A vote of thanks was extended to Mrs. Edward Hunt for so generous- ly opening her house for the musicale for the benefit of the War Relief fund, and to the musicians who gave :nie performance, the net proceeds which amounted to $38. Of this $3630 was voted toward the support of a French orpnan, the child of a musiciin. Mrs. Brown ‘spoke with regret of the loss of Mrs. Waterman R. Buraham, who had been an active momber up to her remowal from this city’ tw years ago. Mrs. Browne gave a report of tha regenis’ state meeting which cently attended. sessions being in_New Haven and Hartford. | Mrs. Browne also gave a s i of war work. accomplished by chapters of different statgs from June 21, 1917 to Oc 1, 1817.

It can he divided in- o two principal parts, that of preserv- z and the equally important one of substitution. In the way of preserv. ing we have had much experience this summer, canning, especially by thej cold pack method, having been cne of ! the mportant factors of life this sum- | mer.

Mac- ENTIRELY 0UT Local Gas Plant May be Forced to Shut Down Within Day or Two Unless the Situation Used to Generate Gas Soon as Possible by State The local gas situation was some- what improved Wednesday, as the gas plant received ome load of steam coal which is being used in the man- ufacture of gas. Unless more coal can be procured within the next two or three days the plant may be forced to _shut Jdown. The plant is entirely out of gas coal which is ordinarily used in the man- ufacture of gas and the operating with steam coal which is not capable of producing the same quality of gas that can 1 manufactured from the regular gas coal. The resuits of the use of stcam coal are uncertain as it is not possible to estimate aecuracy in_the amount that can be produced. On Wednesday b coal, about 80 tonms, was received at the plant. This according to a state- ment made by Superinterdent Stephen J. Kehoe, will last perhaps two or three days depending on the amount of gas that can be extracted from the coal. After this has been exhausted the outcome is obvious unless some re- lief can be secured. Superintendent Kehoe states that there is more gas coai on the road which ought to ar- rive here at any time. ; Superintendent Keho> was in Hart- ford on Tuesday and interviewed Fuel Administrator Russeli rezarding the situation and to see .if some relief couid be secured. In Hartford no coal a carload of steam | OF GAS COAL is Relieved—Steam Coal Being Supply—Relief Promised as Fuel Administrator. could be secured but the administra- tor promised to do ail in his power to securs relief. Consulting Engineer H. E. Noble has been in Washington to interview U. S. Fuel Administrator Garfield and he was promised relief. In previous years the gas plant has secured coal direct from the mines by contract but now coal is secur- ed throush jobbers who are swamped by orders as many small jobbers have been forced out of the ~ field. This causes considerable delay and as transportation is not of the best it is a problem how to get coal into the city. On Wednesday the American Ther- mos Bottle Co. were forced to shut down several departments of their |plant_which require in operating. The U. S. Finishing Co. also had to |shut down in various departments for the same reason. The situation in The Builetin com- posing_room showed a big improv ment Wednesday nigh: and while it {was possible to operaie all linotvpe machines The Bulietin management as a protective measure against a recur- remce of Tuesday night's tre les thought it best to take advanrame of the generous offer of the New London Day, who volunteered the use of their | linotype machines and a portion of the type in_this morning’s issuc was set at the Day office. EXEMPTED JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE ALIENS Draft Law Should Include All A Except Enemies. The work of the selective draft boards has brought to light some in- teresting facts, among them being the number of aliens shown to be in the country. Not ail of them are German cliens by any means, but there are Tolish and Italian and French aliens. Neither are they necessarily alien cnemies just because they happen to be aliens. However, it would seem that these persons should come in un- @er the draft as weli as those who are liable for military duty whose privileges in this country are not greater than the aliens may enjoy. incé the drafting in Eieventh di- sion has been going on the foliowing men have been exempted purely on grounds of being aliens: Stanislaw Boduch, Jewett Cit John Zyjmartowicz, Voluntown: Mar- cello Rui, Laurel Glen: Ricardo Cha- raja, Coichester; "Alexander Roukin, Willimantic; Michael Cologub, Unca ville; John Raggwdowicz, Uncastiile; Antonio Tavanes, Stonington: John J.
