The guilty dogs khave been discovered and destroyed They belonged ro ". Baldwin and his foreman. Wilkes Willetts of Green wieh. The damage is estimated at stS5 as the animals were 0: e-ncy breeding.
 Many Greenwich people have been ,rSying sheep and goats to graze on Their extensive lawns. but unless something can be done to curb the predatory and unlicensed dogs in that part of the state, there will not be Fmuch gain either to the owners of the sheep or to the country at large.

BOSTON EPIDEMIC WAVES.

Boston, Oct 4-Pneumonia and influenza are on the increase in Lowell, Fall River and other indus trial cities in this state while, the number of cases within the Boston metropolitan district has remained virtually stationary during the past few days This is the conclusion of the State Department of Health on re- ports from all sections of the com monwealth yesterday.
 "In those places where the disease first appearedNhe epidemic has reach ed it's peak or Is slightly diminishing, !" said Dr. D. w. Carey, of the Health Department. "In cities and towns where 1t was late in developing, how ever, the spread of the disease has been most noticeable.'
 Dr. Carey believes that even in the latter places the preventive measures being taken will result in holding the disease in check. Dr. c. E. Simpson. of Lowell. in charge of the work iu the city, telegraphed for more nurses, saying that the demand for trained workers had been so great that it had been impossible to take care of all cases. In answer to an appeal from the Emergency Health Committe more than q school of school teachers reg istered for service.
 Smith College sent hurried call to the State Health Department yester- day for more nurses. Sudden increase .here demands the presence of a larger force of workers" the tele- gram said. It was believed that an additional dormitory would be open ed to care for the increase. Reports received at the State House yesterday from 83 cities and towns outside of Boston listed 1924 new cases of influenza and 151 deaths, New Bedford reported 1,034 new cases since yesterday noon, Bridgewatel 97O, Fall River 9O7, and Lawrence | 2S3.

MUST SAVE IN USE OF WOOL
 THIS WINTER

Though no real shortage is to be feared in the supply of woolen cloth or clothing this Winter, the country is warned by Bernard M. Baruch Chairman of the War Industries Board, against mistaken belief that there will be a surplus of free wool over Government requirements Such a belief might arise through mis- construction of statement issued by General Wood, Acting Quartermas- ter General, in summing up the needs of the military forces to July next. In several instances this was inter- preted as meaning that the wool sup ply was above the demand. The statement referred to the f.ot that no shortage of clothing need De fear ed, because of the large stocks of fin ished clothing and cloth now on hand.
 The woolens section of the War h. dustries Board, which has thorough understanding with General Wood, issued statement that there is at the present time no free wool available its warning that there must be con- | servation of wool and of all things made of wool for long time to come to prevent serious shortage and real distress. This warning applies par ticularly to the use of cloth and cloth ing now made up, which will be difficult of renewal when the present stocks are exhausted. | It is announced in a statement is. sued by Herbert E. Peabody, Chief of the Woolens Section of the War l Industries Board, after conferences with experts of the Wool Section an6 representatives of the woolen indus try, that no program for future ci- william consumption can be underta. ken at this time. Wool must be i'm i ported to meet Government needs and until there have been such i'm. portations and a surplus is disclosed no plans can be made for civilian needs.
 The following is from the an nouncement issued by the Woolen! Section:
 "The public statement of the Act ing Quartermaster General, in whicI he has disclosed the wool require ments for the Government for the pc riod July 1, 1918, to July 1, 1919 brings many inquiries as to wha wool may. be available for civilian consumption. It may now be defin itely stated that at present there i no wool available for civilian alloca tion. The Acting Quartermaste General discloses the fact that larg quantity of wool must be importet to meet military necessities, and unti such importations have been mad in amount to cover Government need program for future civilian con sumption cannot be undertaken a this time.
