Heavy Attack by Shore Guns. The old cruiser Vindictive went to her last berth 150 to 200 yards with- in the piers forming the entrance to the harbor of Ostend under a terrific fire from the German naval guns and wmachine guns on the shore, accord- ing to the Central News. P'reparatory to the raid, the naval force bombed the town and dropped tombs continuol on the harbor works, causing fires. Later the air- men were assisted by destroyers and Monitors in hombing the enemy pos tions heavily.

The weather was everything desirable until 15 minutes Lefore the Vindictive was sunk when a sea fog drove in shore and reduced the visibility to a range of between 300 and 400 yard The Vindictive experienced the greatest difficulty in finding the en- irance to the harbor. The enemy cmployed star shells and search- lights extensively and for 20 minutes vessel was in full view of the cnemy batteries.

At the New Britain Ice Corp. office this morning it was stated that an advance of five cents a hundred has heen made to market men and wholesalers, the new figure being 30 cents a hun- dred. The price to drug stores and loons will be 40 cents a hundred nd the charge to householders will be 50 cents. This price is not guar- anteed,” said Mr, Rhodes. The price charged to hous by the Bailey Corp., which the contract the municipal last season was It is likely that if the ice corporation { makes a further advance the Bailey Ice Corp. will also advance. When the contract with the Bailey Ice Corp, was made by the board of water commissioners the price for municipal ice was fixed at 30 cents a hundred and it will be a surprise to many to learn that the cost was ad- vanced. It is understood that the raise was permitted by water depart- ment officials, who took into considera- tion the ad in the cost of labor.

The premier, hands in looked down intently until American was out of sight. When the American flag was carried past, the premier led in cheers, which were taken up by other members of the war cabinet and by the people in the street: Shortly before the troops swung into viewa before the palace, King jeorge and Queen Mary walked from the palace to the street before the front gate where they —met Major Gen. Biddle of the American army. The king carefully observed the men as they passed in review and after- wards congratulated the general on {heir appearance. He then inspected the guard while the queen conversed with Gen. Biddle. The king's message to the soldiers follows: “Soldiers of the United States, the people of the British Thles welcoma vou on your way to take your stand beside the many nations fighting' in the old world the great battle for hu- man freedomn. “The Allies will gain new heart and spirit in your company.

Already the Connecticut company is adopting a “skip stop” trolley stations in this city, somewhat similar to the one in use in Hartford and New Haven. The only difference between the local system and the two schedule for others that in this city the cars stop approximately at every other crossing, | the stop being made'at the same place on the outgoing and incoming trip. In New Haven and Hartford the stops are at diagonally opposite corners on the outgoing and incoming trip: Manager F. L. Beardsley states that practically every line in the city ha been gone over and the stop poles re- marked with paint so that the patrons of the line have only to look for a station pole to know where the car will stop for passengers. Chestnut street is the only one where this work has not been done, but West Main reet is not yet completed. The Connecticut company has adopted this “skip stop” plan at the instance of the federal government as means of conserving coal. Street il experts estimate annual coal saying of over 100,000 tons in the ate of M chusetts alone and the out elsewhere has es, reduced the amount of coal consumed by 20 per cent. Elec- trical experts explain that the frequent arting and stopping of electric cars consumes much more electricity, even does frequent starting and stopping of an automobile consume much moro gasoline than a long run. On long streets where there are not many in- tersecting highways, Manager Beards- ley has reduced the number of stop stations so that the general idea followed out on every local line.
