OFFICER APPLICANTS NEED NOT GO TO WASHINGTON Applicants for commissions in staff corps and departments of the army need no longer come or write to Wash- ington to have their applications act- ed upen. General March, chief of staff, announced that the procurement officers for all branches of the army has been centralized in the personnel branch of the general staff and that district headguarters have been es- tablished in thirteen principal cities to which applications can be made. Sep- arate recruiting endeavors of indi- vidual staff corps are discontinued. Announcement will bs made from the Washington headquarters of the recruiting seotion of - the personnel hranch of needs for officers. If the civilian thinks he bas the necessary qualificatfons, he will communicate with the nearest district headquarters | H. and an application will be sent to him. Later he will be examined and, if found to be qualified, he will be rec- ommended tc the persomnal branch. In case the need for officers which attracted the applcant has already been filled or his qualifications are considered to maie him move suitable for some other service, his application may be transferred or held.

This is the same basis upon which the {fares have been charged for some {time on all lines of the Shore Line|* System with the exception of the| Norwich-Westerly — and Westerly- | Groton Lines and it is upon these lat- ter lines of the system that the rates now become effective. For a ride bstween Westerly and Brook St., Noank, the charge will be 34 cents in either direction, between Westerly and Groton 52 cents, and be- tween Westerly and New London the charge will be 56 cents. These are the exceptions mentioned abave. The {new rates are exclusive of the WAR | | TAX which will be collected in the same manner and on the same basis as in the past. The TRANSFER PRIVILEGES in Westerly remain unchanged. in Nor- wich a five cent fare will be col- i lected between Silk Mill and Frankli Square and passenger will be en- titled to Norwich local transfer, When traveling in the reverse d rection, Norwich local transfer will be good for a ride to the Silk MIII. At New London a ‘special form of | nst sald estate to the | transfer will be sold for seven cents| entitling passenger to ride from New | London to Phelps and for nine cents entitling passenger to ride from New London to Poquonnoc Siding on the Groton-Westerly Line. The same | rates apply when traveling in the! opposite direction. COMMUTATION. TICKETS will be handled as at present and a mini- mum of three PUPILS’ TICKETS will | be accepted for a ride within one| zone. All other collections of pupils’ tickets will be half the adult fare and where a fraction of a cent is involved, the next highest whole numbker of tickets will be taken up. The need for ‘the increass is too well known to require any comment. The increased cost of everything en- tering into ti® transportation serw- ice has been so great that many roads are involved in serious financial dif- ficulties and the delay in applying the new rate on the particular rates af- fected has been due to the fact that ==|the Interstate Commerce Commission A.
