A list of the names of tn ose per-
to possession of the local board was
received several days ago by Town
Clerk Francis Fl. Shaw. The names
each have a number opposite and
officials are wondering if this is the
authentic draft list which has been
or will be eventually sent to every
toyn before the consumption starts,
AS no enlightening literature accom-
panied the list everyone seems at

might be used in checking up the
plackers in the town, if there are any,
or it might be used successfully in de-
citing on those who will be the first
to be ushered into the service under
the seiective draft.
There are 405 names on the list, all
Of men between the ages of FL and 30
Inclusive. The first name on the list
has the number 1853 opposite and the
last name is numbered 513. Accord
Ing to the registration cards that were
dlled out by these men the most of
from did not claim exemption and
the greater share of them are

Informed regarding the method by
which they will be chosen and to as
,yrtain their number and what pro-
visions will be made for their notifi-
cation in case they are selected, an
effort will probably be made to find
nut whether this list is the one needed
for CONSUMPTION. No time should be
lost In doing this as any local boy
who was out OF town on registration
day and sent in his registration to his
legal home sh ould be notified Of what
MEMBER he has, so irregardless of
whether he Is at home or not will
know If he has been selected. In

he would be liable for arraignm ent

Another enigma in which consid-
erable interest is manifested by Off
Gals is the consumption allotm ent
which will be designated for the town.
NEzrly every city in Connecticut has

Alsace-Lorraine Prize.

The average person when be reads

will war on forever rather than con-
slider giving up Alsaee-Lorraine, taken
from the French after the war Of 1870.
thinks it is due to a natural reluctance
to give up something taken by con-
quest. But there is more than a sent
mental reason animating France with
keen deisre to regain her lost prov
iuces.
The chances are Germany would not
have made war. and would not have
been in the position to make war, If
il had not been for robbing France Of
/ Alsace-Lorraine.
! BY. taking these provinces Germany
I took over the Care basin with its
/ great coal fields II is true Germany
already had a considerable portion Of
the coal fields of Europe, but the ad-
vantage of the Care deposits is their
I location. The big thing the Prus-
slams gained was the Briey and
| Longwy iron deposit How import
ant these fields are TO Germany is in
dictated by the fact that in 1913 of
2S,000.000 tons Of iron ore extracted in
the German empire. 21,000,000 were
from the mines which once belonged
to the French.
Furthermore the possession Of Al
SAGE and Lorraine gave the Germans a
! convenient point from which to spring
upon France and seize the important
coal and iron fields that still belong to
that country.
The whole thing, therefore, gets
down to 0 coal and iron basis. Allow
Germany to hold AIsace and Lorraine
and she is allowed to possess forever
iron fields essential to her war-mak-
ing ambitions Moreover she is en-
abled to cripple the great French
democracy by marching at once into

The preamble notes the fact that
our success in the present war de-
ponds primarily upon our being able
TO feed our own people and the people

not be assured without the settlement

Is SO scarce that the sooner the fam
