u. S. EMBASSY
CUT OFF FROM
OUTSIDE RUSSIA

Washington. Nov. 16-Dispatches
from Ambassador Francis in Petro-
grad, dated Nov. IL, arrived today,
but contained nothing not already re-
ported in the news cables and in fact
described the situation as it was pre-
sented in the news dispatches of that
date. when fighting was in progress
in Petrograd and the bolsheviki had
not been ousted by Premier Keren-
sky's forces as later dispatches have
indicated.
Ambassador Francis reported that
he had no written or oral commune
cation with the bolsheviki govern
ment His message was the first re-
ceived since Nov. 8, although it stat
ed that he had filed cable reports ev-
cry day.
Fighting was in progress in the
streets and, he said, the telegraph
and telephone offices had changed
hands several times. The failure OF
some of the ambassadors reports to
come through may be due to the dis
turbed conditions.
The ambassador had no knowledge
of the situation outside Of Petrograd.

POJJLTRYMEN
SAVING MONEY

Seventy-six Connecticut poultry
men learned how they might save
from IS to $40 month on their
grain bills by carefully figuring their
poultry rations when r. e. Jones, ex-
tension poultryman for the Connect
icut Agricultural College gave them
some expert advise at the first two
Of the series Of poultry meetings to
be held in this state during the win
ter period at Danbury. where the
first meeting was held. Thirty-seven
owners of poultry fiocks handed to
Mr. Jones a statement of the ration
they were using. Taking the various
ration, they figured what it was cost
ing each man to feed his flock. Than
Mr.. Jones figured a ration for the
poultrymen, basing his figures upon
feed prices obtained from local feed
dealers. A comparison Of the two
metods Of feeding showed that >the
poultryman from the college could
save the farmers at the meeting. a
total of $187 for the month. At
Bridgeport, where the meeting was
attended by thirty-nine poultry own
ers, the figures showed that 1t would
be possible for these men to save
$3.50 on the months figures. or an
average of about SO per man.

AKRON & BOSTON
AUTO EXPRESS

Highway freight trains are now
funning in the United States-run-
ming over country roads, from Akron,
Ohio to Boston, Massachusetts, and
return. covering q distance of 1910
miles In a week.
Thus, what all the good roads pro-
paganada for the past Is years has
failed to achieve, the freight car
shortage and a national crisis have
acccmplisb-% Tea e-Al.c has been
sorced to yuske greater use or its
greatest transportation asset - the
country road.
The truck line from Akron to Bost-
ON is being operated by the Good
year Tire & Rubber Co. 1t is called
the akron & Boston Express The
present equipment consists of trucks
of ", and ton capacity. It is
planned to increase the equipment;
and, according to ]. L. Sydnor. the
Company's efficiency specialist, adj
dittonal trucks are already ordered.
A regular schedule Is maintained.
M D Scott, manager of garage, says
they are usually on time. The
t1510 miles) in less than one week.
Mr. Sydnor says that the Express
companies do not deliver stuff as
rapidly as that, and that the truck
costs are competing with express
rates Tires are loaded for their
Eastern branches and cotton fabrics
and machinery for their plant in
Akron is carried on the return trip.
Several trips have been made to
Washington, D. C. with ''war orders
and good time was made.
Service was started last April and
Mr.. Sydnor hopes to continue through
the winter unless stopped by too
much ice and snow. There Is only
rs miles of unimproved road. which
bothers considerably In muddy
weather. The poor condition of some
of the old wooden and steel bridges
Is another handicap. Pneumatic tires
are used exclusively, at a greater
cost per mile, says Mr.. Sydnor, but
with less wear and tear on trucks
and roads.
The country road Is at last COM
ing into view as the railroad of to-
morrow"
