The i S SEEN BY BUELL Ambulance Driver Also Bescribes Experience in Gas Attack Several of the most interesting of | ‘William Buell’s letters to his parents in this city are printed below. He | descripes his first experience with the terrible gasses which the “War Lord of Europe” thinks will help him in his scheme for world conquest. ““There are two kinds of gasses which we have encountered so far but there is a third kind which is far more | deadly,” he writes. “The third kind | strangles and eats away the flesh ‘where there is perspiration on a per- son’s body. There will be no halfway business, we are out to get Fritz," he states. Incidentally he remarks that he visited a prison camp where Count von Bernstort's son, a captain in the German army, is a prisoner. “Somewhere in France, “Sept. 3, 1917. “Dear Father and Mother:— “Several of us went to the#Boche prison camp yesterday.- Count von Berastorf’s -son is a pridoner there Ie is a captain in the German army. We tried to take his picturé but he would hide his face. I secured a Boche helmet and a gas mask. We cut the buttons off the clothes of sev- eral of the prisoners. “Several Boche aviators flew over us last night and dropped bombs all around. We have a narrow trench about six feet deep in which we all sleep. In a trench the chance of get- ting hit by fragments from the bombs is very slight as the bomb must land | directly in the trench or else the pleces go over our heads. There is not one chance in a hundred of one landing in a trench only wide enough for one to squeeze into." “SomewheYe in France, “‘Sept. 4, 1917. “Driving last night was very diffi- cult as therg was no moon and a \heavy fog. ere was a big gas at- tack and we were all very busy.

We are in it now to trim Frits, no half-way business. “Three men in our section were gassed. It is very hard to see with a gas mask on as the eyes steam up. Also it is difficult to breathe as we have to breathe through a chemical on layers of gause. “There are two common kinds of gas, mustard gas and pineapple gas, 80 called because théy smell like mus- tard and pineapple.

NEIGHBORS QI_IARREL Stanley Strect Woman Given Warning A, by Judge and Allowed to Return Home—Coat Costs $25. Mrs. Guida Carlson, of 415 Stanley street, appeared in court this morning, charged with bréach of the peace on October 31. She pleaded not guilty. Mrs. Barry, who lives in the same house, testified that she was out hang- ing clothes on the line and Mrs. Carl- son told her to go into the house, as she was quarantined. According to the witness, Mrs. Carlson called her vile names. Mrs.\Barnes, of the same address, told the ¢ourt that! she was beating her carpét in the yard when she had some words over the closing of the door with Mrs. Carlson, who, | she claimed, called her bad names. The defendant testified that Mrs. Barnes called her a street-walker and that she wanted the door open to let in the air, as the dwelling was quar- antined. She denied calling any bad names and said that she had been ardered to move. Judge : Meskill, after giving Mrs. Carlson a warning, freed her. John Flemming, of Hartford, ar- rested yesterday noon on Main street, charged with indecent exposure, was given four manths guilty. Joseph Kislofski, charged with the theft of a coat and an overcoat from Joseph Jegis in Slaskll’s salaon yes- terday noon, was fined $25 &nd costs. He pleaded not guilty. Officer Hayes, who made the arrest upon complaint of Jegis, testified that he went to the home of the defendant on Grove street and found the coats in a closet. Lorenzo Nye, wha takes care of the saloon, stated that he saw the defen- dant take the coats, but thought noth- ing of it. Jegis testified that he went into the saloon and took off his coats and hung them up on a k and was playing paol. “I was drunk and went into the saloon and fell asleep,’ sald Kislofski. He added that when he woke up he thought he had left his coats on the hock and took them. WEEKLY TRANSACTIONS. Twenty-one Pleces of’ Property Change Hands—12 Marriage Licenses Issued.

Although all tax lists should have been filed by property owners by Oc- tober 31, it is estimated in the as- sessors’ office that fully 400 have neg- lected to do so. In such cases the sssessors fix their own valuation and add a fine of 10 per cent. extra. Last year these fines netted the city about $4,000 additional money. photo | | in jail.

Grocery Popular and Has Thousand Customers | The Universal Co-operative society, incorporated some three months ago has proved to be a wonderful suc- cess, according to Manager Owen and the board of directors., With a large lstore on East Main street, established | for the benefit of the employes of ! Landers, Frary & Clark, over a thou- | sand employes have been able to buy | their household supplies practically at | cost. Through the co-operation and mor- al support of the Landers, Frary & ,Clark Co., the society was ablo to secure a large store 120 by 45 feet, cn East Main street free of rent and the heat and lights at cost. The | bullding is unusually adapted for.a store with its large front. An office {18 located.in the center of the store { With long counters on each side. On both sides of the office the goods are {lald out the same way so that a ' person entering the lower end of the ,Store would not necessarily have .to i walk to the other end for any article. | The shelves are laid out on the plan !of a factory stock room, the goods i being in view for the customers all the time. They are not handled by | the customers. All sales are cash | sales and there are no deliveries. 17 Since the establishment of the store the directors estimate that the volume of business has increased two fold. John Owen, the manager, has full charge of both the buying and selling. Joseph O. Elmer is president of the society, Oscar A. Marsh treasurer and {A. G. Anderson secretary. The direc- | tors besides the officers are F. B. Lan- don, Herhert Webster, John J. Heck- lin and Joseph Owsiak. According to the by laws of the society any employe of Landers, Frary & Clark may become a member of the soclety by paying a mebership fee of $10. The membership fee is good at any time for merchandise not over the amount of the fee. Any member may withdraw from membership and is entitled to receive the balance of his membership fees over any indebtness. When a member leaves the com- pany he ceases to be a member, and he receives his membership fee back above indebtness if there should be any. It was stated by the manager that the store is not run in competi- tion with other merchants but is run strictly for the employes of the fac- tory, so that they may get their TFousehold articles as cheap as pos- sible and be caused less trouble by Mr. High Cost of Living. | ! ATTACKS CORPORATION. Lawyer C. H. Mitchell Enters Protest Against Alleged Nulsanoce, . The now historic lawsuit of Mit- chell vs, the United Electric Light and Water company was again heard in the city court yesterday. Lawyer C. H. Mitchell seeks damages because, it is alleged, the Wghting company strung wires across his property on Lincoln street. He previously brought action for an injunction and when that was not granted he sought damages. Lawyer Mitchell, assisted by Judge F. B. Hungerford. is fighting his own case, while Judge W. F. Henney, of i Hartford, represents the corporation. ! Lawver Mitchell declared in his ar- | gument that the lighting company has | no more right to invade his property than Germany had to invade Belgium. | “It they are allowed to push me | this much off my property they will | soon be able to take it all,” he pro- tested. . In conclusion, Lawyer Mitchell de- clared that “if they can be upheld in the courts, then a person should not be blamed if, some day, he goes out and cuts down those wires.” APPRAISE COITY PROPERTY. City Hall Building and Tenements Valued at Quarter of Million. An appraisal of the buildings owned by the city, comprising the city hall building and the Washington Place tenements, has been completed by John W. Allen of this city and Frank Blss of Hartford, and shows that the properties are worth upwards of a quarter of a million. The city hal bulkding is appraised at $222,293 and the tenement block at $15,933, mak- ing a total of $238,226. This amount does not represent the market value, however, as the ap- praisal includes only the insurablt value of the bufldings and does nov ! include the value of the land. | FIVE NEW COPS NAMED, | Police Commissioners Select Super- numerary Policemen in Secret. Continuing their practice of holding star chamber sessions, the board of palice commissioners met ‘‘somewhere in private” last night and appolated five supernumerary policemen. These new blue coats are James E. Cicere, who took out his naturalization pa- pers only a few weeks ago and im- medlately made application; Henry Friedman, Thomas J. Tierney, John C. Stadler and David Moore. It was also voted to have the cells at police headquarters cleaned and painted. If any other business was transacted the commissioners are keeping it to themselves. STANLEY WORKS PAPER. Under the auspices of the Stanley club, composed of members of the of- fice force of The Stanley Works, a bi- monthly publication, known as ‘“The Stanley Workers,” has made its ap- pearance. This paper is published es- sentlally that the men from this plant who are in the government service may be kept informed of the shop ac- tivities, socials and the more intimate items in which they- may have an interest. | THE GOLONEL TALK Roosevelt Given Big Ovatioq As He Speaks in Hartford Hartford, Nov. 3—Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, always popular in Connec- . ticut, was given a big ovation here last night when he addressed thau-‘ sands of citizens on the war. He came here to speak under the auspices of | the State Council of Defense, and be- fore entering the armory, where he was scheduled to talk, he stopped out- side and gave a talk to over 5,000 persons who were unable to gain ad- mission to the bulldirg. The colonel, with 15,000 other per- sons, sang the Star Spangled Banner, and he sang it lustily, too. His speech was greeted with thunderous ap- plause, and the former president beamed his famous smile. He said, in part: Mr. Chairman: Governor: And you men and women of Connecticut: 1 am glad to come here because I state only the bare truth when I say that Connecticut—under your leadership, governor—has taken the lead amon the states of this country in prepar- ing to do and in doing its duty in this great war. This old commonwealth, one of the thirteen original states, took the lead and jumped to the front when ,the great question of loyalty or disloyalty to this flag and to our ancient ideals was to be tried by wager of battle. I congratulate you, men and women of Connecticut, I congratulate you upon the work you have done in the many activities demanded since we went to war; and I congratulate you with all my heart that you have had as chief executive of the state the man to whom we have Hstened to- night. And now, friends, I have come here, not to give you a lead, for you.do not have to have a lead, but what T have come here to do is to back up the men of your own state who have led you aright. I have come here to back up the governor, to back up the state council of defense, to back up the men and women who have made Connecticut do its duty and above all to say to ask you to see to it, men and women of Connecticut, that your sons and brothers who have gone to fight for this country and for the hopes of mankind shall be backed by you with every ounce of strength you have in you. If my speech 'needs a keynote, it is this: We are in this war to a finish, and we will put it through at no mat- ter what cost of men and money, and no matter what time is necessary in order that we may win the peace of overwhelming victory. And governor, among the things upon which I congratulate you is your admirable Home Guard, a guard composed, &s I understand it, of men who, for age or other reasoms, can- not go to the front, and who, there- fore take up the duty of defense at home. We have two sets of enemies of this country, first, the Hun outside our gates, the Hun whom our people, our soldiers have gone abroad to fight; and then we have the Hun in- side our gates, the disloyal man here. I don’t care what shape his disloyalty takes; I don't care whether he is a wealthy man who tries to make an improper profit out of the country, or an I. W. W. man or Germanized so- tialist who acts in the interests of the Hohenzollerns. America has been a little slow in waking up, but she is beginning to get awake. I wish to advise the Hun within our gates that if he continues his activities, it will be bad for him when America grows fully awake. There is one point in which I will with hearty enthusiasm emulate Ger- many, and that is in treating every pro-German here as Germany would treat every pro-American on the other side. b The first thing for us to resolve is that there be only one standard of loyalty in this country. We have all of us been more or less blind, until this war came, to the fact that there were a great many people in this country who treated it not as a na- tion, but as what I have called a polygot boarding house, in which dol- lar-hunters of twenty different na- tionalities shouldered one another out of the trough, and reserved all their real loyalty for some land across the sea. Either a man is an American, and nothing but an American, or he is not an American at all.. And that is equally true whether his American- ism is corroded by love for some other country or by hatred of some other country. The man who tells you that he loves Germany as he lovés the United States is an enemy of the TUnited States. The man who announces that he hates Eng- land as much as he loves the United States is an enemy of the United States. We are in this war to win. As Gov- ernor Holcomb has ~said, for two years and a half we owed an ignoble safety to the armies of France and of England and to the British navy. Now, I will do evervthing I can for the allies. I am immensely grate- ful for what they have done. But I do not want Uncle Sam ever again to owe his safety to any one but him- self, 2 ‘ Now, friends, I wish to say on this matter of citizenship that it cannot be too often impressed upon you— impressed upon us—that we are a new people. We have the blood of many of the old world races in us. We are separated from all of them, and we will fail if we try to be like any of them. We must be Ameri- cans, nothing but Americans. We must develop our own ideals. T would have said our own “culture” if Germany had not made the term offensive to all decent people. , And one of the principles that we must develop is to treat every nation in| every crisis on its conduct {n that] If You're A Stout Man z}nd have had difficulty in securing clothes that fit, Satisfaction awaits you here in };hese Horsfall “Stout” Ready-for-Service Suits .Many stout men think that they can- not be fitted with re: Here are garments w y-for-service clothes. ich not only fit but are hand tailored to produce more slender lines as well as a conservative measure of youthful jauntiness.

We have got enough to do in attending to the faults of the present day. We need not go back for generations to think of them. I want to call further stfention to this: I come heresto one of the old thirteen states which joined in the Declaration of Independence. We are very, very proud, and rightly proud, of what the men of the Revo- lution did, and of why they did it and I ask you to remember this, that the deeds for which we rightfullly de- clared our independence and wen to war in 1776 were utterly trivial com- pared to the infamous cruelty and wrong inflicted upon us by Germany today. And the wrongs that she has done to us are utterly trivial compared to the wrongs that she has inflicted upon other peoples; and she did that —she embarked on that course of policy, she avowed that signal brutal- ity, her belief in the efliciency of the Dolicy of Schrecklichkeit, that is the policy of horror—because she count- ed on the element of cowardice {n the rest of mankind. She believed if she murdered the Belgian peopls right and left, not oply would she cow Belgium into a sudden fear ol | her power, but that she would cow ! the rest of the world—that she would cow the United States. And, for a oconsiderable period, it lodked as it her belief was right. The ablest ally, as far as we are concerned, of the German militarist old | EEt | Avon yesterday CZICK-POHLENZ NUPTIALS.

O'Connell and Dr. J. J. O'Connell brought home four grey squirrels, a couple of par- tridges and a 25 pound red fox from where they went hunting. Carl Conrad and Louis Wahrenberger also went hunting yes- | terday and bagged a 39 pound fox ane two rabbits. BOY SHOT IN LEG. While hunting near Maple Hill, yes- terday, Willlam Dobrock, of Howard street, accidentally shot Ira Prang, has been the American pacifist. The man who defles weakness, the man who tries to deprive his countrymen, not only of the material but of the moral and spiritual attributes neces- sary for self-defense, is the ablest and most contemptible ally of the alien wrongdoer. We have heard, at times,. a good deal since we went into the war, of the conscientious objector. I have teen asked if I did not respect any man’s conscience. I have said: “Yes, but if his conscience makes him act like either a knave or a fool, I would advise him to take it out and look at it, so as to be sure that it was healthy.” Now, there are various types of! people who call themselves conscien- | tious objectors. /Most of them are ! not conscientious at all. Most of them | are plain timid, or else they desire ease, personal safety, or they wish to | escape any irksome duty. Those I would weed out, and I would make them go to war; only I would not let ! them wear soldiers’ uniforms. I would make them accompany the! fighting men and do all the dirty work | that did not have to be done by the | fighting men. TUFTS COLLEGE ALUMNI.

Washington, Nov. 3.—Regulations to pave the way for removal of al- cohol from beer for industrial pur- poseg and conversion of the residue into soft drink were issued today by Daniel C. Roper, commissioner of internal revenue. Beer may be piped from a brewery to a distillery with- out payment of the usual] revenue tax, but a solid wall without openings > must be constructed between the two establishments if they are under the same roof. After the aicohol has been removed by distillation and de- ratured according to law, the residue may be piped back into the brewery without tax payments, to be made into a soft drink.
