Rebuilding and the expenditure of ihuge sums of money, however, have !not yet removed from France the counted; dark days of 1917 and "lli with their silver linings were Te- | called; old friendships were renewed ' and war-time ties were cemented | Saturday night on the eve of the ]O'h anniversary of the signing of the | Armistice ending the World War, | when more than 70 veterans of Com- pany E, 102nd U. S. Infantry, gath- ored at Odd Fellows’ hall in this city in an annual reunion. Members re- ported at the affair from Boston and Gardner, Mass, New Haven, Bridgeport, Seymour and o"ler places about the state. It was Napoleon who was credited with originating the saying that an army marches on its stomach and the same holds true in peace time as well as in war. For that reason, the first number on the program Satur- day night was a sumptuous feast spread under the capable direction of Fred Eppler and his staff. Every- thing in the edible line was served and it reminded all the vets of I'rance and the mess lines, it was &0 different. Following the feast, addresses were made by former Mayors George A. Quigley and Gardner C. Weld. Then followed a heart to heart talk by the former company commander, Captain Edward W. Edmunds of | Boston. Colonel Harry B. Bissell of South Manchester, battalion com- mander during the war, also spoke as did Colonel Charles E. Lockhart of New Haven, formerly first lieu- tenant in the company. “How I used to get 'em up in the morning” was the subject adopted by former First Sergeant Jacob Holm of New Haven while Sergeant Francis Ahearn of Seymour recounted how willingly members of Co. E used to respond to “details.” After the officers and non-coms had thelr say, the “bucks” in the rear rank delivered speeches which they prepared 10 vears ago and never dared utter until the war had | been over 10 years. George Latke of New Haven was named as permapent chairman of the association. Albert Epoonheimer of Seymour was named as permanent secretary of Company E association and it was voted to hold the next reunion in Bridgeport. George Latke of that city was named chairman in charge of arrangements. HOOVER T0 LEAVE ON NOVEMBER 20 (Continued from First Page) lics he visits. For the other members of the party, the personnel of which has not yet been finally determined up- on, there will be a dozen other state- rooms now occupied by junior offi- cers who will be detached from the battleship until after she returns to her base on the California coast, Son Going Too The president-elect will be accom- panied by his younger son, Allan, and his secretary, George Akerson, as well as representatives of the state department and a sizeable ‘corps of newspaper correspondents and a few cameramen. Although Mrs. Hoover has accom- panied her husband on all of his campaign trips, it is not likely that she will make the S8outh American journey with him. S8he probably will remain at her home here and rejoin the president-elect on his arrival in Florida early in January.

WREATH LAID AT BASE OF WORLD WAR SHAFT (Continued from First Page) of the Trinity Methodist church, pre. sented as the speaker of the day, de- | clared against speech making in a ! strict sense at memorial exercises He compared the visit of the Le- glonnaires to the park with that of a bereaved person going to the cemetery to visit at the grave of & departed kifisman. Because humans ,are physical beings, they cannot: {realize that the dead soldiers sur- rounded them during their exer- cises, he asserted, but he assured that such was the case. Attempting to arrive at the message the fallen heroes would have him give the public, he ventured & guess that it would be one of peace. World peace can be brought about by the American Legion, the minister de- clared pointing to the fact that it is cosmopolitan in every sense of the word, and that by setting an ex- ample of men of all creeds and na- tionalities living together in peace, the rest of the world will realize that it is possible for different groups to get together and bury ani- mosity and bigotry. Discussing the aims of the Legion, Mr. Alderson said it is the one or- ganization in the world which asks no question as to a man's religion or his nationality, but that it brings together men from all parts of the globe and of all religious sects and unites them as a whole. Rev. Matthew J. Traynor, pastor of 8t. Mary's church, conducted the benediction in which he called down the blessings of God on those whe have died and on those who are carrying on. ‘The program closed with the sounding of taps through the park, and the procession then moved back to the Legion home. Factory whistles blew at 11 o'clock this morning in recognition of Armistice day and work was sus- pended for two minutes. All street traffic stopped for the same period of time.

On account of the tender ages of the children, she cannot leave them to go to work, and her mother's condition makes it impossible for her to be trusted with the care of the little ones. Her mother has been blind for five years and crippled by rheumatism for 15 years. Makula had nothing to say and Judge Saxe, after conferring with Probation Officer Connolly, imposed a Jail sentence of 30 days, saying he felt it would do Makula good to serve the sentence. After court Ma- Kula consulted Attorney H. M. Gins- burg relative to taking an appeal to superior caurt. Officers Doty and Ha went to the Murzyn home about 5:45 vester- day afternoon and learned that Mrs. Murzyn had been attacked by her husband, who wielded an axe, strik- ing her on the shoulder. He threat- .ned his step-daughter with death and when the officers tried to calm him he suddenly turned on them and for 15 minutes or more gave them a fierco fight. They succeeded in snapping one handcuff on his wrist but he scized the other in his mouth and held onto it. Officer Doty tried {10 fasten the “twisters” on the fres wrist and Murzyn, who is a power- ful. rugged fellow aged 38 years. | clamped his teeth down on them and i bit Officer Doty's small finger on | the right hand. A large crowd gath- cred outside the house and saw the | fight. the officers finally overpower- ing Murzyn and carrying him inte the police patrol Murzyn acensed his wife of start- ing the trouble. He spent 30 cents | tor “moonshine" and when be re- {turned home she berated him. He did not know what he was doing. he said, and he had not meant to | threaten or strike anyone. Although it did not come out in the testimony, that the visitor wanted to know whether he would “hold out.” out- side the court, Caldwell told news papermen that the expression used by the man was whether he would “stick together with the rest.” Toczko Home Entered, Revolver Is Stolen The home of Assistant Electrical Superintendent Leon Toczko at 85 Sewart street was enter night by a key worker and a re- volver and other articles taken. Up | to this afternoon the police had no clue to the burglar, who, it is be- lieved, Is the fellow who has ran- sacked numerous other houses about the city. The Herald's circulation make the Classified Ads little wonders. >d Saturday | it was reported that Murzyn had -dnrp«nm‘i the axe only a few days ax;n and when he swung it yester- day, it grazed hi seven year old daughter, inflicting a scratch on her | neck.

In Rheims, al- {though most of the ravages have disappeared, heaps of ruins still tes- tify to the might of the German guns. Rheims cathedral has been rebuilt but Cardinal Lucon haw never been able to return to the archepiscopal residence, destroyea by the invaders. Some Benefit In some respects the devastation enforced a benefit. Many of the re- built factories and workshops have rerlaced hand-power with electricity and modern machinery is in use where once production methods were primitive. Thousands of the tebullt habitations are as modern as architecture can make them and far jmore sanitary than the homes they replaced. At first there was some opposition to the improvements; the peasant changes his ideas slowly and even factory and workship ownera opposed to heavy a “machinization.” As a whole, however, conditions have been greatly improved. Thousands of the rebuilt houses are known as “temporary” habita- tions but, built largely of brick and cement, they give an impression of permanency. Some of those built by the Dutch are of wood, like homes in America, and many are painted the familiar blues a browns of Holland. Other more ephemeral structures are of plaster and corrugated {ron, or are recon- structed from the wooden huts used by the soldiers of all armies. 8,500 Factories Rebullt At the armistice it was found that 340,799 homes had been de- stroyed. Another 526,000 were so damaged that they had to be re- built. More than 600 whole com- munes had been razed and 3,600 had to be rebuiit. Ten thousand in- dustrial establishments were batter- ed down. Ten years after the armistice, ap- proximately 700,000 ‘*‘reconstruc- tion” houses had been erected, and 8,500 factories and workshops. Much remains to be done before the gov. ernment's problem {s realized, but the end is in sight. RADIO FANS UPSET BY NEW SCHEDULE (Continued from First Page) less, but the majority were at a loss in their attempt to fish out some- thing more besides howls and noises. Although station WTIC, Hartford could be dialed, the volume was weak and at times the music would die out entircly. The station's office was floodad with calls from frantic radio fans with a thousand and one questions pertaining to the causes of all the noises and their inability to get outside stutiona such WEAF, WOR, WJZ, WGY.

This sate of affairs is e3- pected to last for weeks and per- haps months before anything definite about the benefits of the reallecation order is finally determined.

The main lava stream this after- noon was advancing on the Carrab- be front over & width of 2,500 feet with the likelihood that this would be increased at this point by maases of molten rock pouring in over the plain from the destroyed town of Mascali which no longer offers ob- stacle to the destructive onrush. Latest reports from the danger front said the stream was only about 100 feet from the Measina- Catania bighroad, its southern flank advancing about 6 1.2 feet an hour and continuing to bite into the outskirts of Carrabba to the south- east. Most of the destruction thus far has been in the areas north of Gi- arre which is on the southeastern fringe of the devastated zone. Mas- call has been destroyed, Nunziata partly damaged and now the town of Carrabba is beginning to suffer. ‘These three places together with Riposto and Glarre frigge the base of Mt. Etna and lie on the Cir- cumetna rallway which has been cut near Mascall by the lava flow. The town of Nunzlata had an anglous week-end. Early SBunday morning there were loud earth rumblings which were followed im- mediately by a series of explosions which hurled up great quantities of stones and bright flames. For a time it was feared that a new eruptive mouth had been formed but later it appeared that the phenomenon organisation occupied by Professor Calabro of the Vulcanological institute was abandoned in view of this outburst, since it seemed likely that the place wolld be enveloped by two smaller branches of lava. ‘The branches of molten rock have been moving forward like an army on & mobile front, now one column thrusting itself forward and then relaxing while another was rein- forced. The defense efforts of the authori- ties against the onflow have virtual- | Iy been completed. The countryside has been divided into three zones, the first around the central square of Nunziata, the second comprising the smaller village of Junziatella and the third, the least dangerous 3one, further to the south. The interruption of the railway line, despite the measures taken to move passengers and freight by a detour, is proving serious to the agricultural interests of the island, idoubly so since the lava threatened the carriage road paralleling the railway line. It was feared that within a comparatively few hours this highway would have to be closed. Recourse then must. be had to another road of improvised char- |acter, but communications will he‘ greatly retarded. Most freight is now | |belng - carried on the Messina- Palermo line. Last night engineers began work | on a new road along the seaside between Riposto and Ficarella in order to form a bridge to the pro- vincial highway. A road once exist- ed there, but has been buried un- der a coating of sand and it must i be rebuilt in order to allow heavy vehicles to pass over it. One result of the present catastrophe will be the reconsideration on a sclentific |basis of the whole road question in !this region. Herald Classified Ads, add to your comfort.

They intend to at- tack the will on®the grounds that the mark which Rothstein scrawled on the recently written document as he lay dying in Polyclinic hospital does not couostitute a legal signa- ture. Resting in Jersey Atlantic City, Nov. 12 (UP)—Inez Norton, moving picture actress and former show girl, said today that she expected the will of Arnold Rothstein, gambler, to be carried out so that she would receive the ncome from one-sixth of the estate. “Mr. Rothstein and I were very much in love,” Miss Norton said. “It probably was for that reason that he made me a beneficiary in his will. He and I were to have been mar- ried. His divorce proceedings, in fact, already had been started, but I am not sure whether in New York |or Reno. “The tales going around about Mr. Rothstein are simply hideous. He was a square shooter and a won- derful man. The situation is too sad for me ever to think of returning to motion pictures.
