One plane landed twelve miles from
Rantoul for gasoline, but arose with
little delay. The depart of the
fliers marked the abandonment of
Ashburn as training camp of the
aviators as the government was un-
able to obtain additional land without
paying what it considered too high a
price

Whether he still intends to do something of this sort hasn't been stated. The last word was the first one.
 Welsh is an Englishman and, as such has an opportunity to enlist in New York city, where recruiting office has been opened for British subjects who may be in America. Ted Kid Lewis and Tom Cowler are Englishmen. They may take advantage of the opportunit- ty and add their fighting ability to the Britishers hocking to the colors in this country.

 Partly to preserve the coal supply. or rather the effective distribution of the coal supply. the Railroad War Board recommended some tune ago that the railways Of the country ellm- mate such trains from their schedules as f would be possible Co do without too great inconvenience To the puh- lie. As a result of this recommerfa ton the New Haven railroad decided upon the elimination Of i99 passenger trains.
 The elimination of these t9a trains means, according te figures compiled by the operating department 0f Che New Haven, a. saving each week day of 355 tons Of coal. and a saving ou of A. tons. This is a weekly saving of 2.O54 tons and an annual saving of ld6 S2S tons.
 There is no way of course of fT- Iring the average amount Of coal uHed by the poor during a winter Tw1 tons Of coal. however, will carry a family of five persons long way and on this basis nearly 270.c00 persons could be kept warm during tbe conn ing winter by the saving effected hV the New Haven in Inc elimi aatlou of these trains.
