 MT. and Mrs. Kepney were coming from Waterbury when the other car coming from Milldale hove in sight, around Q curve, on the same track. The Rotor1a1an on the car from Mili-s dale was unable to stop! his car and the >motorman on the second car apf piled the reverse speed but observing no reduction in the speed of the Milldale car he jumped from his post.

department was to discuss a policy regarding alien exemptions under the draft.
 AS result, a statement is ex- pected in the next few days, for the guidance of exemption boards in their treatment of foreigners. Pro- test has been made in congress against the apparent injustice Of basing draft quotas chiefly upon reg istration figures, when aliens, wlic were required to register, are exempt from draft; but it is understood the administration opposes legislation now.
 MT. Wilson spent half all hour with Mr.. Polk and then went to see MT. Baker. He remained at the war de- partment 45 minutes. while the CoEn- cil of National Defense waited in an anteroom for MT. Baker. it's chair man, to call a meeting.
 The state department has never been formally asked for an opinion upon the treaty obligations of this country in relation to alien exenp- tions The war department has pro ceeded upon the assumption that ali foreigners, except of an enemy char acter, should be included in the oper- ation of the draft, leaving their rights as foreigners to be adjudicated later.
 Officials of the state department have prepared a memorandum which probably will be used as the basis for the regulations of the exemp- tion boards. This memorandum out lines the international aspects of the question and suggests various lines of policy which may be adopted by the administration.
 The memorandum states in effect that subjects of Japan, Serbia and Italy are absolutely exempt from mill itary service for this government be- cause treaties between the United States and these countries specifcal- ly provide that nationals of the con- tracting parties shall not be taken for military service against their will '
 The memorandum presents no other hard and fast rulings. but sug- gests that the aliens of other friendly countries may be called under the draft, providing they have announced their intention of becoming American citizens by taking out their first pa- pers.
 As a matter of policy the state de- partment is opposed to having the war department attempt to force any foreigner into the national army un-

America largely because no Ameri- cans arose to establish, between North and South America, the same frequency of ocean service which ex- isted between Europe and South America. It was quicker to travel, and oftener cheaper to ship, from New York to Rio via London or Hamburg, than it was to travel or ship direct.
 Travelling or shipping to Central America and the West Indies, how ever, have not been under such handt- caps American transportation lines have held their own on the lanes Of travel between these places and the United States. Intense American trade has grown up between these countries and our own. If there is one outstanding factor in that net work of transportation and in that trade it is the United Fruit Company. Indeed, so far as Jamaica and Central America are concerned United Fruit is the Chief carrier. Its steamers have brought to us the principle fruits of the tropics They have carried back and forth many millions of our people and thus helped to weld firm the bond of personal relationship be- tween these places Thus has pan Americanism grown in leaps and bounds through the agency of thorough American business organ ization. Diplomacy must take its hat off to business in this one instance at least The Mail feels that ''every withdrawal of those vessels n1eans a weakening of our influence in the region where we can least afford to have it weakened.
 There is, on top of that, another consideration equally as worthy. It is the plebian banana. And the banana is a food that has especial appeal to the poor. Last year six million bananas were imported into the United States. The sun and rain of the tropics, without human inter vention, produce this food in luxurious abundance. The ships cannot be spared to take bananas abroad. They can be brought to the United States in quantities sufficient to free other American food for European use
 Then there is the. argument des- tined to save a great array of ships from he-Atlantic-service when the same ships can be better used in "up-and- down. the Atlantic. The l ocean service to South America is important in more ways than one.

The Last Cigar-A Memory.

(H. T. Sudduth in the New Yo'k
 World). Col T. w. Fabens, born July 25. 1891, died in New York March l'' 1875; author of the college song ne Last Cigar"
 O singer of but one sweet song' Whose echoes come from far On breeze from blue Canary lsies
 With fragrance of cigar! What memories your song aWaKes
 Of long-past golden days, Of nights ambrosial, divine
 And leafy campus ways The summer stars through eln-tree boughs
 On college youth look down. And dtmly rise fair Learnings halls, Asleep the silent town! The night seemed tinged with old
 romance,
 It's memory fingers yet, As sadly sweet arose your song Ere the new moon had set. We seemed to see you on the deck, Or leaning on it's rail, Twas off the blue Canary Isles' You told to us your tale; We watched with you the dying glow Of your last, famed cigar; o nights and dreams of youth long
 gone, How sweet you seem afar! We knew your song but not your
 name What mattered it to us? Enough to know twas written bv The great Anonymous. Such tricks oft plays Mnemosyne On singers and on songs; The singer dies. his song lives on, It's fame, not his, prolongs!

ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL.

Transport service across the Allan tie is a military necessity that will in all probab bility disrupt the plans of many mercantile marine companies. Many American ships will be requi- sitioned for this service. the result of which will be derangement of some esta blished schedules, notably those on river and lake lines. Pointing out that there is one ocean service in par tfcular which deserves to be cherised, and maintained, insofar as it's main tenance is in any way compatible with the military and naval needs of the United States, the New York Mail makes earnest plea for continuance of the United Fruit company's service to Central America.
 There are two well defined reasons why such an appeal will receive the thorough consideration of every good American citizen. These reasons should find easy access to the proper sanctums at Washington. One is political, one of economic nature. Both have been largely associated with the activities of this great steamship company. Even inhabitants of an inland city, such as New Britain, are familiar with the work which has been done, and which is now being done by the United Fruit Company It has been for long the great con- meeting link between the United States and Central American. We endorse the sentiment be- hind the plea for it's uninterrupted service.
 The Monroe doctrine has stood for nearly a century. Its sure guarantee fs not the words of statesmen nor even the might of armament. Its sure guarantee is the bonds of sym pathy which unite us with the people of Latin America. Those bonds of sympathy are woven by the lines of communication which unite us with them. and by the exchange of our
 products with theirs. Europe pre-
 dominates in the trade of South

LEND A HELPING HAND.

New Britain should keep a careful record of all it's boys sent to the front If New Britain does not do [ this no other city can be expected to do it for New Britain. There are, of course. in the War Department at Washington complete data concerning all the men who are in the army. n Since, however. many New Britain men have enlisted from other cities the records at Washington will not rive the information desired here. If we want a complete record of our warriors we must get it from the home base.
 For the past five days the Herald has printed blanks which are de- signed for this one end,-to secure valuable Information about our sol- ing in the paper day by day and should be filled out and sent to this ofF1ce so that a complete list of our soldiers may be published and kept -lon file. These blanks cannot Do printed forever. The end of their publication must come sooner or later Now then is the time for ac- ton. Now is the time to lend a helping hand and send in the infor~ nation Mothers. fathers, sisters, brothers, cousins and aunts, even friends outside the individual fam flies that have sent boys to the front, are asked to cooperate in this task.
 Fill ou. blank today. It will rot take n.any moments to comply with this request. At first designed to prove that New Britain's new quota under the selective draft law had been placed at too high a figure. tho idea of securing this information has been changed to desire of se- curing authentic information that will be valuable in the future, when the , history of this war and the par, Americans played in it come to be written Help complete the honor roll.

In Favor of School Athletics.

Editor Manning Times:
l desire space in your paper to put
before the teachers and schools of
this county this article which outlines
a plan have in mind for the organi-
zation of the schools in Clarendon
into an athletic association.
1t is my desire and purpose to
briefly present the beneficial effects,
physical development and mental
achievements to be derived from a
thorough and we'll organized system
of schools of Clarendon county. This
can be done at little expense, and the
time and money expended will GER
tainly be repaid many times in the
increased robust physical develop
ments of the pupils, as we'll as the
intensified mental acumen and expan-
sion of those who will participate.
The strongest and most unanswer-
able argument that can present in
behalf of this proposition is the fact
that many of the ablest and most
thorough educators in this State and
throughout the United States have
installed athletic sports in their
schools, and are all the while increas
ing their efficiency and providing for
their enlargement. The unqualified
/ testimony of these men is that athlet-
les in their schools, properly installed
and scientifically operated, cannot be
too highly estimated.
believe that every high school in
this county should have we'll orga
nlzed base ball team, basket ball, ten
mis- and track organizations. These
would furnish ample physical exer-
else and useful diversions for both the
boys and girls, and would induce quite
number of young people to be anx-
ious to attend these schools on ac-
count of the athletics.
What is better or more to be de-
sired than all-round fully developed
young men and young women physi-
cally? A strong robust constitution
and good physique will strengthen
the mental powers, brighten the in
tellect, rendering the pupils more eff
ficient in their text books.
The members of each athletic club
in the different schools in the county
would buy their equipment, practice
their games, and on stated occasions
there would be contests participated
in by the teams of these schools.
We see that athletics among school
boys and girls is beneficial. The next
thing to consider would be plan for
