When questioned regarding the | break one of the occupants replied that she had “nothing to say.”” How | the burglar gained entrance and made | his getaway is not known but it is a fact that he did get into the residence and got safely away with his loot. The other break was made at Pine- mitted between onel and Mrs, Gale had dinner shortly after 6 o'clock and passed the evening in the parlor on the first floor playing r plano and shortly after & ng some letters and attending to things, Mrs, Gale went to her room, which is on the second floor at the northeast corner of the resid She called to Colonel Gale that s: one had been tk v in gation ery drawer in the bureau and chiffonier had been ransacked and the contents promiscu- ously tossed a The scene was one of compiete Noting the sit- vation the t 1 went to his room and found the conditlon was sim- ilar to that in Mrs, Gale’s bedroom. The search was continued and the in- di ons plainly evidenced the fact that the burglar thoroughly searched the dressing room of Colonel Gal dressing room of Mrs. Gale the of well as their bedrooms. Colonel and as iale's bedroom is located on the southeast corner of the second floor and his ing room is located between his | ng room and that Mrs. Gale, whose dressing room is to the north- west of her sleeping room, The police were notified by phone’ and officers were immediately sent to the house. Tt was found that the burglar had climbed the veranda post at the northeast of the house to the second floor. Marks of his rubber soled shoes could be seen on the paint tele- The burglar then evidently walked around the corner and passed two windows on the e: side of tf to the southeast window of onel's room, where he pushed up the window screen ard entered. The win- dow was raised, Noiselessly the break- er worked through the rooms, taking the articles from the other rooms into Gale's bedroo where he looked them over h every chance of escape, An automobile bag wa: Gale's bed, This was taken Into the colonel's room and emptied. In a pocketbook were probably $10 in change, while in an envelone wers be- tween $30 and §40 in bills, The pocket- book containing the change was taken, but the bills were overlooked, Mrs. Gale's open face gold watch was -also taken. On the back of this was the monogram G, H. R. The works were of the Waltham movement. In a drawer in Mrs, Gale's bureau were several gold coins which she highly valued as keepsakes. Thiy were in a small pocket and were taken. Of the dozen or more jewel cases about the rooms but one aken, and its contents were missing with it, The jewel cases were filled with souvenirs collecied by Mrs, Gale while on her {rips around the world, While they’ were of considerable value, none was taken, it is believed, because of the fact that they could easily be traced. None with the exception of one wa$ removed but had been carefully oxam- ined. The burglar took with him seven cents that remained on ths bureau in Colonel Gale's room, the change re- turned after paying a laundry bill This, it is pointed out, indicated the work was not of an amateur but more of a professional, In the bath room Wwas a small square medicine case. This had been removed from its loca- tion and taken to the room of Colonel Gale angd there after being opened was tossed to one_ side. A mileage book on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad con- taining 800 miles was also secured by the burglar, Tuesday morning the po- lice were looking over the grounds and they discovered lying on the front lawn the pockethook taken from Jirs. Gale's automobile bag, empty. Something over a week ago Mrs. Gale discovered a man on the veranda raof at night, About ten days ago Mrs, Gale arose durliug the night to look out of her window and discovered a man on the yeranda roof. She noti- fied Colonel Gale and hc called the police, who responded and searched for the man, but found no clews.

Our Norwich Young Men Will Come Back With New Ideas. The several Norwich young men who are numbered among the 2300 youths of the nation who are to tale the civilians’ training crulse of four weeks with the nine vessels of the Atlantic fleet were due to report on board their assigned ships before noon on Tuesday. The Connecticut aggre gatlon embarked on _the battleships Mafne, Ientucky and New Jerser. The program will include a weck’s cruise on Long Island sound, after which the ships will join the others of the Aflantic fleet out in the open waters of the ocean. The manenvers of the sea being completed the vos- sels will proceed to Chesapeake bay, where they will have gun practice in | Tangier sound. The concluding week of the cruise, | which ends September 12 and will be spent on the waters of the sound, where practice in motor boat and| submarine maneuvers will be hel This is to be a great step for for the navy. More than 2,000 think- | ing people—for that is the kind of| people who are going on the cruiss, will go back to their home cities w some idea of what the navy United States means, and what prob- lems the navy is up against in the general plan for the better defense of the country. Few people realize what ford, Montville, Norwich and an unprecedented step it is for the navy to take. Heretofore the naval offictals have been very careful to hide the deails of water defence from the oyes of the rank and file from tear of sples, but this year it has been thought .best, In view of the fact that the spies know so much already, get thinking people of the nation ac- quainted with the needs of the navy, and also to help out in the general scheme of preparedness. The men have their own expenses to pay, and can select any way of g ing down they wish so they are cn hand to board their respective vessels by_noon. Danfel L.
