Prospects Bright for Final Enactment
 Within Ten Days.

Washington, Sept. 13.-Senate and house conferees on the war tax bill will begin their work tomorrow with prospects bright for final enactment of the measure within ten days.

 The house members are expected to stand out for revision of the pre-war graduated war profits system and for higher rates on swollen" profits and large incomes. Elimination of the senate parcel post stamp tax provis- io nalso will be sought and there may be a fight for the second class post age increase.

sEND-oFF COMMITTEE
 WITH MAYOR DUNN CHAIRMAN
Voted at Town Hall Meeting Thursday Nisht-PIans For Demonstration Must Be Hurried,

The meeting scheduled at the town hall Thursday evening. to decide on was not largely attended, probably be- cause of the snort notice.
 Mayor D. P. Dunn opened the meet ing and explained the reason for it. He then called on F. F. F'enton, clerk of the exemption board who said that II of the men who are so must re- port at the headquarters of the dis trict "A hours before they leave and in this district they all report at II o'clock Wednesday morning. A roll noon at o'clock to determine the number of alternates needed. If a celebration of any sort is to be held. the evening would be the best time to hold it as the relatives of those going will want to stay with them as long as possible.
 It was voted that Mayor Dunn be made chairman of a committee of ten to be appointed by him to form all plans for such celebration If the celebration is held in the evening it will probably be held in the Armory in Pleasant street.
 The sending of the men from this district to PIainfield where they will detrain seems to be rather out of the way. The government will only fur nish transportation charHes from Plainfield, yet by it's own rules must pay transportation charges from the OlSCrlcC 1RdQQudTleTS. MT. FenLOn IS in communication with the war de- pertinent trying to have the place of detraining changed, so that the Plain field men can leave from that place and the Willimantic men leave from this city. Probably the officials who made out the place sof. detraining thought that Plainield was the head quarters of this exemption board. since the chairman, MT. Danielson, lives in that town, although he resides in the village of Moosup.
 At any rate, it shows that someone does not know much about the location of the places in Ea stern Connecticut, the same as the official who ordered that a cruiser in New London proceed to Willimantic when some Willimantic officials asked the war department to let some -jackies from New London participate in a parade held here a while ago.

AMERICAN GUNS ARE
 BOOMING IN FRANCE
But Thus Far They Have Not Been
 Turned Against the Enemy.

American Training Camp in France, Wednesday, Sept. 12.-(By the Asso- ciated Press). American guns are booming in France under the eyes of observation balloons with airplanes to trace each singing shrapnei shell, each missile of high explosive de- structiveness. Thus far the guns have not been turned against the enemy, artillery will beat the infantry to the front, for it is planned to complete the intensive training of the gunners under actual battle conditions, under their own weapons directed against occupied German trenches.
 While the plans of the American commanders are unknown, it would seem logical from a military stand roint that after the artillery has com plettd several weeks of training at the front with French infantry and supporting guns, the greater part Of it would be withdrawn for manoeu- vers with the gradually multiplying American infantry.
 The cooperation of artillery and infantry is so close under modern. battle taetics that it is essential they should be trained to act together all most as one unit: And just as the will devote itself largely through the fall and winter to training other units as they arrive, so the first contingent Of artillery will train the batteries, regiments and brigades which will be thrown into France before the spring campaign of 1918 is likely to begin.
 While it is not known here what announcements may have been made from Washington, the arrival of large section of American field artil- lery in France has been kept a care fully guarded secret SO far as Europe is concerned. The announcement is permitted now. only after the officers and men have progressed far in their intensive training under general su- pervision of Frances most expert ar tiller1sts.

Pigs Smelied-Mayor Took Proper Ac
 %;..


 War, draft, politics, everything gave way to the discussion of pigs on Rail- road street, from s until 10 o'clock Thursday evening. The cause of the trouble was four rather smelly pigs consigned to K. Dunion on the Adams Express Company lines. The pigs were killed at 10.30 in the morning and the hair had been singed off. during the 1NSt of the morning. The singeing process was not completed in time to allow the pigs to be dressed, conse- quently, when they had been in the express car. closed at that, they be- gan te smell. Mayor Dunn was noti- fled what was coming and he gave mo- tice that they were not to be remov- ed until the city health officer or some such person had looked at them since it was feared that they were diseased.
 The man to whom they were con signed and four of his friends said that the pigs were bought at Senator Lyman's and they had been sirr>d according to custom. Several pig specialists testified tat the smell was the smell of green pig. In view of the fact that the pigs, weighing $50 pounds and worth at least $15 would spoil if the intestines, etc, were left in them all night, and since Mir King, the official desired was out of town and would not return before morning, Mayor Dunn told them to take the pigs to their destination and to leave

 Car Leaves Track.
 The northbound passenger car on the Shore Line road due in Baltic at 4.2S jumped the iron at a point a short dis Railroad street, after leaving Baltic afternoon. The front truck left the iron a few feet from the bridge known as the town bridge in the western section of the village. When the car left the track it swung to the left of the bridge and travelled to the center of the bridge, before 1t could be gotten under control. Three small girls were standing at this point at the right of the bridge. These girls escaped being hit by the car, due to their quickness in jumping to safety. This bridge is a wooden structure and is not considered safe, owing to the heavy traffic over 1t each day. The bridge has always been kept in repair. There were not many passengers on the car when it went off the track. The 5.03 trolley out of Baltic for New London arrived in time and the pas sengers. including Normal School stu dents who travel to attend this school at Wf11imantfc were conveyed to points south by a waiting special car. After northbound travellers were taken to their destinations.
 During the evening the Cars were running off schedule time.

BEST FRIEND STOLE
 TRUDEAU'S POTATOES
Paul LaehapeIIe Arrested, Under New
 Garden Truck Law.

The second arrest for theft of gar der truck. under the new law on that point. was made here by Officer Mo Arthur, Thursday night when he ar rested Paul Lachapelle on a warrant sworn out by MT. Trudeau of Valley street.
 MT Laehapelle was supposed to be MT. Trudeau's best friend but the Tru- deaus have been missing vegetab b1es from their garden at Riverside Gar . dens recently. They suspected La chapelle and Sunday afternoon MT. Trudeau and his sons trailed Mir La chapelie and his son to the Trudea IS garden. Here one of them dug pota- toes, according to the Trudeau's story and the other placed the spuds in a bag, placing the vines back in the ground so it would appear that the vines had died a natural death. Upon being faced by the angry Trudeaus when they had the potatoes, Mr. La chapelle said that he only wanted to dig them to show Mir. Tfudeau what fine potatoes he (AIr. TrudeauD had. He only dug one hill, but. it contained A potatoes and measured about half a peck.
 Mir. Lachapelle will be tried Satur- day morning. He cannot claim that he knew no better, as did the chil- 'dren arrested at Gager's, a while ago. The fine in such cases is $100 or six months in jail, or both.

This implies that the next quota will leave before the arranged date of Oct 3.
