London, Nov. 26.——(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)—One of the treasured possessions of the Brit- ish Admiralty is a German drawing showing a U-boat in the Thames be- fore London with the famous in- scription “Es Kommt ein Tag” (There comes a day). It was obtained by & | , member of the Admiralty Intelligence | from a source and by a method which British naval officers are still keeping secret.

New Haven, Jan. l.—Mayor Fitz- Gerald’s efforts for tho past few days to ease the labor situatioa have tailed. They serve, however, to throw some light on the situation as shown by the copies of the telegraphic correspond- ence with Washington given out from the mayor's office. It pears that the instructions given contra tors throughout the state were calcu- lated to allow, in general, of a taper- ing off of work over a period, to ap- proximately April 1 next, provided the contractors followd the instructions given them on November 12 to discon- tinue the night shift by a graduated discharge of employes. Benedict Crowell, assistant secre- tary of war, says that had there been a general compliance with these in- structions a large number of di charges which occurred during the past week would have been spread over the period between November 12 and the present. To avoid a recur- rence of that situatton, Mr. Bryant, the district ordnance chief at Bridge- | port, has been instructed to secure | from the contractors their plans for tapering off the remainder of the work allowed them under the sus- pension notices ag issued, and to ap- | prove these plans, if in his judgment they are sufficient. He has no thority however, to allow increases in the 'amount of work that is to be performed.
