EISENMAN HAS
QUIT U. S JOB

Washington, Feb. 19-Correspon-
dence with the war department, dis
closed today by Senator Mcclellan of
Tennessee "a member of the military
committee, shows that Charles D..
Eisenman of Cleveland, O., former
vice chairman of the supply commit
tee of the council of National defense,
has given up his connection with the
government.
Mr.. Eisenman was a storm center
in the senate military committees in
vestigation of the workings of the ad-
visory committee of the council of
national defense. The controversy
ranged around whether Mr.. Eisen-
mans committee actually had pro-
vided the materials for uniforms for
the national army. He stoutly con-
tended that it had and if there was
any shortage it was due to other
causes.

HACKETT GIVES
HIS SERVICES
FOR SOLDIERS

Washington, Fbe. 18-Anxious to
render a patriotic war service, James
K. Hackett, famous American actor
manager, has volunteered his services
to the knights of Columbus Committee
on War Activities, and has been ap-
pointed general director of Gmuse-
ment by that organization. Mr.. Hack
EFT will Immediately begin the organ
ization of high class theatrical COM
panies in the army encampments and
cantonment and the naval stations,
these companies to be composed of
professional actors and talented anna
teurs who are now in military service.
Mr.. Hackett will receive no remunera-
ton for his work, and has signified
his intention of devoting his entire
time to it for the duration of the war.
The plays which Mr.. Hackett plans
to produce will be presented in the
buildings which the Knights of Co
lumbus, representing the Catholic peo-
pie of this country, are operating as
social, recreational and religious cen
tiers in the camps. He will be assist
ed by several executive and producing
experts from his own staff, and will
begin operations at Camp Devens,
Aver, Massachusetts,. AS soon as the
organization of the talent in the Amer
lean camps has been competed, Mr..
Hackett will go to France to continue
his work in the Knights of Columbus
buildings located in the camps of the
American expeditionary forces.
There are probably more actors in
the service than men of any other
class when the numerical strength of
the profession is taken into considera-
ton" says Mr.. Hackett. ST am sure
there will be no difficulty in organic
ing companies which will compare in
every way with those usually seen in
the best theaters, and after examining
the knights of Columbus buildings
find them admirably settled to produc-
lions of the kind have in mind. The
knights of Columbus are rendering a
splendid patriotic service by the main
tenance of these recreation buildings,
and l am glad of the opportunity to
contribute my experience to the work
they are doing"

OF TWO OF BIC
EASTERN ROADS

Washington, Feb. 19-Freight con-
ditions are so much better in the
East that the railroad administration
announced today that It had been
able to lift the embargo restrictions
on several important articles of small
bulk contributing to production of
food fuel or the maintenance OF
health.
Although this modification applies
formally only to the Pennsylvania,
Erie and Baltimore & Ohio, on which
the official embargo has been impos-
ed for more than month, the effect
will be automatically to remove local
restrictions on other roads, connect
ing with these trunk lines.
Railroads were instructed to en-
barge consignees who do not unload
freight promptly on arrival, subject
to the approval of the regional di-
rector.

midnight when a short circuit of cleo
trio light wires ignfted gas which had
filed wide conduits on Clark's hill

mobile over C1ark's hill, ran into an
electric light pole, bringing it down.
the arc lamp fixture fell on Miss M. E.
Kutchiss of East 44th street, New

was only bruised, stayed over night at
the police station. He lives in New
field avenue. His claim is that heavy
fog obscured his vision as the machine

the return of soldiers whose cloth

COSSACK HETMAN,
Cen. KALED|NES
KILLED HIMSELF

Petrograd. Friday. Feb. 15-Gen.
Kaledlnes, hetman of the Don Cos
sacks, committed suicide at Novo
Tcherkask, headquarters of the Don
Cossacks, during session of the Novo
Tcherkask government which he at
tended. The government decided to
resign and transfer tbs power to the
local workmen's and soldiers council.
After the decision Gen. Kaledines went
to an adjoining room and shot him
self.
Gen. Nazaroff, who succeeded Gen.
Kaledines as leader of the Don Co.'S
sacks, ordered the immediate mobi-
lization and arming of all Cossacks
ofight the Bolsheviki troops advanc-
ing toward Novo Tcherkask.
AS leader of the Don Cossacks Gen.
Kaledines was opposed to the Boil
sheviki and he was the leader of the
counter revolt against the BoIsheviki
early last December. On Jan. / the
republic of the Don was declared with
Gen. Kaledines as president and prime
minister. 1t probably was the resig-
nation of this government that led to
his suicide.
In five weeks during June and July,
1915, Russian troops under Gen. KaIe-
dimes captured 10000 prisoners in an
advance in Volhynia. He was elect
ed leader of the Don Cossacks in July,
1917.

INTERNATIONAL
Eco CONTEST

In the fifteenth week of the laying
contest at Storrs the hens laid at the
rate of little more than "a per cent.
as compared with a SO per cent. yield
for the previous week. The total num-
Der of eggs collected amounted to
1898 or a drop of nearly 300 eggs.
This condition, however, can be only
temporary as the birds are sure TO
make rapid gains and climb quite
steadily until they will be laying more
than 1000 eggs week.
Richard Aliens Rhode Island Reds
from PittsfieId, Mass, are first on the
list with 4S eggs for the week. A. P.
Robinson's Leghorns, form Ca1verton,
N. Y. that have been laying wonder
fully well for more than a month got
into second place with a yield of 46
eggs. A W. Rumery's R. I. Reds from
Danville, N. H., and Joseph M. Roths-
child's Barred Rocks from ,katonah,
N. Y, were rated third and fourth
with 43 and AZ eggs respectively.
In going over the records for the
month of January it has been found
that each of the pens in the contest
averaged to lay seven dozen eggs
which were sold at wholesale for IA
cents a dozen. This means, of course,
that the gross income from the sale
of eggs amounted to s5.18 as an
average. The best pen, however, laid
POS during January and these at the
same price, of course, sold for $12.7O.
Each pen OF ten birds averaged to
consume during January about three
fourths of a bag of feed that was

appears that the real criterion for de-
termining a hens worth is the num-
Der of eggs she lays.

These facts have become known
through captured German prisoners
and other channels.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg and
Gen. Won Ludendorff appear to have
realized that the old methods of at
tack, in which long bombardment is
employed, are too well known to pro-
duce the results desired.
Despite assurances and the intens-
i've training to which they have been
put, the German troops frankly are
skeptical of the success of the new
offensive and are undertaking their
task with no enthusiasm, according
to prisoners.
It is reported that Gen. Won Luden-
dorff recently addressed body of
infantry at Loan and asked how
many men were willing to fight to a
finish. Only five non-commissioned
officers and privates stepped forward.
The others declared their desire for
an early peace by arrangement"
