Of Admiral Fletcher, commander
in-chief of the Atlantic fleet. The
force consists of nineteen battle

PREPARE COLUMBIA EXTENSION COURSE
 FOR BRIDGEPORTERS
Local Students Should Desig- nate Studies They Prefer
 To Take Up.

Those who are interested in the Co., Iumbia Extension work are enrolling for the courses for next fall. The au- thorities of Columbia. University de- sire to issue a bulletin within the next few weeks for all the centerS where extension work is being done. To en- able them to do this an enrolment must be made, since only through such an expression can the university offer such courses here as will meet our needs.
 In enrolling, the following facts should be borne in mind: 1. This is not a pledge. 2. The cost of any course is its time in hours multiplied by $6 per semester. 8. Each of these courses, except for eign languages, may be counted to- wards a degree. 4. Every one who enroIls is asked to express second choice. As the enrolment for the coming year has been started at a very late date owing. to some changes that have been made, it would help much more in getting definite data for the univer- sity if, all who are interested would l send postal cards stating which courses they will enroll for and giving | the addresses at which it will be pos sibIe to reach them for the next few weeks. These postal cards should g sent to Robert L. Zink, 193 Barnum l avenue, as soon as possible. This Columbia Extramura1 Center offers an excellent opportunity to teachers and others to take up college ! work in some 20 courses divided into l two groups: l. Academic subjects, such as Eng | fish literature, composition, grammar. history, government, foreign Ian guages. 2.

 Mrs. Della replied: eNo!'.
 then searched the house thor was not in the house and that should find him at a certain place that I knew he would be engaged in busi- ness, Izsaid to Mrs. Della:
 Well, I am going to arrest Joe, and he will be taken on the 7:30I train to Hartford. If you want to get bonds for him you will have about 20 min utes, as by that time he will be at the station and the bondsnnan can go to Hartford with him."
 @tI then Jumped into the automobile and went where I knew Joe would be- I placed him under arrest and told him to hurry up and lock up the store as he would be on a, train for Hart ford in a few minutes.
 "I had to forcib1y throw him into | the automobile. He gave me consid- erab1e difficulty during the ride to the. station. There I met Marshal EIawley and said: Here is your pris- oner.'' Marshal Haw1ey said: "Is this the man I want?'' and said ttYes.''
