CARELESS GROCERS
 MUST CLOSE DOORS
SCOVille Will Break Them for
 Violation Of Food Rules

Hartford, Oct. 2.-"The first retailer in Connecticut who is fairly caught violating the new liberal wheat con- servatiOn regulations is going to be 'broke," said Robert Scoville, Con- necticut's federal food administrator today upon receipt of another batch of complaints from New Haven, Meri- den, New London and several places in Hartford and Litchfeld counties, that grOcers are selling large amounts of wheat flour with less than 20 per cent, of substitutes and in some cases without any substitutes at all.
 ''The way we are going to get these disloyal merchants is through the wholesalers" continued MT. Scoville. "A1l who1esalefs are licensed and so is every retailer who does a business of $100,000 a year, but most of the mer- chants about whom complaints are made are unlicensed. If we conVice any of them, we'll certainly issue an unfair order against them and this order, sent to every wholesaler in the State, will forbid him selling any of the controlled food commodities to the convicted merchant. For six months. while the SO-called 50-5O wheat sales rule was in effect, the re- taller was policed through the whole saler had to sell wheat flour pound for pound with substitutes to the re- taller. Since the Food Administra- tion modified the wheat conservation regulations, the retailer is permitted to buy in whatever amounts he desires from the wholesaler and is placed on his honor that he will sell to consum- CTS only in the ratio of four pounds of wheat flour with one pound of some of the substitutes. Reports from all over the State indicate that many re- tailers are untpa trlotic and grasping during these critical war times to the point that they are not even selling the one pound of substitutes and are hereby gaining considerable ann ount of business away from their com petitors who are observing the food rules and regulations. We have sev- eral cases in various sections of the State under investigation and I may say right now that drastic punishment will be meted out to every retailer who is shown to have violated the regulations"

Is SaccEarin Dangerous?
(The Yorkshire Observer. )

An authoritative decision on this still disputed question is urgently needed. On this side it was thought that the experts had come to the conclusion that nothing was to be feared from the use of the sweetening substance in reasonable quantities. But now the Secretary of Agriculture in the United States has wholly for bidden the use of SaCcharin in food, baSing his veto upon the decision of the Board of Consulting Scientific EX
 perts, who have declared that the use of quantities over three-te -tenths of a grain per day is likely to impair diges
 ton, with the result that it becomes an adulterant under the food and drugs act Before this decision Anne rican food manufacturers had applied saccharin as a sweetening agent to over thirty food products. In view of the corrected American practice our own people will be reduced to a con- ditiOn of uncertainty again, and steps should be taken to secure such a con- elusive analysis as will leave so i'm portant a matter no longer in doubt

NEW BRITAIN GAVE $1,OO4.7O

Commander William H. Beckett of A. G. Hammond Camp, No. 5, Spanish War Veterans, is in receipt of a com munication from Past Commander Charles M. Newton, acknowledging re- ceipt of New Britain's donations for the Pershing Fourth of July fund. The fund was collected in Connecticut to send to Connecticut troops overseas under Pershing, the money to be dis tributed among the boys evenly. There were at that time about 1000 boys and a fund of $42,000 was col lected which allowed $500 per man. As many of the men had not received any pay since they had arrived over seas, this money was a gOdsend to many of them as communications re- ceived from the boys state.
 Many interferenceS have pre- vented an earlier report. A consider able sum of money is still to be tele graphed and will be sent as soon as advices are received from France. New Britain's offering of $1,0O4.70 is the sixth largest in the state, New Haven having the largest subscrip- ton. $17,635.27. The entire amount collected was $50,582.28, the expenses s46363, the amount already sent to France SAP, ,000 and the amount on hand in the Aetna bank S8,118.65.

ATHLETICS AT YALE.
Games May Be Held Saturday on
 Students Own Time.

New Haven, Oct. 2.-Athletic con- tests among Yale men may be held Saturday afternoons. the only really free time for men in Students Army Training Corps at the university, ac- cording to an outline of athletic policy by Prof. Robert N. COrwin today. He also expressed a belief in the need of athletics.
 In his formal statement Prof Cor Win says, iA part:
 The war department has assigned of discovering and developing officer material fOr hc United States army. This new task will involve radical and far reaching changes in most matters which concern college life. The need is pressing and the work must be intensive. We, do not know what place in this new regime can be assigned to athletics. Any insistence upon a continuance of our usual prac- tice in these matters could only em- barrass those charged with the aC- Complshment of the present great task. Although the men in all units have full schedules ome 50 odd hours a week. Saturady afternoons will be free and it ought to be possible to have numerous inter-unit impromptu contests which would be fun for the participants and the spectators.
 "All of our athletic facilitise have been placed at the disposal of the commandant."

FEAR HAUNTED FERDINAND
King of Bulgaria Continually Remind
 ed of Russian CZar'S End-TeutOn Allies Declined to Send Assistance.

Paris Oct. 2-It was the fear of revolution at home and the failure of Germany and Austria to send him the military force he required that in duced King Ferdinand of Bulgaria to turn to the Entente for help, accord ing to Dominick Murphy, American consul general at Sofia,as quoted in Saloniki dispatch to the Matin.
 King Ferdinand, the account de- clares. assembled the grand council on September 23, with the result that formal demand was made on Berlin and Vienna for imm ediate assista nee Germany and Austria responded evasively.
 Anarchy was making serious prog ress in Sofia. ,Workmen and soldiers held meetings and passed laws. Bol- shevism in it's most excessive form be- came the regular order and manifes- tations were held before the royal palace.
 King Ferdinand, it is added, haunt ed by recollections of the execution of former Emperor Nicholas, was un- able to sleep. He considered it essen- tial for his country and for his own safety that a strong foreign military force should intervene, and thus, it is added, as Germany or Austria could not give him that force, he turned to the Entente.

manner of conducting our foreign af- fairs than MT. Lansing himself, just as it is infinitely superior to MT. Bur leson in the matter of conducting the Post Office Department but it's at Murphy in the premises, and to crit icise the State Department unjustly is childish and futile. As we are not at war with Bulgaria, American rep resentatives could take no part in the armistice conference. Out of courte- sy to us, as a co-belHgerent, the Ali lied Governments no doubt ascer- tained America's views on the BuI- garian plea before giving a formal consult us, nor was there any reason for a consular officer of this country to attend the conference so for this reason. and for no other, the State Department properly ordered MT. Murphy to return to his post If it had not done so, there was a possi- bility of diplomatic complications, which was just what the State De- partment desired to avoid Secretary Lansing wished to observe the usual procedure and etiquette in our for eign relations and thus there was no other course to pursue than Q send the Consul General back to Sofia If Germany, through the Swiss Minister in Washington who looks out for her interests in this country during the war, should propose an arristice through him to the State Department neither the Bulgarian Minister, nor the Bulgarian Consul-General in this country would have any right to at tend a conference where such 9 mat ter might be discussed. The fact that we are not at war with Bulgaria eliminates us and Bulgarian repre- sentatives from any discussions which do not immediately concern the two countries.
 We shall be glad to instruct the "Courant" further on this point if it so desires, but we hate to see it mak- ing such a spectacle of itself by such editorial comment as above quoted which shows clearly that it has not the slightest knowledge of the sub- ject which it purports to understand.

BARRAGE.

The following inquiry is typical of tion on this point lately received from readers:
 Would you kindly publish just
 what a "Barrage" is? pre-
 sume that most of us in a rough
 way understand that it is a curtain
 of fire used to hide the advance
 of the troops. But what I would
 like to know is how is the act
 accomplished. Is 1t done by
 machine guns that gradually
 raise the elevation when firing
 that causes the "barrage' or a
 curtain of fire to advance slowly
 ahead of the troops?
 A machine gun barrage cannot be raised. It is accom- plished by cross fire from machine guns at either end of the defending line so that the at tacking force must penetrate a double curtain of fire before it reaches the defensive force An ar t1llery barrage is employed when troops are advancing, to prevent the enemy from attacking them, and it is raised gradually as the progress. Another artillery barrage can also be thrown to the rear of the enemy to caught between two fires f''

The Red Rock Oil Company, which

Word comes from Steamboat

1t now appears that in spite Of the
passage of the war minerals bill there
is little certainty as to what the fu-
ture will bring forth. particularly in
regard to the manganese and tungsten,
in which Colorado miners are special
ly interested, owing to the large depos-
its in this state.
Boulder county closes 1918 with 80
per cent gain in silver production,
mainly from revived old mines. The
very latest ore strike 10 a high-grade

cut the past week, is from six to four

silver per ton.
The Leadville district shipped CO.,
s04 tons of ore running from 10 to 35
per cent manganese during the first
six months of 1918, and in spite of dis
turbed market conditions due to the
cessation of the war will probably
show nearly as large a production for
the last half of the year, according to
figures and estimates compiled by the
United States geological survey The
figures are exclusive of manganese
