AUSTRIAN HUNS RESENT FALL OF
 COUNT CzERNIN

Basel, Switzerland, April r - The tone of the Austrian and German press indicates that a profound inn precision has been caused in those countries by the downfall of Count Czernin. The German people and the German element in Austria resent the retirement of the minister and after h6s resignation was announced, began a vigorous campaign for the appointment as his successor of former Premier Tisza, Count An drassy, or another Hungarian whose views agree with theirs.
 The Mittag Zeitung of Vienna says Count Czernin's fall was due in part to agreement with the emperor in re- gard to Poland and to his attacks on the Czechs.
 The same elements that deplore the fall of Count Czernin are beginning to attack the German foreign minister, Dr. von Kuehlmann, on the pretext that he did not protect Germanys in- terests sufficiently in the treaty of Brest-Litovsk.

EPISCOP PAL|ANS RAISE WAR FUND
 OF S6OO,OOO

New York, April 17-Bishop Will liam Lawrence, chairman of the War Fund Commission of the Episcopal Church, announced today that the Commission had just raised approxi- mately $6OO,O00 for work with the troops in camp and field in 1918. He also appealed to members of the Episcopal Church to subscribe to the Third Liberty Loan, saying:
 "As your representative in war ac- tivities, we venture to remind you of these definite duties
 First: The Third Liberty Loan makes it's demand on every member of Christ's Church. The strength the lives, and the victories of our boys and men depend directly upon their munitions, barracks, hospitals, ships and supplies; and these depend directly upon your economies and sacrifices in subscribing to the Liberty Loan.
 Second: For the support of our Allies and for our own defense, the Allies and all our people must have nutritious food; the soldiers and sail ors must have the best food on which to fight. The men and women of the Church will not wait for others to be frugal. They will lead in frugality; they will work upon the farms and gardens for the vindication of peace and justice
 Third: To whatever demands the authorities make-the conservation ot fuel and light, the restriction of travel, and of the comforts as well as the luxuries of daily life; to what ever call for service in the Red Cross shop or factory, the home, at the rear or front, the members of Christ $ Church will respond"

 ''The big thing for America to do is to support the war;" the secretary continued; to support it financially and with firm belief. The right arm of America is in France. It is barred and ready to strike. The rest of the body is here in the United States and it must support the arm. This support should include subscriptions to Liberty loans as well as moral sup port of high confidence"

37 LIVES LOST
 IN SINKING OF
 STR. JENNINGS

An Atlantic Port, April 17-Thirty- seven lives were lost when the Ameri- can steamer o. B. Jennings and the British steamer War Knight, both laden with naptha and inf1ammable oils, collided off the British coast on March 24, according to members of the crew of the O. B. Jennings, who arrived here today.
 All who perished, with one excep- tion, were on the British vessel. They were burned to death by blazing gas and oil.
 Those who survived the flames on the War Knight were rescued in the nick of time by destroyers, for soon afterward, while the blazing hull was being lowed toward shallow water, it struck mine and was blown up.
 The destroyers went to the rescue through a field of blazing oil and took off also the crew of the Jennings. A number of the crew of the American ship were, however, severely burned Ard had to be removed to hospitals after being landed.

CONSCRIPTION IN
 IRELAND PASSES BY BIG MAJORITY

London, April 17-The government man power bill, including conscrip- tion in Ireland passed it's third read ing in the house of commons yester- day by majority of 176.
 Premier Lloyd-George, in urging the passage of the bill, said the sit uation in France still was very seri- ous- The empire needed all the men it could get He had no real fear for the result, however. The British army still stood in the way of the Germans and the French army was intact, while the American Army was coming across the sea.
 Gen Plomer, British commander in Flanders, was confident, he said, and so was Gen. Foch, French tomman- der-in-chief of all the Allied forces. The country should stand solidly to- gether, he said, and achieve victory.
 Sir Edward Carson, Unionist leader, said he would support the bill, no matter if it placed Ulster in sub ordinate position to the Home Rule element, or even if it put them under SIDn Fein domination. Even this, he saSd, would be preferable to such gov ernment as would be impose.i by the Germans.

BABIES SUFFER
 FROM DECREASE
 IN MILK SUPPLY

Washington, April 17.-How many babies and little children in Baltimore are being deprived of sufficient milk to properly nourish them and the fact that some are actually getting no milk at all as the result of a steady decrease in milk production is brought out by an investigation by the Children's Bu- reau of the Departmen of Labor.
 The investigation included 756 child ren between the ages of and of whom it was found only 219 had fresh milk to drink against 454 a year ago. Of those only 20 received much as three cups a day. Babies under two fared slightly better, their needs being generally understood better than those of children of two years or over.
 It was found that 107 families bought no fresh milk at all as against 37 a year ago. The families included one-fourth of all the children under 2. Substitution of tea and coffee for milk in children's diet was found pre- valent That is regarded by the l Children's Bureau as the most seri- ous aspect of the Investigation. Of 575 children not drinking milk 36S were found to be drinking tea and cof- fee and 13S were sharing the family diet.
 | The children investigated represented families with various incomes but the decreases in the amount of milk pur- chased was not unlike for families of different earning capacities. Some mothers seemed to realize that milk should be provided at any sacrifice while others who could afford it, the report says, failed to grasp the inn portance of what 1t meant to the chil- dren.
 Foreign mothers with very limited incomes were generally the last to cut down on thir children's milk

their relations with the French and British are cordial and sympathetic, he said.
 "One rarely meets an American sol dier in France who does not smile and wave his hat,'' MT. Baker said. '"The only sad Americans there are those who fear they have to come home before the job is done."
 ''The impression one gets in France is one of determination, confidence and enthusiasm said MT. Baker.
 'So far as the work of our own forces is concerned, it gives one the impression of magnitude, thorough ness and speedy accomplishment. No hours of work are observed and there are no limitations on labor.

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

In no previous week of the laying contest now running at Storrs has there been such close competition among pens. Clifor6 I. Stoddard's Leghorns from Woodbridge, Conn.,, and Tom J. Adamson's Barred Rocks from Laurel, Quebec, tied for first place with 56 eggs each. Deer Brook Poultry Farms R. I. Reds from Short Falls, IN. H., were in second place with a yield of 55 eggs. Two pens of Barred Rocks entered by Merritt M. Clark, Brooked Center, Ct, and In- gleside Farm, Palervine, N. r., Fred Rockwood's Buff Wyandottes from South Brookline, N. H., Springdale Poultry Farms R. I. Reds from Dur ham, Conn.,, and two pens of Leg horns owned by George Phillips, Sey- mour, Conn, and Oak Hill Estate, Uniontown, Pa, all tied for third place with 53 eggs each. As further evil dence of the cFoseness of the compe- tition it may be said that a Long Is- land pen of Barred Rocks, a MaSsa- chusetts pen of White Rocks, a Rhode Island pen of White Wyandottes, a Connecticut pen of Buff Wyandottes and a New Jersey pen of White Leg horns all tied for fourth place with ] 50 eggs each. Thus there was a total of Il hens tied for third and fourth places. The total yield for all pens amounted to 4,351 eggs or a produce tion of 62.2 per cent.
 During the twenty-third week unmarketab1e eggs were laid; these were so small that it would require 3S of them to weigh a pound-where- as the commonly accepted standard is 8 eggs to a pound. On the other hand Homer P. Deming's R. l. Red No. 3SO laid an egg that weighed inst a trife over ounces or an av- craze of 4 eggs to the pound. It | has been more or less commonly be- Heyed that abnormally small or large eggs marked the beginning or end | of a hens clutch, but this theory is no longer tenable; the fact is that hens are more likely to lay very small eggs or very large eggs at or during the height of the laying sea- son: in other words, when egg pro- duction is at it's zenith there is ob- viouslv greater opportunity for ab- | nornnality; neither the little egg nor the bie one means that hen has just l started to lay or that she has fin- ished and is about to become broody. finder sized or over sized eggs are a good sign that the flock is laying heavily.
 The three best pens in each of the 1 principal varieties are as follows:
