trade of the allies which has been
hindered by the conflict on the seas.
We know the market for war sup

The Great Western pumps have
been working only three days but in

more than the management had any
reason to expect. Last night the water
level had been lowered tothe top of

out of commission at time when the

of water from a series of stringers
exposed in the crosscur. That the four

New Haven System is Ordered to Furnish
Monthly Statements.

Boston. Dec. 27.-Passenger service
on the lines OF the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford railroad in this state IS
severely criticized by the public service
commission in report made public last
night. The company is ordered to iur-
nsh monthly statements TO the commis.
sion, showing in detail each delay OF
five or more minutes in passenger trains
with the reasons therefor, and also
statement showing the status of plans
for the improvement OF the passenger
service.
In reviewing the financial condition OF
the railroad the commission says:
"The financial troubles OF the New
Haven company have been chiefly due to
the investment of huge amounts OF capi'
tai at wasteful prices in the securities
OF other companies.
"The present railroad plant Is rela-
lively inefficient and inadequate and the
ratio of operating expenses consequent,
" high. The earnings in the past OF
the railroad system proper have been
amply sufficient to support the credit
necessary to place the road IN hrs'
class operating condition"
