partment's division of western euro
pean affairs and former secretary of
the American embassy at Berlin, and

The party sailed from an Atlantic
port a week ago Wednesday, before

prepared to speak for the president
in any negotiations that may be con-
Quoted. concerning questions to be
determined before the military men
gite the terms on which an armis-
tice would be possible or for the for
mutation of conclpte terms upon
which peace may be made whenever
the Germans are ready To surrender
Admiral Benson is expected to rep
resent the United States navy in the
discussion of naval questions, as Gen
eral TaSker II. Bliss represents the
army on the supreme war council. The
naval as well as the military leaders
of the cO-belligerentS have important
problems to settle before their govern
mentS are informed of the conditions
under which hostl.ties might cease
with the power of the German war
machine broken and fettered beyond
possibility of disputing any program
of peace America and the allies may
decide TO impose.
The fact that Colonel House left for
Europe several days before President
Wilson's final reply to Germany was
despatched is further proof that every
step of the presidents negotiations
with Germany has been taken in full
accord with the entente governments.
1t also is taken to Indicate the decis-
ion to transmit the German plea to
the allies under certain conditions was
reached even before the last note
from Berlin was received.

turn a Democratic congress in the No

Letter From Taylor Howeth
France, Sept. 10, 1918.

France, Sept. 10, 1918.
Dear Mamma:
l am yet among the running, some
where in France. The weather con-
tinues to be sublime, though | must
confess that l have been poorly for
the past week; feel somewhat better
now; nothing to worry about, you
know; just a case of stomach trouble
Speaking of the war, 1 really be-
lieve if we continue on the way we
are going at the present time, that
there will be chance of the war
ending in time for us to be home for
Christmas, year nineteen hundred
and twenty, A. D.
Mother, dear, / am beastly proud
of Hurlock, my home town. and l
feel confident that the folks living
there will do as well in the Fourth
Liberty Loan as the Hurlock boys
"over here are going to do in their
battles. They are going to make
GOOD, know; that is, II our town or
home folks are going to back us with
every spare dollar they can raise.
Our success here depends on you at
home; without your help we can do
nothing, SO the greater your help, the
greater will be our winning, and the
greater our winnings, the sooner the
war Will end. So tell the people at
home that we are depending on them,
and if they fail us, we will be
ashamed and disappointed in them.
Love and best wishes to you and
the rest.
Your loving son,

Red Star Asks Relief

Persons who do not fully under
stand the Importance of "The Red
Star Animal Relief do not realize
that in helping the Army horse,
mule and dog, they are doing a
work Of the utmost Importance for
the soldiers. Without the animal
transport system, the soldiers can
not always be fed, or supplied with
munitions with which to defend
themselves, or defeat the enemy.
Cavalary scouting, light artillery,
advance supplies and even ambul-
ance service without horses are
largely crippled, especially in
rough country. Motor service is
not sufficient or the belligerents in
Europe would not have gathered
4,5OO,O00 horses for field service.
The dogs trained for wal service
have saved many lives, and given
alarm when the enemy approached
when man could not detect his
| presence.
The work of "The Red Star Re-
lief" is to conserve and save army
animals by improved hospita
service. In relief work the "ReC
Cross" and the RED STAR viii
march side by side, relieving suf
fering and saving lives. A fund o.

WELFARE OF
FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
Government Provides Pleasant
Quarters

The Federal Government is not
only giving close attention to the
matter of the proper housing of its
new appointees in Washington, but
the general welfare of the employ
ees is now considered in greater
measure than ever before. Many
of the young people who have
come to Washington for war work
are hundreds, even thousands, of
miles from home for the first time
in their lives. They are strangers
in strange land, and it is not to
be wondered at that they become
homesick and magnify the troubles
that they are bound to meet dur
ing the period of adjustment to
new conditions. The department
heads realize that a good clerk
must be a contented one, and many
offices have appointed welfare
workers whose business it is to
take an unobtrusive interest in the
AFFAIRS of the employees and to try
to help them with their difficulties.
Experiments along this lone have
had such good results that the
number of offices which employ
welfare workers is increasing.
Since the war began about
$4,000 employees have been added
to the civil service in Washington,
D. c. The United States Civil
Service Commission, whose duty it
is to- recruit this branch Of the
service, estimates that this cal
endar year will add another TO-
600. Stenographers are being ap-
pointed in great numbers. There
is also need for clerks, both men
and women, who are trained in
certain special or technical lines
ship-building. The representatives
of the civil service commission al
the post offices in all cities are pre-
pared to furnish definite informa
tion and application blanks.

Ground Glass Found
In Only One of 200
Cases Investigated
[Stuf Correspondcncc1

WASHINGTON, April e. Ground
glass in food stuffs has been discovered
by the Federal authorities in only one
case cut Of two hundred investigated,
the Committee on Public Information
declared day in a statement discour
aging publication of "ground glass"
stories before thorough inquiry has es-
tablished the veracity of the reports
The committees statement says:
"Thc case in which glass was found
occurred at Fort Smith. Ark. A baker
in that town had had trobule with his
employees, one of whom, desiring to de-
stroy his employers business, had
filled with glass a loaf of bread which
was to be delivered to an orphanage
When the bread was served to the in
mates of the institution several of them
suffered decorations Of their lips. No
moro serious injuries resulted. The
case was given premature publicity, the
baker being accused Of being a German
agent, with the result that he had to re-
tire from business.
major James Miles, head Of the bu
rcau of the Food Administration which
has directed the Investigations, las per
sonally conducted ten inquiries in and
within the vicinity Of the District of
Columbia, and at his behest tn Secret
Service has made the other investiga-
tions reported to the Food Adminstra-
tion.
"Other intelligence services of the
Federal government have also made nu-
merous Investigations Of reports that
We're brought in the first instance to
their attention. These latter inquiries
have proved the reports TO be practi-
cally as groundlcss as those investi-
gated by the Food Administration. In
a few cases glass and other foreign
substances were found in the coarser
foodstuffs, but the presence of these
foreign substances was patiently at
tributable to careless milling rather
than to design.
"Rcplying to a letter relating to the
most recent case reported to the Food
Administration, Major Miles said:
"'We have followed the elusive
groundglass story from Maine to Cali
forna and from the lakes to the Gulf
for the last four months War intclli
gcncc, navy intelligence and the Depart
mcnt of Justice are doing the same,
and in the thousands Of cases that have
been reported we have found but one
genuine case of deliberate intent in
putting ground glass in food. This
case was where u disgruntlcd cmployc
Of a bakery in Fort Smith, Ark, placed
glass in one loaf Of bread This was
done for the purpose of injuring the
business of the baker, and succeeded so
we'll that the baker is out Of business

Delinquency Of Girls
Abnormal i'm State
War Blamed for Increase,
Which Is Offset by Author
tiles Efforts

ALBANY, April 1.-THE war has in
creased delinquency in the state, es-
pecially among young girls. but this
increase has been offset to a large de-
gree by greater vigilance on the part
of probation officers, the probation
commission stated in its report to the
Legislature, made public tonight
The commission found that the num-
Der Of young girls placed on proba-
tion from the courts began to in
crease at about the time the United
States entered the war, and the num-
Der has remained abnormally large
ever since. This increase was said to
be due to greatly increased temptations
to young girls about soldiers camps
and to the attractiveness of the uni
form. The report pointed out the need
ments, the prevention Of promiscuous
soldiers and the immediate need for
meeting of young girls and stranger
more probation officers, especially
women, to deal with these cases.
During the statistical year ending
June /, 1917. 81, SAT persons were placed
on probation, an increase of 13 per
cent over the year previous.
The commission believed there is a
direct connection between the recent
marked decrease in the population of
the correctional institutions of the
state and the steady increase in the
use of probation. The population of
the state prison was almost 1000 less
in 1917 than in 1916

Health Officer Puts Ban on
Sales in All of City's
500 Stores
Samples To Be Tested
Investigators See Enemy Plot
Against Workers in Mu-
nitions Plants

WATERBURY. Conn.,, April IVA
terbury girls suffered a candyless Sun
day to- day, not by Mr.. Hoover's decree,
but because the city health officer had
ordered all local candy stores closed
because Of a ground glass scare.
For the last week Waterbury folk
have been reporting finding glass in
both it's bread and candy. Eight thou
sand loaves were condemned in a local
bakery last Thursday by DR.. c. W. S:
had been condemned reports of glass in
candy began coming in to such an ex-
tent that on Saturday DR.. Frost sent
roice to stop the sale of all candy
within the city limits.
None of the candy in which glass was
reported was made in Waterbury. Gov
crnmen. Secret Service men are now
making Investigations at the out of
town plants to which the candy has
been traced
"The candy said to have contained
glass;" said DR.. Frost to-day, "came
from plants that sell considerable of
their products to stores in the NUM-
tion making cities in this section. The
glass was found principally in choco-
late bars and peanut brittle, the kind
of candy which working man would
be most likely to buy. Government
agents are now trying to find out
whether the glass found in candy in
Waterbury means blow aimed at
muntion makers.
THE pieces Of glass which I have
taken from candy in Waterbury vary
from the size Of pin point to particles
, one-sixteenth of an inch long. The
biggest piece found might easily have
been swallowed undetected by n man
who does not chew his food thoroughly
"Of course, particles of glass might
get into candy by accident, but when
saw twelve different pieces of candy
containing glass Saturday l considered
that too high an average for accidents,
SO ordered no more candy sold in
Waterbury,"
About five hundred stores were
affected. Stores handling candy as
side line were not forced to close, but
the candy showcases were covered.
The police collected samples of candy
from all stores and turned them over
to chemists. who will begin analyzing
them Monday morning.
Or. Frost said the candy ban would
not be lifted until the chemists had ex-
amined all the samples. Then the
stores will be permitted to resume the
sale Of candy from firms whose prod
ucts were found free Of glass. This
examination may take several days.
The eight thousand loaves of bread
were condemned in the plant Of Rey-
mond Brothers. Waterbury's biggest
bakers. Dr.. Frost forbade the sale of
the baAery's entire Thursday output.
DR.. Frost said he took this action after
glass had been found in loaves from
two previous days bakings Two enemy
alien Germans worked in the plant.
One of these is now being held on p
technical charge while police investi-
gate further. The other has been dis
charged from the bakery.
The bakery was permitted to resume
business when the company agreed to
have two guards, approved by the po-
lice, on duty all the time bread is be-
Jig made.
