The old city hall that stood on the site of the present building was class ed as a magnificent building at the time of it's erection but it was as a barn in comparison with a mansion when the present structure is taken into consideration. But it should be borne in mind that the cost of the old building, including the site, was only $40,000. In this connection, by way of a change in public spirit, the following from the New London Morning News of September 10. 1S45, and published by J. Guy Dolbeare in the office of the Peoples Advocate, will be of special interest:
 An adjourned meeting of the mayor, aldermen and common council, held in the mayors office. Monday evening. The vote passed at a recent town meeting, requesting the city officers to remove the engine house at the foot of State street, came before the board, and they voted not to re- move them. The following votes were also passed:

GIRLS! CLEAN AND BEAUTIFY HAIR
 NO DANDRUFF--25 GENT DANDERINE

Besides beautifying the hair, one ap- plication of Danderine dissolves every particle of dandruff; invigorates the scalp, stopping itching and falling hair.
 Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roots, invigorates and strengthens them. Its exhiIarating, stimulating ard life-p pro- ducing properties cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful.
 You can surely have pretty, soft lustrous hair, and lots of it, if you will just get a 25 cent bottle of knowlton' S Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter and try 1t as directed.

 Authorized liquor dealers declare that not only are the proPrietors of these dance halls and the kitchen bar rooms permitted to violate the law, to the general detriment of legalized dealers, but that there are club rooms galore where intoxicating drinks are sold at almost any time of day or night to almost anybody that has the price. They add that there are also licensed places where liquors are sold at forbidden times, ana cnaI 1t is about time that the law-abiding liquor dealers were given protection, but not of the same kind that is alleged to be meted out to violators of the law. While these matters have not come under the personal observation of the writer, the information is Sleaned from some who visit these illegal places and even they wonder how under the sun the places are permitted to continue and without the slightest interference from the police authori- ties. It is about time to call a halt.

GERMAN FORTRESS
OF TSINGTAU FALLS

Toxic, Nov. 1T is announced Of
fcially that the German fortress of
Tsingtau has surrendered to the Jap
anese and British forces.
The fall Of Tsingtau ends the most
picturesque of the inner phases Of the
great world war now raging on two
continents.
The capture of Tsingtau loses to
Germany her last foot Of possessions
on the Asiatic mainland as we'll as her
last strategic position outside of the
German empire in Europe.
For nearly three months the little
German garrison, amounting to about
1000 men and nearly wholly composed
OF reservists who were living or doing
business in China, has held out
against the land and sea attacks of
the Japanese and certain British de-
tachments of both white and Indian
troops that found themselves in China
at the outbreak Of the war.
What the losses Of the garrison have
been are not known, but the official
japanese and British reports have in
dicated that Tsingtau has been taken
at heavy cost Of men on the part of
the allies.

AMERICAN MARINES
LAND AT ACAPULCO

Mexico City, Nov. 10.-1t is reported
here that the port of Acapulco on the
Pacific has been occupied by Amer
lean marines. The occupation is said
to have followed a request of the in
habitants, who were suffering great
privations owing to the revolution.
Washington, Nov. 10.-Navy depart
ment officials suggested that an eX-
PLANTATION of the report that American
marines had been landed at Acapulco
might be found in the landing of food
supplies from a naval vessel dispatch
ed there to relieve famine conditions
through Red Cross officials in San
Francisco.
No official report either of the land
ing of marines or the arrival of the
vessel with food supplies, however,
had been received here.
Administration officials admitted
that the Mexican situation has as
sun1ed a delicate aspect.

The British cruiser Monmouth,
