Increased activity in the enforce- ment of traffic and moter vehicle reg- ulations is indicated by the larger number of arresis for viglation of vehi- cle laws. The police are finding con- siderable use for the little red tags to attach to automobiles that are found standing with lights out or parked tac long so that probably over half a doz- en machines have been & d _each night since the plan was started last Saturday. For furture reeord a card index is kept of all pachines that have had the red tag tied te them, the first tae serving as a wamlng in most cases. while a second tag will probg- Bly mean a fine upan appearance in the police court.

He took an ap- peal to the common pleas court and furnished a bond of $100. WILD TROLLEY RIDE IN MYSTIC VILLAGE Car Ryn Down Parks Hill to Car Barn With Brakes Useless. Running without its brakes work- ing, a trolley car in Mystic on Wed- nesday morning about 10.20 made a wild flight down Parks hill to the car barn befure it could be brought to a stop. The car sailed down the steep grade and around two sharp curves, uncontrolled by brakes, but kept to the rails all the way, The trouble started at the corner of School street, in West Mystic, whers flames were discovered underneath the presumabiy due to a short circuit. These were extinguished eas- ily, but they had evidently destroyed the effectiveness of the air brakes. The car proceeded al right until Parks' hill was reached and when Motorman Wilcox tried to apply the brakes thev failed to work and the car rapidly zathered speed as it descended the steep incline. Efforts to use the hand brakes by Motorman Wilcox and at the rear of the car by Conductor John Branch, who was riding on the car, though not cf its crew, were fu- tile. The ecar scooted past Fort Rachel plaee ani to the car barn before it could be brought to a stop. As it lurcked around the curves the pas- sengers were thrown about and some of them bruised, but fortunately nene was injured seriously. One passenger, Ralph Packer, jumped off during the flight of the car, but he gnded safe- Iy T, JUDGE REED TO HEAR First Hearing in Suit to Test Validity of Water Beard’s Action, Before Judge Reed of the supgrior court the first hearing will be held this (Thursday) morming at Stafford Springs in the suit of Edwin S.

A large red heart showing on the au- tomobile of Henry H. Vignot of 218 ington strest called attention on Wedhescday to the.fact that he is the pioneer in introducing in Norwich a custom that is taking a strong hold in Boston with automobile owners. ~'“Have a heart” is the message of the big ro! heurt towards the ssoldiers and sailors whom_ you may possibly assist in giving 2 ride to their des- tination when you are driving a car with plenty of empty seats in it while some “jackie” or “doughboy” may have an empty pocket or at best a scant-filled one that can ill afforfl much in the way of car fare. So Baston autgmqh;le owners have adopted the custom of displaying a big red heart in their cars as a sisn that any soldier or sailor may jusg signal from the sidewalk and the auto driver with room in his car wijl be glad to take him'in.

LULL PORTENDS A BATTLE OF MAGNITUDE How Washington Officials Interpret Latest Adviges From France. Washington, July 31.—An odd calm fell gver the Aisne-Marne battle area today with only the thunder of the guns to tell of new and more terribie gusts of the war storm to come. Just what the jull may portend was not apparent. |Pussibly the enemy already is on the move after ths de- cisive defeat he met in the battle which4began Saturday and centered on the American positions along the north bank of the Ourcq. Here the American Third division and the now famous Forty-second division, the Rainbow division, composed of former national guardsmen of many states, have made good their positions against the enemy’s best fighting units. They have met, outfought and forced bac ward by their fierce ardor picked Prussian and Bavarian divisions brought fresh to the field with orders to hold the line of the Ourcq at all costs, Enemy Line Has Been Broken. That line has been brcken. The American spearhead, driven forward again and again, finally broke the fighting edge of the enemy defence. When supporting columns surged for- ward across the Ourcq to consolidate the ground so valiantly wen and held by the first rush. enemy hopes of clinging to the present line dwindled. Holding the apex of the allied line at the center, the Americans had paved the way for the dashing capture of Chalmont Butte {c the westward by the Franco-British forces. Allied guns now dominate the enemy's lines from this height, foretelling new inroads to his positions and the strong prob- ability that he will be compelled to fall back to the Vesle line. All Objectives Abandoned. Putting aside the reserve with which he hitherto has commented on the wider aspects. of the battle, Gen- eral March told the newspapermen at his mid-week conference today that each army was now bent on the de- struction of the cther; all lesset stra- tegic objectives having een swept away on hoth sides. The missidn of each is to kill; to destroy the fighting power of the cther. It is the ultimate military objective that botn are seek- ing now and.there can be no halting short of the goal! As General March never before has talked at these conferenees in general terms, wkan he turned today from the pin dotted map where the turn and sway of the battle was outlined in de- tail, therefore and for the first time disclosed the true sigmificance of the struggle in the narrow confined of the Aisne-Marne field, his wcrds carried conviction to his hearers. Six New Divisions Created. ¢ Coming to the army being trained here to support the men ot the front, General March said he had crdered six new divisiens created making the fighting elements of two new army corps or twelve divisions which has added to the military establishment in the last two weeks. Again two well trained regular regiments will be used is buiit. The chief of staff made it plain that it is a menthly programme of in- crease upon which the war depart- ment has embarked.

Information sought by the Japanese government upon cer- taln points of the American proposal looking to a definition of the aims and scope of any joint action now has been furnished by the state department. This places the whole subject agaim efore the Japanese foreign office at Tokio, which must determine whether the American propesal is now in a sufficiently concrete form to warrant the inauguration of a policy of action. Meanwhile, from unofficial sources comes news that in anticipation of a satisfactory conclusion of the' negotia- tions, Japan and the entente allies are perfecting their arrangements for the organization of whatever military force may be necessary for the execution of the joint agreement. Because of ‘their proximity to Siberia, Japan and China have been foremost in this work, with a full understanding and co-operation between the military commanders, al- though for strategic reasons the exaet extent and nature of these prepara- tions cannot be disclosed. To preserve the international char- acter of the enterprise, France and Great Britain are preparing contin- gents. The new rule regarding credit for freight goes into effect August 1.
