Chapman of Groton vs. Christopher B, Chapman of Groton, Judge Shumway does not find that 'the defendant was ever a resident of Kentucky or that the plain- tiff ever had a residence there or was ever there for any purpose. The defendant knew the residence of his wife at the time he applied for a divorce in Kentucky and purposely concealed from his wife knowledge of thy action. The Kentucky divorce is a nullity because the residence of the defend- ant in that state was colorable omly.

Also Decide on Another Street—27 Factories are ‘That* Belgian Rifles Can The board of directors of the Hop- kins & Allen Arms company held a meeting at the plant at 1 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, President J. A. MacGregor presiding, and a number of important things came up for discu Mr. Clark of Boston was elected a gnember of the board of directors. he directorate voted to erect a new building on Chestnut street in the space between the main building and the factory that was taken over from the Norwich Nickel and Brass com- pany last summer. It is at this site that the city formerly had the sewer which has been relocated in Chestnut street. The new building will be 150 feet in length and 80 feet wide, one story in height, with reinforced con- crete floors and columns and brick walls. Naturally, it will be strictly fireproof, and it will be used as a firing range, where the accuracy and efficiency of the guns may be tested. The range itself will be 100 feet in length. The contract will be let next week, if possible. The special machinery is about all in, and President MacGregor said Tuesday night that tffere are about 60 draughtsmen at work in the designing room on drawings of the small tools that will be required in the contract work for the Belglan government that will be started as soon as the equip- MORE FOR Board of Directors of the Hopkins and Allen Arms Company This Equipment All Expected by End of February, So HOUSING New Bujlding on Chestnut Helping to Get Out Tools and be Started Then. ment for the manufacture of the rifles is complete and ready for use. There are no less than 27 different tool factories outside of Norwich that are making the jigs, fixtures, gugges, templets and other equipment that will be necessary. Some of this will get FLere in January, and all of it in Feb- ruary, Mr. MacGregor said, and so the icdications are that the actual opera- tions of manufacture will begin in not much more than a couple of months. It was voted also at Tuesday's meeting to subscribe another $20,000 to the funds of the Norwich Housing ccmpany, the condition being that an equal sum be provided to match the company's subscription, which, if car- ried through, will make $40,000 received from this source. The Hopkins & Allen officials are gratified to- find an in- creasing sentiment in favor of the plan of building that is being carried out. Contracts - for 20 houses have been let to C. M. Williams, and an- other $40,000 will provide accommoda. tions for a considerably larger number of gunmakers and their families. The total number of workmen that can ba used when the plant gets running on its blg order will be close to 3,000, the officials of the company say. In regard to another large contract that is in view, nothing definite has yet been done, progress in such nego- tiations being necessarily slow. H. AND A. DRAUGHTSMEN GUESTS AT Y. M. C.

The Christmas mail, comiag and go- ing, kept the Norwich force, iA the main office, sub-stations and-on the street, among the busiest people in town Thursday. As is to be expected early in the week, with Christmas four days off, the outward bound malil was considerably heavier, with a_total of 300 sacks, it was fisured at the office Tuesday night. But the fact that many people in other cities are con- siderate enough of the human limita- tions of the mail men to send over their Christmas packages early and avoid the rush, was made evident by the receipt of 240 bags. of matter. The flood of letters, cards and parcels kept an ausmented force at full tension up to closing time. The Thayer building sub-station handled ‘an increasia; amount of parcels post Tuesqay with Clerk John A. Cunningham helped out there by Assistant Clerks Tourtellotte, Fltzpatrick and Donovan. The last mail wagon that went down to the boat train Tucsday night at 10 o'clock had bulging sacks of mall tied to its top, after the interior had been pack- ed ‘to its limit.

Regarding the shipment of parcels, Postmaster Murphy advises secure wrapping, and as a further precau- tion insurance of more valuable pieces of matter. JUNIOR CLASS FESTIVAL.

REACHES NEW LONDON AFTER GRUELLING TRIP. Steamer Calgary Ran Into December Gales in Bay of Fundy—First Mate’s Tragic End. After experiencing one of the most upfortunate and roughest trips in thir history the crew of the steamer Cal- gary, carge into New London Tuesday morning, Breathed a sigh of relief. The Calzasy loaded at Bathurst with 1.500,- 000 feet of spruce lumber on December Tth, and started for 'w York. On the WAy the steame#, which burns crude oil and was built oaly for the lakes, eacountered a storm that threatened to capsize her. She managed, however, to escape, but in the attempt lost the bigeest part of her deck load. oOf Nantucket the first mate, Arthur Alec Johnsor. was struck by an anchor chain and killed. ‘The course of the Calgary ‘was through the Gulf of Consor and across the PBay of Fundy. There a terrific zale was encountered on the night of the 13th. It was a heavy southwester, the éne that Qid so much damage over a wide stzch of country and which has left itg effects to this day. ‘The wind was of such terific'force that the Calgary could not make headway, be- Ing a shallow boat, and to add to the terror of the sitcation engine troubles developed and the ship became un- manageable. In the predicament there was no al- ternative but to come to anchor and ride out the storm. so the _Calga: 4rl7£ned anchor southwest of Nantuck: st Shoals. In the operation of anchor- ing Mate Johnson was thrown across .the windlgss and crushed to death. His body was extricated as soon as could be. when it was found that he was dead. his back and ribs having been crushed. The body was kept on deck where the temperature was cool that it might be preserved till port was reached. Incidents In Society William F.

ATMOSPHERE OF CONFIDENCE PREVALENT IN LONDON Silent Demonstration of Quiet Strength and Estableshed Power. Amsterdam, Dec, 21—The “strong sense of power -and of self-confidence that seems to be the very atmosphere of England,” is commented upon by Dr. Hans Vorst, a professedly neutral correspondent, in recounting his im- pressions on a recent visit to England to the Berliner Tageblatt. He besins his article by telling of meeting a Rus- sian government officlal in London, who, after a rather despondent review of the operations on the Russian front saind: “At any rate, one feels gquite at ease and heartened again after a few days in London. This statement interested Dr. Vorst. He decided to make a closer investiga- tion of the Russian's remark, and found that he himself soon succumbed to the sense of London's might. In his_own. words ,he came under the spell of London's “silent demonstra- tion of solid wealth, qulet strengch and established power.” Speaking of life in London. Dr. Vorst tells the people of Berlin that he found London has changed-little dur ing the war beyond the darkening of its streets. Nowhere in the warring capitals has street traffic suffered so little. In Berlin and Paris, motorbuses have .disappeared. t io Loadon, even those that were st e to TFrance in the nning of war have been replaced. Pass’ hotels have reduced their prices to a war scale. But no such concession has been made m London. Furthermore, the stages STOMACH NISERY |since the European war began. QLKLY VANSIES Yopr money back if you want it B pulas drasgists. are selling.
