 Danielson's new auto chemical for the fire department will not arrive here at the earliest until the last of the year. Chief A. P. Woodward has received notice from the builders at Columbus, Ohio. that the machine that was all ready to ship to Daniel son was one of five communicated by the government, and it may be on it's way overseas now for all anyone her. knows. This thing has happened to numbers of cities and towns during the war period and some Danielson soldier lover there" may yet have the experience of young man from Massachusetts who wrote home and told his people: Tt sure did surprise me and thrill me to see big Sea grave truck, inscribed City of Nal den" go shooting down a street in French town one day" The truck had been taken by the U. s. government at the factory where it was built in Columbus.
 A communication received here on Friday should ease the minds of those who have been worrying over the su gar supply. One of New York's great est sugar commission concerns in it's regular letter received here Friday sets forth plans for lifting, in con- siderable degree, the ban that has been placed on sugar distribution for more than a year. Tie letter states that sugar certificates will be issued beginning December 1. on a basis of four pounds per month per person. The letter declares that sugar shipments will be prompt, indicating a liberal supply on hand. A dealer who holds wholesale license here said Friday afternoon that he expects to receive a heavy shipment of sugar iii the near future, perhaps a carload. If this is obtained action will at once be taken to relieve the sugar shortage among erocers in the town of Kiliingly, par ticularly in the villages of Dayville ard Goodyear.
 George p. Berris has a letter from his cousin, Private Nicholas Pappal- emberris, just reported dead of wounds, in which the soldier predicted that he would be killed in the battle that cost him his life. The letter is written in Greek and sets forth in clear unimpassioned manner that the battle was to be the most desperate 1 ill which his regiment had been en- gagged; that he did not expect to come out of it alive and that under no cir cumstances would he retreat unless ''Iny officers shoot me to oblige me to come back" Again he repeated what | he had writtan hPfa~0-+N~.+ GN vas ready and willing to give his life for his adopted country. -Ie wrote ot how he had arranged for the division i Of his insurance money $10.000 on q government soldiers policy, between 1 his mother. who was to receive S2, COG and his two little sisters, to receive $4.000 each. All of these dependents are in Greece and he had heen send 1 ing money to them regularly as he could since coming to this country.
