Moustaches in War. The correspondent who writes to a contemporary _ suggesting _that the British War Office authorities should insist on soldiers being clean-shaven instead of ordering them to wear moustaches, might have alleged Téu- tonic Influence in the adoption of the moustache of the British army. The idea was first borrowed from a batch of Austrian officers quartered with some of our troops or the South Coast during the Waterloo campaign. It was taken up by the Guards, who very much resented any attempt on the art of mere line regiments to fol fow :fo new fagton.

Well might the Germans ellude to the Gurkhas at “those little brown imps.” Here is one of the many gal- lant exploits they have performed, says a correspondent of “Tit-Bits. The attention of the Germans in a certain trench was distracted by a British biplane which circled over them, and they filled the eir with lead in the hopes of bringing the machine down. Then, while the majority of them were still gazing skyward, out crept the little brown men. The dis- tance between the two lines was short, and before the skygazers had realized it a dusky wave of eel-like bodies was on them—on them, through them and driving them out neatly and exped- itiously. In a few moments the trenches were empty end the Gurkhas were happy again. It had been a good fight. As they say, all war is §00d, but this war is the best of all.

The Windham County Savings dank, organized in 1864 is no more By & process of law the bank automatically was merged Thureday with the Brook- lyn Sevings bank, ch institution, now edly in importance end prestige, will continue under its FEZiN, misacion & Act merger, - ing May by a committes representing the Windham County Savings bank. as authorized at the annual meeting of the, corporators of thet institution, be- came effective Tuesday upon the rat- ification of the merger plan by the state bank commissioner, but it w not really considered in fores until the anoual meeting of the corporators of the Brookiyn Savings bank Thursday afternoon. All of the books and securities of the Windham County Savings banks have been_transferred to the possession of the Brooklyn Savinge bank and the quarters of the merged bamk _are closed. Under the arrangement for the consolidation of the_ institutions, the organization of the Windhem County Savings bank has automatically ceased to exist. The recently elected treas- urer, Sidney Bard, returns to the Brooklyn Savings bank, where he had been employed for a mumber of years until his election in May as treasurer of the Windhem County Savings bank. At the annual meeting of the Brook- Iyn Savings bank trustees Thursday, the following new corporators _wers added to the organization by election: Ernest R. Warren, Frederick A. Jacobs, W. J. Craig, W. P. Kelley, Charles Austin, Clark Congdon, John ¥. Car- penter, N. Lorne Grelg. The ty of these men were members of the Windham County Savings bank orgen- ization. All officers of the past year were re- elected: J. Arthur Atwood, president; William N. Burnham, Hampton, vice Ciarence A. Potter, secre- tary One great feature of tae consolida- tion of special interest to depositors of the Windham County Savings bank is that their funds are relieved from all restrictions imposed by Judge Marcus H. Holcomb, now governor, when In the superior court at Putnam in Sep- tember, 1913, he set forth the condl- tions under which the Windham County Savings bank might be re- opened for business after being closed for a period of 14 months. These con- ditions included an arrangement under which 10 per cent. of any person’s de- posits became available for withdrawal every three months. While no great advantage was ever taken by the de- positors as a whole to withdraw to the full limit of their privilege under this arrangement, there were Some cases where it worked inconvenience to per- sons who were in need of more of their money than they could withdraw. All of the depositors of the merged bank are now on an equal footing with the depositors of the Brooklyn bank, which, since its organization in 1873, has grown steadily in etrength and rei- ative worth. Its absorption of the Windham County Savings bank makes it one of the most important savings institutions in this part of the state. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney. Judge W. F.

There was general thanksgiving among the farmers for the rainfall of Wednesday night and Thursday, the heaviest for a number of months. The oyster shell surface rolled onto Center street during the spring is showing excellent wearing qualities and keeps that street in much better condition than was formerly the case. The trout fishing season that closed ‘Wednesday night has not beea one of record catches.

EVELYN NESBIT THAW TO APPEAR AS STATE WITNESS Has Reluctantly Decided to Submit to the Ordeal, DISASTROUS TORNADO IN SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO Than a Score Injured. Lamar, Colo., July 1L—Two persons were killed and more than a score in- jured by a tornado that swept a large section of ranch land in the Cat Creek and Mud Creek disiricts of south- eastern Colorado, Tuesday night, ac- cording to word brought here today. The dead were children of Lon Baker of the Cat Creek district. The physicians said 22 the Mud Creek injured. New York, July 1—Although word was received here today from Malone, N. Y., that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw had announced that she would decline to obey the subpoena summoning her to New York to testify as a sate witness at the trial to test the sanity of her husband, Harry K. Thaw, information considered authoritative reached the deputy attorney general's office to- night that she had reluctantly decid- ed to submit to the ordeal. Accordingly plans which had been Celebrating Too Early. Notwithstanding Mayor Macdonald's plea for a eafe, sane and orderly ob- servance of the Fourth, there was ev- idence as early as Thursday afternoon that a few persons ase not inclined to be bound by regulations that are for the greate$t good of the greatest number. These offenders against good discipline had separated themselves from some of their money for noisy holiday materfal and they just could not resist the temptation to start something. They were not bashful about it eith- er, nor did they go into seclusion to make their disturbance. Some of them just sneaked around into side streets adjacent to the business sec- tion and let the cannon crackers ri This class will not have a real enjoy able time if they happen to fal! into the hands of the police, who are on the lookout for them, and their holi- day may be one of mourning.

It was put com- pletely out of business and no more WOITY on a subject that has caused uneasiness for weeks may be expect- ed_for some time. Milkmen and other early risers forced out in the storm quickly gain- ed the idea thdt something was out of order with the rain-making appa- ratus—a break in the main feed lines or such—for they were drenched to the skin in a Jiffy. The rainfall in this section was well in excess of two inches. The agri- cultural sections nearby were great- ly benefited. Some of the hizhways leading into the city from the sui rounding country towns were_consid- erably washed by the vast amount of water that ran off before it could be absorbed, but the damage- has notsbeen reported s serious in any case.
