MISS NORTH RESIGNS lPOSTMISTRESS' JOB ges Department Ample Time to
 Find Her Successor FOR EAST BERLIN OFFICE
Officers Fail to Find Evidence of H. legal Traffic In Liquor-Stone Shortage Holds Up Blue Hills Job Brief Items.

How will the people of East Berlin get their mail is the question which is agitating that district during the past two days. Yesterday Miss Ger trude North, who has been the post mistress in that office for a number of years, forwarded her resignation to Washington to take effect at the con- venience of the postal department. Miss North has given universal sat- isfaction and her resignation is the cause of much regret among the townspeople. She has other plans in view, but declines to tell what they are at present. Immediately after the news was noised about town speculation as to Miss North's suc- cessor was rife. It is understood that E. H. Gaines and Oreste Guil- lano. both of whom, are storekeepers, are desirious of handling the mail
 tt ie said +ha-/ "~:~rds of both are pulling wires already.
 - Anpfhf, Tu-Iu. M. circulated to the effect the office would be abol- ished altogether and the district would receive it's mail via rural route from the Berlin office. The latter seems highly improbable in view of the recent changes, whereby the Berlin route No. 1 was discontinued and part of the route being placed on the Kensington No. 1 route. This change goes into effect Saturday morning.
 The East Berlin office is fourth class, the remuneration to the post master being fixed by the number of pieces of mail cancelled. At present, 1t seems that either MT. Gaines or MT. Guillano will be chosen for the next postmaster.

ACROSS THE BORDER
National Guardsmen Sent Over Line to Maintain Pershing"s Line of Communication in Mexico.

Columbus, N. M,. June 29.-For the first time since their mobilization on the border National Guardsmen today are in Mexico on military service. Three motor trucks were loaded with New Mexico guardsmen last night and despatched down General Pershings line of communication to help guard against it's being cut.
 This action was taken following re- ceipt of a report that large forces Of Carranza cavalry had been concen- trated at or near Guznan on the Mexico Northwestern railroad. Such troops would be in position to 1n- terrupt the American communications, which are only ten miles distant from Guzman.

YELLOW OURS"
Members of Band in Fifth New Jersey Regiment Called Pet Names and Ordered Out of Camp

Ordered Out of Camp.
 Camp Fielder, Seagirt, N. J., June 29.-Twenty-seven of the twenty mine members of the Fifth Regiment band of Paterson have been dismissed from the service by New Jersey National Guard officers here since they sent an ultim dem anding $34 a week each for their services. Leader Rob- tnson said that if the men were not assured of this pay they would quit.
 "YOu're the worst lot of yellow CUTS I ever heard off, declared Colonel Van Walraven, in command of the Fifth, when the demand was brought to him You're dismissed. Transportation will be provided you, and I order you to turn in your equipment at regiment headquarters in Paterson by o'clock tomorrow evening or warrants will be issued for your arrest. The name, Fifth Regiment band, must be erased from your drum head and you must never use the designation again. You're a disgrace to the guard
 This was the first official instance of so-called stacking since the troops came to the camp here. Probably 100 other men, most of them married, have left the guard, after yielding to the entreaties of their wives and fami- lies to avail themselves of the ruling made by mmanding officers to grant leaves to all married men who desired them.

crushed stone for the Blue Hills road. Work was started two weeks ago but each day the deliveries of the stone became slower and slower until at present there Is none on hand to fin ish the job. The Meriden concern can not get men enough to work their quarries and consequently their out put is limited.
 Contractor Suzio started tearing ID Warrington Ridge, preparatory to building the cOncT~le road and al- ready the work l. progressing rap idly. The stone, which forms the macadam at present, will be used to repair Hudson street.
 Old Bridge Plant Gone.
 The old American Bridge company plant at East Berlin will soon be a thing of history. The work of dis mantling, which was begun two months ago, is rapidly going on and it is expected it will be entirely finished by Saturday evening. Practically all the steel has been shipped to the New York plant and will be put to use there. R. o. Clark has purchased the frame buildings from the company and has been given six months to clear the ground.
 MT. Clark has also rented the com- pany's land on the Cromwell side of the river. This land is named in the bonds of the American Bridge com- pany and consequently cannot be sold. It abounds other land of Mr. Clark's and Is the only outlet to the road from his woods. He plans to use it simply as a driveway.

 Luigi Confeggi and Miss Carmella Cichetti, both of Kensington will be married at St. Pauls church, Kensing- ton, next Monday morning at g o'clock by Rev. J. c. Brennan, the pastor.
