 to Have Knot Tied

HOOVER APPEALS
 FOR SHIP CORPS
Only Solution to Problem of Send.
 ing Food to Troops

Hartford, Feb. 22.-Ships for the transportation of food to American soldiers and the nations allies consti- ute an urgent problem for this gov ernment, according to the opinion voiced by United States Food Admin istrator Hoover in a telegram re- ceived today by the Connecticut State Council of Defense, urging rapid en- roIlment of shipyard volunteers.
 MT. Hoover's appeal follows: "The problem of getting food to our sol diers overseas and to the soldiers and the war workers of the Allies and their women and children in- cludes not only the finding of the food but the finding of the ships in which to send it. No amount of in- creased production, decreased food use Or general food substitution and saving will help unless the ships are available for sending the saved food oyer there. My anxieties about ships are no less numerous and various than those about food itself. Hence 1t is with the utmost earnestness that I endorse the idea of creating a vol untary reserve of men from which the man power necessary to solve the great problem of shipping can be recruited as rapidly as it can be used"
 Service in the shipyards though not of the fighting kind, is lauded for it's patriotic character by Mr. Hoover, who says, There are many more ways than fighting by which loyal men of America can do their share in winning the war. Not all can fight but all can help in some way. For every army of fighters there is neces- sary a much larger army of loyal eager men devoted to the mainten- ance of the fighting unit. One is as essential and truly patriotic a service as the other. So by all means let us enroll a voluntary reserve corps of men from which the necessary man power for the shipyards can he re- cruited."
 Leo A. Korper, state director .s- the Public Service Reserve, is daily re- ceiving enrollments of many Con- necticut men of skilled trades for the Shipyards Volunteers. The enroll ment campaign will continue through out the state until the quota of 10,- 900 has been raised. Enro11m ent blanks and pledge cards can be ob- tained from the local agencies of the Connecticut State Council of Defense throughout the state. Volunteers re- main at their present employment until called by the government.

AUSTRIANS CLAMOR
 FOR WILSON PEACE
CzekS and SIaVs RidiCule Address
 by Von SeydIer

Amsterdam, Feb. 22.---Tne Austrian socialists have convoked mass meet ings to support their demand that di- rect peace negotiations shall be opened with the United States
 The socialist party has submitted an interpolation to Premier von Seydler urging him to accept Presi- dent Wilson's statement regarding the principles upon which a general peace can be discussed. The social ists demand that the premier take steps Immediately to open negotia- tions between Austria Hungary and the United States.
 The Austrian emperor has warned the leaders of the different parlia- mentary parties that he will pro. rogue the Reichsrath and govern the country by absolute methods if 8 ma Jorlty is not secured for the provi- sional budget
 Wild scenes in the Reichsrath on Tuesday, on the occasion of Premier Von SeyGler's speech, are described in Vienna dispatch 60 the Berlin Vossische Zeitung. The Czechs and Slavs at one point ostentationsly quilted the house, and during the greater part of the pren1ier's speech maintained a continuous din.
 There were shouts of Lies! Treachery! Tell them that in Rer- lin!' and similar expressions Tho premier was audible only to those nearest to him.
 Czech protests are loud against the advance of the German troops in Russia.
 The Pole are extremely dissatisfied with the Austrian government and demand that the UErainian frontier shall be fixed at the River Bug, and that Count Czernin, Austro- -Hungar- ian foreign minister, shall be dis missed.

MAYOR ASKS CONN.
 60. 10 INVESTIGATE
Makes Formal Complaint About
 Trolley Service Here

Feeling that the trolley service ren- dered local patrons by the Connecticut company is deplorable, and claiming that protests to the management are unavailing, Mayor Quigley today took a definite step in an attempt to pro- cure better service and wrote q letter to General Manager J. K Punderford at New Haven in which he voiced his complaints in no uncertain terms. The letter follows:
 1T am writing you regarding trolley service in New Britain as furnished by your company. For the past four years I have, as mayor of the city, made repeated attempts to have your company improve the service In this city, and, after four years, must con- fess that l have not met With any success and that the service is a great deal poorer than it was four years ago.
 ''I have appealed many times to the local manager of the system in this city-have always been treated with unfalling courtesy, but there has been no improvement in the service. The people of New Britain accepted the siX-cent rate with but little protest, hoping that if they contributed this increased fare to the company that possibly conditions would improve, 
 grown worse No effort seems to be made on the part of the local manage ment to maintain schedules or to re- lieve the overcrowded conditions of the cars during rush hours of the day and night. The local manager has shown me the running time Of cars, which I do not hesitate to say is in- correct, and as to the number of pas sengers carried, I know that the fig ures are not correct. Your company is losing a great deal of money due to the overcrowded condition of the cars, because your conductors are un- able to collect the fares in the crowd and people are constantly leaving the cars without paying the fare. This is condition that should interest you.
 "I do not care to discuss these mat ters in a letter to you any further, but wish you would send to this city some responsible person or persons who will observe conditions here for a week or more and see what can he done to improve the service.
 "Very truly yours
 "GEO. A. QUIGLEY.'
