CHAMBERLAIN PROMOTED
Local Soldier Now First Lieutenant in Infantry Stationed in France Studied in French Officers Class.

Rodman Chamberlain, son of the late Judge Valentine B. Chamberlain, is making good as a soldier in the American Expeditionary Forces in France, according to information re- ceived in this city. At the outbreak of the Mexian border trouble in 1916, Cham berlain left with company I, C. N G., as a private and his work was meritorious enough to secure for him rapid promotion to second lieutenant.

He left early in the trouble for France with the 101st Infantry, and for the past few months has been studying in the French methods of war in an of ficers school. His new rank is now first lieutenant. He is a brother of State Treasurer Fred $. Cham berlaln, and was a football star in the New Britain High school and at William college.

70 CLOSE ACADEMIC
 BUILDING; NJ COAL
Pupils Going to Vocational High
 School for One Session
BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETS.
Only Two Days Supply of Coal lAt Old High School NeceSsitateS Drastic Action-Gity Also Short of Coal.

AcLlOn-slty ALSO snort Ot COai.
 So acute is the coal crisis at the High school that a special meeting of the school committee has been called for o'clock this afternoon to consid- CT the plan for closing the Academic High school building and sending both Vocational and Academic High pupils to the Vocational school on a single session basis.
 The coal strin@enCN elsewhere in the city is daily growing more serious and William G. Dunn of the City hall commission, states that the city has only two weeks supply for the city building. He expects, however. to re- ceive a carload of coal--sOmctime IL is likewise stated that several of the factories are already using the last of their supply chief among which is the New Britain Machine Co. and the Beaton & Caldwell Co.
 Special Board Meeting.
 Judge B. F. Gaffney of the school board has called a meeting of the committee for this afternoon for the purpose of bringing before the mem- bers the situation as it exists relative to the schools. At the last monthly meeting of the school board, attention was called to the fact that at the Academic High school there was only a small supply of coal available, but no action was taken and the commit tee waited in hope that a supply might arrive before it would be neces- Sary to take drastic action. Today 1t was announced that there is only two days supply at this school. Superin- tendent S. H. Holmes has been in with Christ chairman of the local fuel administra- ton, and has been informed that the outlook is gloomy and there seems to be no immediate prospects of getting l fresh supply of coal for the school. One Session Routine.
 As a result of this information it is likely that the school board will evolve a new plan of single sessions
 for both the Academic and Vocational
 High school pupils and com bine both classes in the Vocational High school
 building There is at present a fair supply of coal there. By maintain
 ing a one session plan for each group of pupils it is thought that a fair amount of progress can be made. It is considered more advisable by the school board to change to this sin gle session system during the emer- gency than to close the Academic High building and permit the pupils to have another enforced vacation. At the present time there are about 700 pupils enrolled in the Academic High school department. This is confined to the old High school building at the junction of South Main. Bassett l and Franklin Square. The Vocational | High building is in the rear, on Bas- 1 sett street and it is here, probably, 1 that all High school pupils will have l their class rooms for some time to come.
 i At the other school building there l is a good supply of coal and only at 1 the Stanley school has it been neces-
 sary to adopt unusual methods of
 heating At this school it was found l impossible to heat all the rooms to- l day, so several of the classes have 1 been combined.

 Washington, Jan. 28.-The necessity of arousing state and county officials to their responsibilities in assisting the government to break up the manu- facture of moonshine whiskey is urged on the governors of prohibit ton states today in a letter from In- ternal Revenue Commissioner Roper. The letter was made public as part of a nationwide campaign against illicit distilling recently announced by tho commission when it was discovered that the manufacture of moonshine was rapidly increasing in bone-dry states and was being sold illegally to soldiers in southern training camps.
 "Constantly increasing violation oe prohibition laws in several localities" said the appeal to the governors, "open defiance of federal authority and the apparent ina ability of the local police to cope with conditions are as founding and distressing. The morale of every army camp in these states is in jeopardy, due to illicit distilling and sale of whiskey. You will, I am sure, determine upon most practicable method of arousing your county off cials to their responsibilities and du- ties in cooperation with federal agents
 He also wrote congressman from dry states asking their cooperation and letters of instructions went for ward to internal revenue collectors. The cam paign has already resulted in arrests in many states.
