperate at tempts to overcome the difficult forest regions barring his way into the Disc valley and although by heavy fighting he gets little nearer to Compiegne his progress is very slow.
 Thursdays reports are considered satisfactory by observers here. The enemy has progressed about a mife on very narrow front northeast of Nillers-COtterets but the French troops are showing such determina- tion and Valor in counter attacks that although reports from Paris intimate it may be necessary to give further ground in face of superior numbers, there exists spirit of quiet conR- dence and trust in Gen. Foch's pru4 dent handling of the situation.
 The French and German communi- ques indicate the terrible nature of the struggle that is proceeding the Germans having to admit loss of some guns.

Amid his house of Chaos, stripp'd, he
 stands, Writhing in agony and deadly tolls. Where from his shatter'd gate and
 crumbling wall Bondage and Anarchy, twin ser-
 pents, crawl And bind him in their sinuous coils; A giant with fast failing strength Wrapp'd in that slow, contracting
 1ength Vainly he struggles in the tightening
 grip With stare or horror and with froth That tasted Freedoms cup but yes-
 terdav, One deep. exhilarating draugf7+, now
 dash'd away; Yet from those loathsome circles
 wound, One arm high lifted. still unbound, Holds in it's hand the fateful key That locks for good or i'll the whole
 worlds destiny. Ah, who that pleading hand shall
 take And help those horrent letters break? U tIOu, Afnerlc1, strong ana great! Crusader for the right. Canst thou
 not see Those agonizing eyes that look to
 thee? Think not he writhes In torture there
 alone Those coils that bind his fate bind, 700, thine own! Awaket Arise, nor leave him to
 despair, Help that fast failing strength to
 rouse and tear And crush the awful monsters meath
 his heel And grind to dust ere yet fore'er too
 late, Those tightening coils turn Into steel,

WHEAT BECOMING SCARCE
Administrator Scoville Urges Women To Buy Substitutes From Over. stocked Grocery Stores.

Hartford, June 1.-The food ad- uinistration is again sending outr warning that wheat is low in the bin and urges greater economy on tFia side to prevent serious want lover there." This shortage comes at q time when America may easily ga without wheat and stores are well supplied with substitute cereals and oversupplied with cornmeal. Skip. ments caught in the winter traffic congestion have arrived all at oncd end will result in heavy cornmeal losses unless American commonsensa rallies to prevent meal from spoiling.
 Now IS the time for every house. keeper to do her part by the grocer and relieve him of his over-stock. iu the opinion of the Federal Food ad- ministrator for Connecticut, and thus fulfill her duty to her neighbors in America and those across the sea by preventing a waste of breadstuffs The world food situation calls for con. stant war on waste. and waste in the grocery store must be prevented as well as waste in the kitchen.

GEN. MARCH AT WEST POINT

GEN. MARCH AT WEST POINT.
 In his address to the graduating class at West Point, General March officers of the United States army that upon them will rest a great re- sponsibility when they make their appearance on the West front in charge of American army units. The Generals appeal to the graduates was full of feeling and one could well imagine that the speaker envied his hearers, whose privilege is soon will be to cross the seas and take part in the colossal struggle against the Hun. And while his remarks were intended for the benefit of the graduates of our Military Academy, they merit the attention of every man in the army and of every man eligible for service.
 The concluding phrases of General March's address are especially com- mendable. They were as follows:
 The war in Europe has shown
 finally and conclusively that per
 sonal courage is the commonest
 attribute of mankind. All nations
 have it. It is not dependent up-
 on traditions, ancestors, or the
 righteousness of the cause for
 which men fight. The regular,
 the volunteer the drafted man,
 all have it. So in order to take ~
 your proper place in the military
 machine, to make a proper re-
 Tpit
 education and training, it is not
 sufficient to fight bravely and to
 die gallantly You will find that
 your associates, from whatever
 source taken, will do that as we'll
 as you. You will be confronted
 by perfectly organized military
 machine That machine is going
 to be smashed and the only way
 1t can be smashed is by superior
 leadership on our part.
 The last sentence is significant. coming as 1t does from a high mill tary authority who enjoys the conh- dence of General Pershing and who has personally visited the scene of battle where the young men from West Point will soon be engaged. It contains a note of confidence, and is the more inspiring because the speak CT is fully aware of the power of the enemy. Telling those young men that they can help smash a 'perfectly or ganized military machine" is at once 8. splendid send-off and a tribute to their ability.

THANKS, CONGRESSMAN.

Commuters and others who have occasion to travel daily between this city and Hartford were overjoyed at the announcement made late yester- day afternon and confirmed today by New Haven railroad officials that the the Capital City, inaugurated last Monday, is to be reduced again. Whereas the old rate used to be ten cents for a ticket to Hartford, it has cost, since last Monday, just three times that amount Needless to say, this increase of two hundred per cent. played havoc with the pocket books of folks who work for living. But there is man down in Washing ton who has proven himself on for mer occasions to be ready to assist the neople in troublesome times, and he did not fail them when this new burden was placed on their shoulders. Congressman Lonergan. upon learn ing of the proposed increase In rates, SoC III IOoNii Fie1i t11C railroad administration in Washing ton., pointed out the .hardships which would accrue if tha price of tickets on suburban lines were raised, ard now comes the pleasing announce ment from railroad headquarters that the price of 8, trip to Hartford on the "dinkey" will he only II cents, which is only one cent more than the orig inal price.
 This is one of the best bits of work the hustling Congressman has ever put through. He has established him. self by it more firmly than ever in the minds of his constituents. and we are sure that they are more convinced than ever that Gus Lonergan is the most efficient and energetic represen- tative this district has sent to Wash ington in a long time. The people admire a man who gets things done, and that is Congressman Lonergan's specially.

many DlaLe& . ploEate cOnven- fiOn has the especial slenifiCance of being Introductory to a tight at the
 polls. but in New Britain the e5- recial significance of the Berlin pro- bate convention is that the present incumbent, Hon. E. F. Gaffney, will undoubtedly be nominated by both the republicans and the democrats. thus assuring him of election without contest, one of the most significant tributes a public can bestOw upon any official. Judge Gaffney has pre- sided over the Berlin probate court for a number of years and the fact that he has incurred the dispIeasure Of neither the republicans nor the democrats, while he has filled this most important position with skill, wisdom and with the keen discern ment of the close student of human hature speaks eloQuently Of his abil- lty as member Of the bar and as valuable citizen of the common wealth. Judge Gaffney is affiliated with the democratic party, but when the probate judgeship comes Up party lines have been swept away in the past, even as they will be this fall, and both parties unite in endorsing him. This year the republican pro- bate delegate are James Desmond, George P. Spear, Bronislaw Karpin~ ski and William Allen and there is every reason to believe that their names mean only four solid votes for the judge. Berlin of course has four votes too, but the judge is as popu- lar in the mother town as he is here and when the final vote is taken it will be a great surprise if eight votes are not cast for Judge Ganney.
