GERMANS GLUT
 LEATHER MART

London, Nov s.-Buyers from Paris who wish to attend the Inter national Shoe and Leather Fair which is being held here are accom- modated with a special service of aeroplanes from the French capital to this city.
 The present fair, which is the tWenty-frst, is the biggest yet held There are over 400 exhibitors-but none from Germany and the Depart ment or Overseas Trade is actively cooperating with the British manu- facturerS in their endeavors to find overseas markets.
 In view of the recent eslump" in the leather industry, says the Ameri- can Chamber of Commerce in Lon don, commenting on the Fair much dissa atisfaction is being expressed at the imports of German upper leather which is reported to be arriving in large quantities.
 Before the war British factories only produced roughly 40 per cent. of the glace kid used in Britain and 50 per cent. of the box calf During the war the industry was urged by the government to extend its plants so that in the future Britain would be independent of foreign supplies.
 In consequence, factories and plants were extended so that more than T5 per cent. of the requirements can be met from home manufactories and the dumping of German leather is therefore hitting the British tan ming trade very hard.

most caressingly on the name her con- sin Tom applied to me- Here we nave homeless blue robe-and a gentleman's keys. Really I can see Inat 1 Ia better win the game from Phoebe and secure your speciality for you-to wit the chance to chaperon two ind1screet girls to dinner"
 Po1soned barbs those words-every one or them. And every little arrow found its mark.
 On several occasions I had thought of the keys Tom Mason had flung into the secret compartment of the carved chest on that horrible night when I came home from-the Canteen and tound him in possession of my apart ment. But didn't know how to open the secret compartment and I found refuge in hoping that those keys might respose undisturbed until the happy If far day when we left the Mason apartment forever.
 "Oh not indiscreetI" I said suave- ly, forcing my eyes to meet and hold Evvy's. Just young-you two. Why not play checkers. till Jim comes in and then take us along to your charm ing French restaurant"
 Evvy flung up her hands and then dropped them again. dangling the keys anew as she did so. She shrugged her shoulders and turned to Phoebe:
 shall we accept the excellent chaperon the Fates have thrust on oo AS SiieilA we uo that-and postpone our getting ac- quainted until another night? Or shall wep lay it off on the checker board? If I win we admit Anne and Jim to our tiny circle. You win and we two bachelor. maids have our f1ing!"
 Phoebe's eyes began to sparkle with mischief and delight. The sullenness went out of her.
 Let's play for it. It's fun leaving thin gs fo chance-and Vac wont ex-aY let me toss aApenny. I like betting on things and matching pennies, too''
 Evvy turned to me, smiling with ev- ident enjoytlent. Then she came close and opening the hand that hung at my side, she tucked into it Toms

KEEP
 PLEDGES MADE
 TO THE ALLIES

Paris, Nov. 3.-The new German government has in a very large measure justified the confidence in its sincerity expressed by Premier Lloyd George in a statement to the Inter national News Service at the conclu- sion of the Spa conference last July.
 Germany has approximately full filled the two important pledges she gave the allies at Spa, though her own leaders at that time expressed doubts as to her ability to carry out her promises. She has delivered to France even a little more than the amount of coal she promised though there are some complaints as to it's quality. She has practically fulfilled her agreement as to disarmament for the period ending October l, and now advices received by the Council of Ambassadors shows that she has yir- tually carried out the air clauses of the Treaty of Versailles, a matter that gave the French very much concern.
 Worry Overy Airplanes
 France has kept a watchful eye on the execution of the air clauses of the treaty, realizing that the Germans would be incapable of any early hos tile action if they were stripped of air power. There are constant com- p1aints in the French press that Ger man civilian aviation is progressing g
 
 the Ambassadors show that the deliv- cry and destruction of former war planes and dirigibles in accordance with the terms of the treaty have been virtually completed.
 At Spa, the German were frankly told that they had failed to fulfill the treaty terms with regard to aero plane and balloon delivery and de- struction. They were further told that the carrying out of these clauses would be one of the tests of sincerity specially considered by the allies.
 To Deliver DirigibIes. The Interallied Aeronautic Control Commission has now certified that the work is about done, insofar as mobile war material is concerned. Except ing the five Zeppelins destroyed by their crews, all those which were to have been handed over to the Allies have been delivered, or are about to be delivered. There remains only tn question of the delivery of the two passenger carrying Zeppelins, the Bo- claimed by the allies to replace tn | five destroyed dirigibles and it is be- | lieved the Germans will deliver them A very large majority of the aero l planes claimed by the allies under the | treaty have been delivered or de l stroyed. The French actually. took possession of only a few and these ot | the latest types The others were | destroyed in Germany.
 1 Under the arrangement made al | Spa Germany was given until Febru- | fixed aerial material" This work k | going forward at a satisfactory rate | and it is probable that it will be com pIeted by the date fixed.

QUALITIES A LOAF OF GOOD
 HOMEMADE BREAD POSSESSES

Good homemade bread is about the most appetizing of foods when one is hungry, but there are many kinds of nomemade Eome ia e.d bread; ada Some is good.
 which kind do you make? If you don't know, judge it by the following descrlpt1on of good loaf given by the Home Economic Kitchen of the
 united States Department of AgricuI- ture: Good bread is porous and contains large number of holes or cells. all
 of which are of about the same size and shape. It is better for some reasons to think of it as a mass of tiny bubbles made of flour and water and hardened or fixed in shaps by means of heat. This calls attention but also to the character of walls of the cells, which in good bread are al- ways very thin.
 A loaf of bread should be light in weight considering it's size, and should have a symmetrical form and l an unbroken, golden-brown crust The crust should be smooth on top
 and should have a certain 1uster, to given.
 The loaf as a whole. the crust and the crumb, should be elastic. The loaf, if pressed out of shape. as it should regain its form when the pressure is removed. Bits of the crust, if bent little between the | fingers, should show the same power | to rebound, as should also the cut | surface of the leaf if pressed. 1 The crumb should be creamy white | in color and should have a "sheen,' ''
 which may be compared with the | bloom of the crust. This sheen can | best be seen by looking across a slice
 rather than directly down into it. The | distribution of the holes, on the other hand, and the thickness of the walls l can best be examined by cutting a | very thin slice and holding it up tc the light.
 The flavor of the bread should be | as nearly as possible, the flavor ot | wheat developed or brought out by | the use of salt. This flavor is moi
 easy to describe, but is familiar tc
 those who have tasted the whea l kernel.

GIGANTIC SHAM BATTLES
 STAGED BY U. s. TROOPS
(By International News service)

(By International News Service)
 Cob1en, Nov. 2-The most extensive peace-time maneuvers ever carried out by the American Army have end- ed from the ''froHt" of the American Army of Occupation in Germany:
 Objective reached. Enemy in re- treat along entire front. Will con soHdate, reorganize and continue at tack.''
 For two weeks practically every unit of the army of occupation en- gagged in the maneuyers conducted in Coblenz. To put spirit into the men victorious American attacks in the late war were simulated and in driv- ing rain and mud the Doughboys re- peated the assaults of -Thier- ry, St. Mihiel and the Argonne with all tke vigor of soldiers engaged in actual warfare. From every stand point the two weeks of sham war fare was brilliant success.
 The First Brigade, commanded by Brigadier- General Fred w. Sladen, and the Second Brigade, commanded by Colonel William H. Johnston, hik- ed to the eifel hills and advance headquarters of the American Forces in Germany moved toward t. front" to direct operations. There for fortnight regiments marched and countermarched through woods and over hills. sleeping in the open,
 
 the diScomfortS of war, excepting enemy fire and shortage in "chow.' Meanwhile, staffs of various units working under actual war conditions, received orders late in the afternoon or at night for movements to be be- gun at daybreak. Practically nothing was missing but aviation liaison, there being mop lanes with the American forces of occupation.
 At Chateau Thierry''
 TrOODS Ia mi fy-x simulated the German attac on hateau-Thierry by attacking the viii lage of Adneau. A battalion com manded by Colonel William w. Mo Cannon advanced twenty miles through the darkness and rain, simu- lating the maneuver of the Seventh Machine Gun Battalion, which was rushed to the south bank of the Marne to halt the Germans in 1918 In McCammon's battalion were a number of the machine gunners who actually fought #at Chateau-Thierry and they rega1ed the youngsters with stories of the fight as trucks went rumbling along the narrow roads tc Adneau.
 For the two days following "Cha. teau-Thierry'' the two brigades tat tacked' each other after theoretica.

NOT MERELY AN OASIS

The building industry is active in at least one country, according to The Nations Business. A British official, who has been observing con- ditions in Havana, says modern office buildings of the American type are replacing old structures in the ousi- ness section, and advises costly pri- vate dwellings are increasing rapidly in the suburbs.
 Havana really needs more office buildings than residences. It has in creased greatly as a commercial cen- ter. It has had a tremendous growth in its import and export trade and it's facilities for unloading steamers have been exceeded, with a result in congestion that many an American knows to his sorrow. To an inadequate wharfage and ware house accommodations, other factors have contributed, but Havana has a good sized job on it's hands in con- structing enough proper facilities to catch up with itself

CAR HITS MAN;
 STORM BLINDED

Paul Lariezeriek, of I'll Pembroke street, died in the Bridgeport hospital at 2:30 o'clock this morning, from a fractured skull which he received when he was struck by a trolley car while crossing East Main, street near Steuben street about 8 o'clock last night. Motorman Timothy Fitzpat- rick, of Wallace court, who was in charge of the one-man car which struck Lariezeriek was arrested this morning on charges of manslaughter, and is now being held under S1,000 bonds pending the result of tn" cor oner's investigation.
 Reports secured by the police in dicate that Lariezeriek was appar- ently blinded by the heavy rain which was falling last evening, and did not see the trolley car approaching. Fitzpatrick claims that he sounded a warning on the car gong, but the pe- destrian failed to heed iH
 The Emergency hospital ambu- lance, with Dr. J. A. Maxwell in charge, arrived at the scene imme- diately after the accident occurred and Lariezeriek was rushed to the Bridgeport hospital. An operation was performed upon the injured man, but all efforts to save his life proved futile.

MEXICAN GOAL
 STRIKE SERIOUS

(By International News Service)
 Mexico City, Mexico, Nov. g. Failure to settle the coal miners strike and clashes between workers and employers in various parts of Mexico indicate that the Government is not meeting with it's usual success in handling industrial disputes.
 Until recently the government was remarkably successful in preventing trouble. Then came the miners strike. While efforts were being made to settle this, the stevedores at Vera Cruz walked out and there were strikes in a number of other cities.
 It is said that at present there are 5000 Mexican workmen on strike, will be greatly augmented.
 There is talk of a general strike, but this has been threatened at in tervals for months by radical organ izations. t
 The coal miners strike has forced some industries to close and may soon tie up railroads in the northern part of the State.
 The stevederes strike has stopped traffic at Vera Cruz.

artillery fire, seeking to capture cer- tain positions. The umpires declar- ed the result a draw.
 The problem of taking over a sec tor of the front followed this maneu- yer. The two brigades, moving as a division, used the same orders that carried the Ninetieth Division into battle at St. Mihiel Again actual conditions of war were simulated, the trucks moving frontward without lights during the night, infantry maneuvering throughs the woods in the daytime to conceal the advance from enemy aviators and pine boughs being used to camourlage artillery.
 Practice Open Warfare
 The division arrived at the front and relieved a mythical division on open warfare operation carried out by the famous s'B1ue Ridge Division in the Argonne battle, when it attacked a. strong point of German resistance mounted detachment of the Army of Occupation was the s'enemy'' taking up positions from which it "poured machine gun fire" into the advancing infantry.
 The orders for the attack were not received until late the previous night the orders being read by staffs by candle light. Medical troops made ready to handle "wounded;" signal corps troops laid lines over the en-
 
 machine gunners got ready for action; military police arranged stra ggle1 lines and prisoner pens and the ar: ti1lery begin the desultory night fire that was to increase into barrage twenty minutes before the zero hour.
 Go Cover the Top.''
 At the actual front there was something of real warfare lacking but at headquarters, where staff of flcers bored over maps and gave i'm patient answers to telephone calls ii was the old ''jump-off'' night of the Argonne battle all ovr again A heavy mist covered the battlefield throughout the night but it lifted just before the zero" hour and the troops went over the top'' with theil movements visible more than a mile behind.
 There were the usual delays, re- sult1ng from unexpected "enemy re slsItance," but the attack pushed for. ward at about the scheduled rate while ambulances began moving rear ward with their burdens of wound ed'' for the field hospital. In foul hours messages came back from the advancing brigades that objective, had been reached and the war" wa: over.
