GERMAN AWARDS
 FOR BRAVERY

Vienna, Feb. - Correspondence of the Associated Press)-Of how lit tie importance and significance were some of the orders and decorations bestowed upon provinces and nobles during the war is indicated by a little story now going the rounds in, Vienna. It concerns AIbrecht, the son of Archduke Friedrich.
 He was assigned to the front with TyroI Kaiser regiment, but with in structions to the colonel and com mander that he must never be en- dangered. In 1917 the regiment had strenuous battle with the Italians at Schluderbach and suffered heavy losses.
 When the authorities looked over the list of recommendation for dec orations after the battle it was mo- ticed that he had been three kilome- ters behind the line during the fight ing. The colonel declared he could not cite him as one of his bravest, since it would make ill-feeling among the soldiers and was not justified.
 An order then was issued com manding the colonel to recommend Albrecht for the golden medal for bravery, and when the officer refused he was relieved from his command.

Bernhard of Weimar, a hero of the Thirty Years War. The altar piece is a triptych,' one writer says, "the center piece representing the cruel fiXion; beside the cross stands Martin Luther, an open Bible in his hand, while the blood from the pierced side of the Saviour pours upon his head"
 Another ancient church is the Ja- cobs or Hofkircher, or court church, whose disused cemetery contains the graves of Lucas Cranach, the artist. and Johann Musaeus, anthor of Ger man folk lore. Another burial ground contains the grand duca1 family vault, in which Goethe and Schiller also lie, side by side. Bronze statues of both poets, the work of Rietschel, and grouped on one pedestal stand in front of the site of a theatre buil+ in 1895 under the direction of Goethe, a time memorable as the golden age of German drama" Here many of Wasner's compositions were first given to the world. In 1907 the old structure was replaced by a new building.
 The genius of Goethe and Schiller characterize Weimar in other forms of civic beauty. Goethe, some years before his death, laid out a large pub lie park in the form of a garden and without an enclosure of any kind.
 There a quaint relic of its originator remains in the stone altar round which a serpent climbs to eat the VOL tive bread. Upon the altar is an in- scription to the genius, hujus loci.'' Statues of Wie!and, who came to i Weimar as the tutor of Grand Duke 1 Charles Augustus in 1772, the com | poser HummeI and Franz Liszt are among the other public embeliish- nients of the city. The Grunes ! Schloss, built in the 18th century, and
 containing 100000 volumes, is an in | teresting library and contains also a
 valuable collection of portraits, busts i and literary and other curiosities Other public buildings are the Wit 1 tumspalais, the old ducal dover
 house containing Preuer's famous l mural paintings of the Odyssey; the

ALL SERVICE MEN
 SHOULD ENROLL
1,285 Have Appeared Before the Board Up Until Noon
 Today.

Registration records at city hall, where returning soldiers, sailors and marines are enrolling preparatory to the big celebration during the week Jf April 6, show that l,285 men had appeared before the Welcome Home'' committee up until noon today.
 It is estimated that at the present time close to 5000 men have been discharged from the service and re- turned to Bridgeport, and those in charge of the work are making every effort to register every man who has seen service either at home or abroad
 Members of the committee have pointed out that it is not only the duty of ev ry uniformed man to reg ister but it is also to his own advant- 1 age, as plans are being laid to give Bridgeport's heroes one of the fnest celebrations ever witnessed in this | ;ity. In addition to this the board 1 is doing all within its limited powers to obtain employment for the men enrolling, and while highly pleased with the success in registering ap- i proximately half of the number o1 men believed to have returned to this city, are urging all to come before tht board on their arrival here.
 Many of tte men are appearing without their discharge or release pa pers, and are told that they canno enroll until they present these. Int board asks that every man who ap pears for enrolment have either hit discharge or release papers with him as it will save much time and greatl, aid the clerks in bringing their tota

HAVE COMPLETED
 CAPITAL CHANCE
Seat of Hun Government Temporarily Located At
 Weimar.

Weimar, Monday, Feb. 3-CBy The Associated Press)-The process of temporarily transferring the German seat of government from Berlin to Weimar, where the National Assem- ply is to meet Thursday, is expected to be vituaIly completed tomorrow when Count Brockdorff-Rantzau, the foreign secretary, will reach here. The five members of the cabinet and the executive official under Chancellor Ebert arrived today and established quarters in the palace,
 The physical difficulties accom- panying the task of the temporary transfer of the government here com prise chiefly an apparent shortage of manual laborers willing to haul and carry baggage. The city has fur nished an over-supply of candidates for posts of honor but the members of the government have had to search diligently for men willing to transfer the official baggage from the station to the palace.
 However, the cabinet, minus it's of icial records and other documents, managed to hold an executive ses- sion in the palace late today.
 The present government considers that it's mandate expired with the converting of the constituent assem- bly, and it's first task will be to move the immediate appointment of a new coalition government. in the organ ization of which party interests will 1 be eliminated.
 The Majority Socialists will hold i their first party caucus Tuesday morn ing. The German Democratic fae ton vii! hold its party meeting at Er- f1rt. naay harA

SALE OF
 FURS IN ST. LOUIS

Comment on the worlds greatest fur sale which totalIed $9, 548, 900 in nine days open auction is still rife in fur circles generally in St, Louis, the con ceded fur capital and fur center of the world.
 The fact that in spite of falling markets in all other depart ments of staple merchandise, the fur market not only held it's own, but. maintained a stable balance of prices throughout, is considered an achieve ment, the . best and most telling re- suits of which will not declare them selves until the next retail fur season.
 In the face of an almost over whelming large market of over 8,00O,- coo pelts---such a volume of furs had never before been offered in one sin gle sale under one roof---with the manufacturing trade facing @ strike which, no matter what way the cat jumped meant that the cost of labor and manufacture would be increased manifold, and with the purchasing power of todays dollar being only about half what it was before the , world war in every department of
 
 warm weather making the profits of the retail furrier melt away before 8 mounting therncometer---Wh meant that the retailers purchases from the manufacturer next season will be nec- essarily limited and circumscribed by the short selling of this season---in the face of extreme discourag cement on every hand, the St. Louis mid winter fur auction showed that the fur trade is one single unit in up- holding the trade standing, the pres ! tige and importance of one of the oldest, most nationally profitable, and really representative businesses of this country.
 | The North American Continent is the richest fur producing territory in the world, the largest and most varied in the number of furs produced. both as to price and commercial impor- i tance-it has steadily and swiftly I won the confidence of the fur trade 1 of the entire world over F'urs are 1 shipped to St. Louis from the ends of the earth. Northern Russia and Si- t7"ia send their wealth of expensive peltries and Australia and New Zea- land send their furs that are convert ed and manufactured here for sale at prices to suit the most modest purse. The man who deals in expensive seal skins or sables and the man who op- crates in cat or rabbit skins, each find here the broadest market.

HOME OF FAMOUS MEN CHOSEN FOR
 FIRST GERMAN NAT TIONAL ASSEMBLY Y

Weimar. capital of the grand duchy of Saxe- Weimar- -Eisenach, 50 miles southwest of Leipzig and Al miles southwest of Berlin, known as the poets city, and the German Athens" was chosen for the gathering of the first German National Assembly, it IS said, because it is q non-P -Prussian town. It is situated in a fertile val ley on the river Inn, a small tributary of the Saale, and has population of less than 50,000,
 Here, amid the old buildings that remind one of a medieval past, the 40 representatives of the German people elected on January 20, assem- ble to accept, reject or amend the draft of a constitution which has been prepared by the Ebert government and to form, perhaps a union of States on the modern American prin- ciple
 Sleepy old Weimar, famous as the hale of Goethe, Schiller and Liszt, is said to have existed more than eleven centuries. Under Charles Augustus,
 Grand Duke of Saxe-W Weimar-Eise- mach, the town became a centre of Liberalism as well as art. Its most important building is the Palace, de scribed as "a huge structure forming three sides of a quadrangle, erected l q7S9-1803) under the superintendence 1 of Goethe" only Q remnant of which, however, with a tower, is still stand ling.
 It contains a series of rooms dedi- ! cated to the poets Goethe, Schiller, l Herder and Wieland. all of which are decorated lavishly with mural paint
 ings. Nearby is the house where Goethe lived from l782 to 1892, a home
 of luxury for that day, built as a gift 1 to the poet by Charles Augustus and
 presented to him by his patron upon 1 Goethe's return from his Italian tour. 1 Houses with high pitched gables and ! Iroofs give the town a picturesque ap- i ipearance, while the narrow wigding l streets of the older portion of the place. and the vestiges of the medi- eval walls, continually remind the vis-
 itor of it's historic character. The ! Stadtkirchie, or parish house of wor- ship, a Gothic structure dating from
 about 14G0. is building of rare in- terest. It has been slightly modern ized but enough of the original edi- i rice remains to show its age and clas-
 sic outlines.
 Among the nota'bles whose tombs
 are beneath it's roof are those of the princes of Saxe- -Weimar- -Etsenach, in.

 Had Edward M Bradley gone overseas when he first offered his services to the government he would probably have been sent to the front as an ambulance driver with the chance of becoming a casualty. It was no fault of his that his departure was delayed to nearly Oct. Is. Then he sailed from a Canadian port with a squadron of i 6 ships, the sole con voy being one cruiser. The voyage occupied IA days and he had a weeks leisure in Liverpool and London be- fore crossing the channel. Arrival at Paris he found the existing need for drivers supplied and was assigned to work in huge Red Cross warehouse putting up goods for transfer to the front. His compensation was S36 wages and 900 francs for living ex- penses per month. Luck continued with him in the getting an early dis charge and he sailed homeward from Brest Jan. 12 on the George Washing ton Everything hau been agreeable until he reached home when adver- sity struck him in the shape of a prostrating cold.
 The suggestion has been made that the exercises welcoming home the Bedding soldier boys be held at The Danbury armory, an idea that should not and probably will not find favor with the general Bedding public Any incidental welcome extended to our boys who may chance to belong to units disembarking at Danbury would 1 be well enough, but the real excep- tion should be a community affair, l locally staged. The town hall would seem the proper place for it and the occasion should arouse sufficient in terest and enthusiasm to provide a l befrting program.
 Marcus H. Burr and Louis c. Rum l sey, appraisers on the estate of the late John s. Sanford, have filed their | inventory placing the value cf the house at $1,20O and that of the barns and 1O6 acres of land at $4,12O.

itary train which precedes us there is no sleeping car and the officers are camping with their men in the box cars. We are fortunate in one re- spect. Lack of Russian equipment and facilities for cooking oblige the officers to eat the same rations as the and nourishing.
 Lack of railroad C; $ is the most striking feature of life in Siberia to- day. There is deplorable disorgani- zation. There is urgent need of cen tra1 management and people who have the welfare of Siberia at heart earnestly hope that John F. Stevens, the American railroad expert, who is now here, will be given a chance to bring order from chaos.
 It was a picturesque spectacle. The train stopped at stations on the way from Vladivostok to Harbin Tall Russians, Chinese and Koreans in bulky, tattered, filthy garments swarmed around the train offering doubtful looking catables for sale. Hungry, long haired dogs. wolfish in appearance, prowled about the cars, snapping and growing, gulping down anything that will stay death. In a band in a lonely area they would be formidable to any man. The weather was keen and cold, the wind biting. Long delays occurred at almost every station Many freight cars were seen but few in movement. Disorganiza- ton reigned master.
 The two lessons taught early in the journey were, first, the great material obstacles to be encountered in send ing a big army into Siberia and the imperative need of central manage ment of the Siberian railroads. The comfort and perhaps the lives of the people of Russia depend upon a prompt central control of the railroad.

RAILROAD CONTRO l NECESSARY TO
 BRING ORDER TO DESOLATE RUSSIA

Enroute to Omsk, Siberia, Feb. 6- Correspondent of the Associated Press) People have talked lightly of sending an army of half a million men or more to western siberia to battle the Bolshevism or for any other reason connected with this stu pendous Russian problem. The Jap anese learned by bitter experience in the war with Russia of the difficulties of a Sibrian campaign and would ponder long before dispatching a mighty army to the far Ura1 noun tains. The correspondent of The As sociated Pres, as a passenger on a special British military train bound for Omsk, the seat of the All-Rus- sian government, is having a close opportunity to study the difficulties of transporting great army.
 We have on board a company of splendid British troops recently ar rived from India-men of the famous Hampshire regiment-the territorials or militia of England who offered to go to India to replace the regulars and who served there for two years. Now the fortunes of war find them riding across the barren lands of Manchuria on their way to the heart of the Si- berian steppes where the temperature is forty degrees below zero. Anxious as they are to return to their homes in England they fulfill this new task gladly and tght-heartedly. They are traveling in plain, rude box cars, grouped about stoves with all the dis comforts that a journey of two or three weeks, and perhaps, more in- wolves
