Restoration of Railroad Service De- sired-Hieh School Honor Roil- Silver Wedding Anniversary.

The Stonington Board of Trade has been asked to take up the matter of restoration of railroad train service, simply ask for return of what has been taken away, and which would be as much benefit to Westerly, perhaps, as to Stonington, lso the assistance of the board of trade ill the border town has been sought. The special train is to have that west bound train due at 1922, and the east bound through train due at 1.43 p. m., to stop at the Stonington station as heretofore. These trains were of great conven- fence to patrons who desired to go to New London or Westerly and beyond. It has heen suggested that the west bound train due in Westerly at 5.02 p. m.. also be included and that the railroad company be also urged to have that train stop.. at Stonington Every day passengers on that train get off at Westerly and take the trol- ley to Stonington.

saloons there and that many go to

have been made by Miss Alma L. Smith,
principal of School No. ?. Gustav
Schmidt. chief of police. has detailed
men to investigate the charges.
Miss Smith said that 200 OF the 500
youngsters in her school admitted
having obtained intoxicants in saloons
or having bought a brand Of cough
drops sold by local drug stores which
contain 81 per cent of grain alcohol,
in addition to ether. The cough drops
were known among the children as
white whiskey." she said. All the
pupils examined by her were under
fourteen years and a majority of them
girls, Miss Smith said. They were
picked out in the classrooms. accord
ing to the principal. because they
were stupefied and '"some even in
toxicated."
One little girl ten years old was
found asleep at her desk, Miss smith
complained. She said she detected the
odor of liquor on the child. who broke
down on being questioned and ad-
mitted that she had spent the pre-
vious day, which was Sunday, stand
ing on a box behind the bar in her
fathers saloon and selling beer.
THE children are so doped at times
that they don't know what they are
doing" said Miss Smith They come
to school and fall asleep and some of
them don't really wake up until just
before the time to go home. 1t Is
terrible to work here trying to make
good citizens OF these children and
then have them fed with intoxicants
and told by their parents that the
school authorities are crazy to advise
against such things"

of A. Bruce Bielaski that a food or

man cause, had been organized at Mr..
Cntermyer's home in 1915:
II shall be in Washington at the
Treasury Tuesday and ask the oppor-
tunity to appear before your commit
tee then or at your later convenience
TO explain my connection with mat
ters,about which you are ,inquiring.
Il will submit q written statement
for the record. IL you prefer. / request
that meantime there be noted my re-
spectful protest against the use OF

pillorying and misrepresenting loyal

ing in 1915 Joined q movement which
was supported by the authorities and
given wide publicity by the press at
the time to secure aid OF the State and
Postoffice Departments in furnishing
milk to starving German babies.
The same thing was being done for
French babies. and by some Of the
same people. including myself. did
not know OF the circumstances, but II
now appears that the milk committee
was not organized at our home, but
at the home of DR.. H. J. Wolf. and
that in 1915 Mrs. Untermyer committed
the heinous crime thereafter Of not
only permitting but Of actually abet-
ting a meeting at her home to devise
ways and means OF urging upon our
State and postoffice departments that
they secure the consent Of Great Brit
ain to the lifting Of its blockade in
so far as to permit dried milk to lie
sent to the starving babies Of Ger
many. Our Government was then in
sisting that the blockade was con
trary to international law. and a per-
sonal appeal was made to rresi bht

Mr.. Untermyer says that the or
ganization that Is furnishing large
shipments of milk to babies of France
was and Is still receiving my support.

SIS Fifth avenue, in this city, free of
rent, at a cost to me of over $4,000 a
year for rent and Advertising. 1t Is
having no trouble in feeding French
babies.
Il ask whether. in all fairness, It Is
right to permit such activities to be
characterized and widely advertised
by the hated name of propaganda,
and thus to mislead the public into
suspecting the motives OF citizens
whose public spirit they would ap-
plaud IL they knew the facts"

my parapet, on October IL, near

all right again in about six months
