Leon Trotzky, the BOlsheWst minis ter of war and marine, has issued an order that families of officers who desert to the Allies are to be held responsible and will be prosecuted in some cases. Military experts who have been forced to serve the Bol- shevists include some of the best men in field tactics, engineering and ord nance to be found in Central Russia.
 General mobilization of soldiers in all districts is being vigorously car ried out and all attempts to avoid service are being severely dealt with. The training of the BOIshevist army is being assisted by special schools of instruction at Petrograd and Mos COW for all non-commissioned officers and men belonging to the Bolshevist party. Generally, the army is grow ing stronger and, although the new troops are far from being reliable, they, nevertheless owing to the se were methods which have been adopt ed, form the main strength of Bol- shevist power.
 The majority of the people are anti Bolshevist but are afraid to express their opinions. The entire strength of the Bolshevists, it is averred, rests on their institution of Red Terror.

IMPOSE LIMIT
 ON APARTMENTS

Paris, Monday, Feb. 3. - Leon Bourgeois, the French proponent of League of Nations, transmitted today to the Society of Nations commission recommendations as to principles which had been submitted to him by the Inter-Allied. association for the promotion of a League of Nations.
 One of the recommendations urged the establishment by the Society of Nations of an international commis- sion on education. Other reCom- mendations were of a military nature. One of these would bind the assoCi- ated states to prohibit the sale of arms and munitions now possessed or which may be ultimately manUfaC- tured to states outside the league, while another would prohibit the trade and manufacture of all arms and munitions of war by private es- tablishments, It was also reCOm- mended that the Society of Nations shall fix the number of men to be enrolled In the military and naval forces of each member, having re- gard only possible aggressions from states outside the league, or in revolt against 1t, It adds that the associ- ated states should impose upon the Central Powers by peace treaty, limi- tation of armaments and the control of their manufacture so as to permit members of the Society of Nations to reduce immediately and substantially their military establishments.

SERG. SANTINI DROVE PERSHING'S
 LOCOMOBILE
Head Chauffeur for General While He Was In
 France.

The following letter will be of great interest to Bridgeporters:
 and believe me, when I get back to my downy couch in little old New York I'm going to bury my head in a pillow for one solid year. Driving a car in America and driving a car over hers are two different stories; butd irving for Americas greatest soldier is Q story in a class of its own.'' That's how one letter ended and, from the way it reads. Sergeant Cesar Santini, an old Reg uIar Army man, means what he says.
 "As you know, I have been Head Chauffeur for General Pershing ever since he landed in France and will prove it when I see you. There has heen quite some advertisement in the papers about who was driving the great man and now the game is over, l can talk and leave it to you to ad- vertise the truth if you see fit"
 Sergeant Cesar Santini head chauffeur for General Pershing, has driven the famous leader in his pow erful Locomo6 6sle throughout the war zone for more than year. Speed laws were disregarded whenever the great General went through towns and cities. When a certain point had to be reached it was sometimes ne- cessary to cover the q stance at ter rife speed; travelling through a met ropolis at the same high rate of speed you would drive in the country The wind pressure in the narrow French streets was intense and more than one windshield was broken by 1t Later a new design of two angu- lar sections was adopted and the breakage ceased.
 Continuous service rendered under unusual conditions speaks volumes for the. car and it has been said that when one of the Locomobiles was laid up for tire trouble or some such
 minor trouble, the General using the ! car would pace impatiently up and down the garage waiting for 1t to be repaired rather than use another car at his disposal.
 Sergeant Santini has no idea when he will be home, but. like the rest of the boys from the States, he Is yearn- ing for a look at the Statue of Lib rty and the Brooklyn Bridge again.

KEEP URIC ACID
 OUT OF JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Eat Less Meats and
 Take Salts.

Rheumatism Is easier to avoid than to cure, states a well-knoWn author ity. We are advised to dress warm ly; keep the feet dry; avoid expos ure; eat less meat, but drink plenty of good water.
 Rheumatism is direct result of eating too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acid which is absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acide from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are clos ed thus forcing the kidneys to do dou- ble work, they become weak and slug glish and fail to eliminate the uric acid which keeps accommodating and circulating through the system, even- tually settling in the joints and mus cles causing stiffness. soreness and pain called rheumatism
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put a tablespoon ful in a glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for a week This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the ,-idneys tp normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject 10 rheumatism Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithia-water drink which helps overcome uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as well.-Adv.

Alderman Cornell doubted the viva voce vote and a standing vote was called for. This showed all RepubIi- cans in favor of adopting the meas ure and the five Democratic alder men, namely Ford, Cornell, Hogan, Drew and Freeman, opposing its adoption. The report recommended that the entire bonded indebtedness Of the city should not exceed five per cent. of the grand list. The resolu- tion was signed by John T. King, D. H. Warner, Charles s. Garfield, Walter B. Lasher, Guy P, Miller, Thomas Watson, Frank Miller and State Senator George B. Clark, who had written next to his name believe in principle of referendum"
 A resolution by Alderman Cornell that a referendum amendment be attached to the measure was defeat ed on strictly party lines. Democratic aldermen will now make every effort to have a referendum clause attached tC the measure after its introduction into the legislature and through the finance committee of that body where it must go before final action is taken.
 The items on the report submitted by the Finance Advisory committed were as follows:
 New Police building, $75, 900 Health Department, SITS, ,OOO; Board of Charities, $25,OOO; municipal gar, age, $15O,OO0; street paving, $1,O0O,. OO0; Grand street bridge, S2OO, 900 short term notes. $5OO.OOO; shor term bonds, $2OO,0oO, and S1,25O, ,OO( for refunding bonds.

Russian Soviet Wants
 Agreement With Entente
Ccontinued from Page one.)

ArchangeI, Monday, Feb. 3-(By the Associated Press)-Advices to the Allied intelligence department reveal some of the methods used by the Bolshevists to organize their army for a strong campaign in North ern Russia The generals and staff officers in the old Russian army are compelled to serve the Bolshevists, who hold the officers families as hostage. Cases have occurred of of ficers' families being placed under close arrest, the women being treated as badly as the men
 The position of former Russian of fieers in the ranks of the Soviet army is extremely difficult They occupy posts as commanding offic- CTS and are trusted in all technical matters, but in regard to everything else are under constant suspicion and are controlled by Bolshevist commis- sioners, who are permanently attach ed to the army and even control the carrying out of operations.

Iyf;;ONAN SUFFRAGE PARTY SCORES
 LATE VICTORY IN NEBRASKA

county officials. They cannot vote for U. s. senators and representatives; nor vet for the governor, senators or re- presentatives of their state. But through possession of the presidential vote and the local vote, they become important political factors to the Re publican and Democratic party or
 ganizations of their state.
 A bill for full suffrage for women was introduced in the territorial leg islature in 1S56-the earliest instance of the introduction of such a measure in the United States, or indeed, be- Iieve, anywhere in the world. It did not get much encouragement, but it was brought to a vote and three men cut of nineteen voted in it's favor. A suffrage amendment to the State Con stitution was submitted to the male voters in 1880 but failed to pass, There was a second attempt in 1914,
 and again the men of Nebraska re- fused enfranchisement to their wo- men. It took therefore a struggle of sixty-tWo years from the first attempt
 before the women won even the par
 tial degree of suffrage that they en-
 joy under the law of 1917. Can it
 be a matter of surprise that women
 get a little weary of tine struggle { when 1t takes sixty-two years to per ! suade the men of a single state to give even half a loaf to the women, although these same men would be furiously indignant if any attempt | were made to deprive them of the 41,0 !, joy.
 There is still another objection to such suffrage measure as that now in force in Nebraska, besides the fact ! that it gives only partial suffrage. The right that the women enjoy they hold at the pleasure of the men. They | themselves have no share in electing g l the legislature which has the power
 to repeal the law that the legislature passed. Partial suffrage is never se- cure. No right is secure unless the l holder of the right has the political l power necessary to secure that right. Partial suffrage gives the women no power over either the state legis- lature or over Congress. The vote | they exercise is held on sufferance by ! men, and if they use it in way to i displease any powerful interest they are liable to have the strongest pos sible efforts made by such interests 1 to deprive them of 1t.
 Nevertheless, as a rule, when suf-
 frage has been granted to women
 and the women have the chance tc 1 show themselves competent to exer-
 cisa if +bey make good and little ef-
 fort is made to deprive them of the l right. It is better to have the Presi-
 dential and municipal vote like the
 women of Nebraska than to have
 only the very tiny crumb of suffrage
 that is conceded to the women of Con-
 necticut

Mayor Wilson as usual acted as if he was extremely bored when Alder man Cornell rose to question the is suing of short term notes and bonds totalHng S7O0, ,O00. The Democratic al- derman very rightfUlly inquired as to what was the purpose of issuing them. The mayor with an air of leisure told Alderman Cornell the city had two or three epidemics and it was in view of this, that the committee thought 1t wise to ask for bonds in case another emergency should come up. Alder man Cornell insisted that the people should be consulted before & bond is- sue of this kind is thrust upon them and when Alderman Blakeslee, trying to initiate the famous line of sar- casn so necessary to the mayor, said that the referendum the Democrats so heartily advocate came around every I two years and that for many years past the administration has gone be- fore the people and each time has been elected with a majority, Alder man Cornell politely informed him that this had nothing to do with the people voicing their opinions on bond issues.
 Alderman William H. Hogan ques- toned an item of S175,OOO for the health department and the mayor in answer said that was for equipment of 0 new isolation hospital and the collection of garbage and ashes. Al derman Hogan also questioned the item of S1 ,O0O0 600 for street improve ments and asked if this was for war renting. The mayors answer was an
 e asion for he said that the money
 would be spent under the supervision
 of the common council.

ADJUSTMENTS WANTED IN
 MOTOR TRANSPORT CORPS

Perhaps the one branch of service iu the United States army that the lsyman knows very little about is the motor transport corps. which is now enlisting recruits. In France this service is called the "M. T. C." and to it belongs much of the credit of the success of the American army.
 The Motor Transport Corps, how ever, is not confined to work on the other side, and every day there arc hundreds of its members about the big cities, for the big army motor trucks and passenger automobiles which hur- " through the streets on. military business, are all a part of the "M. T. C." and the drivers are members of this corps.
 The enlistment period is either for one year or three years for ex-soldiers and three years for civilians. The pay ranges from sS0 to s105 monthly with all expenses paid. The nearest recruiting stations are at S5 State street, New London and 450 Asylum street, Hartford.

DR. JAMES M. MURPHY
 PROMOTED TO cAPTAINcY

Announcement has just been made that Dr. James M Murphy, son of MT. and Mrs. Charles O. Murphy of 220 Central avenue, has been promot- ed to captaincy. This will be grat- flying news to his many friends in Norwich, although the promotion was not entirely unexpected, as he had been recommended for a captains commission some time ago, but the appointment was delayed because Of his youth.
 Capt. Murphy is a native of Nor wich. a graduate of the Norwich Free Acadey and of Tufts Medical school Boston. Immediately following the entrance of the United States into the war, he enlisted at Boston, and en- tered the service as a lieutenant. Dr. Murphy trained at Camp Greenleaf, Ga., and was sent overseas in the fall of 1917. His assignments in cluded a number of hospital camps in France and he was in charge of sev- eral. At the present time he is in charge of hospital camp in Talmont, France, one of the but equipped hos pitals established by the American Expeditionary Forces.
 Like all other American soldiers abroad, Capt. Murphy would like to return home. now that the fighting is over, but indications are that his camp will be one of the last to be aban- doned by the American forces.
