NEW BRITAIN DAILY U SEES OPPOSITION TOWARIN'U. 3. A Prol. Deissmann Beliéves Country Is Still Divided ttee on Public In- formation is being supplied reg- ularly with copies of important newspapers published in Ger- many and Austria-Hungary. It is possible, therefore, for the committee to furnish to the newspapers of the country trans- jations of selected stories from these newspapers which are in- teresting as revealing political, industrial, and living conditions in the Central Empire A recent number of the Deutsche Folitik, contains an Prof. Deissmann on “The var manifesto of the American ¢hurches,” in which he comment: pon the length of time it has taken fhie “Iederal Council of the Churches | of Christ in America” to issue a state- ment concerning the war. In the period immediately before the break- oif of diplomatic relations be- twoen the United States and Germany ihe vast malority of the churches, ac- cording to Dr. Deissmann, were far cager for world peace than for - America entangled in the war. about 70 churchmen signed Berlin weekly, article by in religious circles toward the end of 1916 and the beginning of 1917, whereas 700 of the most emi- | nent leaders of Christianity (bishops, professors, newspaper editors, heads of the big religious and social organi- zations and prominent laymen) took part in a sort of counter manifesto jnclining toward peace. Not until more than four weeks after Wilson's declaration of war did the federal council raise its voiee.” Dr, Deissman alleges that spread opposition not on particular war, but to w in gen- eral, exists in America. He empha~ siges the carious contradiction to be found in the fact that the manifesto, which ardently champions freedom of conscience approves of a war “whose purpose it is forcibly and with blood- Shed to rob a nation of 70,000,000 people of politicai freedom of con- sclence and the independent and peaceable development of its own form of government. Will not the enlightened leaders of the federal gounci] soon themselves see the ab- surdity of disguising tyrannical and autocratic catchword in a democratic form?" Still he finds a wide. to this that the manifesto, taken as a whole, does not make an unfavorable . impression. It shows ! that American churchmen have learned during the course of the war much which was hidden from Euro- pean Christians at its beginning and | .which is still hidden from them in} part. In conclusion he emphasizes the fact that although the declaration | of the Federal Council contains “typ- jeally Anglo-Saxon opinions which Germans must repudiate it emanates after all from persons who show a conciliatory tendency, and that if Germans will read it without passion " it will only serve to strengthen their own inmer conviction: The Japanesc Mission to Washington. The Hamburger Nachrichten (Sept. 28), writing with reference to the Japanese mission to Washington, says that with the fall of the Russian au- « tocracy the agreements between Im- | perial Russia and Japan have become ; waste paper. Instead of the coloniza- | tion of East Siberia, with all of its at- tendant advantages, it soon became lear that one of the first acts of revo- lutionary Russia was to give trouble | to Japan in the east by making great | concessions to America in Sakha\m‘ and Siberia, thereby making them the rivals of Japan. The great American ) capitalists find in Asia a more favor- able sphere in which to exert their | influence than in Europe. Only the zigantic war expenses of France and Great Britain have turned the atten- tion of these powers to the American money market, and the future will show on which side the political ad- vantage lies In China it is different. THE SKIN “‘My face and neck were covered with small water blisters. The skin was very sore apd inflamed, and later a crust formed on my face and neck. The itching and burning were 8o in- tense that I scratched and I could not sleep. The breaking out later devel- oped into large sore eruptions, and my face was sodisfigured for thetime being that I could only see the members of my family. “I used —— Balm, and —— Salve, but without success. The trouble lasted five weeks before using Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I got telief in about a week, and I used two cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment when I was healed.” (Signed) Mrs. F. H. Corson, Box 12, Lochmere, N.

Terauch! ministry owes its succe in China, as in Imperial Russia, in the first piace, to its system of bribery. Tn spite of its delivery of munitions and its improved trade during the war, Japan is still a poor country compared to the Upited States. Amer- ican capitalism is well aware of this, and has weakened Japan's influence in China by Japan's own methods, b cause it overbids Japan on all occa- sions, and at present is not called upon to sacrifice any military power. , The Japanese press has silenced its belli- cose uttera s against the United States. It is suddenly discovered that Japan and the United States can be very good friends. Yet both sides know that there are political differ- ences which must be settled sooner or later. The waning fortunes of the entente and the breakdown of Japan's imperialistic and Wilson’s democratic plans demand this strange co-opera- tion as a last resource. It is a strange spectacle that Japan has now to rely on help from the United States to enable her to carry out her new ship- building program, which was nally directed against the United States. Japan has the necessary money, indeed, but has become de- pendent on the United States for iron and steel, since Great Britain has been totally winged. The Terauchi ministry has completely changed its policy and made a pact with its for- mer opponents whereby America is to supply steel for the new ships, in return for which Japan undertakes to expedite shipbuilding to replace ton- nage lost in the course of the war. Pro ion of the New Clothing Order. The Vienna Zeit of September 25 says that the expected introduction of clothing cards in Vienna is now an The new card is actually called a ‘“supply voucher,” but the object is the same without an official voucher no article of clothing This includes under- clothing and spun and woven goods. “The aim of the clothing order is to provide for the urgent needs of the poorest classes. With this object, clothing supplies are to be regulated for all classes ,in order to insure sup- plies of ‘people’s clothing’ so far as this can be done with regard to other necessities, especially the needs of the army, “As long ago as the beginning of the year the cotton and wool centrals arranged for the classification of all procurable supplies of clothing. Both centrals were instructed to have new goods made up for popular use ,ac- | cording to the available quantities of raw material. These articles, together with the old clothes collected at the depots established by the Crown- land authorities, will form the basis of the ‘people’s clothing’ supplies, which can only be obtained on production of the supply voucher.” The Ice Supply of Vienna. Die Zeit of September 30 says that the president of the united ice fac- tories of the Vienna provision trade has decided to address to customers a circular stating that the delivery of ice in bulk must be entirely stopped, and the supply to retailers limited as much as possible. “This is in consequence of the re- cent requisition of horses for war purposes and the withdrawal of many workpeople, and also of the seriou weakening of the remaining horses by lack of food and the necessary slaugh- ter of many of them in consequence. ' The power wagons can not be used by reason of the insufficient supply of benzine. “This restriction of the ice supply | The will have serious consequences. greater number of consumers have no means of fetching their own supplies, | and even the war haspitals and simi- lar institutions will be without ice un- less they find means to fetch it them- selves, “Next summer's ice appears to be seriously supply threatened The machinery of the factories is for the most part out of working order owing to delays and lack of necessary aught to be repaired during the winter, but all ne- repairs; the Temainder cessary materials are lacking. Tt will, therefore, be hardly working materials and facilities cartage.” The Status of Cakes. The Berlin Lokal-Anzeiger (Sept 5) states that hotels, cafes and other origl- | also possible to pro- duce the necessary ice supplies if the authorities do not take steps to supply for establishments which do not make cakes make no prafit when selling cakes under the present regulations. which prohibit an increase on the manufacturer's price. “In consideration of the expenses incurred the communes attached to the Bread Card union have resolved to allow non-makers of cakes, when sell- ing cake to be consumed an the prem- E in addition to beverages, to make an addition of one-third of the price paid for cake when sold across the counter. The fact must, however, be announced by notic in their tab- lishments, This does nat apply to makers, who will continue to sell their cake at the same price, even with ac- | companying beverages.” THAT INCOME TAX. zll('rr' He Comes—The Man With the Hand Out. Jan. 19.—The coming—"“See Him" is the Con- Defense, internal Hartford, Income Tax Man the notice given today by necticut State { which is co-operating with revenue collector for early returns on the Federal Income Tax at the re- quest of the Council of National De- fense. . 1 Failure to report to the internal | revenue collector is punishable by fine of from $20 to $1,000 and im- prisonment. Unmarried persons, not the head of families, who made $1,000 or more last year, and married persons, living with wife or husband, who made $2,- 7000 or more last year, are required to pay an income tax. Income tax returns must be made out on forms furnished by the gov- ernment. Because a good many peo- ple who must pay an income tax do not understand the law and therefore will not know how to make out the returns, the government is sending experts to every county to show them how to do it. Those who are not sure whether they ave subject to the tax are ad- ‘vised to ask about it and make sure. The smaller the amount the gov- ernment raises by taxation the larger the amount that will have to be ’raised in bond issues, so evervone is urzed to do his or her patriotic duty and turn in an income tax sheet with- ‘out delay. The government does not have to find the man or woman who must pay the tax. The new lJaw makes the per- son who should pay the tax liable to fine or imprisonment for failure to voluntarily make a return to the gov- ernment, Council of ! HURLEY ORDERS SPEED. Visits Shipyard and Finds Work Prac- ! tically at Standstill. York, Jan. 19.—Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the United States shipping board, and Charles ! general manager of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, yesterday visited three of the Newark shipbuilding plants to find out what effect the order of Fuel Administrator Garfield would have in the supply of steel there and also to try to aid the super- intendents of one of the yards in de- | vising plans for getting 1,000 more cars of materials that have delayed the work on one of the ships since the keel was laid a month ago. A few minutes after Mr. Hurley had gone into the yard of the Submarine 3oat Corporation, where the keel of the first standarized steel ship was laid on Dec. 20, he interrupted his in- | spection of the yards to send a tele- gram to William G. McAdoo, direc- tor general of the railroads, asking him to redouble his efforts to get the 1,000 cars of steel parts from the con- gested railroads. The text of the | telesram was not given out, but it was learned that Mr. Hurley was merely emphasizing the request for speedy delivery that had been made repeatedly by the officials of the Sub- marine Corporation and by members of the shipping board. Of the 1,000 cars of steel tied mp on railroads, some of them under orders for shipment before any other kind of freight except fuel and food, New Piez, roads since November, more than a month before the keel of the first ship was laid. No additional work on the ship can be done until the steel is received by the yards, and about 8,000 workers in the yards may be laid off when other work has been » | completed. a large number have been on the rail- | GERMANY’S BIRTH RATE DECREASING In Dusseldoirifi District Aloxe, Drops From 100,000 to 60,000 The committee on public infor mation is being supplied regu- larly now with copies of impor- tant newspapers published in Germany and Austria-Hungary. It is possible, therefore, for the committee to furnish to the newspapers of the country trans lations of selected stories from these newspapers, which are in- teresting political industrial, 4nd living conditions in the Central empires. The Vossische Zeitung (Sept. reports a meeting of the G ciety for Children’s the room of the children’'s clinic of Leipzig university, at which Prof. Schlo: children’s di: rman so- Therapeutics in lecture mann gave a lecture on ises and the war. He mentioned the decrease in birth rate and said that, for instance, in the Dusseldort district the num- ber of births had decreased from 100,- 000 in 1914 to 60,000 in 1916. Also in the Rhine province a great decline had to be reckoned with. It is re- ported from all parts of Germany that the newborn children are in ver good condition in spite of the food rations available for the moth- ers. The mortality of infants is re- latively and absolutely favorable, a consequence of the imperial grants to nursing mothers which have encour- aged the natural feeding of infants and, further, of the reduction overfeeding of inants, which cause of so many deaths in peace time. Rickets and eczema have near- ly disappeared, and there are cases of parasitic skin diseases and of congential syphilis. The reports of medical men examining school re- cruits are favorable, but after the tenth year of age a reduction in the increase in weight is noticed. tious diseases have not increased in consequence of the prolonged war, nor have they assumed a malicious characte Many infections caused by newly founded creches children’s homes, which were not fur nished or managed in a bygienic manner.

The Correspondenzblatt der Gener- alkomission der Gewerkschaften Deutschlands of September 1 says: “The nervous affection among sol- diers, which causes a constant trem- bling of the whole or part of the hody seems much worse to the onlookers than to the actual sufferers, and on this account has often made it very difficult for the latter to obtain em- ployment, especially as the malady was supposed to be incurable. As early as a year ago, however, Sanit rat Dr. Ernst Beyer. chief of the nerve hospital at Roderbirken, near Leichlingen, declared that this trembling could be cured. The re- sults obtained at the ti were not very satisfactory, hut meanwhile it hag been found possible to remove trembling and other nervous twitch- ings with a rapidity and a certainty formerly considered impossible. T Bever reported 1 that dred of those affected had been cured of inelr trouble—ov 300 so far in the ynstitution conducted by him, where the new process ha been in use siw-e November 17, 1916. “By the app=ation of a gentle elec- tric current, WHYGR causes no pain, or, even apart from $Rat, by the exercise, according to cerfain of the muscles affeeted, good results have often been obtaised in a few G instructions physician | | matter of fixing maximum an ) much greater than for the relax from their warlike vigila they hold dances and play game: their camp.
