The house of a vicar partly was wrecked, but the clergyman escaped. He is a, special constable and had left nome for duty when the warnine. came a few minutes before the expIo- sion which damaged his residence The vicar worked throughout the night, assisting the wounded and homeless neighbors.
 The greatest damage in London was Inflicted in the northwestern sectinn where four bombs demolished several houses. All the damage and casual tIeS in this district were confined to two parallel streets, although as usual windows were confined to two par allel blocks. A single raider appeared over this area. Hundreds of persons were just preparing to desert their homes, most of which are three-story buildings, for the more substantial shelter of the two nearby subways when the bombs began to fall.
 The first bomb made a square hit on a three-story dwelling of concrete and brick, crashing through two 1oors before it exploded. While the police, special constajbles and volunteer res cuers were busy there three more bombs fell nearby in quick succession. Am.bulances arrived speedily and not withstanding the confusion, the res- cuers worked effectively under the anti-aircraft barrage. For twenty minutes after the bombing of this dis trict the barra,ge was continued. Another raider dropped bombs in the northern district of London, de- molishing several houses.
 l The text of the official announce ment says:
 Last nights air raid appears to l have been carried out by seven or eight enemy airplanes, of which two

The frontier adjustments in Tran sylVania, in general, mean the pro- lection of the Iron Gates and the Petrozeni mines as well as precau- tion against fresh surprise attacks The new frontier, however, will not go deeply into Rumania The eco- homie demands relate particularly to imports of petroleum and agricultural products and the evacuation of Aus tria-Hungary by Rumanian troops af- fleets a strip of Pulowina still occu- pied by the Rumanians.
 Finally, the statement says. the stipulation that Rumania must give transport facilities for the troops and transports of the Central powers to Odessa appeared necessary in order to safeguard the shipment of large grain supplies from Odessa by way of the Volga, Dnieper and Danube rivers to the Central empires.
 Announcement of the conclusion of preliminary peace with Rumania was received with cheers in the Aus trian lower house. After the out
 break of enthusiasm, pr. Wimmer minister of finance, arose and spoke of the necessity of the chamber grant 1 ing additional war credits to the gov ] eTnment

WILHELM'S SON FOR
 FINLAND

London, March S-The Finnish government has asked the Ger man emperor to appoint Prince 7 Oscar. the fifth son of the em- peror, as king of Finland, the Alton Tidningen of Stockholm says it learns from diplomatic circles there.
 Prince Oscar of HohenzoIlern will be 30 years old next July 27. On July 31, 1914, he, apparently against the wishes of his father, contracted a mOrgantic marriage with Countess Ina Bassewitz, who has been lady in waiting to the empress.
 Prince Oscar suffered from heart trouble during the early months of the war and was re- ported to have collapsed after leading a victorious charge at Verdun on Oct. 3. 1914. He re- turned to duty and narrowly es- capped capture III Poland in De- cenber; 1914. There were few reports concerning his activities during 1915, but early in 1916 he was slightly wounded in the head and thigh on the eastern front.

AMERICANS HALT NEW
 RAIDERS

With the American Army in France, March 7-(By the Asso- ciated Press "A half dozen bombs were dropped behind the American front in the sector northwest of Foul last night by German airplanes which were looking for ammunition dumps. They did not succeed in hitting any of their objectives, however, and none of the bombs dropped caused any casualties.
 Groups of German lombard ing airplanes, on the way to cities and towns far behind the lines, are passing over the American front almost continually. They are greeted by a hot antt-aircraft fire from the American batter ies.
 An American patrol of five men three nights ago outfought an enemy patrol of 10 men. They met in No Mans Land and the Americans opened fire. The Ger mans replied and for three min- utes there was a sharp skirmish. The enemy retreated leaving two dead and two wounded Bavarians who were made prisoner. The American patrol returned to it's own line without havinp received @ scratch.

IS NOT WILLING TO
 MAKE PEACE

London, March S-Niko Haidouko- witch, Montenegrin minister of war and interior, who is now in London, in a letter to the Daily Chronicle, in the name of his king and government, denies that Montenegro will make a separate peace with the Central pow CTS.
 The letter adds that if Montenegro had contemplated a separate peace she could have obtained it. Minister Haidoukovitch asserts that an offer of peace reached King Nicholas since he took up his residence in France. He adds:
 "The offer was put forward for mally by the Central powers and was refused in terms of contempt and in- dignation."

 With Gods help it also will bring us peace in the west and, indeed, the peace which, after much distress and many troubles, the German people need for a happy future
 The emperor detailed his gratitude at greater length in a message to the vice president of the reichstag, say ing:
 'Tvhe complete victory fills me with gratitude. It permits us to live again one of those great moments in which we can reverently admire Gods hand in history. What turns events have taken is by the disposition of God.
 "T,he heroic deeds of our troops, the successes of our great generals and the wonderful achievements of those at home have their roots in moral forces and in the categorical impera- tive which has been inculcated in our people in a hard school. They also will carry us through in a decisive and final battle to victory.
 "In the great tasks upon which the conclusion of peace reconstruction and the healing of the wounds of war will set us, I desire my people to rely on the old historical experience that unity means strength. May eur people face the new time and it's tasks with a strong sense of the realities, with un- bending faith in itself and it's mis- sion, and with strong. patriotic and proud joy in the fatherland bound to me and my house by old and proved bonds of mutual trust.
 'HI do not doubt that a rich. strong and happy people will arise out of the storms and sacrifices of this time.'

 ARE ID BE
 DRAFT
Order Thought by Many to Mean Second Call
 Had Been Issued.
MEN BADLY NEEDED IN AVIATION WORK
Voluntary Induction Fails to Obtain Mum
 Der Needed.

Forceful drafting of mechan- ics for the aviation corps of the United States army, it is ex- pected, will be the course fol- lowed by the six local draft boards following order No. 36, calling for 67 such men from Bridgeport. It was another call under the voluntary in duction system, but only about one-third of the men needed have volunteered to their local boards.
 Attorney Sanford Stoddard, chair man of the Third Division board, of f1cial spokesman for the other chair men, said the matter would be brought to the attention of Adjutant- General Cole and a decision was ex- pected tomorrow. It is likely that the men will be taken from the boards in proportion to the number of Class 1 registrants. The number to be supplied by each board will range from 8 to 13.
 Under the order issued on Tuesday by Provost Marshal General Crowder en1istments in this branch of the ser vice close today. It is the belief of draft officials that the natural pro- cedure will be to refer to the classi- fication, lists and draw the number of men required with regard to their order numbers.
 Nothing new has developed in the day of plans for the second draft Bridgeport's 60 negro draftees, part of the first draft quota, are still in the city and no word settling their fate has been received by the divis- iOnal boards.

FRIzzELL IS 10 OBTAIN DIVORCE
 FROM HIS WIFE

Charles R. lFrizzeIl of Norwalk will be granted a divorce from Elizabeth Roberts F'rizzell of the same place if Judge William M. Maltbie accepts the report of Judge William H. Comley, who was named a committee by the court to hear the evidence in the case. The report was filed with Judge Maltbie today, and recom- mended the granting of the petition upon the ground of intolerable cruel ty.
 The Frizzells are well known in Norwalk, where the husband is member of prominent family, and their troubles have been before the courts for the last year. Last June. Mrs. Frizzell sought damages from Ter husbands parents, claiming alien alton of affections, the case was tried before the court, but the case was de- cided against the claimant.
 They were married in Nashville. Tenn, about four years ago, and have never lived happily.

Bills Own Property in U. s. to Lead Slide

.HOLLWEG'S ALSO
 FOR HIGH BIDDER
Custodian Will Begin Destroying Outposts
 of German Kultur.

Washington, March 8-Prop- erty in the United States owned by the kaiser himself, former Chancellor von Bethmann- Hollweg, the German junk CTS" generally and the German government itself, will be the first to go under the hammer under the plans of Mitchell Palmer, alien property custod- ian, to sell German-owned property here to the highest bidders.
 MT. Palmer's testimony to the Sem ate appropriations committee in which he proposed necessary legisla- ton which was made public today, makes plain that properties of merely minor individuals uCobably will not be sold, but, that the direct purpose of the move is to break up the outposts of kultur in America.
 "The time has come," MT. Palmer told the senators, when the. owner ship of some of these great German properties should be permanently separated from German capital and that the enemy might as well know that the connection which he has been able to maintain with American industry and commerce is broken, not
 
 never to be restored.
 "The German empire, through its financial operations, has put an indus trial and commercial chain all the way across the country and through our insular possessions. We have become thoroughly convinced it would be wise and highly desirable at this (Continued on Page D

INSANE INMATE JIMM|ES OUT OF
 HILLSIDE HOME E

When attendants at Hillside Home entered a cell occupied by Albert Ugreen, in the section provided for the detention of insane persons, last night, they found the room completely wrecked, the lock pried off the door, and a window through which the prisoner escaped jimrnied open. Hang ing from the bars of the window were two sheets knotted together which Ugreen had used to lower himself to the ground. Ugreen was arrested early today at his home, 1 Hollister court, and brought back to Hillside.
 Ugreen was being held at Hillside pending his removal to an asylum for the insane. When placed in his cell last evening he appeared to be in a tranquil state of mind, but later be- came violent. As he was safely locked in a detention cell no particular at tention was paid to his noise, until the regular rounds were being made.
 Apparently Ugreen had worked him self into a frenzy at being locked in the small room used as a detention cell and with what must have been superhuman strength he smashed. the heavy iron bedstead to pieces and then used one of the broken iron bars as a. jimmy to pry off the heavy lock on the iron door.
 Once out in the corridor Ugreen had little difficulty in opening a window with his improvised tools and then returning to his cell he made rope of two bed sheets which he attached to an iron bar in the window and let 1 himself down to the ground Officials
 say it seems impossible a human be- ing could be capable of causing such
 destruction as Ugreen created in his cell. The strongest articles of furni-
 +77re were broken into matchwood by
 the maniac while the heavy iron bars
 of +be bedstead, were bent as though
 +boz, were s,o much thin lead pipe.

Overshadowing the hopes of Fuel Administrator Carl F.

The domestic situation is serious, although not critical because of the improved weather conditions. Large quanti- ties of bituminous coal are needed to make the industrial situation com fortable.

 According to an Amsterdam dis patch yesterday, the Socialist news paper Vorwaerts, commenting upon the outcome of the Brest-Litovsk con- ference at which peace with the Rus sian government was concluded, says:
 Peace was concluded, but the delegates parted with feelings of deadly enmity. That such was the case is a deeply regrettable event. The German workmen do not stand behind von Rosenberg (assistant to Foreign Secretary von Kuehlmann, and chairman of the second Brest- Litovsk conference) or the policy for which he stands. Let us, therefore. face the facts and frankly declare that in this peace the success which was sought has been denied to social ism of all shades of opinion"
