INCREASE TO BE MADE
 IN SHlPBUlLDING PROGRAM
For Military Reasons the Exact Size
 is Not Made Public.

Washington, April 24.-The shipping board has decided on a substantial in- crease in its building programme for 1919 over the tonnage planned for this year and indications are that the in- crease will be continued in 1920
 Plans for next year were discussed today at a luncheon attended by Chairman Hurley and other members of the shipping board, Vice President Piez and Director General Schwab of the Emergency Fleet Corporation: P. A. s. Franklin. of the International Ship Control Committee; Major Gen eral Goethals and other officials. Es- pecIal attention was paid to the uues- ton of passenger. ships and refrigera- tor ships, for which the war depart ment will make increasingly large de- mands as the war progresses.
 For military reasons the exact size or the future building programme was not made public. From previous settlements of Chairman Hurley how. ever, it has been estimated that the construction in 1919 will be in excess Of ten million tons. the largest amount ever built in any one year by any na- ton. Before January 1, all the shin yards will be in full operation and many old yards which have demon strated their ability to build efficient ly will be expanded.
 Of the total tonnage next year, ap- proximately S,000,000 tons wiH be of steel
 It is expected that 2,5oo. .00o tons of wooden ships will be turned out next year, virtually all on the Gulf and Pa cific coasts.
 Continuation of the navy building programme may be effected. but on completion of emergency war work ways for another 650,0o0 tons of ner- chant shipping will be released.

N. L. NORTHERN R. R. SEEKS
 ASSESSMENT REDUCTION,
Suit in Superior Court Against City of
 New London.

 The company's representative went before the board of relief to have the assessment on the former reasonably reduced and the assessment on the latter vacated. It received no satis- faction and now applies to the su- perior court.

CAPT. GRIsWoLp IS HERO
 OF sEIcHEPREY FIGHT
Gave Several Huns All They Wanted
 and More.

Capt. Alfred H. Griswold, now with the American troops in France. is one of the heroes of the fight with the Germans at Seicheprey this week.
 The captain is well known in this city as he was in command of the New Britain company that was quartered at the arrnory in the spring of 1917 while on guard duty. He is a cousin of Mrs, Harry Bjurstrum of Claire mont avenue.
 Company c, which had such con- spicuous part, under Captain Griswold, in the successful fight against the Ger man attacking force, is made up large ly of former national guardsmen from Middletown and New Haven.
 Captain Griswold, it is reported fought his way out from the midst of German soldiers several times and once during the battle when his con- pany was under heavy fire and his own capture seemed certain. he fought his way out killing with his pistol four of the Germans. Company c, it is said, was one of the first of the American command to re-enter Seicheprey. driv- ing Huns before them. Private Mer- win H. Futile, reported by the wan department to have been slightly wounded, probably was hit during this fighting. ttNt @ ~
 Many reports have reached Few Britain in the past few months about Captain Griswold's activities on the lighting lines. Several times according to local reports. he has been gassed, his hands taken off by shells. he has been severely wounded and has lost his eyesight, vet when Mrs. Griswold last heard from him. Monday, the letter having been written just two weeks previous, he was about to go back into the front lines.
 Captain Griswold is about 42 years old and comes of fighting stock. His father was in the Civil war and the captain himself saw service in '9S. He was at the Mexican border in. 1916 and when the United States mobiIized it's forces against Germany Captain Gris- wold was taken from the reserve And placed in command of Company I. First Connecticut infantry. Subse- duently. when the First and Second regiments were amalgamated in the l02nd. he was made captain of Com pany c. He was acting major of his battalion while Lieutenant Colonel Lamb of the regiment attended an off, cers' school in Paris recently. In a let ter which Mrs. Griswold receivSi this week from him, Captain Griswold said that he was engaged in studying French, as ar the orders were now being given in that language. The captains son, a high school studene has written his father a number of letters in that language.

Government Deludina Itself Consider ing the Amount of Indemnity It Will (Not) Win.

Berlin, Tuesday. April 23, via Am sterdam, April 24.-Speaking on the first reading of the new taxation pro- posals in the reichstag today, Count Von Roedern, secretary of the fmper- ial treasury, said that 11,000 .00O. 900 marks of the 14. 800, 900, 900 marks sub scribed to the eighth war loan already has been paid. Discussing the taxa tion policy of the government, the count pointed out that during the war the indirect taxation had been consid- erably lower than the direct taxation and then continued
 '1n the forthcoming reconstruction of the imperial finances that master piece, the imperial constitution, must not be fundamentally altered. X fun damental taxation division into direct taxes would at present.. be premature we don't yet know the amount of indemnity we shall win.
 "Our taxation legislation need moi fear comparison with that of foreign
 countries. Great Britains big taxa tion achievements show neither a new basis nor an organic reform. Ameri- can war taxes represent merely ran l dom and variation. The success o1
 our loan policy is attributable to a conscientious covering interest on i'm. perial loans and to balancing the bud l get"

The edible portion of the kohl-rabi is the thickened stem It is closely related to cabbage and caulifower. It should be started in the hotbed or win dow box and set in the open ground about the time of the last frost. The method of planting and the cultivation is similar to that practiced for cab bage. It can be planted in the open at the same time. Early sowings are made. and if thinned to 4 to inches apart the plants will soon grow to edible sizes under favorable weather conditions. This plant should receive much more consideration than usual ly is given ita It is really a poor mans caulifower.-U. S. Department of Agriculture.

Use Potatoes to Save Wheat.

At the request of food administra- ton and food supply committee, every loyal citizen of the state is asked to help use the thousands of bushels of potatoes that are now available. If we get sufficient enthusiasm for po- tatoes now. next years production will best this years. If we do not use the surplus the farmers will not plant in large quantity this year and potatoes will be scarce. The United States uses very small per cent. of pota- toes in comparison to the amount used in enemy countries. Germany con- sumes sixteen quarts per capita per week, Austria uses eight quarts and the United States two and three tenths quarts.

ENGLAND ACCEPTS
 AMERICAN PLANS

LONDON.-The official British attitude toward the controversy over the proposed Lincoln statue in London, intended to commemorate 100 years of peace between Great Britain and the United States IS that they are ready to accept any thing that the American committee agrees upon. Sir Alfred Mond, the member of the cabinet responsible for this department of national ac- tivity, wants this clearly understood, and in a memorandum given to the Associated Press he says:
 Some American comments on the statue controversy have represented me as taking sides in the matter. I have been very careful not to imply any veto of replica of either the Barnard or the St. Gauden's statue
 Il have, however, pointed out what I think is perfectly true, that work specially designed for the site, | work of an original character, would probably be the most satis- factory solution. Every sculptor will. I think, agre with this view "It is a question for the American donors to decide whether the delay involved in the presentation of ar original work and the uncertaint! as to how far a new work would o' as satisfactory as a replica of al existing one, outweigh the disad vantages of presenting London wit what, after all, is not an original
 but merely a relpica. It is als
 for them to decide how far any re
 plica design for one site will reall
 look effective on another site.
 l This does not imply any inter
 tion to veto, as far as l myself 0
 the British government are COT
 cerned. I have consistently take
 the attitude that it is for tn
 Americans and not for us to decid
 on this point" .. :
