NEUVE cHAPELLE COST
 EQUAL TO BOER WAR

LONON.-During the battle of Neuve Chapelle in the month of March as much ammunition was ex. pended as was used during the en- tire Boer war, according to a state ment made in the House of Com mons recently by Chancellor of the Exchequer David-Lloyd George.
 The Boer war lasted for two years and nine months.
 WASHINGTON.-An army officer of high rank and an expert artillery. man, discussing the comment made by David Lloyd-George, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the amount of ammunition expended by the British artillery during the Neuve Chapelle battle, said:
 The character of the fighting is such that there is but one way to gain an advantage, and that is to gain slight percentage of hits over the other side in a steady artillery fight.
 "As matter of fact there are but two shots out of every hundred that can be called hits. The side that can make it three hits out of a hundred is likely to win the battle. The guns used at Neuve Chapelle could dispose of 1000 rounds a day, and the whole line in that particular fight would use not less than 100000 rounds day.

French Report Gains.

PARIS, May 1O-The French troops have made considerable gains in the Nieuport, Arras and Champagne dis tricts. The fighting has been con- stant and desperate and the losses inflicted on both sides have been heavy. The French have advanced all along the line and now occupy the German trenches.
 Germans Successful In Ypres District
 While the British have succeeded in regaining control of Hill 60 the Germans are making some gains in the Ypres region and the British are throwing more reserves into the fight in an effort to check the enemy.

"The larger problem is the ques. tion of which combatant has the greater and more enduring resources for producing and keeping up this use of ammunition.
 Germany in this respect has vast resources within her own domain. Before the war she made ammunition for the world. She furnished it to both sides during the war between Japan and Russia. Germany does not care rap for our ammunition, as she has all she wants and can pro- duce what she will need indefinitely. In this respects it is practically a match between Germany and the Al lies, plus this country.
 "The Allies are now trying to cor. ner all the high explosives in the world outside of Germany. They are willing to buy all the world can pro- duce in ten years to come. And they are paying nearly five times the price for both the finished product and for the raw material. There can be no waste of ammunition. Economy, if such thing can be conceivable, in the matter of ammunition, would pro- long the war and increase manyfold the loss of life."

Laid Out-RemodeIing Of Clubhouse.

A nine-hole golf course, two tennis
courts and other grounds for sports of
other kinds are planned, to be laid
out st the newly acquired property of
the Putnam Country club, south of the
city.

been done this week, but probably by
the latter part Of next week work will
begin in earnest.
The officials Of the club are very
much encouraged over the enthusiams
that has been shown for the new or
ganizatfon and Of the financial support
that has already been pledged and is
in prospect. Inquiries are coming in
from other towns about the club and
there is evidence to indicate that many
members not residents of Putnam may
be secured.
The Sidney Heath house, which is
on the property, is to be remodeEed
and fitted up SO as to furnish the re-
quired conveniences or the members.
When the work on this will be taken
up has not been definitely decided. it
was said by one of the officials OF
the organization on Friday after
noon, but this will be done as prompt
ly as possible.
Not a great length of time will be
required to put the golf course in
shape for use and a fine season OF
sport is in prospect for the more than
100 members who have already Joined
and the others who will do so.

The house of Charles L. Corey in
Pomfret was burned to the ground on
Friday afternoon. Aid was asked fol
from this city as soon as the fire
broke out and the automobile truck
with a number of firemen aboard, was
rushed over into the nearby town
making fast trip.
The, Sabin house near the Corey
place caught af1re, but this blaze was
quickly extinguished. How the fire
at the Corey place started was some
thing Of mystery Friday. There was
no one at home and no fire in the
house. One theory was that a spark
blown from where brush was beine
burned fell on the roof end started the
blaze.
The first report received here was
that three houses were burning and
as a result considerable excitement
was stirred up. A number of Putnam
people rushed over to Pomfret in au-
tomobiles- and large number gathered
at the fire from various parts of Pom
fret. An efficient bucket brigade
did work fast, the fire, which caused
a loss estimated at about $4,000. partly
covered by insurance.
The local fremen returned here with
the truck soon after four o'clock, hav-
ing been away little more than ar
hour.
Dead To the WorId-But Came To.
Miracles never cease. In the towr
of Thompson in these twentieth GEN.
fury days the dead return to life, al
least some of the. dead, or near-dea6
do. Late Thursday night an automo.
bile truck owned in this city and bound
here with load Of furniture was bowl
ing along the highway not far from
West Thompson when the driver of the
machine noticed what appeared to be
a blanket lying in the road.
Investigation proved that the OBJ
Ject was a man and indications were
that he had met Death by being STRUCK
by an automobile and dragged for e
considerable distance. The body was
cold and almost rigid and the Put
nam men were satisfied that it was
time to call the medical examiner anc
undertaken. e-
Accordingly they went to the home
of DIN Nichols and sent a telephone
message to Deputy Sheriff w. N
Bates, who is also an undertaken, ap.
prising him of the fact thaat. there wa:
a, dead man beside the highway.
Mr.. Bates secured the medical ex.
| aminer and they journeyed to the place
, indicated. 1t did not take long fol
them to determine. that the dead maj
would rise again-and before the day
of judgment, for his death was the
the death that results from too clos,
relationship with Old King Booze. TIL,
man was dead drunk, so his name will
| not appear in the list of sudden death!
