And in spite of evvery thing that can be dun he clings affectionately to his job. Early in the game MT.

CARNEGIE OFFERS
 BRAND NEW HYMN

New York, January 7.-Andrew Carnegie has found a hymn of international peace that he prefers to America" The me- tre is the same, but although he pre- fers the new words he does not urge them as a substitute. Several thousand copies of the hymn were distributed today by MT. Carnegie among those interested in the peace movement. It was written by Prof. George Hunt ington, librarian at Carleton college, Northfleld, Minn., who retired some years ago on a pension from the Carnegie foun- lation. Following arc the lines: Two empires by the. sea,
 Two nations great and free; One anthem raise.
 One race of ancient fame,
 One tongue, one faith, we claim.
 One God, whose glorious name We love and praise. .-. :. .fs sz.t What deeds our fathers wrought, = What battles we have fought, Let fame record.
 Now, vengeful passion cease, Come, victories of peace
 Nor hate, nor pride's caprice, Unsheath the sword
 Though deep the sea, and wide,
 'Twixt realm and realm its tide, Binds strand to strand.
 So be the gulf between Gray coasts and island green,
 With bonds of peace serene, And friendship spanBed.
 Now, may the God above, a Guard the dear land we love, Both east and west.
 Let love more fervent glow, H As peaceful ages go,
 And strength yet stronger grow, Blessing and biest.

Vienna. January 7.-(Special.) )--=Aus- tria,s naval programme is being not with an idea of helping out Germany in any collision she may have with England but solely for the purpose 3f forestalling any attempt Italy may make to dominate the Adriatic and take Trieste. This. statement comes from high sources. While both Italy and Austria are members of the Triple AL liance, and are nominally at least friendssthe feeling is growing here that Rome aspires to be recognized as the mistress of the Adriatic and would well come any shifting of the cards which would give her Trieste. Austria realizes that she must have fleet equal to that of Italy if she is to hold her own. This is the reason for the ambitious super-Dreadnough programme

MONTVILLE ROADS
All Are in Good Shape, or Will eB
Soon

Selectman Chapman states that so
far as he knew the town roads are all
in good repair and that such parts of
the trunk lines as he has been asked to
attend to were also in good condition.
A little work remains to be done on the
roads in the vicinity of Trading Cove,
this being part of the trunk road be-
tween Norwich and New London, but
this will take but a few days and is
mainly concerning the cutters and
sides, of the highway.
Mr.. Chapman visited the new work
on Stony brook this week, and says
Aat SO far as Montville is concerned
there is no cause for complaint. The
work is being prosecuted steadily and
the new road which was agreed upon
at a special meeting of the taxpayers,
has been well advanced and will be
completed in about month. Material
for the road is beilnb obtained to a
large extent from the reservoir and it's
approaches, where 1t has been found
necessary to make about IL blasts
daily. About $50 men are employed in
the work for the reservoir and dam.
