After that whole scheme has been torn to pieces like paperl There's been nothing fair in this business from the start! Weought to have kept Arrowood here and held together And we ought to have got rid of that Ames fellow he didn't belong in this 0t all!

AMERICAN SOLDIERS

British territorial recruits from Canada have oeea held in English training camps until the have lost patience and the Dominion felt humliated. IL nov develops according to an American war sponden., that the delay in sending the Canadians to the front has not been their lack of training, but o their excess of American independence Before they could be trusted join the British and fight side by side with the regular Tommies it they had to be taken down pes and absorb the British idea o' discipline
 "lt was terrible" English officer explained, "he way you Canadians into London Your officers aud pricates gathered together in the bars and drank to- gether, You cant build mp army with such faml iarity'
 But" protested Canadian officer, that the way pe have to build chem up. Canadian soldier has ne

 But the English officer shook his read sadly You haven't got our idea at al" he lamented "A private soldier is not expected have any individuality. His only duty is to obey his cuperors"
 And then, when the Canadian retorted that none Of that stuff would go with our men-theyre from Missouri i took half hour make the Engshman understand that bit of American slang.
 We might seek far for a better illustration of the essential similarity of the Canadians and the Americans The spirit of the two peoples the Canadians at home here and we are at home in CanaGa. From Grinnel Land the Rio Grande there's the instinct of independence of democracy of disregard for office title or uniform and the disposition size up man as a human being and treat him as he deserves. And in that very fact there is that mlitarism will never gain a foothold on this continent
 Neither the "Canuck" nor the "Yank" will never submit a system in which "his only duty to obey his superiors" for neither will ever admit that he had any "superiors"

 Then I looked at the floor to steady myself. and hope leaped within me, for there, by Ormsby's foot-a large and heavy one-lay an upturHed card the jack of clubs. whose lone symbol nagnifed itself enormously in my amazed eyes.

KNIFE WIELDER GOES 10 JAIL
"Olie" Olson Arrested for Gashing Hand of Bengt Anderson, His EDl- ployer-W. A. Hyde Settles Suit Brought by Hugh Reynolds.

Marcus Munsill, New York autoist was fined $15 and costs, amounting to $29.41, by Judge George G. Gris- wold in the Berlin town court this morning for having the muffler of his automobile open while passing through the center of the town yes- terday afternoon. Two charges were preferred against the accused, one, of reckless driving, being nolled.
 Before the court opened Prosecutor Gibney conferred with Attorney J. w. Knox, of Hartford, who defended MT. Munsill, and a nolle on the count of reckless driving was agreed upon By them if the defendant offered a plea of guilty on the charge of having the muffler open. The court however, required evidence to determine if the violation of the speed law occurred in a thiclly populated district which would necessarily endanger the safe ty of the public and whether there were any reasons why a slower speed was imperative. After subsequent testimony, marked by frequent tits between Prosecutor Gibney and At torney Knox, the court was convinced and nolled the first count imposing B fine of SIS and costs.
 William J. Donahue, an employe of the state police, who made the ar- { rest was the witness for the state. He said that he was making trip from Hartford to Bridgeport and was on the . Berlin turnpike when his motorcycle } broke down. He telephoned to Hart ford for assistance and William Lebev, employed by the Eastern Cycle con- pany, responded. As he did not have the necessary tools to fix the broken machine, the two started for Hartford onTebey's motorcycle. It was at this time that Munsill was seen coming down the road at a high rate of speed with his muffler open. Donahue N claimed that he shouted to him to stop but that no attention was paid to his command, so he commenced to follow. He overlook Munsill at Cedar Hill and placed him under arrest for reckless driving and having the muf- Her of his car open.
 Lebey was unable to appear in court this morning because of illness but since MT. Munsill lived in New York and would undergo considerable lnconvience if the case was continued Inc court proceeded with the case at the request of Attorney Knox. Lawyer Knox raised several technical ques- lions which Prosecutor Gibney claimed Awould have to cause an adjournment Mn order that he would have sufficient
 lime to examine and take measure

| Some of the townspeople, who were opposed to the sewer plans from the start, have claimed that they would l seek advice of counsel before paying tEeir bills, as they believed the com mittee exceeded its powers in spend- ing the money required for its investi- gation. few of those have already paid up and it is probable that the others will follow suit before May 1.
 All personal taxes must be paid by April 30. Collector Hemingway will insist on settlement of this tax with in the time required by law and de- l;nquents will be hailed into court to explain their negligence.

Repairs to Town Hall.

Repairs to Town Hall.
 Carpenters and plumbers will start tomorrow making repairs to the town building and when they have finished john s. Larson, who has the contract for painting the structure, will begin improving it's appearance.
 The town building has not been kept up for several years and as a result tt has depreciated greatly. Year after year the selectmen have postponed making repairs and improvements on account of the expense entailed. Con- sequently it will be necessary to spend a large amount now to put the building in good shape.
 Considera ble work will have to be done on the interior because it has been neglected in the past. The plaster is beginning to fall from the walls and the whole place is run down. The selectmen are planning to have a metal ceiling replace the plaster Cat feast what is left of iD on the hall itself. This will be a big improve ment and one greatly needed.
 Talk Cleanup to Odd Fellows.
 The plan for the towns annual cleanup, paint-up and fire protection week to start May 3rd, was outlined to the members of Sequassen lodge at their meeting held last evening. Be- sides getting the school children in- terested in the project, the business mems committee is hoping to do some work through the fraternal organiza- ticns and the members of all such bodies are hearing of the arrange ments at their meetings.
 This year the campaign IS attracting more attention than ever and the CO., operation of the townspeople seems assured. The school children will work to interest their parents in the plans and will also distribute litera- ture giving information as to the most important things to be done and how to do them.
 Everything points to the week of May 3rd being a very busy one and much should be accomplished before the campaign closes.
 But One Week Left.
 While there is but one week re- maining for the payment of taxes if the property owners are to escape the payment of an additional charge of nine per cent, as interest on their ac- counts. the books of Collector w. J. Hemingway show that there are large number yet to be heard from This is not an unprecedented con- d!ton as many taxpayers seemingly make it a rule to settle at the eleventh hour. Consequently there is liable to be a rush at the collectors headquar- ters during the next few days.
 The collections on sewer accounts. a novelty this year, are proportionate- ly as large as on town taxes. Each property owners share of the expense which was incurred by the sewer dis trict committees investigation of the sewer project is small and there should be few unpaid bills at the ex- riration of the time limited for pay- nent without interest charges.

BURGLARS MAKE HAUL
 AT RIFcH|N'S MARKET
Meats and Groceries Taken From Whiting St. Store During Night.
POLICE HUNT FOR MISSING LlM3
Thieves Gain Entrance Through Win dow-Place BurglaTfzed Three Times Within a Year-Win Have Traffic Officer at Center Sundays.

Traffic Officer at Center Sundays.
 Meats, groceries and tobacco valued at over S25 were stolen from the Clean Little Store on Whiting street some time last night and the police are working today in an effort to capture the burglars. It Is the third time within a year that the market has been raided and today H. l. Richin, the proprietor, was one If the most indignant men in town. He claims to be growing weary of fur nishing material for banquets for the midnight providers and he Is crying for more activity on the part of the authorities.
 Each time the place has been visited new method of entering has been adopted. The burglars have broken the lock on the door. have broken the door itself and now they are resorting to the window. There is a small aperture nearly ten feet from the ground used to get ventilation for the store It was through this that the burglars made their entrance last night. They pried off the screen which covered it, using blanks for staging to work on.
 Once inside they adjourned to the ice box, selecting a whole carcass of la n1b for their own use. They also took a good "cut" of beef, nearly half a barrel of sugar and quantity of tobacco. The appearance of the store this morning indicated that they were in no special hurry and much of the stock had been moved. the visitors evil dently taking time in the making of their selections.
 Inc ioh iIro %Ioa market was evidently done by local talent and today the police are about sniffing for the odor of roasting lamb in an effort to apprehend the culprits.
 Officer Philip Marine. the towns patrolman, was on duty until 1 o'clock this morning and as he spends much of his time around midnight near the center it is likely the burglars waited for him to quit before they made the break.
 Traffic Man for Sundays.
 The board of selectmen has de- cjded to have an officer on duty all day Sundays for the summer directing the traffic at the center Of the town Last year the officer worked in the afternoons only but the selectmen be- lieve that there Is enough traffic in the morning to warrant naming po- liceman to serve all day.
 On Sundays the autom obile traffic through the town is very heavy and for the protection of pedestrians and passengers on trolley cars, who get eff at the center. an officer can be of considerable service in watching the machines.
 The town is without any traffic regulations but heretofore it has been found that autoists are willing to accept the instructions of the officer on duty without any protest and as a result he is able to accomplish con- siderable.
 The selectmen have not decided who will do the traffic work but it is
New Britain herald., 1915-04-23

probable that all the constables will be given a chance to go on duty in their turn, a practice carried out last year in satisfactory fashion.
