Cotton is down several cents be-

MANUFACTURERS . TO HELP BETTER
 HOME SANITATION

With the end in view to bring about better living conditions for workers from other places who nay come to Bridgeport to work the Manufactur. CTS association is cooperating with the Board of Health officials in con- ducting investigations ot unsanitary boarding and tenement house which have been brought to the attention of the Manufacturers association.
 During the past week George S. Eawley, general manager of the as- sociation, has received numerous complaints from many men who came to Bridgeport with the expectation Of locating here. They report that many of the places to which they were referred were in a very un- healthy condition.
 From the many complaints received the conditions not only exist in the far extremities of the city but in the center and along the main streets In- stances of living quarters and board ing houses on State street and Fair field avenue were cited in the com plaints to Hawley.
 HaWley and Dr. Brown have hel6 a conference regarding the matters as reported to the Manufacturers as sociation and steps are under way fol Q rigid investigation.

'. 5. GAS SHELLS KILL TEUT0NS
SENATOR LODGE ATTACKED
SIX MONTHS IN
 JAIL FOR CONN.
 co. CONDUCTORS

Abraham Pe1tz of 23S Federal street, Walter Germsey of Sheridan street and Ernest Bsechio of Bank street, street car conductors, arrested yesterday for embedding money be- longing to the Connecticut Company, were today sentenced to serve not less than six months in the State Reform atory by Judge Wilder, when arraign- ed in the City Court.
 In passing sentence upon the trio, Judge Wilder, delivered 8 caustic ad- dress to the prisoners in which he emphatically denounced their dis honesty not alone to the Connecticut Company, but to the public in general who demanded 100 per cent. efficiency from the public service corporation. '"This efficiency" the judge contin- ued, twas an impossibility so long as the employees of the corporation sys- tematically robbed their employers 9
 The arrest of the three conductors is but the beginning of a campaign which the company has inaugurated in an effort to oust the dishonest con- ductors in the service, and a sequel to the statement made by Manager F. E. Goodwin of the Connecticut Company, before the Chamber of Commerce some months ago to the effect that one-fourth of the conductors employ ed by the Connecticut Company were dishonest

At least this was charged by the Rev. pr. Alexander Alison, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, while addressing the guests of the Kiwanis Club, at the first annual dinner of the organization, held in the Stratield hotel last night.
 The clergyman made the startling statement in course of a speech punc- tuated with bitter invective in which he opened his big verbal guns upon the Prussian system and the methods adopted by the Potsdam autocrats in their efforts to enslave the world.
 He tore away the mask from the grinning deaths head which guides the slimy serpent of intrigue into ev- cry school house and institution in this and every other country where the deadly serum of Wilhelmstrasse doctrines can be inoculated not alone into the young mind, but into the minds of those who are on the threshold of taking positions of trust and responsibility.

Jones Declares Food and Fuel Administration Saw ed the Country. TRANSFORMATION WAS CAUSE OF TROUBLES Lodges Speech Example of Studied and Deliberate
 Word Lashing.''

Washington, March g - Speaking in defense of the food and fuel administrations in the Senate today, Senator Jones of New Mexico exonerated both of blame for the recent sugar and coal shortages. He declared their price fixing policies had saved the country from "chaos and confusion" --
 Senator Jones, who was member of the manufacture subcommittee which investigated the sugar and coal shortages, spoke in reply to Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, who re- gently denounced price fixing as a failure, blamed the fuel scarcity on that the sugar shortage was largely artificial. Transportation troubles caused the coal shortage and high prices, he declared.
 Senator Jones resented the Massa- chusetts senator's criticism of the fuel administration as being "a bureau largely composed of amateurs" de- claring the fuel and the food admins trators are both well qualified and with the organizations they have ere ated are serving the country solely for patriotic reasons"
 Senator Lodges speech was referred to as "an example of studied and de- liberate word lashing," it's tendency being to bring the entire administra- ton into disrepute.
 To refutc Senator Lodges statement that not actual sugar shortage exist ed, Senator Jones said agricultural de- partment reports show that on Aug. 31, 1917. sugar stores were 125, ,000 tons below normal.
 In defending the administration sugar price fixing policy he said it was difficult to conceive that anything re- suited other than a benefit to the great mass of American consumers and without injury to the producers. Taking up the coal situation, Sena- tor Jones said:
 "The activities of the fuel admins tration from the very beginning have | been directed toward supplying the l extraordinary war demand for coal or | the part of the government itself an6 those branches of industry that the government has called into war ser
 vice. With the entire coal outpu
 inadequate to supply demands of thu
 country it has been necessary O
 course to make readjustments to sup | Div the war demand

Factories in the south and west are working under less pressure, labor is not quite so scarce and railroad trans portation conditions are better.
 The many ramifications of the sub ject have recently been discussed, it was learned today, between represen- tativs of the War Industry Board, Rail- road Administration, Treasury, Ship ping Board and the Labor Depart ment-
 Officials who have studied the sub jeet scientifically believe the east is over crowded, but point out a multi tude of reason why there can be no wholesale transfer of contracts to manufacturing districts of the west.
 The process must be very slow, they say, and will be developed by the plac- ing of single contracts outside of the east wherever conditions warrant. The Railroad Administrations interest grows out of the serious traffic con- gestion with which it has been con- fronted from the Pittsburgh manufac- turing district eastward.
 The joint policy of the Railroad and Shipping Board to divert more export freight to south Atlantic and Gulf ports, now beginning to materialize, is certain to result eventually in the drawing of manufacturing toward these points, it is pointed out. A committee of traffic experts head ed by L. Winchel1 of the Union Pacific is now in the south studying railroad trackage and terminal facilities with the intention to recommend a scheme of routing more traffic over lines not overburdened already as are eastern roads. Similar studies have been made of the middle west

-eadly Artillery Fire Disheartens Number
 of Hun Soldiers. THEY SURRENDER TO OUR TROOPERS 30 Germans Attempting to Remove Ii Dead
 Hit By Shells.

With the American Army in France, Thursday, March 21- By the Associated Press)- Enemy first and second line positions on a part of the sector east of Luneville have been destroyed completely by Amer ican artillery fire. After the raid into the German positions last night the American gun ners shelled the positions heav- lily all night and this morning.
 Today a patrol, without assistance from the artillery, crossed No Mans Land and found the first and second lines had been wiped out.
 The patrol also obtained additional information and returned without cas- ualties, the Germans apparently hav- ing decided not to molest them.
 Artillery firing by both sides on the sector continued all day.
 On the sector northwest of Foul a number of Germans deserted last night and surrendered to an Ameri- can patrol in a certain wood. The Germans approached the Americans, shouting Don't shoot!" The prison CTS were turned over to the French.
 Much information of value was ob- tained from the deserters who said they were fled up'' with the war and 1,o CTS. Included in the information ob- tained from the men was the state ment that during the gas projecto1 attack against the American lines on Feb. 27 nine hundred projectors were employed.
 One half of the projectils fired fel within the German lines and the gas oyercame many of the Germans. The next day according to thed eserters 11 Germans were killed and 30 were wounded while taking out the dead.
 American intelligence officers are inclined to doubt the story regarding 900 projectors. American information is that only 75 were used.
 An American patrol last night en- tered the enemy first line and remain ed there six hours but did not set any of the enemy. lit is reported tha the Germans recently had constructed trenches that are concrete half wa! up on the side.
 Great activity continues behind thu enemy lines. Within the last fou days several rock crushers and con crete mixers have been brought Ill and there are signs that the German intend to construct new pill boxes op posite the American front. Severa trains of materials have arrived a towns in the German lines during tn last A hours.

LENROOT STILL LEADS IN RACE
 FOR CONGRESS

Milwaukee, March 22-No addition al returns had been received this morning to disturb the apparent lead of 2.50O votes for Congressman Irv- inc L. Lenroot over James Thompson, LaFollette candidate for the Repub- lican nomination for United States Senator.
 The Wisconsin Loyalty legion, a non-partisan organization, met here today and there were reports that either Lenroot or Joseph E. Davies the Democrat, would be asked to withdraw, in order that a united front might be presented against Vic tor L. Berger, the Socialist candidate, who might be aided by supporters of Thompson. The managers of Lenroot and Davies, however, were going ahead with campaign plans.
