DYES ON DEUTSCHLAND
COMING TO NEW LONDON
Part Of the Valuable Cargo VIII Be
Used b. Silk Company.

A portion Of the cargo of the sub
marine Deutschland, which is now re-
ported to have eIuded the watchful
patrol of the allied battIeships on it's
way back TO Bremen, is destined to
reach New London, and is expected
daily. The recipient will be the New
London Wash Silk company, whose
plant is located in Hampstead street,
and the shipment viii consist OF yalu-
able dyes.
A member of the company said Fri
day that for business reasons he did
not care to state either the cOIors or
the quantity, but he intimated that the
shipment will be a valuable asset in
their manufacturing. He added that
because of the German embargo the
business of the company, like that Of
every other similar concern, had been
seriously affected.
The manufacture of dyestuffs has
been begun in this country now" he
continued, but up to the present time
those which have been made have not
been adapted to the finer kinds of
products. For that reason the cargo
which recently arrived on the Deutsch-
land was most eagerly welcomed by
numerous manufacturers. We consider
ourselves extremely fortunate to be
able to secure a share of it."

juries alleged to have been received
while driving a team which was
struck by the defendants automobile.
The plaintiff was coming to Nor
witch on July 13 and at Trading Cove
Mr.. McBurney collided with him, as
the result, of negligent driving, the
plaintiff claims. The wagon was
smashed up and Mr.. Smith was drag
ged 5000 feet when the horse ran and
suffered extensive injuries.
Rose A. Welsh of New London

That the State Jitneymen's associa-
ton is highly in favor Of the petition
for al ordinance to bond ali jitney
drivers to the extent of $1,000, was
the opinion expressed at New Haven
Thursday night. w L. Gray, presi-
dent Of the association in New Ha-
ven, argued that the only drawback
10 the jitney men has been that thus
far they have had no protection. He
advocated an ordinance compelling all
jitneymen to file a bond for $1,000
with the city clerk before securing a
license to engage in the traffic. Other
members of the association pointed
out that such ordinances have been
enacted in Waterbury, South Norwalk
and New London and proved quite in
strumental in eliminating reckless
drivers.

STATE PAID $4,000
TO MOVE NATIONAL GUARD
Cost of MobiIizing Connecticut Troops
at Mantle.


The cost of conveying the members
of the Connecticut National Guard
from their home stations all over the
state to Mantle at the time of the
mobilization in June was $4,000. This
announcement was made at the
Hartford armory, Friday, by Colonel
NJ. ]. Wise, assistant to the acting
chief quartermaster, and is the result
of the work of Strengthening out ac-
counts that has busted the colonel
since his return from Camp HOlcomb.
The number of guardsmen transport
ed to Mantle was about 5000, Colonel
Wise said, this number including the
recruits, and nearly all the money
that was spent in mobiIizing them
was expended for railroad fares. The
bills for freight were relatively small.
The expense of maintaining the camp
at Mantle was shared between the
state and the federal government, and,
according to Colonel Wise the total
of the state expenditures in this re-
gard has not yet been determined.
mot a single complaint from men
at the border IN regard to their
equipment has reached this office"
said Colonel Wise, and this is added
proof Of the excellence and complete
ness of the equipment of our guards
men"
Other states have received many
complaints from their militia en-
discomfort arising from faulty or in
complete equipment.
The morning brought no applicants
to the National Guard recruiting sta
ton at the armory, but late Thursday
afternoon there were four. Two of
these passed their examinations and
requirements, two were rejected, but
neither of the two accepted actually
enlisted. One of them said he did
not want to be sworn in until he had
paid a visit to his home. The other
accepted candidate came to the arm
DRY with a companion, and, as the
pair explained to Captain Frank Con-
ner, they just blew in on a freight"
The captain told the men to take a
good wash, as their condition plainly
indicated the truth of their claimed
method Of travel and in that condi-
ton no physical examination was pos
sible. When this examination was fl
nally given, one of the pair passed it.
and the other was rejected, but the
two were evidently Damon and Ply
thias in modern hobo form, for the
accepted man refused to be sworn in
because it would involve 'Ieavin' me
side kick"
