COM. eENNETT's STATEMENT.
Just How Department Stands Con cernins Construction of Road From Reynolds Street North.


 The following letter from State Highway Commissioner c. J. Bennett will set at rest the various misur Ter standings thata have arisen as to propositions for doing state road work in the Borough of Danielson:.
 April ', 1914. N. D. Prince, President, ;,
 Danielson Business Mems
 Association,
 Danielson, Conn.
 Dear Sir: My attention has been called to an article ii the Norwich Bulletin of Tuesday, Tpril ', wkich in dicates that there is considerable, misunderstanding in Danielson as to the intention of the Highway depart ment in tho construction of the road leading from Reynolds street north to the Borough line.
 Permit me to call your attention to the following facts in this connec- tion:a
 First: Thatsthe road itself. if built. must be built out of the State Aid fund and in that even the road al ready designated to be extended to- ward Providence cannot be so extend ed.
 Second: My Letter of March 31, ex- pressly states that there can De no modification in the original proposi- tion made with the sa1ectmen under date of March 24, which provides fer the paving only of the road from Five Mile River Bridge to Reynolds street and does not include any portion Of the road from Reynolds street to the Borough line.
 In my letter of March 31, you will find the statement that "rhere is no hard and fast rule made for the laying down of permanent pavement before construction of under ground pipes This is a general statement and does not apply specifically to Danielson, fn,- dnf in formation that I could not consent to the construction of any road within the Borough limits of Danielson unless the underground structures were buitl before the road.
 The construction of the road, there fore. from Reynolds street to the Borough line would necessitate,
 First: A provision for the con- struction of a sewer in this section of the road and also the construction Of other underground structures which might be necessary, and,
 Second: The transfer of the State Aid appropriation from the trunk lins leading toward Providence to the trunk line from Reynolds street to the Borough line.
 Yours truly,
 C. J. BENNETT,
 State Highway Commissioner.

Fierce Attack on Antwerp,

London. Oct. S.-While the immense
armies of the belligerent powers of
Europe are engaged in a death grap-
pie along lines hundreds of miles in
extent in battles which, for the num-
bers engaged, fierceness and stub
bornness, have no precedent in his
tory, the intrepid little army of Bel
gium is making last stand behind
the forts of Antwerp, one of the
strongest fortified positions in the
world.
For the moment, at least the strug-
gle around the chief port of Bel
gium attracts the most attention, for
the result of the engagement here
must have a considerable effect on
the bigger battle between the Anglo
French and German forces which now
extend from the Swiss frontier across
France, almost to the North Sea.

Battle Line Extends North.

London, Oct. 9.-The military fort

allies cavalry, are being rapidly made
or marred within sight of the North

ing movements, the accomplishment
of which for so long has been the su-
preme goal of the rival generals.
The storm center gradually has eX-
tended northward. The battle of

ress of Antwerp now prey to Ger

Boston Wins Second Game.

Philadelphia, October 1O.-In a
pitchers battle, with a dramatic eli
max usually reserved for baseball fic-
tion, the Boston Nationals defeated
the Philadelphia Americans here to.
day in the second game of the worlds
series, by score of l to 0. AS a re-
suit of the victory the Braves left for
Boston tonight with two game lead
over the Athletics, and the added ad-
vantage of playing the next two con-
tests on their home grounds when the
series is resumed on Monday.
Although the American league rep.
resentatives were forced to bow, for
the second time in two days, to the
superior play of their National league
rivals, they offered far more deter
mined opposition than was the case
on Friday. From eight innings the two
clubs battled behind the pitching of
James and Plank without the semb-
blance of an advantage. Then came
the break in the game and once again
the Mackman saw another worlds Sc
ries contest slip from their clutches
to the credit of the Stalling's clan.

Police Grated Pickpockets.

Chicago, Oct. "details of the Or
ganization of a pickpocket trust, its
alleged affiliation with certain police
men, list of more than so saloons
said to be recognized as headquarters
for pickpockets. and list of hun
dred men known to be professional
pickpockets, were given to the city
council crime commission today by
Edward w. Altz, an Investigator en-
ployed by the commission.
So keen were the police at one
prominent downtown corner for their
daily share of the pickpocket profits,
according to Altz's report, that the
regular thieves who worked on the
corner were not permitted to take a
few days off to work the state fair
until they had arranged to put subs
to work.

British Were At Antwerp.

London, Oct. 1.-THE first official
admission that the British participat-
ed in the defense of Antwerp is con-
tainet in an admiralty announcement
that three British brigades with heavy
guns had been sent there during the
last week of the German attack.
The announcement adds that in the
retreat from Antwerp two British reg
iments reached Ostend in safety. The
other, however, was cut off north of
Lokeren, IL miles northeast of Ghent
and 1000 of the men were interned in
Holland.
The retreat of the Belgium army
was accomplished successfully. The
losses of the British naval brigades
probably will be less than 900 out of
5000 men.

Boston Wins First Game.

Philadelphia, Oct. 9.-The Boston
National league pennant winners easi-
ly ran away with the Philadelphia
Athletics today defeating them by a
score of Z to 1. The Boston team
drove Bender, the Athletics star right
handler from the mound by terrific
hitting, which the Braves pierced to-
gether when hits meant runs. Gowdy
was the hitting star of the Bostons,
getting three safe blows in three times
at bat. One of Gowdy's hits was a
double and another triple, his third
hit being a single.
Rudolph pitched game of first wa
ter for his club, when he held spell
bound by slow balls, which came up
to the plate as big as toy balloon.
The Athletics heaviest hitters could
do nothing with his delivery. The
Boston rooters paraded out of the
grounds after the game, led by a
brass band.
Some $4,000 persons saw the open
ing game of the seven-game series.
Hundreds were turned away. unable
to obtain admission.

Need $4,000 Campaign Fund.

Helena, Oct. 9.-Democrats all over
Montana are being appealed to to
furnish their share of a $4,000 CAM
paign fund which will be necessary
to meet expenses of the democratic
campaign. State Chairman Arthur has
been out over the state for the past
week, appealing to the democrats to
help furnish the sinews for the cam
paign. He has visited Butte, Billings,
Lewistown, Great Falls and number
of other cities in Montana, and his ef-
forts are meeting with success.
1t is estimated by the democratic
state central committee that fund
of $4,000 will be required to meet the
expenses of the campaign, and it is
admitted that the committee is up
against a tough problem. in view of
the fact that there are only four state
candidates this year and of the pro-
visions of the corrupt practice act
which limits the amount a candidate
may devote toward campaign eXpens-
es to 10 per cent of one years salary.

Sues JUDGE For Damages.

Chicago, Oct. 12.-Suit for $4,000
tdamages filed against United States
Judge Kenesaw NJ Lands on Satur-
day, is the result of the 30 DAYS spent
in Jail by Frank Blacklidge, on con-
tempt charge preferred by the fed
eral Judge.
If pressed to trial it would be the
first time in local history, it was said,
that United States Judge was sued
for damages as a result OF one of his
decisions. Blacklidge became involved
in a bankruptcy suit and Judge Lands
accused him of perjury. Blacklidge
bases his claim for damages on al
legged impairment of his health, due
to his stay in Jail, loss of his position
and $2,400, which it is alleged was
involved in the bankruptcy proceed
ings.

FIGHTING IN TRENCHES
British War Correspondent Describes
Field Of BIG Battle.

O''s~' "oS correspondent describes
Field Of Big Battle.
London, Oct. S.-The correspondent
OF the Times at Epernay, France, tel
egraphing under date of Sunday, says:
"The battle of the French rivers
has entered upon its fourth week and
unless some f1anking movement is car
ried through there appears no reason
why the titanic tragedy should not
continue for a long time.
"Now that the perfection of the
German trenches is rivaled by those
OF the allies it has become a struggle
in which one is pitted against an in
visible foe who is never seen until
he springs suddenly from his hiding
place. The countryside along the
Aisne is vast military rabbit war
rem.
"Both sides are resolutely determin-
ed not to give ground. The Germans
are continually delivering attacks and
counter attacks, but the allies are not
making any definite attempt to ad-
vance in this region. They are con-
tent for the time being with beating
back all German attacks and are not
trying to occupy the enemy's trenches.
"The forces of the Germans are

are fresh because they are frequently

the allies stonewall policy is that the
casualties on the allies side have
been very slight recently.

to relieve the men from the strain of

provided and mail is delivered regu-

Grain Contracts For Export.

Spokane, Oct. S.-Buyers for the
United States government have clos
ed contract with the Northern Grain
and Warehouse company of Spokane
for about 100000 worth of oats to be
exported to Uncle Sans foreign pos
sessions. The order calls for total
of 1000 tons with an option Of in
creasing it to $500 tons. The con-
tract requires that delivery be made
during October at the Portland docks.
The entire shipment is being pur-
chased in the Spokane country. The
same company also closed contract
recently for 1000 tons of wheat for
October delivery at Portland. This
was purchased by a London firm to
be exported to the United Kingdom.
The two orders represent about 26O
cars of grain.

Soldiers Need Warm Clothing.

London, Oct. 9.-The possibility of
having to furnish new clothing for the
millions of soldiers in the war may
have to be seriously considered if the
conflict is prolonged through the win
ter. Some of the correspondents are
already reporting that the soldiers
uniforms are beginning to show wear
and tear. 1t used to be believed that
a good uniform should last a cam
paign. That was not the experience
of 1870. In December, 1870, German
soldiers might have been seen plod-
ding through the miry roads in the
depth of winter barefoot, whilst many
had only wooden shoes and linen
trousers. When the tenth corps march
ed into LeMans in January scarcely a
soldier was clothed in the regulation
manner. Civilian garments, even
French red breeches, were common.

GERMANS GRAB ANTWERP
Belgian Defenders Unable To With.
stand Terrific Bombardment,

stand Terrific Bombardment.
London, Oct. 10.-Antwerp and the
forts surrounding that city are now in
possession of the Germans, but the
greater part of the Belgium army has
escaped. 1t took the Germans just II
days to capture the strongest fortress
in the world.
The fall of Antwerp is evidence that
even the most powerful Notifications
are no match for the colossal howit-
zers which the invaders have success
fully employed against every fortified
place that stood in their way. These
huge guns open gaps through which
the besiegers find an entrance for
their field artillery and infantry.
The Germans, after shelling the city
itself for many hours, making it un-
tenable, entered the town through the
surburb of Berchem, to the east. They
had made branch in the outer line
of fortificationes, some of which were
destroyed by their big guns, and 9TH
ers blown up by the defenders. The
Germans followed similar plans in
dealing with the inner belt of fortifi-
cations and at the same time threw
shells into the city which set afire
many places. The inner forts, like
those farther out, soon succumbed to
the enormous shells and on Friday
morning several of these forts had
fallen, opening the way for the Ger
mans into the city. The strategic i'm
portance of Antwerp consisted in it's
menace to the German lines running
through Belgium. Now matters have
been reversed, and the allies will have
to take their turn in keeping forces
before the city to prevent the Ger
mans from Antwerp attacking their
flank or rear, should they be able to
advance. The Germans purpose, ac-
cording to the Berlin reports, is to
use the city as base for operations
against England.
So long as Great Britain COM
mands the sea, no great part of the
German navy can use the port, even
should Germany overrule Hollands S
objection to the use of Scheldt by the
belligerent ships. Germany, it is
thought, may claim that in possession
of the city she acquires Belgium's
right to use the river on equal terms
with the Dutch and will proceed to
build destroyers and submarines there
to menace the British fleet.

Big Crowds For Ball Games.

Philadelphia, Oct. S.-Determined
to witness the first contest of the
worlds championship series between
the Boston Nationals and the Phila-
delphia American league team more
than a score of fans took their posi-
tion in a line outside of the bleacher
entrance to Shibe park last night. 1t
was more than SO hours before the
time set for the opening of the gates
for the initial contest when George
Ross of Camden, N. j., took his place
at the head Of the line. A cold, driz-
zling rain which fell intermittently
during the night made it uncomfor-
table for the prospective purchasers
of bleacher seats. and many of them
sought protection on the porches of
nearby residences.
Hundreds of the reserved seat tick
cts fell into the hands of spectators,
who are asking $35 for set Of three
SIS tickets. The price for set Of 81
seats was $25 and for three 50 tickets
SIS was asked. Several arrests al
ready have been made and the Ath-
letic management announced that
they would prosecute.
Never before, it was said, has there
been such demand for admission to
the big games. Thousands of persons
were unable to purchase tickets and
dissatisfaction with the arrangement
of the sale was heard from many
quarters.

Automobiles Make Protest.

Washington, Oct. 9.-Automobilists
throughout the country are thorough
ly aroused at the evident desire on the
part of certain national legislators
to place upon motor car owners a
large percentage of the amount to be
derived from the war tax measure.
The protest sets forth the unfair
nes of any legislation which singled
out motor cars from the other We
hicles. If gasoline motor cars were
called upon to pay, it was asserted,
all horse-drawn vehicles should be
taxed, frankly admitting that their
mileage is les and the tax should be
accordingly graded.

Boston Looks Like Winner.

Boston, Oct. 12.--In one of the hard
est fought games ever played in a
worlds series, the Boston Braves de-
feated the Philadelphia Athletics at
Fenway Park today, by score of S
to 4. Twelve innings of thrilling
baseball were necessary before the
National league representatives could
record their third consecutive victory
Of the series.
So bitterly was the struggle contest
ed by both teams that, with the possi-
BILE exception of the final game be-
tween the New York Giants and the
Boston Red Sox in 1912, nothing
equalling tcday's play has been re-
corded since the worlds series began
under national commission auspices
in 1910.
Some $4,000 widely enthusiastic
spectators saw the Athletics make
desperate stand on the Boston field
to stave off third defeat, which
would all but end their chances of
winning the worlds championship.
Boston was plain baseball crazy to-
Gay. Hundreds swarmed all night at
the gates of Fenway park Within
an hour after the reserved stands
were flung open every seat was taken
and scores lined the back fences and
pressed against guard fence erected
around the rear of the outfield. Once
the crowd broke the wooded barrier
and mounted police had to drive the
people back into the enclosure. This
was three hours before game time.
Outside fences unables to gain ad
mittance thousands clamored vainly to
get in.
