SOLDIERS BRING BACK GODLESS FOREIGN ATMOSPHERE. Some say that evil days are in store for Tangier, and they speak with hor- ror of the “influence of Godless France." They say that this evil in- fluence has been brought back by soldiers, Gest la guerre! Boys who grew up they should in the grave companionship of the elders and oys- ters, making Tangier safe for Meth- odism, eagerly answered the louder call to make the world safe for democ- racy—and what a difference when they come back!

As yet there Is no ordinance against the use of the French language by former soldiers, and there is some doubt as to whetlfer such an ordi- nance will be passed, for there is real fear of the effect of the soldier vote at the approaching election.

Generally there is no need for such institu- tion, for the law is so strong that it is seldom broken, and when it is broken, as Roland Parks broke. it by sitting on the porch on Sunday, the thing needed was not a jail but a hospital. Some of those who say they don’t blame Charles Connorton, the police- man who shot Parkas, call attention to the fact that he has very few offi- cial duties to perform, and say that any officer ts likely to get excited and lose his head if he has to act oniy once or twice a year In his official capacity. ney way, too, that when Connor- ton tried to arrest Parks it was the first rebellion he had» ebcountered in two or three years; in fact, the first arrest since the time Tom Boyl a foreigner to Tangter, was jug or! @ peculiar violation of the old liquor law of Virginia. ‘Tom, the story had brought two quarts from Itimore and he wanted to go to Tangier, Tangier is a part of Virginia and the Virginia law prescribed that only one quart could be brought in at one time by one person, and that this quart should be carried openty in the hand where everybody could see exactly what it was. ‘Tom had almost finished one of his quarts when the boat approached ‘Tangier. He was a bold man, and he stood in view of everybody when he poured down his throat the rest of the nearly empty bottle, then stepped ashore with the full one in his hand.| Policeman Connorton at onte arrest- ed him, admitting that there was only a quart in the bottle but insist- ing that Tom was carrying some more inside of him, in violation of the sovreignty of the State of Vir- ginia, Tangier le an Island about thre miles long and a mile wide, but the Inhabited part of it is a narraw strip along the west shore with a on in Dublin During Demonstration for Hungry Sinn Feiners ee 18, !
