MAIL
SCHEDULED FOR EUREKA
And According to Present Ar
rangement It May Be Only
Once-a-Week

As announced in last weeks SEN
TINEL. the mail service by stage from
Palisade to Eureka was discontinued
by the Postal Department after the
arrival of the mail Saturday. This
does not greatly affect the people at
this end of the line as for some time
the stage has been carrying but a
small part of the regular mail from
the main line, but it works hard
ship on the people of Mineral Hill
and those living on the route in Dia-
mond Valley. Until post office can
be established in Diamond Valley it
will compel all these people to come
or send to Eureka for their mail. The
SENTINEL learns they are already
moving in the matter and have ar
ranged to petition the Postal Depart
ment for the establishment of an Of
flee and service at the Eccles ranch.
The news that the people of Eure-
ka and those in the territory served
from this office we're about to have
their mail service cut from three
times to a twice-a-week service
temporarily at least, for hardly any
one believes the present service will
be cut permanently - was not re-
ceived graciously; but in the mean
time, or until the curtailed mail SER
vice has been put into effect, many
believe in awaiting developments be-
fore taking the matter up with our
representatives at Washington.
In view of it's defeat only last July
when it stopped carrying the mail by
stage and endeavored to compel the
railway company to carry the mail,
it is thought that the Postal Depart
ment is not taking the present step
of cancelling it's contract with the
stage company, and planning to have
the railway perform the service, un-
less it felt pretty certain of being
able in some manner to carry out its
plans, and before shedding our outer
garments in the present rather cool
atmosphere and starting something
ourselves. are willing to let the Pos
tai Department and the railway COM
pany shed the first blood.
Postal Department Confirms Schedule
Laura Hoegh, postmaster at Eu-
reka, received a communication by
Wednesdays mail from the Chief
Clerk of the Railway Mail Service,
informing the Eureka office that ef-
fective January 18it is contemplated
that the mail will reach Eureka twice
week-on Wednesdays and Fridays.
The communication further states
that Fridays train from Palisade.
and Saturdays train from Eureka,
will only operate if there are enough
passengers and freight to justify the
operation of a train
On the face of it. the above state
ment from head in the mail service
does not look as if there would be
much of conflict, but from the fact
that the Postal Department and our
local railway company have been
scrapping over the carrying of this
mail between Palisade and Eureka
for nearly forty years, the present
acceptance for any extended period
of a service as outlined above seems
hardly probable.

The farmers in all the surrounding
valleys are experiencing much troub-
lie in procuring water for their stock
from the streams. The intense and
continued cold of the past several
weeks has frozen the water in the
creeks in many instances to solid
masses of ice, shutting off the water
supply entirely at the customary
watering places. This frozen state
is rapidly approaching the water
sources and unless a break occurs
very soon the stockmen will be COM
PEELED to dig wells and pump water
to save their stock.-Wells Herald.

 'In case the War Bureau should be dissolved undoubtedly some public CT quasi agency will be denominated to take up and carry on the work of it's Americanization Committee, and we should turn over to this agency all of our files and papers and give it such knowledge and experience as we had gained and it should as our successor have available the balance of any sum appropriated for our uses.
 "Our committee will be very glad to have its representatives appear
 before your board in behalf of the said appropriation of $25,O00 for right schools, and of $750O for the uses of the Americanization Commit tee.
 We submitted our proposed re- quests for these appropriations to the executive committee of the 1 Bridgeport War Bureau and that 1 committee cordially and unanimously 1 approved of them as appears from i their vote attached.

GERMAN VOTERS
 MUST REGISTER

Berlin, Jan. Correspondence of the Associated Press) Forty mill lion voters, men and women, must be registered for the election of a na- tional assembly in Germany on Jan uary 1s. 1t Is estimated by Professor Hugo Preuss, Minister of the Inter for. In the last Reichstag election the voters. all male, numbered only i 14,000,000 he says. They were scat tered over 397 election districts. The new election bill provides for only 83 such districts for the whole coun- fry which, Professor Preuss adds means more than a million voters in each district.
 Professor Preuss Is one of the few i prominent leaders of the progressive | Bourgeoisis who was given an impor- tant post in the provisional govern ment In an interview with a core spondent of the Associated Press he pointed out the technical difficulties ir the way of organizing 100000 vo- ters in time for the election ant added:
 The new suffrage franchise which will be tried out at the coming cleo ton is based on direct equal, SC cret ballot for all males and females of 20 years and over.
 One of the principal details o the radical reconstruction of ou voting system is the original com pilation of a list of the qualified wom en voters"

GERMAN AGENTS
 ARE ON TRIAL
Sacramento Neutrality Gas es Before Court Today
 Conspiracy is Charged,

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. Trial of the so-called Sacramento neutral ity cases which began here today, in vo1ved two officials of the Imperial German consulate-general in San Francisco, a dozen other individuals and three corporations under indict- ments returned in 1916. and 1917.
 A blanket indictment returned July ', 1917, charged conspiracy to violate the neutrality of the United States in 1914 and 1915 through an attempt to make San Francisco a base of supply for a German fleet then operating in the South Pacific ocean, and conspiracy to obtain false clear ance for various ships needed to carry out the plan. The case Centered about the steamship Sacramento, which was alleged to have delivered a. general cargo to the German fleet after 1t was "captured' off the coasc of Chile; the steamship Mazatlan, which was alleged to have delivered coal to the GerIndn cruiser Leipzig at Guaymas, Mexico; the steamship l Olson and Mahoney, which was de- { nied clearance papers here. and the steamships Maverick and Annie Lar sen which were alleged to have been used in an attempt 10 send arms and munitions to revoIutionists in India.
 The principal defendants are: Baron Eckhard H. Von schack. Francisco.
 Henry Kauffmann. former chan { cellor of the Imperial German con | sulate general here.
 ! Hans Tauscher, husband of Johan- ma Gadski the singer. as agent for ! the purchase of the Annie Larsen : cargo.
 Franz von Papen, formerly naval attache of the Imperial German con sulate-general at New York.
 Von Schack and Kauffmann were convicted here of conspiracy to over i throw British rule in India. Tausch- CT and Won Paper, Ire said to be ir Germany.
 The Sacramento. then T German merchant ship Known as the Alexan. tlria. was informed at this port wher the war began in 19l 1. She was talk, en over and renamed the Sacramen to by the Northern and Southern Steamship company, which, 1t was al legged, was organized for that purpos' A cargo, including beer, sauerkrau and other food stuffs and ship sup plies, was purchased and the vesse was cleared from this port for Val paraiso.

knowledge, and some mutual well fare.
 All over the country has come urify and nationalize our people is country wide.
 When we found so large a propor- ton of the drafted men unable to understand the orders given them we were conscious that we should have Leen about this work 20 years be- fore. Our own state through the State Council of Defense has organ ized an Americanization Department and it's activity may be gauged when we know that it has organized an AmericanizatiOn Committee in some 70 War Bureaus in the state and these committees are engaged in car | ryirg on this work already in these | communities.
 1 Hartford appropriated last year | $22,000 for the night schools and 1 S7,7OO for the uses of the American ization Committee. She is to make more generous appropriations for | these purposes the next year.
 New Britain and Manchester have made reasonable appropriations for the uses of their Americanization 1 Committees. New Haven is taking the matter up. and it is expected that the | industrial centers will all be actively pursuing Americanization work with the aid of public funds before many mCnths have passed.
 It is conceded by all that our problem in Bridgeport is much larger and more difficult than in any place in Connecticut.
 Our committee are deeply inter ested in this work but they know that 1t is too great a work to be carried on by volunteer help.
 We need a permanent office. The work must be systematically followed up day by day. To do this will re- quire a secretary who is specially fitted for doing this kind of public work, he should have fair education and real experience. preferably he should possess an understanding ot the foreign born, and have so much Character that they would instinct lively trust him.
 With these qualities must go mi. tiative and resource and complete sympathy with the work. Such man will command a good salary, bu even so, he will serve not for the pay but for the service he can render.
 We shall require a typewriter ant stenographer and we should havc sufficient sum for adequate publicit! and educational work Stationer1 and postage will take quite sun and we should have an allowance fo inci6entals, for this work Is new ant none of us can define its limits Oul best estimate Is that the Americana zation Committee should have a least $7,500 for it's uses for this work And we request that you mak such an appropriation and we sug !, gest that you make the appropria ton for the uses of the Amaricani zetton Committee, for Americaniza ton work in Bridgeport, or for it

Cincinnati man discovers drug that lOOsenS cOrnS so they
 lift out.

Local druggists are having a tre- lnen6ous call for freezone, the drug which is said to shrivel a corn, root and all, without any pain.
 A few drops applied directly upon a tender, aching corn relieves the soreness at once, and shortly the en- tire corn, root and all, lifts right out with the fingers.
 This new drug is being dispensed at small cost in quarter ounce bottles which is sufficient to take off every hard or soft corn from ones feet It is a sticky substance which dries al once, and does not inf1ame or even trritate, the surrounding tissue ol skin. There is no excuse for anyone inviting death by infection or loc:1 jaw from cutting their corns now Adv

Our reasons for mak- ing this request of them were stated in our petition addressed to their president; we attach a copy of this hereto and earnestly invite your at tention to its contents. We there point out that the knowledge of the English language is vitally necessary for our industries from an economic point of view, and even more impor- tant, as affecting our national unity, and promoting a uniform ideal of citizenship and securing industrial

THE TIMES: JANUARY T, 1919

There had been many protests against allowing this company to install tank at 1871 Fairfield avenue, but the Fire Department committee said that they should have one-and so it was.
 Alderman Connor's explanation in reply to Alderman Lyons demand was
 that 'the company surely had legal
 right to install tank on its own
 property, and that the petition be 1 granted inasmuch as the Fire Depart | ment committee had o. h.'d it.
