A tract of Il I--2 acres has come to the State as the gift of Miss Sarah B. Fay. former resident of Pomfret, but now of the town of Falmouth, Mass. A right of way through other land for a short distance permits ac- cess from the highway, but is not pas sable for autos.

Ten-fold Since

food crisis has resulted.
Japan is a country of large families
and with rice costing about $2S for
every five bushels, the head of the
family has to do some hard thinking.
Other food necessities. especially
sugar. which japanese use c%onsidera-
bly,. have risen in proportion to rise.
1t is the great middle class of Japan,
the people working on small salaries,
which is raising the greatest cry.
Although wealth has increased as a
result of the war, the real wealth Of
the masses has decreased and the
people Of Japan are relatively poor.
At the same time national tastes have
changed and the Spartan simplicity
of olden times is no longer endured.

It is not known or Is not revealed

mission of France for the return of

delegations were heard on the sub

no doubt that the War Department

That the soldier dead in France are
to be brought home as announced by
the War Department is regarded In
Congress and elsewhere as due TO a
popuar demand that overruled the
opinion Of the War Department.
The War Department has not aban
doned its idea, however, that 1t might
be just as well to have a great ma
tional cemetery in France where the
remains Of the heroes might repose.
Secretary OF War Baker said today
that the first to come home would be
those who had died in hospitals"
and the large percentage of those will
be from places outside of the old war
zones where many other thousan nds
are buried. 1t is estimated that the
number covered by the War Depart-
