PRISONERS RELEASED
 BY. REDS
Thousands of War Cap ties, Liberated, Rush to PetrOgrad Dis
 trict.

London, Feb. 6-Enemy pris- oners of war are being released by the local workmen's and sol dierS' councils of Russia. Thou sands have been liberated all ready and it is estimated that 10000 former prisoners are now in the Petrograd district.
 This information was dis closed today by the Russian commission of war prisoners. The commission said that the liberated prisoners are moving rapidly to join others Ill the Petrograd district.
 An official Russian wireless dis patch contains a declaration by the Lettish representatives from the Let ish councils of Socialists and soldiers protesting against the assertion of the Austro- German delegation in Brest- Litovsk that the Let's had expressed a desire for separation from Russia The demand is expressed that the German and Russian forces be with drawn from the Lettish territory SC that the inhabitants can freely express their will for unconditional unity and undivided existence.
 A declaration similar to that made by the Let's has been issued by the Esthonians. It demands full and un. fettered self determination for the whole of Esthonia, including Oesel Dago and the neighboring islands in. habised by Esthonians.
 The declaration says the separation of the islands from the rest ot Esthonia would be a gross violation of the sovereign rights of Esthonie and protests against the annexation 0. the islands by Germany under any conditions or any pretext. The de mand is made that German and Rus sian troops evacuate Esthonia and per init the taking of an unhampered votC regarding the political future of th' l Esthonians.

OUTCOME OF SUBMARINE

materials and the money-alI that is lacking is a spirit in the nation that will send quarter of a million Amer ican mechanics into the yards to give their best and most efficient work.
 T am sorry to say at the present time that the native born American workman is not the mainstay of the ship yard, for he is there only to the extent of 8 per cent. of the men en- ployed and to the extent of s per cent, we are forced to depend on for eign born labor.
 We all honor the men in uniform and the same honor must be given to the men who go to work in the yards. Just as the navy is the first line of the British empire and just as Ger many depends upon her submarines. so must America depend for victory upon the ship builders in the Ameri- can yards. To the women of America say: Send your men to the ship yards for they will be doing there no less a service than in the army or the navy, and they will be returned to you safe and well paid, after hav- ing performed duty that is a primal necessity of this war;

BRIDGEPORT COAL SITUATION AGAIN
 AT ACUTE STAGE

Bridgeport's coal situation is again at critical point. The supplies re- ceived during the last few days have dw1ndled to a few tons and. the bins of eight retail dealers are again bare. In an attempt to get immediate relief Local Administrator Carl F. Siemon has been trying all day to oommuni- cate by telephone with E. B. Moves. anthracite distributor, at Washington, D. c. He had not been successful at press hour.
 The plight of the town of StratforG is also serious. In a letter to State Administrator Thomas W. Russell, Siemon states that Bridgeport dealers are unable to give any assistance to that town. He also appealed to Rus sell to get aid for this city.
 The distribution of hard coal is be- ing rushed under the strict super. vision of the committee. For his re- fusa1 to comply with the committed s regulations, the business of a retail dealer on Wilmot avenue was closed by Secretary William F. Sheehan this morning. A policeman was detailed to the yards to halt further coal dis triibution. This is the third time the committee has been compelled to re- strain violators.
 More than 700 persons stood in the coal line this morning. Nine carloads of hard coal, approximately 325 tons, is all that has been received during the last A hours. The same amount of bituminous coal was received also by rail.

GERMAN ALIEN
 INTERNED FOR
 LAW VIOLATION

Henry B. F'roese, a German alien, employed as trainer with Pallenberg of the Barnum & Bailey circus, who was arrested yesterday, will be in- termed for the period of the war. Froese was granted many privileges as an enemy alien and allowed to travel with the Pallenberg act on vaudeville circuit.
 It is said that he showed a disposi- ton to abuse the privilege granted him. One of the things that was brought to the attention of the De- pertinent of Justice was that the man said that he would not go to Hart ford, regarding his liberties, unless the United States government fur nished the transportation.
 Officials of the Barnum & Bailey circus told the officials that Froese set bad examples for the other Ger man aliens in their employ. The man will be taken to the Fairfield county fail where he win be held before he is taken to an internment camp prob ably at Fort Oglethorpe.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Responsibility Tor the success or failure of the gov srnment ship building program was put on labor today by Charles Piez, general manager of the emergency ship corporation, in an appeal for shipyard workers.
 The fact that ship yards are work ing only one shift six days a week was characterized by MT. Piez as "monstrous."
 ''If we are to keep ahead of the submarine campaign said he, we must run three shifts day 52 weeks in the year"
 Mr. Piez's statement follows:
 within 60 days huge government yards will be completed and soon thereafter more than 6O,OOO workmen will be required to furnish for them the three eight-hour shifts necessary if these yards are to turn out ships according to schedule.
 ''Our program calls for the construc- tion in 1918 of eight times the ton nage delivered in 1916, at a cost of more than $1, ,OOO, 600 900. The shipping board has the necessary yards, the

While the senators were discussing whether to continue in public session or go into private meeting, Secretary Baker explained that perhaps he had been unfortunate in making his or iginal statement to the committee by giving his general opinions rather than the exact facts and details pre- pared by experts having the subject in charge. He proposed that he be permitted to prepare such statements, present them to the committee and return for eros - examination later.
 Secretary Bakers cross -examina- tion was begun by Senator Weeks of Massachusetts, Republican, in con nection with the number of troops to be sent abroad this year.
 On Jan. l, Secretary Baker said, more troops had been transported to France including both non-com bat ant and fighting forces, than had been planned
 Secretary Baker and Senator Weeks agreed that it was improper to disclose the number of American troops in France
 Transportation of fighting troops was temporarily reduced, Secretary Baker said, in discussing the ship ping situation, by the necessity of sending larger engineering forces
 The shipping board and the war de- partment, Secretary Baker said, are in constant contact, exhaustively study ing the shipping situation Gen. Bliss, he said, took the information abroad as a basis of calculation in connection with the shipping situa- tion. About 13O,OO tons additional have recently been obtained.
 Senator Weeks asked if it were true that the War Department had 791.O0O

PREPARE TO SEND
 LAST DRAFT QUOTA

Preparations for sending away the last part of Bridgeport's 15 per cent increment of the first draft will be made at a meeting of the local board chairmen today. It is now the belief that this city's quota is filled with the exception of the negro. draftees. but in some boards few more white men will be drawn.
 For example the Fourth division contributed 35 conseripts to the quota sent to Fort Wright in December This board has 24 negroes and must add six or seven white men to complete the quota.
 The continuance of examinations for the next draft is held up by an order q om Washington.

 PRIVATE GARAGE

A garage owned by Guy L. Ham, mond, at 2,676 Main street, was razed by fire shortly after noon today and two automobiles valued at $7,000 were burned up. The fire, which was of unknown origin, was discovered by Doorman Beamer of the Fourth pre- cinct police station which is across the road.
 There was not much danger to sur rounding property owing to the fact that the garage was some distance from other buildings and the slight wind that was blowing was not fa' vorable for spreading of sparks.

Danbury, Feb. 6.-Fire department officials expressed the opinion today that the fire that practically destroyed the large hat factory of Rundle & White on River street late last night was of incendiary origin, although no motive for such an act can be found.
