Government competition with private- Iy owned ships is what this government bas long been endeavoring to accom- pitish. We are unfortunately saddled with & large number of ships, many of which are idle, becanse of the situation resulting from the expepsive construc- tion policy’ thet was necessitated by the war and the demands of the times. Disposing of the ships in such a way that they will continue to be a part of the American merchant marine is the sim of the government, but it is about s dificnlt, as was the effort to supply ships at a short notice. Where we lacked ships during the war we have more than we know what to do with the present time. . When however there ave ten ships withdrawn by the emergency fleet cor- soration frem the service between this tountry apd Hamburg and Bremen it gives further evidence concerning the fgovernment's policy. Theso vessels have Jeen operatea in competition with pri- ratsly owned American vessels.

The situation has gotten so much at- tention however that the state chamber of commerce has considered it advis- able to lend its influence and it is en- gaged in raising the necessary funds to put through the investigation. This means that the expemses which should be paid by the state is being collected from private sources when most com- monwealths would deplore such a situa- tion only second to the commission of such a crime within its borders. Naturally more than the state of| illinois is concerned in the outcome of the hearings which are now underway before the county grand jury. That in- fluence which has been so successful in submerging efforts to bring the guilty to punishment can be expected to make its presence manifest, and it remains to be seen what independence will be shown in a country which is dominated by those who are in sympathy with the acts that were committed, or at least with those who committed them. The efforts made| to provide the funds for law enforce- ment are to be commended but interest will center in the success thath is ob- tained in trying to obtain justice in a county which is plainly against it EXPECTING THE IMPOSSIBLE. 1t is quite matural that thought should be turned to the ability of the railroals to meet the transportation requirements in conneétion with the effort'to make up for lost time and Production in the distribution of ocoal. There is no justification however ‘n expecting the railroads to do the im- possible. For years it has been urged upon the coal consumers of the country that they should purchase in the spring and have put in their oellars the fuel they are going to need for the coming winter, The purpose of this was to ob- tain it while it was possible to get the greatest benefit of transportation factli- ties and to have a steady distribution of coal undertaken instead of attempt- ing to have an abnormal amount hauled in an unreasonably short time. Thus is was realized that under the best of| conditions there was good reason for mot expecting the impossible from the trans- portation lines, Since the first of April there has been a steady drop in the amount of coal hauled. Bine are empty which ordin- arily were full in antieipation of the coming eoal weather and under normal conditions large stocks of it would be on hand for manufacturing - establish- ments. This shortage is due to the coal strike, By “speeding 1np production where it has been resumed or where it is hoped it will be soon much relief can be given to the situation if transportation s equal to the demands, but it is mot pro- per to expect the railroads to overcome the shortcomings elsewhere. The re- sponsibility for any inability to get coal must rest where it belongs, quite the same as must any handicap over the condition of railroad equipment.

We ain’t aiming to Xeep them long.” 1 wondered whether it was the ghosts or her visitors she didn't “aim” to keep long! ; Two hours later I prepared for bed. I had somewhat overcome my timidity —1 even hummed a few bars of the latest popular song. At last I was ready. Something like a cold chill ran down my spinal column as I hastily blew out my FAMOUS NICKNAMES “OLD BENNINGTON.” The victory of the little band of pa- triots at Bennington, early in the Rev- olutionary war, made John Stark fa-| mous,_and shortly afterwards he was christ?hed “Old ‘Bennington,” first by his soldiers and then by the American colonists generally. At the time of this victory Stark was close to fifty years of age, and had a‘long and distinguished career as an Indian fighter. In carly life Stark was a New Hamp- shire farmer, and several years prior to the Revolution his little band of fron- tiersmen succeeded in driving “the In- dians from the neighborhood, zo that they were no longer troubled with them. Prumptly upon receipt of the news of the battle of Lexington, he mounted his horse and at the head of several hun- jdred of his neighbors set out to join the colonial army at Cambridge. Upon his arrival there he w appointed a colonel, and in ‘one d he organized a regiment of eight hundred hardy back- woodsmen. 2 Then came the memoriable Bunker Hill day. Stark and his men were sta- tioned a few miles away from the scene of this conflict. When he v that the battle was inevitable, he did not wait for orders, but set oout at once for the ground, which he reached just before the conflict hezan. He led his men into { the fight, saying: “Boys, aim at their waistbands !* an order that has begome historical. In the heat ‘of this actian a soldier came to Stark with the report that his son, a youth of 16, had been killed. “This ig not a moment to talk private affairs,’” was the grim rep ‘g0 back to your post” As it proved the Wport wWas false, and voung Stagk wrved as u staff officer during the war. While in his home state in Marc. 1777, engaged in recruiting the ranks #f his ‘regiment, news came of a list of promotions. and his mame was not in- cluded. This injustice he bitterly re- sented and retitgd to his farm. But he was still the patriot and when the information reached him that the ene- my was moving south from Canada, he rushed again to arms, and was at Ben- nington when he learned that a detach- ment of six hundred men, under Col Baum, had been dispatehed by Burgoyne on a foraging expedition in that section. Stark and his men marched out to meet the British and én the 14th of Au- gust, a few miles out of Bennington he drew up his men in the order of bat- tle. On the morning of the 16th Stark prepared for an attack. Before he ad- vanced he addressed his men with that brief but telline address which is so often quoted: “There are the red coats; we must beat them today, or tomight Molly Stark sleeps a widow.” They beat them and Molly had the sat- isfaetion of long enjoying the fame that oame to John. The victory was deci sive. and by a band of raw militia, poorly armed and without diseipline, but by one of the most feariess men: of the Revolution. Of the one thousand Brit- ish soldiers engaged in the fight, not more than a hundred escaped, and it was this victory of “Old Benninglon,” which led ultimately to the surrender of Burgoyne at Saratoga. Col Baum, who | was mortally wounded. said to the proy- incials: “They fonght more Tike hell- hounds than like soldiers” GLEANED FROM FOREIGN| EXCHANGES There will be an increase in the price of cozl Monday, August 21. _On June 19 reductiohs in coal rang- ing from 9s to 3s. 6d4. per ton were announced, and on August 1 an advance of 3s. per ton was made.

Hope you didn't hurt yourself none. That bed’s quite high. I found ‘Ghosts’ (I gasped!) in your room. I've been wondering where he was. I want- ed to put him out before I closed up for the night.” I staggered blindly to my feet and stared blankly at the cat. I had been the “ghost!’ _Boston Post. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The East Entrance to the City. | Mr. Editor:—The people that live on the easterly side of the Shetucket river were very indignant last evening on re- turning home from work, to find a nice new sign erected just across Preston bridge by the Rotary Club, saying, “No; entering the Rose of New England — Norwich.” It looks as though the people that re- side on the easterly side of the Shetuc- ket river are no longer residents of Nor- wich, although they still pay taxes and are offered public protection, water ser- vice and, etc, by the ecity of Norwich. The residents feel that this sign should be crected not nearer than the top or Fox's Hill. The sign for the Willimantic entrance has been located at the Yantic railroad crossing which is very far out of the city limits. The people of the community without 2 name would like to see this sign erected at the top of Fox's Hiil. < Hoping this will soon be remedied, we remain residents of Norwich. AN EASTSIDER. Norwich, August 29, 1932. Bold Faced Criticism. Mr. Editor:—Just a word about the letters of recent «date in The Builetin, relative to the Judge Potter case. It seems as though Mr, Potter’s dry friends would like his blood. Why not procure a set of blood hounds, and run him down to death. And of all Mrs. F. J. W. o personal in her remarks in yester- ay's Bulletin. Now all will agree the law must be abided by, and so does Judge Potter. Mr. Potter as we read was tried. and not found guilty. Again the jury has been critized through open letters in The Bulletin. No jury can con- viet any man without sufficient evidenze and we all know the jury did not find sufficient eyidence to conviet Mr. Potter. We ask is it not rather far-reaching Lo Tun into Sucif abuse of an American citi- zen as has been expressed through open letters in The Bulletin. Judge Potter shows himself 2 man to hold his charge, and it is a weakness on the part of the dries to use so much bold faced eriticism. Let them all remember they ‘are not holding up the prohibition cause by a voice of the peeple, and only a faction thereof. Again let's repeat Lincoln’s words “You can fool all of the people half of the time, but not all of the time. We wish to say we never heard of Judge Potter until we saw his name in print. A FELLOW CITIZEN. Gales Ferry, Ang. 29, 1922. IN THE PUBLIC EYE George W. P, Hunt, who is seeking the democratic nomination for governor. of Arizona, has already had experience in the gubernatorial office, since he was the first governmor _of Arizéna after its admission to statghood. Mr. Hunt is a native of Missouri who, in his youth, found his way to the territory of Ariz- ona, and for a time roamed its plains as a ranch owner and cattle raiser. Then he turned to store-keeping, became well- to-do, .organized and managed a large trading company at Globe, and in the course of time wcy sent tojthe'tesritorial legislature, aiding in shaping the first State Constitution, and became the first governor under the new form of gov- ernment. He revealed, as . gavernor, many syme#itiiies with the people that are often hidden by exeeutives in high political office, and stood for a human- itarian conception of statecrafy, pen- ology, and. industrial management. Near the close of the Wilson administration Mr. Hunt was appointed minister to Siam, from which post he only recent- Iy retired. - Today’s Anniversaries | 1744—John Hodston, governor of Georgia _during the Reyolution, born in St. Geerge parish, Ga.
