 Nov. 2s, 1917.
 Dear Aunt: By this time I think you know that I have crossed the water. We are now Somewhere in France.H We had a wonderful trip and I cer- talnly did enjoy it. The weather was ideal except for one or two days.
 Hardly anyone was sick. l surely hope that will have chance to make the trip again under different condi- tions. On account of submarines of course everybody was a little nervous, but all the way over we did not sec anything that looked like one. From what I've seen of France I like it very well. but of course have been many places that I like better. The people here and their ways are much different from the American way and we see many strange sights. I cnly wish that I could speak French. It would come in handy. It is rather hard getting along without it, but by making all kinds of motions with our hands and the shaking of our heads we manage to get along fairly well. I | this country, but do not suppose there will be a chance. The training we are l getting here naturally is somewhat l different from what we were getting in the states and it is also a little harder.
 | Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and we are to have real Thanksgiving din- ner with turkey and all the fixings. Oi course I will not enjoy it ns much as if were at home. but then 1t Is g long while since I have spent thai tday at home.
 The pound of tobacco that I put away before left wish you would send me as good American tobacco i: scarce over here. Any newspaper. you have I wish you would send also There are many things that I hay, seen and many things that have hap pened that I would like to tell yo, Iabout but of course cannot on ac count of censor; so you will just hay, to wait until get back to tell you al about them.
 H hope you will enjoy Thanksgivin, and as 1t will take several weeks fo this letter to go over I will wish ev terybody a Merry Christmas.
 It is rather hard to write lette here on account of not being able t say what one wishes to, but vii write you every week even if I onl, say am well. I will hope to hea from you soon.

STATE DEPARTMENT HAS
 NOT BEEN INFORMED
Regarding the Reported Arrest of Members of Railway Mission in Russia

Mempefs or Hallway Mission in Russia
 Washington, Jan. 1.-No word from official sources had reached the state department tonight regarding the re- ported arrest of members of the Amer ivan railway mission at Irkutslz The departments communication with Rus sia has been yer yirregular, however, and officials would not be surprised if the report we9e true. An inquiry will be sort to Ambassador Francis at Petrograd at once.
 Although several railroad units, each comprising several hundred men, are in Siberia, to assist in improving con- ditions on the trans Siberian railway 1t is thought that only a few could have been at Irlzutsk. They probably are scattered in small detachments along the entire route.
 that the railway mission was about to withdraw and return to the country but the state department has indicat- ed that the men would be kept at their posts and that although recognition of the Bolsheviki regime is withheld, there is no disposition to curtail the work of railway rehabilitation begun under the Kerenslzy provisional gov ernment.
 The American embassy at Petro-
 grad reported to the state department last Wednesday that Charles & | Smith, a member of tho railway mis-
 sion, had been arrested at Tchita, Si- beria, but had been released after ] few hours of detSntiop. Earlier news
 despatches from Ru5lfa said that Mir
 Smith had been taken into custody
 while in company with M oustrou. golf, former assistant minister of rail- ways in Russia, who was arrested b5 the Bolsheviki because of his previous
 relations with the provisional govern. ment.

FIRST COAL RIOT
 IN NEW TORY CITY
Several Hundred Men, Women and
 Children Participated.

New York, Jan 1.-With another day of bitter cold and intense suffer- ing from the general fuel shortage, New York had today it's first real coal riot. The disorder began when several hundred men, women and children. who had lined up outside large coal yard at 18th street and the East Riv- CT, discovered several loaded trucks leaving the yard after announcement had been made that there was no coal for sale
 Some of those who had been wait ing patiently with pails, bags, small wagons and baby carriages, at once began to stone the office windows. Others followed the trucks, unlocked the rear chutes and seized the coal that streamed into the street. Police reserves were called and succeeded in restoring order when representative of the coal company announced that coal would be sold only in small lots. after certain hospitals had been serv- cd

FOUR CHILEAN SAILORS
 IN STREET FIGHT
Two Received Knife Wounds in Clash
 Late Monday Night.

A fight between four Chilean sailors in which knives were used, was staged in State street, New London, at a late hour Monday night. and as a result two sailors received wounds serious enough to necessitate their being taken to the Memorial hospital, where their injuries were attended, and on Tuesday they were released to be talk en to the cruiser Chacabuco.
 Patrolmen Fitzgerald, John Cava- naugh and Frank Geer were ordered to hurry to State street, as a fight was in progress, near the municipal build ing. When the fighters saw the po- licemen coming, they picked up one of their number who had been ren- dered unconscious, and fled through Green street, turning into Golden where they dropped the unconscious sailor, and made an effort to eiude the, policemen, who were pursuing them closely, but before they had reached Bank street they were caught
 The injured sailor whom they drop ped, was badly cut about the face, and his nose had been broken Fhe other sailors were cut about the arms and body. They were taken to police head. quarters, from where the two most SC. riously injured were removed to ths hospital. Shortly after their arrival a the institution it was necessary ts place the sailors in straight jackets as they were partly intoxicated, and not being acquainted in American ways the situation in which they found themselves, caused them to bt boisterous
 The two sailors who had received but slight cuts. were detained at tht station house over night. and Tuesday morining were in the New London DO. lice court. but they were not presented the case having been continued unti Saturday.
 The men gave the names of Donin go Oliyero, sailor on the Chaeabuco and Louis Periiz, a sailor on the Chil can submarine H-4
 What instigated tn etrouble has no been learned. But the fact that all tn, men were under the influsnce of Ii quor leads to the suppesition that the, had begun a New Years celebration from which drunken discussion arose, which led to the fight.

COMPRESSED AIR
 PLANT HAS TROUBLE.
Forced to Shut Down Tuesday Because
 of Low Water.

The compressed air plant at Taft vile was forced to shut down Tues day owing to the lack of water and trouble with the wheel used for rais- ing and lowering the gates. Several of the local factories are equipped with auxiliary compressed air motors which could have been used on Tues- day when the electric power was shut of, but owing to the trouble at the compressed air plant they were forced to shut down altogether.
 The plant will be in working order by g o'clock this Wednesday, morn ing. As there has been little or no rain during the past six weeks, the water in the Quinebaug river is very low, and on Tuesday the Jewett City mills were shut down, so that took away the usual supply of water.
 Owing to the lack of water seveyal departments of the U. s. Finishine company were forced to shut down on Tuesday. The lack of water is ex- plafned by the fact that many of the mills north of the city shut down foi New Years day and the water that usually comes through the gates wal held up back of the dams.

NORWICH WITHOUT ELECTRIC POWER
Marn-R Plant Had to Shut Down at Noon Tuesday -Ony One Carload of Coal at Municipal Electric Plant.

Local factories using electric power will be cut off again today, as there is not enough coal at present at the local plant to warrant the using of the electricity as motive power, according to an announcement made by Supt. s. J. Kehoe. It is the intention of the local plant to conserve the coal which it has so as to be able to supply power enough to run the street lights and furnish lights for the homes.
 Tuesday afternoon a carload of steam coal was received at the local plant, but with only that amount of fuel on hand it was not deemed advis- able to turn on the power at local faca tories today. Supt. Kehoe announces that more coal is on the road, but it is uncertain as to when it will arrive, but it is hoped that it will get here before the present supply is exhaust : ed. One carload of coal amounts to about 70. or 80 tons, and the local plant uses about 35 CT 40 tons a day, so the present supply would only last about two days at the most.
 At noon Tuesday local factories were notified that they must shut of their machines using electricity. Among the plants forced to shut down were the Winchester Woolen company, the largest user of electricity in the city; and the Marlin Rockwell company
 which is the next largest consumer | Many of the employees of the Marlin Rockwell company who work on the l night shift went to the plant Tuesday evening but were informed that there
 was no power.
 Tuesday evening the bug light cir.
 cults in the city were not turned or
 and at midnight the power was turned
 off from the main circuits in the citj
 and the city remained in darkness al night long.

SCHOOLS WILL NOT
 OPEN UNTIL JAN, IA.
Action Taken by School Committee in
 View of Coal Shortage.

It has been deemed advisable by the local school committee, owing to the present coal shortage in the city, to extend the regular Christmas vacation one more week. This will make the opening of the winter term fall on Monday, Jan. If. On Saturday, Jan. 13s the fires will be started in the fur naces to see if everything is in proper order.
 To get in the required number of school days in the school year it has been decided by the school committee to omit the weeks vacation at Easter time. The schools will close in June at the regular time. As there will be large call for school children to do garden work, the same as last year. it has been thought that the emitting of the Easter vacation would be decided ly better than continuing the schopl year a week in June.
