BUY WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

1.-The money invested in War Savings
Stamps is not gift or donation, but
is loan to the Government" says j.
II. Puelicher, War Savings Director,
compound interest. If, because of some
serious financial reverses, or calamity
it should be necessary to get your
money before January 1, 1923, you may
do so by giving ten days notice to any
Money Order postmaster, in which case
you can get what you paid for the
Stamps, with interest to date of pay
ment. The Stamps are free from all
State and local taxes; when registered
at the postoffice they are insured d
against loss: they are backed by all the
property in the United States; they
cannot fall in value below the price
you pay; they are as convenieet and as
well paying an investment as has ever
been offered by our Government.
"A definite quota of War Savings
Stamps has been assigned each school
district and community, which will be
announced at each meeting on June
2Sth. The Government of the United
States expects all the citizens of every
school district and county to subscribe
for its quota and to pledge themselves
to save and economic to help win the
war.

FUEL FOR FOREST COUNTY

Repeatedly the Fuel Administrator
has requested the placing of orders
with your dealer as early as possible.
These orders are reported and arrange
ments will be made to supply them as
far as possible. 1t is expected that a
supply of Anthracite coal for this Sec
tion will be available at docks in couple
of weeks. The greatest difficulty ae-
cording to statement just received
from Wisconsin's Fuel Administrato or
who has just returned from the east, is
car shortage to deliver the coal from
the mines to the docks on Lake Erie
From these conditions it is very evil
dent that Forest County should utilize
all local fuel supplies as far as possible.
Burn wood if you can. 1t will be one
way of helping the Administration. 1t
takes the work of several men, rail-
road car, boats, docks, etc., to handle
the coal you use and remember that
only few consumers will use an entire
carload.
Further if we must have coal let US
as good soldiers at home look ahead
and do the best we can with what we
can get We may not be able to get
what we want. The method may not
seem best but we may not know con-
ditions. We are at war and the way
things look now we have a sure but
rough road ahead. Every American is
asked to do his share. Use wood if
you can save transportation, labor and
equipment for other war purposes. If
you must have coal order it early.

llTsllmen to Irishn1en,
tDetroit Free Press.l

tOelFOlL Free Press
 It is evident from the action of the British government in pla cing the task of recruiting in Ireland in the hands of a civilian committee, in- stead of intrusting it, as heretofore, to the military that voluntary en- hstment Is to be given fair chance to prove itself before any attempt to apply conscription Is made.
 In this single factor we see the pest nope of peaceable settlement : of the Irish home rule-conscription controversy that has made it's appear- ance on the horizon in the past two months. An added cause for the brightest of hopes is to be discovered Tn the personnel of the committee that has been chosen to make the ef- fort to raise, by the voluntary svs- tenn, enough of Erins sons before October to avert the necessity of more drastic methods.
 Sir Horace Plunkett has done more. perhaps, than any other living Irish man to contribute to the present comparatively high prosperity and material well-being of Ireland. Ste phen Gwynn, grandson of smith O'Brien, the Irish rebel of 184S, will appeal as a conciliatory influence to the men who are prone to repeat the unsuccessful efforts of his forebear Arthur Lynch is a romantic figure who proved his devotion to his pecl1- liar ideas of national liberty by fight Ing with the Boers against the Brit 1sh, He was sentenced to death, as was Sir Roger Easement, for high treason. but his sentence was com muted by the king to one of life i'm prisonm ent: he was eventually par doned and lived to sit at Westninst CT as member of the British parlia- ment
 The choice Of civilian workers. in stead of the military, would seem to be one that the situation in Irelard has long demanded. The British army has played too large a part in the tragic history of the country to be used with success as an instru- ment for even voluntary recruiting
 On the other hand, a civilian com m1ttce and especially such a one as has been appointed, will come before the Irish people with quite as good if not better, claims 10 the attention and the confidence of their people as have any who may oppose their efforts. They are mon of balanced intellects who, much as they sympa- thize with the Irish point of view have kept their eyes steadily on the larger issues at stake in the great struggle. If they cannot accomplish the task that has been set them it will be conclusive proof that nothin E short of compu1sion can be relied upon to do so.

NEW SUGAR RESTRICTIONS
Every Man. Woman and Child in the State Affected by Limitations Placed on Consumption Beginning July i.

Hartford, June 25.-Practically every person in Connecticut is affected by the latest sugar ruling of the food administration. Soda water fountains and ice cream plants, together with a number of 2ther industries which use sugar, have Tor six weeks been getting their sugar on certificates, issued upon sworn statements of their require ments. Now every large handler of sugar is to be included and the pub lie, either in public eating places or at the stores. will be compelled to limit their consumption to three pounds per person per month.
 Under the new regulations hotels and restaurants, all bakers and all re- tail grocery stores will conie under the strict certificate regulations for the three months beginning July 1. Ac- cording to a telegram received from Washington, refiners have been in structed not to sell any sugar, after July except on certificate basis Be sides statements A and B, statement C will be for public eating places; state ment D for all classes of bakers; Statement-E St for retailers Dealers be- tween retailers and refiners will pass certificates along through channels of distribution to rCfinerS. Statement A, 50 per cent. allotment for July, August and September; statement B, as be- fore. except tobacco, transferred to A, 30 per cent. ice cream, Q per cent: statement c, hotels, three pounds per 90 meals served; statement D, 70 per cent. of sugar used in June multiplied by three, or same months last year, users option, basis for July, August and September: statement F, approxi- nately threc pounds per person per month, on an estimate of retailers needs, considering purchases in April May and June as basis.
 There arc now three classes, based on 100 per cent. of requirem ents, 75 per cent. of sugar used during a pre- vious period, and 50 per cent. of sugar used during previous period. Per- haps the most important change is the lacing of ice cream manufacturers on 75 per cent. basis and the transfer of tobacco from 100 per cent, basis to a 50 per cent. basis.
 Instead of issuing certificates for the whole quarter at the first Of July. the food administrator will issue at that time only one-third of the ccrti- flcates. About July 20, he will issue to the manufacture the second third of the certificates which they are en- titled to, and about August 20, the final third--the idea being that if all the certificates are issued at once there will he a rush to buy sugar which might overwhelm the reflners.

The Fear ofs Autocracy.
tNeW Haven .TOurpal-COurier.

iJ Congressman ,5chuS Ter Merritt of this state, in his talk before the alum I'll ot Yale, at their meeting Tuesday morning, gave expression to the fears that have oVertak@n him, and many others who have not given voice to them, as a possible consequence of the concentrated poWc- which has pe"n given the government for the prosecution of the wlr He did not speak in a spirit of a critic, but rather in the tones of a thoug htful statesman, who dreads while not despairing of the enforced suspen- sion of conventional democratic safe guards.
 MT. Merritt does not pretend to possess more magic panacea for the prosecution of war than the govern ment has hit upon. H does not undcr- take to say that any other course than the one followed would have been pos~ Slble since war conditions compel Us to fight fire with fire. Ii is against the possible continuance of that course, in however slight a degree. after tho war that he raises his voice in warning. He takes us back to what should not be forgotten, W hat ever our success in the war is that the greatness of our country has pro- ceeded from individual initiative and rot from the government. He is probably right in his view that the fra1ners of the constitution would turn uneasily in their graves if they were to learn of the powers that have been conferred upon the execu- tive branch of the government by the congress- but we suspect. never theless, that upon further tnforna- ton they, too, would find no escape from acQuiescenCe. That they would view the possibility or likelihood of autocrattc practices being grafted on the democratic tree in the years to come. with any greater content tment of mind than MT. Merritt has we cannot believe.
 AS the cards He for the moment upon the table, there is good reason for warning against the possibility of an autOcratic fang attaching itself to the democratic bird Of freedom. But as the cards are likely to lie upon the table, in the approaching days of rcconstruction, we shall expect to find disappearing cause for warn Ing. The men who will have fought by the million to save the republic and keep men free, the great major ity of whom will return, will fight asaln If necessary, this time with their ballots. to keep both the re- public and the citizen free There is much moro to fear in the way of socialism, autocracy's handmaiden, from the attitude of heads of public service corporations, like that of tho Western Union Telegraph company, than from the government and the ambitious men if creates.

Campaign Managers Urge Public
 to Contribute More Literally

good deal of vigor must be put If New Britain is to come up to tho mark set of $1,25O,000. Reports to- day are far below the necessary pace to attain the goal. The total amount received in pledges from the house. to house canvass up to today is S2f.- 493.14, and there is an additional s6.- pOO- reported from the factories This puts the thermometer on the bank building up to s4S5, ,O31.s3. Like the road to Tipperary there is a long ways to go to reach $1,250,00O and a short time left in which to travel. It means that everybody must speed up everywhere. The slogan, after a con- terence at Headquarters among the managers this morning, as adopted was "Double up your ". $. $. pledge...' Ihat IS the only way to do, if New Britain is to keep up the reputation of doing things, which she has so handsomely won in previous drives
 The situation is very serious New Britain will fall down disgra cefully in this campaign if large number do not double up their pledges This means eVerybody--it means YOU.' A letter is being sent out this afternoon by Chairman F. C.. VibbertS of the house-to- house campaign committee to every canvasser impressing the vital necessity Of urging everybody to pledge his utmost. The canvassers are also warned not to be turned down by people who say that they have made collective pledge through a member of the family, who has been canvassed through the fac tory. The results of yesterdays cam Nass are tabulated by Fl. F. Erwin, the official rcciStrar as follows.

TWO BAKERIES "CLOSED."
Rockville and MiddictoWn Stores Arc
 Limited as to Production.

Hartford, June 25.-Two bakeries the New York Bakery, of Rockville, and kelley's Busy Corner Bakery in MiddletoWn-have been ordered by tho food administration to cease baking all products other than bread and rolls These two bakeries, with a number of other bakeries and hotels in the state,s have been given hearings during the past few weeks by Federal Food Ad- ministrator Robert Scovile on the charge of having exceeded their allot- ment of 70 per cent. of wheat four.
 When the bakeries were placed un- der license they were advised that the normal wheat consumption in this country had already been cut at ths mills to 70 per cent. and that this cut scale would prevail all along the line. Notwithstanding their own sworn fig ures of previous consum ption, many of the bakeshops throughout the coun- try have gone ahead and increased their business in the face of known wheat shortage, and the food adminiS- tratiou has refused to tolerate such practices any longer, unless whers there were eXtenuating circumstances or an obvious mistake in computation.

down the memorable words of von Bethmann- Holweg, who was chancel- Tor when Belgium was invaded They can make the world believe only that which the chancellor himself de- clared when he admitted that Ger many was doing great wrong by violating Belgium's. neutrality.

 We wonder whom will Germany next blame. Will she make the rounds again and try to fasten the guilt on France or England once more, or discover some way whereby the Cnltcd states can be proven guilty of having started the war? Whether or not they attempt to place the blame on the United States, one thing Is cer- tain; This country did not start the war; but this country WILL END IT. It will end the war when the Hohen- zollerns have been taught that they he yoke and that Prussian militarism must be abolished.

Not all German neWspa per com m ent on the American part in the great war IS diSdainful or maliciously false. Common sense rules in at least one sanctunl of the capital of the empire. Speaking of the pace at which the United States is driving its war re- sources, the Berliner Tageblatt says:
 Tt is essentially war carried on with the business calm of the Aneri- can, and now that the decision has been taken with all his creative en- ergy, the danger does not lie in @ European international form of hate. It lies, rather, in the political tense ness in the country, in the purposeful ~coolness, in the all-em bra cing organi- zatiou, and the typical calm with which the American is devoting him self to the task of relieving the Allies, who would otherwise break down in the matter of supplies, while at the same time raising a great army
 That is a surprisingly accurate diag noss to find in Berlin. "Business calm" and 'purposeful coolness'- - could there be 8 better description of the way we wage war? Some of our own think occasionally that because we are not emotionally excited and historically noisy we are not ln earnest. Never was there greater mistake. He who makes the error knows little of our national record and the temperament of our people.
 It is suggestive to find that this American way of doing things for great crisis is now estimated by at least a part of the German press apparently the part that is not owned bcdy and soul by the Kaiserbund-stt it's real value. Others besides the Tageblatt know that the danger to the German dream of conquering the world now lies in that typical calm" which America shows as she goes about her colossal work, her great and chivalrous quest of freedom for man kind.
 Beware the fury of a patient man" was a good old maxim of other days. IT is as good today, and the Huns will find out the truth of it-are finding it out Uncle Sam is not a loud -nouthed bra w1er, but he generally finishes the work he undertakes. His "pUrposeful coolness' has already hit one mark in Germany. It will hit many more, and 1t will be a magnificent factor in slay- ing once and for all the dragon If military tyranny.
