HUNTERS IN FAIRFIELD
COUNTY SHOT 124 DEER

Hartford, Nov. 16-More deer have
been killed in Litchfield county than
in any other county in the state, ac-
cording to figures given out yesterday
at the office Of the state fish and game
commission. Since the law regarding
the killing of deer in Connecticut went
into effect on August /, 1915, the num-
Der slain has reached LIPS. At pres
ent the number Of deer killed aver
ages six each day in this state. In
Hartford county since August /, 1915,
deer numbering 306 have been slain,
the number in Ltchfield county being
371. In New Haven county 1873 have
been killed, while New London has re-
ported $50. Fairfield has reported 1874.
Considering the fact that there is no
open season on deer in Connecticut.
the law in this state being rigid on
this subject, the number of deer killed
since the General Assembly decided to
curb hunters is considered exception
ally large. Land owners are allowed
to kill deer on their property, accord
ing to the state law, and persons who
have leased land for agricultural pur-
poses for a period Of not less than one
year are also given the same privi-
lege. A fine of 500 or imprisonment
of not more than 60 days is provided
in the state law for persons falling to
report deer killed or persons who have
violated the deer law.
According to returns received from
the town clerks of the state at the Of
fee of the tlsh and game commission,
the hunting season in Connecticut this
year has broken all records. There
are now about 10000 hunters In the
state. In the office of the fish and
game bureau, license stubs numbering
l.50O have been received this season.
This represents nearly $3.50

Close at 6 p. M.

Paris, Nov. 16.-Under a Govern
ment decree which is about to be sign
ed France is to begin a series of war
economies. A National Board of Su-
pervision, presided over by ex-Presi-
dent Armand Fallieres, will be invest
ed with large powers in an effort to
stop waste and to compel savings in
the use of coal, light, and provisions.
Shops, under the provisions of the
decree, will begin closing at six
o'clock this evening, and restaurants
and cafes will shut their doors at $3.50
P. M, instead Of 1920 P. M. Theatres
will be closed on Mondays This i'm
cludes the operas. Moving pictures
will be closed Tuesday, and cafes, con-
certs and music halls on Wednesdays.
The Board of Supervision may
name additional closing days in order
to reduce the consumption of coal for
lighting. Parisians have been start
led to hear that the elevators of many
buildings will be stopped generally for
the same purpose.
The coal supply of the western AL
lies is drawn from England, which
must partition the fuel for Italy and
France, and, to some extent, for Swift
zerland and Spain. The lack of both
sea and railway transportation facili-
ties limits deliveries.
lighting has caused sudden boarding
of candles, OIL, and acetylene. Shop
keepers either were sold out to-day or
were dealing with long lines of people
waiting to make purchases. The Gov
eminent measures are largely precau-
tionary, and are taken to remind the
people of the prospect of long war,
and the necessity of forming the habit
of conserving their resources.

TO WIN WAR NEXT YEAR,
LLOYD GEORGE THINKS
British War Minister Optimistic c-Ex-

BY JOHN L. BALDERsTON.
ICopyright. l9al


London, Oct. lS-David Lloyd George,
the live wire Of the British government.
has entered the ranks Of war prophets.
Just year ago, at the time of the Ger
man conquest Of Serbia and Of the black
est pessimism in England, he foretOld
the course of this years campaign cor
Tectly, and added that the decisive blow
would be struck and the war would "ap-
proaCh a conclusion" in the spring, or
wore u~0babIy the summer. OF 1917" Mr.
Lloyd George in making this prediction
uu.,d L..l-gI- with the late Lord Kitch-
enc. whose statement to the house of
lords at the very beginning that the war
would last three years will apparently
be fulfilled.
Lloyd Georges analysis OF the situa-
ton was not made for publication, and
has not hitherto been known, but was
revealed by Stephen PiChon. former min
lister OF foreign affairs in France, in the
course of a glowing tribute to the mill
tary and industrial achievements Of Great
Britain. 7 recall a conversation I had
at this time last year with Mr.. Lloyd
George at a country house." said NJ.
Pichon.
He envisaged without prejudice or
illusion the military situation, estimated
the probable duration Of the war, fore
saw that 1t would evolve slowly al the
cost of immense sacrifices, and that It
would only be in 1917, in the spring, or
more probably the summer. that II would
approach n conclusion. His calculation
was based on a comparison Of the re-
spective belligerent forces, the allies in
suficiency Of necessary material the
time it would take to produce or pro-
cure it, the German successes over the
Russians in Poland, the repairing OF tao
teal mistakes, the building up of the
British army and so forth.
His reasoning was, as usual. clear
and vigorous. supported by facts put
forward in the fEurative speech that IS
customary with him, and convincing rs
syllOEism. The event has in any case
completely justified everything he said.
Years Distance Away.
I'VE are now a years distance from
that time. As Mr.. Lloyd George himself
declared a few weeks ago. we are today
on an eminence from which we can dis
