WESTERLY OFFICER PRAISED Major Arthur B. Nash Doing Good Service at Fort Getty— Local Interest in Induction to Office of Providence Mission Superintendent—Death of Miss Abbie Sullivan —Committee on Red Cross Membership Starts Week", Drive. Y — Major Arthur N. Nash of Westerly 1s commanding officer at Fort Getty and 2 war correspondent writes of him wn this deserved complimentary way: “He is a strict disciplinarian, but a popular officer withal—in the opinion of one of his assoclates at Getty—one of the most popular officers, among both officers and men, in the Narra- Zansett bay defense. Major Nash is a veteran of the Spanish war and has just completed 22 years of military service. Bvery inch a soldier, he has the welfare of his. men at heart and from morning till night he 1is "here, there and everywhere about the fort, studying the situation and endeavor- ing to make things as comfortable as yossible for the. men of the two, com- panies which' make up the garrison of the fort—the Nineteenth company, formerly the Fifth, of Westerly, and the Thirteenth company, formérly the Fourth, of Providence. About 200 more men are expected at Fort Getty soon and it is the duty of Major Nash to provide suitable ac- commodations for them. The barracks are now filled to capacity, and his problem is where to place the extra rgen. It is too cold in Lower Narra- sansett bay to compel men to sleep under canvass, and it is safe to say that when the 200 recruits report to Mcjor Nash comfortable quarters will be ready for them. Captain Robert M. Freestone of ‘Westerly,. in command of the Nine- teenth company, has been in the ser- vice 14 years and Lieutenant George Stillman, also of Westerly, has served nine years. Captain John W. Sweeney of Providence, the medical officer at Fort Getty, is the senior captain of the medical department of the Narra- gansett bay coast defense. Thé second Heutenants are Lieutenant Walcott of Maseachusetts, Lieutenant Harrington of Providence for the Thirteenth com- Lieutenant Hall of Warren for the Nineteenth company. sre from the officers’ reserve corps and graduates of the coast artillery school at Fort Monroe. Through Sergeant George Chapman, who has been on recruiting servi¢e in Westerly, these men have joined the Nineteenth company: Ralph Burdick, Crandall, Cosmos _Gencarelli, George Virian, George Chamberlain, Angelo Murano, Royden Matteson, Charles Rathbun, John Trafalis, Gor- don McCall and John Lawrence. Monday ene of a pair of horses own- ed by Peter Priore, and at work with the town enow scraper, slipped on a rail of the Shore Line Blectric Street Railway company at Broad and Main streets and fell, held fast to the rail with on= hind leg somewhat twisted. The lons prons of the shoe was caught under the rim of the rail and held ®ast. In order to release the horse a. horse- shoer was called and removed the shoe. Then the horse regained footing |sai and not in the least injured. A crowd assembled and many offered sugges- tion as to the best method of releas- ing the animal. The driver of the team sat on the head of the prostrated horse, paid no heed to the suggestions and coolly remarked to an .assistan “Hurry up, and get Mike, the horse- shoer, her With the assistance of Teamster Purtill, the horseshoer did Test. nce M.

Chapman of terly. e reports that he saw a flnck of wild geese, about 40, Sunday. afternoon, fi ing ‘in a southeasterly direction, and the ‘honking was a familiar sound to him.

A dealer may ask the customer to purchase cornmeal with any. other food preduct, but he may sell without this restriction. if he desires. The dealer is authorized to.require that a-customer shall buy four pounds of cornmeal in order to get two pounds of. sugar, or two pounds of corn meal to get one pound of sugar.” The attention of the food adminis- tration in Rhode Island has recently been called to many cases where com- bination. sales were being made be- cause the dealer did not thoroughly understand the rule which was an- nounced two weeks or more ago.
