MILITARY ACTIVITIES LINKED This nation is now engaed in establishing a mighty military force, which shall ensure the success of the great war. Al over this broad land, camps will be pitched where the armies of the Republic will train for service. Linking the training camps, the aviation fields, the coast defenses and even the remotest points where the forces of the nation are gathered, with each od:er’ and with the great bureaus at Washington, the nerve centre of the military system and of the nation, is the Universal Bell Telephone System. the declaration of war, the whole Bell System was plncedwumedw ly at the disposal of the Government. The govern- ment’s telephone needs became at once of paramount .importance. to which every private requirement was necessarily subordinated. Since the war, the demands upon our service due to industrial and commercial activities, have been unprecedented, and are constantly As our l;niliury establishment grows, the Gov- ernment’s needs for telephone service will in- crease and must be met. We ask you to co-operate with us by avoiding extravagant and wasteful use of the service, so that with the other resources of the country, our reserve may be conserved, and we may perform the full measure of service to the Government and to the nation.

Lu ETIN. THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1917 FOOD CONTROL BILL IN CONFERENGE Trouble Will Center About Senate Amendment for War Ex- " penditures and the Bone Dry Law for States. ‘Washington, July 25.—The adminis- tration food control bill .was sent to conference by the house today with blanket instructions to disagree on all senate amendments. The conferees will hold their first meeting tomorrow morning, but it probably will be at least a week before a report on the long-disputed legislation is ready. Blocked in sending the measure to conference yesterday by the effort of Republican Leader Mann for a sep- arate vote on the amendment creating a congressional war expenditures com- mittee, the democrats brought in a special rule to force action today. Thirty-one republicans joined in sup- porting a- motion to invoke the previ- ous question on the rule, shutting off debate, and after that Mr. Mann's op- position collapsed _completely. He made no attempt to force a record vote on_adoption of the rule itself. The principal trouble in conference doubfless will center around the sen- ate amendments for war expenditures congressional committee, for a food control board of three members, for a $2 minimum price for wheat, and to permit continuance of the use of food- stuffs in the manufacture light wines and beer. In view of President Wilson’s an- rounced opposition to the war expendi- tures committee, which he maintains would embarrass him in the conduct of vhe war, administration leaders are certain they can eliminate it. The rroposal to have three food commi sioners instead of one probably will lead to a very stubborn fight,’ since the president's desire that it be stricken out to give Herbert Hoover a free hand has many opponents in both houses. Indications are that the senate pro- hibition provisions may be greatly strengthened. At least five of the seven senate conferees are said to favor personally a bone-dry country, and Chairman Lever of the conferees has promised the prohibition repre- sentatives that he will endeavor strenuously to retain the bone-dry plan for which the house voted. The conferees are Senators Gore, Chamberlain, Smith of South Carolina, Smith of Georgia, Kenyon, Warren and Page, and Representatives Lever of South Curolina; Lee, Georgia: Cand- ler, Mississippi; Heflin, Alabama; Haugen, Towa: McLaughlin, Michigan, and Anderson, Minnesota. of OCCUM AND VERSAILLES Twenty-seven Young Men in U.

Mystic was alive with patriotism on Wednesday mornirig when the young men of this village who left for New- rort naval base were given a farewell sendoff. At 8.30 o'clock the fire alarm was sounded, six blasts for Company A and seven blasts for Company D, calling the Home guard, and all as- sembled in Bank square, and from that time until 9.15 o'clock people gathered on the streets until several hundred people assembled from the foot of Baptist Hill to Davel street corner on both sides of the street. At 9.15 o'clock Major Charles P. Williams and the Mystic Cornet band made their appearance and the parade was form- ed. Just before the line was started George E.

JAPANESE MISSION TO THE UNITED STATES May Result in Transfer of Naval Fleet to the Atlan Pacific Tokio, July 1.—(Correspondence of the Associated Press).
