Bolshevists Stripped Place of Practically Everything
 Turned Into Inn.

London. Oct. 16-By A. PA de- tailed account of the sacI1ing of the American Embassy in Petrograd last July is published here for the first time, the information having come from what is said to be an authorative source
 The Bolshevik conntssary, KaroIov, took posse ssiou of the Elm mbassy in | morning of July 10. Every cup~ board and press was searched. doors being burst open if the keys could net be found at once. The commissary stated that they were searching for concealed provisions, valuabIes or fire arms. Their search was fruitless,
 In a second search a week later Red soldiers stripped the place of prac,i- calIy everything. When the soldiers had finished the crowd burst in and footed what had been left. Members of the Red army then took ur their quarters in the Embassy, which they have virtually turned into an inn.

 SCORE THE TIE KAHN
 BILL FOR SERVICE

Congressman Kahn't recent pro- test that there was nothing Prussian in the compulsory training bill which bears his name has drawn q sharp and specific rejoiader from the American Union Against NIiIitarisnl Charles T. Hallinan, secretary of the Union, calls attention to a miss ate menc of fact in the congressman s protest, and, Incidentally, to an as pect of the Standardization bill which has thus far escaped general notice. Says MT IFallinan:
 Tn recent letter of yours ad- dressed to the American Defense so- ciety you draw d fancifuI distinction between the Irussian system of uni Tersal training and the system pro- posed in the bill which bears your name In that letter you assert cate G0rically that the American youth, under your system, would be subject ed to training but not to service, , and you declare roundIy that he will never be asked to join the Army while in training unless, unfortu- nareIy. We should become involved in war
 This is an extraordinary misstate- ment of fact Section nine of the bill which bears your name provides-as you must surely have known-that whenever. in time of peace, the Army, Navy or Marine Corps fall short of their required quotas of vol unteers, they are privileged, by your bill, to reach into the training camps and 'select-presum by lOttery-enOugh lads to bring their ranks up to the full number appro- Driated for by Congress. The boys who are thus stuck under your pro posed seleCtive system are required to serve a full year in the Army, Navy or Marine Corps and ten years in the reserve. And this in addition 10 their six months training period.
 Tt seems to us that you owe the American Defense Society and the public some explanation of your statement that under your bill the boys will not be asked to serve'.''

FORTY SAFETY
 CARS FOR USE
 IN THIS STATE
Main Part of Them Will Run on Bridgeport
 Lines.

The date at which the zone system of fares will be put into effect on the trolley roads has not yet been deter mined, according to information re- ceived by The Times from the local office of the Connecticut Company
 Manager Goodwin is at present working out the number of zones to surrounding towns and the amount of fare that will be charged between those towns and this city and these will be announced in a few days.
 Forty safety cars, most of which will be put in service on lines in Bridgeport, have been bought by the Connecticut Company and are now being built at the Bradley Car Works in Worcester, Mass.
 In addition to these cars, the Con- necticut Company is rebuilding in it's own shops 50 single truck cars which will be distributed over the com ,pany's property. The cars which are being rebuilt will be equipped with safety devices for one-man operation.
 The safety cars have given much satisfaction since they were put in operation last February in Bridge port, New Haven and Hartford. The public like the cars, because they are so speedy and furnish more ire quent service thans is possible with the heavy doubIe-trucK cars.
 The company has not yet decided just how many of the forty new cars will be placed in Bridgeport, but most of them will go to that city, although a few will be placed in New Haven and Hartford
 The cost of the forty new cars Is approximately s240,00O.

DENY LORDS SON
 RIGHT TO MOTOR
Hon. H. E. Eaton Arrested for Ninth Time for
 Speeding.

London, Oct. 16. - The Hon. Her bert Edward Eaton, younger son of Lord CheyIesmore, is in trouble about his automobile. This is the ninth time within a year that he has been convicted of reckless driving, and now he has had his license suspended for six months
 Young Eaton, who is about twenty four years of age, and a subaItern in the Grenadier Guards is in that pleas ant and irresponsible set of youths known in Oxford and in London as The Princes lot" He is very popu- lar and full of go" and like the Prince of Wales, a daring and reck- less motorist.
 This last exploit appears to have been a little matter of running his Rolls-Royce along country road at fifty miles an hour, and coming into contact with the off side front wheel of a motor lorry. Both vehicles were badly damaged, but py a miracle no one was hurt.
 The motor lorry driver said he was only going at twenty miles an hour, and that he was sounding his e1ectri2 hooter before he arrived at the cor ner at which the collision took place. MT. Eaton, he said, as soon as he picked himself out of the debris of his car, proceeded to insult him (the lorry driver) by telling him he was unfit to drive a perambulator.
 No sooner was young Eaton con vtcted it is stated, then he sent tele- grams to all his friends and a cable to his Royal Highness in Canada, an nouncing that he had "done it again and he was hung up'' for the rest Of the season.

HIGHWAYMAN
 SUPPOSED TO BE FROM BRIDGEPORT

Thomas W. Condon, 38, an aleg- ed highwayman, who gives his address as 765 Howard avenue, Bridgeport, was arrested yesterday afternoon in Newark. \. J., after a thrilling chase through the streets of that city.
 The pursuit started after Condon had been foiIed in an attempt to hold up the manager and cashier of the Western Electric Co.'S tool mak- ing shop. The fugitive attempted to commander an automobile to make his escape, but the driver of the machine frustrated his plans.
 Condon, according to the police. was born in Bridgeport, and in 1914 conducted a private detective agency in this city. The local police have no record of the man, but it is believed that he was formerly employ ed at the Remington Arms Co.'S plant.
 In his rooms the police found a set of false whiskers and a newspa- per clipping telling of the escape of Frank Williams from the Ansonia jail. Condon stated that he knows the officer whom Williams eluded, and a friend sent him the clipping.

MUST SAVE
 FORESTS TO
 HAVE PAPER

Bangor. Me, Oct. 16. - This is the paper age" said Secretary R. s. Kellogg of the Newsprint Service Bureau of New York to the members of the Eastern Forest Products Asso- citation in session here.
 Paper is the cornerstone of de- motracy. Our educational institutions and our press, the foundations of our civilization are wholly dependent on paper to convey the message that means spread of the gospel of civil ization and world betterment. There fore" he continued, "a considera tion of ways and means to conserve and increase our paper supply is an ex- tremely important matter
 The consumption of newsprint per capita has jumped from nine pounds in 1894 to 35 pounds in 1919. The de- Velopment of processes for making paper from wood is responsible to a large extent for the great increase in the use of cheap print paper.
 '1n 1894, there were 1916 news rapers and periodicals in the United States. In 1919, there are 21,664, and this represents a decrease of 1723 from 1917 caused by the war
 
 The circulation of daily newspapers in the United States exceeds 26, ,ooo,- 900.
 This years output OF newsprint in the United States and Canada would blanket 9,OO0,00O acres or more than the combined area of Massa achusetts and Connecticut. It would belt the earth IS miles wide. In the form of a standard roll 73 inches wide it would unwind 100000 miles and eight years output would stretch from the earth to the sun.
 This paper comes from our forests and the question of supply, then, is purely a forestry question. It takes one and a half cords of wood to produce a ton of newsprint
 Each year 100000 tons of news print are made in the State of Maine, requiring 5000 cords of wood. Over 1,000,000 cords of domestic pulp wood were used for all purposes in Maine last year. Computed at an average stand of five cords per acre. this required cutting over 100000 acres of forest. This means that the supply is rapidly decreasing. One million cords come each year from Canada, but the supply in that coun- 1iy IS iloI iheAaauStloIe ana may be legally restricted"
 To preserve the forests, the source of the nations paper, MT. Kellogg urged that a broad gauged public policy be adopted with respect to as sisting the private owner by such means as fair taxation, forest man agement and fire prevention. He urged the public purchase of cut over land and forest planting in pub lie forests.

EXACT STATUS OF PRESIDENTS
 ILLNESS GIVEN
First Authentic Statement Clearly Defines
 Condition.

Washington, Oct, 16-This state- ment regarding the exact condition of President Wilson. published in the Philadelphia Public Ledger, may be accepted as authentic, The Public Ledger can vouch for it's authority in the matter. The text, presented just as it came into the po\esston of the Public Ledger reporer, rollowss
 F'irst-At Pueblo he (the Presi- dent) became confused. lost the thread of his speech, was unable to finish as he had prepared it and was obviously not in complete control of his faculties.
 Second-This situation, which pr, Grayson had been fearing, was due to no specific cerebral attack, was not caused by any brain lesion or hem orrhaEe, but was due to a general nervous and physical breakdown growing out Of his trip and the re- suit of 9 series Of contributing causes immediate and of long range.
 Third---For one thing, when presi- dent of Princeton, he had q somewhat similar mental and physical collapse due to overwors and to q situation in which he was fighting against a large group of people, but, as in the present case, there was no apoplectic stroke then.
 Fourth---The immediate cause Of the breakdown on the trip was due to the physical strain of the trip and the mental strain of his controversial speeches. In the first place he had a nasty cough resulting from the in f1uenza attack at Paris. A certain focal bronchial area gave him trouble and his coughing, which was aggra- yated when he lay down. kept him from sleeping at nights On top of 1hEs the travelling on the train brought on dysentcry alternating with consti- patton, which weakened him very Sc TiousIy and quite lowered his general resistance to the strain of the jour ney. Then. thirdly the shifting from high to low attitudes in travelling through Colorado affected him very lnfayoTabIy just at the time he reached Pueblo.
 Fifth---These complications brought on severe headaches with continuing cough and @ tWiuching of the muscles about the mouth on the left side. due to the nervous strain. With all these continuing symptoms coming to a crisis at Pueblo, Doctor Grayson saw that a much more serious attack could be avoided only by 2 return to Wash 1ngtCn with complete rest under ex- pert observation.

COLONEL JACQUES HERE WITH KING
 A NOTABLE: RYAN
Claims to Have Had "Front Row" Seat When Ger mans sharted Big
 Show in 1914.

New York, Oct. 16-Lieutenant General Baron Jacques. who, ac- cording to his own assertion, occu- pied the front seat in the front row. when the Germans opened the great international show in 1914. is the most striking member of the suite which is accompanying King Albert of Belgium on his visit in the United States. Tall, straight as an arrow, General Jacques looks like the fighting man he is and has been from boyhood, for he is one of the profes- sional soldiers upon whom Belgium relied when it made the great deci- sion which held up the German army until French and British soldiers could get into action.
 General Jacques was in command of the Twelfth Regiment, one of the crack military organizations of Bel gium and was stationed at Liege where General Leman was in com mand.
 T had never been impressed by the bOmbast of the German soIdiery and I had full confidence in my own men, said the General as he sat in his plainly furnished cabin on board the George Washington on the voy- age 10 New l Ork ana talked Of tn e early days of the war.
 We first came in contact with the Germans on the bridge at Vise and after a sharp fight drove them back capturing the flag of the 97th Bran denburg regiment.
 That fight aroused the people, and imm mediately we had more than a thousand civilian volunteers, digging trenches and helping in every way possible. General Leman issued a proclamation in which he said: Big Germany has invaded our country imposing an ultima,tum which con- stitutes an outrage. Little Belgium proudly accepts the challenge. The Belgium army will do it's duty. The people of Liege only ask to be al- lowed to do theirs''
 During the discouraging days which followed, when the Belgian army was compelled to retire from place to place until it at last had to give up Antwerp and begin its slow retreat along the coast, General Jacques nev- CT doubted the final outcome, and en- couraged his men by pointing out that when they reached the Yser riv- CT the backward movement would end. And so it did.
 My regiment had orders to hold D1Xn nud0 t1l1 OSaIn anu we ulu INOL until high command decided to evac- uate the town did we leave our places" said the General.
 The war is over. But the Ger mans still have arms and men. It is up to the Allies to see they do not use them again. I look upon the German as a barbarian who still has in his heart the desire to conquer, be- cause he is trained to it from the cradle. This war was not war entirely of the Kaiser's making. It was a war of the whole people, a war for loot They believed they would be able to get to Paris in six weeks, and the booty they took would amply compensate for the expense of min- tary operations.
 General Jacques has had an ad- yenturous career. As a young of ficer he went out to the Congo, and in the early nineties began his mem orable fight against the Arab slave traders. On one occasion, when he and his natives were hard pressed h., a- larea tody of Arab slave traders

TOO HIGH FOR 4. N. SINCER:
 QUITS ENGLAND

London, Oct. 16.-Adam N. Singer of Berkshire, son of the American inventor of sewing machines has con- plained to the Royal Commission on income tax that his income derived from property in the United States is so depreciated by double taxes, once in America and once i1 Great Britain, that he cannot continue to re- side in this country.
 Describing his situation and that of his brother. Washington NJ. G. Singer, he said their incomes were reduced to about 29 to 32 per cent. of what they would have been if untaxed. America he said takes 34 to 39 per cent. and the British inland revenue takes about one-half of what is left after the American tax is deducted
 By going to live in America we should double the incomes we actual ly receive" said Adam N. Singer One of our brothers has already done this''
