LONG ISLAND SOUND CHOKED WITH ICE. Large Steamers May Be Forced to Stop Running. Old navigators' say they cannot re- member when Long Island sound was 50 bhadly choked with ice as it is at present. The outer harbor at New London is covered with a solid sheet of fee. - All the sound is full of ice, some solid and some broken. None but the largest sound steamers dare venture out. Even these are experiencing the greatest difficulty in reaching thelr ports. Navigators say that if the cold weather continues much longer even the large sound steamers will be forced to stop running, and they pre- dict that it this occurs the whale sound will be like a huge skating rink. The Groton ferryboat is having great difficulty in running. The ice pressure has already caused part of the Groton slip to give way. The ice packs in #olidly in both slips and tugs are em- ployed to keep the slips clear of ice in erder that the ferry may be able to run, The many vessels lying at anchor in New London harhbor are practically cut off from the city by the ice in the river. No small hoats can be pat over the 8ides of the vessels, as the ice is much too heavy to allow it. Entrance to the public landing is impossible, tie ice having frozen solidly. The whoie channel of the river is covered with a ead and h the channel is_completely frozen over. The New Hamnpshire of the New London line between New London and New York on its trip Monday night could proceed only as far as Say- brook when the ice floes becan%: too thick for safe navigation and forced he boat to return to New Tondon. A speeial train was made up and_the passengers were taken to New York. The men on the Steamer stated that it was practically impossible to complete the trip. The freight on board will be sent through as soon as the weather jmoderates somewhat. . The Central Vermont steamer New London from New London to New York is reported from New York to be hammering away at the head of the sound, trying to make her port. .The fce flelds have hemmed in the boat, DOYLE- Ty the Backus hospital. (R : M MR * chowsk: ett GAUDET--In month. LOVETTE— and it is with great difficuity that the hoat is making any progress at all. o other boat can be sent to her as- sistance, as the ice is much too heavy to permit any boat from New York to £et near enough to her to give assist- ance. The governmeént steamer Tulip, en- gaged in breaking the ice in the sound. arrived in New London Tuesday night #rom New York after a Jong drawn out éncounter with the ice. She set at work trying to station the lightships on Cornfield Point and on Bartlett's Reef, which had been torn loose from their moorings and were drifting with the ice. The ice was much too strong and heavy, however, to place the ships on their moorings again, and they were brought to New Loundon by the Tulip and tied up at the custom house dock. The Thames Towboat company’s tugs Aries and Gertrude, with a tow of eix light barges, are fast in the ice off City Island, N.' Y. The tugs were bound for New York but the ice closed in upon them and they were frozen fast. Tug Watermarn.left New London Monday noon to try to give the Aries and Gertrude asSistance, but was un- able to proceed farther than Faulkner's Island, when ‘it was turneG back by cver-increasing ice. NEW LONDON'S COAL SUPPLY VERY LOW. Deliveries: to Theatres and Office Buildings Are Shut Off, Tuel Administrator Parrish has an- nounced that there will be no coal deliveries for theatres, office buildings or anything but the first class in the coal administration list, which class comprises public utilities and domes- tic consumers, this latter class includ- ing boarding houses, hotels and baker- ies, said the New London Day on Tuesday. Only a quarter ofia ton of coal will bs delivered to these pre- ferred consiumers, ! Mr. Parrish saidthat the desperate ‘condition of the New London fuel sit- uation was the. cause for the stringent order put irto effect, to continue until such a time as a better situation war- rants a change to the old basis. Two coa]l barges of coal bound for First Regiment, C. N. G., now of the | ey sondon, which would have helped out considerably, have come to grief at Saybrook, where with two other arges they have gone on a sandbar, CommiSsioner Parrish gave ono ray of slight hope for help in the situation, He said there is a harge in port bound for a Maine port and having 200 tons of anthracite aboard. He has taken up with the higher officials the matter of turning over her cargo, which could not et to its destination in time to meet present emeérgencies, to New Lon- don. This amount of coal would not last long, but woull help a little, Of the two barges bound for New London and stuck at Saybrook, one 2:. anthracite and one bituminous The coal that was the property of the Brainerd & Armstrong company, which Mr. Parrish commandeered Sat- urday afternoon, is being distributed 4s the need arises among the three iocal concerfis, Brainerd & Armstrong, the Shore Line Electric and the Gro- ton Iron worke, as well as a small portion to be distributed to most needy householders by the New London’ Coal qomplfly. y The F. H. & A. H, Chappell com- pany did not have a pailful of coal at their yards today. Yesterday they had only 20 tons, which went the way of the four winds. Today thére is nothing available for the genera] public but a small supply of -soft coal and some wood. 2 AL Fosie T W. P. WGARRY ELECTED TO SCHOOL BOARD Succeeds the Late Patrick J. Cas- sidy, M. D.

TAFTVILLE Mill Neo, 4 Closed to Make Repairs to Boiler—~Many Frozen Water Pipes in Village—Personals. Tuesday there was no work in Mill No. 4 of the Ponemah company, as one of the boilers was.out of arder and had to be repaired. This makes the third consecutive .day that’ the mill has not worked, as it was shut down Friday night over “heatless” Monday, but was supposed to start Tuesday morning. It will probably start this| morning. With the exception of . the epooling and carding rooms in Mill No. 1, which are run by steam, the mill, which is run by water- power, was closed Tuesday on account of the effect of the cold weather on the water supply. U Water Pipes Frozen. The cold spell of the past few days has had its effect here, as mearly all the water pipes in the willage are frozen. So many piper are frozen that the plumbers can offer no immediate relief to any ef the houses.

This project it was learned today, has been talked over in various forms, one of the concrete proposals being that 150 battalions be assigned for such train- ing. Congestion at the American debark- ation parts in France lies back of the suggestion. By diverting certain units to British ports passing them through the British' system and finally trans- ferring them to General. Pershing’s army, it has been urged that a consid- erable body of men could be trained and put on the firing line who other- wise could not be sent forward for months.
