GOVERNMENT AUTOS PRESENT A PROBLEM, Motor vehicles bearing the insignia of the federal military forces and subject only te their jurisdiction are causing so much trouble to the motor vehicle department of the state that something is going to be done ahout it. says Motor Vehicle Commissioner R. B. Stoeckel. The rapid increase in numbers of such machines and the lack of consideration for Connecticut laws by some of the drivers, he said, makes a difficult problem, for instead of carrying the metal markers the maehines are supposed to carry, many of them have only a pasteboard mark- ed S.

With him went Albert, R. ‘Wells. colored. whose home is in Washington, D. C., and who was serv- ing a sentence for highway robbery committed in this city last Novem- ber. A chair standing under:a window from which one of the iron bars had been sawed out, the torn fly screen on the outside of the window, and' & broken rosebush underneath it showed the path of the prisoners’ escape. far as is known they were not seen as they left the jail zrounds on the Cedar street side of the building and they had probably been gone an hour before it was discovered that they were missing. 5 Jailer Oscar H. Main who has been flat on his back in bed with lumbago for the past week. insist®d on getting up for a short time as soon —as he heard of the escape and put the ma- chinery in motion to recapture the prisoners by informing the Norwich: police. Sheriff Sidney A. Brown Brown at New London, the police depart- ments of surrounding cities, and Con- stable H. E. Draper and Geosme H, Stanton of this city. Sher#f Brown came to the jall early in the eveing and took charge of the search for the two men. While Jailer Main h: been disabled. the jail work has been in charge of Turnkey William J. Simpson. Jailer Main has been under the doctor’s care and has not left his room for over a ing officials has evidently ‘given the two men their chance to work out the plans to escape. For some time past Salsberry and Wells have been given the occupation of caning chairs, doing this work in a corridor on the Cedar street side of the building, which has four or five iron-barred windows in it about eight feet above the flcor. They were the only two prisoners who were kept on this job, and while he was sic Main has given the turnk: instructions to keep frequent watch of the two men when they were out of their cells and at work. In some way or other, Salsberry, who is regarded as the brains of the combination. as he is a skilful m chanic_and used to handling too must have watched his .chance to climb up into_the window sill and work at sawing off one of the one and a half inch iron bars, while Wells kept SALSBERRY ESCAPES FROM JAL week and this ‘shortage of supervis- | AUGTST watch and warned him if there was any chanee of interruption. The win- dow sil) could be reached by using a -hnd stepping u);‘ on tlxl:e steam ipes that run along the wall. ‘When the bar had been sawed through, which was a cleanly done job, the iron bar was loosened from its socket at the bottom by working it baek and forth leaving a space about 18 inches wide through which a slim man could squeeze his body side- nn and dropping to the ground out- si How Salsberry could have got any tools to werk with was a mystery to Jailer Main, When he has had visit- ors he has always talked with them in the presence of a turnkey and' through a fine mesh wire scren-at the front of his cell. His wife and chil- dren are still in this city, living on North Main street, between smgh;nd Seventh streets. and have visited him. When the two men left they took their tools with them and also car- ried away the iron bar, as nothing could be found of that outside the jail. ¢ It was reported durinz the evening to_the police station that two men answering the description of the prisoners had been seem going through the “areh” on the Central Vermont railway tracks at the Falls about 4.30 o'elock. As there are freight trains passing along the line frequently all through the afternoon, it is considered { probable that they were on the look- iout for this means of getting away from this vieinity. Up to an early hour this (Friday) morning no other report of the fugitives had been re- ceived. Salsberry has shown before that he knows how to travel by the overland route, as he made his way to East Liverpool, O., last May after he shot Constable Kinrey and Herman Chap- man on May 6th, and was not cap- tured till 19 days later. The description of him ziven out by the authorities is as follows: Forty years old, 140 pounds, 5 feet 6 inches thin light moustache, heel on right shoe higher than lefi, limps_on right | foot. right leg artificial, quic® nimble | walker, bald headed, dark light o1 > vest, dark cap. He was about completinz his sen- tence for highway robbery on jast, when he hLeld up Benjamin Lavi with a revolver at Lavin's store on pring_street, but was scared away when Lavin smashed out a window iand shouted for help. CAMP DEWEY BOYS IN PERIL IN STORM After being stranded and storm- tossed several hours, rescued by light- house keepers and naval boats and towed back to Camp Dewey, ten ca- dets and two officers of the junior na- val eserves are now with their 300 comrades on a hike to Watch Hill, where they expect to remain two days They spent Thursday night at Groton Center. Paymaster Lloyd Hooper and Engi- neer Raminger in th: former's auxil- iary sioop Estelle, with three motor- boats in tow and ten eadets, left Camp Dewey Wednesday morning and. went around to Mystic to have the boats overhauled. Homeward bourd the flo- tilla left Mystic about five o'clock and cpposite Noank they ran into the storm. The cadets maniged some- how to get aboard the Estelle, as the smaller boats were tossed about in the hurrjcane like cockleshells. Soon they were enveloped in dark- ness and the boys all.donued life pre servers while Hooper and Raminger stood by, expecting every minute to e dashed on the rocks. At the height of the storm the engine of the Estelle broke down and the boat was then at the mercy of the sea iliary, a sail was raised, but no one was able to manipulate it, and the canvas was lowered. About that time the storm subsided almost as quickly as it came up. The little fleet drifted away out of its course, and as Mr. Hooper biew a horn he finally heard a voice come out of the darkness. In relating his experience vesterday he said it was the most welcome voice he ever heard. It seems that Mr. Burkhart, the keeper of the North Dumpling lighthouse had. heard the horn and put out in a_small motor- boat. With a Mr. Smith, a visiting lighthouse keeper, they brouzht along 4 can of gasoline, but that was not needed. Then Mr. Burkhart velunteer- cd.ta take Mr. Hooper over to the na- val calling ship, which he did. The cfficer in charge very kindly got per- mission for the navai patrol boat Mag- istrate in charge of Boatswain An- thony to come down from New Lon- don and rescue the Junior Naval Re- serve fleet. The Magistrate reached the strand- a shout of joy if ever therc was one from tRe ten cadets who were experi- encing their first storm at sea. The Magistrate towed the boats back to the naval calling ship. The officer in charge again: commu- nicated with the commandant of the New London naval station. and he sent down the Nichtingale, Submarine Patrol 525, with orders to tow the Junior Naval Reserve boats _seven {miles up the Thames to Camp Dews | which was reached at half-past two o'clock Thursday morning. All hands, through the press, wish to heartil thank the naval officials and crews {and, lighthouse keepers for coming to | their assistance. One of the crew on the Magistrate, Seaman Haworth, is a former Junior Naval Reserve, and he was both surprised and delighted in being able to assist in the rescue of some of his former comrades, TWO BOYS MISSING FROM THEIR HOMES, Peter Yankowsky and Willie Bohara, aged 9 and 8 vears, respectively, dis- appeareq from their homes in the Falls neighborhood about 11 o'clock Thurs- doy morning and have not been heard of since. About 3 o'clock Mrs. Bohara saw the boys swimming in the river at the Falls, but as she called to them they picked up their clothes and ran. This was thie last seen of them. The boys were barefooted, with blue knee trousers, white shirts and no hats. It is possible that they may visit a farm owned by Mr. Podler near Fitchville, as they had done this onee before.

Allied forces have heen landed along the shore of Onega bay, 100 miles south of Archangel, for the purpose of intercepting Bolshevik forces retiring from Archangel, it is learned here. Another allied detachment is push- ing toward Kotlass, 260 miles south of Archangel, on the Dvina river. South of the Volga river, Generals Alexieff and Denikine apparently are endeavoring to amalgamate their anti- Bolshevik forces with the army of the Czecho-Slovaks.

GERMANS IN SOME FORCE ALONG NEW SOMME FRONT ‘With the British Army in France, Aug. 16—(By The Assoclated Press, 3 D..m). There have been no further striking developments today in t situation on the new Somme battle front or immediately morth of it where the Germans have been evae- uating advanced posts in a manner somewhat similar to that preeeding their withdrawal last year to the Hindenburg line. The epemy seems to be in ‘some force along the mew front south of the Somme where he has been driven by the allied armies. His principal foves seems to be bétweem Chanines «nd Roye.

Baruch warns us th are | d on to bear much heavier burdens and feel much sharper deprivations in_ the future. The one thinz that counts, he says, is to win ar, and win it so smashingly that future wars will be made im- possible. To that end the Govern- ment which does not hesitate to call on its soidiers to sacrifice their lives, will not hesitate to call on_eivil; s to sacrifice their property, if urgent necessity demands. The life of every American is. today. at the call of his country. The property of every American is equaily subject to the same call It would, indeed, be strahge injustice to comsider human life as less sacreq than human pos- sessions. “All ‘that a man hath will he give for his life” Service in the highest degree implies also service in any lesser degree. If the war continues—as there is reason to fear it will—for at least anotier vear, we of America will not unlikely be called on to undergo priv ations and feal needs greater than any we have yet experienced—priv and losses perhaps as great which England and France have borne and are still bearing with stern pa- tience .and uncomplaining . lips. Assuming thit reasonable prospect, what are Americans going to do about it? To brivg things still nearer home, what are we farmers going to do about 1t? In one very true sense, we farmers are as much at the service and in the service of our country as the marires at Cantigny were, or the Connecticut boys at Chateau-Thierry.

For what would guns or munitions avail without men (o use them? There are some scat- tering evidences, outside. of mere words, that the present governm appreciates this fact. Some = have been taken in the interests of the. food-producers—not for their own comfort or weifare, but for the sake of the service which is demandgd of them Nevertheless, it is not unlikely that we farmers wili have to feel the pinching of the serews of war in the fu ture even more keenly than in the p: We are short of labor: we are going to be shorter. We have difficulty get- ting proper fertilizers: we are going to have vet more difficulty. We are compelled to pay exorbitant prices for tools and supplies: we are ltkely to find ourselves compelied to do with- out either, except as we can im- provise or Tecieim then. It 1sn't a gocd time for any of us to think about enlarginz our borders or buliding bigger barns. It is, rather, a time for us to take careful stock of the old things and see how, by a hook or crook,-we-can - make them ‘arry us through. On the farms as well as in kitchens and everywhere else the aim of us all should be econo the use of everything.

Tut when .we can'te—ah, them's when the nippers pinch and-we feel .nclined to_squeai! Nevertheless, we've got to shut off the squeal before it utters itself and cork up the criticism; before it is spoken. For the reason, among others, that there are over a hundred million people in this country, no teo of whom think exactly alike about every- thing: no two of whom have exactly the same needs: no two of whom have exactly the same habits of life. The government has to consider, not your and my individual conditions, but the general situation among the Whole nundred millions. Moreover, the.go¥- ernment is composed of fallible hu- man bhings, no wiser or brighter than the rest of us. In trying, mo matter. how faitfully, to_even up some basis of regulation which shall best fit average conditions, officlals are al- most certain to make some mistakes and cause some wholly needless am- noyance. They. wouldn't be human if they didn't. Put we, that is to say, the majority of us, acting freely and on ample time for consideration, put the present government in charge. Whether we think, now, that they’ré the best choice we could bave made does not matter.

Later om, at the proper time, we think best to change the personnel of the goverm- | ment that will be our privilege and right. In the meantime, It's 3 trins ta take our medicine and look pleasant.
