FIGHT GERMAN GAS

EVERY boy ana girl IN IlllS country
Is again asked by the United States
government to help save American
soldiers from the horrors OF German
gas. The Chemical Warefare Division
of the Army has arged them to gether
every walnut and butter nut in the
woods about their homes this fall to
help make gasmasks for the American
troops in France. 1t is from the shells
of these nuts that sthe charcoal for
gas-masks must come for the next
six months or more.
There is said to be a ready and
profitable market for the nutsmeats
making it practicable to turn the
shells in to the government immediate
ly. Whole nuts can also be used. For
collection purpose the Red Cross has
arranged 100 collection centers
through the country for the concen-
tration of shells. They will be shipped
from these points in car load lots to
the government carbon plants at
New York and San Francisco.
The Boy Scouts have enlisted the
aid of their $4,000 young members in
this work, as have the Camp Fire
Girls Through the Department of
Agriculture all county agents Of that
departments will organize nutting
parties In addition every school is
urged to arouse the interest of it's
pupils and encourage nut gathering
il every spare moment of the pupils
time
The aid Of the young people will be
absolutely necessary to supply the
100000 pounds of shells and fruit
stones that the government produc.
ton schedule calls for. The govern
ment cannot buy more than one-third
the necessary shells at present In
act, they declare, that the shells of
all the cocoanuts grown in the West
Indies and Central America, il they
3ould be obtained, would not fill the
needs. They are making ARRANGEMENTS
to get the shell from the East Indies.
but it will be months before this
plan can be put into cooperation. in
the meanwhile they must mix the
available shell charcoal with charcoal
This is not the best interest Of the
men because the wood charcoal set
ties making breathing difficult. and
it has not the absorptive qualities
of she'll charcoal.
The people, because of the small
ness Of the task asked of them, fail
ed to realize its importance and did
not respond well to the appeal made
during the fruit season What the
help of each person means is shown
by the fact that two peach stones or
two large nuts turned in each day by
each person in the nation would
supply the needs.It is hoped however
that no one will hold to this schedule
as there will be many unthinking per
sons quota to fill,
Gas barrages for some time have
been one of the principal factors in
German warefare. Their mustard gas,
with its horrible after affects. is one
of the worst atrocities of the war.
Even now, in their retreat. the Ger
mans are using a non-exploding. per
forated gas shell which they fire into
marsh lands and which makes the
the entire district into which they
are thrown section of death" for
days afterward.
This can all be successfully com.
battled if Americans will turn in their
hickory brazil, walnut and butter nut
shells and peach, apricot. prum, plum
olive date and cherry stones. for gas
mask for American soldiers.

KAISER THANKS PROVIDENCE FOR
 HELPING EMPIRE

Amsterdam, Aug. 2-In- procla- nation issued to the German people Emperor William says:
 -Four years of hard struggle have passed, full of eternally memorable deeds. An example has been gwen for all time of what a people can do that stands in the field for a most just cause and for the maintenance of it's existence.
 Gratefully revering the divine hand which has been gracefully ex- tended over Germany, we may proud ly say we were not found unworthy in the tremendous task before which Providence placed us.
 ''If in the struggle our nation was given leaders capable of the highest achievements it has daily proved by fidelity that it has deserved to have such leaders How could the army front have performed it's tremendous deeds if the entire labor at home had not been carried to the highest meas ure of personal performance. Thanks are due to all who, under difficult con- ditions, have co-operated in the task set the state and community and especially to our faithful unwearying officials Thanks are due likewise to the countrymen and townsmen and also the women on' whom in this war time so much falls"

TO CUT SALARIES
 OF WIRE OFFICIALS

Washington, Aug. 2.-The pruning knife is to be used by the government upon high salaried officials of the tel egraph and telephone companies. Elk tensive economies along this line can be instituted without interfering with the service to the government or the public.
 In it's determination to cut down ex- penditures in this direction, the com mission feels that, within a short time, the rates upon both telegraph and telephone messages can be mater
 ially reduced.
 Through the unifcation of the sys- tems the government will save also
 many thousands of dollars a year. Up to the time the wire companies
 passed to the control of the Post Of fee Deparment, the telegraph com panies had their separate officers. While these officials remain on duty
 under the Postmaster Generals order | issued Wednesday night, there will be
 a consolidation as soon as the organi- Zation of the department is perfected. The Postmaster General and those associated with him in the operation Of the telegraph and telephone lines are at work upon a plan which, it is
 believed, will result in promoting eff flciency. It is felt by them that the actual operation of the two wire sys- ems should, be placed in charge of
 experienced telegraph and telephone
 men, those who are and have been in sympathy with government control of j these utilities.

Washington, Aug. Joint action between Japan, the En- tente powers and America in Siberia is assured.
 Japan has found acceptable the American proposal which primarily looks to the aid of the Czecho-Slovak, now operating in Siberia, and after exchanges between Tokyo and Washing ton which have cleared up all doubtful points and removed any possibility of future mis- understanding a complete agreement has been reached.
 The plan of operation will be put into execution at once.
 Soon after it had been learned that Japan had accepted the American proposal President Wilson walked to the state, war and navy department building, where he conferred for half an hour with acting Secretary Polk and Secretary Baker in the war sec retary's office.
 The president and MT. Polk left the office together and as they walked along the corridor they had a very serious conversation, which was con- tinued for five minutes in front of MT Folks office, before the president re- 1 turned to the White House.

HOLD PERUVIAN FOR SEDITIOUS
 STATEMENTS
Department of Justice Has Many Complaints of Ma
 tives of South America.
Friday, Aug. 2

The local branch of the Department of Justice has been having a great many cases brought to its attention ot Spanish residents of the city writing untrue and seditious reports to foreign countries. The writers of such letters will be brought before the department and are liable to find themselves in considerable difficulty.
 As as example of this kind, Alexan- der Malino Castro, a Peruvian, em- ployed by the Warner Corset Co.,, and 8 former employe of the Remington Arms Co.,, was arrested yesterday, talk en to Hartford, and placed in the GUS tody of the United States marshal. The letters which caused his arrest were addressed to South America, and contained some very startling suppos- ed war news, citing this country as panic stricken, and evidently written with the idea of discrediting the United States.
 One letter addressed to his father will be used as evidence against him, and tells of the condition of the peo- pie of New York who are in such deadly fear of air raids that their condition borders on insanity. He also claims that the generals of the United States Army have told the peo- pie 'tto raise an army as best they can"
 Much harm may be done by the spreading of such seditious and false statements in South American coun- tries, which are not particularly sure of, their, sentiments, and the Depart this arrest.

Washington, Aug. 2-The Ameri- caan forces in France have reached such a high stage of training in the new methods of warfare that they are to furnish instructors for the new units being organized in the United States. No additional instructors from the Allied armies will be asked except possibly in special technical cases.
 It was learned officially today that the war department has ordered q number of officers back from France to command brigades in the 12 new divisions, the formation of which was announced by Gen. March, chief of staff, in the last two weeks.
 Among the officers known to have received their orders are Brig. Gen Douglas MacArthur, who is to go tc Camp Meade, Md, and Brig. Gen Cornelius Vanderbilt, who went over | seas as a colonel of engineers, tc | Camp Lewis, Washington.

DECISIONS ARE
 HANDED DOWN BY JUDGE ). R. BOOTH
Friday, Aug. 2

Judge John R. Booth of the Com mon Pleas Court handed down three decisions yesterday, the first being that in the suit of Burns & Crunp against the Metropolitan Lumber Co. of Newark, N. J., for damages in- cured when the defendant failed to furnish the local contractors with a carload of lumber according to their contract. Damages of $S74 were awarded.
 Miner D. Randall was awarded the sum of s1, 30059 for services rendered Samuel D. Cant of Grenewich in the disporal of his property, The Rocks" |" in Darten. He obtained a purchaser who bought the place for S25,0OO after which Cant refused to pay Randall his commission. Judge Booth found the commission should be paid and ordered the above mentioned sum be given him by Cant.
 Judge Booth found that Frank B. Roberts failed to prove his case against Ada Pagan of Danbury and gave a decision in favor of the de- fendant. Roberts alleged that motors from the garage on the Pagan prop erty drove across the Roberts lawn and that fences which Roberts erect ed were removed. Roberts failed to prove title to the property in ques- ton.
