Most Part, the Order Who Drove Kingstonians For the r~Failed to Heed Some Were Jeered Cars, It was unfortunate that a minority of Kingston motorists did not accede to the request of the Fuel Controller to conserve gasoline on Sunday. Most of the automobile owners laid up tifeir cars for the day, but some of the Joyriders, who brought Kingston mo- torists into such disrepute some time ago that the strict enforcement of the traffic regulations became a megessity, could not resist the temptation. The garage owners closed up their service stations for the day,! but for the most part King- stonians did not adhere to the request, The medical profes- sion and the taxi drivers, of course, were out, but besides these there were a number of other drivers who had no right to be on the streets. One car on Princess street, with three young men in the front seat, who spent the evening motoring up and down, were jeered at by passersby, but the cries did not seem to affect them, A soldier, who was on guard 2 > gpeEY YA ROYAUMEIX . ) ye The shaded areas show approximate gains by Americans on the sides the Vigneulles was captured by the drivefrom the east or the west, but later The Germans admit the evacuation of the A Pg at Barriefield,stated that the majority of the motorists passing the camp | were going into the ¢ity and very few | came from Kingston, i One man informed the Whig that if | he wanted to use his auto he would | wind nothing but an order would stop | him.

PID IDDDIODET POOP TILIOd British Saved Millions By Pooling War Profits And Abuses Were Revealed SABO OOD DLS PDP PIPO DIDS HE British Committee of Na- tional Expenditure, of which Mr. Herbert Samnpel is chairman, has issued its re- port on expenditures by the Ministry of Munitions. Abuses in the spending of public money are revealed which amply justify the setting up of the committee. © The system, or lack of system, hitherto in vogue is éxamin- ed, anfl recommendations #re made for strengthening the financial con- trol at the Ministry. The extent of the transactions un- der review may be judged from the fact that something like 66 millions have been spent in the ection and equipping of national f ctories, grants of 16 millions have been made of private firms, and Ministry pro- perty in the form of building plant and tools placed.in private works amounted roughly to another 17 mil- lions In February the Munitions Works Board was sot up to consider every » of extension by a control- led establishment, involving expendi- ture of £500 or cver, but so far as the question of necessity was con- cerned, say the committee, the word of the particular supply 'department responsible had to be accepted. Two instances quoted show the high rate of profit obtained by firms through prices negotiated by the sup- ply branches, in one without refoy- ence to the firm's wanufacturing costs, which were already possessed by the finance branch, "In the case of cordite alone, no less than £3,000,000 is stated to have been saved through the reduction of prices following accountants' investi- gations. It is claimed: that the reduc- tions in the contract prices of gun ammunition following technical in- vestigations of costs and experience gained In national factories have re- sulted in savings of over £35,000,000 during the two years from Septewm- ber, 1915. In the case of one con- tract, the gun equipments, nt which owing to ignorance regarding cost it was originally decided to accept the firma's audited figures, an agreement was finally reached after investiga- tions by Ministry accountants, with a reduction of £2,000,000 on the auditors' figure of £7,750,000. "In the case of aircraft contracts accountants' investigations have re- duced provisionally tenders amount- ing to about £7,000,000 by at least £1,000,000, the contracts of one firm alone, originally estimated at £1.- 500,000, being cut down by £225.- 000." The remedy, the commifies | say. Is to be found in the extended | employment of the Technical Costing Branch, its present membership of 20 being increased to at least 50. { Among individual cases whith , hive come before the commits { either as being typical or as Nustrat- , ing other points, the following may be quoted: Engineering product, price £4 9s. 6d.-"<In the year 1917 an investigation of the books of one firtln showed a profit of 27 per cent. a the turnover before allowing for d ation, or 340 per cent. on the capital as it stood 'on the books of the company. : ! Engineering Product, price about £4,000. -- On the Ministry's rough . estimate of cost the total t on the first order of August, 1916, for 1,000, at a price agreed by the Sup- ply Branch, amounted to £1,300,00v. The firm themselves offered a consid- erable rebate if they received a fur- ther order. On the same costing esti- mate this new order of August, 1917, which wes balf as large stil gave a profit of no 5 8800.00. \ ¥ TY YY Si September is the month of home attractive.

The above date was recalled by many citizens on Monday morning, as Ht was on that day that the bar rooms were called upon by law to get rid of all their "strong stuff." "Just two years ago," one citizen was heard to remark, "but it seems more like fifty years." k This man, no doubt, is very fond of his liquor. "It makes one think of the old times when there was po trouble in getting liquor so long as you had the price," another was heard to say. "Hope the comes back," another. And during the day comment of various kinds could be heard about the matter. strong stuff never was the comment of "KINGSTON THE GOOD." Session of the Police Conrt in Seyxeral Days.
