NIANTIC MAY BE MOBILIZATION CAMP. Has Been Recommended by Adjutant General Cole. Niantic has been recommended by Adjutant General Cole, in answer to a request from the war department, as the most suitable piace in the state for a mobilization of the National guard troops prior to their departure for the southeastern department. The adjutan: general has not received di- rect instructions regarding the use of the Niantic camp as a general! ren- dezvous, but considers its utilization probable. War departraert orders issued through the mil'tia bureau May 1, in regard to calling out the National guard, make no provision for other mobllization in Connecticut than for about two weeks at company rendez- vous. It is considered probable, how- ever, that a general mobilization at Niantic will take place as on June 24, 1917, in order to facilitate transporta- tion from a sing'e point. The orders state that the drafting of the National guard troops into federal service will take place about July 25, and add that the supplies necessary for the equip- ment of the units as recruited to war strength will be ready about Aug. 10. Movements to the concentration camps in the southeastern department may be delaved awaiting construction of the camps. MATINEE WHIST Nineteen Tables Played Under Aus- pices of Néw Idea Club.

Tt was suggested that the head registrar in each district get his regis- trars together and arrange with them g\e hours during which they will be on uty. Selectman Balley stated after the meeting that those who were utable to be present Monday night should report to him at their earliest conven- ience to take the oath and receive in- structions,. MILLIONS FROM THIS INTERNAL REVENUE DISTRICT Bill if Passed Will Revolutionize the Work of the Department. ! That the internal revenue district ltaking in Connecticut anl Rhode Isl- and wiil furnish at least 330,000,000 of the $1,500,000,000 to be brought in- to the treasury by the war revenue ibill now before congress was indicated lat the office of the internal revenue colicctor. I the bill goes through the senate in the form in which it passed the house, it is likely to revo- lutionize the work of the department and officials are looking forward to the buslest days in the history of the nation's tax system when the meas- ure becomes effective. Internal {Revenue Collector Jamgs J. Walsh sald that he would put no maximum on the amount which his district might collect during the com- ing vear as the result of the war revi nue’ bill. His predecessor. he said, had collected about $3,000.000. Last vear about $8,000,000 had been collect- ed'and Collector Walsh said it was safe to assume that betwcen $15,000,- 000 and $18,000,000 would be coilcct- ed during the present fiscal y-ar. Dur- ing the coming vear these figures could easily be doubled by the enact- ment of the war revenue moasure. The collector was not prepared to say how the bill would affect his de- partment, which now employs sixty- five men.' If the income tax clause in the bill, as passed by the house, should mo throuzh the senate this force would be totally inadequate to handle the income tax returns, as the number of reports would grow to enormous proportions. Aside from greatly increasing the income. inher- itance, excess profits, liquor. cizar and tobacco taxes, the bill would virtually abolish the present customs free list and put a 1 per cent. addition to ex isting tariffs, new taxes on manufac- turers, amusements, clubs, public utilities and_insurance, a far-reaching stamp tax and a greatly increased second class mail matter rate. Al these matters will mean more work for the internal revenue department. but Collector Walsh said that he was not prepared to announce what the effect would be. “It would be premature to_ discuss the bill now.” he said. “It has not passed the senate, althouzh it has passed the house. Tt is admitted that vigorous opposition is to be met in the senate and 1t is safe to say that there will be long conferences. It is pointed out that final passage of the Dill cannot be accomplisheu w1 tess than a month and, for that reason, we cannot base any statements on the bill in its present shape. There may be some big changes in it. Every- thing depends on what clauses the bill will retain when it goes through the senate. The internal revenue offices of this district in Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport and Providence are pre- paring for a task of herculean propor- tions as the result of the bLill before congress. The emerzcyey bill, rqd cently passed, has increased tha rev enue work, but has been handled with out an increase in the force, The rev enue measure, however, will probably bring about conditions ‘that will have to be met with a larger force. W.C. T. PARLOR MEETING Members of Local Union Were Ad- dressed by Mrs. Emma Graves Der- trick, u. The W. C. T. U. parlor meeting, held Monday afternoon at the Central Bap- tist church was of unusual interest and Mrs. Emma Graves Dertrick of national reputation and thoroughly versed on all phases of the work, spoke.

Conneeticut has contributed one por- table sawmill unit for England, it was announced by the Connecticut Council of Defense. '“en such units are to be sent across the water by New Eng- land, an deach of the six states of this section now has given onme unit. The other four are to be provided b: money raised by popular subscription. At the reauest of Governor Marcus H. Holcomb and the state council of defense, the state board of control has approved an appropriation of $12,000 for this purpose. There is a great need in England for these sawmill units and men to handle them, for England knows lit- tle or nothing about getting out tim- ber. The attention of this country was first called to this when the Mass- achusetts Committee on Public Safety recelved, through Vernon Wile: an Americar engaged in British war ser- vice, information that England was ex- periencing difficulty in securing suffi- clent timber for her forces in France owing to Jack of skilled lumbermen and equipment. The co-operation of the United States war department In this work has been approved. The plan is to deliver to the British government at some American port, the ten sawmill units, fully equipped with sufficient men, horses, tools and mackinery, all assembled at the earli- est possible moment. The call has gone cut for subscriptions to meet the $48,000 cost of the additional units needed over those which the states will provide. H. G. Philbrook, State House, Foston, Mass., is the treasur- er. Several hundred men will the outfit and arrangements have been made with the PBritish embassy that they shall receive wages from the time of sailing Great quantities of timber are need- ed at all times by the armies in France for shoring up trenches and hundreds of other imperative war uses. By participation in_this plan, Conneeticut and the rest of New England are help- ing in an important part of providing needed materials for the man on the firing line. The Connecticut Council qf Defense and Governor Marcus H. Holcomb have both approved the “daylight sav- ing plan” as a war measure. This in line with that taken by the governors of the five other New England states, the Massachusetts Committee on Public Safety nnd the Rhode Island legislature. DPress re- ports indicate that President Wilson also has approved this plan. The daylight saving plan contem- plates the official advancement of standard time one hour throughout the summer and early fall. It does not lengthen hours of work or shorten the Thours of sleep but shifts the daily rou- tine with the sun so that it will bet- ter it the period of daylight and dark- ness during the summer months. This_plan has been adopted by Eng- land, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Sweeden, Norway, Switzerland, Den- mark. Rumania and Australia. It is compueted _that between May 1, and Plenty of sleep, regulan haurs for feeding and lots of fresh air.
