s6> PER CENT. COAL SUPPLY FOR THIS CITY IN SIGHT

Martin E. Jensen, chairman or the local fuel committee, makes the fol- lowing official statement upon the present coal situation in Norwich:
 At the present writing Norwich has received, or has in sight, about 80 per cent of its estimated anthracite coal supply.
 There is and probably will continue to be a shortage of No 1 nut and stove coal; it is therefore urged that egg coal be purehased; even though it has to be broken with hammer.
 Local coal dealers have been asked to put out No. 1 nut and stove coal sparingly for stoves and ranges.
 All domestic consumers are now en- titled to two thirds of their coal, but they must use some egg. some No. 2 nut or some No. buckwhcat small CT.
 A dealer finding that some of his customers refuse egg coal may de- liver to his other customers two ad- ditional tons of egg coal, even though these custmers may have received two thirds of their full order.
 It will greatly aid the dealers to have customers communicate 'thtlr ,secds immediately.
 AS substitutes for domestic sizes of anthracite coal there may be mention cd again that Norwich has a good supply of wood, No. 2 bucllwheat, or- dinary bituminous coal, screened can mel coal and boulet.

Nine teams of women will begin this CSaturday) morning the weeks drive here for the sale of war savings stamps by canvass of the city to bring Norwich up to it's quota of $600,- 600 and teams of Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts will also do their part to realize the goal.
 On Friday afternoon a. o'clock the teams had meeting at the head quarters in the Thayer building, where Mrs. Arthur Harfey Lathrop gave them their final Instructions and all were impressed with the importance of do- ing their best to see that Norwich comes up to what has been expected of her by tho treasury department in assigning such a figure as the quota here. Renewed emphasis upon the inn portance of the drive too was added by an announcement from the treas ury department on Friday that this is no time for the American people to slack up in the purchase of war saw ings stamps because the money needs of the government are still immense even though hostifities across the seas have ceased.
 All purchaes of war savings stamps from now OH represent 1-2 per cent. investment, and utske these a SOHeTIlluent SudIdnLeeu ftHroSgIneut Of great attractlyeness, whether bought in single units of S423 or in many in- times that mount.

FRIENDS CANNOT BELIEVE
 CHARGE AGAINST R, G, HOLME!

On all sides among the many friends of Royal G. Holmes the utmost conf dence was expressed on Friday that he could not be guilty of the assault upon Capt James Lennen, for which he was released under $500 bonds after his arrest on Thursday night. His hitherto unblemished reputation pre- cluded in their minds any possibility that he could have committed the act with which he is charged.
 Mir. Holmes was represented in the police court on Friday morning by Attorney J. J. Desmond when the case was called. Captain Lennen had not been able to leaveA the hospital, and Attorney Desmond requested con tinuance, stating that Mir Holmes was sick in bed at home. It is understood that he is suffering a nervous collapse as a result of the accusation made against him. The case was continued to Dec. 20.
 Attorney Desmond stated that he had long known both Captain Lennen and MT. Holmes and had been cog nizant of the friendly relations, and, like all the rest of the friends of the accused, was dumfounded at the ac- cusation made against his client. On account of his own health, he said, he had not been able to see Mir. Holmes personally on Friday and he had no further information as to his physical coalition.
 The police authorities said there had been no new developments in the case and as far as they were concerned il was apparent they considered the evi- dence which is in their possession 1 sufficient.
