In the Solomons, the Allies have
succeeded in isolating some $4,000
of the nasty little men from Nip
pom. This remnant of an invasion
force which must have amounted to
nearly 100000 men, has been cut
off entirely from Rabaul, and it is
only a matter of days before the
whole $4,000 are liquidated.

ARMY CHAPLAINS
AWARDED MEDALS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-tRAThe
Armys distinguished service cross
has been conferred posthumously
On four men of God who gave cour-
age and their own life jackets to
others aboard a sinking troop trans
port.
The War Department said yes
terday that the awards went to
four army chaplains who died
when the transport Dorchester
was torpedoed in icy seas of
Greenland in the black hours of
the morning of February 9, 1913.
The chaplains, all with the army
rank of first lieutenant were:
Clark V. Polling, Schenectady, N.
Y, sonof DR.. Daniel Polling, editor
ct the Christian Herald.
John P. Washington, son of Mrs.
Mary Washington of Newark, N. ].
Alexander D. Goode, husband of
Mrs. Theresa F. Goode of Washing
ton.
George L. Fox, husband of Mrs.
George Fox Of Chicopee Falls,
Mass.
The army said the survivors re.
ported that fear of the sea made
many aboard the. Dorchester almost
helpless because they were convinc-
ed that death awaited them if they
went oversize. The chaplains, the
army said, "calned their fears and
are given credit for saving men
by persuading them to 60 overheard
where there was a chance of res.
cue"
Those who escaped the sinking
said they saw the four standing to.
gether, handing out life belts from
a chest-and then when the chest
was empty, each removed his own
life belt and passed it out too.
When the ship poised for t h e
final plunge, the four men, repre-
senting three faiths, linked their
arms and prayed together.
The arny's chief of chaplains.
Brig. Gen. William R. Arnold, pays
his tribute:
1.-The extraordinary heroism and
devotion of these men of God has
been an unwavering beacon for the
Thousands of chaplains of the arm
ed forces. Their example has in
spired and strengthened men ev-
eryWhere. The manner of their dy-
ing was one OF the most noble
deeds of the war.
1.-TWO of the chaplains-chaplains
Polling and Fox-were protestants.
Chaplain Washington was a Catho-
lie. Chaplain Goode was Jewish.
The churches of America can be
proud that such men carried their
banners into this war, and men of
all faiths can be proud that these
men of different faiths died togeth-

GERMANY SUFFERS
SHORTAGE OF FOOD
By HUNDSON PHILLIPS

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-R-Ger-
mans ARE suffering from the first
real shortage of essential foods in
this war" after being the best-fed
civilians in Europe for almost five
years, the American Institute of
Food Distribution said yesterday.
Basing its predictions on govern
ment surveys an information
from private sources, the non-prof-
it research agency said:
'1f German armies are able to
continue resistance until n ext.
spring, their fighting men will not
be delivered enough food all the
time. Hunger will cut producing
for war and add to present dis
content among civilians.
Insufficient food and hunger
were largely responsible for Ger
mans quitting in 1918. Similar con-
ditions will be appreciably worse,
during the next four months"
Here are the institutes reasons
for Germany's plight: ~
Imports from countries former
ly occupied were cut off before
1914 harvests, leaving serious de-
flciencies of essential foods in Ger
many. Millions of Nazis retreat.
ing to the fatherland increased the
strain. Bonbings interrupted dis
tribution. rs
when armies of the United Ma
tons overrun Germany and re-
manning occupied territories" the
institute said, they will find such
inadequate reserves of some es-
sential foods and such a break.
down in transportation and food
distribution that many millions
will have to be fed for several
months under army relief.
Food supplies of some types
will continue dangerously short un-
til the autumn of 1915. Austria,
Norway and Holland will be in
similar trouble. The position of the
Danes will depend on how much
livestock and other food is grabbed
by Germans duringS last ditch
fighting.
Balkan countries are such
large food producers that. their
populations will be better off but
simple food stocks in those terri
tories, which are pricinpally CO.
reals, ade likely to nave to Russia,
whose people are seriously under
nourished"

Two New Nazi Fighters
Seen On Western Front

LONDON, Dec s. Up Ger
many has two super-speed fighter
planes operating over the western
front, one of them the rocket-pro-
PEELED interceptor ME163 capable
of flying up to 600 miles an hour.
Allied air sources disclosed yes
terday.
The other high-speed fighter is
IN jet-propelled, twin-engined
ME262, capable of flying from $50
to 500 miles an hour. Forty-one
enemy ships of this type were de-
stroyed recently by U. S. fighters
in a strafing attack at Leipheim.
Range and endurance of both
types are extremely limited, front
reports indicate, and they are re-
garded BY Allied airmen as pri-
marily defensive ships.

MANY COMPLAIN ON RED LIGHTS
Motorists Fail to Stop, Others Ignore Yellow
 Caution Signal

The police department has re- ceived numerous complaints about motorists failing to stop on the flashing red signal lights and to use caution in proceeding on the flashing yellow signal lights which are in operation at several inter sections throughout the city.
 To clear up any possible confusion concerning these lights, and to help make Waterbury safer city to live in, Officer Bill Dwyer provides the following quotation from the Conn. Motor Vehicle laws:
 Section 394 Co When flashing Red or Yellow signals shall be used at an intersection, traff1c facing a Red lens illuminated by rapid in- terrnittent flashes. Shall Stop be- fore entering the intersection, and the operator of any vehicle who has brought such vehicle to a stop in accordance with the provisions of this section, so well as operators of vehicles approaching the inter- section from other directions, shall be subject to the provisions of the statutes relating to the right of way at intersections. When Yel- low lens shall be illuminated with rapid intermittent flashes, drivers of vehicles facing such signal may proceed though the intersection only with Caution.
 The following intersections in Waterbury have the flashing type signal lights-Watertown avenue and Aurora street, Watertown ave- nue and Bunker Hill avenue, Wa tertown avenue and Robbins street, West Main street, Chase Parkway and Country Club road, Freight street, Riverside street and Chase Parkway, Highland avenue and Chase Parkway.
 Lights at the last two intersec- tions were recently installed by Sergt Edward Sullivan.

MILITARY MASS
 PROGRAM READY
Knights, Police, Bremen to Attend Communion
 Breakfast June IS

Final plans for the Military Mass and Communion Breakfast being sponsored by the Police and Fire Departments, Knights of Columbus, postal employees, veterans organiza- tions, and men teachers on Sunday, June 18th, will be discussed at a general committee meeting next Tuesday night at the Columbus Club, 79 North Main street.
 The event is an annual one and takes on unusual significance this year with the war in all theaters rising to a high pitch of intensity. The Mass and Communion services are dedicated to Waterbury men and women in the service.

VETERANS NEED
 QUALIFIED M. DIS
Physicians Disqualified for Service Affected By Pros
 Curement Plan

Physicians disqualified physically or by age for Army or Navy service may now be commissioned for as- signed to duty with the Veterans Administration, according to re- cent announcement by Dr. Creigh- ton Barker, State Consultant for the Procurement and Assignment Serv- ice of the War Manpower Commis- sion. The need of the Veterans Ad- ministration for qualified physicians has increased greatly and in order to meet this need a new procure ment plan has been set up. This plan makes possible the appoint ment to commissioned grades in the Army and Navy Medical Corps of many doctors previously rejected be- cause of age or physical disability.
 The revised procedure for recruit. ing medical officers for the Vet eran's Administration provides that.
 1. Physicians under AS years old made available to the Army but not physically qualified for Army serv- ice may be given Army commissions for duty with the Veterans Admin istration if they meet Veterans Ad- ministration requirements.
 2. Physicians under 55 years old made available to the Navy but dis qualified for Navy duty may be giv- en Navy commissions for duty with the Veterans Administration if they meet Veterans Administration re- quirementS.
 3. Available physicians between 60 and 63 may be commissioned by the Army only for Veterans Admins. tration duty, since the Navy will not appoint any physician over 60 to a commissioned grade.
 Under this program, practically every doctor who is classified avail able by the State Procurement and Assignment chairman can be com- missioned in the Army and Navy and those so commissioned have all the rights, privileges and obligations of any officer. Since only those physicians who are rated by the state consultant as not essential to the community are eligible, there is no threat to the adequacy of civil ian medical care.
