high tension transmission lines, the distributor of the energy generated by The Eastern Connecticut Power Company.
 It is expected that the balance of the power generated will be made use of by the various public utility corpora tions and municipal plants in tn ter ritory through which the Shore Line operates. Great benefit should accrue to the communities from the ability to secure an unlimited amount of cleo trical energy at moderate cost. A de- velopment of this nature is much need cd in order to take care of the grow ing demands brought about by the tremendous industrial development of Eastern Connecticut.
 The high tension lines of the Shore Line extend west as far as Guilford i; east into Rhode Island; north to Put nam and South Wtndham, through an amendment of it's charter passed in the last session of the Legislature the Shore Line secured the right to trans nit energy for commercial purposes and to dispose of it to the various legally authorized distributors of cleo tr1cal energy located in the towns through which its line runs.

Grain and Live Stock

Herbert Hoover. Food Administra- tor. has forwarded to the Committee of Food Supply of the State Council of Defence. a pamphlet on grain and live stock production which is of imm value because of the study and re- search back of 1t.
 He finds that the total import re- quirements of wheat for 1917 on the part of our allies will be SIT 100000 bushels, to meet which the United States and Canada can offer only 130, ,000, GOO bushels unless our own con- sumption of wheat sha1r he reduced. Hence the necessity of substituting corn for wheat in our. home consump- ton. Argentine, Australia and India cannot supply the need because of thefs distance and the scarcity of ships We must grow more wheat next year for even in the improbable event of peace basic price of $2 is gtaran- teed by the United States Government.

SWEDEN REPLIES TO CHARGE
Stockholm Government Says Minister
to Argentina Did Not Know
Contents of Message

Washington, Sept 14.-Sweden's re-
ply to this governments expose Of the
German intrigue through the Swedish
minister at Buenos Aires was deliver
ed orally to Secretary Lansing today
Charge Akerhielm submitted the
Swedish explanation-the same one
given to the press in Stockholm earli-
er this week This apparently closes
the incident so far as the United
States is concerned.
The department revealed today that
the note affair is not diplomatic Incl
dent, since Secretary Lansing merely
read the Luxburg data to Akerhielm
before it was published instead OF
sending official notice to the Swedish
government Sweden, therefore, is not
obligated to make a full formal an
sEer.
As expected, Sweden contends that
Minister Lowen at Buenos Aires was
acting without knowledge Of Count
Luxburg's language when he transmit
ted the German message TO Berlin
through the Swedish foreign office at
Stockholm. She adds that other neu-
trals-the United States included
have acted in similar capacities for
the Central Powers.

SHIPPING BOARD is AROUSED
Tieups in Various Plants in Northwest
Causing Concern to the Govern
ment Officials.

Washington, Sept. 15-The labor sit
uation in shipbuilding plants is giving
the shipping board serious concern. A
threatened walkout of iron trade work
ers at San Francisco and strikes at
Seattle and New York present the
most serious difficulties the board is
facing at the moment.
Representatives of both employers
and employees are here from Seattle
and a New York delegation came to-
day to take up the situation in New
York repair yards.
With the assistance of its wage ad-
justment board the shipping board is
trying to work out a wage scale by
zones, which it hopes will be adopted
by builders and their workers every
where. The system is patterned after
the navy scale.
The Seattle workers are demanding
SO per cent wage increase. If this
were granted and served as a basis
for increases elsewhere there would
be added to the cost of the govern
ment's shipbuilding program more
than 200 million dollars.
