GOVERNOR CALLS FOR RENEWAL OF
 LOYALTY PLEDGE

Emphasizing the "vita1 importance that loyal Ann nericans seriously at. tempt to hmericaniZe America, in- cluding native as we'll as foreign born citizens,'' Governor Marcus H. Ho1comb issued a proclamation yes terday in which the week beginning next Sunday was designated as "Loy- atty Week." The proclamation fol- lows:-
 Two great Americans, Washington ruary. They acknowledged allegiance to no other country.
 "In this period of turmoil and un- rest with foreign propaganda, pro- mu1gated in many newspapers and from many pulpits, finding fertile soil and willing ears, it is of vital inn portance that loyal Americans serious ly attempt to Americanize America, including native as well as foreign born citizens, in order that govern ment of, for, and by the people may not perish in the United States.
 Therefore, in accord with the ac- ton taken by sister states, I proclaim the week beginning on Sunday, Feb ruary twenty 1920 (Washing- toms birthday, as Loyalty Week. and urge that all citizens of Connec- ticut renew to themselves pledges ot loyalty to the Principles of Liberty Supremacy of Law, Representative Government, and the Enlightened Rule of the Majority. I also cal upon all clergymen to make public pronouncement upon the subject.

BIRTH RECORD
 SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN IN 1919

Birth records for the past year com piled by the bureau of vital statistics show that Bridgeport is suffering none of the evil effects of race suicide AL though the mark was slightly lower in 1919 than in previous years, statis- ucians regard this as due to the fall ing off in marriages during the var period.
 In 1919 there were 4,509 births, as compared with 4,93o in 1918 and SIPS in 1917. Boys predominated in 1919, there being 2,334 of this sex born as compared with 2,175 girls.
 The banner district for the year was the Twelfth, where there were SIS fu- ture citizens born. The Sixth district was next with 52S. There were 1,7o4 born of American parents, s57 Aus trian percentage, S90 Italian percentage. 6S7 Russian parentage, 15S English pa- rentage, 115 Irish parentage, "A Swed- ish parentage and most unusual was the birth of a Chinese baby.
 The physicians attending the most number of births were Dr. H. F. Wa terhouse, 1S0; Dr. Bernstein, 1SS; Dr. W. c. Watson, 15S; Dr. M I. Horn, 156; pr. B. B. Kinklestone, 91.

Y. W. GRADUATE GIVES TRIBUTE
 OF GRATITUDE

An unusual tribute of gratitude has shown itself in the canvass of the Young Women's Christian Association for it's annual budget
 The association, among other things, maintains class for the edu- cation of trained attendants and each year graduates a good-sized class of women who have not had the oppor- unity for a full nurses training, but are qualified to minister to the sick through physicians direction. The officials of the association were sur prised a few days ago to receive a check from one of this years grad uates, covering her wages flor the first two weeks of actual service. The young woman stated that the Y. w. c. A. had offered her the opportun- ity of perfecting herself in a voca- ton which not only rendered a ser vice to humanity and which was ap- preciated by the public, but gave her the chance to earn her living. She said she wanted to show her ap- preciation of the service to her by the association through the privilege of presenting her first earnings to- wards the associations budget It is needless to say that this sub
 scrtption Will be as welcome as any contribution which may be made dur. ing the campaign.

QUARANTINE MAY
 BE CAUSED HERE
 BY CORN BORER

It appears advisable to consider re- stricting the movement from the New England States, New York, and Pennsylvania of all materials that might carry the European corn bor- CT, says the Secretary of Agriculture held at the office of the Federal Hor- held at the officie of the Federal Hor- ticulturaI Board in Washington Feb- ruary 24. A survey has revlealed no points of infestation west of New York and Pennsylvania, and it is now possible to consider a Federal quar- antine.
 The European corn borer is now known to occur in portions of the counties of Essex, Middlesex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Plymouth, and Barnstable, Mass; Rockingham, N. H.; Saratoga Fulton, Montgomery, Schenectady, Albany, Rensselear, Erie, Cattarau- gus, and Chatauqua, N. Y; and Erie, Pa. Throughout the period of in festation, products that may harbor the insect have been moving, with only minor restrictions, from the in fected areas into the other New Eng land states of Maine, Vermont, Rhode
 Island, and Connecticut That fact
 makes it necessary Ito consider the advisabilities of quartining the whole 1 of New England, as well as New l York and Pennsylvania
 1 The number of plants known to | be hosts of the European corn borer
 has increased greatly since the orig inal quarantine was promulgated.
 The hearing will cover the applica-
 tion of such quarantine to corn,
 broom corn, including all parts of
 the stalks, celery, green or string 1 beans in the pod, beets with tops 1 spinach, rhubarb, oat and rye straw l as such or when used as packing cut flowers or entire plants of chrys- anthemum, aster, cosmos, zinnia, an6 hoIlyhock, cut flowers or entire plant. of gIadiolus and dahlia, excepting
 the blubs without stems, and other herbaceous plants.

FEAR BOLSHEvIK GOVERNMENT MAY
 WAR ON CHINA
Writer Tn Chinese Paper Points Out Possibility
 of Strife

Peking, Feb. 21.-Danger that the Bolshevik government of Russia may make war on China is pointed out in the Picking Leader, by B. Lenox- Simpson, writing under the pen name of Putnam Weale. He is the author of several works on China and re- gently was retained by the Chinese government as ''statistician," report ing directly to the President.
 MT. Lenox-Simpson says that in theory Bolshevism could not really declare war upon a non-capitalistic country where the millions toll as much as do the Russian millions; but, nevertheless, China finds her border provinces deeply affected be- cause agreements made in years gone by with the government of the late Emperor Nicholas have not been definitely cancelled and also 'be- cause Japan is leaving no stone un- turned to inherit those agreements and arrangements"
 The author sees a possible cause for a declaration of war on China by the Bolsheviki in the fact that the old Russian diplomatic and consular establishment in China has been sup ported by Chinese funds from the Boxer indemnity account. Tt is quite likely he asserts, 'that the Russian revolutionary government, as it pene- trates further to the East, will con- sider that this is something more than a unneutral service-perhaps a casus beIH and a reason to strike at the regions of Turkestan." He pre- diets that Japan will attempt to come to an arrangement with the Soviet government of Russia and that "the price Japan will ask will have to be paid by China unless she acts quickly"

Port Of Hamburg Being
 Advertised By Germans
Newspapers Make Appeal to North America to Take Ad
 vantage of German Seaport-Call Attention to Numerous Good Features

On arrival in Hamburg the prepa- rations for the unloading have been made; barges and lighters are to hand in order to receive on the off side the goods destined for other ves- se1s, for the warehouses or for the transport by river. At the same time the cranes on board ship and those on the quay, which are run now ex- ciusively by electricity, are unloading the remainder of the cargo onto the quay, which is suff1c jent to accommo- date the whole cargo in light and airy sheds without piIing it up The cargo is thus easily distributed to the con- signees, and the merchant can give his orders regarding the transport by cart, railway, lighter or barge, after he has investigated the condition of his consignments. Railway lines con- meet each shed on it's land and water side with the harbor railway and thus with the whole system of German l railroads, and well paved streets lead from the quays to the town.
 The barges loaded with their cargo find their way to the warehouses of the harbor and the town by means of a network of canals called Fleets, l which extends into the heart of the i business quarter of the town. The goods have hardly been landed in the sheds when loading begins again, 1 either at the same quay or at neigh boring one. If the goods to be loaded | do not require the use of the sheds l at all the ship does not moor at the | quay but midstreaIn or off the piles which are driven in some parts of the harbor for that purpose.
 The whole of the arrangements al l the sheds and in the river and at the free quays shows how Hamburg has prepared to cope with the combined traffic of valuable merchandise ant bulk goods.
 A great advantage over many othel
 ports Hamburg has obtained by tht
 near neighborhood of extensive uni
 formly planned warehouses which al
 most form a town of their own. The.
 are situated in the free port, betweel
 the harbor and the business quarter thereby combining the advantages O
 an easy access to the goods, with stor
 age free from customs. In contras
 to the quays, which are state prop
 erty, these warehouses are in tn
 hands of the Free Port Warehous
 Company (F'reihafen Lagerhau
 Gesellschaft), which has built them
 The warehouses are public, paymen
 is only demanded for as much spac
 as the goods occupy; their changin
 hands is simply effected by passing
 warehouse certificate without tn
 goods being removed.
 The port of Hamburg is ampl fitted with discharging contrivance and storing facilities for graiI , Twenty two partly fixed, partly float ing, grain elevators discharge tn , bulk grain with great r4pidity fro1 : the ships and let it run into the ligh l CTS or into the large graneries at tn end of the Kuhwarder-Hafen. Int ' l it is possible at present to hand
 about 15,00o tons during the day.

BRITAIN SEEKS CONTROL OF J. s.
 CHINA BUSINESS
Insists On British Managers For Companies In
 China

Shanghai, Feb. 20.---An order in council issued by the British govern ment in London, of which notice has been received here, requires that Brit ish subjects shall take the place of Americans as managing directors of China Companies operating in the Orient under British register.
 This affects large number of bus ir ess concerns conducted in the Far East by Americans, especially in Shanghai which is a center of Ameri- can commercial activity. To them the order conAs with stun Eng effect. Its essential part reads:
 No person other than a British subject resident within the limits of this order, shall act as managing di- rector or in any position similar to that of managing director, or shall ' otherwise exercise general or substan- tial control of a. China Company [ A fine of 80 a, day is imposed upon the company and every director and manager who violates the order. Fail ure to comply with it will be consid- cred as ground upon which an order for winding up the company may be made in court.
 1 Meetings of the American Chamber of Commerce and the American As sociaton of China were called to dis cuss the new order. At these letters were drafted and addressed to the British Chamber of Commerce and the British China Association. The texts of these letters were not dis closed but it was stated that British l comme erciaI interests were told thai l if an attempt is made to enforce the 1 provisions of the order, the future
 relationship of Americans and British | in the Orient will be imperilled. | IT. 7oIo al o+ he
 of the American interests to send 2
 cablegram of protest to the Ameri
 can State Department at Washing
 ton.
 Some of the largest business con
 cerns in the Orient are affected b!
 the new order and several of thu
 largest have been operating in thu
 Orient many years, having widespread 1 connections and vast obligations I is held that when these enterprise
 were launched it was found tha American incorporation laws had no
 been drawn in a manner to foste . commercial operations abroad whil' existing British laws have been de signed to encourage foreign trade
 This is given ordinarily as the reasol why many of these China companie , owned and operated by Americans saw fit to place themselves unde , British registration under the ordin . ances of the Crown Colony of Hong

STATES LEADS
 ALL IN SHIPBUILDINC
TURNED OUT MORE THAN HALF WORLDS TON
 MAGE IN 1919WAS FOURTH IN 1913

From third or possibly fourth place among the worlds shipbuilders in 1913 the United States, according to recent English shipping statistics in six years has won first place, with 8 wide margin of leadership. In 1919 more than half of all ocean tonnage turned out in the world was from United States shipyards.
 This great stride in shipbuildlng does not mean supremacy for the United States, the London Economist says. unless the energies developed in this branch during the war are pro ductive of a wisely guided and per manent endeavor. Shipbuilding re- turns of the Glasgow Herald, pains takingly collected from every yard of importance in the world, however. show that Americas lead cannot be cut down as long as the shipbuildins programme is in force.
 America's Lead Secure.
 "As a shipbuiiding country we have, for the time at least, lost our pride of place. comments the Eco nonist. Before the war we were easily first among nations, a long way ahead of Germany, our nearest competitor. Now, although our tota output is not much less than it was ir 1913, we are so Tar ouLoLSIdhGeu pH the United States that we have be- come a poor second. So long as the programme of the United States l Shipping~Board is pushed forward we shall probably remain pae 1 second.''
 l There is much discounting in Eng l land and on the European continen | of Americas future efforts as : | builder of ships The opinion is tha | the present huge shipbu!lding indus 1 try is a Government baby" and tha | when it faces competition upon it
 own feet then the lead of the Ameri | can industry may be cut down. ..rr11,o eI,i1h11iIdiDe output of Amer
