He was also ordered to pay a fine of $1,- 000. It was the maximum penalty on the charge under which Horn was convicted here two weeks ago. Tn passing sentence Judge Morton said the offense charged against Horn was dangerous and reprehensible and called for the imposition of the maxi- mum penalty. He declared _that whether Horn was a German officer had nothing to do with the case. Ac- cording to the law at that time it was not a criminal offense, the court said, for an individual to perpetrate such an act as Horn attempted against a foreign country, but it could not be said that the law permitted it.

JEWETT CITY Frank Geer and Clifford Barr Get 40- pound Turtle After Interesting Ex- perience—Little Girl Falls From Limb, Breaking Arm—Three Bor- ough Boys Ordered to Newport. Frank Geer and Clifford Barr were riding along the road towards Butts’ bridge Tuesday when they espled an enormous snapping turtle blocking the way. The two young men pounced upon him to prevent his escape into the swamp beside the road. tur- tie which, when brought to Jewett City, weighed 40 pounds, put up a stiff fight. But the men held him by the ' tail. They had nothing in the shape of a weapon with which to dispatch their capture. Young Barr volunteer- ed to stand upon the turtle’s back and keep him anchored, while Mr. Geer hastened to a farmhouse a half mile away to borrow an axe. All arrange- ments were satisfactory except to Mr. Turtle. After a little rest from his recent scuffie with the two men he promptly started for the swamp with Mr. Barr standing on his back. He was held up, however. and Geer re- turning, made his quietus with the axe. The remains were put into a grain sack and left beside the road until the two men should return. When they did return a few hours later a stranze thing had happened. The tur- tie’s mate had come and deposited 21 handsome round white eges in a hole which she had dug beside the bag. Mr. Geer has the esgs on exhibition and Mr. Turtle is to be relegated to the soup kettle. Gardens Worth Seeing.

This local fund has done wonderful work for so small a community as the above amount shows. This large amount has been attained by the weekly contributions of people loyal to the allied cause. Many national ap- peals for help have been made by other societies for the welfare of the fighting troops abroad, and have re- ceived hearty response and co-opera- tion on the part of people Interasted in the success of the Allies. The committee of the local order ap- peals to all people, interested in the worthy cause, for more contributions.

Thinks Aliens Should Be Drafted. Why not conscrpit aliens? This question, for which he had a positive answer, was asked by a leading official of the town Wednesday. And, indeed, why not? No alien is in any degzree, except by participation in the rignt of franchise, restricted in the enjoyment of the liberty for which the United States is now battiing with autocracy. As he enjoys this liberty, so, too. shouid he be obligated to defend it by force of arms if necessary, it is being held by many here—by men who contemplate the departure of their own sons for while aliens remain at home and °njo the comforts of peaceful occupation. A drive to induce allied aliens either to volunteer to fight with the troops of Uncle Sam or under the flag of their native land is one of the activities sug- gested for Killingly.

The meeting is to be purely patriotic and the call that it will sound will be the centuries old call to war. The time for words is over, the hour for action at hand. Tonight's meeting wiil be a measure of the patriotism of the bovs of 1917 as compared with the glorious tradition of the boys of '7§ and "61 and of other veams of war. Whether or not Killingly has young men who, in addition to the scores al- ready, enlisted for service in the coast artillery corps and other branches of the service, are willing to step forwar-d and align themselves with an army that is going to make world history, the meeting is expected to show.
