 Fixing Road.
 Roadnen employed by the town of Norwich have fixed up the Oakland avenue road as far as the Bozrah town line, grading the road so a gutter will be on one side only, filling in the un- even places and carting off many of the stones.

Washington, July 25.-The admins tra tion food control bill was sent to conference by the house today with blanket instructions to disagree on all senate amendments. The conferees will hold their first meeting tomorrow morning, but it probably will be at least a week before a report on the long disputed legislation is ready.
 Blocked in sending the measure to conference yesterday by the effort of Republican Leader Mann for a sep arate vote on the amendment creating a congressional war expenditures com mittee, the democrats brought in a special rule to force action today. Thirty-one republicans joined in sup porting motion to invoke the previ- ous question on the rule, shutting off debate, and after that Mir. Mann's op- position collapsed completely. He made no attempt to force a record vote on adoption of the rule itself.
 The principal trouble in conference doubtless will center around the sen ate amendments for war expenditures congressional committee, for a food control board of three members, for a S2 minimum price for wheat and to permit continuance of the use of food

May Result in Transfer Of Pacific
 Naval Fleet to the Atlantic.

Tokio, July 1.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press). Viscount Xii kujiro Ishii himself, and other Jap anese, speaking authoritatively, have laid stress on the point that the forthcoming visit of the Ishii mission to the United States has no relation to the recent action of the American government in sending a note to China The mission is purely con- nected with the operations of the war it is explained. If political questions concerning China and the Far East generally are discussed with tt:e Ishii incidentally.
 Viscount Ishii probably will submit to the Washington government Ja- pans willingness and readiness to substitute Japanese warshipS for the American naval force now in the, Pa cific ocean, including those making up the Asiatic fleet with headquarters a Manila, thus freeing the American fleet for transfer to the Atlantic ocean, where it would be more use ful. Although the envoy will discuss i11 a concrete way a project Of prac- tical cooperation with the United States government in the matter of furnishing ammunition and general war supplies to the entente allies.

stuffs in the manufacture of light wines and beer.
 In view of President Wilson's an- rounced opposition to the war expendi- lures committee, which he maintains would embarrass him in the conduct of rhe war, administration leaders are certain they can eliminate it. The proposal to have three food commits sioners instead of one probably will lead to a very stubborn fight since the presidents desire that it be stricken out to give Herbert Hoover a free hand has many opponents in both houses.
 Indications are that the senate pro- hibition provisions may be greatly strengthened. At least five of the seven senate conferees are said to favor personally a bone dry country and Chairman Lever of the conferees has promised the prohibition repre- sentatives that he will endeavor sstrenuously to retain the bone-dry plan for which the house voted. The conferees are Senators Gore Chamberlain, Smith of South Carolina Smith of Georgia. Kenyon. Warren and Page, and Representative Lever ot South Carolina; Lee, Georgia.
