LONDON'S POOR SEEK ENGLISH AIR RAIDS many as Huns Do England. London, Oct. 8.—That the British government contemplates some new and effective steps to counteract Ger- qman raids on England is borne out in speeches made by Major Gen. Sir Francis Lloyd director of the defense of London, and Dr. Christopher Addi- son, former minister of munitions at a meeting in the London district yester- day called to discuss the recent raids. Dr. Addison remarked that the Ger- mans had got the start of humanity in their different forms of ruthless- ness, such as sinking unarmed ships with submarines and bombing open towns, but, he added: “I can tell you this: That we have got the mastery of the submarine menace and I am perfectly confident that before long we shall achieve just as great a supremacy in the air, ‘whether over this country or over their own.” ¥ Dr. Addison asked the country to have patience while the military au- thorities were working out a scheme for stopping the raids. Gen. Lloyd also referred to the im- provement in the defenses and de- clared that if this gunfire was lacking the first class machines the Germans now possess would come loaded with bombs and drop them where they liked. Regarding the question of re- prisals he said this did not concern him as a military man who only acts under orders, but added: “If you desire reprisals you must let the authorities know and I shall be glad to convey your intentions to the proper quarters.’” A crowd of poor people in the southwest district of London yester- day appealed to Premier Lloyd George says the Daily Mail, for reprisals against Germany for the air raids on London. The premler shouted to the crowd: “We will give it all back to them and we will give it to them soon. We shall bomb Germany with compound interest.” The crowd cheered the promise of the premier wildly, The premier had just completed a tour of the area damaged in the ralds with Viscount French, commander of the home forces. .

SIX,CENT FARE NOT POPULAR WITH ANY Even thc Conductors Are Grumbling Because of Losing Money By the New Rate. Dridgeport, Oct. 3.—The six cent fare and pay-as-you-enter cars do not make a successful working combina- tion, in the opinion of many trolley conductors here after a trial of two days. The six cent trolley fare was put into force by .the Connecticut company Monday morning in spite of a distinct prejudice. on the part of ,qu public. Many schemes have been opesad beat it. Jitneys are carryifig big londs and many are walking to \hu\\‘ thei opposition to the incres The pay-as-yvou-enter be the vulnerable point for H\ se that want to ‘“‘beat the compan The conductors are busier than ever, espe- clally at transfer point, making change for the extra penny needed. They are unable to determine whether six, five or four pennies rattle down through the channels of the fare box as per- sons pay their fares in copvers. There are two registers, however, in these cars——one worked by hand show- ing the number of fares, the other in the box automatically recording the amount of the coins as theyv come through. These registers should bal- ance, but rhe conductors say they have not this week. One conductor said he was $3 short Monday; another said he had to make | good more than that amount yester- day. Several have thrown up their jobs, as it is the conductor, not the company, that loses when a passer:ger drops short change. There is ialk among the men of demanding that the hand registers be discarded and that the comvany bear the profit or loss resulting from errors by passengers by accepting the count of the automa- tic register for what money is taken. m to DEFEATED SUBMARINE.

AMERICAN DESTROYER WAS IN COLLISION| But the Crew Was Taken Off and Boat Towed Safely Into Port. Washington, Oct. 3.—An American destroyer in British waters recently was in collision with a British naval vessel which, after taking off the American crew, towed the disabled destroyer safely to port. In an- nouncing the collision today the navy department said no one was injured aboard the American destroyer and that the vessel since has been repaired and restored to active duty. An official inquiry developed that the collision was unavoidable, the ves- sels having come together during a heavy rainstorm. No blame was placed on either the American or the British vessel, The following official statement was issued: “An American destroyer, operating European waters was severely aged in a night collision with a British naval vessel. After the ac- cident the British ship stood by, took off a part of the destroyer’s crew and towed her into port. No one aboard either ship was injured and the de- stroyer has since been repaired and returned to active service.” An Investigating board of naval of- ficers Iound Jhat the accident was due to thefact that the destroyer sudden- ly emerged from a heavy rainstorm: which made her invisible almost up to the manient ' of the collision.

A gathering for organization of this Di Vanzo and Dugon Try to Escape No at Wethersfield * fg Murdering Raffae Simonelii. STATE COMPLETES movement has been called by state | food commissioner Robert Scoville of Salisbury, for the house chamber in the capitol tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 when R. G. Hollington of Provi- dence, of the federal food administra- tion corps of experts will make the chief address. He is in charge of or- ganization. Mr. Scoville and former Senator G. M. Landers of New Brit- ain, chairman of the state food sup- ply committee of the council of de- fense, will also speak. Connecticut is asked to pledge about twice the num- ber of its population as shown by the last census in order that everyone now in the state may be embraced. In a notice which the council has, Herbert C. Hoover, the national fooa administrator, has pointed out that Connecticut has been from two weeks to a month ahead of all other states in taking steps towards defense and conservation, and the state is ex- pected to lead off on the detailed organization of food conservation. The point is emphasized that the more people who sign pledge cards now to follow the regulations of the food supbply committee the less need there be for imperative orders to this end next year should there be a scarcity of food. Each person pledg- ing himself or herself to conserve food will be expected to do so in ro0od falth and to keep the faith. The organization work it is stated, will in a measure go over the same ground as the work of last year when pledges were sent. by housewives to Washington direct. Fully 10,000 per- sons so pledged themselves but the flood was so great at Washington that acknowledgements could not be made and confusion reigned. Prac- tically the entire list ot 10,000 is now in Mr. Scoville’s hands as a nucleus for the pew organization. The meeting “tomorrow will be opened to the genetal public and es- pecially to committees of local bodies which have been aiding in the gen- cral movement looking to food con- tion. MADE NO PROPOSALS : FOR PEACE TERMS Germany Makes Strong Denials That Any Offer of Separate Peace ‘Was Made, Amsterdam, Oct. 3.—Germany has made no proposals whatever for a sep- arate peace either to France or Great Britain. Dr. von Kuehlmann, German foreign secretary, makes this announcement, according to an official statement received here from Berlin, in answering the speech made by Gen.

Verkhovsky, asserted at the Petrograd democratic congress that the imperiai chancellor (Dr. Michaelis) had stated among other things at Stuttgart that | Germany was ready to return Alsace- | Lorraine to France. The imperial chancellor’s utterances at Stuttgart are generally known and the assertion of the Russian war minister is an in- vention. “‘General Verkhovsky further stated that it was Germany’s intention to make a separate peace with Great Britain and France at the cost of Rus- sia and that Great Britain and France had informed the Russian government that they would not be parties to any such proposal. “I herewith state that Germany has made no proposals whatever for a separate peace either to France or Great Britain.” Last month reports were circulated in Russia that France and Great saw Wakelin at work | Britain had received offers from Ger- many to make peace at the expense They became so insistent that the Russian government obtained from France and Great Britain formal denials that they would make peace with Germany to the detriment of Russia.
