Paris, Dec. 10.—The city council of Brest, where President Wilson will land, 1s preparing an elaborate recep~ tion for the American executive, says a telegram from thé mayor of Brest, a socialist to the Paris socielist news- paper Humanite. “The president probably will land in that part of the commercial har- bor where the American troops dis- embarked,” the telegram continues. “In that case, on the road from the port to the ilroad depot, there will be a triumpbal arch of gorse and broom (national plants of Brittany) with trophles of Breton costumes. e mayor will present address on behalf of the city council. On the route of the procession there will be erected in ouette a la reproduction of the statue of Liberty in New Y. , visible frem all parts of the roadstead. “Across the streets will be hung long bands of calico with such in- scriptions as ‘Homege to the Cham- pion of Liverty’, ‘Long Live the Apostle «f Internaticnal Justice.' will be pubiic celebrations, illuminations and meetings at which President Wilson's role will be set forth and his name acclaimed.” FREEZE HIM Veteran Would Thus of Bill Hohenzollern.

Glory Allelujah! Without a comipass, sail or oar, A million miles away from shore, ‘Where mighty waves like moun- tain roar, Glory Alleluiah! For sinking the Lusitania, may he dwell In darkest pits of deepest hell, And gnash his teeth and groan and yell. Glory Allelulah! May sharks devour him stem and stern, A whale engulf him down in turn, And Satan get the whole concern, Glory Allelulah! In burning brimstone may he be, While little devils dance In gles, Then lock the door and lose the key.

The public also wants the greatest possible service at the lowest possible cost, The continued growth and prosperity of this community are de- pendent on the ability of The Connecticut Company to maintain its property and increase its facilities proportionately to the increase in population. It cannot maintain its property and increase its facilities unless its lines produce sufficient revenue to pay the bills, In 1916 the increase in cost to The Connecticut Company of serv- ing the public was $72,000 greater than the increase in revenue, In 1917 the increase 000. in cost exceeded the increase in revenue by $810,- The ten months ending October 31, 1918, during which the six cent far has been in effect, show a net loss from operating of $506,000. Please think it over, you business men whose prosperity keeps pace with the development of your community, and you workers and shoppers who depend on the trolley cars for transportation.
