The following letter from Earle L. Sparks. son of Mrs. Albert A. Sparks. has been received by Norwich friend:
 Received your Christmas present a few days ago. Thanks very much for the same. Spent Christmas and New Years on board ship. Sailed under the ---- flag. The food consisted main ly 'of. oatmeal, jam, cheese, pickles, etc, also tea, and plenty of fish. Guess they were sea gulls. We saw several schools of purpoises and sea robins, a bird. brown in color about the size of a rat, which flies along barely drill once and sometimes twice a day. We carried a life preserver with us wherever we went
 We had a calm, uneventful voyage, arriving in France we spent two days in a Rest Camp. Then treveled in match box cars to our present camp. We stopped at ofie station and were served coffee. Our ration on the train consisted of salmon, hard tack (great stuff, tomatoes and beans.
 . France or what have seen of 1t so far, is beautiful country with its small hanllets nestling in the hills There are plenty of hills here and steep. The quaint old stone houses with their red tiled roofs. remind one of pictures I used to see in Fairy Tales. The natives are pleasant and their language is quite easy to savy. We are billited in French houses and barns. There may be such a thing as Sunny France" but guess we haven't been here long enough to see it, all l though we have had some real warm spring weather. l We have motion pictures here every Tuesday evening and French class every Friday. One can buy plenty of figs; dates. nuts and cookies and soc- casionally candy.
 .Theer are about 17a men and five of fieers in our company and we are l feeding, pretty good. Have bacon boiled spuds, bread and gravy for breakfast and .'slunn'' (stew). hash roast and boiled beef, nacaroni. beans prunes, rice, apricots and other "tiel- icasies" for our other meals Now and then we have real butter and Karc korn syrup. This noon we had 9 whole pig for dinner, roast pork which cost about 450 francs. Five | francs is a dollar in French money 2 franc is worth about r cents in U s. coin. 57 francs is s100 in Americar money.

 The Liberty airplane, General Wood said, according to Senator Chamber lain. should be. used mostly in bomb ing machines.
 He thought the foreign motors having been tried and proven. should be used in the combat planes," said Sena tor Chamberlain.
 Strengthening of the army general staff also was urged by General Wood. So many former experts on the general staff, he said, have asked and been given work in France that, while General Pershing has splendid staff that in the war department has been depleated and should be built up for advisory purposes.

DR. KARL MUCK IN
 CUSTODY AS ALIEN ENEMY
Held in Boston Police Station For the
 Night.

Boston, March 25.-Dr. Karl Muck, leader of the Boston Symphony Or chestra, was taken into custody as an alien at his residence in the Back Bay district of this city late tonight. He was lodged at a police station for the night, and it was announced that, pending orders from Washington, he would be taken to the East Cambridge jail tomorrow.
 No statement as to the immediate cause of the detention of the famous orchestra director was made by the federal officials tonight. DT. Muck and the symphony orchestra have been under criticism since this country en tered the war, at first because of foil ure to play "The Star Spangled Ban ner' at concerts. Later the manage ment announced that the national anthem would be a feature of every concert and this plan was carried out Criticisms of Dr. Muck and other or chestra members also of pro German sympatties continued, however, not withstanding statements from the management asserting that the direc. tor was of Swiss birth.
 Representative of UI S. District Attorney Thomas J. Boynton and o Special Agent Judd Dewey of the de. partment of justice, as well as of tho city police took part in the arrests They waited several hours at the homt of Rr. Muck awaiting his return iron
 a social gathering and took him int
 custody as soon as he appeared. | was announced that he would probabl! i be taken before the United State'
 commissioner for an examination to l morrow. He was not permitted t obtain bail.
 1 An agent of the district attorney office who was asked whether an.
 special evidence of pro German acti
 witty had been found, replied that h.
 was not at liberty to say adding
 that Dr. Muck had been under sur 1 veillance for months.
 l .Dr. Muck was loaned to the Bostoi | Symphony Orchestra by Emperor Will
 liam in 1912 and again in 1S16. Un der his leadership the orchestra achi eyed worldwide fame. but in severa l cities recently engagements have beel
 cancelled because of opposition to hi l appearance as leader.

DELIVERIES AT BASE
 ARE UNSATISFACTORY
Naval Officials Want Better Service
 From New London Merchants.


 Mayor Rogers Is in receipt of the following letter, says the New London Day, which is self-explanatory: U. $. Submarine Base, New London, Conn. Supply Department. His Honor Mayor Rogers, New Lon don, Conn.
 Dear Sir: At the direction of the commander Of the submarine base, ] have the honor to invite your atten- ton to a number of difficulties which we have had in obtaining satisfactory deliveries of material at the submarine base. These difficulties have been en- l countered due, to railroad and ex- press congestion around New London and in many cases we have eXperi- enced difficulties in obtaining deliv. New London merchants. The difficult ty. as far as New London merchants are concerned can be overcome by encouraging them to provide them selves with means of delivery which is absolutely essential for the proper ,-eondueting of business between the government and the contractor. In many cases the supply officer after placing order with the contractor, has been requested to send the government truck to call for material being pur- chased. This method of procedure is naturally unsatisfactory as the govern ment~ truck is not always available and, furthermore, deliveries of mate rial should be made at destination by the contractor.
 The railroad and express situation as to deliveries. has been very unsatis- 1 factory. and in one. instance an ex- press car containing important ship 1al6 a{ { a, period of nine days before any ac- tion was taken to have same switched in to New London A number of other similar cases have been encountered l In the past two weeks, however, t1t | railroad situation has been greatly i'm. proved. due to the efforts of the new superintendent, Mir. Clarke of the New l York; New Haven 6 Hartford railroad at New London.
 ! In order to prevent delay in govern 1 ment work it Is necessary in man cases. due to non-delivery of material l 10 call on the local market at Ney 1 London for material which is holdin, up our progress.
 It can be readily seen that if tn. merchants would provide themselve will delivery facilities and, of course 1 with the satisfactory operation of tn 1 AVAit S,f q Et Cetl Oce1Ir V1 uSidy. .fTOulC. D | overcome and same would pror1ot
 commercial activities between Ney
 London and the submarine base.
 therefore request your co-opera tion in bringing this matter to tn attention of your merchants at Nes London and am certain that 1t wi
 help us to. accomplish our task nor
 rapidly and will promote efficiency. | Respectfully,
 John E. Daniels, Assistant Paymastel I U. s. Naby Supply Officer.

GERMAN DRIVE
tcontinusd Fron, P.s. ons.)

day as to the purpose of the Ger man leaders in pressing the main at- tack in the direction of Amiens, The capture Of Nesie, admitted by Lon don, indicates this to be the apex of the great wedge that is being forced into the British lines near the point where the British and French forces connect.
 The question raised was whether the German plan contemplated a swing to their right toward the coast, designed to hem up all British forces in a re- sbricte;1 field of operations with the channel behind them; or to sweep to- ward Paris to their left front As yet the developments 60 not indicate the ultimate objective of the assault
 Concentrating On Italian Front. One view expressed was that & blow elsewhere might follow the checking of the present drive or even accompany it, Advices from Italy have indicated enemy concentrations on that front for some time past. Attacks along the French lines do not appear to be more than feints at present, calculated to keep the French from weakening their l lines too far in sending supporting divisions to their left flank.
 Officers hare think the enormous ! forces concentrated in the drive at the British front preciudes the possibili- l ty of a major offensive by the Ger. mans elsewhere on the lines in France
