The sailor said he hag given Billy the money to buy liguor. Buckley, according to the story told Capt. D. J. Twomey by two sailors, accosted them on lower Broadway and offered to get liquor for them. At first they declined but they gave him a dol- lar and he got two bottles of whiskey. ‘He was seen passing something to the sailors by Policeman Ralph Divito and when the officer approached one of the sailors ran away. He was caught in Chestnut street by Luke Riley, one of the guards at the Marlin- Rockwell company plant. The two bottles of whiskey were secured as evidénce and the two sailors signed a written statement of what had hap- pened. Noble was found in the Water street neighborhood by Policeman Divito.

A huge Liberty loan in this country means ' discouragement to Germany and encouragement to our allies; it means funds to find, equip and train our soldiers into the best armies in the world; it means support and com- PR Gencn.l\ Chairman T.

Witk the American Army in France, April (By The Associated Press.) —“Our troops were overwhelmed by a superiority of numbers, but fought to a finish.” Th was the official characteriza- tion by a field commander of the American troops, who successfully re- pulsed an enemy onslaught in the Toul sector, in' his report to headguart- ers. Details of the engagement, which the correspondent pieced together from interviews with officers and men who participated in the battle, show that tha Americans stuck to their guns while the Germans were placing liquid fire, gas and almost every other con- ceivable device of frightfulness on them. One of them, who lay wounded in an American hospital today, kept his machine gun going after the chief gunner had been killed, two feet away, and he himself had been wounded. thus protecting a turn in the road known as Dead Man’s Curve, over whick some of the American couriers passed in the face of a concentrated enemy fire. That the enemy’s losses were so se- vere that he changed his mind and was cured of his belief that it was go- ing to be a walkover, was indicated by his feeble artillery fire yesterday and today. Despite the driving rain, how- ever, the American artillery showed signs of animated activity. The offi- cers and men were in fine spirit, even the wounded laughing and joking.

Established 1872 Main Street, Norwich, Conn, GOOD PROGRESS MADE BY BRITISH DYES COMPANY It Has Been at Work For Over Two , Years—Outdoing Germans. Londcn, April 22.—The Britlsh Dyes Comapany, promoted by the hoard of trade with the assistance of the treas- ury, to take the position held before the war by thc Germans, has been at work for over two years and is alle to report good progress. The works at Hudder/eld, near Leeds, have veached the proportions of a small tawn and are still expanding. The di- rectors have gone to the heart of the German success. It was not by making dyes, but by making “intermediates” that the Ger- mans forced the whole world to de- pend on them in this great industry. Now, “intermediates” are being made at Huddersfield and the most elaborate and expensive plant used in the whole undertaking is employed in this es- sential branch, which absorbs eight tentas of the capital outlay. Compounds have been devised and dves rroduced even beyond tie in- genuity ol the Germans. The company hase been atle to manufacture nitric acid, fuming sulphuric acid and in- termed:ates, such as benzidine, betan- aphto! and synthetic.phenol, as well as fine dyes and is evidently in'con- trol of a complete organization. On |the departure from Jassy General Barthelot with the French Mission, a deduction from the Ru- manian Parliament handed him an ad- dress. The scene was a most poig- nant one, both the Rumanians and the Frenchmen veing visibly affected.
