A place as immense as this can hardly expect to get away un- scathed but I guess they'll find us ready and waiting for them when they come. How long I shall be here, l do lot know. This branch of the ser vice is only in its infancy and at pres ent the organization is in a process of evolution. and it may be some time before we get definitely settled down to our real work in this war.

We have very little to do here except take our turn as commander of the guard occasionally. The men are working under the dl- rection of the construction officers, setting up hangars and such things.

EFFORT TO HAVE
 NAVY PATROL STREETS.
Rumor Has It That Certain City Off, cials Are Trying to Secure Guard from Submarine Base.

Certain city officials are making an effort to have the streets of Norwich patrolled by a guard from the sub marine base at the navy yard, is the rumor which has been in circulation for some days now. An attempt to verify the runor was made Friday night, but no one seems to know just who is at the head of the movement. One city official said Friday night that he believed the idea is a good one.
 New London has long enjoyed such aid from the government, and if Nor wich is accorded the same considera- ton it will save the necessity of en- Ilarging the local police force to a strength capable of handling the con stantly increasing number of visitors from our land and naval forces. It has been found by practice in other cities that guard composed of mem bers of the military forces nas better success in handling their comrades in arms and exerting quieting influence upon them than the local policemen, toward whom the men in uniform claim to owe no obedience and show a marked tendency to antagonize. If the city and the local police depart ment obtain the assistance of the au- thorities at the base there is every opportunity afforded for a better un- derstanding and more effective han ding of the problem confronting us through the union.
 But what are we going. to do if the base won't help take care of it's. own mem" is the question being asked upon learning about the rumored un- dertalzing. That is a difficult question l to answer. Norwich generally does 1 the right thing when the occasion arises, but we are quite as liable to act day late as early. Can there be any question in the mind of a thought ful resident that irrespective of whether aid is obtained by way of a sailor patrol or not that the local po- lice force should be increased? asked a city official. Continuing, he said:
 Tt is an era Of preparedness and l in its present condition our police Eforce is not prepaxed to handle the in- icreased demand made upon it by in- creased circulation of our own and neighboring towns. The police blotter
 tells story that cannot be contra dicted and shows that police business for each month exceeds that of the
 same month the previous year. The
 present force has always done and still continues to do excellent work
 but it has been facing an uphill fight for the last three or four years; with the odds constantly gaining, and its members growing more aged. Nov | war conditions heap on an additiona
 burden and the turning point i. reached. Will Norwich awake to the
 need and rise to meet it before the
 momentum becomes greater or vii
 she continue to sleep and let the forces
 of misconduct gain 8 head start?"
