Stanley Blicg, is the story, well and graphica told, of what was done by the First (ser- vice) battalion, Royal Guernsey Light in- fantry, in the great war. It is a detailed, authentic narrative of one thousand out of seven thousand who went from Guern- sey alone “. . . . the oldest and smallest democracy in'the world,” to fight side Ly side with the mother country’s troops. Mr.4Blicq joined it in 1914, served on the brigade staff in Flandets and ended up in hospital, from which he was released some 15 months ago. The Norman Ten Hundred has now had favorable notices from The Times, West- minster Gazette, The Bookman, from the Editor Bornhill Magazine, Evening Interest attaches to the above from the fact that the author is a cousin of Neville Blieq of Rockwell street, this city.

They were accused of unloading passengers in Franklin square, whigh is in the zone from which the new ordinances bar pub- lic service cars from taking on or unload- ing passengers. The men were driving their cars at the time with private num- bers on them instead of the PS numbers. After they had been brqught te police headquarters they gave bail of $50 for their appearance in court. About 11 o'clock Sunday / night, two Norwich men, Louis Mintz, 33, and Ben- ny Mandell 29, got into a fight on Main street near Franklin square and were arrested by Officer Daniel J. O'Neil: Mr. Mintz was clawed all over the face in the “encounter and was dripping = with blood from the many scratches when he appeared at police headguarters. Man- ——— The. fight took place a little along the street towards Shamnon corner and the policeman was attracted to it by hearing the shouts of MintZ-as he ran around looking for Mandell who h broken away from him, climbed is mo\ma and driven away. The officer where they gave baik Mintz visited & doctor to have his hurts attended to and later appeared with his face swathed in bandages and plaster. Several other cases called for police tention Satmrday night and Sunday and will provide business for the police court this (Monday) morning.

Two other men, one of them a sailor, were arrested for intoxication Saturday et al, vs. Paul Massey, argument for more specific statement to separa- pleadings or- dell also showed some marks of thé en- counter. The trouble started on the side- walk near the head of Rose alley in a wordy argument. 5 Mr. Mintz, according to the report, in- vited the other man to fight it out. “I'Il fight you, if you won't scratch,” Man- dell's answer was reported to have been. “I won't scratch, but I'll kick,” was the answer that Mintz is said to have re- turned before they came to blows. FORMER GREENEVILLE MEN SAYS AUSTRIA IS STARVING Austria’s plight on account of the war is terrible and pitiable, accarding to James B. Moody, Jr., a forme- Greene- ville young man, who is now azency superintendent of a well known New England life insurance companv und has |1ust returned from a trip to France, Ger- many, Austria and Switzerland. 1Over one third of the population cf Aus- ]tria. he is quoted as saying in an inter- view in Hartfard, is arowded int> Vien- na which is a starving eity. Mere than a million of its people are hungry today. One-half a million in Vienna are in em- ployment. Ninety-six per cent. of the: children’ are underfed. “Austria travels in a vieious cirele.

Kellogg appear- ed before the board of fmance last week on the estimates for the board for the coming two years. The board asked for an_appropriation of $90,000, which is al- most three times the amount of its appro- priations l’(" the eurrent fiscal period, of two years. At the session of 1919 the legislature | appropriated $27,000 for the work of the board, and since then the board of con- trol has supplemented this by a sum which brings the total amount allowed the state board of charities up to $31,000.

BEGINS PICTURE SERIES FOR SUNDAY MEETINGS The first of a series of moving pictures proved a pleasing suecess at the loeal Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon, when a two reel picture on “The Modern Ruth” was shown. After the epening songs and prayer, ‘the first reel was shown, which || told the stcry of a beautiful American girl, ministering to the war orphans of France, and when she with other nurses had decided to leave there for America and had said their good-byes, the pull at her heart strings was so strong that she decided to stay with the French orphans. The second reel illustrated the Bible story of Ruth; how she clune to Naomi, thought the latter urged har for her own sake to return to her own peopls, but Ruth steadfastly refused to leave Naomi, and went with her back to Jerusalem and as a means of support for herself and Naomi (for they were very poor) gleaned in the fields, and while gieaning Boax, the owner of the fertile fields, was attracted to her because of her purity and beauty, and finally they were married. The whole story was impressive, and the passionate love of Ruth for Naomi was the outstand- ing .point-of the picture story. A brief talk was given by General Secretary , who said among other thin; the secret of Ruth's great- ness was not in her beauty, though she s beautiful, but it was in her devoted love which was shown in the sacri service she rendered to Naomi. George Washington was not great because he vas president simply, but because of what he was in real service to our be- loved America; Lincoln was not great simply because he happened to be pres- because was the will to follow even to his death “the lead of love which meant a life spent in genuine service to mankind. So Jesus Christ was great because _he served the race with a full heart of love, and in thus serving, he went to the cross. So may any man be great, in God's sight ; by serving in tne name and Spirit of the Christ; and by loving Him we will learn to love and serve humanity. HOLIDAY FUND FOR TUBERCULOSIS SANATORIUM Three years ago a holiday fund was started for the benefit of the patients of the Norwich Tuberculosis Sanatorium. Each succeeding vear. through the gen- erous cooperation of the merchants and other business men and the people of Norwich a substantial sum has been given, which has been judiciously used, | to bring cheer, comfort and personal needs not provided through other sources at Christmas and throughout the year, furnishing special entertainments om Washington's birthday St. Patrick's day, Easter, Decoration-day, Fourth of July and Hallowe'en and all birthdays remem- bered.

Ceit of New London ‘nds {o protest the probating of the will of the late judge. When the wil was presented in the probate court by the judge's secretary, Miss Ethel van Lin- ychooten, to whom was bequeathed a large portion of the estate, a date was set for the hearing farther ahead than wsual in order that notification could be received by Mrs. Coit, who was In Spain, where she has resided for some years. The date of the hearing was set for Det. 27. A cablegram was received from Mrs. Coit, sent from Switzerland, asking that the probating of the will be deferred pending her arrival. This was sent sev- eral weeks ago and it is understood that Mrs. Coit is on her way to New Londen at the present time and may arrive any day. In view of Mrs. Coit's journey from Spain to New London and her request to delay the hearing until she shall reach here, it is believed that she intends te protést against the division of the estate as prescribed by the testator.
