Petitioners Want Webster’s Crossing Permanently Closed to Tra Tt was stated here Friday that a petition will be addressed to the rail- road company, asking that the cross- ing known as Webster's, at Davville, be closed to traffic, and closed per- marently. Several fatalities have oc- curred at this crossing and there have been numbers of narrow escapes from accidents. The crossing is on a state road that leads south from Attawaugan into Davville_and is a_part of the New London-Worcester highway system. It leads out into another main highway on_the westerly side of the Labelle building. _'This route is listed in au- tomobile guides and the crossing is therefore regarded as especlally dan- gerous for motorists unfamiliar with the route. Suggestions as to what might be done in the cvent of the closing of the crossing include building a little sec- tion of road, not much over 300 feet in length, from the state road at the easterly side of the crossing south- ward past the Kennedy house to the Main Street crossing in Dayville, or running a roadway above the present Webster's crossing, as has been talked of for some time past.

The committee decided to draw up a statement of th ereasons for esking this appropriation. to be issued as ble. They also took steps to learn what other prozressive cities are doing for fire protection, and to show what effect the expendiure pro- pos~d would have upon the tax rate and the rate of insurance. Later they plen to make comprenensive recom- meadations to the directors for an adequate policy for the future. .The chamber was represented at the mecting of the council Wednesday evening, when ths petition was read. At that time the council reforred the masiter fo a committee consisting of the fire committec and the finance committee, with power to call a public hearing if deemed best. Members of the administration expressed the view that the fullest publicity concerning such appropriations was desirable.

Plans for completing the every mem. ber canvass which is to be made Sun- day afternoon by the men of the Con- grezational church were given addi- tional consideration at a mee‘ing held Thursdey evening. The total budget which it is hoped to raise is $5,600, which is ahout 31000 more than' the amcunt recelved from pew rentals and the every member canvass a year ago. This_increase is to take care of ex- penses in connection with the local church, the budget for missions re- maining the same as a year ago. The committee of the church anticipates that the free pew:system, which is to be inaugurated Jan. ist, will irove to be en advantageous change from the former pew rental system and that the every member canvass to cover the entire budget of the local church and missions will prove to be a satisfactory way of raising its funds.

C., Dec. 8.—An in timate study of the spint which domi- nates the famous French Foreign Le- giow in the present world-war is given by Lieutenant Zinovl Pechkoft communication to the National Geo- graphic Soclety, a port of which was released todsy by the Society as a bul- letin of its war geography series. Lieut. Pechkoff, who was onc cf the |first_volunteers to proffer his services to France at the ou:break of the war in August, 1914, is a Russian_subject whe: was unable to return to his own country from Italy in the first few days of the great struggle. He joined the Foreign Legion as a private and after taking part in three thrilling bayonet charges was promoted 1o the rank of Lieutenant, in which capacity he was leading a platoon against an entrenched machine gun position when he received a wound which cost him his right arm. For his exploit in this charge, which resulted in the capture of four lines of German trenches in the space of 47 minutes—the Generai Staff had estimated that it would re- ant Pechkoff received the War Cross with palms (the hignest of the four classes of this order) and the Military Meqal for Valour. The Society's balletin, based on Licutenant Pechkoff’s communication follow: “The romance and the adventurous exploits associated with the name of the Forelgn-Legion of France consti- tute some of tne most picturesque and thrilling episodes in the history cf that nation during a period extending over the greater portion of the nimeteenth certury. It is not surprising therefore, that when the houx of France's sreat- est trial arrived in August. 1914, this notable organization, then in service in Morocco and Alegeria, should have beer. among the first_bodies of troups to ve rushed to the front, nor is it to De wondered at that the Legion should have formed the nucleus to which zravitated thousands of eager spirits of other natiomalities who felt that the cause of France and French liberties was their own cause. “The French government was quick ealizé the potencydn the appeal of the glorious pust achievements of the Foreign Legion, and each battclion of the four regiments was made the cen- tral unit of a new volunteer regiment. It should be explai to Americar laymen that tiie French regiment is a much larger unit than the regiment of the American army. In France the strongth of a company is 230 men; there are four companies to the bat- talion, four haitalions ta the regiment.

Indeed, I am convinced that this war, instead of shattering moral codes and brutalizing the men who are the active partiei- pants in it, will develop and crystallize the noblest impulses of those who in the emotional madness of the chlrll sweep ruthlessly over the enemy. The soldier does not think of his opponent as another human being, as & hving, breathing entity, with heart, . brain, lungs, and limbs like himself. If he were 50 to consider the man against whom he rajses his bayonet for the fatal lunge I do mot believe he could complete the stroke. The cnemy is simply an OBSTACLE which much bs removed. This is the peychology of combat as I view it. In all their per- sonal relations in the trenches the soldier of 1916 is a more loyal frisnd. a more genial companion, a nurse of more tender solicitude for the stri a more self-sacrificing patriot—all in all a finer, nobler, bigger MAN-—than the rame individual who enlisted from civiiian life two years ago. “When tho history of this war comies to be written the Foreign Legion's share in its hardships, its achieve- ments, and its glories will ocupy a page all it; own.

Upon my return to the front after six months in the American hos- pital in Paris I was talking with a colonel of the Leglonaries who was wearing a war cross with thres branches of palm (having been mén- tioned in the despatches of the whole army on three different occasions).
