NEW HAVEN RAILROAD TO
 HAVE CREOSOTING PLANT

The New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad company has contracted with the American Creosoting company for the treatment of cross ties, switch ties, lumber and piIing, and new plant of the most recent design, with a capacity for treating 1,500,0 900 ties a year. is to be erected at New Haven. The plant will be provided by the American Creosoting company, and will be adjacent to the northerly end of the New Ravens Cedar Hill freight terminal, and thus will con- meet with the terminal.
 This new creosoting plant will be of dis tinct advantage to the New Haven be- cause heretoforoe it has been necessary for the railroad to ship ties and materials used on the New York division to distant duction in the supply of the better and more durable kinds of timber, it will now be possible for the company to use the large supply of cheaper grades which are available locally in large quantities, but which it has been unable to utilize be- cause of the lack of facilities for treat ment.
 This plant will also be Of advantage to the producers of timber in southern New England, as it will make available for purchase large quantities of timber which are not now marketable. With provision made for the treatment of this timber, il is probable that the New Haven's re- quirements for ties can be supplitd locally for a long period of years, and there will not be necessity for purchases from out side territory.
 The public should also welcome the construction of the new creosoting plant, as it will afford an opportunity close at Ioo For the treatment of timber.
 The American Creosoting company, of which A. L. Kunhn is president, is operat- ing seventen similar plants in other To- calities. This company has specialized not only in railroad work but in all branches of timber preservation. 1 The construction of the plant at New Haven is expected to progress so that
 operations will commence during the
 spring. Within a few months there | after the plant should be completed and
 ready for capacity operation.
 There are approximately 15,500, 00C ' cross ties in the tracks of the New Haven
 system, and the requirements for renew

RED CROSS AIDED
 STATES DISABLED SOLDIERS

Help for the disabled fighting men and their families was the chief ac- tivity of the American Red Cross in Connecticut during the last year. the forty chapters of the organization in that territory rendering service of mary sorts to 2S,527 of these heroes and those dependent on them, the actual fnan-
 cial aid totaling $4S,S46.
 This is the outstanding feature of a
 report on the years work made public yesterday at Atlantic Division headqusr-
 ters which also states that the number
 of disabled men needing such service IS
 increasing at rate which makes im- perative a greater response to the years
 Red Cross Roll Call, Nov. 11-24, if this
 important work is to be continued. Throughout the nation the Red Cross is spending annually on this service to the disabled men about $10,000,000, four mil
 lion dollars more than was realized in
 the 1920 membership campaign.
 Services to the disabled men in this
 state, as in other parts of the country, consisted in helping them with compen- sation, insurance, medical allotment and vocational training school claims which they have against the government, ad- vising them on home problems, and in emergency cases loaning money to them ana the'r fam1leS. Red Gross workers
 have an active part in the cleanup cam paign of the U. s. Veterans bureau, which is designed to reach every ex-ser- vice person with a claim against the government. For the kseveral thousand
 men still in the hospitals of the state the Re- Cross provided cigarettes, knitted articles and recreation of various kin !s While the organizations chief work has been with the men incapacitated in ser vice the able bodied men in the army

STREET FROWNS
ON JAP WAR TALK
Says Island Nation Faces Big
Economic Problem.

War with Japan is the last thing that
should be considered by this country,
according to statements made by Julian
Street, author and journalist, in an IL
lustrated lecture entitled mysterious ia
pam before the Contemporary Club at
the Propylaeum last night.
Japan should not be blamed for not
understanding our foreign policy" ie
said, "for in the Far East we have none
to understand For many years Japan
and the Japs have been the political
footballs Of California politicians.
Il Go not believe we are justified in
referring to the japanese as an inferior
race for they are not in fact, they are
exceedingly Industrious and thrifty
They are one Of the few peoples who are
not asking for shorter working hours
and more pay in the same breath.
The problem confronting japan today
is an economic problem and serious
one, for, despite the intensive cultivation
of the SOIL she is forced to import the
greater part Of her food supply.
1.-THE japanese are essentially a nations
loving people. Like the Freneh, they
have come to look upon the soil of Japan
as sacred soil, and they endure military
rule only because they realize what 1t
has d0ue for them"
