sORDTD REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP.

NHE Republican leadership of Connecticut is not of quality 1 to inspire admiration. Its several elements provd
 ing valuable criticism which completely relieves Dem ocrats of the necessity for doing anything of the i4d
 Democratic policy in Connecticut this concerned with obtaining the maximum amount of unity for the support the If harmony shattered let it be shattered by MT. Roraback and MT. King
 Politics has indeed become sordd when leader accuses the others of trading the life of the and the others reply that Mayor Wilson ought to be lieutenant because the notorious affair of the Baby Do the dive keeper
 In this controversy Mr. Roraback has somewhat the best of the situation in logic and Mr. King courage would be difficult prove that Roraback anticipating the death of the governor Mr. King declares the upstate leaders doing It would be comparatively easy to prove the facts connected with Baby Do and it would be difficult to prevent sderaton of the facts connected with this negro dive keeper when election is joined if Mayor Wilson the candidate
 It is not to be supposed that the upstate conscience tender that actually esents the alliance between dive keeper and Republican politics There must be many a that between politics and dive keepers not necessarily negro.
 But Baby Doll is burden. He did exist The facts record They be easily proved and something could be made of them But upstate prudence probably with getting rid of Hocomb than with any deep fear the election day consequences of the Baby Doll exposures
 In the midst of this intrigue Governor Hocomb bright spot He od but he is clean He has been enthusiastically loyal If the truth could be known, Roraback him as little King.
 It is up to the Democrats to nominate strong and loyal If Republican quarres develop the defeat Hocomb might in which event the Democracy should absolutely reliable man.
 The very argument of the years to the polls by powerful faction Republicans might beat him. for in the last election the Republican only by few thousand most of which obtained Fairfield county, which is the seat of disaffecion.
 The governor has awful load to carry If he is emi by death the state will be turned most sordid elements to do they please with.

kUHLMAN TELLS 'CERMANY'S AIMS
 IN WORLD WAR Addresses Reichstag and Blames Russia for Starting the Great Disturbance. INDEPENDENCE IN
 HISTORIC BOUNDS Desire Overseas Possessions In Accordance with Great
 ness and Wealth.

Amsterdam, June 25-Chief blame Russia's door by Dr. von Kuehlmann, the German foreign secretary, in an address to the reichstag yesterday in which he also dealt with Ger many's war aims. France and Eng land were named as the next powers in order of culpability
 T believe" said Dr. von Kuehl- mann, that one can say without fear of contradiction, as the result of revelations, that the deeper we go into the: causes of this war the clearer it becomes that the power which planned and desired the war, was Russia; that France plays the next worse role as instigator, and that England's policy has very dark pages to show"
 Referring to Germany's war aims Dr. won Kuehlmann said:
 we wish for the German people and our allies a free, strong inde- pendent existence within the boun- daries drawn for us by history. We desire overseas possessions cores bonding to our greatness and wealth the freedom of the sea, carrying oul trade to all parts of the world.'
 With Bulgaria, recent events, es. pecially the peace negotiations, have facilitated the drawing closer of many personal and political ties. It is ; matter of regret, which the German public shares, that Premier Radosla voff, who has been pillar of our al liance, recently resigned for interna political reasons. The explicit as surances of his successor and the ex alted personality of the great states man who wears the Bulgarian crowI are a guarantee to us that there vii be no change in the policy hithert. followed"
 Dr. Von Kuehlmann again wen over the question of the Dobrudja which is the subject of negotiations between Turkey and Bulgaria, anc added:
 But there does not exist any con f1ict in interest between us and Fur key.".
 Dr. Won Kuehlmann announced that within the next few days a con- ference would be held at Constant nople where the questions that hal arisen between the quadruple al liance and "the Caucasian people would find a settlement"

Bakeries Ordered
 to Cut Production

Hartford. June 25.---Two bakeries, the New York Bakery of Rockville and Kelley's Busy Corner Bakery in MiddIetown, have been ordered by the food administration to cease bak- ing all products other than bread and rolls. These two bakeries with number of other bakeries and hotels in the state have been given hearings during the last few weeks by Federal Food Administrator Robert Scoville on the charge of having exceeded their allotment of 70 per cent. of wheat flour.
 When the bakeries were placed un- der license, they were advised that the normal wheat consumption in this country had already been cut at the mills to 70 per cent. and that this cut scale would prevail all along the line, Notwithstanding their own sworn fig ures of previous consumption, many of the bakeshops throughout the country have gone ahead and in- creahed their business in the face of the known wheat shortage and the food administration has refused to tolerate such practices any longer, unless where there were extenuating circumstances or an obvious mistake | in computation.
