Rob- inson of Mansfield, Mass., in the play- off of the tie in the first division aft- er eleven o'clock at night. At the open- ing of the play Saturday morning Huott, E. W. Robinson, Williams and ‘Webb were "all possible champions. Huott was beaten by Webb and late in the afternoon was crowded out of first place when he lost a hard fought game to Willlams. Wiliiams also beat | Kirk and Webb, which left him with ten games won and three lost. Ever- ett Robinson plaved Webb in his fi- nal tournament game and won, tieing him with Williams. Mr. Williams suggested the divi- sion of the championship between himself and Mr. Robinson and later suggested that they toss for the championship. It was finally decided to playv off the tie in a single game as the hour was so late’ as to preclude the playing of tha usual three games. The game started at 10.15 and it was just an hour later that Williams drove his last ball against the sta Will- iams played a strong, even game all through the contest while his oppon- ent did not seem to be able to get go. ing.

John J. Nilan, bis the Hartford diocese. tr) the Catho- , Connecticut. Aug. 21, 1918 Dear Father:—In the present c of the war when all attention is n)\(‘(\ on the wonderful achievements of our American forces, we who remain at home must not lose sight of the seri- duty of providing for the mate: and moral support .of those who are fighting<our battles at the front. ow, more than ever, is the time or us to deny ourselves everything that be needed to carry our flag o The greater the number ¢f men in the army, the more abundant must be the supplies to feed, clothe and equip them. The call of millions of men to military service must nec- essarily reduce the number of pro- a n can be offset only by conser- n. Therefore, one can readily see vital is the comservation of food tor months to come. The demands from Europe require vast supplies- from the people of America. Just now conservation of sugar is most essential. The amount of sugar that may be used for each person for all purposes within the course of a month is only two pounds, This is due to the fact that very much is needed abroad and a consid- erable amount is reguired for canning and preserving fruits. The skillful housewife will be able to can more fruits and vegetables” and yet use a minimum amount of sugar, if she fol- lows the instructions given by our TUnited {States Food Administration. She will thus render an important pa- triotic service and at the same time oz store up supplies of much value for her own home. A mistaken impression has gone concerning the elimination of ctions in the use of wheat. Con- | servation of wheat is just as neces- ever, and for the present each still asked to mse not more pounds of wheat flour per month. We owe it to our men in ser- vice to prov: not only for their needs of tod but of tomorrlow as Because we have heen blessed with a bountiful harvest this year, we must not forget that prudence re- quires the accumulation of a reserve against possible lean ye What an irreparable injury ave shall do our soldiers if they should suffér from hunger on account of our failure to deny ourselves. Throughout the en- tire course of the war we should limit ourselves to dairy foods and va- rious kinds of perishable produce in order that our American soldiers may never lack the means to keep them- lves strong and vigorous in the struggle for vietory. Kindly urge your people to coon- erate in every way with the food ad- ministration by carefully carrying out the instructions published in the newspapers and pamphlets.

SAMMIES AMONG THE TOMMIES Not enough has been said in Can- oda regarding the decision at Wash- ington to place United States bat- talions in training in British divi sions. The need of using all avail- able troops, and of hastening the field nee of newly-arrived United forces,” brought the order to ink all other censiderations in serv- ing the general interests of the Al- lies at this critical time. General Pershing offered his whole army of about 100,000 field-experi- | Penced men to General Foch to be| way at the latter's di- o be allowed to | work was char- | But this is not all. .The continuous arrival of new troops re- quiring polishing up under actual war conditions had provided a large force of reserves, but partly ready. The problem was to hasten the bap- tism of fire for these troops, who will be badly needed during the summer. They could not be quickly and -ef- ficiently trained with the TUnited States front-line forces, because these were not in the fighting zone. Lan- guage difficulties made France in- struction too slow. The alternative was to put the new_troeps, unit by unit, in among the British divisions, where no difficulties of language or custom would be found. The first American djvisions sent to Mrance were trained with the French army on the ground that perhaps instruc- tion would be more gracefully re- ceived from the French than from the British. The latter seemed too much like family. relations. The system might have been continued had there been leisure for the round- ing out of American units, but the present emergency puts out of ~ques- tion any delay, ‘When the PBritish in preparing to comb out even the men of 50 from its’| population for military purposes and regards the question of reserves with anxiety, the prompt sinking of na- MARRIED.

ENGLAND AND FRANCE TUNNEL, England and France have talked about a tunnel under the Straits of Dover for more than a century. A tunnel would solve the problem of keeping communications open without risk of submarine attacks, and, four years of war, the project has gained a new lease of life. Such a tunnel could have been finished long ago construction had etarted as saon the military necessity for it became apparent in the first month of the war. Tunnel work of that kind does.mot call for the employment of many men. Only a limited number can work at the headings, and machines for Bering tunneis have been perfected which would work rapidly and efficiently in the chalk formation that underlies the strait. Such a tunnel could be flooded at a moment’s notice by faithful men on watch at each end if the Huns broke through tq Calais, so the mili- tary risk is gegligible. As it is, the work might be finished before the end of the war and be of material help in winning it. Its commercial import- ance has always been recognized, and it would have been constructed long ago were it not for the inveterate habit of the English to get into & blue funk over nothing. If the Huns reach Calais they will be able to command the Straits of Dover with their long-range guns, but they could not prevent the flooding or destruction of such a tunnel to save it from' falling into their hands. If the Entente allies win the war this tunnel will be constructed after it is over. Why not start now? Neither the expense nor the number of men required is a formidable obstacle~ New York Commercial. Church & Allen 15 Main Street FUNERAL DIRECTORS EMBALMERS Lady Assistant Telephnne‘;fl HENRY E.
