Anti Enlistment League
 Stirs Up U. S. Marines

An anti-en1istment league, p1edg1ng all male members over 18 years of age to refrain from en1isting for any international war in which the United States may become involved, is form ing at Brooklyn, N. r., not far from the navy yard, where hundreds of
 United States Marines are held in readiness to leave at a moments no2 tice for any part of the world where American interests are threatened.
 An the Marines are all "het up'' over the matter, too. E'Tel1ing it'' to them has it's drawbacks. for. as "Jhonnies-o they form the first line of the national mobile defense, and they cannot get the viewpoint of the peace-at-any-price propagandists who have established headquarters close by
 ''The United States Marine. Corps is up to maximum strength this minute and is ready to a man for an3t hing that may arise,t said a grizzIed old gunnery sergeant when told the news
 Let 'em strike; the home enemy or the foreign kind, and they'll always find the Marines able to give ] good account of themselves. We som metins nsss need a few men to fill our ranks, but we've never yet had to call in the kind of male bipeds who wanted to know who the enemy was going to be
 before they enlisted. The United
 States Marie Corps is no place for a
 ni1ksop. mo1lycodd1e. or half-hear-ed
 man, for we're always in the, thick of something or other, and we like to have tick1ish job to do. Look at
 Haiti. No, sir. these anti-en1istme Tt people do not realize what they are doing. They do not realize that an adequate army and navy is the 5surest kprotectfon against war, and the stronger our armed forces are the 1 less Ifklihood there is of a surprise at tack by an interruptions enemy. The United States Marine Corlss (which is
 neither army or navy), has scant 10000 men with which to hold 1he foe at bay in the early stages of an invasion. These 1o,00 are ready to a man and a button. but i1lstead of 10 we should be 5O,OOO strong, to insure against war and as means of 5protec- ton against unjust aggression Perhaps if New York was bombarded 1 by a foreign fleet the headquarters of the ti-enlistment league would re- move from 61 Quincy street, Brook 1 lyn, toto the navy yard, maybe. Stranger things than that have hap ] pened.''

Elm Street Property Owners Want City Not
 To Levy For Pavement

Henry R. Parrott and others who own property in Elm street, appeared before the aldermanic committee on claims last night asking the abate- ment of the assessment for the wood en block pavement laid in Elm street. The property owners claimed that Elm street should not have been paw ed from Main street to Golden Hill street on the supposition that it was to be an outlet to relief for Main street traffic. The committee made no decision on the matter.
 Mrs. Anna, Yansick asked damages for injuries she received through a fall caused by defective pavement in the West End. The fall occurred on September 12. She claimed her clothing was damaged
 Dr. Maurice J. Greenstein claimed damages for a broken autom bile spring caused by an alleged defect in Rosfwick avenue Wordin avenue and Osborne street. He also asked for reim burse1nent for the hire of a, car while his was being repaired.
 Other petitions heard were:
 David N. Arrnstrorg 2 for abatement of assessment and release of lien.
 Mrs. Anna c. Reilley. adjustment of assessment for North Washington ave- nue sewer in name of Thomas Hines.

HARTFORD SPECIALIST
 GIVES DEMONSTRATION
 OF ZONE THERAPY HERE

The medical and dental fraternities of this city were entertained at their meeting last night by Dr. William H. Fitzgerald, M. D. upon the theory of zone therapy.~ Not only was the the ory fully explained by Dr. Fitzgerald, but demonstrations of the art were given by the eminent throat and nose Specialist.
 The theory is that the body is di- vit1ed into ten zones. It was shown that the .extremities on each side of the body control certain zones. Press ure texerted on specified extremities produce anaesthesia, thus relieving pain.
 What benefit the practice of zone therapy will have in treatment of den tai and medical cases is still a question in the minds of many physicians, all though it is likely to become general 1y practiced in the future. DrS. Sears, Riggs and Mclean of Hartford, also were speakers at the : ell attend ed meeting last night.

SAM MERRrrrs NEW sCHE.lE

Sam Merritt is about to engage in another venture and as usual the big fellow is more than sanguine that at last he has struck the golden bucket from which the money flows This time it is a music hall and after things are fixed up, to use Sam's own expres- sive phrase 'ttf1e people of this town will get the biggest show this side of the Rockies for their coin and that goes see %
 The new place of amusement will shortly be opened in the Sunday Her |ald building on Middle street in the same quarters where the Inaperiad music hall held forth in the sssIrizs days of Jimmy McNa11y. Associated with him in his new enter pFzse is George Downing a local sporting man, It is hirited that he is furnishing the means for the equipment of the enter prise.
 Sam says that Harry Miner started in the same way and today he is a Congressman While Same does not deny that he would refer the money to the title still there's such a thing as getting both.
