The service is available for any

Hartford, Nov. 20-The committee
on transportation of the Connecticut

today that it's plan for relieving
freight congestion in the State by
making use Of idle automobile trucks
has been developed to the point where
the committee is able to help shippers
and Is only waiting to hear from
them as to their needs.
The committee, with the co-opera-

all truck owners Of Connecticut ask
ing for information as to which of
them had trucks available for extra
work.
1t was surprised to learn that In
spite Of the grea4 activity Of industry
there are a large number of trucks
in Connecticut that are able to do
transportation work for other ship

In the section between Hartford ana

FIFTH JURYMAN
FOR DE SAULLES
TRIAL ACCEPTED

Mineola, L. L, Nov. 20-Only four
jurors had been selected for the tr1al
of Mrs. Blanca De Saulles for the
murder of her divorced husband, John
L. De Saulles, Yale athlete and club
man, when the case was resumed here
today. There were indications, how
ever, that the eight other men who
are to pass on the Chilean heiress'
guilt or innocence would be chosen
and the taking of testimony begun
before afternoon recess.
All doubt as to the grounds on
which the defense will base its plea
for an acquittal were removed by Mr..
Uterhart's questions to prospective
jurors during yesterdays opening ses-
sion of the trial. These clearly In
dicated that he will endeayor to prove
that early on August the date of the
shooting, owing to De Saulles' Viola
ton Of a promise to return her child
to her care, the defendant became
mentally irresponsible and, while in
that state, committed the shooting
for which she Is on trial.
The four jurors chosen yesterday
were all more than so years and OF
families. John C. Bucken, q book
keeper for j. P. Morgan & Co.. will
be foreman Of the jury.
1t Is expected that the entire week
Will be occupied in hearing the case.
Mrs. De Saulles appeared much
brighter when she entered the court
room today.
The first talesman examined today
was selected as the fifth juror. He
was William r. Jones, real estate
dealer, married.

GREAT INTEREST
IN ALLIED WAR
COUNCIL TODAY

London, Nov. 20-Chancellor Bon
ar Law said in the house OF commons
today, in response to a question, that
the British government had informa-
ton quite officially that President
Wilson had sent cablegram asking
Col. House and Gen. Bliss to attend
the first meeting Of the inter-Allied
war council. i
London, Nov. 20-None of the
numerous Allied war councils which
have occurred in the past three years
has occasioned the interest attending
today's meeting Of the American war
mission and the British war cabinet
for Tightening the links that chain the
Anglo-American war efforts. The
scene Is the dingy old residence of
Downing street which has served the
prime ministers Of many generations
as both home and office, and the room
is the council chamber where the
cabinets met and where the destinies
of the empire have been shaped since
| the days Of the American Revolution.
Lord Reading, the lord chief JUS
| tioe, presided, with Andrew Bonar
Law, British chancellor Of the ex-
chequer, and Oscar T. Crosby, assistant
oOS-
the table beside him. The military
and naval heads of both governments
and officials representing other de-
partments Of war work were grouped
together. Premier Lloyd-George was
present for the purpose of answering
questions. The general work of the
meeting constitutes the taking of stock
of the resources and needs of both
countries and, to some extent, Of the
continetal Allies.
The council met at noon. Lord
Reading was the first to arrive. He
had a five minute chat with Premier
Lloyd George and then prepared to
greet the distinguished men from
America and the British participants
Some OF these came on foot and 9TH
ers in motors. There was no demon.
stration by the sightseers.
The crowds displayed deep inter-
est in Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, chief of
staff Of the American army, and Ad-
mira1 William s. Benson, who arrived
separately with their aides.
Everybody asked for Col. e. M.
House, head of the American mission,
but Col. House did not attend the
meeting, his secretary, Gordon Auch-
inloss, representing him.
lean mission were early on the scene,
but the beginning of the conference
| awaited the arrival of some Of the
British officials who had been detafn-
ed by other war engagements. The
delay was brief, however, and in the
noon hour all were in their seats. Lord
Reading formally opened the proceed
| ings.
| London; Nov. 20-The reception of
Premier Lloyd Georges speech in
the House Of Commons by the morn
ing newspapers justifies the assump-
1 ton that the storm that lately threat
ened a crisis has passed not only
without damaging the premier's hold
on the country, but perhaps even
strengthening it, it is conceded, even
by his opponents, that the speech
was in the premier's best manner and
was a parliamentary triumph.
