Jellcoe Explains Frequent Raids of German Destroyers London, Aug. 2.—“The British navy's contro] of the North Sea system ‘of the maritime communications of the world at this juncture is more ¢omplete than the control exercised by the army of the Central powers on land,” said Admiral Sir John Jellicoe lord and chief of the naval staff, ff an interview with the Associated Press yesterday in which he discussed the submarine menace and the naval situation at the end of the third vear of the war. “That,” he said. ‘sug- gests perhaps a train of thought which American students of the war might pursue with interest and ad- vantage to the Allled cause. But I content at this moment merely to emphasize the supreme importance of the work which the grand fleet is do- ing under the command of Sir David Beatty. “You ask me how it is that German destroyers are able to carry out raids from time to time. Such actions are entrusted to swiftest vessels under the @érman ensign and they are carried out with every advantage on the side of the Germans. The North Sea is a very big area of water. It is more than twice as large as the whole Unit- ed Kingdom—Engaind, §cotland, Ire- land and Wales—which is traversed by nearly 24,000 miles of railway lines. The German destroyers wait for ddrk and then dash off from one of the bases situated within an hour or two of steaming of the the British coast. They have the choice of an gbjective against a coast line of great length, Therc is hardly a point but i undefended, advantage having been taken of the immunity from bam- bardment which international law believed before the war to con- “Now mark these points: The en- emy has the choice of nights when the weather and visibility are most suft- able for his purpose. He puts to sea clear of his mine fields. He can steam in a northerly westerly or souterly di- rection. Alr craft are used for re- connaisance so as to gain information of fhe movement of the British patrol forces. The Germans have the fur- ther advantage of being able to fire at every aricraft which comes within sfght the moment it is sizhted. “What is the position of the British patrol whose vigilance has been sub- jected to three vears of unceasing strain? Officers have many duties to c##ry out quite apart from punishing the tip and run raids. They never know when the enemy ships will bteak out or where they will speed, and in the drkness they have to dis- criminate between friend and neutral on the one hand and foe on the other before they fire. “Despite the advantages which the G8rmans enjoy no raid has resulted ghest military gain to Cer- r loss to Great Britain. e deplore th> loss of litn among non-combatants but afler all we are engaged in a war upon which depends the freedom of the world and we can- not deflect our stratezy from its main pwpose That is what the Germans hope to effect .and they have failed. “This leads me to a few words a8 to the destroyers and submarine vases which are on the Belgian coast. Qe is Ostend, tho other is Zeebruzge. fhe Germans have applied to this tencth of sand-frin principle of intensive adopted higher up on the North sea and the island of Helgoland. The goast line i studded with heavy guns which in themsely constitute in- finitesimal ti~gets at a raige of more them 20,000 yard on which any bombardment could be carried out. “Morecver, the enemy has not been dow to make fullest use of aircrafi »nd smoke screens by way of protec- | #on. Ostend offers the bhest target, | but it can omly be attacked at rare in- of wind, weather and sea can be at- tained. Zeebrugge in the real sense of the word is not & naval base but merely an exit from the inland port of Bruges, with which it {s connected by a wide deep water canal. There is little to hit there. Still'l hcpe that the problem which the Belgian coast presents is not beyond solution. SEVEN DIE FROM HEAT IN THIS CITY (Continued from Fl\st Puge) place, 263 Elm street. He was un- married and worked at the New Brit- ain Machine Co. He quit work about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon and went home, where he went to bed and was folind dead there by his . brother Thomas, later in the afternoon. The funeral will be held at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning from St. Mary's church. Burial will be in the new Catholic cemetery. Several Prostrations. The police were called & number of times to carry people either to their homes or to the General hospital. Carl Marslk of 46 Sheldon street coliapsed at the corner of Main and Winter streets during the afternoon and was taken to thp hospital. Peter Hedberg of 25 Greenwood street, who was stricken on Arch street was taken to overcome in front of the Lyceum the- ater, was taken to his home 103 Smal- ley street. Bables have suffered a great deal from the abnormal heat and doctors have been busy rushing about to vist people of all ages, who have been made ill by the excessive temperature. Ico Main Overcome’Agatn. For the second time since the pres- ent hot spell began, Willlam Bailey of 128 Glen street was overcome by the heat this afternoon. He was stricken first at’ the municipal ice plant at Shuttle Meadow, Tuesday morning. He was taken home, recov- ered and was stricken again at the ice house on Commercial street this af- ternoon. He drove into the yard on Commerdial street with a load of ice, got off the wagon and went to douse his head with some water, when he collapsed in a heap in the corner. He was taken home In one of the ice company's automoblles. It Is Cooler Today? ‘Whether or not it has been any cooler today than yesterday or the 4 [ tervals when a favorable combination his home and Osborne Smith who was' ~cw BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1917. ‘Was most refreshing. Today however, the humidity has been as great as yesterday and the thermometer as- cend to similer heighth. Again last night several hundred people flocked to Walnut Hill park where, covered with rain coats, newspapers, shawls and blankets, and scmetimes with no other covering than their = clothing, they slept on the grass. At 11 o'clock last night there were 55 men counted sleeping on the grass of Central Park and around the Soldiers’ monument. These men remsined trere all night. Lawns surrounding private dwellings and verandas and porches were again used for sleeping purposes last night and at Lake Compounce people also slept. All yesterday afternoon and evening the swimming pool at Wat- kins and also at Lake Compounce was beseiged by hundtreds who desired to bath jn the cooling waiers. People fortunate enough to own motor cars or having friends with them spent a £00d share of last evening riding and enjoying the breezes thus created. -Others boarded trolley cars for simi- lar purposes. Palm leaf fans were much in demand and people whose homes are wired with electricity and were equipped with electric fans kept them buzzing all naight. Ice cream dealers also reaped another harvest and found it difficult to obtain a suffi cient supply to care for their custom- ers. Mad Dog Epidemic. The oppressive heat is proving a sore trial for both horses and dogs, the former suffering from overwork in the broiling sum, and the latter, in many instances, becoming cierheated and, it has been reported to the po- lice, becoming sefzed witk an ailment thought to be rabies. Last night alone, three instances were reported to the police where dogs, apparently gone mad, had bitten people. This does not include the previously reported incident in which Dr. Henry T. Bray was bitten on Tuesday by a dog owned by Leo Bojnowski on Orange street. This animal has already been dis- patched and the head sent to the state laboratories at Middletown for exam- ination to ascertain whether or not it was affected with hydrophobja. Thomas Comisky of 489 Main street reported to Sergeant Kelly last night that while passing the corner of Main and Commercial streets a stray dog, running. past, had bitten him in the leg and then disappeared on a run up the street. Another similar incident occurred on Cherry street where Rob- ert Manfridi was bitten on the face. ‘The residents do not know who owns the dog in question, but it is reported in the neighborhood that the beast had been running wild in that vicinity, attacking anything and anybody that day before has been a much mooted question and will never bhe answered to the full satisfaction of everybody. Many complained that they felt the heat worse today than before, but doctors claim, in some cases, that th is due to the debilitated condition of the system after the ravages of the last two days and nights. At any rate, at the trafiic post in front of city hall the thermometer registered 120 degrees yesterday, while at the same hour today it registered only 112. But, argues Traffic Officer John J. King, a mere matter of eight de- grees doesn’t make much diffcrence when the mercury is flirting with 100 and threatens to boil over. Both yesterday and today it was necessary to suspend activities at the municipal playgrounds where two of the supervisors ,the Misses Strosser and Burns, were slightly overcome by the heat. ILanders Factory Closes. At the Landers, Frary & Clark fac- tory the ofiicials last night decided, in view of the heat of the past two days and the consequent condition of their employers, not to open the factory for business today. Consequently notices were posted at the factory gates and when the workers arrived at 7 o’clock this morning they were advised to re- turn to their homes. In large factory buildings such as are at Landers, Irary & Clark’s plant, once the op- pressive heat gets into the various rooms it takes many- heurs for a draught to pass through and cool off the temperature, even after there is a change in the weather. It was stated at this factory this morning that bus- iness will be resumed tomorrow morn- ing and the factory will also continue to operate until ¢ o'clock Saturday evening, the usual Saturday half holi- day being eliminated this week be- -cause of the loss of time already. The factories which maintan foun- dries are still crippled and will be un- able to continue until the weather cools. At none of the foundries did the men appear today to begin their work. This includes the Vulcan Iron ‘Works, the foundries at the P. & F. Corbin factory, the Unicn Manufact- uring company, the Malleable Iron Works and the North & Judd Manu= facturing company. In other factor- ies the utmost leniency toward em- ployes has been the order of the day. In some departiments the foremen act- ing on instructiong from the factory managers, have given their workers their option of returning to work this afternoon or remaining out. In other departments the men have voluntarily left their work and in many instances individual workers falied to appear for work this morning. Other Factories Closed. Again today, as has been the case during the past few days, it was ne- cessary to suspend operations at the Stanley, Rule and Level Co. factory | this noon. At the Stanley Works the employes were told this noon that the | factory would not operate this after- | noon and at the plant of the Ameri- can Hosiery Co. both factory and of- lce closed at noon. The C| J. While | Mfg. Co. likewise suspended opera- | tions because of the weather. For the third time during the pres- ent oppressive heat wave, Postmaster W. . Delaney ordered the letter car- riers to discontinue.delivery this noon. The carriers in charge of the deliver- 8ot in its path. The third case of Hog bite, and by far the most serious one, occurred on Farmington avenue, the victim being Elizameth Kuszkosky, 10 years old, lving at 308 IFarmington avenue. The little girl, while calling at the home of Ignatz Roszoreyk of 327 Iarmington avenue, was attacked and seriously bitten by a dog. She was attended by Dr. Henry T. Bray and ordered re- moved to the hospital for treatment. The little girl was so badly bitten and her body so badly lacerated and torn by the dog’s teeth that it required sev- eral stitches to close the wounds. Evi- dently the dog attacked the child twice for she has a terrible wound on the thigh, where it is apparent that the beast sank his fangs and ripped out the flesh. The other wound is in the lower abdomen. After the wounds had been properly cauterized it was necessary for the attending surgeon to take four stitchesin the wound on the thigh, and two more to close the gap- ing laceration in the child’s abdomen. At the hospital last night it was stated that the child’s condition was not very good, but this morning improvement was noted. In addition to these cases which have been reported to the authorities, there are a number of cases in which several people are said to have bheen bitten by dogs but who have thus far made no officlal complaint. It is also said that a number of dogs have been bitten. The police have issued a state- ment advising the public to give all strange dogs plenty of room and pro- voke no animals in any way. Owners of dogs are also advised to take care of them during these hot days by pre- venting them from running loose. Dog owners are also advised to keep their animals indoors as much as pos- sible and to occasionally wash off thelr heads with cold water to cool their blood. Many owners of dogs are keeping the beasts in the cool cellars during the hot wezther. The police also advise the public that it is thelr duty to report imme- diately any incident where a person or a dog is bitten and to also report any suspiciously acting dogs. 22 Deaths in New York. . New York, Aug., 2.—Twenty-two deaths was the total at noon today of the torrid wave that is still grilling the city. The temperature was 94 at noon. New Bedford, Aug. 2.—A threatened general heat strike among cotton mill operatives here today failed to ma- terialize and only a small percentage of the spindles in the city was af- fected. Only one of the larger mills was entirely closed, Torrington, Aug. 2.— Mark Large, aged 60, died at 6 o'clock last night of heat prostration. He was a baker and was stricken at his ovens. Guilford, Aug. 2.—Charles Chitten- den, 55, was found dead in a fleld after work last night. His horse was feed- ing beside the road. Dehth of the farmer was due to the heat. % ON MOTANO LOST American Consulate in London Learns of Heavy Loss of Life When Ameri- ieg about the center of the city wiil | distribute mail at 5 o'clock this even- ing.

REDUCE TAX ON BUSINESS SURPLUS Prohibition Amendment Put Over Until September Session Washington, Aug. 2.—In further revision of the war tax bill the senate finance committee today decided to reduce from 15 to 10 per cent. the tax rate on corporations’ ‘undivided surplus, which large interests have vigorously opposed. The new 10 per cent. rate also would not be applic- able to undistributed surplus “actual- ly invested and employed in business or retained for employment in the reasonable requirements of the busi- ness.” The change was made in what is known as the Jonek amendment and virtually is a surtax on corporate in- comes. The modification provides that should corporations retain sur- plus income, ostensibly to use in their business and then hold the surplus without using it, the original 15 per cent. rate shall apply. No other revisions of the bill were agreed upon today, but the commit- tees hope to complete it by Saturday for begnning of senate debate next week. The tax on surplus applies in addi- tion to corporations. to joint stock companies, associations and insurance companies, payable upon 1915 in- comes. National prohibition by constitu- tional amendment was hung up in the house today by the prohibition lead- ers themselves. The resolution to submit the pro- posal to the states, passed yesterday by the senate, was put out of the program for the present session and ‘will not come until the regular ses- sion in Semptember. The conference agreement on the food control bill, containing neither of the senate amendments which would have provided for a congres- sional war expenditures committee and a food board of three members, wasg reported to the house today. Both proposals, which had been objected to by President Wilson, were stricken out of the bill by the conference. The house is expected to adopt the conference report tomorrow. The senate rules committee today again took up for consideration Sen- ator Weeks' resolution for a congres- sional committee on the conduct of the war. A similar provision in the food centrol bill caused the deadlock of the conferees on the measure which was broken only after they had agreed to limit it. President Wil- son had opposed the provision. 1t is considered doubtful whether the Weeks' resolution can pass both houses. It was bitterly fought by ad- ministrators leader DEATHS AND FUNERALS Mrs. Caroline A. Fenton. Mrs. Caroline A. Fenton, 80 years old, widow of Frank Fenton, former- ly well known residents of this city, died in Middletown yesterday after- noon.

MUZZLE YOUR DOG Mayor Quigley Issues Order to Have 311 132 314 | All Canines Muzzled Tomorrow Un- til Further Notice. In order to take time by the fore- lock and prevent any possible spread of the rabies, which have alreads caused one death in this city within a week, and to prevent further In- fection of hoth man and beast, Mayor George A. Quigley announced this afternoon that he has issued an edict ordering all dogs in the city to be muzzled tomorrow. The mayor's or- der specifies that all dogs in the city must be muzzled. beginning tomor- row, and must remain muzzled while on the streets until further.notice. The mayor arrived at this conclu- sion after lengthy discussion with police officials and various physicians, all of whom agreed that this _is the time when dogs should be muzzled to prevent them from biting people and other animals. Xlsewhere is an annount of three persons seriously bitten by supposedly mad dogs yes- terday and it is to prevent repitition that the mayor has made this rule. In addition to biting the several people, Mayor Quigley has been in- formed that a mad dog from Hart- ford ran amuck in Newington yester- day and bit two cows which had to be killed immediately. That rabies are prevailant in various sections of the state is a statement made this af- ternoon by well known physicians and, they agree, there is every rea- son to assume that, aided by the tor- rid weather, the disease has spread to and. will continue to spread unless rigid rules are made to quell it.

STOCK EXCHANGE. | i .....NEW BRITAIN, CONN. | shs American Brass shs New Britain' Machine shs Colts Arms shs Scovill Mfg. Co. shs American Hardware Steel and Pig Iron Markets The Iron Age says: Active buying of iron and steel broducts by the Government, in some cases with prices stipulated, but for the most part at vrices to be fixed la- ter, is in contrast with the continued abstention of private buyers from the market. There is little dissent from the view that present conditions are likely to last for some time and that if meantime some of the price peaks come off the steel trgde will not suf- fer. Along with intimations that the in- quiry into steel-making costs will take longer than was counted on are slgns of a more reasonable attitude at Washington as to the prices to be paid for steel products. But the un- certainties of the situation are enough to stir up a good many manufacturing consumers of steel over exaggerated reports of the amount of the coun- try’s output the Government and its Allies are likely to require. For the most part—there are some exceptions—stcel manufacturers are quite willing to see the present check on the long continued bidding of buy- ers for material under the fear that they could not get enough to continue in operation. Chief of passing developments have been the buying of 150,000 tons of rails by the Government for the build- ing of a double track railroad from its Trench port to its battle front, a marked reduction in output of steel works and rolling mills due to the ex- treme heat in all producing districts, and the efforts of manufacturers in | steel and metal-working lines to have exempted from conscription enough | employces to hold out-put of war ma- terials where it is. The Washington Government's rail- road operations In I'rance will be on | a large scale and a vast cngineering There will also be consideraple buying of light rails for portable tracks. The standard sections just bought are 80-l1b rails. senmer or open-hearth rails will be accepted, $38 per gross ton be- ing paid for the former and $40 for the latter. For angle bars $3.25 was paid, and for track bolts and nuts $5.50. Deliveries are to be completed by Oct. 1. The Steel Corporation took 90,000 tons of the rails and the re- mainder was divided betWeen three | companies. Over against the aktove prices for rails, which are those at whi¢h rai roads bought last year for late 1917 delivery re current sales at 100 per cent. higher. At Chicago a 700-ton sale of rails has just been made at $85. For the Government's French railroad, 300- locomotives have been placed, and there are negot:ations ror 17,000 cars. About 100,000 kegs of spikes are wanted. i France's plate purchases through J. P. Morgan & Co., of which 25,000 tons was reported last week, run up to about 60,000 tons, at 6c., for hull steel and 8.50c., to 9c., for boiler steel. The holding up of certain export rollings has been the first effect of the embargo enforcement and the effect on prices of resales of some materials for which irrevocable credit had been provided is having some tion. , In the present situation all tendencies are toward easier condi- | tionsg, but with mills booked so far| ahead the change thus far is scarcely measurable.
