JOIN THE RED CROSS. Almost six thousand new members have been enmrolled in ‘the New Bri- tain branch of the Red Cross since the campaign for augmented mem- bership began here last week. This is " indeed good work. Before - the { week 15 out the roster may contain the names of ten thousand persons. Byery person who is not actually EOINE 'to thé front should join the American Red Cross. The member- ship fee is one dollar. A dollar given to such a cause as this could not better ‘be expended. The Red Cross has won fits medal of honor on the battlefields. of Europe. It has cared for the sick and wounded of other armies than our own. It has drawn no line of nationality. It has admin- istered to all alike. Even with the United States at war the Red Cross will not confine its activities to our troops. When occasion demands its tender works of mercy will be ex- tended even to the enemy. It is estimated by the officials at ‘Washington that $100,000,000 will be necessary to carry on Red Cross work now that the United States has en- tered the conflict. If the soclety de- pended merely upon the membership fees collected each year it would re- quire a membership of 100,000,000 to bring about the raising of this sum. That would mean that almost every man, woman and child in the United States would have to enlist in the cause. New Britain can and will do its share of Red Cross work.

So while Minister .of War Kerensky is on the battle-front resolved to break up the foolish alllance that some Russian soldiers are fostering between their companies and com- panies of the Germany army, the stal- wart patriots at Petrograd and other interior places are working for a re- organization of the Russian spirft. Kerensky is confronted with the task of stopping desertions. If his policy of the “iron hand”, succeeds we shall see the attack lmnlt the Germans on the Rumanian front, the attack which Berlin announces it ex- pects. It all rests with Kerensky. He is the man we must watch. If he falls, there is no telling what might happen. FACTS AND FANCIES.

Meskill in police court today, given somel excellent ad- vice and allowed to g0 under.a sus- pended scntence. He was informed that, no matter as to the provocation, he must not lay violent hands on his wite, but 1f there {8 cause for chas- tlumant, submit the facts to the pros- | ecuting attorney’s office. Davis ad- mitted laying hands on his wife, shov- ing her and using other violence, but said that it was due to her being with & railroad brakeman, gossiping with him and otherwise gcting in, accord- For some time the domestic harmony of the Davis’ life has been broken, there being a lost chord that the au- thoritles have been unable to. locate and repair. As a result, Davis is no stranger in court and his domestic troubles have received much attention from Probation Officer FEdward C. Connolly and other authorities. Having a ring of truth, Davis ad- mitted the wife-assault charge, but contended that there were some facts that justified the treatment, in a way. Left with the care of two children, he testifled, one a two-weeks-old infant, he has done his best to provide for them. Yesterday afternoon; he testi- fled, he was wheeling the infant on the street in a go-cart and saw his wife in company with another woman gossiping with several soldlers. He believed the women were simply flirt- ing and it did not meet with his ap- proval. There was'a remonstrance that was met with ridicule. He said that his wife refused to acknowledge him or to even glance at the infant. It was a limit to patlence, he said, when a little later he reached the Curtis street crossing and discovered the woman who bears his name in conversation with a brakeman. There was no idea of vengeance, he said, in his treatment of her. According to his statement, he simply objected to her making a show of herself and openly consorting with soldiers and brakemen. Mrs. Davis told a heart- breaking story of the treatment by her spouse, and said her arms were black and blue from his violent hand- ling. She said she now occupies a room at 28 Church street and has se- cured employment at the plant of the American Hoslery company. Spec- tators of the bout between Mr. and Mrs. Davis telephoned to police head- quarters, and Policeman George E. Ellinger was called to act. He made the arrest. Girl Tells of Assault. Charged with criminal assault upon Alice Mierzejewski, aged thirteen years, of Silver street, Wladyslaw | Biatourysa, aged twenty-tour years, of Plainville, formerly a boarder in the Mierzejewski home, was held for the June term of superior court under bonds of $2,600. The alleged victim of the assault, described as an epilep- tic and deficient mentally, admitted intimacy with the accused upon two occasions. Dr. Harry A. Elcock tes tified to the condition of the alleged victim, following an examination this morning. His testimony verified the claims of the girl. It was testifled that neighbors, becoming suspicious over seeing the accused and the girl going into the cellar of her home late vesterday, investigated. As they light- ed matches to aid them in their search, Wladyslaw is alleged to have fled, leaving his cap behind. The cap was later found and identified. Po- liceman Hanford W. Dart made the arrest upon complaint. The girl, seemingly not realizing the nature of the case and proceedings, hesitating- ly (told of her alleged intimacy with the accused. She testified that he warned' her hot to tell anyone and threatened her with dire results should she inform of his conduct. Threatened by “Black Hand.” A plea of guilty, entered by Attor- ney A. A. Greenberg, prevented, what the police: say would have been, isen- sational developments in connection with the arraignment of Carlo Lom- bardo of 285 Myrtle street, charged with assault with a stilleto upon Frank Denezzio in a Ralilroad Arcade restaurant Monday night. A fine of | $25 and costs was imposed, no testi- | mony beyond a statement of fact by Prosecuting Attorney Klett being en- tered. According to statement by At- torney Greenberg, Lombardo had be- come angered by the insistence of Denezzio .relative to the payment of an alleged loan. , Hegcontended that the accused had been threatened with thes'Black Hapdy if the loan was not | pait, apd was despegate over the sit- sation.” Denezzio, . taken into “custody * on Main street yesterday by Detective A ¥, Richardson, claimed that his pre- viously mysteriously absenting himself fram,; ceurt .was because he had been thregtened with “Blagk Hand” ven- gesnt if he should appear and tes- tify agyinst: the accused.
