TRIP To HARTFORD
so CENTS ON MONDAY
Three Cents Per Mile Plus
Eight Per Cent.
War Tax.

Beginning on Monday next the rail-
road fare between this city and Hart
ford will be three cents per mile, plus
per cent additional war tax, maxi
ing tho total fare one way between
28 and 80 cents. This announcement
was made today On the entire sys-
tenn the railroad fare will be changed
to Il flat rate of three cents per mile
plus the s per cent. extra war tax.
The fare between Bristol and Hart
ford will be almost prohibitive since,
under the rate effective Monday, it
will be raised from 20 cents to about
5S cents one way The order has also
been given that tickets purchased
prior to next Monday will not be good
under the new rates, as everyone rid
ing on the train after June must
pay the increased fare. Communication
books will also be increased in price
by the addition of 10 per cent. Mile
age books will also not be good after
Monday, but the railroad will refund
all money due on them at the time
The fare between this city and New
Haven will be greatly Increased,
since the three cent per mile law will
affect that as we'll, and to this will be
added the per cent. tax. The fare
between this city and New York will
likewise be materially increased
Probably that which will interest
local people the most however, is the
increase in rates between this city and
Hartford. Thousands Of New Britain
peope go to Hartford every week, to
their places of employment, to the
stores or theaters. Not only will it
have an effect on the number of peo-
pie who will hereafter patronize To-
cal merchants more, but also it will
have q material effect upon the num-
Der of New Britain people employed
in Hartford stores, offices and factor
les for with the greatly increased cost
Of travelling it may be impossible for
some to maintain themselves. This
will mean that many will either have
to move to Hartford permanently, or
else secure employment in this city.

WANTS REASSESSMENT
Mayor to Ask Common Council for
Permission to Engage Three Men to
Work With Assessors on Grand List

Mayor Quigley stated today that at
the next meeting of the common
council he will ask authority to ap-
point a special committee of three
men to work with the board of as
SCISSORS in going over the entire grand
list and assessments Of the city With
a view to reassessing all property on
a more equalized basis. The mayor
outlined this plan in his annual mes
sage and now seeks to put it into
effect.
In addition to getting permission to
appoint such a committee, the mayor
will also have to ask for an appro-
priation, as the job will be a big one
and will take at least six months. Ac-
cording to the mayors ideas, some
property in the city is assessed al 100
per cent. valuation, as it should be-
while other pieces of property are not
assessed at full value. These discrep-
ancies are due to the system in vogue,
and an entire reassessment is neces-
sary, he believes.

MAY LAUNCHINGS
MAKE NEW, RECORD
II HuIIs of 3tI,io0 Tons Dead
Weight Launched Last Month
Hostile Submarines Believed Lurk-
ing in Deeper Waters in Wait FOR
Bigger Game Following Raid On
Coasting Vessels.

Wa shinston, juno 7.--Senator
Swanson, acting chairman Of the
naval committee, after conference
with navy heads today declared that
the allied and American naval forces
have destroyed 60 per cent. of all Ger
man submarines constructed and that
. they have cut shipping losses in half.
Ship launchings in May, like dc
liveries, set a new record. Seventy
one hulls, totalling 344, $50 dead
weight tons, were put into the water.
Thirty-nine of them were steel, with
a capacity of 22S,75 tons, and 80
wood of 115,700 tons.
The May Iaunchings exceeded April
ty rs ships and January by SIS ships.
They also exceeded the highest
monthly average of the United King
dom made IN 1913 With a record Of
1O2,931 tons. They lacked only ST.
S8G tons of equalling the American
launchings for the entire year Of
1901, the record pre-war year in
American shipbuilding.
U-Boats Lurking in New Fields.
Belief that the German submarines,
which early in the week successfully
attacked coast Schooners and steamers
off the New Jersey coast are now ly-
ing in wait for larger prey in one of
the transatlantic travel routes off the
Virginia Capes, was expressed in Of
ticial cIcea here today. This theory
was strengthened by the torpedoin g
"Wednesday Of the British steamship
Harpathian, $50 miles off the Vlr-
ginia coast news of which was an
nounced in navy department des-
patches published today.
~ Having, as the Germans believed,
struck fear into the hearts Of Ameri-
ca through depredations near the
ports of New York and Philadelphia,
it was probable, officials said, that the
I-boat commanders have decided to
make bolder effort and despite the
multitude of patrol craft engaged in
the search of them, make a supreme
effort with a transport or large cargo
or passenger carrying vessel as the
prize.
: In the torpedoing of the Harpath-
ian, the raiders struck without warn
ing and apparently at an armed YES
sci. The navy department had not
received word as to whether the ship
was armed but expressed the opinion
that it was, as all British steamers

made today by American marines on

being as successful as this morning S
assault. The marines reached all
thei1 objectives selected for the first

German 1Iasscs Moved Down.

One of the toughest Of all the OBJ
ie ctives, Bclleau wood, some four
miles from Chateau-Thierry, was
swept by the marines without serious
trouble.
There seemed reason to expect
German counter-attacks In strength,
before long The roads behind the
German lines are filed with troops,
guns and wagons, but the American
artillery & turned on them and created
havoc.
The marines in their forward sweep
took strong ground on either side of
Bclleau wood and cleared out the ra-
vine south of Torcy, which linked up
the line with hill 1f2. which was
taken this morning. This gave them
a strong and dominating position for
Il continuation of their attack. Their
total number Of prisoners was not
known this evening, but additional
captives were brought in after the
NJ norning attack, which netted about
one hundred prisoners.
Prussians Glad to Surrender.
A notable development was the low
morale of the prisoners, all of whom
are Prussians. They expressed them
selves aS tired OF the war and glad to
get out Of the fighting. This was
despite the fact, they say, that they
are furnished with food, although the
S@Xons, the Wuertcmberg troops and
others may go without.

that they did not put up a fight this
morning, for their officers were

From Center Of Ball.

There is a best way of winding wool
for knitting and that is the way that
cause the wool to unwind from the
center. To do this roll a piece Of
stiff paper two and n half inches long
by two inches wide into a tube. Meas
ure off about eight inches of wool at
the end and begin winding the rest
about the tube. When enough has
been wound to hold the tube securely
tuck the eight-inch loose end complete
ly into n end of the tube. Do not
cover this end in further winding, but
the other end may be covered. 1t is
best to wind six or eight times in one
direction before turning to wind in
another direction. When the skein is
completely wound tuck the last end
well into the ball. Pull out the tube,
bringing with ii the long loose end for
knitting. If many balls are wound at
once or if a ball is not to be used i'm

DON'T SELL YOUR BOND
BY HAROLD A. LAMB
Of the VIouantes,

Your Liberty bOnd-whether 1t Is for
$50 or $5,OOO-is your savings. To
sell 1t Is to lose your savings. The
longer you keep your bond, the more
valuable it Is going to be.
1t does no good to Uncle Sam to
subscribe to his loan, and then sell the
amount of your subscription. Many
Of US have strained ourselves to buy
the bonds, and necessity may force
some of us to get the money back.
But the way to do this is not to sell
a bond. Dishonest sharpers will take
your bonds and give you, say, $50 for
the 800.
If you must have money, 60 to a re-
liable bank or broker. They will lend
you 500 on the 500, and the interest
on your bond will nearly pay the in
terest on the money they lend you.
Then by paying the loan, you can have
the bond back.
Uncle Sans securities are making
money for you while you hold them.
Two years after the war ends they
will be worth-it Is estimated-$11O.
II the war ends in three years or un-
der you will then be receiving 6k
per cent-on the safest investment In
the world!
