LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE
 WAS POSTPONED
Delay ia Arrival of Application Blanks Causes Campaign to Be Set Back Two Days.

The actual start of the drive for the Third Liberty loan in this city, which was to have commenced Sat urday was unavoidably postponed be- cause of the late arrival of the appli- cations for the bonds
 There is great deal more interest manifested for this loan than for the two previous ones and success seems to be certain. Whether this is due to the fact that the war has been brought much closer to the people by the leaving of the local men, or be- cause it offers better inducements as the term is only ten years.
 The drive will be in charge of H. C. Lathrop, who has managed both of the previous campaigns. The woman's committee is headed by Mrs. Frank P Fenton, while the local Boy Scouts will make a house to house canvass as in the past.
 MT. Lathrop reports that many peo- pie have asked for information re- gardfng the bonds, and the great mum Der makes the outlook more brighter
 The topic of the bonds was lightly touched on at the big war rally a! the Town bali Saturday evening, but all plans have been held up by the non arrival of the applications.

John Neary, about 50, mill workers was instantly killed at Dayville Satur- day night when he was struck by the boat train, at the Main street cross ing. The body was cut to pieces and scattered along the tracks almost to the point where the trolley bridge crosses the steam, road far below the station. The body was so badly mutilated that recognition of the man was very difficult. His face was en- tirely torn away, his arms and legs cut off, head crushed to a pulp aid he was otherwise torn to bits.
 The body was viewed by Coroner Arr thur 6. Bill and afterwards was re- moved to the undertaking rooms of Louis E. Kennedy, on Furnace street, Danielson.
 Neary has been transient worker at cotton mills in the villages in the northern part of Killingly and up to five weeks ago had been working at the Pineville mill, above Ballouville, as a weaver. As was customary. he gave up his work after a time, was paid of and went away. Since then not much has been heard of him.
 Coroner Bill said Sunday afternoon that, apparently, the man was intoxi- cated, at the time when he met such a frightful death and added another to the list of fatal accident that has occurred at crossings in Dayville dur ing the past three years.
 An effort was being made Sunday to get in touch with sisters of Neary's who are said to be resident in Paw tucket and Lonsdale.

 Young men who were in the regular army, naval or national guard service on June last and. by reason of their enlistment, did not register and have since been discharged from the ser vice for any cause, must register with the local board at once. Failure to register may mean serious difficulty for them and possibly almost immediate induction into service. There are a considerable number of young men in towns of this district who did not register on June because of being in the service. Some of them | have been told, and some told by army officers that they need not register after discharge, but this is not true. They must register, if they have not done so. or accept without complaint

Shifting the Burden
Appears That the Telephone Company
Business Men and Residents To Pay the Charge the
Government To Pay.
By EARL GOODWIN.

The telephone company is preparing to unload a war
burden to the shoulders of ese and District build
ing reporters to think the heaviest part of the load
Will be placed the shoulders of the unprotected public
Let me call attention again to the fact that the greatest
burden the telephone company carrying has been imposed
by the offices of the War Department Navy Department
Council OF National Defense and the various new organza
lions created since the opening of hostiEties.
All OF the new wiring, the switchboards the
operators the need for training employees and the great
increase in the capital account of the telephone company has
been ENTIRELY due to Government activities.
The big rush of business the poor service the general
dissatisfaction has been the result of Government business
and official calls
The telephone company has not charged the Govern
ment for its service anywhere the rate
charged for business and household service If this Govern
ment business should be charged for equab believe the
rates to the city at large would be high enough for proper
income to the company.
certainly trust that before the Public Utilities Com
mission authorizes higher rates it will make it is not
putting burden the shoulders of the business and
residents of the city, burden which the offices of the Gov
eminent should bear.
The question of Government control is another matter
It does not possible that the telephone company will
jump at the opportunity to be by the Posoce Depart
ment the telephone company conscientious obector
to Government control
Government ownership operates for service and not
for dividends and that's something that will perhaps
in the millennium.

Mrs. Wilson Woodrow Says Discipline Improves All Minds

professional women are also thor
oughly trained because the exigen-
cieS of their work demand it, but
there is large, intermediate class,
composed either of the wives or
daughtrs of well-to-do men. These
have nothing much to do in life eX-
cept amuse themselves, and 1t is
they who suffer most from the
tiCkleneSs of fortune.
] read this incident recently in a
book by Helen Fraser, who is an
authority on the work done by
women in the war:
"On one occasion in France in
an air raid enemy bombs came
very near some girl signalers.
They behaved splendidly, and
some one suggested it should be
mentioned in the Order of the
Day. No., said the commanding
officer, we don't mention soldiers
in orders .or doing their duty
1t was fine tribute and one
which they had justly won.
