NOT OBSERVING
 TERMS OF TRUCE

Warsaw, Wednesday Feb. 1e-(By the Associated Press)-The Germans are reported not to be observing the provisions of the arnistice agreement as to fighting in Posen. and it Is said that skirTnishes have occurred at scattered points, The morale of the Germans is declared to be low as Is evidenced by the reported sale of 8 battery of artillery to a Polish Cath olic priest, the price being 5000 marks.
 Colonel Harer, Polish chief of staff, announces in a bulletin that there Is military activity all along the Galician frontier. Attacks by Ukrai- nian troops have been repulsed in that region. In Lithuania, bands of BoIsheviki have been routed and 80 prisoners taken.
 Two million pounds of flour have arrived here from Danzig, coming through by railroad in record time without interference form the Ger mans. It will be distributed in this city, the Lodz mining district, Cracow and Lemberg. American officers will supervise sales of the four and will prevent speculators from getting it.
 Doubtless there are large quant- ties of food in Poland. especially of potatoes meat and sugar, but prices are prohibitive for the poor. Across the frontier in Posen as well as in East Prussia, the best hotels charge five marks for meals, as compared with 80 and 50 marks here. AL though the Warsaw hotels have been full of paying Russian refugees all winter, they have been raising prices since the arrival of the Allied mis- sions- They now charge five marks Q day for a room, and restaurant prices are 50 per cent higher than in Vienna or Berlin. Shoes which cost 400 Or 500 marks here can be obtained in East Prussia for 75 narkR

 Another Bridgeport hero who reg tstered today after having spent two months in hospitals in France as the result of gun shot wounds sustained in the fighting about Metz was Philip Pavadore of 50 Columbus place.
 Private Pavadore was drafted from Local Board , of this city and spent only three months on the front, but arrived in time to march on German soil with the American army of occu- patton. His wounds have entirely healed, and he expects to return to his native land, as soon as he has saved enough funds to make the trip to Italy. He has a wife living in that country. Pavadore had made pre- parations to have her join him in America when the war broke out. and his return to Italy will only be to bring her back to America with him.
 Seven men registered with the committee today. They were as fol- lows:
 Corp. Harold c. Main, Company D, 42nd Infantry, Camp Upton, 352 Will liam street; Thomas J. Smith, Com pany E, 9th Infantry, 1414 Pembroke street; Sergt- Theodore Reed, Com pany A, 9th Ammunition Train.

 German propagandists, Dr. Taylor found, favor the League of Nations and are filling the newspapers with articles saying President Wilson's doc trdneS should be considered as having become effective on the day the ar mistice was signed and should have been interpreted as leaving Alsace and Lorraine in German hands.
 The German army has alpparen tly been ddsOrgarized and demobiIized, for the most part, Dr. Taylor says but he believes 1t will be possible for the bureaucracy to restore Intlitarism if 1t is deemed desirable. Many Ger mans believe they will recover their battleshi4ss and merchant fleet and do not expect to give up any territory, and, in Dr. Taylor's opinion, a grave political upheavaI Ks probable with the signing of the treaty of peace.

Has Marks Of Twenty=TwO
 ShrapneI Wounds On Body

Back in his home town after having been given up for dead on the battle fields of France, and with only a slight limp to show the narrowing ex- periences he went through on the Soissons and Santfgny fronts, Private Thomas J. Smith of 1414 Pembroke street registered with the ''WelCOme Home'' Committee at City Hall today.
 The Bridgeport soldier was thrice wounded while serving with the American Expedidonary Forces and of the 5 months that have elapsed since his enlistment on November ', 1917, seven of them were spent in hospitals.
 Private Smith was member of Company F. 18th regular infantry and fought at Santigny, SoissOns and in Alsace-Lorraine.
 At Soissons Private Smith came into contact with shrapnel, and as the re- suit of an explosion, 22 fragments en- tered his abdomen. Some pieces of the lead stiu remain in his thigh. While laying on the battlefield, suf- fer..g from these wounds, the Hun attacked the American forces with mustard gas, and the seriously injur- ed boy received a full dose of this Practically every hair on his head was burned off, and 1t has not entirely grown back. He was taken to a hos pital where he lay for four weeks, and then returned to the front.
 Just two weeks after recovering g from his first wounds, Private Smith sustained what was thought to be a mortal wound from a German ma chine gun He lay in the hospital continually from that day-July 19,

of large indemnilies to unemployed persons and by suspending action on all questions vital to the future or the nation. Unemployed men in Ser lin are paid eight marks a day, while railway workers and street cleaners get only six marks daily Consequently, the men prefer to re- main idle.
 Plays so immoral that they would have been prohibited under the i'm pertal regime now are tolerated; thieving is prevalent; footing is com mon and the general public morale is very low, pr. Taylor remarks. He says the food situation is critical. and that in spite of the great reduction made in rations the nation cannot live un- til next harvest unless supplied by outside powers. The death rate has increased, especially among children between five and 15 years of age, children under two years faring bet ter than the rest through the self sacrifice of their mothers. Lack of fuel and raw materials has closed vir- tua1ly all industries and the railroads are hampered because they have little coal Labor conditions are so bad at the coal mines that there Is little prospect of an increase in the fuel output.

CONNECTICUT GAVE 5O,OOO
 SOLDIERS TO WORLD WAR

Connecticut furnished to the United States army more than 50,0o0 men, obtained by draft, voluntarily enlist menC or through the National Guard, according to ste tistics prepared by the general staff at Washington. That these men were less liable to death by disease than to death in battle-a sit uation the reverse of that faced by Connecticut troops in any previous war-is shown in a comparison of death rates as announced by General Peyton c. March, chief of staff.
 For the entire American army the battle death rate vas twenty per thou sand per year. In the expedttionary forces 1t was ffty-seven per thousand per year. The disease death rate was seventeen per thousand per year in the expeditionary forces, and sixteen in the army at home. General March has stated that the lower death rate from disease was due largely to the inoculation requirement and, second Iy. to the efficient work of the nedi- cal corps. And the actual disease rate would have been cut tn half had 1t not been for nhe inoculations.
 Comparative battle and disease death rates per thousand per year for wars in which the United States has engaged since the war of 1S12 are shown in the following table:

 If France attributed good inten- 6ons to me they were also intentions of my people. One is the reflection of the other. I am the king, certainly but the most constitutional of kings. Of all the kings still standing in Esu- rope I am of the latest creation. The English family is of the seventeenth century and Belgium of 1892. sprin g from a monarchia1 revolution and my new contract with the people is younger than the republics.
