ROYAL JEWELS
 MISSING AFTER ATTEMPTED SALE

Paris, Nov. Spy The Associated Press). - That crown jewels, the property of the House of Hapsburg, were offered for sale before the war was revealed today by the appearance of a diamond broker before Judge Cluzel. It appears that the then reigning house of Austria had decided to part with a superb diamond neck lace, the gift of Napoleon to Marie Louise at the birth of the King of Rome.
 to negotiate the sale She had in- structions to operate with extreme caution, signing no bill of sale, giving no receipts. She appealed to a we'll known diamond firm of Southern France, depositing the jewels with them for safe keeping. The broker served in the war and now has re- turned. The society woman however, claims that she received no account ing of the transaction. Since the arnlistice she says she has repeatedly called upon the broker to produce the necklace or the proceeds of the sale. This, she told Judge Cluzel to- day he has failed to do.
 The broker says he is holding the necklace as security for expenses amounting to 30,000 francs which he has incurred in his attempts to Ie- Sotiate the sale.

New York, Nov. 3-Members of Typogra phical Union No. yesterday by unanimous vote refused to submit their demands for increased wages and fOrty-fOur-hOur week to arbitra- tion. They voted to resubnlit the de- rands to the unions scale commit tee, indicating that even higher pay will be asked.

 For the first time since the present difficulties arose four officers of the

GERMANS GRIEvE
 FOR THEIR LOST
 MERCHANT FLEET

Hamburg, Nov. 3.-(By The Asso- ciated Press).-A very pessimistiG view of the future of German sea Director General Of the North Ger man Lloyd, in the new year book of the line.
 Out of the destruction of the whole German economic situation aa it is determined by the peace docu~ ment, the destruction of Germany's s shipping follows as a matter of course" he writes. As two of the chief losses sustained by German shipping, he cites the reduction of German territory and "the trans fer of German railroads to foreign in- terests'' so that, he says. the Rhine shipping in part, the Nistula ship ping entirely, comes under foreign control.
 Loss of industries such as the po- tash works in Alsace, the textile fac tories and iron mines in Lorraine and LuXemburg, he declares, will be heavily felt by German shipping be- cause these industries will direct their imports and exports via Antwerp or French harbors, and will be taken care of by Belgian or French firms, which makes it out of the question to use German ships. Herr He1nektn adds:
 Then there must be figured the huge material sacrifices that Germany has had burdened upon her by giv- ing up all her overseas possessions and rights, by the provisions of the entente by which she must make repara tions, by the foreign prize court verdicts, and finally by the clause that all German property abroad need be reckoned at the peace rate.
 "Germany has been robbed of ali it's overseas, facilities and shipping quarters abroad. When all privileges, advantages and concessions which Germany had in China, have been annulled, when the German rights in Siam, Liberia, Morocco and Egypt have been declared void, when Ger man property is liquidated in these countries, when finally the urgently necessary foreign news service is crippled by taking away the German cable, it is the German shipping th2 is the chief sufferer"

MEXICAN WOMEN OBTAIN JOBS AS
 MOVIE CENSORS
Films Will Be Used To Show Real Conditions
 In Mexico.

Mexico City, Nov. 1.-(By the Asso- ciated Pres) Two young Mexican women have been placed in control of the censorship of development of motion picture films in Mexico. They are Miss Adriana s. Ehlers, who will act as chief censor and Miss Dolores L. Ehlers, who will have charge Of the work of producing Mexican films to be distributed in the United States, Europe and Latin-American coun- tries
 The purpose of this widespread dis tribution of the Mexican films is an nounced to be to clear away many of the misunderstanding that are said to exist regarding Mexico.
 In addition the two young women are to have charge of the making of educational films to be exhibited free of cost to natives of Mexico to teach Mexicans modern methods of living. The two young women will act under the direction of the Department of the Interior
 Films showing the life and indus tries of Mexico are being prepared under the direction of Miss Dolores L. Ehlers who has a staff taking pie lures in different parts of the repub- lie. These are to be distributed by cooperation of the United States Bu- reau of Commercial Economics in virtually every country in the western hemisphere. Censorship is to be rigor- ous- All undesirable films such as gruesome murders and immoral pic lures now widely shown and patro%+ ized by the poorer people are to be barred from the public by Miss Ad- riana s. Ehlers. The smuggling Of films across the American border is to be stopped. As eight-five per cent; of the population of Mexico is illiterate; films have been adopted as the only means of educating people who can not read or write.
 The Misses Ehlers were selected by President Carranza through means of a motion picture scholarship and sent three years ago to the United States to study the possibilities of motion picture business from a national standpoint. They first took a course in the mechanics of motion picture work at Boston, later studied the work of large film companies in New York and subsequently were permit ted to work in the photographic sec ton of the War Department, at Washington. It is announced that beginning November 1 they will have complete charge of the entire film industry in Mexico.

Washington, Nov. 1-Recommend- ing that shipping board vessels under 5000 tons deadweight be sold both to American and foreign bidders; that vessels over 5000 tons be restricted to American registry for a period of years to protect American ship own ing interests and that the govern ment absorb the difference between the cost and the sale price of the 200O ships owned by the shipping board, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States today submitted to it's 1,236 member organizations the report of it's committee on ocean transportation.

SALOONS TO GET CHANGE ON L|FE;
 ND HARD STUFF

New York, Nov. 3-The corner saloon is to have a future after all. The ITO Let" sign is to come down and a welcome" is to shine forth in its place Once more the glasses will clink and the cup that cheers will be proffered.
 ''The poor mans club" is to be re- instated, only this time the drinks will be soft, the prices will be even softer and there will be no doleful after-effects. Such is the assurance given the leaders of the Nationwide Campaign of the Episcopal Church by the churchwomen's League Of Pa- triotic Service just organized byz wo- men of that church
 The new saloon, or canteen, which the ChurchWomen's League for Pa triotic Service is planning to intro- duce in New York, will be a combina- tion canteen and club for men. who want to eat, drink, play games read or rest during the day or night Service will be absolutely free, and soft drinks and food will be served at cost. Pool tables, card tables. games and reading material will be supplied. The attendants will be volunteer wo- men workers of the Churchwoman's League. Vacated saloons will be used for these canteens.
 It is hoped by the League that eventually the twentieth centruy sal- oon will develop into community center with interests for every mem Der of a mans family as we'll as for himself. At first, however, the scope will not be broad.

My brother Bill is acting strange, so
 very strange of late, To wash his hands and comb his hair
 no more he seems to hate; When folks are speaking to him, he
 does not seem to hear; His eyes look sort O vacant, he cer-
 tainly acts queer. He'd never black his shoes before un-
 til my Pa would say: Young fellow, you will get the strap
 if there is more delay" But now they're always shiny so at I
 can see my face; No more I hear Ma tell him, Your
 hair is a disgrace"' He puts his coats on hangers, his
 trousers now are pressed; He never used to bother just so that
 he was dressed; I found him writing verses on "brok-
 en hearts, and then One day to stir his coffee he used his
 fountain pen. Our Billy must be crazy or going
 soon to be; He's put salt on his ice cream and
 mustard in his teal Grandma says it's hard study, Ma
 fears that he is i'll, Pa laughs, and says it is a first attack
 of Hove" that ails our Bill. Maud F. Jackson in Philadelphia Bulletin.

WILL BE ABLE
 TO GIVE POWER
 IN TWO WEEKS
Connecticut Light & Power Go. to Employ 800 Work
 men Day and Night.

Confronted with a threatened coal famine growing out of the miners strike, officials of the Connecticut Light X Power Company, furnishing electricity to more than 26,00O cus- toners in Connecticut, yesterday dis closed a plan to rush their gigantic new dam at Stevenson to completion within two weeks, barring interfer ence and continue production of elec- triclty by water power from the Hou- satOnic River. A force of 800 work men and engineers will work night and day in an effort to prevent a cur tailment of electric service that might force big Connecticut industries to close down for lack of power. Power ful searchIights are already installed at the plant under construction to facilitate uninterrupted work at &:-Rt.
 Nearly 10000 tons of coal month will be released for other purposes imm ediately upon the starting of the water wheels at Stevenson that are capable of producing 10000 horse- power, and coal costing $1,000,000 a year under existing prices will be quickly diverted to other industries.
 When interviewed yesterday at his home in North Canaan, Vice-Presi- dent J. Henry Roraback of the Con necticut Light & Power Company said the cOmpany's plant in Waterbury, where electricity is generated by steam, had only a six weeks supply of coal on hand and the fact that the government was seiziug coal ship ments for the use of railroads made it imperative that the greatest haste be made. With rainfall as plentiful in the past few weeks. he felt that the 1,5OO-aCre basin behind the great dam, with it's capacity of 1,50O,00O,O00 cubic feet of water, would be filled in less than q week, providing the her culean pressure required to move four generators of 10000 horsepower @-.=.tS, they will be stepped up to 1000 volts. HiGh-tensiOn wires have al ready been erected to Waterbury, from which point power will be dis tributed over an immense area in the state, including Waterbury, Nauga- tuck. Beacon Falls, New Britain, Sey- mOur, SOuthingtCn. Cheshire, Bran ford. Norwalk, Greenwich and smaller slaces Big factories are supplied ~-ith power in practically all of these places, where tens Of thousands are employed.
 Mir. EOraback was unable to say $SSterday if any coal consigned to the WatS~Nury plant of the company had been taken by the railroad admins traitor while in transit, as has been the case with shipments consigned to several other Connecticut companies

LONDONERS ARE
 AGAIN LEARNING TO SAY "THANKS''

London, Nov. 3.-(By The Asso- ciated Press) .-Politeness is returuing g to London. Shopkeepers are learn ing again to be civil. This applies even to grocers who, since the intro auction of rationing, have been the greatest tyrants, barring taXicab drivers, that the war produced.
 The cynical-minded account for the grocer's unaccustomed civility on the ground that his customers will be given the privilege of taking their ration books to some other store, but there can be no doubt of the new spirit in the air.
 "We say Thank you now" an- nounces a sign in a cigar store which ilized soldiers. These soldiers have brought good manners back from the front.
 No reports have been received of any thank yous'' from taxicap drivers, for the cabs are still scarce. but it's not uncommon nowadays to hear bus conductor express thanks for the penny when he punches the ticket.
 The butcher also is falling into line. He no longer expects to be bribed for attentiveness and he has abandoned the wartime practice of throwing a chop at a customer and expecting him to find the paper in which to wrap it up.
