British Casualties In
 September, 104, ,59s

Gondon. Sept. 2e-British casualties reported during the month or septeni- Der total 1O4, ,59S. divided as foiloWs'
 Officers killed or died of Wounos' 636; men, 1S,302.
 officers wounded or missing. 2,l51; men, s3,5O9.
 The severity of the fighting in which the British have been engaged durlns September is indicated not only by the total casualties of more than 1O4. 900, but tby comparison with the August figures, which were 59.S11. Cas- ua1ties in some of the late August fighting in Flanders naturally are ln- cIuded in the September total but this may well be offset by late Sep tember casualties not reported in time to be covered in the figures announced today. The total compares favorably, however, with the figures for Septem- Der, 1916, the third month of the battle of the somme, when the casualties were 1859.

(Special to Tha F.rer

Especial to The Farmer) :: Fairfield, Sept. 29---At. the meeting last night of the Fairfield Democratic club, the club took exceptions to a. circular reported to have come from Fillmore s. Banks, the former Repub- lican leader of the town, in which the candidacy of John B. Boyle for the school board was disapproved
 The statement is attributed to MT. Banks that the nomination of MT. Boyle is distinctly discreditable to the caucus that nominated him over Sam uel H. Wheeler, by one vote An ap- peal is made to the Democrats to write MT. Wheeler's name on their ballots.
 What did MT. Banks ever do for Fairfield, when he wasn't being paid for it? asked the meeting last night. They scored him for interfering with Democratic politics. The club reaf- firmed it's advocacy of MT. Boyle and the members pledged themselves to help him win place on the board

W. w. and inquiry established that the man was booked at the iail at Arturo Giovannitti. Subsequently, it was explained that a mistake had been made and that so far as the federal officers knew Giovannitti was not in this district

 squadron of raiders as going toward
 London and returning apparently one iby one. A telegram from Essex says

 Witnesses on the occasion were few hand confined almost exclusively to employees of the plant, naval officers attached to submarines now being built here and representatives of the press, In general charge of the launching was Commander H. H. M. Robinson. managing director of the plant. The work was supervised by J. E. Schmeltzer, production manager.
