As to precautions taken to safeguard the Pontopores in crossing the war Zone, Mr. Giddings of the National C. R.

These side banners are thoroughly flluminated at night by bright .lights and the marking can be plainly. seen. at a great distance. In Bddition there are other alstinguishing emblems.” Besides, the cargo is fully insured. Manchester and Waterbury continue to show the greatest activity amons the communities of the state. Both have added substantlally to their totals the past week. The former has now passed the 32,500 mark, while the lat- ter is close behind. More than 40 com- munities have given $100 or more aplece.
