Smaller Bread Ration
For France Approved

PARIS, Nov. 30.-The Cabinet to-day
approved of the measures of Victor
Boret, Minister of Provisions. regulat-
ing the distribution of bread. Closer
restrictions have become necessary be-
cause of insufficient hsrvests and the
limitations of tonnage for importations.
The basic principle OF the new rs-
tioning is That none except agriculture
lists consuming their own crops may
have a greater ration than the soldiers
at the front. Individual bread cards
will be established for towns Of more
than 10000 population and the state
acquisitions all cereals.
Pastry shops will continue to close
during two days Of each week and must

Price of Cuban
Sugar Crop Fixed
AT 4.6 a Pound
Cost of the Raw Product
Should Give Scent Rate
TO Consumers

The price of the Cuban sugar crop
was fixed yesterday at as cents pound
for raw sugar delivered on shipboard
in the ports of the island. 1t was
COMPROMISE between the rate originally
set by the national food administra-
zion and that demanded By the Cuban
planters.
The cost of the raw product de-
termined yesterday ought to give the
consumers Scent sugar during the
coming year, and as tLs sugar crop
available to the United States IS fair
in quantity. there is no reason for fear
ing another famine according to food
administration officials.
Depends on Tonnage
The Cuban crop, which is now belng
harvested, is estimated at 100000 to
100000 tons by George Rolph, clief
of the sugar division OF the United
States Food Administration, The do
nestle beet crop. he said. would make
about 100000 tons; Louisiana cane,
200 900 tons; British West Indies, 3OO,-
600 tons; Dominican crop, 10000 tons;
the Peruvian and Brazilian crops,
100 900 tons, and all other available
crops, 10000 tons. The total is about
8 900 600 tons. In addition, there IS
the Philippine crop, the acquisition Oh
which will depend on available ton
mage.
There has been more or less OF a
deadlock between the lnternationa!
Sugar Committee. acting for the onited
States and the Allies, and the Clban
Commission appointed by Presideht
Menocal. and headed by Senior Carlos
Manuel de Cespedes, Cuban Minister to
the United States.

North Branford, Conn, Aug. 13.--
Seventeen persons we're killed and
upward of twoscore injured, some
probably fatally, when two trolley
cars on the Shore Line Electric Rail
way crashed head on at high speed
short distance from the local sta.
tion late today. Both cars, of heavy
construction, were running at high
speed, it is said, and the force of the
impact was such as to lock them
together, mass of twisted iron and
steel and splintered wood.
Many of those killed died instantly
and others within short time after
being taken from the wreckage.
Both cars were well filed with pas
sengers. Most of the dead are wo-
men, with a few men and some chill.
dren Few of them have been iden
titled so far the injuries being such
as to make identification difficult in a
large number Of cases. The injured
were rushed to New Haven hospitals
The eastbound car was running on
its regular schedule, and the west
bound, it is said, should have waited
on turnout for it to pass, the road
being single track.
After the accident Motorman Ne

and passed the turnout before he
was aware of it He escaped serious
injury by jumping when the collision
was inevitable. Motorinan Morris

LETTER FROM PARK MATTIsoN
Bennington Boy Writes of Life with
the Misquito Fleet

Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Mattison of
North Bennington have received a
letter from their son, Park Mattison,
who was transferred early in the war
to the little destroyer Wake and who
is now somewhere on the other side
of the Atlantic The young man
writes that the censorship is so strict
that he Is unable to give any details
of his experiences or any informa-
ton that would indicate the part the
Wake is taking in the war. He does
state, however, that the men of the
Wake have had an opportunity to go
ashore in France aud that they have
not landed in England The fact that
he has secured some Irish lace which
he is to bring home with him on his
return, is an indication that the de
stroyer is on duty somewhere near
the Emerald Isle.
The letter also intimates that the
Wake helped to make up the convoy
that accompanied the transports on
which Perishing's men made the
Journey to France, The young man
writes that he is in good health and
that he regularly receives the papers
and letters sent him by his relatives
and friends.
