The total registration for the state is 3,651, or 1,934 below: the estimated 5,58. The number is di- vided between 2,962 white, 57 blacks and 606 aliens. - The totals showing 2,961 white men who have a_citizenship standing mak- ing them eligible for the draft are far below predictions. If a trifle better than one-third of these young men are found qualified for service, it will pro- vide only 1000 national army recruits to be added to the now nearly depleted reserves under the eelective service law.

Burke, The town of South Kingston is to have a modern combination motor fire apparatus, the best available, and ca- pable of doing the work of some de- partments that have only motor hose wagons and hook ang ladder trucks. At the financial town meeting, after appropriation $3000 for the fire ap- paratus, referred the matter to the fire district, it being explained that intangible personal property amount- inz to more than $3,000,000 could be ssessed for the purpose by the fire district, but the town could assess for a certain amount, throwing the burden mostly on the real and tangible personal property owners. It was reported in Westerly Thurs- day that Representative Samuel H. Davis had been called to service on special duty as chaplain in the trans- port service. The report could not be verified, as Mr. Davis was in Provi- dence, where Thursday afternoon he delivered a_patriotic address on The American Flag at the annual meeting of the Rhode Island Medical society, of which Dr. John Champlin of West- erly is president. Mr. Davis is a prac- ticing lawyer and is also a regularly ordained clergyman, and before tak- ing up the practice of law was paster o fthe Pawcatuck Seventh Day Baptist church. He also served as secretary of the Massachusetts Anti-Saloon league. He is now a representative from Westerly in the Rhode Island general assembly, a member of the Westerly company, Rhode Island State guard, and is intensely interested in all local patriotic efforts. In the early stage of the entry of |the United States into the war: Mr. Davis expressed willingness to engage in Red Cross work, but by reason of his age was not accepted. Mr. Davis then applied to the war department for appointment as an army chaplain, He was above the age limit and regu- lar appointment was denied; but, so it is understood, he was held fer Spe- cial service. It now develops that he would be acceptable as chaplain in the CASTORIA For Infants and Children InUse For Over 30 Years e AT DR.A.J.SINAY DENTIST Rooms 18-19 Alice Building, Norwich Phone 1177-3 5 10 | Iness before the pul WHEN YOU WANT -sohG - WESTERLY REGISTRANTS _LISTED transport’ service, with duty to ac- Whole number registered.at West- | Miss Anna Barber. company active troops overseas, and urd, with troops that are invalided, and those given leave to return to the United' States on limited leave or on furlough. jss Mercie Anna Barber, daughter of -Mr. and Mrs. Ellery Barber, who suffered a. severe. attack.of cgrehril hefnorrhage a few days ago, died on Thursday at the home of her parents in Main street.

Miss Bdrber was graduated from Westerly High school, class of 1910, and was salutatorian. She was a bookkeeper in the employ of the Westeriy Light and Power company. Alzero Brown was perhaps the first Westerly man to enter foreign service in the present war, as he has already earned two service bars, one for each six ‘months in.the United States army abroad. He went with the Johns Hop- kins university unit as an ambulance driver. -Some time ago he broke his right arm while cranking an auto- mobile, but has recovered from the injury, as he was able to write a let- ter received Thursday by relatives in Westerly. Before entering the service he was chauffeur for the Pope family at Watch Hill. Chautauqua will come to Westerly for a seven days’ course July 10. At a meeting of the guarantors of the Westerly association, officers were elected as follows: Willard H. Bacon, president; Miss Marie Zangrandi, sec- retary; Lewis.
