 Quick response was received from Local Administrator Carl F. Siemon's appeal to Dr. Harry A. Garfield de- picting the plight of these plants. The reply rushed to State Administrator Thomas w. Russell and relayed to Siemon was: Washington advises tidewater exchange. Announce load ing two barges today for account of Remington Arms"

a Night and day enemy projectiles- are falling in towns and have been di- rected at number of strategical points. The damage done has been unimportant. Three American artil- lerynen have been wounded. The Americans replied to the enemy with shells for one, firing accurately on roads and enemy works. Shells were dropped on a party of seven Ger mans repairing wire entanglements. Some were wounded and the rest scat tered.
 Early today a small enemy party attempted to raid American lines and was driven off by rifle and machine gun fire, after which artillery fire chased them back to their lines. A trench mortar projectile fell on one of our trenches today, killing three and wounding four. Rain has prevented aerial activity and trenches and dugouts are flooded.

In discussing public eating house control it is charged in the report that the consumption, particularly in Thigh priced restaurants and hotels, per capita, is nearly double of nor mal"
 "The bill authorizes regulations to eliminate unnecessary use of essential foodstuffs by manufacturers of food products,' said the report. "It would be possible to effect a great saving in food products by requiring higher milling of the mixture of ingredients in bread which cannot be so readily shipped abroad"
 Although it's does not authorize a rationing system for consumers, in the language of the report, ''it would permit into particular district or de- 1ivered to a particular distributor. The President can, in effect, ration the distributors so that a threatened shortage can be spread out as evenly as possible throughout the entire country"
 The report recalls that the presi- dent has no power to enforce economy in consumption under the existing food law and that the success of con- servation plans depends entirely on the voluntary cooperation of the peo- pie. The appeals to save food have met with gratifying results, the report says, and it adds ''but there is small percentage of people who either will fully or for lack of understanding, fails to respond to the call made for patriotic duty"
 ''The food situation as it affects us and our a1lies," the report continues lis becoming so critically serious as tc warrant the committee in the beliet that the necessity is on us of adopt ing compulsory methods of conserva- ton in certain well defined directions our eyes to the facts. It would be oowardly in us to fail to attack thi problem of waste in foodstuffs in the most vigorous manner.
 '"The bill is designed to meet sit. uation that is closely allied to con. servation. If we ship to Europe al of cur eyportable surplus of certain | foods there is never going to be more than just enough of such foods availa- ble for consumption in the United 1 States To prevent local shortages i l is necessary that this normal suppl! be distributed with absolute equalit! | throughout the country, and such dis tribution is further essential in order to obtaIn the best rossible use of oul surplus products. From time to time there may be temporary shortages 1T certain foods. In such a case the president-should have power to con 1 troI the distribution in such a wa!
 that the shortage is spread out a! evenly as possible"

WILL. INVEST
 ITS MILLIONS TO AID
 HOUSING CONDITIONS
BELIEVING THAT BRIDGEPORT WILL SOON BE GREATEST INDUSTRIAL. CENTER IN U. s. CORPORATION AFTER CONFERENCE
 WILL LEND MONEY FOR HOMES.

Convinced that Bridgeport will outstrip Newark, N. J., and soon become the principal industrial center of the United States, one of the biggest in surance corporations in the country - the name of which The Times withholds from publication at the request of the company officials - stands ready to invest millions in inn proving this city's housing con- ditions.
 This firm. is willing to advance a sufficient sum for the erection of at least 5000 two-famfly houses or the equivalent of Bridgeport's share of the governments recent appropriation of $50, 900 for housing.
 Officials of the insurance firm have been in conference with heads of sev- eral development companies in this city. It is found that plenty of land is obtainable within the city limits. Al the request of representatives of the insurance firm the name is withheld from publication until more definite plans have been made.
 The proposed investors have studied statistics of various cities and reach the opinion that the best prospective places for investment are Newark and Bridgeport, but are inclined to favor this city, because of it's phenomena growth during the last few years.
 Completion of negotiations hinges on the announcement of the govern ments allotment for Bridgeport. Ii the housing director decides $1O,00O,- 900 shall be appropriated for Bridge port housing, then, it is reported, the insurance firm will invest a likt amount. Providing the government appropriation falls below expectations the concern will give enough to ac commodate at least 5000 families.
 The only endorsement they ask vii be the backing of the Bridgepor Manufacturers Association. Accord ing to preliminary, plans the house will be of two families each, of mod ern erection, and will rent for month ly payments ranging between $2O an $35.
