It 1= a question if women doing men's work deserve particular sympathy, for it is doubtful if there is any work that is herder than every-day house work. Overwork tells on the kia neys, and when the kidneys are affect- €d one looks and feels older than the actiial years. Mrs. A. G. Wells, R. R. 5, Rociy Mount, N.

Tibl Represented Nor- wich Security Holders. A meeting of the reorganization co: mittee of the American Real Bstate company was held at Hartford Fri- day. There are fuite a number of Lolders of these securities in Norwich end vicinity. Henry W. 'Pibbits at- tended the Hartford meeting, Tepre- senting a number of Norwich invest- crs F. S. Bangs of New York, counsel for the committee, addressed the meet- ing and explained the progress mad to straighten out the tangled affairs of the big real estate concern which failed about a vear ago. Lawrence McGuire, president of the real estate board of New York and chairman of the_committee, was also present. Mr. Bangs eaid the reorganization committes did not represent either directly or indirectly the former man- agement of the American Real Bstate company. “The committee has the very seri- ous responsibility of protecting the in- vestment of over 20,000 people, most of whom can ill afford to lose the money which they invested in the American Real Estate company,” he said. “When this concern failed it had outstanding securities and claims amounting to nearly $13,500,000; it had large realty holdings in New York city, particularly along the line of proposed transit development, which it carried on its books at $25,000.000. Against these properties were mortgages and other liens agsregating $10,750,000.” Mr. Bangs said the average holdings of those owning the company’s securi- ties was 3700 and they were widely scattered, some of them being in Eu- rope, which made the labors of the difficul called 6 per cent. bonds of the company were not bonds at all, but were really demand notes payable in 60 days” he declared. “The com- pany failed because large numbers of these bondholders made a sudden de- mand for the redemption of these se- curities and the company had no cash to meat the situation. “When the committee first began to study ‘the plan of reorganization it tried to work it out on a basis of giv- ing to the investors of the company 50 cents on dollar in a new se- curity and it started out to see whether that amount could be realized without calling upon the bondholders to con- tribute anything. The committee very £oon found, however, that it was too optimistic. 'Men who knew real estate values would rot give 15 cents on the dollar for the equities in the property if it were put up at forced sale. The conclusion was _accordingly reached that if the property was to be saved it would be necessary to carry it along until realty conditions were more fa- vorable, and to rely upon the bond- holders' for new funds. They have accordingly been asked to raise some- thing like $2,000,000 for this purpose. Mr. Bangs said about $600,000 of the above sum had already been sub- scribed and the committee's plan of re. organization had . been approved by rolders of bonds, certificates and un- secured claims deposited with the com- mittee amqunting to $9,319,668.15, rep- resenting 55 per cent. of the whole | amount deposited and 69 per cent. of the whole amount of the unsecured in- debtedness of the company. The plan had accordingly been declared to be operative provided the additional gunds were forthcoming. Mr. Bangs - e: pressed th eopinion that if it were necessary to dispose of the property of the company at forced sale there would be practically nothing left for the bondholders. As an indication ot the accuracy of this observation, he cited a sale recently made by the re- ceivers of a largs buildings In New York owned bv- the company. This Property brought about $500,000, which was a loss of nearly $450,000 on its cost, and after deducting about $478,- 000 'for mortgage - indebtedress there was left in net cash, as the actual equity, less than $24000. which was equivalent to 5.6 per cent. of the equity based upon cost. Fined For Not Sending Children to School. ‘ Charles Wilcox, of Burdets Cornors and Lewis Bogue and Willis Tuthill, both of Poquonoe, were before th | town-court of Groton Saturday for not sending their children to school.

Brings/Suit for Possession of Willehad Suit to obtain possession of the North German Lloyd. line steamships Wittekind and Willehad, which were recently seized by the United States government, was instituted in the fed- eral court in Boston last week by Harry S.

MILITARY REGISTRATION. General Outline of the Plan Made Public By the Government. ‘Washington, May 6.—An offictal out- line of the method by which military registration is to be carfed out under the selective conscription bill was made public yesterday, with an appeal from the War Department. for the voluntary services of state election and .other officials in order that there will be no delay in enrolling and class- ifying millions of men for army duty. Careful preparation has been made to place the whole task in the hands of civilian offictals of tirs~states and to remove every suggestion of military force in putting the measure into ef- fect. The only function of the Fed- eral government will be supervision through the office of the Provost Mar- shal general. The department’s state- ent follows: There was a time in the countrs’s history when military _enumerators, backed by bayonéets, went out among the people to take a compulsory ser- vice census. Today under the princl- ple of universal Liability to service the execution of the law is put into the hands of the people. The approval of the new national army bill and the President’s procla- mation thereunder will be coincident. All persons within the age limits pre- scribed will be required to present themselves for rezistration at the customary voting places in the voting precincts in which they have their permanent homes, on a day which the President will announce. The prob- ability is, that from ten to fifteen days will elapse between approval of the bill and registration day. The governor of each state will be the chief of registration therein. The machinery of registration in each county is to be in charge of the sher- iff..the county clerk, and the county physician, acting ex offico, unless a different board shall be announced by the governor. In cities containing pop- ulations of more than 30,000 the reg- istration will be under the control of the mayor and selected hoards of reg- istration. In order that the designated county and city oficlals, and the peo- ple generally, can get a clear under- standing of the census methods the folowing brief outline is given. The sheriffs or other designated of- ficials, immediately upon receiving no- tice from the goverhor, shall appoint registrars for each voting precinct. The Appointment of Registrars. The proportion of registrars shall be one for each 170 persons to be regis- téred. Each age to be registered will comprise about 1 per cent. of the pop. ulatfon. If, for instance, all men between 19 and’ 25 years of age, inclusive, are to be registered, the registrar would have to enroll about 7 per cent of the pre- cinct population. It is desirable to accept the ser- vices of competent volunteer registrars to_serve without tion. Al Tegistrars must be sworn. The voting place in each precinet selves for registration must send 2 competent person to the county or city clerk on the sixth day after the is- suing of the proclamation. The clerk wil give instructions for registration. Colleges, Universities, Homes Etc. Officials of educational, charitable end other institutions should apply for instructions to the county or city clerk on the sixth day after date of the proclamation for instructions as to & convenient method of registration. The wardens of jails, penitentiaries, and reformatories shoud apply to the county or city clerk for instructions on the sixth day. Five days after the date of the President’s _proclamation complete regulations will be in the hands of all sheriffs and of the officials of ci- ties of over 30,000 population. The President is_authorized to call upon all public officers to assist in the execution of the law. The plan is, bowever, to rely on the people for the proper execution-of the law. It is ex- pected that patriotic citizens will offer their services free as registrars. Such services will be gratefully ackmowl- edged. Volunteers for this service should communicate immediately with the proper official. PUTTING GERMAN PEOPLE ON CLOTHES RATIONS Amout of Clath Specified For Making Suits and Dresses.

COUNTRY LIFE FOR TOWN BRED CHILDREN OF PRUSSIA To Relieve Mothers—C Used for Light Fi Berlin, 6. ldren May Be ld Work. The Hague, Netherlands, May 6— The town-bred children of Prussia are o emigrate to the country this sum mer, not in parties but in veritabie armies, if the latest movement, under the patronage of <jerman Empress Augusta-Victoria is successful. Irom the back streets of grim, war-becloud- ed Berlin and other big cities, they are to be transferred for two months to the smiling meadows, farms and vil- jages of the open countryells; from the gnawing want of the swwas to the scoures of Germany’s food Woduction The Prussian ministers of the Inter- jor, of Education and of Agriculture have jointly addressed a proclamation to the population, wherein they de- clare that much greater efforts than last year must be made this summer to accommodate guch children They sum up the advantages which the pub- lic interest derives therefrom. Fathers at the front and mothers at home are 1elieved of a crushing burden of care if they know their children are well cared for, and their own strength ie thereby reinforced. The mothers and sisters of the youngsters get more op- portunity to undertake work in the interests of the fatheriand. The lwge towns are relieved of the care of feed- ing the children, 50 that there is more food for adults, particularly in the in- Gustrial regions. These are some of the benefits enumeérated. A society has been ecstablished at Berlin, under the présidency of _the Burgomaster of Charlottenburg, with branches throughout the country. The Empress is to be its patroness. Lists are being drawn up for perso: who will take one or more children, cither free of charfe or on payment of twelve cents a day, for about six weeks. The chiliren may be used for “light fleid work.

Honolulu, T. H., May 6—War has brought upon Hawaii what is pro- nounced by federal, territorial and business authorities as a segious sit- uation as regards the food suppiy. Fears are openly expressed that in the event of the appearance of a hostile raider in the Pacific, or any other oc- currence that might shut off or curtail irans-Pacific_traffic, the islands would be in a bad way for food, as there is, it is stated, less than a week's supply on_hand. Governor L. E. Pinkham has issued roclamation in which he calls at- tention to the serious food situation that, he says, confronts Hawail and urges land owners and others immedi- ately to increase the resources of the territory. The situation is greatly complicated by the restrictions imposed by the censorship. All use of wireless is pro- hibited by the military and naval au- thorities. This hampers the move- ments of the fleet of steamships which bring produce to Honolulu from the other islands of the group. There is a disposition shown on the part of a certain element of the com- munity to_collect and hoard supplies. Warnings have been issued unofficially by the authorities against this prac- tice, but thus far without evident re- suit. Prices of the most mecessary com- modities. such as flour, rice, potatoes and onions, have advanced greatly. FAREWELL MESSAGE TO GERMANS IN CHINA ely Commented 6n by Both Chinese and Foreign Newspapers. wi Peking, May 6.—Before leaving Pe- king with the German legation staff, the German minister, Admiral von Hintze, issued a farewell message to the Germans in China which has been widely commented upon by both Chi- nese and forelgn newspapers. Admira] von Hintze came to the Ori- ent shortly after the beginning of the war on a Norwegian ship, unheralded and unannounced. After his arrival in Peking, he made himself known to the foreign office and the story of his trip to China became known. He was Ger- man_minister in Mexico previous to assuming the Chinese post. In his fare- well message he said: “May the Almighty God, on whose sltar we place the laurels of sur vie- tories, and from whose bosom we cre- ate new stremgth and perseverance, take all the Germans in China unde: his_protéction.” Baron Maltzen, the councillor of the German legation, his wife, Baroness Maltzen, M. Krebs, Chinese secre- tary of the legation, and his wife and daughters are accompanying the min- ister. Only minor members of the lesation staff are permitted to remain to assist the Duich minister in han- dling German affairs. Constables Replace Policemen. Birmingham, ¥ng.
