 ARE SENT REGULATIONS
New Ruling Will Go Into Effect On
 Monday. !

Copies of the United States Feul Administration regulations for the retail distribution of coal for domestic use in the coal year 1918-1919 have been forwarded to local fuel admin istrators by. Thomos w. Russell, fuel administrator for Connecticut. The regulations which will be compulsory for both retailer and consumer, will be strictly enforced beginning April 1. Among the penalties prescribed are a $5 900 fine or two years Imprisonment ter both.
 The national fuel administration urges the purchase by domestic con- sumers of coal and coke for necessary requirements as early as possible to effect delivery of as much coal and coke as possible before next winter. The general plan is to secure the broadest and most equitable distri- button possible in each community during the year.
 Under the general plan local fuel commission should urge every con- sumer to place at an early date with his regular dealer his written order for his reasonable requirements for the year ending March S1, 1919. De- liveries will be made on such orders until the consumer has received two-
  provision being made that orders of six tons or under may be filled iii full. When all consumers, who are willing to accept delivery, have received two- thirds of their annual requirements dealers will be permitted to deliver the balance of such orders. Bitu1nin ous coal for domestic use may be de- | livered up to the consumers normal 1 annual requirements, the two-thirds delivery provision applying only to anthracite.
 The consumer who cannot place ar order with any dealer is advised tc communicate with the local fuel com mittee who in such cases will en- deavor to secue a supply. A weekly l statement or deliveries is required o1 the retailers, the statement to be filec with the local fuel committee. ] Under the regulations there are si1 district provisions affecting dealeri 1 and consumers. The consumer is for bidden to secure more coal or coki 1 than his normal needs for the yeo and the retailer is forbidden to suppl. i coal or coke beyond the normal nee( of the consumer.

They are both of paramount importance to the financing of the war. The Lib erty Loan campaign is primarily tc obtain the many billions of dollars necessary toward paying. the expenses of war and lending to our allies.

ALLOW BOYS TO M
 ENROLL IN RESERVE.
Direct Appeal frcn President Wilson
 and Governor Holconnb.

An appeal goes out directly from the president of the United States and the governor of Connecticut to each mother and father in this state that parents lend their, sons between 16l and q years to the national service for the summer by allowing them to enroll in the United States boys work ing reserve for productive labor on the farms.
 The boys are not asked to shoulder a gun and fight beside their brothers
 on the bloody battIefelds of France
 The call, which should prove irresist- ible to every loyal boy, comes from the, peaceful pursuit of husbandry. IL is their opportunity to give the nation the service most necessary to win the war. They are asked to go upon the
 farms and help produce food. The food they raise will go to the soldiers in the trenches and the training camps, for their own families at home and for l the men, women and children in the cities.
 4 million and a half mothers and l fathers have given their, sons to the
 hazards of war as Americas contri- i button to the world struggle for de- morcacy.s The. high. school lads are 1 asked to enlist in a service which has no hazards but only benefits. The
 humble task of producing food has 1 been exalted to patrioaic duty. Boy patriots working on the farms will be
 better off physically for summer of outdoor effort. None win be tried I beyond his strength. All will be watched over. They will be- paid for 1 their work. None will lose anything ! in school credits. And all who go will 1 have the satisfaction of serving their country we'll l Mothers and fathers are urged to give their sons every encoura cement to enroll in the United States boys
 working reserve High schools, the 1 '. M. c. A. and private schools have
 enrolment blanks
 1 Every boy who wants to help Amer ica win the war is assured that he can
 serve better on the farms than any Iwhere else. Gaps left by the with
 drawal of farm labor for the army
 and intuition industries must be fill ed. Able bodied boys can step into these broken ranks and solidify Amer ica's food army. Parents are there fore requested to make it easy for their boys to enlist When the young soldier of the food army returns home this fall they will be proud of him.

AGAINST JOINING
 WoMAN,s NATIONAL LEAGUE
Organization is Said to Be Unworthy
 g of Support. $.

Connecticut women who have re- ceived' invitations from the Woman's National League at Washington to be- come founders of local branches are being advised by the Connecticut State Couicol of Defense to have noth- ing to do with the proposition. The council have received a letter from the National Committee of Patriotic Societies in Washington, D.. C. 'tp which it turned for inforrnati tion when the matter of the Woman's National League came to it's attention, contain ing the statement that the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense has said that this Woman National League is unworthy of sup port.
 This matter was brought to the at tontion of the Connecticut State Coun cil of Defense through a woman liyinf in Hartford county, who was invited to become a founder of local branch of the Woman's National League, and an investigation was made.
 The Wornan's National League wrote from Headquarters in Washington on stationery containing the names of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, Mfrs. William G. McAdoo, Dr. Anna H. Shaw. Mrs Mabel T. Boardman, Mrs. William Jennings Bryan and others "nou1inat- ed'' for the executive council for 1SiS 1 The aims of the league were set fortf as being three. embracing educational social and financial .bettermert. Clui houses for local organizations havins | 150, members, exclusive use of "a grea national educational institution to Hb' established and divided sharing cer tificates. which will pay an income to. the holder for life" are promised il the leagues literature. The require n1ent is that each founder must obtain twenty other members who. must eacl hecome a subscriber of the Woman
 Ma gazire at 25 cents per gear.
 It. Is stated in correspondence re
 ceived at the Connecticut Stat Council of Defense that the Woman
 National League has been -eporte'
 to the department. of justice and t postal authorities.
 Under it's plan. of giving out inform ation to it's local agencies through
 out the state of war finds which ar
 worthy of support. the State Coun
 cil of Defense conducts many investi cations of this character.. " Its pur pose in passing resolutions severa months ago advising people of. tn state against contributing to unau lthorized causes and funds. was to if'o tect them from fraud and make it pos sible for them to bs certain. befor making contributions, that S'leir gift
 would be devoted to a legitimat

RETAlL MERcANTs MEET.
Consider Benefits of Private Telephone
 Line to Submarine Base.

The policy of a private telephone line from Norwich to the submarine base was discussed at meeting of the retail merchants bureau held Fri day morning in the Chamber of Com merce. Chairman w. L. Stearns pre- sided and told the members of the bureau of the disadvantages of the present line of communication, which is through the New London exchS@ge. He also told of the benefits that a private line direct to the base would be for Norwich merchants. The off, cials at the base as well as the South ern New England Telephone company consider this measure a war necessity and the line would be of an immense value.
 It was voted that a committee of five, to include the chairman of the bureau, be appointed to make the necessary arrangements for the estab- lishment of this line. The members of the committee besides Chairman Stearns are Henry G. Peck, Charles D. Taylor, Charles I. Smith and Edwin Hill.
