At the close of the 1 year 1918 there were 882 prison- in all the jails as against 1,375 at end of the previous year. For ly 15 years the number has not n so small. By counties may le as follows on September 30: tford, 218; New Haven, 292; Falr- 196; Middles: Litchfleld, New London, Windham, 51; and, 8. jhe number was 12,387 as against s of commitments for 5,428 for jhe average cost port of prisoner: t be com- d at present as figures for the b in Middlesex and Windham have vet been given to the secretary. téports from the other counties v the average weekly cost to be, tford, $2.74; New Haven, $4.94; eld, $5.26; Tolland $1.29; New $2.29; Norwich, and r week for the cretary Kellogg attribuies the fall- og in the number of jail prison he state to the fact that work was | tiful during the year 1918 and wages were high.

B. H. 8. team will be brought to a close tomorrow eveniag in the high school gymnasium when the members of the team will be the guests of the school in/a reception tendered in their honor. Sixteen members of the team will be given the school’s monogram in recognition of their work on the CAPTAIN-ELECT CRANE. ond string team will be given second team letters. Sweaters will be pre- sented the sixteen members of the first team. Those who are to be giv- en the first team letters and sweaters are: Howard Crane, captain-elect, Dunnigan, Faulkner, Griffin, Rene- han, Brink, Keefe, Elliott, Tomlin, Doerr, Wallin, Burns, Swift, Welis and Vibberts. The team has completed a fairly successful season, and although de- feated by Hartford for the first time in a number of years, the team staged a “come-back” by an easy win over New Haven, which in part vindicated them for that defeat. The only oth- er defeat of the season was at the hands of Loomis institute, a team considered by Hartford and New Ha- ven, the two other members of the triangular league, as too difficult an opponent for a high school team. Much credit for the excellent work against both Loomis and New Haven is due to Captain Vibberts. Crane Elected Captain. Howard Crane, end on this year's team, has been honored with the captaincy for next year. Crane play- ed a steady game during the 1918 season, and although he was unable to take part in the New Haven game because of illness, his work in other games earned the captaincy for him. This is his second year on the team but because of lack of weight, he was unable to take part in any of the big games last year. Crane's election to the captaincy of the team 1s perhaps the first instance of the election of a captain other than a New Britain boy. Crane’'s home is in Berlin. He will probably try for the back field on next vear's team. The program for tomorrow evening follow. 1918, ex-Captain Charles Vibbert “191 Captain-elect How- ard Crane; ‘“The Team,” Coach Pher- sick; presentation of sweaters and emblems, Principal L. P.

WOULD BLACKLIST MANY BALL PLAYERS American League Favors Drastic Ac- tion Against Men Who Left ¥or Shipyards’ Teams. 12.—The status of who deserted their | to join teams in| will be one of the settlement at the | of the club owners of the American league here toda These players, it was said, will be barred from playing in the league. The length of the 1919 season, the opening date and the player limit for h team are other questions to be | considered, as well as the personnel of the national baseball commission. The schedule question, however, probably will have to be settled at a joint conference of the two major | leagues. The club owners apparently favor the “spring training trip as usual” despite the reports that the National Chicago, Dec. =ball players ‘lubs last on shipyard leagues up for meeting se problems annual | every aay, MANY OPENINGS FOR | RETURNED SOLDIERS' U. S. Employment Bureau Thinks Local Factories Will Have Work The cossation of hostilities hes brought to the minds of many people the question of the employment of the men who are returning from France, The question is answered in the fol- lowing way. The United States Eme ployment Service has been asked by the government to report each week on labor conditions in each district. The office of the service in New Brit- ain will send a weekly report of the number of men employed in the dis. trict which® embrace New Britain, Berlin, Plainville, Bristol and South- ington. Labor conditions in New Briain may be summed up in a very few words. There are not enough people for the | jobs that are open and it is the | general opinion that there will be | plenty of work for everybody even after the soldiers return from the army camps and from overseas. In this city, several of the industrial plants have already signified their in- tention of restoring former employes to their jobs, after being honorably discharged from the service. Among them are Landers, Frary & Clark and the Stanley Works, two of the largest factories in the city. Henry 8. Tallard of the U. 8. Em- ployment Service office in this city emphasizes the fact that the greatest need is for unskilled labor and for women to work in the factories. Many of the latter can be used in the fac- tories and many are going to work but the number who are taking the jobs is not in proportion to the need. The change from war time industry to peace time work will exert a great | influence on the rapidity with which the soldiers will be discharged from army camps. As the change is made from the manufacture of munitions to the making of peace time products, the soldiers will be sent home to take the jobs as they become vacant. CITY ITEMS. New Britain Nat.

He was formerly stationed at Camp Devens. UBLIC SCHOOL IS POWERFUL FACTOR Americanization Expert Declares | Schools Can Do Majority of the Work Necessary. Hartford, Dec, 12.—"In American- ization plans for local communities the public school is the greatest thing,” declared Dr. William C. Smith, direc- tor of the Americanization for New York State. Council of Defense, and supervisor of immigrant education for | the New York state department of | education, at the state capitol here to- | day. Dr. Smith addressed the third session of the Americaniation con- ference conducted under the auspices of the department of Americanization, Connecticut State Council of Defense. “The public school can do from 60 to per: cent. of the work of Americanization,” Dr. Smith con- tinued, “but it must open its doors and go outside itself.” Other organizations which could help in community Ausgricanization wcere local divisions of state defense councils, woman's organizations, the | Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A, the Poy Scouts, Girl Scouts, chambers of commerce and school superintsndents’ | associations, said Dr. Smith. | While our foreign born population was a menace when unlettered and untsught the war has shown that the loyalty.of the foreign born on the leaguers were inclined to curtail or lomit them entirely, firing line was unquestioned, Dr. Smith said.

DRESS WARMER AND SAVE MORE COAL Health Authority Criticizes Fair Sex For Disregarding Protective Gar- ments in Cold Weather. Chicago, Dec. 12.—*It ig our patri- otic duty to put on more clothes, save coal and improve health,” was the substance of an address before the Public Health Administration section of the American Public Health Asso- ciation today by Dr. Jeanette F. Throckmorton of Claritan, Iowa. “There are-fashions not only in dress, but in trend of thought and morals,” Dr. Throckmorton con- tinued. “The impulse which moved our primitive ancestors to adopt dress were, first, vanity, next protection and lastly modesty. Of these, that of protection seems niost often disre- garded by the gentler s The cus- tom of wearing summer clothing in winter is a pernicious one, and the continual chilling of the skin causes congestion of the internal organs with attendent ills. ‘Erect carriage and portant qualities and by the style of corset and worn. “Dress and morals are intimately aseociated and modesty in dress ap- pears in demand but little at present. Our adolescent daughters often use poor judgment not only in dress but in conduct. CHINESE GOVT. MEN ARE CALLED HOME gait are im- are influenced shoes Have Been Supervising $2,000,000 Contract at Pratt and Whitney Co., in Hartford. Hartford, Dec. 12.—Lie Ning Liu, Shuh Jee Liu and Shuh Woo Liu, who have been at the Pratt and Whitney Co. plant the last four years as repre- sentatives of the Chinese government left the city today on their return trip to their native land. They will em- bark at San Francisco December 28. These young men are cousins and they left their home in Sze Chuen, China, twelve years ago. They studied in a technical college at Okayama, Japan, for seven years and were graduated in 1914. They were then sent by the Chinese government to the Pratt and Whitney Co. factory in Hartford. The latter has a $2,000,000 con- tract in hand for the Chinese gov- ernment. The three Chinese were recalled by a cablegram from Gen. T. E. Liu, of the Chineso war department. ACCOUNTANTS WANTED. The government has issued an emergency call for senior and junior cost accountants and requests that ap- plications for at least 25 men so qua ified be forwarded. Applicants must have reached their 23d but not their 50th birthday. Information as to edu- cation and experience required for ap- plicants may be secured at the New Britain office of the United States Fm- ployment Service situated in the LeWitt block at the corner of Main and Elm streets.

'That would stultify everything America did in this war. It would really be an in- sult to the United States to nuggest that ahe would in future advocate &ny course in & war such as this in- consistent with what she did in thiy war, and that waas the complete block- ade of an offending nation. If this bo 80, we come to this, that probably what is in Prosident Wilson's mind is that freedom of the sems should be secured to any nation observing the covenants of & leaguo of natlons and should be dented to any nation break- ing those covenants. If that is mo, then a league of nations is the solu- tlon to the whole question and cannot be discussed apart from it. League of Nations. “On these grounds, I belisve there may be complete agreement between the two countries only if a league of nations is formed. I do not see why this country should not accept the formula that if a league of nations is formed there is to be complete free- dom of the seas so long as the cove« nants of the league are observed, but if the covenants are broken then there is to be no freedom of the seas and every means are to be uSed against the power which has broken them."” Protests Against Servile House. Viscount Grey protested against the election of a servile house of com- mons, saying that in such case there would be a drift toward dictatorship or Bolshevism. While giving credit to the present government, he said the people must be fair to the men who preceded the present cabinet in office and who made ultimate success pos- sible. He praised Viscount Haldane, former lord high chancellor; Viscount ‘Milner, secretary of state for war; Col. Winston Spencer Churchill minis- ter of munitions; TLord Kitchener, Premier Lloyd George and Walter Runckman, former financial secretary to the treasury and liberal member of praliament for Dewsbury. Viscount Grey said that even the success of these men had achieved would have been impossible without the support of former Premier Asquith. U. S.-British Jealousy Fatal. Speaking on relations after the war between Great Britain and the United States Viscount Grey said: “If there is competition in naval shipbuilding between Great Britain and America it will be fatal to good relations. What is desirable in our naval policy is not domination or supremacy, but security. I do not be- leve a conflict between America and Great Britain posible. We must not be jealous of any shipbuilding on the part of the United States.” STATE C. E. UNION IS MEETING TODAY Blennlal Session Held in Hartford At Emmanuel Congregational Church —Reports Discouraging. Hartford, Dec. 12,—The biennial convention of the Connecticut Chris- tian Endeavor Union is being held to- day at the Emmanuel Congregational church. The Rev. Dr. Charles F. Car- ter, pastor of the church, welcomed the delzgates and T. T. Phillips, act- ing state president, responded. Reports from depanrtment superin- tendents and officers, more or less in- formal, gave the general impression that unless the work of Christian En- deavor was entered into with more enthusiasm the society would suffer disintegration. Dr. William Sly who is in army and navy Y. M. C. A. work empha- slzed the necessily for team work. He declaped there was a dearth of min- isters in this country and enlarged upon the urgent need for.missionar- ies. The Rev. Dr. Francis E.

Ta this bureau alone fell the task of ex- pending during a single year more than half a billion dollars for guns and equipment. In discussing seemingly impossible problems Admiral Ear] disclosed that the navy was called upon not only to | arm all American war craft, auxiliar- ies and the merchant fleet, but to pro- vide armament for British, French, Italian, Belgian and Russlan shipping. Gune of 3 to 6 inch caliber were at a premium and the demand for them was ten times greater than the exist- ing capacity for manufacture, A to- tal of 937 craft of all kinds. rot in the regular navy, were armed between July 1, 1917 and July 1, 1918. Gun mounts formed a separate knotty problem.

This latter a¢hievement, never attained by the allied armies, the re- port said, was hailed in France with satisfaction than was the arrival of the first of the 14-inch monsters comprising the naval bat- teries.
