HEAVY PENALTIES.
For Anyone Who Steals Apples During
 These Perilous Times.

Willimantic, Nov. 3.-Invoking in a law passed by general assembly to protect gardeners, farmers and those who desired to add to the food re- sources of the state by protecting them against thefts of fruit and pro- duce, authorities in Windham and Coventry today secured conviction with heavy penalties for the stealing of apples by John Kramer and Roy Wilson of this place. In the local court the charge was theft of five bags of apples which they had in their possession when caught last night. Each was fined $25 and costs. Deputy Sherff Harmon was on hand and re- arrested the men charging them with stealing 30 bushels of apples on October 25 at the Chandler farm in South Coventry. They had used an automobile. Some of the apples were found in the mems cellars. Justice Andrews at Coventry sent Kramer to jail for sixty days and fined him $1O and costs, while as Wilson was a first offender he was given 30 days and $10 and costs.

The casualties were an nounced Jointly by the War and Navy Departments. with the assurance that no further details regarding the acci- dent had been received. The first re- port received stated that the Finland had returned safely to port and was only slightly damaged

 The announcement that five of the men were drowned indicated to off, cials that the F1nland's company left the vessel in small boats until 1t was made certain that she would remain af1oat. The capsizing of one of the boats in launching might account for the drowning of the men.
 It is assumed that two of the armed guard were killed by the explosion of the torpedo and that the missing one probably was blown overheard by the explosion as was Q seaman on the de- stroyer Cassin when she was torpe- doed recently.

Nothina to Worry Abont.

From The Fort Smith Times Record.
 Young men now anxiously sean hing the draft lists as posted at the office of the sheriffs all over the country have nothing at all to worry about according to the ingenious philosophy of an unknown joker, who is eminently fitted by his per- formance to become the permanent head of the Don't Worry" Club.
 It appears that this joke with serious things is responsible for the following train of what may be called thought, if not logic.
 You have two alternatives -eith- CT you are drafted or you are not If not, you have nothing to worry about. If you are drafted, you have two alternatives-you are in camp or you are at the front. If you are in camp you have nothing to worry about. If you are at the front you have two alternatives either you are held in reserve or you are sent to the firing line. If you are in re- serve, you have nothing to worry about. If you are sent to the firing line you have two alternatives either you fight or you don't. If you don't you have nothing to wor- ry about If you do you have two alternatives either you get hurt or you don't If you don't you have nothing to worry about. If you dc get hurt you have two alternatives
 either you are slightly hurt or bad ly hurt, If slightly hurt, you have nothing to worry about. If badly hurt, you have two alternatives either you recover or you don't. II you recover you have nothing tt worry about. If you don't recover then you are dead and can't worry
 Following out the line of thought we may add that if you are killed you have two alternatives either you go to the good place or the bad place. If you go to the good place you have nothing to worry about If you go to the bad place you have two alternatives either you take a shovel and stoke the furnaces or you sit around and wait for the Kaiser to come and be assigned to the job. If you sit around and wait you have nothing to worry about seeing the Kaiser do it ought to be a worry eraser

CARRY FLAG OF THE STARS'
Red Cross Men, First at Front, Show That Emblem Stands for Ten
 derness and Pity.

It Is a beautiful thing to know that the first armed contingent that carried the American flag to the front on the allied lines was drawn from the men of the Red Cross ambulance, and that the first official division of the Amer ican army to land in England for serv- ice in the great war was a hospital unfit. It is beautiful to think, too, that the same papers that told of General Pershing's visit to the tomb of Ma poleon, the master soldier, had also the story of a splendid fund that Is being raised to furnish and send to France complete base hospital in memory of General Pershing's wife.
 It is good to feel that our flag of the stars is standing for tenderness and pity more than for the pride of war, and that the blood with which it must so soon be stained with the scars and rents which 1t must so soon re- ceive will be as wounds borne not for glory's sake but for the healing of the nations. For we have come at last to know that 1t Is sacrifice alone that buys for us the high things of the spirit; that blood is the price of soul sovereignty and of national renewal of heart. We accept again this inscrutable mystery. It is Gods decree.

Temperatures-North and south.

Temperatures--North and South. From The Fort Smith Times Record.
 It IS Illuminating to note that
 Southern cities show no higher
 temperatures than the Northen
 ones. Down South the sumemrs
 are no worse than up North, and
 the winters are delightful.-
 Louis Globe-Dem0crat.
 The facts bear out what the Giobe-Democrat says. Take last "Wednesday for a starting point we find that that was considered the crest of the hot wave. To that date there had been in New York SIS deaths in four days previous, 67 on the day named; in Boston the deaths on that day were four, and B additional prostrations added to a previous total of approximately 100; the toll in Philadelphia had been i34: the total in Chicago for the spell is not obtainabe but the total for Tuesday and "Wednesday was 3i, with many prostrations the total probably had been not less than foo.
 These reports are from only the four largest of the cities of the north The same conditiOns of high temperature and high humidity pre- vailed all over the north and the number of deaths and prostrations were everywhere in the ratio of the population factories were com pelled to close. freight depots were closed, announced public gatherings were not held, trolley men quit their johs-there was general interrup- tion of business and traffic of all kinds and even the carrying of mail by pOstmen was curtailed as much as possible
 Now one never or seldom reads of anything of that kind concerning the South. Heat prostrati0ns are ex- ceedingly rare. The thermometer may register as high as it has done in the North during the recent fatal heated term-from 90 on up to i00 and above-but the humidity in the South seems not to be so great, by reason of which the heat is not so oppressive and facilitating.
 The press of Boston and Chicago have been particularly critical of the war department for locating so many of the training camps in the South and have inveigned strongly and not always courteously against the intention to send northern boys to southern camps for training. all leging that the heat would be enerv- ating and oppressive and unfit them for service in France.
 Old Sol seems to have taken the starch out of their argument.
