TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM SOLVED
 BY AUTOMOBILES
English Perfect System During War and Use It
 As Strike Weapon.

London, Nov. 3.-(By the Asso ciated Press) When the railroad mems strike tied up the transporta- ton system of England the Ministry of Food put into operation a scheme Of nlotor-car transport planned in de- tail during the war for use in case of German invasion. It worked so sue cessfully that there were was no suf. fering and virtually no inconvenience from lack of food. In the case of London 1t was a much bigger task than could face any American city because London lives a hand-to-mouth existence in absence of adequate stor- age facilities.
 When the decision to strike was announced the Food Ministry put int, effect a system of rationing as rigor- ous as during the war, marshalled the governments 5000 automobile trucks and closed Hyde Park, the wage earners' favorite place for protest meetings. The great park became a dumping ground for food brought from all ever the country. From there it was distributed to whole. saler-s of London. The operation moved so smoothly that on the sec ond day rationfng was eased a little and within week supplies wera plentiful. One the sixth day three fourths of London's normal supplies
 of 1000 gallons of milk daily Wal
 being brought in and distributed
 After few days Hyde Park pre-.
 scented a scene somewhat like an army camp and eventually akin to a
 circus ground at a one-day stand. Everything moved rapidly but there
 was little confusion Long lines of
 trucks, driven by army-trained men
 at the direction, in many instances,
 of army officers, desposited food a!
 several centers or loaded 1t for dis. tribution.
 Scores of women members of war auxiliary services, many of them still in khaki assisted the men volunteer workers in drivins the motor carl and handling lighter articles. The women also did an inense amount ot clerical work. Army discipline did much toward the success of the undertaking. The government h11 plenty of cars and more than enough willing hands for every job. The Ministry of Food still had a firm, grip on wholesalers and retailers as far as alIosting food was concerned This was a power conferred during the war and had never been relin quished.
 Several newspapers stated that the i railway workers did not appreciate l the governments resources. One la l Dor leader said the day the strike was i declared that England would face 1 starvation with a week Id the | government would be forced sur render On the seventh day of the strike high railroad official told The Associated Press that food was not 1 considered a compelling factor in the 1 strike.

DEMAND THAT FINES SINTERvENE
 IS NOT POPULAR

Helsingfors Nov. 1-(By A. P.)- General Mannerheim's letters to President Stapleberg of Finland, de- manding Finnish intervention in the campaign which General Yudenitch is waging against Petrograd, has caused a profound impression in Hell singfors, the center of the interven- ists, but it is too early to calculate what effect it will have on the coun- try generally.
 The letter has greatly stimulated the activities and hopes of those de- string intervention and has caused uneasiness among the elements op- posed to war. Government circles seemingly are unperturbed, the opin- ion being expressed that the letter will arouse general resentment. One government leader said to The Asso- ciated Press today:
 "The Films are stubborn people. They will not tolerate interference by a, man whom the country has so over- whelmingly repudiated.''
 Several others close to the govern ment accuse General Mannerheim of taking advantage of foreign pressure for intervention tof urther his own political aspirations, one of them say- ing:
 If Finland decides on war it is certain General Mannerheim will ex pect to head the army hat would be a logical step towards dictatorship"

WILL BE ABLE TO GIVE POWER
 IN TWO WEEKS
Connecticut Light S Power Go. to Employ 800 Work
 men Day and Night.

Confronted with a threatened coal famine growing out of the miners strike, officials of the Connecticut Light & Power Company, furnishing electricity to more than 26,000 cus- toners in Connecticut, yesterday dis closed plan to rush their gigantic new dam at Stevenson to completion within two weeks, barring interfer- ence, and continue production of elec- tricity by water power from the Hou- satonic River. A force of 500 work men and engineers will work night and day in an effort to prevent a cur tailment of electric service that might force big Connecticut industries to close down for lack of power. Power fUl searchiights are already installed at the plant under construction to facilitate uninterrupted work at night.
 Nearly 10000 tons of coal a month will be released for other purposes immediately upon the starting of the water wheels at Stevenson that are capable of producing 10000 horse- power, and coal costing $1,000,000 a year under existing prices will be quickly diverted to other industries
 When interviewed yesterday at his home in North Canaan, Vice-Presi- dent J. Henry Roraback of the Con necticut Light & Power Company said the company's plant in Waterbury, where electricity is generated by steam, had only a six weeks supply of coal on hand and the fact that the government was seizing coal ship ments for the use of railroads made it imperative that the greatest haste be made. With rainfall as plentiful as in the past few weeks, he felt that the 1,500-aCre basin behind the great dam, with it's capacity of 1,500, 900, 900 cubic feet of water, would be filled in less than a week, providing the her culean pressure required to move four generators of 10000 horsepower each. Capable of generating 6.60O volts, they will be stepped up to 66, 900 volts. High-tension wires have all ready been erected to Waterbury, tributed over an immense area in the state, including Waterbury, Nauga- tuck, Beacon Falls, New Britain, Sey- mour, Southington, Cheshire, Bran ford, Norwa1k, Greenwich and smaller places. Big factories are supplied with power in pra ctically all of these places, where tens of thousands are employed.
 MT. Roraback was unable to say yesterday if any coal consigned to the Waterbury plant of the company had been taken by the railroad admins tration while in transit, as has been the case with shipments consigned to several other Connecticut companies.

ROYAL JEWELS
 MISSING AFTER ATTEMPTED SALE

Paris, Nov. 3.-(By The Associated Press). - That crown jewels, the property of the House of Hapsburg, were offered for sale before the war was revealed today by the appearance of a diamond broker before Judge Cluzel. It appears that the then redgning house of Austria had decided to part with a superb diamond neck lace, the gift of Napoleon to Marie Louise at the birth of the King of Rome.
 A French society woman was asked to negotiate the sale. She had in- structions to operate with extreme caution, signing no bill of sale, giving no receipts. She appealed to a we'll known diamond firm Of Southern France, depositing the jewels with them for safe keeping. The broker served in the war and now has re- turned. The society woman however, claims that she received no account ing of the transaction. Since the arn1istice she says she has repeatedly called upon the broker to produce the necklace or the proceeds of the sale. This, she tol5 Judge Cluzel to- day he has failed to do.
 The broker says he is holding the necklace as security for expenses amounting to 30,000 francs which he has incurred in his attempts to ne- erotiate the sale.

SALOONS TO GET CHANCE ON LIFE:
 NO HARD STUFF

D. New York, Nov. 3.=The corner saloon is to have a future after all. The "To Let sign is to come down and a welcome" is to shine forth in its place. Once more the glasses will clink and the cup that cheers will be proffered.
 'AThe poor man's club' is to be re- tnstated, only this time the drinks will be soft, the prices will be even softer and there will be no dolefuI after-effects. Such is the assurance given the leaders of the Nationwide by the churchwomen's League Of Pa- triotic Service just organized byz wo- men of that church: -~..,t ,.---
 The new saloon, or canteen, which the Churchwomen's League for Pa- triotfc Service is planning to intro- duce in New York, will be a combina- tion canteen and club for men who want to eat, drink, play games, read or rest during the day or night. Service will be absolutely free, and soft drinks and food will be served at cost. Pool tables, card tables, games and reading material will be supplied The attendants will be volunteer wo- men workers of the Churchwoman's League Vacated saloons will be used for these canteens.
 It is hoped by the League that eventually the twentieth centruy sal oon will develop into a community center with interests for every mem Der of a mans family as well as for himself. At first, however, the scope will not be broad.
