STORIES OF THE WAR
How Archansel Troops Are Fed.

Fuller details of how the Germans concentrated large force in Finland late last summer in the hope of seiz- ing the Murmansk railway and occu- pying Kola and Murmansk are given in recent disDa tches which make time ly a bulletin from the National Geo. graphical Society telling the roman tic story of the building of this rail- road.
 Relatives and friends of American troops have an especial interest in this railway since it is the artery which supplied the allied forces in north Russia with food. clothing and muni~ tons during the long winter months when Archangel itself was closed to shipping by ice
 "Murmansk is the northern termi- nus of the Murman railway, a single track line which connects the ice-free port with Petrogrsd by way of Kan dalaksha, Rem, Petrozavodsk, and Zvanda, 660 of the 900 miles of the line having been constructed since 1914 in the face of some of the great est obstacles ever encountered in civil engineering" the bulletin states.
 War work on the Murman railway began January 1. 1915, with the ap- pointment by the Russian government of Vladimir Goria chkovsky as the en- gineer At his disposal were placed 100000 workmen recruited from all parts of the empire.
 The line had to run through a ter rain presenting the most discouraging difficulties swamps, bogs. frozen lakes, and almost impenetrable for ests. In Russia's peril construction work could not wait until the advent of spring Soundings were made through the ice by means of long iron rods to determine earth contours, in order to establish the safest roadbeds i'll swampy country. Much of the sur veying during the long nights of the Arctic winter had to be done by lan- ] tern light.
 1.-The German propa ganda bureau spread reports of frightful mortality among the workn1en. but as a matte, of fact. although the laborers lived
 under the most primitive conditions | in tents. the death rate was extremely i low. About one per cent. of those
 taken i'll succumbed to scurvy. 1 Tt is true that when the first trains l began to run over the partly com 1 pleted road there were occasions wher the track suddenly subsided. due te 1 the fact that the rails had been laid l upon what were thought to be rocks
 but which proved, with the thaw o1 1 spring, to be ice. Under the circum- l comparatively rare. and no serious ac- I cidents resulted. The swampy char acter of the right of way is indicated

SPEAKING OF MOTHS.

Certainly the buffalo moth has no match in his attachment to places. When he has once established habitat there he returns on wing season after season, never mistaking the house. Nothing but the most energetic meas ures will ever drive this moth away; so it is the part of wisdom to leave no invitations for it around in the shape of wooden articles in closets. Like all other moths, it likes a dark, warm place in a clothes closet or cupboard. Before putting away winter clothes and furs be careful to air them thor oushly and hang them out in the sun for a while, too. After sorting over the closets and refining and putting drawers and shelves in order there will be little to do to them when the general cleaning comes; and if the doors and drawers are kept shut the dust of the general cleaning will not drift into them.

After the Work on The Rhine

No matter at what tiny port in the Near East ones ship touches he finds the American flour and foodstuffs have ben unloaded. Here in the an cient home of Phythagoras, the town which once rivalled ancient Athens, there are thousands of refugees driv- en from Asia Minor during the war by the Turks, with American four and fish from the Turkish coast their principal means of existence.
 Duck-like Turkish caiqUes rush out to the American food ships which anchor at Fig Ami, Isie of Samos at intervals and unload the flour which is distributed on donkey back into the interior of the island Both Fig ami and Vathey, the latter the principal port of the island of Samos, are now well supplied with American staple foods.
 American Red Cross representatives, working under the direction of Lieu tenant Colonel Henry W. Anderson of Richmond Va. see that the food is equitably distributed. Other Red Cross field workers perform like service on the island of Nikaria.
 The inhabitants of Patmos, Leros and Lipso, Greek Island seized a few years ago by the Italians, hope to SOCtl Dc lculIllSu lU NISGCt. LSIOS boasts that it's inhabitants are direct

The island of Samos receives special consideration in the matter of American food for about 1000 Greek refugees from Smyrna and Asia Minor, driven out by the Turks have been livng in dis tress on the island during the war. With their native mastique wine, olives. oranges, nuts, figs, fresh fish and American food the natives of Samos are now faring not so badly.
 Many American soldiers of Greek parentage are now visiting the Greek Islands after having fought in France Red Cross girls recently distributing food to refugees were greeted by a group of American soldiers.
 What are you Americans doing on this far-off island?" the girls inquir- ed in astonishment.
 "Oh, we've finished up our work along the Rhine." one American Greek replied. and now we've come back to the homes of our fathers

KEEP ELECTION DAY IN MIND.

, In connection with the affairs of municipality there is a large respon- sibility that rests upon the shoulders of the voters and unless that respon- sibility is met as it should be the community suffers. The same Is like Iy to be true if the work of the many IS left for a few. and when such is the case there remains very little ground for those who failed to do their rart 10 complain of the results obtained from the judgment exercised by others.
 Much criticism has been indulged in regarding the way in which the city affairs have been administered during the past year. That there is de- mand for change that the best inter- .sts of the community may be served Is the natural result of the situation hat has developed. There was a clean 70 sweep year ago because change in Inc method of conducting city affairs Eas sought and the desire prevailed 70 register a protest against the tame.
 -' A week from today the voters of this city will elect the new members Of the common council and fill num- Der of city offices for a term of two years. It is a time when every voter should participate in order that there may be placed in office those who will give the affairs of the municipality the attention that they deserve, that eff tient service may be insured and that the welfare of the community may get 6rst consideration.
 The republican ticket as given above Is made up of men who are willing to devote such time as is required to serving the whole community. They stand for good government with the interests of the many placed before those of few. They are men of in- tegr!ty and good judgment and it is for the interest of every voter to get to the polls and cast his ballot in their bshalf. Don't overlook election day Monday, June 2.

BOOST SALVATION ARMY FUND.

This is the final day of the drive for the raising of the fund for the Salva- ton Army and by tonight the people of this vicinity should have made such a response in its behalf that it will be possible to announce that the quota desired from this city has been raised.
 Norwich has not been asked for a heavy contribution to this excellent cause. There are cities no larger than this that are giving great deal more. In this campaign gifts are sought but it should be fully understood that they are for such an excellent cause that everyone should be anxious to partici- pate therein and give as freely as they are able.
 If for any reason the organization of the campaign has been such that it has not obtained the good results ex- perienced in others, or if there has been a failure to respond on the part of solicitors, regardless of what the reason may be. those who have not been reached but who are interested, should make it point of seeing that their checks, bills or other contribu- tions are gotten to the Thayer build ing headquarters today. Many have already responded without being ask cd. Many have been unwilling to take chance of not being included in this worthy cause but there must be a great many more who have been expecting to give but who have not done so and it is this very help that is needed to reach the goal.
 The Salvation Army is engaged at all times in work that comments it. self. It deserves encouragement and support. It needs the help that will be secured in, this manner for it's con- tinuance and extension and Norwich should be anxious to sec that the small amount that is asked of it is fully sub scribed.

For simple evening or afternoon frocks famous Parlsian dressmaker is making sashes of long lengths or ribbons in three different colors.
 These ribbons are apout two inches wide, and the portion of the sash which circles the waist is invisibiy tackled, here and tere, to keep the ribbons in place. But the full loops and ends are left loose with the most pleasing results. Sashes of this order are made of peach pink ,lliac and eggshell blue ribbons; also in an ef- fective combination of pearl gray, heh- otrope and dull rose.
 For a half mourning summer frock nothing could be more dGlnty than a full one piece garment made of white muslin dotted with black pin points, and a picturesque sash in black and white taffeta r8bbon. The border of the skirt might be arranged in hem stitched tuckS.

SHOCKING ON THE
 LITTLE GIRLS DRESS

Quite an effective little touch can be added to baby's dress by the use of shocking. This phase of needle work is very Important on summer frocks. It requires such a little quantity of the shocking that one need not hesitate to spare the time. If hand embroidery is used in con- nection with the shocking the result is more effective. On one little dress of shell pink organdie, white daisies were embroidered to form yoke. A couple of rows of shocking at a high waist line caused the skirt to fall in ripples. A similar number of rows on the sleeves confined the fullness right above the scalloped edges. A little touch which would bring joy to the heart of any youngster was the in troduction of short ends of narrow black velvet ribbon. These hung from one end Of the row of shocking
