some talk to the effect that the selec-
men wish to cut down the annual ex-
pense and may do away with that Of

general opinion about the town is that
the board would make a good move
by re-appointing Mr.. Ritchie, who has
always been regarded as an efficient
fficer In fact he is considered the
most capable of the present guardians
of the law in the town There seems
to be no real reason why he should
be removed. and MANY persons have
expressed their desire Of seeing him
back this former position. The re-
port of Mr.. Ritchie's removal caused
a great deal of comment when 1T was
first announced.

The list of prominent speakers for

fish hall, Kensington, has been an
nounced by the Berlin committee of
the State Council of Defense. The

gan, of Thompsonville, a national Of
ficer of the Knights of Colum bus. Mr..
Mulligan is a prominent public speak
er and is we'll known in this vicinity,

eral occasions. The opportunity of
hearing so we'll known a man as Mr..

deal of interest in the town. DR.. Va
1erSR Parker, of Hartford, will also be
one of the prominent people to attend
and address the meeting. DR.. Parker
is a member of the State Council Of
Defense and the state committee on
hygiene. Many local residents have
heard DR.. Parker speak and will no
doubt avail themselves of the oppor-
turSty of hearing her again. The third
speaker of the evening will be Leon
ard Hough, of Collinsville. Mr.. Hough
has only recently returned from
France, where he was a member of
the American Ambulance Corps. He
will tell of his observations and eXpe-
Hough was stationed where some of
the thickest fighting of the war took
place, and his address will no doubt
proxe intensely interesting to his hear
ers. This will be an excellent OPP
portunity of hearing about the real
conditions in Europe from the lips of
one who has actually been there and
who has seen conditions as they really
y are.
The rally will be one of many which

System Of Wires to Flash Hour; Wire

Ineffective.

With the American Army in France
Jan. 4.-(Correspondenc of The AS
ISOLATED Press) Correct time soon
Will be transmitted to the entire
American ENpeditionary Force over it's
system of telegraph lines. At present
wireless stations each day at a certain
hour pick from the air figures flashed
from Paris by which the clocks of the
army are synchronized. This method
does not insure absolute accuracy.
When the last links of the tele-
graph system are connected, each day
at IL o'clock a simultaneous signal
will be sent to every station SO that
through the existing zone and, later
on, at the front as WE'LL clocks and
watches will show the same time. This
standardization is desirable under
present conditions and is an absolute
necessity with troops at the front
when, for instance, orders may spe-
city that some operation is to be car
rled out at one point at a certain time
and another operation at another
point at another time. The success Of
both operations may depend upon
them being launched virtually on the
second.
Miles upon miles of telegraph lines
strung on poles labeled ~. S. A. now
stretch through France. Ihey may
be found running to base points, zig
tagging through the instruction zone
over hills, through a valley, along a
roadside. On some of the poles there
are double cross-beams supporting in
many cases as many as ten wires.

ators and central exchanges as we'll as

British Railroad Control Success.
London, Jan. 20.-British railways
which have been under state control
since the beginning Of the war, have
been operated through an executive
committee of general manag gers OF
railways, The working under one
control has resulted in many econo-
mics and proved of great advantage
to the state. Under the original agree
ment made with the companies, they
are guaranteed the same net receipts
as for 1913. Afterward the companies
were given allowances in respect to
new capital employed. Irish railways
did not come under state control UNI
til 1915.
