Great was his surprise and conster- nation when W. A. Somers _visited Eastern Point a few days ago and found that some agency that at pres ent remains unknown and has not been discovered had caused to be sawn off the front of the doubledecker bath- houses that are the property of the Eastern Point Cottage association, of Which hetis a_member, together with several othier Norwich men. The re- moval of this rather esentlal part of the bath-houses had apparently been effected dnder cover of darkness. Mr. Somers got down. there Sunday morn- ing a week ago and he encountered a police officers who told him that he! had just seen eight men cease opera- tions on the bath-houses and get into a row boat and take themselves away, whither he did not know. A®yhow the beach was strewn with the timber that had formed the front of 24 bath- houses. The houses front on_a desirable portion of the beach at Eastern Point and are directly in front of the Shine- cossett houses and in this fact lies some of the explanation of what lLas happened, so at least it is inferred. Some of the Norwich men have been willing to sell the association’s houses, which have not been An use for several years, but now one member of the as- “|sociation, at least, says, he will hcld on to the property until he dies.. Be- fore selling, he would take his share of the houses and paint a whiskey advertisement on WILL CONDEMN PROPERTY Get New Haven Road Cannot Otherwise.

A short distance outside of Paris we were .stopped and stayed over night in Fontainbleu. France was filled with uniformed soldiers. Early the follow- ing!morning we started towards ‘the frontier but were stopped at a barri- cade ten miles from the front. We showed our papers but they were re- Jected. Later we crossed the line and were within a few miles of Metz in Germany and were held up by the German cavalry and cordered to return to France. “Thinking that it might be possible to go to Switzerland and__thence t o Germany we started for Nancy, That night with a pass from the Prefect of Police we were allowed to enter Paris. “Paris you understand is a_fortress and all is under martial law.
