Williams, accused of theft. He is charged with stealing four pieces of metai of the value of $7, the propesiy of Abra- ham Lelbovitz, which was part of a carload of junk being loaded on a carl in the Westerly freight yard. In an- swering the complaint, Zanelle said he did not steal the metal. He asked an_employe of the railroad company If he could have a few pieces of the scrap iron, as he wanted to use them in connection with hoisting water from the well. He was told to help him- self, and he did. He acknowledged that he took four pleces, two pieces more than required, and that his fa- ther sold the balance to a junkman. Judge Williams decided thai Zanelle should be held and requested the po- lice to iInvestigate the claim made, and that the accused be given oppor- tunity to point out to the police the men who told him to help himseif to the scrap iron. There is some doubt as to whether the accused is gulity of theft, and the coure has the case un- der advisement, pending investigation.

No col- ors were unfurled. No reporters or press photographers were present. No drums or bugles sounded. The company officers of the bat- talion stepped out in front of Major General Barnett and _saluted. For If a minute the corps’ commandant addressed them. He spoke in an ev- eryday conversational tone which could be heard a dozen vards away, and his message was simply that he trusted that the marinés who were setting out that day to fight under General Pershing would stanchly up- hold the high traditions of the corps.
