For postmasters to act as recruiting
sergeants in towns where no regular
stations are maintained would be a
means of increasing our army greatly
by the addition of healthy young men,
Recruiting Sergeant Bond said this
morning
AT present recruiting is confined to
large cities and the farmer boys do
not know what recruiting means.
Such stations would be especially pro
ductive during the winter and in nearly
fall just after farm work is over, be-
cause at present the farm hands fur
nish the most valuable source for re-
cruiting during the winter"
This plan was suggested few days
ago by Captain V. NJ. Elmore, of the
Twenty-second United States infantry.
The postmasters would receive a
bonus for every man from their dis
tricts who successfully passed the ex-
animation for enlistment. Sergeant
Bond said that this would promote in
terest in the postmasters to use their
broad knowledge of the young men of
the community.
No man would be allowed to remain
in the army longer than three years,
under this system, save few who
especially distinguish themselves in
their duties and who would stay as

ACTION DELAYED
ON BOND ISSUE
BEFORE COUNCIL

Council deferred action on the light
plant refunding bond issue until the
next meeting n two weeks. The ques-
ton was brought up. however, and
discussed by members and represen-
tatives of the Commercial club. No OPP
position was expressed to the revised
plan as proposed by Alfred Bavis and
indication pointed last evening to its
adoption.
The plan proposed by the board OF
works is for the retirement of the
s139.o00 of the city plant construction
bonds, now held by the Second Ma
tional bank. two years prior to the
maturity which would be March, 1927,
by increasing the plants sinking fund
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year and to
provide at the same time twenty-five
per cent reduction in electric light and
power rates. 1t was brought out in the
report of the board of works that
such rlsn would save the tax pay
ers of the city s27,141.71 and at the
same time allow a reduction in the
rates.
George Seide1 chairman of the pub
lie service corporations committee of
the Commercial club. informed the
hoard of FORKS and the city council
that the Commerce club committee
was not opposed to the new plan of
redeeming the bonds. He said that it
was opposed to the original, method.
He said that the committee was OPP
posed to any plan whereby the reduc-
ton in tho light and power rates would
ne prevented.
Alonzo Gardner. former city attor-
ney. said that he was strongly in ia
yor of the proposed plan.
Pettis A. Reid, who expressed him
self at a meeting of the Commercial
club last week as opposed to the plan,
said that he is not opposed to the
present arrangement. His opposition
was solely to the original plan which
would retire the bonds in five or six
years. making it impossible to reduce
the rates as was promised when the
merger of the two plants was made.
Mayor Robbins said that the board
of works anticipating objections to the
plan and that the proposed plan is not
ironclad. He said he was not in favor
of rushing the matter ntil the coun.
cilmen understood the situation exact

WESTERLY, r. l., April 18.-The
bodies of four victims, charred almost
beyond recognition, were raked early
today from the smouldering ruins OF
the local express into which plowed
the Giitedge Flyer, splitting open the
rear car OF the local and trapping the
thirty or more passengers in that car
last night
The search was continued as rapidly
as the cooling of the ruins would per
nit, in the fear that more bodies were
hidden in the blackened wreck.

Five are known to be dead. Although
positive Identification was not possible
it was believed that the four bodies
we're those of Miss Janet Clark, of
Westerly; Albert Boardman, of Brad
ford, England: and Mr. and Mrs. Lowe
Of Tower street, Westerly.
OF the thirty-two persons injured,
whose names We're in the possession
of railroad officials, one, Mrs. Olive
MartelI OF South Bridge, Mass, was
so badly injured that she died after
her removal from the wreck to the
hospital in New London.
General Manager G. l.. Bardo of the
New Haven, who arrived on the first
relief train sent to the scene OF the
wreck, declared today: 1T would be
unfair to the public and all concerned
to make any definite statement as to
the cause of the accident. That can
only be determined by rigid investi-
