Loving Hearts Brought W Through Snow and Sandwiches- The capefs of Cupid have at divers times cut some funny pranks, but the latest reported is where a bliz- zard, a hello girl, a guard and some sandwiches are involved. It 1s this way. During the progress of - sto two years ago the American. District Telegraph company had employes working as guards about the streets of Hartford, and one of these hap- pened to Frank E. Seidor .of this city, whose residence is ffot given in the city directory. Stationed across the street from the spot where Seidor was standing is the Hartford telephone exchange. A number of women em- ployes of the company were marooned in the building unable to get home on account .of the flercegess of the storm. Among tliem was Miss Helen L- Lally of Wethersfield. When the pangs of hunger over- came the group, one of them timidly asked Mr. Seidor if he would accom- modate them : by securing the party some sandwiches. Complying with the request, Seidor distributed the sand- IN NEW BRITAIN (Continued from First Page.) thosé¢ who are employed during the day, so as to avoid necessity of ap- plicants losing their day's work.

Emmanuel Havenith, B n imin- ister to the United States, flled a pro- test ‘with Secretary Lansing last July against the practice of Germany of forcing Belgians residing in the empire to join the German army.

The Ger- man government contended that Bel- glans resident in Germany for five Years prior to the war had lost their nationality and were subject to the laws of the empire, including en- forced military service.
