10000 consignments per week. In adj

Great Britain has now 5,046 govern

Turning to the fleet, what shall I
say, what can say that will be at all

MUST NOT LIGHT WINDOWS.
Erroneous Impression Given Mer-
chants Concerning Monday Nights

erroneous Impression Given Mer-
chants Concerning Monday Nights
information was given the Herald
TINS morning by local fuel administra-
tor, James G. North, to the effect that
the ruling regarding IightIess NIGHTS
applles TO New Britain, this year, just
as it does to all other cities and towns
in the state. The ruling made NV tho
state fuel administration nrovidos
that store window lights must NOT he
lighted on Monday, Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday nights, no provi--
sion whatever being made for mer-
chants keeping their stores open on
any one of those nights. New Britain
merchants KEEP their places Of bust
ness open Monday evenings until 8
o'clock. This does not permit them,
however, to have their windows
lighted, as, according to the fuel adj
ministration, no exception is made in
any case. Last year, merchants were
allowed to have their windows lighted
on the nights the stores were kept
open, but such is not the case this
year.
Incorrect reports have been given
out as to the manner in which the
Hghtless night ruling affects New
Britain, inasmuch as stores are kept
open in this city Monday nights. The
statement issued in recent publica-
ton of the Herald, stating that the
ruling applies to electrical signs and
ornamental signs only and that on
Monday nights the stores may have the
lights in their windows lighted, was

form by the local Chamber of Com
merce. Some local merchants made
known the fact that the statement
was erroneous, and when questioned
this morning as to its authenticity,
Mr.. North stated that there was some
misunderstanding He stated that, as
far as New Britain is concerned, all
store-window lights must be out at
the hour specified in the ruling, on
Monday nights as we'll as the three
following nights.

New York, Aug. 3.-Tomorrow, Au-
gust 4, a stricken world will have en-
dured four years Of war and enter on
a fifth. How many more years will
the human race be called on to suffer
this agony? God alone knows. But If
it be not fmpious for a mortal man to
dare interpret the DEGREES Of the Al
mighty I do now most solemnly say
that, although this carnival of woe
may be permitted by Providence to
Hcourge us for months or years yet to
beaten to her knees. And why do L
dare in the same breath proclaim that
the issue rests in the hands Of the
Lord of Hosts and yet that l am con-
WINGED in my very soul that the only
outcome can be Germany's defeat?
This is my answer: If I believed 9TH
erwise I would cease to be a Chris
Sian; If I admitted the possibility Of
Prussian victory I would never again
believe that He who gave us the Ser
mon on the Mount died on the Cross
OF Calvary for mans Redemption.

lose all, the sheer sense of justice
which has ranged twenty other ma

nor less than foolish, even grotesque
blunders. Yet l laugh to scorn the
notion that I shall ever accept any
such theory-no, not till Millions re-

It has been estimated that Britain
has fought on seventeen fronts during
the past four years. One can readily
