UNION BLOCK SUIT
Against christus Terzis of Interest as
 Blocking Postoffiee Changes.

Tuesday morning at a hearing of the case of the Union Block company vs Christus Terzis ct al, Attorney J F. Carpenter, representing the plain tiff company, withdrew the suit. A new suit against Christus Terzis was instituted immediately.
 The hearing in tllH old suit was be- lore Justice George Potvin. He over ruled the plea in abatement that was entered last week by Attorneys Tor rey and Geisslersf representing Terzis.
 In the new action the suit is based exclusively on the ground that Terzis invalidated his lease. of a store in the Union block by permitting gambling therein. This charge is denied by the defendant.
 The next hearing in the matter is set for Tuesday. April 2S. At that time the matter will be considered on the ground presented in the new suit.
 This suit, though not important in itself. is of popular public interest be- cause of the fact that the store occu- pied in the Union block by Terzis is che that is wanted as part of the space in the building to be used for tie new postoffice quarters. a-
 The longer the suit remains unde- cided. the longer will the owners of sAtO DuAiu4HE us deldyeu III HLIlng II up for use. by the government. It is stated that the defendant is prepared to go the limit in protecting his interests in the premises. He has lease with about three years to run and will fight election to the last ditch, it is stated, unless he is al- lowed fair compensation for. prospec- tive losses. that he feels will result by being removed from a store where he has established a profitable busi- ness.

WILL LIMANTIC

mantle is to go over the top and win the right to fly an honor flag"
 He first introduced Major Giddings, who recently returned from the west ern battle front.
 Two questions, said Major Giddings, had been asked him since he came back from Europe. What do they think of President Wilson over there, and how many men have we got over there? President Wilson in Europe is looked upon as the greatest man in the world, but the second question cannot be answered, for that lis just what the Germans want to find out, He spoke in praise of the wonderful efficiency of the British navy, remain ing mistress of the seas. He spoke of internal conditions in England, not a private motor car running, and not 8 flag to be seen flying in France or England. One of the first things that strike in England is the women at work, driving war motors, trolley cars, running elevators, working in many factories exclusively instead of men. In France the women are not so evil dent as taking the mems places. In England no woman is wearing mourn ing, according to common consent, but France is af1utter with black. England is raising money. West Hartlepool, which was bombarded by submarines, subscribed in a week $1.87 per capita, which would mean about $2 ,000, ,000 for city the size of Willimantic.
 To the credit of the British people, they have practically turned over their securities to the government. The peoples savings have also been turned over to the government. Now they are asking us to furnish money, not f7 hnl a1n f1r1f fr 1Af aJTys- selves.
 Major Giddings said that there was no butter or sugar served in English hotels, and he showed the small en- velope used for the sugar ration in England. He said there was no dodg- ing the rules on meatless days and the war bread was something you could build a wall out of. Potatoes | fruit and milk are scarce Seriously Major Giddings said, you can't get enough to eat in England, yet the | English people are smiling over it all London at night is a city of dark ness, said Major Giddings in speaking of the air raids, and he described the air raid shelters, the alarm at the l time of a raid, the emptying of the 1 theatres. He saw an air raid the first night he arrived in London.
 The latter part of Major Giddfngs 1 address was a vivid description o1
 visits to Messines ridge, Ypres 1 Wytschaete, Arras, Bapaume ana
 Peronne, and last of all to Paris, where
 the French people are saving woot
 and saying nothing. He was in Pari:
 during the first two days Lombard
 ment of Paris by the monster gun.
 He mentioned the marvellous accom-
 plishments of the Americans in France giving as an instance the building 0
