The last year Mr. Wil- liams made a splendid record in get- ting in this part of the taxes. This year there are so many yopng me) In the military and naval service that it is probable that many assessments will not be coilected. Have Failed to Support Families.

To Canvass Episcopal Parish. Men of St. Alban’s church will con- duct Sunday a simultaneous canvass for church current expenses and for benevolences. The parish has been divided into districts and canvassers have been assigned to cover each dis- trict. It is expected that the canvass will be completed within a few hours. Friendly Aliens Uneasy. Some “friendly aliens” who are not possessed of any desire to enter the military service for this their adopted ccuntry and equally lacking in enthu- siasm over fighting for their own countries are rather up a tree at this critical period in the world war. They are fearful that the United States department has entered into an agreement with their cld country gov- ernments to permit drafting them af- ter the classification work now going on is completed, as has been semi-offi- cially hinted from time to time. Their main ambition is to evade all military service and hold to the good Jjobs they are now filling and from the earnings of each week continue to lay away a substantiai surplus. If they waive their right to be class- ed as aliens they, of course, will be taken for the army of the United States. If they do not do so, they feel they are liable to be sent back to their own countries to fight with allied forces. Killingly has a collection of these men without patriotism for anything else but the almighty dollar and they are getting very little sympathy in the official quarters where they come to look for it. making such absurd claims es being the sole support of a grand - father “over there” or a sick aunt whom they have never seen. These men ill conceal their dread of being sent back to their native lands, yet thev are unwilling to fight for Uncle Sam. This applies to un- married and physicallv fit aliens who come under the so-called friendly class. J. Raymond Casev on Honor Roll. To the list of graduates of Killing!!
