BECKETT IS BACK
 FROM WAR FRONT
Kensington Man Was in Thickest
 of Battle at Yerdun

J Luman c. Beckett of Kensington, a member of the Eighth Liverpool Kings infantry who saw active service at the memorable battle of Verdun with the allies, arrived home today to spend few days furlough with his parents MT. and Mrs. G. c. Beckett. He will return to Baltimore Saturday to report to the British cOunsul pre- paratory to departure for the war zone, ready to enter the conflict in the big drive that the allies are to begin with the advent of the spring.
 Young Becketts war experiences have been numerous since his first en- try into the conflict in 1915. Becom- ing imbued with the war spirit, Beckett left his quiet home and went to Canada but encountered some diff ficulty in joining the army. However undaunted, he went across the ocean and succeeded in enlisting with the Kings infantry. Shipped into the storm center, the regiment of which Beckett was a member was in the thickest of the fray, and was but one rank in rear of the main firing line. Although passing through the battle without wounds, Beckett fell a victim to the deadly malady confronting
  trench feet" which incapacitated him for several weeks at detention camp. Later he was patient Tn hospital in Liverpool.
 Beckett is enthusiastic over the prospects of the allies being the Vic- tors in the war Life in the trenches while not as comfortable as the quiet of New England home, has it's in teresting features, and although the ':boys' are now shivering from the frigid atmospheric conditions they are looking forward with keen de- light to the baln1y weather soon to make its appearance.
 On his return to the United States, Beckett was apprised of the rumor that the Deutschland, the German submersible which twice crossed the ocean to this country, has fallen a victim to the alert English cruisers and is now held a prisoner of war in the harbor of Falmouth.

DEPT. OF BUILDING.

Boston, Feb. 13.-The esta ablishment of department to have general su- pervision of building construction was recommended to the legislature to- day by the special recess committee on building legislation. The commit tee also favored the enactment of a law designed to make uniform build- ing regulations adopted by cities and towns. Local regulations conflict with state laws to such an extent, the com mittee found, that builders of large projects have great difficulty in de- termining which method to follow.

ELECTION DAY

Interest today will center about the polling places and well it may for it is the duty of each and every voter to participate in the town election There is to be settled today the kind of town government we are going to have for the next two years. Norwich has experienced a most commendabl handling of its business townwise for the past two years. It is the kind that has taken into consideration the interests of the whole community. The affairs have been carefully and econ- omically administered and the result Is that there has been a record es- tablished which calls for a rousing en- dorsement on the part of those who have the chance to vote.
 But inasmuch as the townspeople have experienced efficient and atten- tive conduct of their business. there is a duty which devolves upon them not only to show their appreciation but to bring about a continuance of the same conscientious and faithful service that they have been receiving. This will be assured by the reelection of Selectmen Bailey and Bushnell and Ey the placing in office of the entire republican ticket. the members of which are committed to the same full filment of the trust that will be placed in them as are the selectmen.
 Every effort should be made to get out the vote aud if that Is done there can be little question but what those who stand for the best government Of the town will be elected. Vote the straight republican ticket and SUD- port those who have made good.

a step, but the governor of Minnesota and the public safety commission of that state have petitioned the senate calling for such action as the result of a speech which the senator recent ly delivered in St. Paul. and from all sections of the country there have nation from congress.
 What is perhaps as important as anything in this direction is the ac- tion taken by the League of Wtscon- gin Municipalities at a session held at Racine, with representatives in at tendance from all sections of that commonwealth. which demands his expulsion from the upper chamber of the national legislature. This league of course represents. indirectly if not directly, those who placed LaFollette in congress. It shows pretty con- c1usively what the feeling is in his own state concerning the methods which he has been using and the ut- terances which he has been making, and when a senator's own state goes back on him it is quite evident that he has ceased to represent the senti- ment of those for whom he is SUD- posed to be spokesman. It Is norsur- prfsing that this organization does not want to stand for such a specta cle as he has been making, and the quicker he can be removed from the position he holds the better it will be for the whole country. Public indig- nation against him is growing every day, and he has no one to blame but himself

LAMPSHADE BAG.

Bags have come to be important &C., cessories of dress. Nowadays a woman has as many bags as a man has pock- cts; but. of course. che is privileged to carry but one bag at a time. The creative ability has surely been over worked by some persons, according to the variety of the bags seen on -the market. There is scarcely a shape. a material, a design or a combination that has not been brought into serv- ice.
 The novel thing of the moment is the lampshade bag. This, as it's name implies, is made of 8 lampshade, the wicker variety. The shade, of course. is inverted, the narrow end forming the bottom of the bag. The inside of the shade is lined with silk of any col or one prefers-the handsome figured silks are very good for the purpose. Allow sufficient silk to form a deep bag. If the shade is not very deep the silk can make up for what the shade lacks in depth. Finish the top with a hem and through it run cords to form the handle. Weight the ends of the cords with bead tasseis and take one of the tassels at the bottom of the bag. The result vii be bag that looks as though it came from the ori- ent.

ARGENTINA ALERT.

Whether the placing of guards aboard the German vessels in the port of Buenos Aires is preliminary to the actual taking over of those ships and placing them at the disposal of the government is matter which will be determined in time. but it is made plain nevertheless that Argentina has had such experience with Germany that it does not intend to be caught mapping any more. It has been the policy of the imperial German gov ernment to take advantage of the neutrality Of every nation .as long as it could and Argentina has been no exception. The lesson which that country has had in connection with the German diplomatic relations is believed to be sufficient to prevent a recurrence, but Argentina is well ac- quainted with the course that has been used by Germany where a rup-. lure of those relations seemed imrni nent. I. knows that for some time :n advance of the actual severance of relations with Germany by this and other countries that German vessels liable to seizure were sunk or damaged in order to embarrass the country in whose ports they were To- cated.
 What happened elsewhere Argentina has good reason for believing would happen there. and even though that country has not actually broken off relations the guarding of the ships is wisely taken to forestall trouble cf this character and to protect itself. It would not be surprising. however. if it was found that the vessels had already been so damaged that they cannot be of immediate service.
