FELT ON EAST SIDE

tendent Kehoe Explains Reason.

Superintendent S. ]. Kehoe Of the
city gas and electric department said
on Friday evening that the reason
East Side have had no lamps in them
FOR the last two weeks or so was be-
cause 1t has been impossible to get
any lamps and the supply here is ex-
hausted
1t is the hand Of the war across the
sea that reaches over to the East Side
lights for the filaments used in these
have been made in Germany and the
war has cut off the supply. The Cen
eral Electric and the Westinghouse
people have both been experimenting
on a filament to use in the lights and
ii is understood that one has been Sc
cured to use in these three series lights
that are the kind used on the dark
poles on the East Side.
An order for the lamps was placed
on Oct 20, but so far none have been
received, although the city gas and
electric department had a promise
that some would be received here by
express on Dec. 10th. They did not
come, however.
The places that are in darkness are
on Fox Hill and upper Greeneville and
there are several places on the West
Side also.
The lamp company has also given
the city department the additional in
formation that there is every proba-
bility soon of a shortage in Mazda
! lamps, also because the filament sup
| ply from Germany IS cut off.

NO WAR TALK
ALLOWED IN LIVERPOOL
Bert Laid Writes to Norwich Friend
Went Across With Cargo of Horses.

William H. Grant of Boswell avenue
has received an interesting letter from
Bert Ladd, formerly of this city, who
is in Liverpool, England, at present.
having shipped on the steamship Eton-
ian from Boston, carrying a cargo of
horses, ETC., for the English army.
In part the letter follows:
You will see by the date line that I
am far across the briny deep. We left
Boston on Nov. 10 on the steamship
Etonian, British flag, with a cargo of
horses, etc, and had a very good trip
of u days. We encountered some
rough weather.
This is quite a city. Anyone caught
looking a. the sun gets a medal: moth
ing but fog, fog. and more fog.
You would hardly know there was
a war if it was not for the men in
uniforms: no talk about it on the
streets or in the public houses, for it
is forbidden.
The saloons or public houses are
open from II m. to 2.3O p. m, and
from $50 p. m. to $50 p. m, but, be-
lieve me, they do some business in
that time.

knights of the Cross.
The speaker prefaced his remarks
by thanking the council for the in
vitation to address the members on
this occasion. Entering upon the sub
ject of his discourse he referred to
the bond of friendship which existed
between Poland and the United States,
due to the unselfish assistance given
this country in the hour of it's need
by two such eminent Poles as Pulaski
and KosciuslIo. The speaker then
proceeded TO give a historical sketch
of Poland during the many years in
which it was numbered among the
important nations of the world In
the thirteenth century il was the
largest, most populous and one of the
most prosperous of the countries of
the eastern hemisphere. Although it
was unquestionably a Catholic coun-
try vet il was the first of the great
nations to grant religious liberty For
four centuries Poland stood as a bull
wark against the fierce onsliuChts of
the barbarian races which time and
again swept down upon this country,
which stood Tor all that was COM
mendable in the dissemination of the
highest form of culture and education.
The speaker then referred to the
characteristics of the Polish people and
paid them a great tribute for their
noble and lofty spirit of patriotism,
for the purity of their family life and
their deep religious feeling, which was
evidenced in their daily lives. His re-
marks were given the closest atten-
ton and at the conclusion of his dis
course he was given a rising vote of
thanks.

Noon Meeting at Crescent Co

The noon meeting at the Crescent
Firearms company under Y. NJ. c. A.
auspices Friday at 1890 was addressed
by Rev. F. w. Coleman of the Trinity
Methodist church. who selected for his
topic Prayer for Wisdom.
The speaker brought out the thought
that we need wisdom to decide the
great questions of life; the conscience
is a safe guide so long as it is sensi-
tive, though too often the conscience
is hardened, or. as the scripture puts
it, scared as with a hot iron" We
need to pray that God will show us
how to decide between the right and
wrong things of life. and He will show
us as He did Solomon.
Mrs. George T. Lord sang two ap-
propriate solos. The men applauded
both the speaker and singer.

Local milkmen are loud in their
complaints over the loss of milk bot
ties, which with them is a daily hap

has lost over 800 bottles in a year,
this making a daily loss of one bottle
on the average. The bottles are not
stolen from the doors. but are packed
away in pantries and closets for future
use in some cases. In others it is Just
neglect on the part of the hOusekeeper
who fOrgets to put out the empty
