After a week's stay at this camp the, New Britain men were told that there were ambulances available and there was no telling when there would be. Leav- ing Lamh at the ‘eamap, Humason re- turned to Parla and 24 hours later went to the base camp of the trams- port service. This is the department cenducted by the American Volumteer association for with the French army as drivers of munition trucks, known as camions. Mr. Hum- ason remaited eight days at this camp and was then sent to the permanent base camp of this department, situ- ated about six miles from the front line tr¢nches and midway between Solssons and Rheims. It was there that the local boy had his headquar- ters during his entire stay on the bat- tle front. Up the Shells. In explaining the work of the trans- port service, Mr, Humason sald that most of the munitions and other equipment is brought to gmmunitien parks, located at the terminals of the railroads near the frent linés. From these -parks, or arsenals, the equip- ment is forwarded to the fromt, or near to it, on marrow gauge railroad cars. However, when there is a delay or a sudden demand then the motor transports are called into service and it is th edyuty’'of these workers te take the munitiens from the “parks” to & point near the froat lines, from where they are conveyed to the tremches by horse and wagon. It was in this line of work that Mr. Humasen was en- gaged and in the course of his duty he was’able to see many exciting events, to watch some of the most important moves in the great war and it was also his privilege to také part in the great October drive made by the French against the Germana in which the German position, / Fort Malmaison, was eaptured. Almest continually through the night big guns on both the German and French frents boom, Mr. Huma- son says, and not infrequently did the big shells fly near the varjous camp: He also saw numerous air raids and likewise witmessed several thrilling air duels between French and Ger- man aviators. @ Visits Ruins at Rheima While in France Mr. Humason visitad the famous cathedral at Rheims and eays that all stories pub- lished relative ‘to the devastation of the "place are true. The wonderful cathedral is a mass of ruins. Only the four walls are standing and the cupola or steeple is almost battered down; The priceless stained glass windows in the old church havebeen shat out and all of the interier deco- rations are a mass of debris. That the Germans deliberately used this cathedral as a target for thelr big gun is obvious, the Vine street man says, for during the time of its bom- bardment the enemy was hurling from 250 to 300 big shells into the structure each week. In the many other towns and cities near the front that Mr. Humason visited he said there was evidence af the same kind of devastation, but it was probably from a military necessity rather than from a spirit of wanton destruction as at Rhélms. In one place he eaw a wall, all that remained of one build- ing, on which some German soldier had written In 1914: “Gott Strafe England. Mr. Humason is especially familiar ith the famous air raid made re- ‘cpntly by the Germans near Verdus in which a French Red Cross hospital was bombarded, as he conversed with a man stationed there before he came Home. Aeccording to the story told to Mr. Humason by this soldier, three days before the raid & German avia- tor flew high over the hospital and dropped a letter advising the authori~ ties to evacuate the hospitals imme- diately, as the buildings were located adjacent to an impartant munition park and were to be bombarded. No attention was paid te the warning, probably because it may have been impossible to evacuate the hospital— and, true to his threat, three days later the German air foree arrived and bombarded the place, some of the bombs falling on the haspital, killing nurses and patiemts. At the present time the morale of the Freneh troops seems to be good, Mr. Humason states, and all previous dissention, due to lack of faith in cer- tain commanders, seems to have been @ispelled by the action af General Petaln, the great military leaddr of France. Took Part in Great Drive. The October drive of the French in which Fort Malmaison was captured was one of the most important of the entire war, and Mr. Humason was i that particular action. Following the capture of the fort by the Fremch he was permitted to walk through the de- serfed German trenches. The average French trench, Mr. Humason says, s only about six feet deep, as the French are mostly all short meén. The trenches being built for thé Ameri. cans are much deeper, due to the dif- ference in stature of the two races. These trenches, six and seven feet deep, aTe just wide enough to permit iwo men to pass. On the tep, both in the front and in the rear, is an earth- | on parapet and, extending ferward under the trenches, are the dugouts in which the men lve. | _No.-Man's Land is described by Mr. | Humason as the most desolate looking section of land imaginable. The con- tinual hail of shot and sheil - has swept away all of the shrubbery and follage and nothing remains but gaunt, barren tree trunks and deep depressions in the ground where shells have exploded. An idea of what a shell crater is like may be gleaned from the description given one which was made when a big shell exploded not far from where Humason was ldcated. He stated that | 1t was apout eight feet in diameter 7 ¥ - and sp-4gep LAt tnen eould mand on the Yottom alia mot be seen frem the setace. ough the average per- som, beMeves that the fromt line tremches are the most dangerous, Mr. Hemason says that it is the second and third line trenches that are the mest damgerous in fact. And for this reasen: The Germans, when about to attack, open up a continual artil- lery five directed entirely on the sec- ond and third line trenches, form- ing A barrege of fire which is intend- ed to prevent reinforcements from coming up to the defense of the first Hine. The fighting on the first line is Imost entirely with machine gun, rifle and bayomet. In many places the German and French trenches are within 80 yardas of each other and Here the fightimg I8 entirely with hand gvemades and by sharpshooters. These trenches are so close to- gether that the ememy can be heard talking at times. In other places the trenehes arc. about 100 yards apart. ‘While in France Mr. Humason saw byt very Msie of the British, Austra- liAn or Canadian troops and only a comparatively few Americans. He saw many of the Sengalese troops and says they are fierce fightera. They are sent from the French pro- vinees in Africa and are black men. They are what might be termed ‘“too good” fighters for when the French start an objective they plan to go only a certatn distance and direct thelr harrage of fire to this point.’ Duriag the charge the Sengalese, in their_flarce enthusiasm * of battle, ofttimes forget to stop at the propei time and pursue the retreating Ger- mans too far, sometimes running into their own artillery fire and be- coming annihilated. In France the universal term ap- plied to the German is Boche, while the French are known as Poilus:, De- wpite their objections to the nicknanie, Mr. Humason says that fthe Americand are invartably referred to as “The Sammies” and that is the nickname thet will stick to them throughout the ‘war. Poilu.Gets 5 Cents Per. The pay given a French seldiér is five cents per day and it was this munifieent salary that Mr. Humason received during his service abroad. The food given the French soldiers is the best possible, he says, and behind the lines all sacrifices are being made for the fighting men. This is notice- able to the extent that it is now. im- posalble for a civilian to buy any to- bacoo in France as'it is all being sent to the: soldiers and even then they cannot be supplied. There appears to be a sufficient supply of all foodstuffs in France, but they are expensive. ‘The ounly shortage of any account is butter and sugar. There is very Mittle of the former used and sugar is ob- tainable only by a card which limits the amount used by each person. Members enlisted in the French For- eign Legion receive even less pay than the French national army man, their pay being but one cent per day. Mail communication between the United States and France is rushed and hardly any second class mail is coming through. There is also a de- lay in forwarding certain things and while abroad Mr. Humason learned that the American Red Cross had sent $1,000,000 worth of cigar- ettes to the American soldiers.. These had landed at Bordeaux, but no one had seep anything of them after that. Americah tobacco is almost price- Jess in Paris and can be sold at al- most any price. En route to France Mr. Humason says thefe was a ben- efit auctjon on shipboard and all the passengers contributed something. He gave a phckage of 100 Pall Mall ciga- rettes which were sold for $10. ‘When he left France Mr. Huma- son, accompanied by William Lamb, went to England, leaving Harrison Bristol, another New Britain boy in Paris where he was starting out for the camp of the 101st Machine Gun company to visit his brether, Roy Bristol, formgrly of Wealnut street. Mr. Humason sailed from Liverpool at 1 a. m. on December 5 and made the trip across in nine days. He says that probably Lamb and Bristol are now somewhere on the Atlantic en route far home. On the night before he left Paris for England Mr. Humason met Rob- ert C. Vance of Maple street, an am- bulance driver, in the French cap- 4tal. They had dinner together and the other New Britain boy sent back his greetings to all the friends “in the old home town.” Mr. Humason says Mr. Vance is enjoying excellent health and now tips the beam at 184 pounds.

New York, Dec. ~~Anether week of disappointmént has passed over.tha financial district. Growing pessimism is a conspicuous fact, as is the con- sequent lack ef buyers. That there is a very considerable buying power in existence despite the tremendous absorption of money by the govern- ment, is conceded; but it ls easily offset by the persistent outpouring of stocka. Public opinion, for the time being at least, has giyen up hope of an early ending to the war. 'Thia ex- plains the ‘deptression in part. Re- ports that the Germans are preparing for amether big drive at thc Western front added to the prevailing dis- couragement; although the belief in hopeful circles was that the enemy was engaged in &ne of the flnal’ des- perate efforts to driva the Allies back befare. American armies arrive. in France. At the moment the war is growing in intensity rather than diminishing. Germany's activities are certainly in- creasing, presumably with a view of making a supreme effort. Britain's drive against Cambrai has been checked. Itg‘ly is actively resisting a tremendous attack. Russia is in the throes of civil strife. Spain and Por- tugal' are both \endangered by the fires raging about them, while all the neutral countries are more or less in danger of being drawn into the con- flagration. In the United States the war clouds are growing thicker and thicker. The storm is here, though not yet raging in full force. As our young men depart in increasing num- bers for ‘“over there,” we grow more and more serious; and our appreela- tion of the great cause, and their su- preme sacrifice, becomes deeper and strongér. When the casualty lists come pack, we will feel more keehly the price required to make this a bet- ter and a freer world, if not for our- selves, for those who come after. No wonder we become solemn, serious and disappointed. But there should be no vielding to this discouragement, and no gloom. Victory 1is certain, provided we “carry on' our part with unflinching hope and’ courage. negotiations for obtaining the metal to supply pressing war needs. With the opening of Congress the railroad question has become a prob- lem demanding prompt solution. At this writing, the outlook is for na- tlon-wide government contro] through present executives and some form of government financial aid. Such iz he- Heved to be President Wilson's pref- erence; although not a few impartial judges believe that unit operation un- der a pooling system and government guaranee of interest on required new capnal would be the best alternative for all parties. The President’s plan, whatever its scope, may be adopted because of his extraordinary sway over Congress. It would at least have this advantage: that it would post- pone the discussion of government ownership indefinitely, or until after the war, when calm consideration would be more possible than now. Private operation under government regulation' is a much safer method than thrusting further heavy respon- sibilities upon a government already overloaded with problems and creak- ing under war burdens. The plight of the railroads is more - desperate than generally recognized, which, of course, explains the heavy selling of the last few weeks. It transpired be- fore the Interstatb Commerce Com- migsion hearings that the expenses of the Eastern roads are running at the rate of $278,000,000 ahead of last year; $103,000,000 of this being for labor, $86,000,000 for fuel and $89.- 000,000 for materials. This growth in expenses of $278,000,000 does not in. clude increased taxes, higher interest rates or present excessive deprecia- tion. The Interstate Commerce Com- mission has already granted advances in some sections aggregating about $98,000,000: which, with other ad- vances In prospect; will stil] leave a shortage of $123,000,000 to be made up. Upon these figures it is evident that the railroads will be obliged to ask for much more than 15 per cent. especlally as expenses promise to in- crease rather than decrease. Labor and materials alone are jcosting the railroads today 25 per cent. to 30 per cent. more than a year ago. Stock market weakness was quite as pronounced in the industrials as among the railroads. The fall in the industrials must be partly due to exaggerated apprehensions, That price fixing and government regula- tion would stop. profiteering was known dong ago. That increased ex- penses and heavy —taxes would cut deep into profits was equally recog- nized.. That pfolongation of the war would force genmeral economy, re- strict consumption, absorb the coun- try's earnings, check new enterprise and keep commodities on a high level were also matters of common know- ledge. When it is remembered that the industrials never fully reflected the effect of war profits and were never unduly inflated, it would seem as if the recent decline had about dis- counted changed positions. There has been comparatively little war in- flation of securitié® in this market; high prices having been chiefly con- fined to commodities. Xet the shrink- iage of values in the United States, which has benefited more than any other country by the war, has been far heavier than in Great Britain, which suffered much and gained nothing thus far from the purely economic standpoint. Money, both call and tinues firm. There is no lack loanable funds, but bankers are criminating sharply as to both size and character of borrowers. A feature of note is the new departure of the government in making reason- able advances on contracts . TUntil recently responsible firms had diffi- culty in starting mew contracts, and financial aid was necessarily sought from bankers. The British govern- ment on the other hand has been liberal in its advances to good parties time, con- of dis- DECEMBER 15, 1917. from)the start, and our government will probably now de likewise. The bond market continues neglectsd. Its depression was, of:course, due to the war, to the advance in interest rates and consequent readjustment. Liberty bonds dsplayed growing activity and some slight weakness, owing te expectations of another issue early in 1918 on poseibly a 4 1-2 per cent. basis. Foreign government i8sues also weakened undér Germén successes and fear.of prolongation of the war, F It is a fair question whether the “Street” is not unduly P Feeling is very.apt to run Yo extremea and the present wave in some re- @épetts is going beyond reason, so far as present conditions can be < seen. Those who have surrendered posjtion and future for aake of country and gone to the frant are not pessimistic. Why shquld those left behind, who have made the smallest sacrifice, be the darkest pessimists? The United States haa actually suffered less than any of the belligerents. It is still prosperous and buay supplying food and munitions to its Alltes. for which it is/ generously paid. We are confl- dent of victory, al“l better times also when peace comes) Why then is excessive gloom in the finanocial ‘dis- trict about temporary influences and setbacks, HENRY CLEWS.

Hartford, Dec. 15.—A novel way of getting out of a freight diffculty was tried out successfully Friday by Cheney Brothers of South Manchester when it sent a carload of silk to New York city by trelley and boat. The silk was loaded into a freight car of the Connecticut company at the mills in South Manchester and taken fro: there direct to New Haven where {1 was transferred to the New York boat. The trip was made successfully and quickly in spite of poor trafc conditions caused by severe snow- storm of the night before. The storm has made it impossible to use motor trucks and there were no freight cars available. Transportation committee of the State Council of Defense con- siders the achievement an important one in view of the attempts it has been making to relieve the freight situation by encouraging further use of freight facilities of the, Connecti- cut company, not as severely taxed as the railroads.
