Women Here Sho1u
Lassitude in Work,
English Women Fear

Women OF England feel that Amer

forces, according to Miss Beatrice
Picton- Turbevill, member Of the hous-
ing department of the British Min
istry Of Munitions, who is now in this
country TO encourage united effort on
the part of American women.
1--WE do not understand how you can
consider wages or living conditions or
anything except the need of the pres
cnt moment. Perhaps its American
women realiaed the plight of British
womanhopd to-day they would be
cuicfor to meet the situation as thcs'
should
IN England VIC have ono million
women in the munition factories doing
every kind of work, even to the max
Ing of cordite, the most powerful and
dangerous Of explosives. They arc

That is the minimum forced upon us
by necessity. But British women can't
work any moro than they do now with
out complete ruin. That is why they
look to America to take part Of the
burden OF production from their
shoulders.

British woman, who is in charge Of th c
welfare of 5000 workers in the fac-
torres of Coventry, that our woman

are clamoring for help, but there is no
more to be had. Women Of England
have as truly gone away to war az the

any home. As Il matter Of fact, most
home sare empty.
Perhaps il you could hear the guns
as We do you American women would
be more anxious to have a part in this
war. But there is one tie that W..
nave IN common, and that is the sol
dier IN the trenches. Every British
woman works with all her might be

IN the United States this same condi-
uon prevails, too. and every woman

LAND FOR GAME PARK
 IS GIVEN TO STATE
filling C. White of Litchfield Gives 2OO0 Acres Without
 Restrictions

The State Park Commission has recently received for the State two valuable gifts of land for park pur- poses, lying near the eastern and western boundaries of the State.
 The first gift from Miss Sarah B. Fay, of Woods Hole, Mass, a for mer resident of Pomfret, lies in the town of Pomfret, on or near the Mashamoquet Brook just osuth of the Hartford and Providence Turn pike and is composed of two tracts. One about Il acres on the easterly side of Mashamoquet Brook, includ- ing very beautiful and irregular gorge, with fine stand of old native hemlock, and a smaller tract of three acres fronting on the Turn pike and watered by a small tributary of the Mashamoquet, known as the Sap Tree Run, with a stand of red and sugar naples and other hard woods. To this gift the Commission has added by purchase some 24 acres of adjoining land including g plantation of young pine and front age on both the turnpike and Mas loIllOquSI bIOOh.
 The second gift, from the White Memorial Foundatin of Litchfield, comprises a single tract of two thousand acres in the northwestern part of the town of Kent. It in- cludes about three miles of Macedo- mia Brook, with numerous tributary mountain streams, and two moun- tains over 1400 feet above sea lev el, with the slopes of several lesser heights. Cobble Mountain, on the west bank of the brook, 1420 feet, lies nearly on the New York State line, and was used as a secondary triangular point by the United States Coast and Geodetic survey previous to 1888.
 The tract is nearly all heavily wooded, with mixed hard woods pre- dominating, though a few scatter ing pines and hemlocks still remain visible rom the highway. The many ravin@s leading up into the mountains have not yet been explored by. the Commission.
 This magnificent tract of forest land comes to the State absolutely without condition, except that it is dedicated to park and forest pur- poses. Furthermore, as an evidence of continued interest, the Foundation offers immediate and substantial assistance in tree planting, care and protection of wild birds and animals, ad other practical measures for per manent improvement of the property for use and enjoyment of the public in making the gift the Foundation expressed the desire that it might be l Bird and Game Refuge, of which the Commission heartily approves, and notices will be posted at once ,~ch;hit;rC ell hunting within it's limits.

$15,0OO REALIZED
By the Famous French Band in
 Connecticut

Fifteen thousand dollars was real ized from the concerts given in this state in September by the French Army Band, according to an an nouncement made today by the Connecticut State Council of De- fense, under the auspices of which the band was brought here. The band was guaranteed $5,S00. While in Connecticut it gave seven indoor paid concerts. There were also several concerts out of doors, but to these no admission was charged.
 The Defense Council has learned from the French High Commission, which brought the band to America, that the bandsmen regard their stay in Connecticut as one of the most enjoyable features of their tour in this country. They have expressed appreciation of the entertainment and formal receptions accorded them in Connecticut, but said they were particularly pleased and touched by the numerous informal receptions and roadside ovations.
 All money received by the French Army Band from it's concerts, above expenses, goes to the Foyer du Sol dats, a French organization for the welfare of soldiers in the field and which is similar in function to the American army Y. Nj. c. A. The band is at present working for the Liberty Loan in New York state.

 The order to the boards explains that British subjects have the right of applying to the British ambassa- dor or certificates C4 exemption il they have 2lGilns under which ex- empticn from the British draft is al lowable. Practically the only reason in which exemption is allowable is in the case. of employees of British owned business firms in work essen tial to the war.
