Hartford, Sept. 1l.—Arrangements have been made by the Connecticut State Council of Defense through its ..Committee on Sanitation and Medi- cine, of which Dr. C. C. Godfrey of Bridgeport is chairman, whereby men rejected as physically deficient may. receive free treatment of minor phy- sical defects to put them in condi- tior! to be accepted for military serv- ice. This plan, according to an an- nouncement made today at the State Council of Defense offices at the State [Capitol, in Hartford, applies both to jvolunteers and men who have been chosen under the selective service law. Dr. Godfrey, under instructions frol the defemse council, has been working for several weeks on this plan. There have been many rejec- tions of men for slight physical de- fects and the plan put in operation by Dr. Godfrey contemplates remedy- ing these defects without cost for those who will go into the nation’s service when they are in condition for it. Those who will accept this treat- ment under these conditions may apply to any member of the county auxiliary committees on medicine, hygine and sanitation, organized for the council of defense by Dr. God- rey. A list of those physicians is given below. The first man named n each county is the county chair- mail\ and, in cases where it is con- enient, the application should be ade to him. If not convenient, ap- plication for treatment may be made fo any member of the committees. Examining Physicians. . Fairfield County—Dr. H. F.

Wind- | NEW LIBERTY LOAN ABOUT OCTOBER 1 $3,000,000,000 Washington, Sept. 1.—Mr. McAdoo, secretary’ of the treasury, announces that the campaign for-the second Lib- erty Loan would begin not later than October 1, 1917, and would close on November 1. Details of the loan will not be made public until con- gress has acted upon the bill, which is pending, and no subscriptions will be received prior to that time. Mr. McAdoo expresses the hope that “‘all Liberty Loan committees al- ready existing will perfect their or- ganizations immediately and get themselves in readiness for the next Liberty Loan campaign and that new organizations will be effected wher- ever possible throughout the country for furthering this great service to the nation.” Mr. McAdoo sald that virtually the same methods would be used in han- dling the next loan as were used in the first. Indications are that the next offering’ will approximate $3,- 000,000,000. Whether it will be ads vertised by the government through paid newspaper space is under con- sideration, but Mr. McAdoo said the cost of suech an undertaking would exceed the appropriation now avail- able for the purpose. He added that there would be no -action until more information had been received re- garding the cost of an effective ad- vertising campaign and until congress had decided what amount will be allowed for advertising for future is- sues. Under the war revenue bill, passed last April, $7,000,000 was made avail- able for expenses of floating $3,000,- 000,000 in bonds and $2,000,000,000 in short time certificates of indebted- ness. It is reported that about half already has been disbursed in con- nection with the flotation of the $2,- 000,000,000 Liberty Bonds first offered and the certificates of indebtedness put out in advance of the loan. Praise for the Press. Mr. McAdoo’s statement régarding newspapers advertising, said “There seems to be an impression that the treasury department in the first Liberty loan campaign applied for free advertising, or paid for adver- tising in some papers and not in others, That is entirely erroneous. The treasury department did not ask newspaper publishers far free adver- tising because I realize that the news- paper’s only profitable commodity is advertising space and that there are many papers which are not able to give free advertising, especially in view of the high cost of print paper. “Newspapers and press associations loyally co-operated with the govern- ment In the first Liberty Loan. News and editorial columns were devated most generously to the issue. They carried its message into every home and deserve great praise for their ser- vice of patriotism. The people of the country want to know the financial needs of the government and the de- tails of the issues af bonds. This is news. This information was given to them in the most comprehensive form possible, and the newspapers and press associations have the satisfaction of knowing that they contributed im- measurably to the success of the loan. Success could nat have been accom- plished without their aid and co- operation. I have no doubt that the government will have the same genu- ine support from them in their news and editorial columns in connection with the second issue. “The question of paid adertising presents a serious problem for the government. The value of ‘such ad- vertising cannot be doubted, and if the operation could be governed by the same considerations as those which de- termine the action of private enter- prise may advertise in a selected num- ber of mediums most useful for its purposes and may control its expen- ditures for that purpose without any limitation except its own desires or ability to pay. If the government en- gages in such a campaign it must ad- vertise in every newspaper and periodical in America without dis- crimination. All must have equal treatment.” FRENCH CHAMP BEATEN. Kid Lewis Rocks Badoud to Sleep in First Round. New York, Sept. 1.—Kid Lewis, welter champion of America, knocked out Albert Badoud, welter champion of Europe, in the first round of a bout at the St. Nicholas A. C. last night. The winner can now tack the title of world's welter champion to his name. Joe Welling of Chicago, leading contender for the light weight title, stopped Tommy Tuohey of Paterson ! in the sixth round, his seconds throw- ing in the sponge at a time when Tuohey was on his knees and prac- tically stopped. It was the first time in the career of the red thratched | Irishman from Jersey he had been stopped. Frankie Burns, the veteran bantam from Jersey City, gave Frankie Brown of New York a trouncing in a bout that went the limit of ten | rounds. These three sensational contests were witnessed by a crowd that packed every inch of space In the big rink. The defeat of Badoud came so sud- denly that the onlookers were taken by surprise. Lewis began shooting a vicious left to the Frenchman’s face as soon as the gong started the first round, and he varied this perform- ance with an occasional stiff right to the jaw.

Washington, Sept. 1.—That the Germans were invincible and had all the best of the war is an additional pro-German declaration attributed to Colonel Carl Reichmann, U. S. A, a native of Germany., whose nomination to be brigadier general has been chal- lenged in the senate. Information against Reichmann came from a hitherto unexpected source when E. N. Walton, of Kenton, Ohio, appeared befare the senate mili- tary affajrs sub-committee investiga- ting charges submitted by. Senator Poindexter, of Washington. The Ohio man was called Hy the committee at the instance of Senator Pomerene, to whom Walton had writ- ten relating a conversation he had with Colanel Reichmann on a train bound for Charleston, W. Va, ‘Walton testified he had chanced to engage Reichmann in conversation on the journey and was forcibly struck by the army officer’s distinct pro-German sympathies. The witness appeared be- fore the committee in e.ecutive seasion. Detalils of Wa!ton 8 quotations from Reichmann were not disclosed by the committee, but in a general way they were in effect that Germany could not be beaten in this war and that she had all the best of it.

Sharon Mass., Sept., 1.—The direc- tors of the Sharon, Canton and Nor- wood street railroad have decided that there will be more profit in selling their rails for junk than in continuing the road in operation. They notified the selectmen of. the three towns yes- terday of their intention to rip up their tracks. Residents have started a movement to appeal to the public service com- mission to help in the retention , of street railway facilities. “RUSSIA AND THE GREAT WAR” AN ADDRESS at the | METHODIST GHURCH 730 - SUNDAY - SPET REGlLAR MORNING .SLR. VICE Subject: “THE CONQUERING CHRIST’ 10:45 NO SUNDAY SCHOOL -ket and bid for the Financial f Henry Clews Weekly Letter (Special to the Herald) New York, Sept. 1.—Liquidation in the stock market has now continued with slight interruption for several weeks. This down ward movement was based entirely upon disposition to discount price fiXing; upon the in- jurious effects of an excessive profits tax, and upon the growing prospects of peace. All three of these in- fluences mean a reduction, thaugh not necessarily an early end, of war profits which had been the principal basis of abnormal advances in the war industrials. Some idea of the vol- ume of these orders will be gained from the fact that during the fiscal year our exports of war materials amounted to $2,127,000,000 of which $800,000,000 was explosives, $187,- 000,000 chemicals, $120,000,000 copper, and brass, $95,000,- 000 fire arms, $90,000,000 automobiles, $87,000,000. horses and mules, $84,000,000 metal working ma- chinery, and $27,000,000 wire. In the fiscal year 1915-16, our total war ex- ports were $1,329,000,000; the in- crease last year being chiefly in ex- plosives, firearms, copper and brass. Since the war began in 1914, our to- tal exports of munitions have amount- ed to $3.892,000,000 last year’s ship- ments being about 60 per cent. of that total. The profits in these transac- tions, as is well known, have been very heavy, and- it is easy to calculate in what direction their curtailment will be first appled. Whether the coming shrinkage of profits has been fully discounted or not, remains to be seen. For the time being the market has been much dis- turbed by these developments; and there is little doubt that the high wa- ter mark of war profits has been per- manently passed, and that a great deal of liquidation has been. resorted to by those who foresaw these condi- tions. It will be months, however, before any treaty of peace can be higned, and months more before dis- bandment is possible of the various armies, which meantime must be fed, clothed and equipped. To the pur- chases of the Allies must also .be added our own heavy buying of muni- tions, which combined with those of the Allies will insure a high degree of activity in the war industries for some time to come. Much uneasiness attaches to the government policy of price fixing; also to the extremely radical ten- dencies of the eXcess profits tax. It is but proper to state that the gov- ernment thus far has not taken ex- treme measures in price fixing, and shows no such radicallsm as is ram- pant in the house in shaping the revenue bill. In the matter of price fixing, the administration has chiefly sought to prevent undue ~advantage being taken of war conditons by un- scrupulous speculators and profiteers. Liberal profits have been allowed to both producers and distributors. Of course, concerns which had been mak- ing abnormal profits from one source or another were disturbed. This would have happened in any event when the inevitable reaction arrived from natural causes. Nevertheless, government price fixing, however con- siderately enforced, can only be jus- tified as a strictly war measure, and should be used as little, as possible, and abandoned as soon as possible. As an economic proposition, . it is wholly unsound; because there can be no such thing as a fixed price when the thousand and one elements which make the price are incessantly chang- ing. [Fixed prices would tend to in- dustrial stagnation; and if rigidly en- forced, would soon be evaded through adjustments at some other part of the transaction. No government can eliminate the bargaining spirit in hu- man nature, which must always ap- pear Whenevar two individuals meet who have commodities or services for sale. Besides, if the government fixes prices for commodities, it will eventually and logically be compelled to fix the rate of wages for capital and labor as well. But here again is something the government could not possibly do without invoking failure and disaster. Fixing the rate for capital would inevitably lead to its confiscation and thus crueh enter- prise. Fixing the rate of wages is unthiakable; bhecause the American workman would never surrender the liberty to work for the best wages he can get and for whomever he pleases, as well as when he pleases. Unfortunately, the war has made it easy to launch a great many social- istic experiments, from which it may be more difficult to escape than ex- pected. Great Britain has already plunged much deeper into this realm of uncertainty than ourselves; and it would be the policy of wisdom on our part to watch results there before following in her wake. The radical propasals for taxing ex- cess profits as 70 to 80 per cent. also produced a very unsettled feeling. None of our large business concerns object to the appropriation of a liberal share of their” extra profits to the purpose af war taxation. But large profits are positiely needed by many of these concerns to offset extraordi- nary risks and to provide capital for the expansion forced upon them by exigencies of the war. It would be folly to distribute these prafits as divi- dends and then go into the open mar- necessary mnew capital at exorbitant rates. Moreover, immense sums are needed to finance daily transactions at current high prices, not to speak of the heavy in- crease of costs of productian in all lines. It is hoped, therefore, that the government will be able to curb the radical tendencies in the legislature, which are not only unpatriotic but will if persisted in inevitably embarrass the government in its conduct of the war. Incidentally, it may be stated, the | news of the progress on the | attitude of her soldiers. I (5 fEy Already to Show You Boys’ School Suits $5.00* $15.00 . . — e delay in the price fixing and revenue bill programs is a serious hindrance to business. Another factor of uneasiness has been the gigantic appropriations, re- ported as high as $20,000,000,000 for the current year. These are stagger- ing figlres. It is quite natwral to wonder where such vast sums are to be obtained without injury to the de- | velopment of industry. There is no Teason, however, for exaggerated alarm. About $7,000,000,000 of this money will be appropriated to our Allies for expenditures here. Another big sum will go to the shipping board for new shops. Both these items must be regarded as assets, and the expen- ditures will stimulate industry at home. Our own future outlays for the war are estimated at about $10,- 000,000,000, which sum, huge as it may seem, is easily within aur ability to meet, because it is simply author- ized and will serve to carry the war well beyond the fiscal year. The au- thorization of these vast amounts does not mean their immediate withdrawal. They will be raised gradually, and must be an exhibition to Germany of our financial determination to carry the war to a successful finish. Peace prospects are strengthening. The crumbling of Austria as a result of the splendid Italian victories is imminent, The Allies are also wear- ing down their opponents on the Western front; while Germany ieems unable to carry on any vigorous move- ment against Russia, except through intrigue. Germany is beaten but not broken. Presumably her government will not yield, except to military de- feat without or to political pressure within, which is steadily growing. President Wilson’s answer to the Pope's peace proposals was magnifi- cent in.spirit and sound in policy. , It clarified the issues between Germany and the Allies; so that every American can easily understand for what we are fighting. It showed that the United States seeks no gain for itself; but stands for justice and freedom be- tween all nations, great and small, and reparation for the wrongs dane, with- out vindictiveness or revenge. The president stands clearly for the open door, and is opposed.to all forms ot trade restrictions that would lead to international friction ar jealousy. His boldness in asserting that the present German-Prussian government cannot be trusted, and that the future of Ger- many should rest with the German people is wise and will have far- reaching eff b The message as a whole, if it vo\l]d only reach the Ger- man people, would undoubtedly hasten peace. H KNIVES IN TEETH AS ITALIANS STRIKE Terror Created Among Austrians When Charge Is Made Rome, via Paris, Sept. 1.—Prison- ers captured by the Italians in their victorious drive on Thiest reveal the fact that a very serious wearing out process is in progress among the troops of the Central Powers. For instance, the Twelfth, or Iron Divi- sion, to which was attributed the glory of breaking the Russian lines in Galicia, has been sent to the rear lines in consequence of the heavy losses suffered. Other divisions also have suffered seriously, the majority of the losses being attributed to disor- ganization of the commands and dis organization caused by the Italian artillery, which has inflicted terriffic logses on the foe, demoralizing the men completely and spreading the havoc of fear among the command- ers. Colonel Rossio, commanding the Twenty-fourth brigade, in a mo- ment of despair committed suicide. A superior officer captured on the Carso was very downhearted at the Bain- sizza, saying his high command had not expected such a vigorous push. The Italtan infantry, this enemy of- ficer said, had made an unforgettable impression, and that seeing the Ttal- ians debouch in an assault, advancing with knives between their teeth, was a terrifying spectacle. Signor Frabcaroli in describing the Monte Santo battle writes: “Unexpectedly’ came the echoes of the notes of the royal march from a | concert band situated between the ruins of the convent on the slopes of the mountain. The TItalians were shouting joyously, close to the Austrian | trenches. Our regiment was lined up and shouted, while the soldiers pre- sented arms as if electrifitd. The col- onel said, “Let us shout loudly as we face the enemy, “Vive Italia, viva the | King!” The men answered with a formidable hurrah as the Austrians fired, but the music continued while the battle was in progress.” The Messagero has interviewed Sig- nor Barzilai, who recently talked with General Cadorna “He told me, “that the onward march notwithstanding the tenacious ance, but that luckily other guarantee our perfect securi “Italy can he proud, General Ca- dorna said, of the immense and har- monious endeavor and the individua He said in closing, ‘We who are in the war see opening to us new horizons of tran- quility and faith in victory."” VRY CLEWS. i aid Signor Barzilia is developing resist- sectors 31 WEST MAIN STREET .......

SWEEPING DENIAL | Defendants in “New Haven” Suit File Answer —_— New York Sept. 1.—Sweeping de- nial of all of the allegations contained in the action for $160,000,000 recent- ly started against the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company executors of the will of J. Pierpont Morgan, William Rockefeller, Chas. M. Pratt and other one-time directors of the railroad corporation, were con- tained in the answers of the defend- ants filed yesterday in the United States Court. The action is based upon the con- tentlon of several stockholders of the railroad that in the purchase of other transportation lines the funds of the New Haven road were wasted and the $160,000,000 is demanded as restitu- tion. The plaintiffs in the action are Edwin Adams, Julius C. Morse, Geo. O. Fisk, James F. Ray, and Mary M. Clark, as shareholders. The answers of the defendants, similar in each instance, comprise thirty pages and present nine separ- ate defences. Admission readily is made that the moneys funds and credits of the New Haven road were used in the purchase of stocks, bonds and securities of certaln of the cor- porations named in the complaint. Denial is made, however, that the New Haven company, or any of its subsidiaries, at any time, directly or indirectly, ‘purchased, acquired, leas- ed or controlled” the Boston and Al- bany Railroad Company, the Metro- politan Steamship Company or the Esatern Steamship Company. Mr. Rockefeller’s answer, as do the others, admits that the plaintiffs in the present action. as well as other shareholders, requested the - officers and directors to enforce certain al- leged rights of action of the company against other defendants. Neverthe- less, the answers state that ‘“not- withstanding said requests the /said officers and directors of the said com- pany have refused, and still refuse, to bring action to enforce said alleged rights of action against other defend- ants.” Mr. Rockefeller's answer then goes into details regarding discussion by the then directors of the railroad com- pany of the requests made of them and now complained of in the bill of complaist in the present action. Upon the advice of counsel and after care- ful consideration, the answers state, the directors voted unanimously against granting the request, this action beinggtaken before the annual meeting of the company. What took place at the annual meeting then is explained in the answers as follows: “The decision of the board of di- rectors not to bring action against the one-time directors was discussed at length and a resolution was pre- sented by Asa P. French, claiming to represent the plaintiffs in this action, or some of them, requiring the direc- tors to institute and prosecute such suits for restitution, and said resolu=+ tion and a resolution to approve the action of the directors were voted upon by the stockholders. Upon such vote stockholders owning 925,124 shares voted in favor of the resolu- tion approving the action of the di- rectors, and stockholders owning 14,- 553 shares voted against sald reso- lution. Stockholders owning 14,663 shares voted in favor of the resolu- tion requiring the institution of suits for restitution and stockholders own- ing 925,124 shares voted in opposi- tion thereto.” The answer thereafter shows that the directors were re-elected at the | same meeting by vote of stockholders | owning 948,000 shares, “including the 1 votes of stockholders who had prev- | jously voted against the approval of | their action. The answers assert | th~ directors refused to take the le- ! gal actlon requested of them because no sufficient foundation existed for ! tarting such suits, that the prosecu- BY EXDIRECTORS| ticn of the suits would not be for thj best interests of tHe railroad com pany and because he stockhold ‘“‘overwhelmingly voted again brlngmg such suts.” DECREASE IN SHIPPING.

New York, Sept. 1.—Charles Her- zog, captain and second baseman of the Giants, collapsed at Ebbets fleld during the first game of yesterday’s double header. His case baffled Dr, Hart, club physician of the Dodgers, who has advised the consultation of a specialist. Herzog, whose spine was''injured, as the result of a fall in the Penn- sylvania station in this eity “eéhrlier in the season, is quite as puzzled as the doctors. His collapse came shorts ly after he had gone to the bench, following a slide for a run in the eighth inning. Herzog. declared he felt no effects of the slide at the mo ment, though his back has bothered him more or less since the former in- jury. It is doubtful if Herzog will play again this year, a fact that would injure New York’s chances in the world championship. Executor or Administrator. CAPITOL $750,000. M. H. WHAPLES, Pres't.
