TREMENDOUS TONNAGE

A full realization of the extent to which
Americas troop movements to France de
ponds on tonnage have come not only to
this government but to the allies as we'll,
and it has been indicated in official circles
that one of the chief topics at the recent
session of the supreme war council at Yer
salles was that of finding ships for that
purpose. A big American army is sub
stantially ready to go, but before it is sent
the war department wants to be assured it
can be supplied. Ships are available to
transport the men; the problem is keeping
them furnished with materials with which
to fight.
A million men on the fighting front will
require, according to the best estimates
available, from four to seven million tons
Of shipping in continuous service across
the three thousand miles of water between
America and Europe. The United States
can Law its hands on about four million tons
now and expects to build during the year
anywhere from three TO six million tons.

Into the endless stream of traffic
are poured the products of labor.
LAUNDERING OK carts share pavement
with the speedy motor delivery. A
gigantic truck towers over a bicycle
messenger, while pedestrians crowd
ing the sidewalks carry the more
portable merchandise.
Even in the city congested traffic
can be seen the effects of war. Over
to one side, sandwiched between a
pudgy limousine and a roadster that
looks like it must be tied to keep
still, is an open van with @. M. c..
stamped on its side, while a pair of
canvas leggins disclosed beneath the
top dispel any further doubts that
the onlooker may have as to the iden-
tity of the vehicle.
Then there are a copule of blatant
f1ivvers between the army bus and
the trim touring car bringing up the
rear. At first glimpse it looks like
a torpedo boat destroyer ashore.
Surely that is a bluejacket at the
helm, and the port and starboard
lights shining red and green even
in the sunlight. A swish as it slips
out of line and speeds up the street
past the slow moving line, and there
is a flash of gold braid and the
navy crest on the door, as the COM
mandant's motor car passes.
But all this is not show in war,
nor gold braid in the navy, and as
though to show the significance of
the glitter a great truck towing
trailer heaves into view. 1t is heav-
lily curtained, and the tremendous
crates it is hauling are covered with
canvas. The wind f1ips one corner
of the covering back and there. IS a
fleeing glimpse of "Curtiss Ae.,
plane Company" stenciled on the
box.
Life is motion, and transportation
is the heart of modern warfare.

GENERALIZATION. ,

As days pass and the war grows
older the vast INTERPOLATION of activi-
ties becomes more apparent. Hardly
any phase OF life is left untouched
by the hot breath of the conflict. In
those first weeks of spring, when
the Giant of the West was buckling
on armor to defend Democracy,
Americans were admonished of many
things. On every hand was someone
seeking to impress upon the mind of
the public the necessity of certain
measures.
With characteristic de1fberation a
great people set about testing each
and discarding the bad. In this way
1T has been possible to concentrate
the. nations energy along certain
lines. In wedding out the unfit the
problem has been simplified, but fur
ther Capitalization is necessary to
prevent waste motion and squander-
ing of resources.
Beginning at the bottom, with the
little things, in certain scattered
Localities, this process is gradually
taking place. AS it grows and civ
ilian war work is combined and uni
fed. it is to be hoped that it will
gradually spread to the fountain
head of authority and combine the
nations strength.

INGALLS, MUST STAY
 IN STATES PRISON

Burton L. Ingalls,, who was sent to state prison from New London for forgery of checks and who was incar- cerated there, made application to Judge E. L. Smith of tlIe Hartford county court of common pleas, for discharge under process of habeas corpus. Judge Smith denied the appli- cation.
 Ingalls,, under the decision must stay in prison until December Srd, He centended that the term for which he was sentenced expired on September 18th. The question was | whether 7S days Ingalls, was held in | the New London county jail after | sentence and before he was removed 1 to state prison should be counted in his favor.
 Ingalls, had previously been in 1 state prison and he was paroled at a 1 time he had 16S days of the sen tence to serve. He violated the | terms of his parole. and after he was receiyel at the prison to serve the sentence imposed on isim in New London county, he was first put to serving out the sentence of 168 1 days before he was put to serving the sentence imposed on him subsequent to his being paroled. It was 7S days 1 after the sentence was imposed that he was taken to the prison. and the warden made no allowance to him i of the 7S days. Judge Smith takes the view that there was no evidence
 before him that the detention of
 Ingalls, in the New London county
 jail was at the request of the war
 den, any agent of the warden, ol
 the board of parole. If that had ap-
 peared in the opinion of the judge
 the 78 days should be credited tc
 Ingalls,, but any irregularity by the
 failure in not removing Ingalls, tc

 position of the subsequent sentence

FOR USING
 BUCKWHEAT IN FURNACES

M. B. Jensen, the local fuel adminis- trator, issues the following directions on how to burn buekwheat coal in do- nestle furnaces:
 No. buekwheat, with a little care, can be burned successfully in connec- ton with the larger sizes of anthracite When banking the fire for the night spread small amount of buekwheat over the top of the fire, being careful to leave a thin bright spot at the side or back of the fuel bed! In mild weather some buckwheat may be used during the day. A bed of ashes should
 be carried on the grate to prevent the line coal from running through into the ash pit. The amount of buekwheat which can be successfully burned will depend upon the draft available and the care exercised in firing, but there
 should be little difficulty in using one shovelful of buckwheat to four of the
 coarser eoals.
 Where the draft is strong, it may be possible to burn a much larger pro- portion of the small fuel. '1-Storage. Provide "a place for buckwheat coal in your cellar, either a separate box or coal bin. Don't mix it with the larger size coal. Have a place for each size.
 2-Day Mixture. Fire one shovelful  kof buckwheat to three or four of larger size.
 3-Nisht Mixture Use more buck wheat than large coal when banking 1 fire at night. The buckwheat coal will
 keep well and will not give out as
 much heat. Find by trial how much | buckwheat coal you need to keep fire all night. Find by trial how to set the | dampers to make the fire keep. Don't close furnace until the flame appears
 on top of the coal.
 4-Straight Buckwheat Coal. With
 a furnace of ample size and good draft buckwheat coal can be burned alone with good results. Start the fire witt | wood and large size coal. New gratee
 are not needed. Shake down ashes
 when fire is hot. Stop shaking asf when first live coal appear. Always 1 leave some ashes on the grate. Buckwheat coal will replace from l.
 to 30 per cent. of the larger sizes. I will pay you to try, it.

NEW HOOVER CARD To
 DIRECT FOOD SAVING

Because of the prevalence of inf1u- enza, the Food Administration has postponed until the first week in De- cember the general distribution of the new Hoover home card which was to be distributed to 100000 Connecticut families the last of this month The new home card contains the funda- mentals of the food administration S intensive conservation programme for the coming winter and the aewspapers of the state are being asked to em- phasize the fact that because the home card distribution must be post poned, continued conservation in ev- cry kitchen remains a military neces- sity.
 The improved military situation is no reason for relaxation of food con . servation by anybody but, on the con trary, the splendid European develop ments emphasize the need for contin- ued and increased conservation be- cause the evacuation of invaded Bel gium and France imposes on the food administration the responsibility for feeding additional civilian popula tion in those starving and devastated districts.

REGISTER FOR AIS
 NORWICH BOYS OVERSEAS

The Red Cross is delighted with the response to the request for registra- tion for Christmas cartons. Four hundred and seventy-fve names have been received. Among them were some of the boys in the British and Canadian armies. The Red Cross re- grets that it cannot send to them, but the cartons are only for the men of the American expeditionary force, to each of whom has already been given label to send home These labels, which are probably on the way now, must be presented in order to claim a carton. The chances are that each boy will send his label to his next of kin. In that case, those who have registered for friends will not receive a label and will not be able to send anything unless they can combine with the boys family.
