ISN'T THIS SIMPLE TO UNDER- | “I'm through doiny my bit towards buying automobiles, diamonds and gold watches for booze sellers,” quoth Antone Bhis, 2 White Rock millhand, when Judge Oliver H. Williams ques- tioned him as to the misuse of his hard-earned money in connection with the charge of intoxication, in_ the Third District court, Frifa: He said his average- pay was 317 a week and that it all went for booze, except the part he paid for board and a few clothes, now and then, Blais said it was the first time he had been ar- rested, but had been drunk many times. He said he was forty-five years of age, a French-Canadian, unmarried, had been in the states thirty-two yéars and never laid by a cent, and “haven't even a second pair of socks.” Fe made quite a talk and his final sentence was: “Judge, I'm done with booze.” He was ordered to pay a fine of $2 and costs of $4. That amount was due him at the mill and he managed to have it paid into the court. gh Wallace, a farmhand, em- ed for e time on a farm in Va- riefyville at a wage rate of 315 = month and board, was charged with being intoxicated. e pleaded guilty and was fined $2 and costs o* $2.30. He told the court that he had been ar- rested once before for intoxication and paid the fine. He 8id not want to go down the line and he would pay the fine given a little time. He was permitted _to arrange for the pay- ment of the fine with Police Chief Rrown. He said he was forty-two and had always worked at farming. and believed he was entitled to_more pay than he was receiving. So he auit work. came to Westerly and got drunk, but would gladly go back to his old job on the farm, rather than serve thirty days in jail.

P FIRST REGIMENT WiLL : CAMP ON YALE FIELD Several Officers Favor Mobilization at Nian Definits announcement was made Friday morning that the First regi ment would leave for New Haven as soon as the camp at the old Yale foot- ball field could be gotten into shape, which Lieutenant Colonel Edward A. Shuttleworth, U. S. A., said would be within three or four days. He thought the régiment would make its trip by the beginning of next week. All com- panfes will go by train except the Supply company, the equipment need- ed tmmediately going in -\Zgage cars and the Supply company carrying the remainder. It is also possible that a detachment from the Machine Gun company may make the ‘march over- land. in order to care for its animals. Those who march will go by 4 Middletown and Durhom, which is consideréed a better roud, although somewhat jongér than the more trav- &led route. Considerable work must he done on the grounds before they are in con- dition for a camping site, and for this reason many of the officers had be- lievéd that Niantic would be chosen in_preference to New Haven. Water pipes must be laid, this work alone costing close to $300, and bath housés and several other structures must be erected. Niantic, én the oth- er hand, is practically ready for oc- cupancy at any time. One point made by the officers who favored Niantic was that the regiment would probably not stay in Comnecticut for any great length of time, and that it was use- less to o to any Ereot expense when orders might come to move almost any day. They are free in makinz predictions that the New England troops will be sent south to concen- tration campé by the middle of next month. as it is known that the fed- eral militia bureau is already arranz- ing for transportation for the move- ment of National Guard contingents from the different sections of the country.

St Meérchant Ships British Headquarters in France, July 13 By The Associatéd Press)— The German uttack along the sand dunes of the Belgian coast on Tues- day evening was in nearly all respects a miniature of the British attack on the Messines Ridge on June T Tt seemed as if the Germans had studied that battle in detail and plan- ned their thrust wholly upon the les- sons learned. There was a vast dif- ference in the size of the twn opera- tions, however. for while the German attack of Tuesday was limited to 1.- 100 yards the British charge at Mes- cines was along a ten mile front. The depth of the two attacks was also in the ration of 10 to 1, the Ger- mans having advanced only about 800 vards, or to the British support line, where they are now endeavoring to en- trench themselves, while the British have fallen back to the west bank of the Yser. This little battle on the sands of Flanders will live largely through the valorous defense of the English troops, who met the shock of the German massed {ormations after having their protecting defenses blown to pleces about them by the greatest concentra- tion of German shell fire seen on this front in more than a year. The trenches dug among the blowing and shifting sand dunes were speedily ob- literated by the storm of high explo- sive shells the Germans were able to pour upon them. Most of the shells were the famous 5.9 centimetre projectiles and up- wards, few field guns having come in- Washington, Ju ment was made ton eral George W the shipping board's corporation. :hat offer contracts fo government shipbu produce four hundr ships.
