Y. NJ. c. A.

The time is rapidly approaching
when the boys will be off for the
County Y. NJ. c. A. camp, at Rock
Lake. A number of the boys have en-
rolled and large number have eX-
pressed a desire to attend. There lis
still plenty Of room and boys may en-
roll up to the last. However, it is very
desirable that boys should enroll just
as soon as possible. They should be
in by July % at least.
The leaders have all been secured,
and nearly all the equipment is ar
ranged for. Everything is favorable
for a record camp.
The dates are fixed for August l to
s, to favor farm boys and boys who
must earn their fee of four dollars.
Any boy from II to 16 may go by
sending one dollar of the four to F. R.
Baylis, Ithaca, the balance of three
dollars to be paid at the camp.
Additional information may be had
by asking any of the following camp
leaders: Coach Bleamaster, of Alma;
Leon Grey and Earl Gutherie, of
Breckenridge, Austin Pine and Paul
Bebee, of Ithaca.
The prize for the best essay on the
subject, "Why a Boy Should Go to
Camp" was won by Dale Van Duzen,
of Breckenridge. He will be given the
trip to the camp free of charge except
railroad fare.

No More Intoxicants in American
Navy. ---~-.-.-..

Hon. Josephus Daniels, Secretary
of the Navy, came to the conclusion
few months ago, that alcohol is as bad
for the officer as for the enlisted man.
July /, 1914, the following went into
effect: "The use or introduction for
drinking purposes of alcoholic liquors
on board any naval vessel or within
any navy yard or station is stictly
prohibited, and commanding officers
will be held directly responsible for
the enforcement of this order"
Mr.. Daniels said "The saddest
hour in my official life is when an Off
Ger or enlisted man must be punished
for intoxication. During the past
week it has been my painful duty to
approve court martial for dismissal
from the service of an officer for in
toxication. He told me he had never
tasted intoxicants until he did so in
the wine mess on the cruise. Others
who have been disciplined for drinking
to excess have made similar state
ments to me-"
Mr.. Daniels says he does not be-
lieve the government has the right to
permit the temptation which destroys
the highest usefulness of young Off
GERS, who may now be commissioned
at the age of twenty-five.

The college professors are discours-
ing multitudinously and interestingly
about the great war. Yale s veteran
professor of history, Arthur NJ. Wheel
er, is in a prophetic mood. He believes
that the Asiatic people are about to
throw off European nominations, that
not only viii Germany lose her Chinese
colony, but that India will soon escape
from British rule, which he thinks will
be greatly to the advantage of both
India and England. He expects to see
Japan give Kiau-chau back to China
after taking it from Germany, and
then to form a combination with China
and India. He SAYS: ''The entire re-
lations between the East and the West
will be changed. The powers that at
present have foOtholds in China will be
driven out and all hope of partition
of Chinese territory will vanish. The
union will probably be a peaceful one;
it will commit no encrOachments on
western territory, but will put an end
to the plundering of Chinese territory
and to the continuance of British rule
in India" He takes a long look ahead:
IF you and l could visit the world 800
years from now he continues, eve
would look in vain for the British En-
pire, the American Republic or the
German Empire All will have vanish

Friday was warmer than has been the case for some days past, but the presence of a strong wind made the day very disagreea.ble, and there were few on the streets in the afternoon. 1t appeared to be one of the worst Friday afternoons for business in some time.
 A large sign on the Hotel Hooker was blown down by the severe wind and broken. The big gate at the en- trance to the WilliInantic Lumber and Coal company's yard was blown from it's hinges, and struck one of the com pany's employees as it fell. Although he was not seriously injured, the blow rendered him nearly unconscious,
 Some objection has been heard in regard to the proposed ordinance in regard to traffic rules, which will take effect in the usual course on Tues day, November A. The objections seem to come either from these who will be personally effected by it's pro- visions, or from owners and drivers of teams, who think some of the rules a little hard on them. There is al- ways, however, some fault finding with g. new ordinance, and every ef- fort was made by the common coun- ciI to be fair in drafting the law, which will not inflict any great hard ships, and will certainly help in the prevention of accidents if properly en- forced
