CONNECTICUT AUTOS.

Automobiles have been on the gain
for a long time. There may have been
q certain letting mp due TO the in
fluence of the war on the manufacture
of pleasure cars, but it is quite evident
that it is not going to last, and that
whatever setback was received viii be
quickly made up.
Pretty good evidence of this is fur
nished by the report from the office of
the commissioner of motor vehicles to
the effect that for the six months end
ing with March the receipts reached
the handsome total OF $973S which
is o gain OF more than $4,000 over
the receipts for the same period in
1918. -. g.. .
With the gain showing at this sea-
son of the year in such volume there is
good reason for feeling that it will
mount up as rapidly if not more so
during the next six months, so that
when the department closes its year
the first OF October there viii he re
ceipts considerably in advance of the
81 100000 received last year. - y.

STORIES OF TIE. WAR

men but only about 2J3, 900 of them

information received at Berpe from
sources usually considered reliable.
These forces are divided into fifteen
armies of 1700e combatants each.
Twelve. of them are described as com

The artillery equipment of the Boil
