 According to information now in possession of the authorities, Soko- lowsky, under the name of Orlon or Orlorffski was the late Car Nicholas private bodyguard and head of a branch of the Russian secret police with headquarters at St. Petersburg. alt is reported -.lat he worked for and did notable work for the celebrated Russian police head Azem, about whom more modern detective and po- lice stories have been written than any other man of his time.
 Sokolowsky was entrusted with the most confidential missions by the Czar, it is said, missions that took him into practically all of the capi- tals of Europe and to England and which in many cases resulted in high officials of not only the Russian gov ernment but others upon the Contin- ent being headed for the wastes and tortures Of Siberia.
 Sokolowsky had entire to courts and cabinets as special messenger on important state missions. Il is fur

MIGHT USE NEW LONDON HARBOR
 FOR COAL SHIPS

If rail transportation should fall before Connecticut receives its win ter supply of coal and the state should be brought face to face with actual coal starvation, means are avallao Die to transport the fuel in eases where the price is secondary consideration. This fact has been determined by an inquiry of the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce into proposal made by James G. Hammond, secretary of the New London Chamber of Com merce.
 '"Thc port of New London, with it's deep water, it's excellent rail faclll- ties and it's big Connecticut state pier. is the only deep sea-going port of Connecticut" MT. Hammond has pointed out we have eight large, empty, idle ships now tied up to the state pier. Adjacent to this are many acres of excellent storage land be- longing to the state of Connecticut for the storage of coal"
 His suggestion is to have the State Chamber tf Commerce ask the United States shipping board to have these vessels manned and sent to Southern tidewater ports for cargoes of coal to be carried to New London for stor- age on the state reservation, there tc be available to Connecticut interests at a figure covering the total costs the idea being to use automobile trucks for the haul from New Lon don to factories in the event of a serious tie-up.
 Study of the plan by Thomas W Russell, Connecticut fuel administra- tor, has brought him to the conclu- sion that, while the cost of-procuring coal in that manner would be pro- hibitive as matters now stand, il might offer a solution if railroads should suddenly cease to function properly at a time when the need for or.o1 iy,onera five

 In military quarters here the view is taken that the allies principal weapon against the Bolsheviki, if it is decided to oppose them, will be the blockade, and that the Poles will, if possible, be- given supplies. e z

THE PAPER SHORTAGE

The remedy proposed by the Amer
lean Paper Pulp Association at IFS am
nual convention in Mem York to- meet
the shortage in the nations paper sup
ply discloses clearly the basic reason
for the present situation. Reforesta-
ton and conservation of timber are
recommended as the key to the solu-
ton Of the problem The coroIary is
that the scarcity of paper may be at
tributed to forest devastation and the
omission to replant a timber crop in
land that has been denuded of its tree
growth
In course of time cle"p hydroelec-
tric energy, an essential in the estab-
Hshment Of pulp factory, will enable
the paper manufacturers to make use
of the vast supplies of virgin spruce
in Alaska, Washington and Oregon.
This will provide relief, although there
will be transportation difficulties in
volyed. Freight charges in transport
ing paper or pulp from such a distance
will make the northwets a less salts
factory source of supply for great
majority of publishers, Therefore,
the soundest plan in the long run to
meet the problem is to grow pulp
wood close at land on lands now idle
which are not suitable for agriculture
or other purposes.
The American Paper and Pulp As
sociation has proposed a sensible far
sighted method Of solving the paper
problem. Trees are slow growth;
years will elapse before seedlings now
set out will be ready for the pulp fac
tory. The more reason, then why
the program of reforestatiOn should be
| started at once. TO provide for fu.
ture paper needs, the vast tracts of
| desert land throughout the country
particularly in the mountainous re.
gions should be planted in forests.
The experience we are now undergo
ing contains a suggestion of the pen
atty we will pay if we defer applying
the remedy to the paper trouble

THE
10 nloO lNG NE
FREIGHT CARS

One Of the most important commis.
sions now sitting in Washington
and one about which very little is
heard-is the Car Service Commission
of the Railroads.
This body works in close touch with
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
andits principle job is to see that the
100000 railroad freight cars are
properly distributed over the country
to serve the public most efficiently.
The farmers crops are OF little val
ue unless there are freight cars to car
ry them to the markets Ths manu-
| facturer has to close his plant if he
can't get the cars to bring raw mater
ials to him and take his finished prod
ucts away. The freight car, in fact,
| is one of the most indispensable things
of every day life. The average man
does not realize how important and
valuable thing a freight car is until
he can't get something he wants sim
ply because there is no freight car to
carry it,
The freight car situation this year
is pretty serious. For several years.
because Of war conditions, not enough
new freight cars have been built to
take the place Of the worn-out ones
and bring the total number up to the
requirements of our expanding indus
try. There are not enough cars to go
around. and if we have big crops this
season there is going to be wailing
and gnashing Of teeth over a serious
shortage Of cars.
In the meantime, the railroads, after
two years Of government operation,
are straining to the utmost to raise
the hundreds of millions OF dollars
needed to pay for the building of new
cars. They ought to be enabled to
build 100000 right away, and they
ought to have 100000 within two
wears. One hundred thousand cars
before the war would have cost $l2O,
100000; now they will cost $37O,OOO,-
OOO Unofficial estimates are made
in Washington that the railroads real
| " need today $6OO,OOO,OOO worth OF
new cars and engines. 1t is going to
be some task to raise this new capital.

PAPER CONTEST CLOSES

Newman, who sold a total Of 24O0
pounds; the second prize, $500, was
Ton by George Shattuck, with over
coco pounds to his credit and the
third prize, 10 theatre tickets, went
to Robert Clark.
An effort will ne made to system
dtize the gathering Of old papers in all
tn towns on the VI. & y. \. SO that
carload shipments can be made and
tie lowest freight rates secured. The
paper shortage Is very serious, prices
are becoming almost prohibitiye, hun
dreds of newspapers being forced to
combine or go out Of business. 40
and 80 cents a hundred pounds is
being paid, which makes the saving Of
old papers profitable besides being a
real service to the country.

THE VICE PRESIDENCY.

The ingrained American sense OF
humor is one Of our happiest virtues
Abused. it becomes one Of our most
dangerous vices Our ability to laugh
good naturedlv at the unintentional
failures of men in high places is an
instance of the virtue. Our tendency
at times to give scant attention TO
the equipment of men we elevate Is
an instance of the vice Our tradl'
tionaI treatment of the office OF wee
president of the United States as a
Joke is an example of both.
1t is one thing to laugh at the cir
cumscriptions of the vice presidency;
it is quite another to nominate and
elect a vice president in that spirit
There have been times when the kind
of man second in administration was
matter of vast importance. The re
cent illness of President Wilson sery-
ed to call attention pointedly to the
possibilities that may deyclope upon
the presiding officer Of the Senate.
1t has been customary to make the
vice presidency matter of barter IN
party conventions and the presidential
running mate is often chosen with an
eve to party unity or territorial eXped,
iencv. Tons of news-print are being
used daily in discussions Of the abil-
iiies of the leading candidates for the
presidency. But there are no leading
candidates for the vice presidency;
the chances are that the nominees for
that Office will be men who have not
figured largely in the presidential talk.
Well.conducted business establish
ments exercise much care in select
ing their vice presidents. Should the
great corporation Of the United States
use less? There might well be ser
ious discussion Of vice presidential
possibilities.
