A number of firms from this city
and out of town as well are made de-
PENDANTS in a suit entered in the Su-
perior Court by Edward C. Spargo,
who is seeking to recover on a prom
issory note for $4,000 and mortgage
given him in 1917 by the company.
Lionel e. Levy is the treasurer ana
agent of the company and the otheS
defendants are William p Kirk, the
Jackson Stone company, Henry Vein
garten doing business under the name
of the Standard Roofing company;
schwarz Brothers, the American
Hardware Stores, Inc; William F.
Chatlos, the William P. Kirk Co., The
Lenox Construction Co.; Parshelsky
Brothers of Brooklyn, n. Y; Kalman
Goldstein and julius Lazoroyitch.
The complaint alleges that on jan
uary 26, 1917, the Colonial Construc-
ton Co. gave to E. G. Spargso a prom
issory note for s35,OOO with interest at
6 Der cent. and were to pay any and
all taxes. The first payment was to
be made July 26, 1917, and the other
payments were to be at the rate of
81 900 every six months until January
26, 1922, when the final payment of
s91, COO was to be made.
To secure the note a mortgage was
given to MI. Spargo on the apart
ments and the land on which they
stood. According to the terms Of the
note any payment on the principal or
the interest on the first mortgage
note, tax assessments, or insurance
premiums on the property mortgaged

days after due would cause the prin-

second OF $1,000. nor any Of the inter

SERIOUS TROUBLE:
FOR ALIENS WHO
VIOLATE PERMITS
Department of Justice Look
ing Up Several Complaints
of This Nature.
INTERNMENT FOR
PERIOD OF WAR
Must Strictly Obey Terms
of Permits Granted or Suf-
fer Arrest, Says Lane.

Aliens violating the terms of their
permits are letting themselves in for
considerable trouble, reports of the
activities of the Department of JUS
tice discloses.
Agent Lane, in charge of the de-
partment, has been investigating the
case of Rudolph Chorers, 81 Crescent
avenue, employed at the Salts Textile
plant, who was arrested for pssrticipa-
ton in street brawl with two ItaI-
ians a short time ago. He was then
fined $25 in the City Court, but the
Department cf Justice upon tnvesti-
cation found that instead of being on
the way to the drug store for medi-
cine for a sick wife, Chorers had on
the night in question visited several
saloons between the hours Of 8 p. m.
and 1850 and was in an intoxicated
condition when he became involved in
an argument over the war with two
Italians Evidence that he has re-
peatedly violated the terms of his per-
init has been collected and he was
given a hearing before Commissioner
Lavery, and will be interned for the
duration of the war. His father and
brother have been arrested also for
similar offenses and have received
warnings that future violation will re-
suit in internments.
The three Stamford men who were
arrested in Stamford for violations OF
the rulings. of the government against
selling intoXicants to uniformed men
will have their cases continued until
Commissioner Lavery can hold the
hearings. The arrest was made upon
complaints of relatives of the soldiers
and sailors who claim that through
the sale of intoXicants the enlisted
men were late in reporting to camps,
continually overstayed their leave and
were courtmartiaIed. They also lost,
while in an intoxicated condition
money and personal effects. The
penalty for selling liquors to men in
uniform is very heavy, and the gov
ernment is not inclined to be lenient
with violators.
Joseph Burke, arrested in Stamford,
by the Department for failure to reg
lister, will be held for the next session
of the U. S. District Court at Hartford
He was a member of the Connecticut
National Guard at the beginning o.
the war and was called to active SER
vice. He obtained his discharge on
the ground that his dependent wife
and child could not live on the small
amount the government allowed. As
soon as he left the army. he aban-
doned his family and a nationwide
search was Instituted. with the result
he was arrested in Kansas City, Mo.
| while travelling with the Barnum &
Bailey show. He had not registered
in any of the towns he had visited. an6
will be held for trial.
Several enemy aliens have beer
sent to Fort Oglethorpe for violating

with those of the Marne and Picardy
French appears to point to a possibfl-
ity of Marshal Foch breaking the enc
my's resistance by a flank attack in
stead of a direct assault against the
strong positions now held by the Ger
mans between Scissors and Rheims
and between the Disc and the Ancre.
The region in which the attack was
made is quite rough and would seem
to be we'll adapted to defensive war
fare. It is intersected by ravines of
some depth and has high wooded
ridges here and there. 1t is an ex-
tension of the hilly district along the
Disc, where savage fighting has been
going on for the last week.
Along the Picardy battle front there
have been local actions, in which 400
prisoners were taken by the French.
London reports the French have cap
tured st. Mard and Beuvraignes, near
Roye, thus imperiling the peril of that
bastion of the German line west of
the Somme.
Farther north the British have pene-
trated the German positions near Ar
ras. German attacks in the Flanders
sector have been repulsed.
In the Merville sector the British
have made new advance, probably
following up the Germans who have
been retiring in this part of the Lys
salient for the last week.

(By the Associated Press.)
Launching what may be described
as an extensive local attack, the French
last evening broke through the Ger
man positions along the vital sector
connecting the Marne and Picardy
battle fields This attack was over a
front Of nine miles from near Carle-
pont, east of the Disc, to Fontenoy.
or the Aisne, about six miles west Of
scissors. 1t is officially reported that
an advance to an average depth of l.
miles was made all along the front
of attack. A total of l, 700 prisoners
is reported from Paris. 1t is reported
from London that an extreme pene-
tration of two miles has been made.
The villages of Nampcel and Nouv-
ron Ningre have been captured and
the French have reached the southern
edge of the ravine at Andignicourt.
Since the situation along the Aisne
and the Vesle and in Picardy has
seemed to be approaching deadlock
indicating a return to the old trench
warfare of the first two years of the
war, an attack in the sector between
the Aisne and the O;se has been ex-
pected. This line is vital to the Ger
man positions on each side of it. If
it should be broken the whole German
defensive scheme would be disarrang-
ed.
While the front over which the as
sault was launched is short, compared

CROWDER CALLS
EIGHTEEN STATES
FOR 5,7O9 men

Washington, Aug. 10 - Eighteen
states were called on by the provost
marshal general today to furnish
500 white draft registrants of gram
mar school education for general mil
itary service. The men will entrain
Sept. 6. Voluntary enlistmeEts will
be accepted until Aug. 26.
All of these men will be sent to
schools or training centers, for in
structions in special lines of service
for which they are wanted. In ad-
ditlon Ohio and the District of Co.

white registrants each to report on
Aug. 26 for aero service.

It is assumed here that the refu-
vees are American and Allied citizens
seeking escape from Russia. Under
date of August II the Swedish gen.
pral in Moscow reported that the Ger
man government had refused safe
conduct for any refugee including
consul officers and 1t was believed
that this refusal would stand until
negotiations were concluded with
England concerning the treatment of
Germans in China.
A report dated August 16 said the
Bolsheviki had agreed to permit the
consuls to depart and that the mill
tary missions of Great Britain and
France are preparing to leave Mos
COW by way of Astrakan and Persia.

FEEDING VALUE OF SOY BEANS.

The feeding value OF soy bean seed,
which contains from 80 to 46 per cent
protein, is very high and compares
fayorably with other concentrated
feeds. The growing OF soy bean seed
will enable the farmer to produce at a
moderate cost at least part OF the high
protein concentrates necessary for
stock feeding and milk production.
When fed TO sheep and hogs the beans
can be fed whole. but in general it is
preferable to crack or grind them.
Practical experience has shown that il
