Manufacturers of Connecti- cut and Western Massa- chusetts so Informed.

Bridgeport, Conn, Oct. 25-Muni- tiens manufacturers of Connecticut and the four counties of western Mas sachusetts were told in plain words today they must speed up production because a crisis exists and it calls for the unlimited exertion by both man ufacturers' and employees. Major B. A. Franklin, U. S. A, production manager of the Bridgeport district, gave the manufacturers some facts that sur prised them and explained that the crisis demands them to strain them selves to the utmost
 Some manufacturers" he said, seem to have the idea that peace is near, and that idea is detrimental to the interests of the government You must remember you have signed con- tracts by which you agreed to deliver to the government definite quantities of goods at definite times, and most of you have not lived up to your con- tracts. A crisis exists and it calls for unlimited exertion on your part, just as it does on the part of your em- ployes."
 H. E.. Miles of the department o1 labor told the men present they ha6 been laggards in solving their labol problems and that the time had come for them to busy themselves. Thirty days ago. he said, the manufacturer of this country were told that within ninety days they must train 500,00t

DEALERS PENALlZED FOR
 PROFTTEERING IN BUTTER

New York, Oct. 25.-The federal food board today ordered eight whole sale dealers in butter and eggs to close their establishments for week, fol- lowing their conviction on charges of profiteering in butter. The dealers also were ordered to refund all over charges to customers and to display posters announcing their offense.
 It was said that all of the convicted dealers offered to make large "vol- untary" contributions to the Red Cross but that this form of expiation was denied them because of the fragrance of their offenSes.
 Following numerous reports of sugar hcarding. the board today adopted a card system to prevent ever pur- ehases and it was announced that the rresent alletment of two pounds a month for each individual may be re duced to Q. pound and a half in order to make up the shortage caused by over purchases.
 The boards statement said that the firms convicted of profiteering in but ter had been guilty of taking excess profits ranging from one fourth cent gins set by the food administration.
 The smallest of the firms, it was said, does an annual business of S150,- GOO year, while the annual receipts of the others range up 70 $2,509, ,009 Each firm, in addition to the other penalties imposed. will be permitted to contribute $1.000 or more to the Red Cross.
 About thirty more wholesale butter dealers will be tried next week or | similar charges. it was announced

COMMONWEALTH FINANCE
 CORPORATION IN TROUBLE

New York, Oct 25.-Removal of Henry D. Tudor president, and Orms- by McHarg, secretary and treasurer, of the Commonwealth Finance cor poration was asked in a suit filed in the supreme court here today by At torney General Mtrton E. Lewis The officers are charged with disbursement of the corporations funds not author ized by it's charter. McHarg formerly was secretary and campaign manager for Theodore Roosevelt.
 The suit, which resulted from a four day hearing at Albany at which Tudor and McHarg refused to produce the books of the corporation, also asks the removal of three directors, Harry L. Burrage, Charles C. Dickson and Charles w. Thomas, charging they failed to give the proper care and oversight to the business of the cor
 poration.
 The petition for removal lists a number of small expenditures alleged to have been made illegally by Tudor and charges that McHarg and other officials of the corporation paid to McHarg in 1917 a salary of $500 not authorized by the charter. The ale gation also is made that "a large
 sum" was withdrawn from the cor
 porations funds and applied to the purchase of stock of questionable value.
 The Commonwealth Finance cor ,, poration is organized under the laws ] of South Dakota, but its principal of | fees are in New York

PHILADELPHIANS BLOCKED
 10 CAMDEN FOR BOOZE"

Philadelphia, Oct. 25.-Alarmed~ by the great crowds of Philadelphians who poured into Camden, N. J., to- night H. H. Davis, president of the Camden board of health, at 10 o'clock tonight issued an order closing every saloon in the city, "in the interest of the public health"
 The saloons had been closed for three weeks owing to the influenza epi- demic, but the ban was lifted shortly before noon today. It was not long afterward that it became necessary for the ferry companies to place in service every available boat to accom- modate the crowds bound for the New Jersey side of the Delaware river. Early in the night extra details of police were called out, but the crowds became so great that Dr. Davis de- cided to again put the bah on. At police headquarters it was said the quarantine would remain in effect until it is liften in Philadelphia.

state of public and private feeling in regard to all matters connected with the war. Possessed of full knowledge of this nature, it is believed the pres ident will be even better prepared than heretofore to deal with every phase of the. complex problems that will arise as soon as negotiations Tor an armistice and peace are fully under way.
 Individual views of the Entente powers are certain to develop as the result of the action of President Will son in boldly stating the war aims of the United States: in fact. it is un- derstood that the president desires to have these disclosed at the earliest possible moment so that a united front on these questions may be presented to the common enemy by prior agree ment among the countries fighting the Central Powers.
 Later Colonel House may take a place at the council table if President Wilson desires. The president has a vote in the council in the disposition Of political matters and it is regarded as possible that he may delegate this power to Colonel House.

He included in the Poles task the liberation of Warsaw, Cracow, Lwow (Leberg) Posan (Po- sen) and Gdansk (Dantzig) with other. cities of the ancient realm General de Castelnas of the French army utilized the occasion to salute the reconstructed Polish forces. General Hallers exploit in leading his Polish regiment out of the Aus trian army, in which he was colo nel, was carried out in the face of a terrific artillery and machines gun fire With his men he joined the Polish army corps in Russia and the two units fought five-day battle with German forces whose commanders broke an arrangement of armistice Surrounded by Germans and BoI- 1 sheviki, General Haller effected 2 night retreat across the Dnieper an6 finally reached the Czecho- Sloval 1 forces in southen Russia.
