STRIKE AFFECTS
 SCORE OF CITIES
Continued from Page One)

(Continued from Page One) Adent Hutcheson said, but govern ment and private contracts held by association members In more than score of cities will be affected. These include Bridgeport, New Haven, Wa lerbury, Hartford, Norwich, Connec- ticut; Boston, Lawrence, Mass; Providence, R. l., Camden, N. J., and Washington, D. c.
 No estimate of the number of men affected throughout the country could be made at this time, MT. Hutcheson said, but he expressed the opinion that at least 25 per cent. of the union allied tradesmen in and around New York were employed by members of the Builders association.
 Samuel B. Donnelly. secretary of the Employers association, declared that committee had been appointed to discuss the carpenters grievances, but that the men must first return to work before any discussion could take place. President Hutcheson asserted that the men would not return to work until the dollar a day increase was granted. although he expressed willingness to submit the controversy to the United States War Labor board for settlement.

BURRIOOS GETS 6
 MONTHS IN JAIL

Edward Burrioos, eoIered, of 1sg Knewlton street, was sentenced to six months in jail, by Judge Frederic A. Bartlett in city court this merning, after he had been found guilty of as- sault on Samuel Geduldig, a store keeper of 46s Water street,
 The assault was committed in the store, on the afternoon of January 25, and the case has been continued from time to time since that date, as Burrioos told several conflicting stories about the affair,
 Burrioos entered the store, and while MT. Geduldig's back was to him grabbed his intended victim by the throat, and struck him over the head with a home made black jack, which broke. This is probably the only thing which saved the life of the assaulted man.
 Although struck repeatedly, Gedui- | dig managed to struggle free, and run to the street. calling for help. In the mix up, Burrioos attempted to get some money out of Geduldig's pee | kets.
 Burrieos was captured at Main and Wall streets by a traffic officer, He denied that he was the man, who committed the assault

OFFICIAL NEWS
 CAUSED ERROR

Washington, Feb. 8.---Printing of the official transcript of testimony of Captain E. G. Lester of the army in telhgance service, before the Senate committee Investigating German prop aganda has disclosed an error in The Associated Press report of statements by Captain Lester regarding the em- ployment of J. J. Dickinson in Wash ington by George Sylvester Viereck before the United States entered the war Captain Lester testified that Dickinson was employed in 1916, and in response to questions stated there was nothing in his investigation to show any German connections or Ger man activities by Dickinson after Feb ruary, 1917.
 The error, occurring In the report of a discussion by Captain Lester of a letter written to President Wilson af- ter the United States went to war in which Viereck protested loyalty, at tributed to the witness the statement that 1t was only a short time after writing this letter that Viereck came to Washington and employed Dickin- son as his secret agent to obtain in formation from the United States. The transcript shows that Dickinson's en- ployment was discussed after the ref erence to the letter, but that Cap tain Lester did not connect the two incidents.
 MT. Dickinson appeared before the committee on January IT at his own request and testified that he was en- ployed by Viereck to write articles for the Fatherland in 1916 and that he severed the connection when the Uni- ted States broke relations with Ger ] many.

GUM TAKES PLACE OF WATER
Assuages Thirst of Soldiers Fighting In Country Where Liquid Waa
 Practically UnobtalnabIe.

Of all the varied means of mast- catory stimulation which have been resorted to by man in all climes and ages the great American gum seems least harmful and most helpful. That there is a physiological demand for some masticatory stimulant, says the New York Medical Journal, is shown by the universality of the practice of chewing. Whether it be the tobacco of the American Indian, the betel nut of the East, the slippery elm bark, the tamarack and the spruce gum of the down-east Yankee, the sweet gum of the Gulf states, tle chicle of the Mexi- cans, which, in it's American adapta- ton, becomes the great American chewing gum, man has always felt the necessity of chewing something more than his meals That there Is a prac- tically useful side for this habit Is evidenced by the orders placed by the quartermaster of the United States army for 2,3O00o0 packages of this standard American dainty. We learn from the war department that the commanding officer of field artillery regiment, about to embark, stated that 250 ponds of chewing gum would take the place of hundreds of gallons of drinking water when water was most needed and least readily obtain able. The American Red Cross re- gently cabled an order for chewing gum for use in the reconquered ter rtory where the wells had been pois- oned by the retreating Germans.

Eruption From the Sea That Struck Terror Into the Heart Of Youth.
 fui castaway,

J. Allan Dunn's "Jim and the Ad- miral," In Boys Life, contains this passage: Jim Is alone on an atoll of the South Sea islands when a band of blacks invade his solitude.
 Something appeared on q seething crest, slender length of black like 6 mammoth water beetle, striking out with desperate legs. The next instant it slid sideways down the watery hill and smashed upon the reef. A dozen figures fell from 1t and then dozen bobbing heads appeared in the lagoon. It was a canoe, the bobbing heads were those of natives.
 "Whiie he stared, first one, then an- other, dragged weary body up on the beach and rested on hands and knees with heads hanging down as if exhausted. Slowly thay got to their feet and staggered up the beach.
 ''They were like no natives Jim had yet seen. These men were black rath- CT than brown. Their hair stood up in fanIike ffigaes. dyed yellow and red by lime. Their foreheads were low, eyes deep sunken, chins retreating. The lobes of their ears hung in ragged strips almost to their shoulders and, stuck in the leathery fringes, were or aameats of brass and shell, Save for & wisp of fiber they were stark naked. And they were almost skeletons. Hips and ribs showed through skin tight as the parchment on a drum, elbows and knees were great knots and the legs and arms mere bone and corded sin ews. Their lips were hideeusly swol- len and cracked, they leaned on long spears. One, who seemed the leader, with fiat shell thrust through the cartilage of his nose, carried a club in- set with gleaming bits of shell and studded with sharks teeth. In the lagoon, it's outrigger smashed, drifted their canoe, high-prewed, elaborately carved model"

Armor Auain in Uge

4a ancient calling is again very much alive. The armorer is at work turning out armer for fighting men; and, in most distinguished case, the chief armorer of the Metropolitan Nu- scum of Fine Arts, New York, Dan- iel Tachaux, has been working for modern warriors with the very ham, mers and anvils that once were used in armering their medieval forerunners. To be sure, armor nowadays is not so cumbersome that when the wearer ia upset he has to lie fiat on his back until somebody kindly stands him up again; but it has turned out that, for practical purposes, modern design adds nothing to the protective detail of the separate pieces of old-time armor.

CITY LOVED BY FRENcHMEN

 Old and Marvellous Cathedral.

If citations of Metz have especially interested American readers, refer ences to Reims have appealed most to the Trench themselves. For ReIms is very dear to them-for historic, for patriotic, for religious, and for liter ary reasons. Nothing, perhaps. has rejoiced our French allies more than the fact that the Germans have never been able to take Reims, however close they have come to 1t.
 It is the damage that has been done to the glorious cathedral of Reims that constitutes one of the greatest artistic tragedies of the war. Here, in this magnificent cathedral, the kings of im- perial France were crowned. Here Joan of Arc led Charles VII to his cor enation-the sainted Joan who freed Reims from it's enemies.
 One of the great pieces of news from the western front was to the eN. feet that Reims had been finally and definitely cleared from the menace Sf the German guns,

NO COMPENSATION.

In an appeal to the superior court by the Burns Company, from a ruling in which Commissioner Buckingham awarded the widow of George c. Falls $500 a week for a period of SIP weeks, resulting from the death of Falls while attempting to stop a team belonging to the Burns Com pany from running away.
 The acident occurred at Connecti- cut and Seaview avenues, where Falls, who was in the employ of the Burns Company and driving one of their teams, at 1880 D. m., had left the team standing and repaired into a cafe for a drink. At the time he should have been in a distant part of the city attending to particular work.
 Judge Greene has set aside the award by the Commissioner of Com pensation on the grounds that Falls had left his job, entered the saloon for his own convenience and in doing | so had left the team exposed to dan- ger.
