Striking evidence of this govern
ments "big brother attitude toward
the smaller American republics was
presented in the house of representa-
tives when there was up for considera-
ton a bill to authorize compensation
from the Santo Domingo treasury of
officers and enlisted men of the Unit
ed States navy and marine corps now
assisting in the administration of that
country's affairs. In the course of
discussion Congressman Padgett of
Tennessee, chairman of the committee
on naval affairs, who recently visited
Santo Domingo with other members of
the committee, summed up the work
done by these officers while speaking
in favor of the bill.
"They have" he said, "the whole al
ministration of that government there.
They are organizing constabulary.
looking after the civil administration.
They have displaced the legislative
body, and the president placed Admiral
Knapp in charge there as naval gov
ernor, and we have the whole admin
istration of the island and the repnb-
lie of Santo Domingo"
Padgett stated further that year
ago there was only $4,000 in the Do
minican treasury. while there is now
on hand $1,25O,O00

 Between Siessome and Chateau Porcien the French, breaking up the enemy resistance, carried their line forward on 8 front of four and one half miles to a depth of two miles at certain points through the positions prepared by the Germans in 1917.
 The statement follows:
 During the night there was heavy artillery fighting between the Disc and the serre. Contact was maintain ed with the enemy all along the front reached yesterday.
 East of the Souche the night was marked by energetic reactions on the part of the enemy infantry. Rather lively fighting occurred especially in the outskirts of Petit Caumont. In spite of German counter attacks the French maintained their positions east of the river.
 "The battle continued until the end of the day between Sissonne and Ga teau The French, breaking up the resistance of the Germans carried tho strong positions organized in 1917 and which the Germans had continued | to reinforce between Banogne, Re couvrance and the Herpy mill on a front of seven kilometres attainins 8 depth of three kilometres at certain | points.

 Owing to the extent of the epidemic of Spanish influenza now prevailing in this country and consequent diff ficulty of persons in getting imme- diate medical attention. and medica- ments upon prescriptions issued by physicians, the provisions of Article Ii of Regulations No. 35, prohibiting the refIling of narcotic prescriptions are modified as follows:
 Prescriptions calling for morphine, codeine, or heroin, which are writ ten by registered practitioners for pa- tents suffering from Spanish influenza and any pulmonary or bronchial affec- tions, may, until further notice, be re- filled, provided that at the time of is- suance by physicians instructions are noted in the body of such prescrip- tions, Repeat if necessary" and the druggist filling and rehlling the same shall note thereon each and every ! date upon which such prescription | is reflled.

U. s. CHOOSES COOPER TO
 REPRESENT CONNECTICUT
 RETAIL BUSINESS HOUSES

Andrew M. Cooper, vice president of the Rowland Dry Goods Company, has been elected Connecticut chair man, and also state representative on the National War Service Commit tee of the retail dry goods and de- pertinent stores of the station. Notice of the election was received yester- day by MT. Cooper from Herbert J. Tily of Philadelphia, chairman of the committee.
 The War Service Committee was created at a meeting held in Wash ington the first of this month at the suggestion of the War Industries Board. It's work during the continu- ance of the war will be of much i'm portance. For example, in Bridgeport alone at least 5000 retail stores will be affected by its recommendations and 1t will work in cooperation with both the fuel and food administra- tions.
 The national government called on the large retail interests of the coun- try to give it the benefit of the mer- | chants experience and knowledge in meeting the problems of regulating 1 business. This meant 1t wanted to ] know the merchants side of such questions as hours during which stores | should be open, matters of fixing 1 prices, and so on. Instead of going ahead and making an error, and then l finding out how it world work out, | the War Industries Board decided to | get as much information as possible ! before taking action. MT. Cooper's appointment places him at the head of the machinery for this purpose in 1 Connecticut.
 He is to appoint a State War Ser vice comittee made up of at least three men. Working with these, there will be appointed a chairman for each county and the committee will be completed by local chairman in each county and town and village where there is a business center. Through this committee, mer- chants and consumers will be advised of action taken by the War Indus tries Board. Through it that board will collect information. For illus traitor, the sentiment of Connecticut merchants both large and small, ir
 regard to hours of business will be reported by MT. Cooper's committed
 to the chairman of the national com
 mittee, MT. lily. And before an!
 ruling Is made by the War Industries
 Board, all such reports from all ovel
 the union will be collected and con ' sidered.
 After the war, the work of tn committee will be just as importan
 as now. Its services will be require
 for securing information during tn
 time of reconstructing business. Blu the big thing from the merchants
 standpoint is that the retail business at last, is given an opportunity to pre-
 sent its needs and arguments to tn government in the same official fash ; ion as other industries.
 MT. Cooper will make his appoint f ments of the state committee an
 county chairmen within a few day 7. With typical energy, he has alread * chosen them, but is awaiting their ac l ceptance before making public tn
 full membership of the committee.
