PULLAR & NIVEN "KAISER PLANNED A CORNER ON SHIPPING " Austrian Socialsts See Gommer- cial Move in U-Boat Campaign Copenhagen, July 28.—The Aus- trian soclalists never have heen «friendly toward Germany's submarine campaign, and the party organ at Vienna, the Arbeiter Zeltung now prints an article maintaining not only that the campaign of ruthless- ness will not hasten the end of the war but was not undertaken to that end, but to give the Germans a ship- ping advantage in the after-the-war competition, Scheidemann Defies Government. Copenhagen, July 28—Philip Schei- demann, socialist member of the Reichstag, gave yesterday the views of the socialists on their participation In the government. Herr Scheide- mann said that if really a Parliamen- government were formed with a program which the soclalists could approve they must participate and share the responsibility. If, however, members of the Relchstag were only to become sybordinates to under sec- retaries and chancellors they would not accept the invitation to partici- pate. Herr Scheidemann said it was nec- essary to defend Germany against Russia as long as it was an enemy but the socialists did not desire to see the fruit of the revolution destroyed. The Galician retreat involved the Russian soldier and the masses 1n frightful sufferings. The socialist government was able to assign the responsibility for this enormous misfortune to the socialists of another school. Herr Scheidemann set hopes for a tpeedy peace upon Russian socialists but not the maximalists, who trans- formed brother strife into murder and Involved the country and army in deep trouble. This should serve as a warning and an example to the Ger- man socialists not to follow the’dan- gerous advice from abroad to work for a revoluton amidst war. He said that to attain it all sides must hold fast to the program of the Council of Workmen’'s and Soldiers’ delegates and the German Reichstag, uninflu- enced by a military situation. He warned against o new attempt to offer TRussla a separate peace and declared that an announcment should be made that Germany has no desire for con- quest on any side and that Belgian Independence would be guaranteed as well as the integrity of France. Herr Scheidemann said that Premi- er Lloyd George's suspicion that Ger- many wishes to lay a hand on Helgi- um, unfounded because this is incom- patible with the Reichstag resolution Scheidemann had previcusly declared that the struggle to determine wheth er the people should rule in Germany was not complete alis demanding a kovernment which act in the sense of that resolu- were would tion.

Representatives of the Salvation army’ arrived at headquarters today and soon will make arangements to hold meeungs in the various billeting areas. January Coldest Month. The headquarters staff has received from the I'rench goverment meteor- ological data of the department in which the American troops at training and also for the part of the line in which the American troops may eventually be employed. These fig- ures show January is the coldest month of the year, with a mean tem- perature of 33 degrees, fahrenheit, a maximum of 46 and a minimum of five above zero. The lowest tempera- ture recorded in ~this section of Irance is 9 below zero, in 1879, and the highest 102 in 1881. July is the hottest month, with an average maximum of 90 degrees and an average minimum of 45, the days be- ing very warm and the nights quite cool, November, December, January, February and March are cold months, with much rain and quite a little snow, so that preparations already are being made to protect the men as far as possible from winter hardships. Dampness causes the cold to be felt keenly, a temperature ‘of freezing on this side being as uncomfortable and disspiriting as zero in most American latitudes. The hard and willing work of the troops in training has made the offi- cers more keenly anxlous than ever to provide wholesome amusements for them in their moments of leisure. They now have band concerts, given by both their own and French bands, and it is hoped soon to have moving picture outfits available for every battalion. The suggestion has been made that war pictures such as the Finglish film of the Somme battle and later pictures from that front should be shown to the men repeatedly, giv- ing them an accurate idea of what actual fighting conditions are like. It is now being planned ¢o take both officers and soldiers to the French front in detachments from time to time, so that they may see and study life in the trenches before they are actually called upon to take their places there. These trips will all be-made during the training period and men who have been in trenches will instruct other squads in what they saw and learned there.

RUSHING WORK ON U-BOAT FIGHTERS Records Being Made in Construc- tion of Navy Destroyers ‘Washington, July 28.—The smashing all jcan speed records in constructing destrovers to help fight submarines. Vessels of types that took two years to build before the war are now he- ing turned out in ten months. Shifts are working ‘around the clock. The only obstacle to still further reducing the construction period is the short- age of engines. Preparations are belng made on a large scale to increase the building facilities for engines. When this is done it is probable destrovers will ne turned out in eight months. The dc- partment has canvassed the country for shipbullding concerns capable of building these vessels or even parts of them. As a result many firms that heretofore never went in for fight- ing ships are now building destroyers. The present program appears to ho based upon the belief that the United States should throw all its forces against the submarine campaign be- tween now and next spring. Reports that, the navy is preparing to make an offen: in conjunction navy department is Amer- with the British appear to have no foundation. perfenced naval officers are mous in the belief that it unwise to endanger of the Allies by exposing them to the great guns Germany has on the coast. The best judgment in the ng is that a’ number of minor craft, rein- forced by ships of the monitor type, carrying great guns, should engage the shore batteries in an attempt to destroy the submarine base.

PAPERS !Have Been Fair and Impartial Regarding Sulfrage News (Spectal to the Herald.) Hartford, July 28.—Apparently there are people who need to come to Connecticut for information as to what the Suffragists are doing. The newspapers of Connecticut have re- ported very fairly the suffrage league’'s activities in war work. All over the United States Suffragists are taking the lead in women's war serv- ice. Dr. Anna H. Shaw is chairma of the Woman's division of the D tional Council of Defense. Mrs. Ca at the beginning of the war, offered the services of the whola of the Na- tional-American Woman Buffrage As- sociation to President Wilson, and the state associations and local leagues have nobly responded to her demand on them. In Connecticut Mrs. Hep- burn made a similar offer to Govern- or Holcomb, and the Central War Work committee of the Connecticut Woman = Suffrage Association has worked continuously to make good this offer. Yet in New York, there are read- ers of the New York Times—a strong- ly anti paper, who are under the im- to concern themselves ‘with nationa service. In a letter to the editor, editorial page a few days ago, a wri er who signs himself or herself J. G. H. states that she was an ac- tive worker for woman suffrage un- til the European war broke out, but that she ceased working for the cause when “prominent suffragists loudly proclaimed that women must ignore the war and use their energies exclu- sively for the vote.”” ‘“When women | deliberately set themsel a world movement so gigantic as ths present war,” she adds, “‘they show ! that they are as vet unfitted*for large | aims. I cannot but belipve In worlan | suffrage on the ground that & adults should have the vote, but I .now be- lieve the women to be unfitted for it and 1 will not lift a finger to hasten its coming.” What pity this woman cannot have the advantage of the fair reports of suffrage activities in our Connecticut newspapers. She must read only the New York Times which delights to report all incidents unfavorable to suffrage and omits or minimizes *hie stories of suffrage service. To do good and efficient war work women cannot do better than join one of the suffrage associations, for every suf. frage league and committee in Con- necticut, and in most other states as well, devoting its strength at tho present time to one or another of the forms af -war service—Red Cross work, food production, food conserva- tion or work for the soldiers.

July 28.—The Tageblatt correspondent with the Austro-Hungarian armies In, #outhern Galicia reports that vital rail- road communication from Kolomea to Czernowitz is now seriously menaced and threatens to cut off the Russian eighth army and remnants of the seventh which escaped across the Dneister. German advance troops are said to be only a day's march from the river's loops. The evacuation of the forests of the Carpathians also is taking on the character of a panicky flight. The capture of the impartant bridgehead at Halicz, north of Stansi- lau, forced the Russian aymy corps to retreat before the seventh army was given an opportunity to seek safety across the Dneister, Large stores of military supplies and foodstuffs were-scattered along the path of retreat. The civilian popula- tion, which had taken refuge in the forests, is now returning-home. Since the fall of Tarnopol 16 towns north and south of the Dneister and more than a hundred villages have been cleared of Russians. Vienna, via London, July 2 official communication issued by tro-Hungarian headquarters reads: Fighting ,occurred in the upper Suchitza region. The villages of So- vela and Neteretei remain in the hands of the enemy. “On the Russian from Tartar Pass to Kirlibaba the enemy showed -signs of weakening.
