So far, most of the responding firms
not only show willingness to make the

help otherwise in the food situation. Re-
sponses by letter, telegram and telephone
have indicated widespread interest in

RED CROSS IS
 READY TO INVESTIGATE.
Story Has Gained Circulation Tha Knitted Articles Have Been Sold.

The local Red Cross chapter has requested Norwich people to report any case, if tfey have accurate in formation, of the selling of articles knitted by the Red Cross, and the mat ter will be immediately investigated. No attention will be given to vague rumors.
 A statement from Harvey D. Gibson, general manager of the American Red Cross, has been received by Mrs. R. w. Perkins. secretary of the local branch. It reads as follows:
 A story is being circulated to the effect that sweaters, socks and other articles knitted by the Red Cross are being sold, either to the public in shops to direct to the soldiers. This is emphatically not true. No article whatever. either knitted or otherwise ed into any Red Cross chapter, branch or auxiliary. or to any supply ware house, are sold either to the soldiers or in shops.
 should come to the attention of heal quarters, the chapter of the Red Cross chapter or subsidiary sanctioning it would be immediately withdrawn with full publicity. Should it transpire that an actual instance of the above char acter occurred wherein an individual sold articles after their having been turned in to the Red Cross, such ac- ton would be clearly in violation or the fundamental law covering the Red Cross, and We would take vigorous steps to prosecute the offender.
 >''It is also true that any case of persons other than those acquiring the right prior to January, 1905. using the name or emblem of the Red Cross oassist in the sale of merchandise, is a violation of the provisions Of the federal criminal law, and the offender should be reported to the United States district attorney for prosecu- tion.
 There is no way to prevent people from making the same type of articles as are produced by Red Cross work CTS and selling them for their own advantage thus subjecting the Red Cross to unjust criticism. Should they use the name or emblem of the Red Cross in connection with such sale, however they will be vigorously prose cuted."

CALLED 16 FOR JiTNEY. But Young Man of Foreign Birth Did Net Care to Ride in It When it Showed Up.

A practical joke pulled off by well
 known Norwich chauffeur who may be seen around Franklin square all
 most any night resulted in the arrest of the joker and his innocent victim. It also ruptured the bIissful harmony
 at police headquarters for a few min
 utes early this (F'riday) morning.
 A few minutes before one o'clock this morning a telephone message was received by Acting Captain Allen c. Mathews at police headquarters and the voice at the other end of the line made request that the automobile" he sent down to the Capitol Lunch. Acting Captain Mathews immediately despatched q half dozen blue coats to
 the lunsh room and also sent the pa- trol wagon. When the officers and the patrol arrived in front of the lunch room things were moving along as peacefully as ever. Whats the trou- ble here? asked one of the officers. We don't know of any trouble said
 one of the two young men standing on the sidewalk Well who called up the police station? fired back the officer. There was no answer at first until one of tie two, young man of for
 eign birth. admitted that he had called
 up t5 which is the police station tele-

 wanted jitney to take me home and
 he (pointing to the other young man
 who happened to be the chauffeur re-
 ferred to above) told me to call 16, and they would send machine after
 me. I didn't know it was the police station number. And then it dawned
 on the police that it was but a prac-. tical joke. After a few words of
 warning to the practical joker the two were allowed to leave, which needless
 to say. they did. and in a hurry. If we may he allowed to give vent to our opinion, it was rather mean to
 take advantage of the unexperience of
 the young man of foreign birth.

AT THE DAVIS HEATRE.
Vaudeville and Moving Pictures.

After three days of a moving picture program. the vaudeville and movies were resumed at the Davis theatre on Thursday for the rest of the week. Just before 8.30 o'clock Charles l.. Stewart. one of the four minute men. gave a four minute, talk on the Liberty bonds Although lis time was limited to four minutes, Mir. Stewart deeply interested his audience. He spoke of the need of loaning money to the gov ernment at this time. The government is not asking you to give it your money, said Mr. Stewart. but only to loan it, and it pays you 4 per cent. in terest. It Is the best security in the world and an entirely safe investment.
 The audiences at both afternoon and evening performances wer elarge. The feature picture was The Ten of Dia- monds, with Dorothy Dalton in the leading role. The title of the comedy picture was A Fallen Star, by the Tri- angle komedy cast.
 One of the best dancing skits seen here this season was presented hy Berk and Bro6erick. late stars of The Lilac Domino. Valentine Fox appeared in a ~ventriloquial novelty, A Member of the Black and White Club, and the Texas Comedy Four. a male quartStte, had the third act on the program.

 regulation size and of silk: It is edged with bullion and bullion tassels and is surmou ounted with a handsome gilt eagle. A silver plate on the staff bears the inscription: Presented to the Third Regiment, C. N. G., by the Citizens of New London"
 The state flags presented by Colonel Waite are of blue silk, edged with bullion. The state arms are beauti fully worked in the center and they bear on the folds in neat letters: Tn Memoriam of Lieut.. Marvin Waite"
 Very few of the members of the old Third regiment are no walive and as far as known there are only two or three now in Norwich. One of the members still in Norwich Is Col. Charles W. Gale. who at that time was adjutant. That Colonel Gale was extremely popular may be seen from the following quoted from The Bull letin of Sept. 14, 1888:
 ''The adjutant, Charlie Gale, is one of the best of good fellows and de- serves all the pleasant things that are said of him. His ability to fill his position Is unquestioned."

 The Boy Scouts of the city and vi- ciinty have heartily entered into the campaign for Liberty bonds and will try and boost the sale of the bonds.

The boys were told of the value of the bonds aN1 their i'm portance to the country. The method or canvass was discussed and 1t was decided that the best means of secur- ing the subscriptions to the bonds would be to divide the city into dis tricts and assign one troop to each district
 The town was divided and assigned a g follows:
 Franklin street as far as Grove and including the Falls, Troop No. s.
 North Main street and Central ave- nue, Troops No. and s.
 Main street east from postoffice to Preston, Troop No. G..

The fires will be bonftres set in different. parts of the city and at each fire a speaker will address the crowds and tell of the great need for the purchase of Liberty bonds. This new feature in the campaign work was suggested in letter received by Mrs. Albert Fl. Chase, chairman of the focal ladies' committee, from the Lib erty loan woman's committee. This plan has been adopted in other cities throughout the country and 1as met with marked success.
 A mass meeting has been pfanned for next Tuesday evening in the in terests of thesLiberty loan, at which meeting Dr. Benjamin w. Bacon will speak. as will Ralph H. Ftslle.
