BRIG. GEN. TRAUB ( ,6 UP
Commander of Brigade Including New Britain Soldiers Nominated for Major General by President.

Of more than passing interest to New Britain is the announcement from Washington that President Will son has nominated Brigadier General Peter E. Traub to be a major general as hundreds of New Britain soldiers are in his command, which consists of the 51st Infantry brigade, com- posed of the First and 1O2d Infantry and the 102d Machine Gun Battalion. Lieutenant Charles E. Hart, Jr., son of Charles F. Hart of the Stanley Works, is attached to General Traubs staff.
 General Traub has been in com mand of the 51st Brigade since the 18th Division left for France The prom otion was made purely on merit and is considered by army men to be a strong move. General Traub is one of eight men nominated for major generals and 43 nominated for brigadier generals.
 Col. George H. Shelton, son of former states attorney-general and Mrs. George R. Shelton, has been recommended by President Wilson to the senate, for brigadier general. Col. Shelton was born in Seymour, in 1870. After graduating from the  schools of that town he entered West Point Military academy from which he graduated in 1896. A few months after his graduation from the college he was appointed a mem Der of the staff of the Northeastern army divi- sion. He was soon promoted to chief of staff on which he served for few years Leaving the position as chief of staff he took the post as colonel of the 104th Infantry. When war broke out he was one of the first to be sent overseas. When in France few months his regiment was sent into the trenches and was awarded appointment as colonel he was in command of a training force at the Philippine Islands. Col Shelton is a brother of William l.. Shelton of this city.

U. 5. WAR BILL FOR FISCAL YEAR
 AMOUNTS TO $13,800, ,000, ,000

Washington, June 29.-The govern ment today closed its books for the fiscal year just ending-the first full fiscal year in the war-and Monday will open new annual records. Cabi- net mem bers and other heads of de- partments will make reports to Pres- ident Wilson covering their steward ships of funds and responsibilities for the year closing today or, technically, tomorrow.
 In government financial history the year will go down as a period of ex- pense hardly dreamed of a decade ago. More than $12,600, 900 is the &C., tual outlay since July 1, 1917, to meet the multitude of big bills run up for the army, navy, shipbuilding program, airp1ane construction, coast defense requirem ents, other government activ- ities, and the needs of the Allies, for American loans to finance purchases of war materials in this country. In peace times the government spent less than S1,000, 100000 annually.
 With the addition of the s1,2Oo, ,OOo,- 900 which the government spent in the three months of war preceding this fiscal year, the wars cost in money to date has been s13,SOO, 100000.

JAMES 5. NORTH MADE
 FUEL ADMINISTRATOR
E. w. Christ and A. N. Abbe Continue as Committee
 Members.

It became known today that James S. North, of Sunnyledge, has been ap- pointed fuel administrator for the city of New Britain, succeeding as chair man of the local committee Ernest w. Christ, who rendered his resignation several months ago. The appoint ment was made by Thomas w. Russell, federal fuel administrator for the state of Connecticut.
 The duties of the chairman of the local fuel committee demand an in- cumbent who can devote a large part of his time to the administration of the office. For this reason MT. Christ, purchasing agent of the Stanley Works, resigned, his duties with that concern interfering with his office as chairman of the fuel committee. Dur ing his tenure, he made an exception al official and brought system out of chaos, regulating the distribution of coal in this city where no regulation existed before. His inability to con- tinue is said to have been deeply re- gretted by MT. Russell, who immedi- ately began to seek a successor who could and would devote the same amount of time and energy to the of- flee as MT. Christ. He believes he has found the man in MT. North.
 As is customary, MT. North was per- mitted to select his own co-workers. He realized that William J. Farley, who was one of the original commit tee, would not care to continue as member of the committee because he has been appointed local food admin istrator, an office which will require the greater part of his time and at tention. MT. North asked MT. Christ and A. N. Abbe, purchasing agent of the American Hardware corporation. who was also a member of the ori- ginal committee, to continue on the committee realizing that they would be valuable in an advisory capacity. MT. Christ and MT. Abbe have agreed to this proposition.
 Mr. North is secretary and treasurer of the c. J. White Mfg. Co.

FIRST U. s. TROOPS REACH ITALY;
 MARCH CALLS WHOLE OUTLOOK GOOD

General March disclosed that the official reports from the Italian front place the number of Austrians cap tured at 1S,OOO and a large amount of war material. The line of the Piave has been entirely restored by the Italians and in some places has been slightly advanced.
 During the past week American &C., tivities in France have been local in character but official reports show that the Americans at all times and places have more than held their own, Gen. March said. Fine exam pies of individual bravery are coming in, he said.
 commenting on the return to Gen. Pershing's command of the fivo divi- sions brigaded with the British, Gen. March said it showed clearly the sue cess of the plan for using all facili- ties to givo American units their final polishing. It would not have been possible otherwise, he indicated to have secured so large a trained force for Gen. Pershing in so short a time.
New Britain herald., 1918-06-29

Washington, June 29.-The first American troops landed in Italy yes- terday. Gen. March, chief of starr, an- nounced today.
 These are not the forces sent by Gen. Pershing but consisted of units shipped from this country.
 The troops consist largely Of sanl- tary units but include other special organizations, Gen. March explained. On the whole, however, 1t is made up mostly of non-combatant units.
 The combatant troops will be sent by Gen. Pershing as previously an- nounced.
 General March had no announce ment to make today as to the total number of troops shipped from this country to France. tormal an- iouncement, he said, would be made later.
 Surveying the entire battle front, General March said the situation could be said to be extremely favor able to the Allies. He would make no comment on the indications of an impending German attack.

public treasury. and in June the run- ming expenses were greater than ever before, although loans to the Allies dropped to less than in any month since April, 1917, when the United States became a belligerent
 Including estimates for the last two days of the month not yet recorded, expenditures for June were about $1,5OO, 900, 900, or approximately the same as the record figure of May. Or dinary expenses for the month amount to about s1,25S, 100000, a new high record, and payments to the Allies were approximately $236, 900, 900, less than half the s500,0O0,0O0 which the Treasury usually has figured as neces- sary to finance the Allied purchases in the United States every month. Use
 of ships to transport troops to France, instead of for war materials, is con- sidered responsible primarily for the reduction of Allied loans.
 Owing to the big inflow of income and excess profits taxes this month, receipts for June have eclipsed all for mer records. From taxation and other minor sources of revenue, receipts are expected to amount to more than S2,- 250,000,000. Payment on Liberty (Continued On Ninth Page).

Aviators Score On Germans.

With the British Army in France, June 29, (By the Associated Press) Late last night and early today the Germans put down vigorous barrages along the sector north of Merville, but no further infantry action has been reported. Great fleets of air planes are constantly wheeling over hostile territory today and conducting bitter warfare against the Germans.
 What the German soldier thinks of the British aviators may be indi- cated by two letters taken from pris- oners. One letter written in May by a man in the Bapaume region said: "Enemy aviators have caused us a great deal of misery. They are in cessant night and day. They bonn bard the nam roads of Peronne, Ba- paume and Cambrai. One isn't safe anywhere
 Another letter recently written by a soldier in Peronne read: "We have nothing to fear from the enemy if it were not for his aviators.'

 and Goes Down CREW OF 35 RESCUED
Vessel Left Boston Thursday for Charleston and Jacksonville and Lost Way in Long Island Sound Fog-Tonnage Was 2,696.

Watch Hill, R. l., June 29.--The Clyde line freighter Onondaga, Bos- ton for Charleston and Jacksonville, lost her way in a heavy fog off here last night, struck a reef and sank in shallow water after her crew of 35 had been taken off. Life savers from the Watch Hill station, respond ing to a call for help, succeeded in taking all hands to shore. How the vessel happened to land on the reef was not explained by naval authori- ties, who obtained first reports from the coast guard station. The channel at the point where the ship struck long has been regarded as dangerous in foggy weather.
 Observers on shore reported this morning that the vessel was not en- tirely submerged as her masts were sticking out of the water.
 After coming ashore Captain Goog- inS endeavored to communicate with agents of the line, and it was said here that he and his men would be taken to New London. Conn.
