MORALE OF NAVY
 INJURED BY LOW PAY OF OFFICERS
400 designations Held Up to Keep Men Until Peace
 Is Signed.

The ban on acceptance of resigna- ttons frOlu officers in the United States Navy declared by Secretary of the Navy Daniels, who maintains that until the war emergency is declared lat an end no officer will be released. has caused dissatisfaction among the officer personnel, according to the cur rent issue of the Army and Navy Journal
 More than 400 resignations have been tendered, it is said and all are based on the fact that officers ara finding it a hardship to be restricted othe psy and allowances of the ser vice in period of imitation when their dollar is buying a vaIua of less than 40 cents. AS an indication of the dis tress some of the officers have expeSi- enced, there is the case of a senior lieutenant, who, driven almost to dis traction, finally sent his resignation to the President the latrer part of August. When called upon to explain to the Secretary of the Navy, he said:
 'As a senior lieutenant, my salary. including 10 per cent. sea pay and 10 per cent. for first five years of ser vice. is s242 month. My family consists of a widowed mother. an in- valid; widowed grandmother. HAOiAS uepenuenIS a DrOLner, partially dependent, and a wife entirely de- pendent. The expenses of living in a wardroom on board ship are: For mess, S35; laundry, s; total, $40.
 When my ship Is in port my wife joins me, and there is the expense of keeping up a second establishment at a hotel or boarding house. If I did not have her mee tme in various ports would not be able to see her except at long and uncertain inter- vals. When I am at sea my wife returns to her parents or to my rnoth- CTS home. l contribute to mothers support from $50 to $1OO a month.
 During 1918 my current expenses for keeping up both establishments on ship and my mothers ashore ex- ceeded my salary of S242 q month by s2.3A2. Of course this figure is ab- normal due to doctors fees because of illness, such as the influenza, but the deficit would have been heavy enough in any case.

.SALvACING SHIP
 CARGO VALUED AT S35,OOO,O
Divers Removing Gold Bars and Money From Hold
 of Samentic.
VAULTS AND DECKS
 FORGED BY BLASTING
Days Haul Is Shipped to London Under Heavy
 Guard.

PortsaIon, Ireland, Sept. 1-(Cor- respondence of The Associated Press) -Salvaging S35,OOO, 1000 worth of gold ingots and bullion the White Star liner Laurent;c is reported to have carried when she was sunk the night of Jan. g, 1917, off Fanad Light. one of the northernmost head lands of Ireland at the entrance to LouEh Swllly, is being conducted by the salvage ship Racer.
 The princely cargo lay at a depth of 9 fathoms. The gold and bullion were contained in the strong chamber amidships rendered almost impreg- nabIe by it's thick steel walls and heavily bOlted doors At first DOT tions of the Laurenuc's decks were blasted away and a passage was made clear for the divers. On June 20 the retrieving of the treasure began.
 The first bucket sent up contained only copper pennies and a few silver coins. Then for several days, bucket after bucket containing three or more gold bars, each worth more than S5.OOO, were hoisted to the sur face and dumped on the deck of the Racer. The first of these bars brought lusty cheers from the crew of the salvage ship, but tossing for tunes about soon came to be merely another form of manual labor to these sanormen.
 Most of the gold bars were nine inches long. two inches thick and four inches wide and weighed about 2S pounds. For days not one was found as many of them were hurled clear of the wreck by the blasting neces- sary to make the strong chamber ac- cessibIe. Several feet Of sand have now been washed over these scattered bars and meath masses of twisted steel and it frequently requires hours of patient labor to pry them loose. The record days haul so far had been 47 bars, worth approximately s35O,0O0. Thus far several million dollars worth of treasure has been saliva ged.
 The Racer carries eight divers. Their tricks are so arranged that one diver Is at work throughout the day. Each works half an hour and then must spend 30 minutes in com ing to the surface as otherwise the sudden relief from the tremendous deep-water pressure might cause par | tiaI or complete paralysis. They are brought up in ten fathom "hauls," with ten minute rest" intervals.
 When the days work is over, the days catch" if considerable, is des- patched to London with an armed convoy.
 When first built the Racer was a Sguare-rigged man-O'- '-war-One of the ''Wooden Walls of England,' as the ships of the British navy at that time were known-a century ago.

Over six car loads Cali fornia grapes, including both Mala- gas and Tokays, two cars of Colorado peaches and two cars of melons, Ca sabas and Rocky FOrds have been re- ceived by Bridgeport wholesalers during the past two days.
 The supply of native apples is all most unlimited at present and more moderate supplies of native pears grapes and muskmelons are coming into the market. The flavor of fruits are best when used in season and are usually cheapest at that time
 Time for SucCOtash.
 Although lima beans are too expen- sive to consider buying for canning purposes they may be included in the menu occasionally. They combine well with other foods. and are con sidered by many to be a necessity in making suCCotash.

PETROGRAD'S DISILL LUSIONED WORKERS
 DESERT TROTSKY AS HE LOSES HIS
 INFLUENCE AND SHOUT DOWN BOL SKEvLSTS

 who has recently escaped from

 the growing hostility to Bolshe-

 London. Sept 20-CSpeciaI Cores pondenCe) ).-Evidence of the hostility of the railwaymen in PetroErad to the Bolshevists is to be found in the proceedings at mass meeting of railwaymen held in the Uritsky Palace on July II.
 Ziuovier, Evdokinom. Peters, and other leading Communists were pres ent. Zinoviem presided. The platform was protected by a semi-circle of Red Guards. X detachment of troops was placed behind the audience, and two motor bicycles with machine guns, guarded the entrance to the Palace.
 Zinovien, in his opening speech, save a brief account of the food sit nation. and then dealt with politics. He was received with hoots and CUTS rs. and was unable to continue. Other Communists who attempted to speak mot with a similar fate. Cries were

 Eamonsky. NIcnshevist Socialist. was tho only one who succeeded in making a speech. He urged the meeting to overthrow the Soviet gov crumout and call together a Constitu- ont Assembly. He declared that if the present Government continued much louEer starvation would increase. dis organization would get more acute, and Russia would never see either peace or liberty. His speech was list cued to in intense silence, and when he sat down he was greeted with a storm of applause.
 Peters then attempted to speak. Ztuovieff ringing his bell, announced that if the noise continued he would have to take forcible measures and make use of the troops At the close of tho meeting all those who hal spoken against the Soviet Govern ment including KamensNy, were ar rested as they left the building.
 Strikes and Riots.
 The employees of the PetrOgrad tramways struck work on July II. The only cars that were running were driven by Communists. The Soviet authorities threatened the men with

 Although food companies were sent to the provinces to buy grain for professional unions, individual unions, individual factories, and various organizations, this led to little improvement. Members of these companies used to procure large sup plies for themselves, besides buying for the organizations they represent ed. These supplies which they ob- tained for themselves they succeeded in bringing through on official trains by arrangement with the railway off, fcials.
 Searches fin PetroErad during July showed that large quantities of food were stored away in private lOdg- ings. Communists whose duty it was to search private lodgings generally seized what they found for them selves. and it is known that they now have large quantities hidden in secret places.
 TrotsI1y and The Ikons.
 At a recent meeting at the Baltic works, Trotsky, in a speech, appealed to the audience to rise in defence of Red Petrograd. He spoke amid con siderable disturbance. and when the noise had somewhat subsided one of the workmen said to Trotsky:
 How can you talk of liberty while you prevent us from worshipping God? You have led the persecution against our Orthodox church. NOu have thrown our IkOns out of our schools. You prevent our children from studying the Bible. Give Us our Ikons back. What harm did they do you
 Trotsky listened patiently, and then explained why the Ikons had been removed from the schools. He said: Formerly, when Orthodox Ikons hung in the schools, they were of fcnsive to children of other religions, who asked why there were no CathO- lie Ikons, for example We have now made all equal"
 Trotsky was immediately interrupts ed by cries:
 That is false! You do 1t because you Jews have taken the Govern ment into your own hands, and you always persecute our Orthodox faith!
 The disturbance was so great that Trotsky was unable to speak further. and was forced to leave the works. accompanied by hoots and hisses

immediate dismissal, and on the fol- lowing day, yielding to force, they returned to work.
 A mass meeting of workmen at the Obukhoff Works took place on July II, when about 4,OOO men attend ed. Demands were made for the Cessa ton of civil war and the with drawal of the decrease of the Military Communists enforcing universal mili- tary training. Further demands were made for the retirement of the Soviet Government.
 The Communist Works Committee immediately informed Zinovieff. A Red Army detachment was sent to the works and the meeting was dis persed, some of the men being in jured by the butt-ends of rifles.
 The same demands were made by wOrkmen at a meeting at the SkOrOk- Eod factory. The meeting was dis persed by armed force, and three women were killed and several per sons injured. Some 5000 men em- ployed on the NikoIsevsky railway held a meeting. which was also broken up by Red troops Eight workmen were killed and II wound cd.
 Appalling Food Conditions.
 With regard to the food conditions, during July the population of Pet rograd received the following bread rations:-The first two categories. S-S ID. for two days; third category I-S ID. for two days. The issue of all food on cards ceased, and it was an uounced that a dinner. consisting Of enc dish, would be issued to the whole population. irrespective of cate eory. and that the dinner would be eaten at home, and not at the com munal dining rooms.
 The dinner consisted generally of soup, and some times a piece of min ccd patty made of the remains of herrings and potato parinEs. The soup was so bad that on several oc- casiOns worknen at the Baltic works refused to take it. and poured it on the floor to mark their disgust. The soup at the Baltic works often con- sisted of sorreI and common grass, boiled in water.
 The ra1ions for the Red Army have also been revised. nothing but a plato of soup. and a pound of bread being served out. At the same time, at the Hotel Astoria, where the Chief Com missaries live, there was an abund- ancc of everything. meat and eggs being served regularly at meals.
 At the end of July the pricee of the chief food-stuffs were:
