TOWN OF MONTAGUE
GREATLY AROUSED
Abandonment of the Trolley Line from
Turner's Falls Would Be Blow to
Three Communities.

GREENFIELD, Mass, April IL
The town of Montague as a whole is
greatly aroused over the announced
intention of the Connecticut Valley
Street Railway company to abandon
its lines between Turner's Falls, Mill
lers Falls and Montague July /, and
the citizens of the communities al
fected propose to take action as they
may to prevent, if possible, the sun
dering of the link which now connects
the three communities with Turner's
Falls There is some doubt Just now
as to whether 4 remedy is to be had
lat the hands Of the public service com
mission or the courts, although the lat
ter seems to be the proper tribunal to
resort to. No definite action has vet
been taken, but a meeting OF the
Turner's Falls board Of trade is TO be
held Friday evening, when 1t Is eX-
pected that measures will be adopted
! looking to 4 continuance of trolley serv-
| ice over the division which il is pro-
posed to abandon.
! The people OF the town recognize
that the railway company has had q
/ serious problem to deal with in giving

the road viii be a severe blow, not only
to community and public interests, but
to the prestige Of the town. Consign

the balance, the verdict might be
different one
The railway company feels that i
cannot be expected to maintain serv

$50 SHIPS CARRY
MEN AND SUPPLIES
United States Has Been Able
to Put 2,762,6O5 Tons
Into War Service
STEADY GROWTH is
FREELY PREDICTED

Interallied Boards Work Adds 90 Per
Cent in MONTH"; Boat Menace No
Longer Feared-General Feeling of
Optimism.
WASHINGTON, April 11.-By re-
>tricting imports, withdrawing ships |
from the less necessary trade channels, |
and obtaining neutral tonnage by
agreement, the United States has been
able to pat 2,762 600 tons of shipping
into the trans Atlantic service to carry
men and munitions to France. Of this
1.36j,344 tons are under American reg
istrT, the remainder being ships operat
ed by private interests and neutral ton
mage. There are in eli 800 ships, Of
which 800 are Of American registry.
It is said that the shipping stua
ton, from the viewpoint of the United
States. is more favorable than at any
time since the nation entered the war.
The tonnage now in service includes
only q small part of the 5000 or
more tons of Dutch ships which Were
rcquisitioned. 1t is believed that the
5000, 0O0-ton mark will be reached
when all Of the Dutch shipping avail
able for oversee service is in use
70 this tonnage Will be added aradu
ally the 100000 tons which Japan has
promised during the summer months
and the ships now under construction
in this country which are nearing com
pletion Later Japan will add another
100000 tons or more which is to be
built.
All of the shipping now available to
the United States is being routed and
loaned by the interallied ship control
committee of which 7. 4. S. Franklin
is chairman The increased efficiency
which has ben obtained by this com
mittec during the last 80 days. it is
said, has added 20 per cent to the serv-
ice given by the fleet or the equivalent
Of 100000 IN figures Of tonnage, over
the February service.
Reports received from the Shipyards
lately have not been unfavorable, and
it is believed that the April deliveries
will set new record, despite the de-
lays in supplies and transportation
troubles
Apparently there Is 4 general feeling
OF optimism over the situation and q
conviction that the fleet available foI
trans Atlantic service viii be gradually
increased despite the best efforts Of the
German submarines Barring some dis
aster in the shipyards II seems posi-
tive that the point has been reached
