you do vote inellgeny The franchise used to vent petty
prcjudces or in pursuit OF political pie, is a misused
franchise and something of disgrace to the voter.
We are a busy people running large state somewhat
short handed hence there cannot be the time for rallies
and torch-kc professions that other campaigns have
known The political speaker is likely to find his audience
limited and indifferent. but it will be possible for most
voters to find time for voting and in the interim between
now and election to form somewhat accurate judgment

 ARE PRESSING
 FOR CHANGES

London, May 7-The latest devel- opments in the Austrian situation ap- parently can be summarized as "con- cession to the Germans and threats to the southern Slavs," says dispatch from The Hague to the Daily Mail.
 ''At least" continues the corre- spondent, that is how the Czechs and the southern Slavs regard the de- cision of Premier von Seydler to in- troduce for Bohemia alone the re- arrangement of the provincial ad- ministration which was promised nearly@a year ago for all Austria
 '"The Austrian Germans are press ing for a number of administrative changes which would give them influ- ence over the machinery of the gov ernment greatly in excess of their numerical proportions.
 ''Von Seydler's amour cement has infuriated the Czechs. The southern Slavs are furious over the proclama- ton that stern measures will be taken to repress disturbances in the south. The German reactionary press is urg- ing the government to quash the re- beIlioos tendencies of the Czechs and the southern Slavs by force end to use

NEW RECORD FOR
 THEFT OF RECORDS

Lyman Taylor, 96 Harriet street, was arrested today on the charge of stealing 300 photograph records from the East End plant of the Graphophone company. The records are valued at between $4 and $5 each.
 According to the information sup piled to the police Taylor made a practice of staying in the office after the other clerks had finished their days work and when he had the place all to himself he would test a large number of high priced grand opera dies. He would then choose the best and take them home beneath his ov- ercoat six or eight at a time.
 It is said that he made considerable money selling the records to friends and there is no way at present of tell ing the exact number he stole, but approximately three murdered were recovered when his apartment was searched today. Before coming to Bridgeport TayloTs home was in Beth el where he says his people are now living.

MAY BE FORGED
 TO DRAW UPON
 DEFERRED CLASS

Ansonia, May With less than 30 class 1 men available and a call for 216 men to go in the May 25 draft, the Eighth exemption district, com prising Ansonia, Derby, Seymour, OK ford, Beacon Falls, Middlebury and Southbury, is waiting to see whether it will be forced to draw on the de- ferred classes. RThe district has prac- ticalIy exhausted it's class 1 men after having sent more than 800 to camp so far.
 Adjt Gen. Cole would not give a decision today to local newspaper man, who asked whether the district would have to dip into the deferred classes to fill the newest call. The adjutant general said he would not decide until the local board had of ficially taken it up with him.
 The local board has examined every class 1 man of the 6,285 registrants and has sent all those physically quail fled except about 30. These are all that are left to meet the call for 216 issued yesterday. Preponderance of aliens, who are 53 per cent. of the registrants, is responsible for this state of affairs.

BIGOTS STARTED RUMOR
 OF EPISCOPATE

London, May That the recent British attack on the German sub marine base in Zeebrugge was sue cessful is admitted by the Frankfur- ter Zeitung in commenting on the affair. The newspaper urges that the German navy take measures to deal with 'an antagonist of remarkable boldness.'
 Tt would be foolish to deny," it says, ''that the British fleet scored a great success through a fantastically audacious stroke in penetrating one of the most important strongholds over which the German flag floats.
 However unpleasant it may be, we must frankly admit that the enemy ships actually entered the port of Zeebrugge. That being so, there IS no reason why they should not achieve a similar feat at other times. It therefore behooves our navy com- mand to be alert for we have to deal with an antagonist of remarkable boldness."

with roubles and cognac almost as frequently as the engine required wood. He carried his family along with him in box car next to the en- zine and whenever meals or other do- nestle affairs required his attention he stopped the train and went home" to his box car.
 Just outside Odessa the engineer be- came dissatisfied with the flow of rou- bles and cognac and went on a strike and departed with the engine and the box car He had chosen rather a critical time for reports were current that the Germans were likely to reach the railroad at any moment. After some delay the French succeeded in finding another engineer and engine and the train proceeded.
 AS a matter of fact German bat talions entered Odessa only S6 hours after the Americans passed through the city and it is probable that soma of their advance parties already were in the suburbs at the time that the engineer went on strike.

24 ENEMY ALIENS
 TAKEN IN CUSTODY

Agents of the United States Depart ment of Justice descended on Stam- ford yesterday, and caught A enemy aliens in the Federal dragnet. All of the aliens were taken on charges of entering barred zones without per mits, In some cases the authorities found that the prisoners violated the rules because of ignorance, and not through any malicious motives.
 The Stamford raid, following close ly on a similar action in Bridgeport emphasizes the fact that the govern ment is taking no chances with aliens. Rules governing permits and forbid den zones are known to most aliens, and these will have to be strictly ob- served.
