SOLDIERS LOSE IN TUG OF WAR
Third Compsnys Anchor Threw Away Rope Contest With St. Mary's Team Due to Misunderstanding of TimeY MC CA Wins From Fifth Company and Riverview De feats Brainerd and Armstrong.

Through a misunderstanding on khe part Of Rossey, anchor of the Third company's team. the victory in the tug of war contest at the r. M. C.. A. gym on Wednesday, the third night of the series, was awarded to St. Marys team
 against whom the soldiers pulled. It had become noiSed around that the S6l-
 diers and St. Mary's boys were out for
 blood, as neither had lost in the series. and consequently there was a good
 sized crowd of spectators in the gallery

 Crowley and composed of rugged quintette, and the Brainerd 6 Arm
 strong team. somewhat lighter in build
 than the Riverviews. but who put up a
 good sized lead on their opponents at
 the start and althe lgh the Brafnerd &
 Armstrong boys pulled for all they
 were worth, they were unable to get
 the tape over on their side of the line.
 and the Riyerview club won by a mar gin of one inch
 The second contest took place be- tween the r. M. C. A. team and the Fifth company, c. A. c. At the end of the first minute the Y. M. c. A. had a lead of oI1e-liaif iIch. and this was end of the next half minute At the
 close Of the second minute one inch more had been added to their lead, making four in all During the first half of the third minute the soldiers made a grand effort and succeeded in pulling down their lead to 3 1~2 inch ee, but the '. M c. A. boys recovered this loss and were awarded the victory by the judge, having a margin of four inches to their credit.
 Next came the big event of the even- ing, the pull between the Third com pany and St. Mary's T. A. B. team. The
 men took their places with determfua- tion marking every face, and at the
 crack of the pistol they settled down
 to a long hard pull, straining arms,
 legs and backs to the utmost. During the first 30 seconds the tape moved slowly but surely toward the soldiers and they got a lead of one-flalf an inch. At the end of the first minute the lead remained unchanged. Then St Mary.s boys succeeded in pulling the tape back to the even line and they kept it there until the end of the second minute. The soldiers gave d
 mighty heave and got three inches away from their opponents in the next
 30 seconds. Then to the astonishznent
 of all and just as the last half min ute began to tick away, Bossey. an- away the rope and got up from the floor. This brongkt the contest to 3

 view was shared by several of the sol-

RAILRoAD STATIONS RoenEo.
Burglars Got Christmas Package,
 Along tFse Shore Line.

Burglars made a raid on four rail- road stations and express offices along the Shore Line Tuesday night, rifed slot machines. telephone booths, ticket offices and Christmas express pack ages and made a, safe getaway. The stations visited are Lyme B1ackhaiI. East Lyme Nianfic, Waterford and Miilstcne. The total amount of plum der cannot be estimated, because much of it consisted Of the unknown corl- tents Of express packages. The loss of tickets and money Is not believed to be extensive, a1though no detailed report was forthcoming from the agents. There Is no known clue to the identity Of the burglars.
 At the Mantle station the interior had the aspect of having been visited by q cyclone. Gum and chocolate ma. chimes had been smashed open and the pennies in them taken. Enfrance was forced to the Eclzek oface and the contents scattered about. The most damage was done ln the express room, where many Christmas pack ages were broken open. The burglars took what they wanted and threw the remainder in heap on the floor.
 Similar conditions were found ia the other stations. Breaking glass near a window catch and turning the lock was the means used to gain entrance to the buildings. The bur glaries were reported to headquarters in New Haven.

NORWICH CAMP pRoTEsTs
 AGAI..eT SMITH BILL.
Protest Has Been Sent by Sons of Zion to the President and Senators from This State.

TFCfn TIE ShakSs
 Norwich camp of the Order Sons of Zion have sent a protest to President Woodrow Wilson, Senators Brandegee and Mclean and to Representative Bryan F. Mahan against the Iiteracy fest in the new Smith emigration bill now before the senate. In his address here under the auspices Of Norwich camp, Rev. Joseph Self of New York pointed out some of the defects in the bill and said that while the test would without doubt work less hardship on the Jew than on any other nationality, yet because 1t Is inaumane in spirit and un-American in tradition the bill should be opposed and all done within their power to secure it's defeat. To this end the action of the camp is taken.
 Should the measure become law, it said. to a large number of desirahle eTmigTants who would seek refuge in our land of the free from political and religious persecution
 The Smith bill provides for a new class of aliens fo be excluded hereto fore undiscovered. described as per sons Of constitutional psychopathic in- feriority," very vague description, to be sure. and will be enforced with great difficulty.
 A resolution was unanimously car ried protecting against the passage of the bill. known as S2453. HR6060, and requestiug the senators to use every legitimate means at their command to bring about the defeat Of this otjec- tionabIe measure.
 4 copy of these resolutions was for wAraed to the senators and to the president.
 The Norwich camp last year pro- tested vigorously against the Burrefl measure. A similar bill was vetoed h-, ex-Presfdent Taft.

, not call out stEree minutes" but that he did call out two and one-half h.
 utee, three inches meaning of course that the soldiers had a lead of three inches over St. MaTy's team. No doubt Bosseg understood the words three inches" to be three minutess and so he threw away his rope.
 The captains got together iu con- ference and after some delibef4tiou de- cided that the only way out of the diff dculty was to give the victory to St Mary's team Snd it was so ,announced by the judge through Physical DiTec- tor Nickerson. Michael Kelly, the judge, declined to make any decision until both captains had settled the dis pute 50 their own satisfaction, but he offered the suggestion that the teams pull eye ra9ain. This was favorable to Captain Dennison of the Third com tain John Eiabby of St. Marg's team on the grounds that his team had won 1 the contest fairly. as the rules state that no man can leave his position until time is up, for if he does leave his position it is his teams loss.
 An added attraction was the contest between the Shetucket mill team and Harry Vaughn's team. the former win ming by A large margin. The contest only went a minute and Q half for Vaughn's team were almost pulled o1t of their positions. However. as it was their first time on the board, and the first time they ever pulled together they made fairly good showing. All they need is training to make them an | opposing bunch.

exander, says that an unusually
wide interest is manifested by
Southern teachers, most of whom
realize that the people who go
from the South during the first
two or three years of it's existence
will have an immense advantage in
getting good positions That, be
says, has been true in regard to all
of the real teachers colleges now
operating in the United States,
and to the departments of educa-
tion in the state universities.
There have just been completed
at Peabody two of the handsomest
and best arranged school build
ings in the South, and they will
be used for the first time at this
summer session. The buildings
are located on large, beautifully
shaded campus.

Fair Play for the Jews.

Complaint is made that the Jews
are getting control of everything in
the country. For example, in the
last thirty years they have swept
all others aside, and today prac-
tically monopolize the clothing of
100000 Americans. The Jews
have likewise gained control of the
big department stores, the whiskey
trade and the theatres, it is said,
"What will Americans control
thirty years from now?" some one
asks. If the Jews have won this
success, it is because of their su-
perior intellectual ability and tre-
mendous powers of application.
When a Jew has acquired prop
erty and is in position to enjoy the
luxuries of life, there is no more
liberal spenders. Until that time
comes there is no one so ready to
deny himself the little comforts of
life, plodding along uncomplain-
ingly for years until fortune smiles
upon him. Nor do the children
simply squander what their pa
rents have earned. The boys are
trained to take up the work their
parents have started, and carry
