LONDON PUTS BAN
ON PALMISTS and
FORTUNE TELLERS
Readers of the Future Are to
Be Wiped Out of
Business

London, Jan. 10.-Palm ists,t crystal
gazers and clairvoyants who have been
reaping a rich harvest in these days
of national stress/ar to be stamped
out as a result of the campaign inau-
gurated by the authorities in London
and many other cities of England.
The extensive business done by these
fortune tellers is being revealed al
most daily in the police courts. An
amazing number of people have been
willing to pay from $3.50 to IS for d
glimpse into the future. Wives and
sweethearts of soldiers at the front
have been the most willing victims.
They have sought out these prophets
for a possible clue to their loved ones.
The business has thrived in London
and the big Industrial centers like
Manchester and Birmingham where
the poorer classes have been making
so much money working on munitions.
The most widely known crystal ga
ger in London's fashionable quarter
was fined $500 the other day. There
was practically no defense: all that
was urged on the defendants behalf
was that she gratified a craze and
that society women formed a large
proportion of her patrons.

COLUMBUS BOYS CLUB
PLANS TO BUILD HOME

The proceeds of the ball given in
Eagles hall by the Columbus Boys
club, last night, will be to form the
nucleus of a building fund for the
club house which will be erected soon.
1t was estimated that 1900 persons
attended the ball last evening. Prizes
were given other organizations which
attended and the Castelfranchese with
103 members present received a silver
loving cup. A loving cup was also
given the Savoy club which had 66
members present. The Columbus
Boys club expects to erect a club
house to cost $4,000. The club was
organized in 1908 just prior to the
first Columbus celebration held in
this city.
Samuel Buono, Michael Palmer,
Leonard Marcello, Leonard Caggia-
niello, Dominick Palmer, Joseph Mar
cello, John Inglese, Samuel Perrelli
and Dominick Paduino were the or
ganizers At the first meeting the
membership was increased to 10 and
the name was selected in honor of the
celebration of Columbus Day. The
first officers were: Le.nard Marcello,
president; Leonard Caggianiello, vice
president; Michael Palmer, secretary;
Samuel Buono, treasurer.
The club members have been prom
inent in athletics ever since their or
ganization was formed and in coop

POET MOVES SEES
NO END OF WAR
ASYET IN SIGHT
Tells of Recent Visit to Som
me Front-N Signs
of Exhaustion.

That mo man can predict the du-
ration of this war or how peace will
be achieved, was the statement made
by Alfred Noyes, the English poet,
upon his arrival here on the Ameri
can liner st. Paul yesterday. He said
that recently he had been on the Som
me front, and that it had looked to
him 'as if the war could go on for
ten years without victory for either
side" Mr.. Noyes, who was accom-
panied by Mrs. Noyes, will make a lee
ture tour and then resume his profess
sienal- duties at Princeton University
in February. He said to-day:
There is scarcely family in Eng
land that has not lost a member.
lily. That makes us serious, I tell you.
But there is no hatred; not a bit.
Recently / was on the Somme front
and it looked to me as if the war
could go on for ten years without vic
tory for either side. There is moth
ing spectacular about the fighting
there. 1t is a very grim affair, and
just as if a great nation were slowly
but surely pushing it's way toward a
goal. The English and French are
pushing slowly but certainly toward
the Rhine, and the Germans are as
Gradually falling back. But there is
doubt if the Rhine is ever reached.
No man can predict the duration Of
this war or how peace will be achiev-
ed.
Regarding President Wilson's note,
it was not clearly understood in Eng
land. I think that was because of the
phrase that spoke of all the nations
fighting for a like object, the words.
tas they have all admitted being left
out of the public conception of the
Presidents meaning. In England
they said, Well, if that is true, that
we are all fighting for the same thing
England should never have gone into
the war 1t was merely a tempo
rary misunderstanding. They feel diff
ferently about it now"

the choir of the cathedral of Verdun
which the Sub-prefect Grillon of Yer

Some of the. panels have been split,
others caved in, by explosions and
shell fragments, and pieces of projec-

saved by Grillon during the lombard

the village. Sainte Fine marked the
extreme point Of the German advance

from the United States government
for one additional coast defense sub
marine similar to those now under

Experiment.

If you suffer from bachache; head
aches or dizzy spells; If you rest
poorly and are languid in the morn
ing; if the kidneys are irregular in
action. do not delay. In such cases
the kidneys often need help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for kidney trouble. They
are recommended by thousands. Can
Bridgeport residents desire more con-
vincing proof of their effectiveness
than the statement of a Bridgeport
woman VIII has used them and will
ingly testifies to their worth?
Mrs. Frank Smith, 2S4 Hawley
Ave, Bridgeport. says: "a year ago,
I suffered from weakness in my back
and I felt tired out and listless all
the time. Ny kidneys were out of
