 Although there was a great many kinds of flowers on exhibition they were divided into three large groups, roses, peonies and old-fashioned flow CTS, with the greatest interest center ing around the first two. There was a blue ribbon for the finest flower and a. white ribbon for the second best Separate prizes were offered for the most beautiful rose, another for the handsomest bouquet and third for the best individual peonie. The merits of the various flowers were based on the standards contained in the Flower Manual recently published by the authorities at Storr's.

 Are Settled

Differences between the Connecti- cut State Federation of Labor and the Central Labor Union of Bridgeport have been settled. A seat at the annual convention of the state organization in Carpenters Hall during the early part of the week was denied to Minor $.

NAVAL EXPERTS
PONDER|NG GAS
AND SUb-CRAFT
No Halfway Measures for
Former Possible, in Opinion
of Majority.
by International News Service.

The fate Of submarines and poison
gas will be the next big problem to
be considered by the naval experts,
II was indicated to-day.
These subjects have been forced to
the background by the vital issue OF
naval tonnage, and until now have
received no more than passing atten-
ton.
With the question Of naval ratios
now definitely out OF their hands, 1t
Is probable that the experts will be
asked to begin consideration of the
other pressing problems.
Regarding submarines, there In
considerable doubt. They have proved
their place as n weapon of war, de-
spite the general repulsion which
their use in the world war aroused.
Naval authorities concede this point,
but public sentiment everywhere
will be considered.
With gas, II Is pointed out, there
can be no half way measures. There
are only n few restrictions which
can safely be imposed, such as lin
iting gas to the battle area. The
usual conception Of the problem,
however, is that gas must either
be eliminated. or IL used, DO gener-
ally used as 1t was in the last war.
