DANGER OF TURK ATTACK
 ON SUEz CANAL
Hot Weather and Drying of Water Holes Likely to
 Prevent Assault

Cairo, Egypt, May 5.-serious Turk lsh attacks the Suez Canal and Egypt, with the com1ng of the hot weather and the drying up of many of the desert water-h holes, are now said to be only a, remote possibility, though sharp raids may, it is thought by the allied military authorities, be attempted by the Ottoman command CTS.
 Turkish troops are still on the Sinai peninsula, an arid tract of Egyptian territory lying between the Suez Canal and the nominal boundary of Turkey in Asia, stretching across from Rafa on the Mediterranean to Azaba on the gulf of the same name forming an arm of the Red Sea. They are, how ever, the object of repeated observa- ton on the part of allied airmen, and reconnoitering parties have kept in touch with them and made themselves fully acquainted with their disposi- tions. Only recentIv the occupation by allied troops of Jifjafa, about 60@Aes to the east of the Suez Canal, placed an obstacle in what would have to be the main line of a Turkish advance towards the canal. This runs from Fl Audja to Isnailia.-
 Two other practicable routes lead from the Turkish positions across the desert sands towards Egypt proper. The first runs almost parallel with the
 
 through Fl Arish and Katia to El Kantara, but some time ago the Katia district with it's water supply came into the allies possession and rem dered difficult any attempt by the Turks to force their way along to the Canal banks and Port Said.
 The second remaining line of possf- ble approach is further to the south from Akaba by way of the oasis of Ell HaSsana towards Sue1s. It was this oasis occupied by Turks and Arab horsemen which was bombed by allied air-~"en in March.
 Nothing is permitto- to be recorded of the preparations made by the allies to meet any, effort at a Turkish offen- Sive movement. >
 The Prince of Wales, now a staff captain, a, few weeks ago made a tour of the entire front and saw the allied troops. at their work of strengthening their line, which runs through dis tricts where the Israelites on their flight from Egypt are said to have drunk from wells still in daily use.

.S0USE SHIP SAFE
 IN PORT; CARRIES
 28 MILLION BALLS
Seven Hundred Tons Scotch Aboard Steamer Tuscania
 of Anchor Line

New York, May 5.-The good ship Tuscania of the Anchor line staggered into port Wednesday bearing tidings of great joy for the ancient marines of Broadway and Cape Times Square. Stored carefully away in her hold, under a heavy guard, were the ma kings of enough high balls to 1ubri- cate that arid section for some days to come.
 Statistical sharps were covering the cafe table cloths with figures at a late hour last night, in an effort to deter mine how many highballs are repre- sented in the~7OO tons of Scotch which the "souse ship brought in. Late returns from the outlying precincts around Forty-second street place the number at 24.892,OOO.
 The figure was arrived at, it was ex- p1ained, by a progressive system of mathematics which determined that TOO tons means 127,OOO cases.
 There aref12 bottles to a case and 16 fluid ounces, or, in other words, 16 drinks to a, bottle.
 By the simple process of mu1tipli- cation the before-mentioned figure is reached. This does not take into consideration, of course, the hard boiled eggs who ignore the three finger standard. This ancient order cannot be dealt with by any establish ed rules of mathematics.

Venerable Record
 Shows Tolls of Old
 New Milford Bridge

Hartford, May 5.-Joseph H. Net t1eton of New Milford has presented to the state library the early records, in two volumes, of the New Milford and Litchf1eld Turnpike company, which received it's charter from the state October 1. 1797. The original incorporators were Josiah Starr and Elijah Boardnan of New Milford and Moses Seymour and Heber Stone of Litchf1eld. The records are in or dinary handwriting, very well pre- served and extend to the year 1846, the last entry having been made on January 14 of that year. At the time the company was incorporated the following tolls were authorized to be charged of those who used the new road: Stage carrying the mails, 12 F C. every chaise. chair or suIky, 6kc; every loaded cart, wagon or sled, 6 e; every empty cart, wagon or sled, 4c; every pleasure or travel ing sleigh, 4c; every single horse cart, Sc: every man and horse, Sc; every horse, cattle or mule in droves, 1c; sheep and hogs, mills each.
 The turnpike was to, be free on Sundays and on other days for those who were going to attend divine wor- ship. It was also to be free to those on their way to town meetings, fu- neraIs or to military service.

TRI-COLOR SCHEME
 PILOTS MOTORISTS
 OVER STATE ROADS
State Highway Commission CT Adopts Method In
 Vogue Elsewhere

The state highway commissioner Charles J. Bennett, is~ having the trunk line highways of Connecticut
 marked according to the t'tri-coIor' scheme as usedt in other New Eng land states.
 The trunk line roads have been laid out into three distinct systems, the north and south roads forming one the east and west another. and those running diagonal1y across the state the third.) The first is known as the blue route, the second the red route and the third the yellow route. Telegraph poles and the first posts on fences along the highways have seven-inch bands painted on them, designating the different routes. Where a junction of two or more routes occurs the poles will bear the co1ors of each route, and the roads branching off will each carry the color of the respective ros1te, thus when a tourist comes to such point he can tell very easily which road to take. In conjunction with this system the highway department is having made a complete map of the state showing in colors the various routes.
 The American Automobile associa- ton is also drawing up new lower New England map which will carry out the same idea, but in addition to
  Massa achusetts.
 Another part of the work that the state highway department is doing along these lines is the placing of large Danger signs at all points on the trunk lines that are in any way a source of danger. There are three distinct forms of these signs: Rail- road crossings. steep grades and dan gerous curves.
 One other kind of sign is being erected by the department and that is one that bears the name of the next town on the route; the back ground of this sign is painted the col or corresponding with the route on which it is located with the name of the town in a contrasting color.
 Following the plan laid out by the highway department the good roads and signboard committee of the Automobile club of Hartford will place signs through Hartford showing the routes through the city streets connecting with the state roads on the outskirts. Secretary Arthur Fiji foot of the club says that this com mittee, the members of which are AL bert M Kohn. chairman; F. Irwin Da- wis, Roscoe N. Clark and E. M. liar rington, have held two meetings, con ferring with a representative or the highway department, and have laid out the work in a very comprehen- siye manner and hope to have practi- cally all the signs in place before the touring season opens
 Secretary F'ifoot has had cards printed with cuts of the various signs and description of same which he is sending to the garages, hotels and clubs throughout the state.
 The Automobile club of Hartford is also offering a reward of $50 for the arrest and conviction of any per son stealing a car, the property of any member of the club

GERMANS EATING WOODEN BREAD'
 SAYS TRAVELLER
Mix Fibre With Wheat and Bake Compound for
 Food

New York, May 5.-The food situaa tion in Germany is so serious that the population is now obliged to eat wooden bread,' acording to Edward Roentgen, Dutch musician and nephew of the discoverer of the Ro- entgen ray, who was one of the 36S passengers to arrive here on the HOI- land-American liner Noordam yester- day. MT Roentgen left Berlin early in April, and at that time, he declares the authorities were grinding up wood fibre to mix with wheat, and this com pound was baked into bread.
 One loaf of this wooden bread, it was said, contains about 4 the same amount of nourishment as does one slice Of wheat bread. It was further described as having a decided wooden taste.
 The Dutch, he said-and other pas sengers from Holland slnbstantiated him-are extremely incensed at Ger many, and are ready to throw open invasion. In addition, an army of 75O,0 900 is under arms. Altogether the nation has subscribed to preparedness with a capital P.
 When asked whether the Dutch feared aggression from the Allies, pas sengers from Holland were uniform in denying this. They explained that the nation is grettly aroused over the Nsr- pedoing of it's ships by the Germans, particularly the Tubantia.
 The trip from Rotterdam, which the vessel left on April 18 was an excur- sion of considerable Iength-a swins, around the scenic circle, affording views of the fjords of Norway, the Orkneys, the Scotch coast to Kirkw1gel and on down to Falmouth. The pas sengers felt that they had had as much of a pleasure trip as the war zone now affords.
 Like the Ryndam, which arrived here only yesterday, the Noordam was halted off Kirkwan by a British cruis- CT and taken into the port for inspec- tion. The British authorities took off 1 ,027 bags of mail, x all she had except embassy pouches.

CONGRESS WITH LETTERS
 OPPOSING WAR
Printed Notes, by Thousands, DeIuge Senators and Rep
 reSentatiVeS.

Washington, May 5-Printed form letters protesting against any step which may lead to war with Ger many began pouring in by the thou sands yesterday upon members of Congress, as the esque1 to the te1e- graph propaganda which swamped the capital and the telegraph com panies last week.
 Even the names of the Represen- tat1ves were printed on the enveI- opes, and everything gave evidence that the letters had been prepared by thousands and required only writ ten scignatures.
 Senator Husting of Wisconsin, who attacked the propaganda in the Sen ate and conferred with President Wilson to find if there was not some way by which the Department of Justice could uncover it's source, re- ceived letters today which, he said added evidence to his charge that the American embargo conference was behind the movement, and had declared the purpose of making drastic efforts to prevent at least severance of diplomatic relations"
