Captain D. J. Twomey made a charge against Doyon of running an automobile while under the influence of liquor when the man presented himself at the police station with Mr. Thumm to report the accident. The horse that Christiansen was driving was knocked down, but got TWO MEN AND TWO WOMEN IN BURGLARY After the testimony given in the Groton police court on Satyrday morn- ing by Jeanette Fugere of Woonsock- et, R. I, Joseph Gemma and Frank Rotondo, Annie Gemma and Jeanstte Fugere were bound over for trial in the superior court charged with stat- utory burglary. The men are accused of taking a safe from the Star restaurant on the Eastern Point road at Groton last Wednesday. Bonds for the men were fixegoxt $5,000 and for the women at $3,000, Jeanette Fugere, who came from Woonsocket, R. 1. and had been with the others but a week, made a con- fession in court. She told of the two men leaving the Pony farm, as ‘the little red building once a schoolhouse, located near Burnett's Cormers, in Center Groton, is called, last Tuesday night in an automobile and not re- turning until 1.30 Wednesday morn- ing. When they came in, Annie ask- ed them where they had been and Joe said, “Been out robbing.” They then brought a small black safé into the house and both men took off their coats and went to work to open it. They had for instruments, the steel pliers from the machineé, and Frank went to get more tools, Joe, however, opening the safe while he was gone, by using the ‘pliers and a monkey wrench. They found money, papers and Liberty bonds in the safe and the papers were burned in the kitchen stove. They put the money in a pil- low case which was left in the kitchen while the men took the safe away in the machine. They were gone about 15 minutes, which time was -used by the girls getting dressed ready, as the boys told them, to “beat it.” They went in the machine to Providence. e men left Jeanette at the ccrner of Weybos- sett and Mathewson streets and told her to take a walk while they ‘put the money away: She returned to them in about half an hour and the party of four went to the Sunnyside hotel, where they remained the rest of the day, taking in a theatre performance in the evening and returning to the hotel about 12 o'clock. The next day they left Providence and came to Norwich, then to New London where they were apprehended by Officer Frank Geer Friday after- noon at 5 o'clock. They were brought to the New London police stationand their clothing as well as their auto- mobile searched. Two guns, two bank books, a number of checks, tools that were used in breaking the safe open and other things were found in their possession. Among the things that Pauline Peck and Clarence Rlair, which had been placed in the safe. A few of the checks were made out to Harry Zavoritis, owner of the Star restau- rant. Their automobile had deep scratches that were made in the body when the men were placing the safe on the back seat. At 6 o'clock the two men were turned over to State Policeman Alfred L. Rudd and Deputy Sheriff Manuel J. Martin who took them to the Gro- ton lockup, the women remaining at New London station house for the night. . Both men refused to testify beyoad saying there was no truth in the storv. The girls were represented at court by Judge Charles A. Gallup who claimed there was no cause for hold- ing his clients beyond the fact tnat they might be needed as witnesses. SENDS GIFT HERE BY RED TRIANGLE CHECK As an evidence of the fact that the Y. M. C. A. Red Triangle overseas is deing what might be called a banking business for “our boys” the following is related by Secretary Edwin Hill of the Norwich association. On Satur- day last a voung lady came to the of- fice of the association and asked if she could have a check cashed; it proved to be a real “Red Triangle” check and of course was cashed by the secretary. It seems that a brave American soldier boy “over there” de- sired ‘to send his dear friend a gift angd decided that money was the most practical and so he asked the “Red Triangle” man in France to fix it up and of course his request was grant- ed. He paid the meney to the “Y” man and 1n due time a check was issued te the proper person by the Red Triangle war work treasurer in New York and the check found its way as related above to the office of the local Y. M, C. A. This transaction indi- cates how many opportunities there are to serve “our boys” and how the “Y” is endeavoring to take advantage of these opportunities. SYRACUSE PASTOR PREACHED HERE SUNDAY The congregation of the United church listened en Supday to a mas- terly sermon on The Useless Vision, as given by the Rev. Walter R. Fer- tis, of Spracuse, N. Y. Starting with fhe tragic fate of King Zedekiah of the Old Testament, the speaker skil- fully wove together God’'s purpose and plan for the world, up to the present war crisis, explaining that now, more than ever, the Divine Hand is shown, in the trend of events and the spirit- ual uplift which will follow the rav- ages of ‘war. Two Massachusetts Men Fight. John Kelly, 30, of Templeton, Mass., and George Jenmes, 34, of North Ad- ams, Mass, who ot into a fight in the Franklin square nejghborhood, were gathered in on Saturday night by Policemen D. J. O'Neil and Joseph Fagrell and will be presented in the pelice court on the charge of breach of the peace. they had were the bank books of Mrs.! _SEPTEMBER 2, Christiansen was returning to the city at the time and it is claimed that the Thumm wagon was struck when it had gone far to one side of the road to avoid the automobile which was coming in the opposite direction. Christiansen was enveloped in the wreckage of the wagon and sustained a long cut on the top of his head which it took four stitches to close when he was treated by Dr. J. J. Donohue after he had been brought t: thig city in the automobile of D. Do- nais of Taftville. The wagon was such a wreck that it still remained by the side of the road on Sunday. New York Car Drove Off. Bernard J. McGuire of Winsted made coffiplaint to the police Sunday night that his automobile had been run into and badly damaged at Yan-, tic abouf 6.3Q in the evening by a car with a New rk registration number, whose driver halted for only a mo- ment and then drove away without waliting to see what damage had been done. McGuire got the number and the car will be located by the police, it is - probable, = The Winsted man said he was ap- proaching this city and was on the right hand side of the trolley tracks after crossing them at Yantic, when the New York car came along from the opposite direction and suddenly turned diagonally across the traeks and ran into him. He had brought his car to a stop when it was* hit. The radiator was smashed and other damage done to the forward -part of the car. The New York auto, he said, stopped only long enopigh to get loose from the tangle and then drove away. up and ran away. It wag caught af- ter a short run, and whether it is in- Jjured or not had not Been learned on Sunday night. PR RO R SR SR SRS R S S e ALLIES BOUND TO WIN IN RIGHTEOUS CAUSE More and more it is evident that the men in the service of Uncle Sam ap- preciate what individuals and institu- tions are trying to do for their com- fort and pleasure. Sunday afternoon at the local Young Men's Christian Association from 5.30 to 7 o'clock, a large number of sailors, with a good sprinkling of marines and soldiers to- gether with several civilians, enjoyed the weekly “get together” which con- sisted of enjovable music by Swahn's orchestra, singing of popular war songs and hymns, a praver and a Lrief address bv Rev. J. W. Areson of Grace Episcopal church, who held the interest of all present by his earnest message. Mr. Areson, among other things, said: “I am happy to be connected with the Boys Working Reserve, which had enrolled this past.summer over one hundred and gfty thousand high scheol boys who have been doing splendid service on the farms of the country, and many of these farms would have produced very little had it not been tor these boys, many of whom had never known what real hard work was before. I was thinking eof what I should say to you today and the thoyght of “power” came -to my mind. What a tremendous power our gov- ernment has to send this man there and the other man yonder. Tke oth day I was having trouble with my Ford car, and I stopped at a garage and asked the man to repair it; he said he could not possibly do it as he had several cars to attend to. I gave my card showing that I was jn the service of the government and this was a government ear, whereupon he changed his attitude immediately. his wasT a cencrete example of the power qf our gevernment. Then I was thinking of the power back of this great country of ours; it is the power of God’s word, which is playing such a large part.in the affairs of the world. That passoge which reads, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light to my pathway.” How won- derfully the word leads us as a gov- ernment and as individwals. The rea- son we are bound to win the victory as that we are fighting that others may have what belongs to them and the reason that our enemies are sure to fail and fall is that they are en- deavoring in every possible way to rob others of their rights; it will cost us much, even the blood of many of our best young men, but we will pay whatever price is necessary to aceom- plish the purposes of Gad which ‘are our purposes. ) . Many beautiful flowers were sent in and these were much appreciated. Following the address, a substantial and homelike lunch was served by the ladies of Grace Episcopal church, of Yantie, and the ladies certainly gid themselves proud in what they served and the efficiency with which they served it. ST. MARY’S T. A. B. SOCIETY REMEMBERS ITS DEAD As is the annual custom, there will be a memorial mass in St. Patrick’s church today, requested by St. Mary’s Total Abstinence and Benevolent So- ciety for the following deceased mem- pers of the organization: Thomas Al- len, William Birracree, John Buckley, John Burns, James Casey, Patrick Connelly, Patrick Connell, Cornelius Corcoran, John Coyle, John Crawford, Jeremiah Crowley, John Dempsey, John Devine, John Driscoll, Gibbon English, Thomag Foley, Patrick Fox, John Gauthier, William S.

The com- mittee included President Andrew Ca- ples, Vice President Walter Casey, Chairman Board of Directors William H. McGuinness, Secretary Maurice F. Kelley, Trustee John Donahue, Di- rector Dennis McCarthy and Ser- geant-at-Arms John Wozniak. BERNARD CULL RESCUED FROM SUNKEN STEAMER The United Stdtes cargo steamer Joseph Cudahy was torpedoed at sea 700 miles from the English coast Aug. 17 and 62 members of the crew are reported missing, according to an As- sociated Press report sent out from Washington on Saturday. Thirteen were rescued. Twe submarines made the attack and two torpedoes struck the ship. The captain of the steamer was taken aboard one of the U-boats and questioned. Of the missing 22 are members of the naval armed guard, only two of the guard being reported reseued. Bernard Cull, of Norwich, wag 2 steward on the Cudahy and was one of the few saved. A telegram was received by his' mother, Mrs. Ellen €Cull, of Broadway, announcing his ar- rival in New York Sunday. Young Cull was graduated from St. Patrick’s school and attended Nor- wich Free Academy for a year. He is about 22 or 23. Bathing Stopped Temperarily. Bathing wag prohibited- at Ocean beach Saturday morning becguse of the danger bathers were subjected to en agcount of firing by the zevern- ! ment forces in New London harber. On_Sunday at | ocloc the regular bréal the Y. w A. was served to the marines, soldiers and sailors, and the- usual good -num- bers were present, fully Seventy-five. The ladies made the occasion homes like by their kindly service, which thé fellows: fully appreciated. General Secretary Edwin Hill of ta} local “Y” gave a brief address on the subject of herces; he said in part: This is a day of heroes, and Hheroic¢ deeds. Washington ‘was a great hero for our country, and we must not for- get his brave soldiers who followed him barefoot in the snow; these were real heroes. Lincoln is a hero we like to think of. He paid the suprems price of his life blood for the acpgomplishment of his great purpose to free the black race, and during my residence In the south I heard the old time n‘egrm speak with great réverence of “Marse Lincoln.” He died heroically for his country. . Lafayette, the hefo, the first Buto- pean to draw his sword in behalf of America, was a man to be honored and is honoréd by ug all,” and the present war has made stronger the bonds between Francé and America. Father Daimen, the Catholic priest, was 4 hero; when he detérmined to g0 to minister to the leper colony his friends begged him not to go, but he heeded the call of God rather than the entreaty of his friends. He went, he labored for the lepers and con- tracted leprosy and died with them. He made the supreme “sacrifice and thus became a hero. 5 Two men, strangers, riding on the train recently and occupying the same seat were attracted by a huge Ameri- cfin flag made by electric lights. It was very attractive in the darkness of the night. One man said to the other, “Old Glory never meant so -much to me as it does tonight, for the reason that my son is now in the service, We would not have him fail in his duty to his country, but it is dcubly hard for us_at home, for he is our only son.” to. him, “Brother, you are in great company. - God gave his only Son in sacrifice for a world.” Yes, men, He, the Son of God, made a great sacrifice for you and me, and we will all do our best to prove wor- thy of his sacrifice. You in the ranks as well as the officers of our army and navy, and those-of us whose lot it is to remain at home, will by the help of God, do our duty to the limit, and some day, not tbo far distant, we will all rejoice together in a glorious vic- tory for democcracy and righteous- nes: NORWICH HOMES FOR CONVALESCENT SOLDIERS Once more an urgent appeal is made to those Norwich householders who have room to spare and hospitable hearts, in_behalf of the convaleseent soldiers. It is desired to find as many tered health, in _sore need of a few months' normal home life, to help them towards complete recovery, per- haps. These are not only -our own boys, but alse, many French and En- glish soldiers, who have a right to our hospitality, as Americans. During the next two weeks, it is oped that many names of those will- ing to offer a _home and a welcome, will be sent to the Home Service Sec- tion of the Red Cross, at the Elks' Home, on Main street. It should be borne in mind that these wounded men are all in the first stages of get- ting well, and will not prove too great a care, or necessitate any undue nurs- ing or trouble. The change from the horrors of battle to an atmosphere of home, will work wonders for the phy- men, who have all but laid down their lives for the cause of democracy. Let the people of Norwich, always noted for their patriotism, come for- ward in large numbers now, and show 2 readiness to do their bit, by nurs- ing these wounded boys back to health. Thig is a. great chance for the stay-at-homes to show the right spirit, and to extend the helping hand. At the end of two weeks-all names of those willing to entertain a con- valescent soldier for a temporary pe- tiod, will be sent on te the Red Cross Leadquarters in New York, whence further and necessary information will be issued later." .

However, many parents fail to impart this religious teaching and trathing, some bechuse not fully ea- pable of so doing,“others because todo busy. otheérs again through careless- ness or lack of good Wwill. For these reasons the Catholic church has as« sumed vpiat should be the responsi- bility of the parent, and in parish =chools where children are instructed —and instructed well—in secular sub- jects, carries on with equal thorough- ness systematic daily teaching of the subject of religion, that pupile may attain that requisite knowledge of God and of that worship of Him which constitutes religion. Father Galvin mentioned .the ad- vantages which made such a system of teaching and training a real priv- ilege, and explained the mistake of parents who continue to send their children to non-Catholic schools, oft- entimes from trivial and absurd rea- sons. There can be but two legitimate excuses for non-attendance of chil- dren at the parish school, he sald, dis- tance, and ill health. The priests of the parish, the Cath- olic church, God Himself, desire the growing child to have regular, sys- tematic, thorough religious teaching, that he may be fitted to grow up firm in his fatih. to live the life of a good Christian, Catholic citizen, for- tified to resist temptation. For these weighty reasons the preacher express- ed the hope that the children of the parish of school age would be at the church to begin the term punetually Wednesday morning; and he made plain to parents their responsibility in this metter of seeing to it that their children’s ‘souls, as well a8 minds, were developed along lines which con stitute what is thes system of perfect education, in which the spiritual is not neglected for the purely material and mental. STUDENT RECRUITING STATION AT THE FAIR At fifteen fairs in the state, the Connecticut Agricultural coilege will open a student recruiting stations for the purpose of personally presenting to parents and prospective students the war departmeént’s plan for enlist- ing young men in the Studemts’ Army Training corps. This enlistment drive will be particularlly directed at able- bodied high school graduates who are below draft age. Representatives of the college facuity will start on Labor Day for the fairs at Charter Oak, Norwich, Goshen, to explain the gov- ernment’s plan for training young men as future officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers of special ser- vice. The campaign will be conducted, not solely for the purpose of attracting students to the state college, but with the broader aim of urging them to en- ter any school, college, university, or other educational imstitution at which a unit of the Student Army Train- ing corps has been authorized. Charles L. Beach, president of the college is authorized for the statement that enlistment in a eollege training unit does not in any way exempt a young man from subsequent service under the draft, but on the contrary especially fits him for some particular job. President Beach said he had been correctly quoted as saying that a col- lege education does not train men to run away from a fight.- but to run in- to it. In view of this attitude, it is easy to understand the president’s in- structions to faculty members not to encourage any young man to ga to college who is hoping thereby to evade the operation of the selective service act. Young men must either study or fight. ent time is doinz similar- work in} Tn connection with joint exhibits of Maine, covering three counties: as|the Food Administration. the food de- Emergency Home Decmonstration | partment of the State Council of De- agent. fonse, and the Agricultural college, the farm bureaus have arranged for information booths that will be made headquarters for reeruiting stations where first hand information can be obtained concerning enlistment in an army training corps.
