R.v.r.Ing Last Autumn. Problem.


In the Treasury statement already re-
ferred 10 etrrlng exchange II described
as having become practically normal" II
Il also stated that the bankers should he
LEFT to deal with the questions OF nterns-
tlonal finance, bu. the Treasury announce
ment Is misleading In one particular and
does not sufficiently emphasize another.
There Is nothing normal about the sterling
exchange market except that rates have
returned to levels Gus omarily regarded as
normal. Also the withdrawal OF our
Treasury Department and the British EN-
cheouer from interference In the field OF
international finance does not mean that
there are no questions 10 be disposed OF.
on the contrary. the foreign exchange
market presents a continuing question TO
whioh banking interests must ma a con-
tinuins answer, the hopeful thing being
that the Government Is going 20 keep hands
on and the difference between normal
foreign exchange and exchange to-day is
proved by the feeling OF bankers that no
matter how much further sterling remit
tance moves In this Country's favor We
will be able TO import little gold during
. the war.
Indeed the fall which Is taking place
In foreign exchange poses new war

abnormally high level which ruled a few

altogether reasonable conjecture Is tina,
just as q solution OF one phase OF the

PLANS OF LYC[UN
PLAYERS INDEFINITE
Miss Emily Galway Probably viii
Appear in Regular Production.

With the exception of those who are
going to spend the summer at their
homes, the plans of the Lyceum
players after the closing performance
tonight at the Russwin Lyceum are
indefinite. Some are hesitating be-
tween work and play.
Miss Emily Galloway is going to her
home in New York for the summer
and expects to get a regular produc-
ton in the fall. Miss Lois Bolton
will go to New York the first part of
next week for a brief stay and then
will go to her ,home in San Francisco
for the summer
The exposition in San Francisco
has attraction for others beside Miss
Bolton. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Cross
are considering a trip to the coast.
although Mr.. Gross feels that a few
attractive offers should be investigated
first and he will leave Monday or
Tuesday for New York. He will re-
turn the latter part of the week and
probably remain in New Britain until
the 18th.
Wyrley Birch will go to New York
to look up an engagement for the
summer and Mrs. Birch will go to
Providence to spend a short time at
her home. .s..r+
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wright will go
to Lyndhurst, N. j., to spend the sum-
mer at his mothers home. 1t is likely
that Mrs. Adelaide Hibbard will join
them there later for short visit.
L.. J. Fuller will remain in New
Britain for about two weeks longer
until arrangements are made for an
other engagement. r..s
Adrian S. Perrin, who has been in
charge Of the chorus at the Lyceunl,
will take the group to Yonkers, where
Forty Five Minutes From Broadway"
will be produced. 80. ~

LlBAu, RUSSIAN CITY,

Another British TTsWlcr Sunk by

Berlin, May s, via London, $3.50 p.
m.--Oficial announcement was made
at the war office today that the city
Of Libau, in the Province Of Cour-
land, Russia, has been captured by
the Germans. Ey 4 IS
3, In the capture Of Libau the Ger
mans have gained one of the main OBJ
jects of their invasion of the Baltic
provinces Of Russia.
The German movement in this quar-
ter was. one Of the surprises of the
spring campaign. Petrograd de-
spatches have made it appear that
this attack was regarded lightly in
the Russian capital.
French Special Report.
Paris, May 8, 2:30 p. m.--The
French war Office this afternoon gave
out report on the progress Of hos
tilities which reads as follows:
In Belgium yesterday at daybreak
the Germans delivered u violent at
tack against the British lines near st.
Julien. This attack was repulsed, and
the enemy suffered heavy losses. =

ITO the south of Ypres, at Hill No.

CHAMBER GETS MORE
SCHEDULE CHANGES
New Britain Being Put on Railroad
Map by New Haven Road.

As. result partially, of the con-
ference which Secretary A. III. Andrews
of the Chamber of Commerce has had
with A. B. Smith. general passenger
agent of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad, two more
changes of particular benefit to New
Britain will be made in the summer
schedule which goes into effect June
g.. $500.
The first change will give New
Britain's travelling public the benefit of
the service given by the p. m. ex-
press from Boston. Train No. So now
leaves Boston daily at this hour and
makes a stop at Berlin only to let off
passengers holding tickets from Bos-
ton. Persons boarding the train at
any station this side of Boston must
make the change at Hartford and no
persons are permitted to board the
express at Berlin. Hereafter Berlin
will be made a regular stop.
The particular advantage of riding
through to Berlin to persons COM
ing from above Springfield is that they
may make use of the diner, which is
attached to the train at Springfield.
Heretofore there has not been enough
time for. persons with New Britain
as their destination to get meal be-
fore the change was made at Hart
ford. F4.,.
The benefit of the express from New
Britain to New York is of greater adj
vantage. The only trains from New
Britain to New York in the evening
now are those which arrive in New
York at s:45 and II o'clock. The
latter train leaves Berlin at 1885. The
express will leave Berlin at 1927 and
arrive in New York at 1901.
The other change is in connection
with the train leaving New York at
IL o'clock daily for Boston, which has
stopped at Berlin only on week days,
but will stop at Berlin on Sundays
also when the new schedule goes into
effect.
The New Haven road has made other
changes of benefit to New Britain in
addition to those suggested by the
Chamber of Commerce. One of these
will be the arrival in New Britain Of
the train from Bristol at 6:55 instead
of O'Clock, which will give factory
employees time to reach their work at
Z o'clock.
