ENGLAND AND Y. S.

Canadian Premier Says These Two
Nations, Acting Together, Can
Save Humanity.

London, Nov. 29.-Sir r. L. Bor-

Of the American society today, ap-
proved of the plan to form a league
of nations, but insisted that England
and America are able to command
the peace OF the world by acting to-
gether. He said:
Let us have league Of nations.
if it can be realized, but at least let
us have that understanding and unity
of purpose and action between the
two worldwide English-speaking
commonwealths which will save hu-
manity in years to come from the un-
bearable horror, suffering and sacri-
flce of a way such as this.
United by ties of race, language,
literature and tradition, the nations
of the Britannia commonwealth and
the states composing the great Ameri-
can republic can command the peace
Of the world They could have COM
manded it in July, 1914, if they had
given Germany their joint Warming
They. therefore, stand answerable to
the world for the responsibilities i'm
posed upon them.
"By their overwhelming rcwer and
unequalled influence. neither nation
can divorce itself from these respon-
sibiMties. Let no minor considera-
ton, no petty rivalry and no unwor-
thy distrust divide those who, united,
can command the worlds abiding
peace"

DRAFT BOARDS WILL
SOON BE DISMISSED
Work Will Be Ended When Records
Are Completed-Second Board
Through January 1.

The work of the draft boards has
been finished and nothing further is
left for them except the completing
of their records. The boards will not
be used in the rehabilitation of the
army and will be discontinued as soon
as possible. The following is the
Wordiag of a telegram received by
the local boards from the office Of
the governor:
The secretary of war has COM
municated to the provost marshal
that draft boards will not be neces-
sary for the demobilization of tho
army. Wire this office Immediately
at the earliest possible date that your
records can be completed and the
board discontinued. Definite instruc-
tions will be sumbitted in the near
future. Signed, HolcOmb, Governor"
This means that the local draft
boards which have done such efficient
work during the period of the war are
about to go out of existence. 1t means
that a service which was instituted al
most over night and organized as it
grew, is about to be discontinued.
New Britain has been fortunate in
having two boards which We're such
excellent examples of efficiency. The
local boards have done their work
we'll and their records will prove later
that this city did it's share in the Sc
lective service line. The clerk Of
the second district board stated this
morning that his board could probab-
ly have all it's records complete and
all work done by aJnuary /. 1919.

WILL MODIFY SUGAR
RESTRICTIONS SOON
Four Pounds Per Person,
New Rule, Effective
Next Week.

New York, Nov. 29.-The sugar
divisions of the U. S. Food Admins
tration throughout the country will
begin to demobilize about Decem Der
Is, it was learned here today, in an
ticipation of the arrival of Cuba's su-
gar crop in January. Modification
Of restrictions affecting consumers will
become effective early next week.
The sugar divisions, which have
complete control over distribution by
refiners and, through the refiners,
over distribution by wholesalers and
grocers will on December 1 discon-
tinue their certificate system under
which sugar has been allotted to man
ufacturers and dealers as a war time
measure to conserve this commodity.
Manufacturers will, however, be re-
quired to limit their purchases each
to a 80 day supply until the free ar
rival of the Cuban raw sugar about
January 10 or Is.
While restrictions on use Of su-
gar in public places will continue in
effect for the present four pounds of
sugar will be allowed to each person
each month in the homes, beginning
Monday or Tuesday. This, it was de-
clared, was the normal consumption
prior to the war. The present a,llot-
ment is three pounds.
The sugar division had not intend
ed to relinquish control until the end
of the year but the decision was
reached today that the situation had
SO improved that the mobilization
would begin two weeks earlier.

out of Plainville car and received
several bruises. Returned to his
home after receiving medical atten-

Henry Wasserman, cut by glass;
bruised and general shock. Taken to
his home on Garden street.
About a score of others, passengers
in both cars, and people waiting to
board cars in the "aisle of safety re-
ceived minor injuries, mostly from
broken glass. The occupants Of both
cars we're thrown upon the floor or
against the sides of the car when the
impact came.
Denies Criminal Negligence.
An investigation is being made to
determine the responsibility for the
accident. 1t is a known fact that the
rubber cube which is placed in the
switch to direct the course of the
trOlleys, had been removed before the
PIainville car came into the center.
Without this cube, the switch will
move from one side to the other at
the slightest touch of the wheels, and
because of this condition of the
switch the front truck of the trolley
took to the Arch street tracks and
the rear truck rounded the corner,
swinging the rear of the Plainville
car against the Pennington avenue
car with great force.
superintendent r. L. Beardsley
stated last night that upon investiga-
ton it has been found that the en-
ployes of the company are not guilty
of criminal neglect. 1t was rumored
that the conductor of the Pennington
avenue car had neglected to replace
the rubber cube after diverting his
car to the tracks around the corner.
This is, however, denied by the super
intendent and he further states that it
is the work Of someone, probably :.
boy, who did not realize the import
ance of this cube.
