Telephone DAVID GOLDSTEIN AT WESTERLY 18, 1916 Lecturer for Knights of Columbus Speaks on Peace and War | —Board of Trade Committee Distributes Merchants’ Agreement Against Advertising in Programs, Etc.—Geo. G. Newall Dead. Under the auspices of the board of directors of National Council, Knights of Columbus, David _Goldstein, of Boston, discussed the topic Peace and War, before a large audience in the town hall, Thursday evening. Promin- ent members of the Knights of Colum- bus were seated on the platform and the speaker was introduced by Dr. John M. O’Connell, grand knight of Narragansett council. The speaker ex- pressed pleasure at_the oportunity of discussing with a Westerly audience some of the questionps that are engag- Inz attention throughout the world. He said he believed the good people of Westerly in common with all Christen- dom, are saddened by the awful condi- tions resulting from the gigantic con- flict now raging in Europe, conditions unparalleled even in the Dark Ages. That we have made progress in ma- terial things, said the speaker, is gen- erally admitted; yet all about us, here as well as abroad, war exists. WAr between natlon and nation results from the same causes that produce conflict in families. While all desire peace and are asking for it, either consclously or - sub-consciously, the violation of God’s commands brings war. Peace was promised to men of good will only; the real cause of war is bad will. Causes of War and the Ways of Es- tablishing Peace, were dealt with in Mr. Goldstein’s lecture, not only as to commercial and governmental relation- ships, but also in the individual and domestic relationships. The Catholic attitude on these four phases of life the lecturer contrasted with the doc- trines advocated by socialists and rad- icals In sgeneral. and the prenounce- ments of the Catholic church in the premises were explained. Under the direction of a committee of the Westerly Board of Trade, what is know as the “Merchants’ Agree- ment” has just been printed and dis- tributed. It is to be used as a cudgel against the advertising and gift solici- tors, and is not only signed by retail merchants, but by barbers. tinsmiths, blacksmiths, and nearly all lines of business conducted in Westerly. The agreements, which received 84 signa- tures, is strong in denunciation of certain kinds of advertising and even refers to the prescribed advertising as fakes. Here is a copy of the Mer- chants’ Agreement: “We, the undersigned, retail mer- chants of Westerly, do hereby agree not to donate any article of merchan- dise, or cause any advertising to be paid for by us, either directly or in- directly, for three vears, terminating May 19, 1918, in any of the following fake schemes: Hotel Register, Opera house, secret societies, and all other programmes and holiday advertising sheets, business directories, all. blot- ting boar@ schemes, clock. time tables and postal cards.-and all forms of com- bination advertising, except our local directories and the Westerly Board of Trade advertising. This, however, does not prevent any merchant from using bills or any scheme for his ex- clusive use.” George G. Newall, who was asso- ciated “with brother, David McG. Newall, in the Westerly branch of the Dalbeattle Granite Works, died Wed- nesday afternoon at the home of his brother in High street. He was the son & Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Newall, of the Dolbeattie Granite Works, Scot- land, and born in Dalbeattie thirty- two vears ago. He came to Westerly ten years ago and s a member of Franklin lodge, No. 20, Free and Ac- cepted Masons. He sustained a se- vere cerebdal embolism a Year and a half ago, and after partial recovery visited his mother in Scotland and then returned to Westerly. Acute Bright's disease developed which, coupled with heart trouble, resulted in death. There are 14,415 automobiles, 1534 trucks, 1270 motorcycles and 448 ve- hicles operated by dealers, in Rhode Island, according to figures compiled by the State Board of Public Roads. From these vehicles there was receiv- ed the sum of $176,447, as registration fees. The average fee for each vehi- cle, including 10-to- trucks and light motoreycles, was approximately $10. The city of Providence has 5345 auto- mobiles, 714 trucks, 367 motorcycles and 398 cars operated by dealers, and these vehicles pay into the state the total sum of $68,065 as registration fees. These figures show that one- third of the automobiles and one-half of the trucks are owned in Providence. Westerly has 510 automobiles, 36 trucks, 26 motorcycles and six vehi- cles operated by dealers, the fees be- ing $7092.

London, Feb. 17.—Addressing the house of lords on the Zeppelin question today, Lord Kitchener said that up to the present time a hostile air invasion of England has had no inflience what- ever on the military conduct of the war, “regrettable as is the loss of citi- zen life and damage to private prop- erty,” he said. “I do not believe the people desire to give too great im- portance to these attacks or to allow them to affect military operations. “It must be realized that in war it is not always possible to insure safety everywhere, and some risks must be accepted in order to be strong at im- portant points, “It is beyond our power to guarantee these shores from a repetition of these air incursions but we shall make them more cgstly each time.” Outlining the system of air defense in Great Britain, Lord Kitchener said: “The defense is three fold: First, good advance information regarding the movements of hostile aircrafi; sec- ond, defense by anti-aircraft‘artillery; third, attacks on raiders by aeroplanes. “As regards the first, we now have a system which gives us sufficient warnipg. As to artillery, the con- struction of aircraft guns now has precedence over other ordnance. “Attack by aeroplanes at night is attended with great difficulties, but I believe that with more extended prac- tice we shall overcome the difficulties. “The government will leave no stone unturned in efforts to improve to the utmost our defenses against Zeppe- lins,” declared Lord Kitchener. “The responsibility for defense will be in the hands of Viscount French, with Sir Percy Scott as his chief advisor.” In reply to a question regarding the use of aeroplanes at night, Lord Kitchener said no order had ever yet been sent to a pilot of the royal flying corps to make an ascent at night to attack a Zeppelin. He added: “Notice is given to each . station when the time comes to ascend to in- tercept a Zeppelin. The decision as to whether to fly or not is left to the senior officer on the spot.” c. V'S RETENTION OF WATER LINES Advocated by Manager of Paper Plant at St. Albans, RVt New York, Feb. 17.—Desire for re- tention by the Central Vermont rail- road of its water lines between New London and New York was expressed by H. E. Raymond, manager of a paper plant near St. Albans, Vt., to Interstate Commerce Commissioner Clements this afternoon at the continued hearing on this matter. Mr. Raymond said the water lines ensured a direct service between northern Vermont and New York. A. H. Beole agent for the interstate commerce commission, presented a re- port covering his investigation of the Central Vermonts application and de- clared that the road had acquiesced in divisional _traffic arrangements with the New York, New Haven and Hart- ford railroad, “promoting the latter’s interest at the expense of the Central Vermont. “It is obvious from the facts here shown,” said Mr. Boole, “that shippers are not enjoying the benefits of com- petition, from the operation of this water line, but that they would if the line was freed from the dominating power of the New York, New Haven and Hartford.” The Central Vermont's application includes a request to run two vessels between New York and Providence. These boats have been built. The hearing was adjourned today, to be resumed at the call of Commissioner Clements in Providence. A petition of the Long Island Rall- road company to continue the opera- tion and ownership of the Montauk Steamship company between ~Long Island and New England points also, was considered’ by Commissioner Cle- ments. Officlals of the railroad denied that the steamship line was controlled In any way by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad and as- serted it had shown a deficit for years past.

Chicago, Feb. 17.—There was no abatement today in the search for Jean Crones, supposed poisoner of the ban- queters wno partook of soup served at the recent dinner at the University club in honor of Archbishop Munde- lein. The letter signed with the missing man's name which was received yes- terday by a New York paper found confirmation in two particulars. The rolice here admitted that asbestos and not guncotton was found in two cans in Crones’ room, just as the letter stated, and city chemists reported that their tests had revealed a second min- eral poison in the soup samples as the letter indicated. Officials who have scrutinized the mass of letters seized by the police in the poison plot took the view that indications of a widespread anti-gov- ernment conspiracy had been brought to life and advocated immediate steps to defeat it. GOOD RE—SULTS SHOWN BY YALE GYMNASIUM RECORDS 1919 Class Members Taller and Better Chested Than Their Fathers. New Haven, Conn., Feb. 17.—By tak- ing gymnasium records of 1894 and comparing with those just made of the 1919 class, Professor W. G. An- derson, director of the Yale Univer- sity gymnasium, in the Alumni Weekly tomorrow will point out that the 1919 sons are younger, weigh 1.2 pounds less, are taller and better chested than the fathers of 1894. “It is quite likely the father was about as tall,” says Dr. Anderson, “but out belief is that he did not stand so well, was more stoop- shouldered, thus losing height. If it were possible to compare working ef- ficiency it would be more interesting.” PLAN FOR REGULAR ARMY OF 250,000 ENLISTED MEN in the Senate Yesterday by Hoke Smith. ‘Washington, Feb. 17.—A plan for a regular army of ,000 enlisted men to be trained during active service equally for war or peace was intro- duced today by Senator Hoke Smith.
