U-BOAT WARP ARE SUCCESSFUL, IS
 BERLIN'S VIEW

Amsterdam, Feb. 5.-A dispatch re- ceived here today from Berlin gives the German reply to the statement last week of Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the British admiralty, who in re- viewing the first year of unrestricted submarine warfare said the submar- inc menace was held, that the sink ing of merchantmen was decreasing and that the destruction of submar- ines was increasing, and that the
 morale of the submarine crews was Geteriorating on account of the Brit ish policy of secrecy in regard to the fate of the men on submarines which failed to return to their bases. The German reply, in the form of a semi official statement, follows:
 What Sir Eric Geddes said is not new, It is merely repetition of fla miliar assertions which are disproved by the facts and appear periodically in the speeches of talkative wire pull CTS in England. If that brave op- timist Geddes expects by such means to lower the morale and the power of resistance of our U-boat crews he will have as little success as has been met with in the attempts to bluff the German people, who long ago re- alized English secrecy was nothing but an expression of consciousness of weakness"

AVIATORS' AMBITION
 TO FIGHT IN CLOUDS

The ne plus ultra of the air ser vice is the pilot of the combat ma
 chine" according to a leading Ameri- can authority, Henry Woodhouse, who
 reminds us in Everybody's for Janu-
 ary of Lord Kitchener's dictum that
 "a well-trained aviator is worth an
 army corps" '"The daily life of such
 a pilot continues MT. Woodhouse,
 'consists of a series of duels with
 Boches. The gunners of large bomb
 ing machines have an equally adven turous life,' as they are usually at
 tackled whenever they go on raids over German territory, but most aviators prefer to pilot combat machines and go hunting Huns. Now that the use of large machines with two gunners, pilot and an operator for photo graphing and directing artillery fire is becoming general practise, every man stands chance of showing how good marksman he is from an aeroplane, and good record leads to transfer to l the combat squadron. This is the work which, through the sheer thrill | ing adventure and the natural gall l lantry and courage which go with it, | has gathered in the finest flower of
 daring from all the fighting coun- | tries"

ITALIANS HONOR
 HEROIC BRIGADE
 LEAVING TRENCH


 Italian Headquarters in Northern Italy, Sunday. Feb. 3-(By the Asso- ciated Press) )-The Sassari brigade of young Sardiniansy which distinguish ed itself by cutting it's way up the Col di Rosso last Tuesday, came out of the trenches today.
 It was an event that stirred the nighboring country and the peas antry, with children and babies, came from 50 miles around, to see these young heroes. The city was gay with flags, the walls were covered with posters, Hail Sassari Heroes!' and children carried flowers to strew along the route of their march.
 The brigade marched 20 miles from it's trenches and it was an inspiring sight as the boyish-looking soldiers came down the road. Their helmets and uniforms were still splashed with the mud of the big fight, but they marched proudly and appeared happy over the enthusiastic tribute.
 Brig. Gen. Ferrigo, commander of the brigade. marched at the head with a group of wounded officers with heads handaged and arms in sings. Then came the machine gun sections and the long ranks of sturdy youths. One regiment was command ed by a major who took the place of the colonel who was killed in Tues days fighting. A squadron of aero-- planes hovered overhead, scattering confetti on the victors.
 Gen. Pecori Giraldi, commander of the First army, was at the head of the reviewing party. He was accom- panied by officers of the Allied staffs, high government and municipal off, cials and representatives of civic or ganizations, while the thoroughfares were thronged with cheering people.

ROCKIES ARE AFTER
 THE KAISER'S SCALP

Edward Hungerford, who visited the cantonments of the National Army to prepare a series of articles, gives us some interesting sidelights on the recruits point of view in Everybody's for January. ''The South" MT. Hungerford found, took the war as a rather personal dispute to be settled by two gentlmen-and two heavy revolvers-at the earliest opportunity. There were merchants and bankers of repute. not only in Kentucky, but in Missouri and in other dignified old commonwee-.ths, who offered prizes ranging all the way from $T,000 to $10,000, to the American soldier who first should bring the Kaiser's body in as his per- sonal booty And the gentleman from the 'gas-house gang who rode beside me in the conscript train to Yaphank assured me that he expect ed to bring back the Kaiser's ear in his teeth-a feat for which he has had some rehearsal"

RETURN LOAD" PLAN IN FAVOR
 THROUGH EAST

Hartford, Feb. 5-After confer ed by representative of five eastern states and the federal government, it was decided to recommend to the state councils of New York, Massachu- setts, New Jersey and Pennsylvania that they put into operation war time transportation system modelled upon the return load" plan success fully tried out by the Connecticut State Council of Defense. The con- ference was attended by Charles J. Bennett, a member of the committee on transportation of the Connecticut Defense Council, and number of transportation experts and state and national defense council representa- tives, including J. S. Cravens of the state councils section of the Council of National Defense, George H. Pride of the highways transport committee of the national council and David s. Ludlum, president of the Autocar company.
 MT. Bennett explained the workings of the return load" plan and left with each of the men attending the meeting map showing highway routes already esta blished in this state. It was decided not only to recommend the establishment of simil- ar routes in the other states repre- sented at the conference but to con- sider the advisability of making each states service inter-related and CO., operative as far as possible.
 The Connecticut return load sys- tenn has already been in demand for transportation between New York city and points in this state. The vately owned trucks of Connecticut for the cooperative service, in emer- gencies, of other shippers than the owners of the trucks. Shippers and ether truck owners who make inter urban trips on which they carry loads only one way are asked to register at return load burdens in the chief industrial centers. They are then provided with loads for their return trips and are paid by the shipper whose goods are thus moved. TC make it easier for truckmen to get sir touch with shippers, arrangements have been made with the Southern New England Telephone Co.,, whereby the truckman has merely to ask cen traI for Return Load in cities where most of the return load bur eaus exist to be connected with the bureaus. The truckmen have beer instructed to notify the bureaus il the towns to which they make their outgoing trips the day before so tha return loads will be r"ady for then when they arrive.
 Thus far nine return load bureau: have been established. Others art being organized and will be ready fol business in the near future. The ex isting bureaus, their locations an( telephone calls are as follows: dgeport-Chamber of Commerce telephone, Noble 250.
 Bristol-Chamber of Commerce telephone, 100.
