MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, ProteststoSelectmenOver TrolleyFares Sines it was amnnoumqed that the towns of Norwich and Sprague, through their selectmen, were to pro- test the most recent raise in the trol- ley fares of the Shore Line Electric Railway Company and that the pub- lic utilities commission was to give a hearing on their petition here at 930 o'clock Tuesday morning this week, the selectment of these two towns say that they have been delug- ed with questidns by people of these towns conesrning the fares. It is expected. that there will be a large atténdance at the hearing and thé prospects are that it may be a lively session. The petitioning towns are to be répresénted by Attorneys Jo- seph T.

C. is "con- fined to students graduated from a standard four vear secondary school or having cquivalent education quali- fications.” As the courses to be give en in the 8. A. T. C. are prescribed by the War Board and are not the usual -courses pursuéd in the college, | éntrance requirenmtents to the 8. A. T. C. are satiefled if the student is a graduate of any standard secondary, sehool. However, this course does not lead to a degree, for “in view of the comparatively short time dquring which most of the student soldiers will re- main in college and the exacting mili- fary duties awaiting them, academic instruction must necessarily be mod- ified along lines of direct military value.” As soon s possible after registra- tion day, Scptember 12th, 1818, stu- dents eightsén years ofi age and old- er at the college will be givén the op- portunity of voluntary induction into the Students’ Army Training corps. The student by voluntary induction becomes a soldier in the TUnited ‘States Army, uniformed, Subject to military discipline, ¢nd with the pay of a ptivate. Officers, uniforms, rifles and such other equipment as may be available will be furnished by the war department. In view of the fact that theé student soldiers will be on acti#e duty status from the time they are inducted, the government will as- sume the expense of housing, sub- sistence, and instruction of the stu- dents. 'They will bé given military instruction under the officers of the army and will be kept under obser- vafion and test to determine their qualifications as officer-candidates and technieal experts, such as engin- eers, chemists and doctors. It can- not be definitely stated how long a student will remain at the college. This will depend on the requirements of the mobilization and the age group to which the student belongs. Students must pay their own ex- penses from their registration in the college on Sept. Z5th to Oct. 1st, for in order to be accepted in the S. A, T. C. ‘they ‘must first be enrolled as college students. In addition to the course prescribed by the war department the regular classical course will be continued for students under eighteen years of age, or fo rthose who may not be admitted to the S. A. T, C. However, those who Wwish to enter the classical course must meet the usual requirements, as spe- cified in the catalogue. Rev. James A. Mullen, 8. J., dean, is in charge of the new extension de- partment. STATE GUARDS TOOK AUTOMOBILISTS’ NUMBERS | Very few automobiles were out Sun- day in tkis eection of the state, and imost of those were on legitimate busi- | ness. The State guards were stationed at two points on the New London- Norwich turnpike. Two guards were stationed at Txaging Cove and two at Quaker Hill. All motor vehicles were stopped by the guards and each driver | of the machine was required to show his license and give his reason for be- ing on the road with his machine. His name, operator’s license, number and registration number were taken, no | matter what his reasons were. Some {of the people were glad to stop and give the desired information. while| jothers were rather peeved and some jeven tried to tun by the guards with- out stopping. One guard that had been stationed at Quaker Hill all day said that he had taken only about 40 numbers up to 5 o’clock Sunday after- noon. LIEUT.

Burpee of the First regi- ment, Connecticut State Guard, lauds the efficiency of his men and spurs | them to stiil better work. He calls on commanders of companies to aid in the local war labor in their home | stations. * He adds bayonet and riot afll fo" the curriculum. Following is the paper: Headquarters First Military District, Connecticut .Home Guard. Hartford, Conn., Sept. 12, 1918. Circular No. 1. -~ 1. The enthusiasm which marks the opening - of the drill season confirms the prophecy of the most optimistic. The high standdrd set has been wui- tained, so that today we boast for the companies as'a whole, troops not only zealous but well trained. Now devote energy to maintaining that standard. (a) Changes in personnel need not be excessive. Net -loss through the draft is not -likely to be heavy, for two reasons: First, older men, men ir responsible poésitions and men with families are not likely to be taken in large numbers and, second, men at resent outside the ranks will see the mportance of “joining up.” “Wear the uniform over there or here” will be the sentiment, and more men than ever—unless we mistake the charac- ter of the Connecticut citizen—will welcome the opportunity the State Guard furnishes. (b) The loss of men into associate branches of war work,.federalized but civilian, should be only nominal, sinca a moment’s reflection shows that the state's and the country's requirément is that suth an institution as this “Take plain - bitrogphosphate” is the advice of physicians to thin, delicate nervous people who lack vim, ene! and nerve force. and there seems to be ample proof of the efficacy of this prep- aration to warrant the recommenda- tion. Moreover, if we judge from the countless preparations and treatments whicl are continually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshly, developing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly ' feel their: extessive thinness. Thinness and’ weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our hodies need Frederick 8. Kolle, M.

Nathanjel Babcock Williams, a life- long and highly respected resident of | Lebanon, and the oldest man in the town, died on_Saturday at his home, “Buckingham Place,” at the age of 96. Mr. Williams was the second child of Heary and Harriet (Babcock) Wil- liams. He was the seventh generation from Robert Williams of Roxbury, England, and was born in Lebanof on May 22, 1822. He had an older sister, Harriet Cornelia, and a younger sister, Angeline, afterward Mrs. George E. Hewitt. He attended the old-time dis- trict schcol, a boy¥' boarding school in Goshen Society, Lebanon, Lebanon | academy, Bacon academy, Suffield Literary institute and West- field academy. Mass. May 1st, 1845, he married Miss Jane Elizabeth Parker, daughter of Linusj and Sophia (Churchill) Parker, of| Pittsfield, Mass. Rev. Mr. Kingsbury | officiated. His first home, after marriage. was at the Tisdale place, afterward Grove place, Phelps Hill, Lebanon. It was where ' “Master” Nathan Tisdale. and his brother Elkanah, the artist, once resided. While he desired to study law, agree- able to his father’'s wishes, he followed farming until 1869, the year after his father’'s decease, and also dealt in live stock, purchased at the Brighton mar- ket. Mass In politics, he was at first a2 whig, and cast his first vote for Henry Clay, but later he became a republican. He was very active “m aiding refugees from slavery to Canada and had some thrilling experiences along that line. Repeatedly he was school committee, assessor, chairman of the board of se- lectmen and held other minor offices. He united with the First Congrega- tional church of Lebanon in 1851, when Rev. John C. Nichols was pastor, at which time Rev. Charles O. Reynolds was preaching at the Brick church, and his wife fas received by letter at the same time, having been a member of Rev. John Todd's church, the first Congregational church organized in Coichester, Pittsfield, Mass. Mr. Williams served as Sunday school superintendent for near!y 20 years. He was a life member of the New London County Fair association and director for several years in the Uncas National bank. He was representative to the state| legislature of Connecticut in 1882 and | was a member of an important com- | mittee on railroads. i During his term in legisiature he| introduced a hill requiring temperance instruction in the publi¢ schools. This | idea was formulated in the mind of the; late Rev. H. 1. Reade of Jewett City.| Conn. THE bill became a law «in spite | of stronz opposition. Other states! passed similar laws but Connecticut was the first to enact such by legisla- | ture. His home from 1869 until his de- cease was “Buckingham Place,” Leba- non, Conn., the birthplace of our, Civil war governor, William A. Bucking- ham. As years closed in he was anxious “to go hence,” and often expressed his ablding faith that it is “better further on.” He wanted his last message sounded abroad: “Be ve also ready.” His wife died April 23, 1903. He leaves two daughters, Mrs, Ellen C. Williams Livermore, wife of the late Rev. L. BE. Livermore, of Independence, N. Y., and Mrs. Mary S. Williams Throop, wife of Sands Williams Throop. There is none remaining to! perpetuate his branch of the Williams family, in name. Mrs. Fernando Wheeler, (Contributed.) Mrs. Josie E. Avery, wife of Fer- nando Wheeler, who died Sunday.
