Hartford, Jan. 11.-War bureaus, fully organized and ready to take up scores of local problems created by the war, are rapidly springing up in every part of Connecticut. So far, 31 bureaus have completed their orga- nization and have been appointed by the Connecticut State Council of De- fense the official agencies of the State 'of Connecticut for all war work in their towns and cities. Nine or ten others are in process of organization and will be ready for action soon. Fairfield county towns and cities have been the quickest to adopt the war bureau idea, for 13 of the 30 bureaus already formed are in that county, but nearly every other county in the state has it's share of the new war boards.
 Completely organized war bureaus now exist in the following cities and towns of Connecticut: Hartford Oounty-Bristol, East Hart ford, Hartford, Manchester, New Brit ain, Simsbury, West Hartford, Weth- ersfeld, Windsor. Fairfield County-Bethel, Bridgeport, Brookfield, Danbury, Fairfield, Mon roe, New Canaan, Newtown, Ridge field, Sherman, Stratford, Westport, l Wilton.
 MiddIesex County-Middletow Port land.
 New Haven County-Ansonia, Meri- | den.
 New London County-New London. Holland County-Rockville Windham County-KilHngly Put nam.
 Other war bureaus that are partly organized include the following: New Haven, Derby, Wfndham, Darien, Eas- ton, New Fairfield, Norwalk, Stam- ford, Weston.

will deliver you the copper and the cotton just as soon as possible, but our mines and plantations must first supply the requirements of our friends.
 There will be no boycott, no re- fusal to trade. but Germany will get her supplies a year late, and you know what that means"
 It is the feeling among those who watch the economic trends more close ly that President Wilson has purpose ly laid open the way to negotiation with the liberals and the commercials of Germany through emphasizing the isolation that they must face if their present leaders persist in carrying on the war for the purpose of territorial conquest.
 May Outlaw Germany
 The regret of these men is that he has not with greater clearness indica- ted the bargaining value to this coun- try and it's allies of possession of raw materials of the world and the means of transport.
 It is known that great depression obtains in Germany among business
  that in their minds the war situation is similar to the French card game of 'FWho Wins Loses"
 President Wilson has undoubtedly served notice on the Central Powers that if they are not amenable to a reasonable peace they will be outlawed during the next generation by the na- tions that control supplies of nearly everything that Germany needs for her industrial development.
 Germany Dependent
 The suggestion has recently been made, in discussion of distribution af- ter the war, that there may be an in ternational pool of all commodities and raw materials and that to each producing nation shall be allotted the specific duty of supplying the others with wheat, or corn, or copper, or tea, or rubber, on a prescribed per capita basis.
 Germany, being dependent for near ly all of these products, would be at the mercy of the entente powers who would also control the commodities of South America and probably of de- veloping China.
 It is to be admitted that students of the tariff are timid in expressing con fidence in the permanent peace mak- ing quality of a bargain struck with economic isolation in view. They ap preciate fully, however, the leverage of the suggestion when applied by nation like the United States operat- ing in conjunction with Germany's closest commercial competitor.

London, Jan. 1.-The morning news papers welcome heartily the decision of the house of lords on woman suf- frage, which gives the vote to about 5000, 900 women and ends the long wrapgle which has troubled the coun- try for years. It is true that the third reading of the bill is yet to be taken and a motion to submit the question to 8 referendum is to be disposed of, but it is not believed that this has any prospect of success even if pressed to a vote. z,
