NEW TIME TABLE
 IN EFFECT SUNDAY
New Haven Road Forced to Re-
 arrange Its Schedule

New York, Jan. 1O-Following the elimination of S2 passenger trains an- nounced by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company on January 6, the company is re-arrans- ing it's schedule of trains to relieve fur ther the prevailing pressure incident to war activities.
 These new schedules will go into effect Sunday, January 13 They ef- feet some of the important through trains, but mostly concern local trains.
 Among the important changes are train Nos. II and 12. The form CT now leaves Boston week days at 10:C5 a. m. for New York, and the latter leaves New York weekdays at 10:O3 a. m. for Boston. These trains will hereafter leave at 1O:oo a. m. and are scheduled to arrive at destination at 4:00 D. m.
 Train No. 1 now leaving Boston daily at 12:OO midnight will leave un Sunday and thereafter at 11:30 p. m; and Train No. instead of leaving New York at 12:OO midnight will leave at 11:45 p. III.
 The 12:30 night trains between New York and Boston will leave at 12:Oo midnight starting Sunday, January IS.
 Trains No. 56 Boston Express v1a Waterbury, leaving New York at 2:OO D. m and No. 276 leaving New York at 2:1S D. m. will be combined between New York and Hartford, leaving New York at 2:15 D. m. The train will leave Hartford at 5:25 p. m. running on the same schedule as at present to Boston.
 Train No. 55 leaving Boston for New York at 200 D. m. weekdays via Hartford and Waterbury will have schedule twenty minutes earlier to Hartford, leaving there at 5:02 D. m. and reaching New Haven at 6:O2 D. m and New York at S:10 D. m.
 Additional changes are being con- sidered by the management. The com pany is attempting to interfere with the convenience of the public as little as possible and many of the changes announced are being made with the public interest in view. The need to conserve fuel and the urgent necessity for expeditions movement of freight is a1l-important in the cOuntry's war preparations, and the discontlnuance of S2 trains last week has made a change in schedules necessary.

creased from $900, 0O0s 00Us fnf 1912 to approximately $2,4O0,0oO,000 in 1917. Imports from Europe fell off more than 100000 in the period 1912 to 1917, while those from other parts of the world increased about $1,50O, O00,0O0 in the same period
 As a natural consequence of this change in the currents of trade, es- pecialiv the great reduction in mer- chandise from Europe, the share of the imports entering by our Atlantic Coast ports in 1917 was but about 69 per cent of the total merchandise inn ported against "A per cent in 1913 and TT per cent in 1910. On the other hand imports entering by the other ports especially the Pacific Coast and Northern border greatly increased. The value of imports en- tering through the Pacific Coast and Northern Border ports has more than doubled since 1913, while that en- tering by the Atlantic ports increased but about 50 per cent. The share of the total imports which entered by the Pacific Coast and Northern Border ports has more than doubled since 1913, while that entering by the At lantic ports increased but about 50 per cent. The share of the total inn ports which entered by the Pacific Coast and Northern Border ports in creased from IT per cent in 1913 to 23 per cent in 1917, while that en- tering by the Atlantic ports fell from practically "A per cent in 1913 to 69 per cent in 1917. Oriental trade now prefers the Pacific route.
 On the export side conditions are reversed as to the relative port ac- tivities. The cause which resulted in a reduced flow of merchandise from Europe to the United States, the war, created a large movement of mer- chandise from the United States to

BARLEY FLOUR MAKING
INCREASE IN STATE

California is a large producer of
barley, more than 35,000,000 bushels
being the 1917 crop in the Sacramento
valley. Three months ago there were
but few barrels of barley flour in
California, and those had been import
ed from abroad for the making of in
fant food. But Sacramento has started
a barley flour industry, milling many
thousands of barrels in September,
and the Sacramento Chamber Of Com
merce has launched campaign to
promote the manufacture and con-
sumption of barley flour as subst'
tute for wheat. Among the products
now handled in the trade are barley
flour, barley brown bread, barley pan
cake flour, and barley flakes ,groats
and grits. Analysis Of California bar
ley flour at the University of Califor-
MIA indicates that it compares very
favorably with fine flour from Cali
fornia white wheat.

CONGRES IN IMPO-

MINIS TRAITOR GAR
FIELD.
President Remaining Calm,
Says He Feels Sure the
Country Will Be Con-
vinced of the Necessity
for the Order.
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Jan. 18.-America is
feeling the pinch of war perhaps for
the first time under the fuel admin
istration order closing industries to
relieve the coal shortage and release
fuel for ships loaded with supplies for
the army and our Allies.
Fuel Administrator Garfield signed
the order last night in the face of
protests predicting disastrous conse-
quences and after formal request
from the Senate for its suspension.
It is stated officially that the pres
ident is not considering interfering.
He feels certain the country will be
convinced of the necessity of the or
der.
iRenewed attacks were made in the
Senate today. There was mingled re-
sentiment because of Garfield's disre-
gard for their request. and senators
desired themselves quoted as being in
state of "impotent Indignation" Sem
ator Smith of Michigan said the Sen
ate should "rise and clip the wings
Of those who seek to exercise an au-
thority which was never intended to
be given"
The order was modified to permit
all munition plants to work to full
capacity.
Only one ice plantwas allowed to op-
crate, il each city. Twenty-three Of
the largest steel mills were allowed
to operate, provided they devoted their
full capacity to government work. The
Food Administration exempted" evry
sort Of food agency.
A flood Of exemption applications
were received from woollen plants
making cloth for soldiers uniforms.
Senator Smith of Georgia received a
letter dated today from Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield stating the ruling
does not apply to newspapers and
other industries operated by the use
of hydro electric power"
A renewal Of attacks was made in
the House by Representative Snyder
Of New York, who denounced the re-
strictions. He said the president made
a fatal error in permitting Garfield
to issue the order, which, he de-
clared, meant utter chaos, want and
suffering.

GERMANS AND
RUSSIANS ARE
FARTHER APART
Agitation in Petrograd for the Dis
continuance of the Peace Farley
With the TeutOns Grows Apace-
Soldiers in the Petrograd Garrison
Are Becoming More Divided.
BY Associated Press)

London, Jan. 18.-Russian news in
the morning papers fails. to indicate
clearly whether the Constituent AS
sembly will meet today, as previously
reported, and give no additional in
Formations on the Rumanian situation
and the escape of the Gar.
Petrograd dispatches indicate that
"a ferment in the city is likely if the
Assembly meets. The Alliance for the
Defense of the Assembly is preparing
large demonstrations and issuing ap-
peals to the people in the streets. They
are conducting an agitation in the
military barracks and among crews
of warships on the Neva.
| The News correspondent says the
trouble is almost certain to excite
the feelings of the soldiers in the Pet
Irograd garrison, who are reported as
becoming moe divided. The govern
ment cannot place the same reliance
on them it did month ago. Condi-
tions in Petrograd are described by
various correspondents, who suggest
that the people are likely to seize any
opportunity to express discomfort.
Food is sometimes impossible to Sc
cure.

SPEAKER URGES
LESS OPTIMISM
Clement G. Clark Tells High School
Pupils What Is Expected of Them
to Help Win the War-Says Ger
many Is Far From Beaten and That
Allies Losses Have Been Heavy.

Having returned from a speaking
tour around the American training
camps, Clement G. Clark gave the
students of the High School a force
full picture of the spirit of the war
as it is in the training camps and
outside of the Valley.
Mr.. Clark said that the people of
America have not yet grasped how
completely and in deadly earnest we
are in this war.
"The war is so far from US, and the
apparent superiority of the Allied
powers, leaving the impression that
the war will soon be concluded" he
said, ''has lulled our people into a
restful optimism. The Germans are
far from beaten and the Allies have
already lost heavily in the war;"
In conclusion. Mr.. Clark appealed
to every one of the High School STU
dents to do their bit, whether actrual-
ly in the military service of the coun-
try or in an economic and financial
way.
