BURGLARS GET INTO EAGLE CLOTHING STORE

Burglars entered the Eagle Clothing store at 152 Main street some time Saturday night and stole probably about s100 worth of clothing and about $50 or $40 from the cash register.
 The robbery was discovered when a clerk for William Trachtenberg, the proprietor. had occasion to go to the store on Sunday morning. The police were at once notified and are making an investigation.
 It was found that entrance had been effected by prying open a window at the rear of the building which is in a sheltered and dark spot, where Q
 man could easily work unseen. When the burglars went out they went by 1 way of the hallway on the second floor of the building and came out on i the steps that lead up to the Arcanum l club.
 A chisel which was used to open the cash register was left behind by the l burglars and also one pair of old socks which apparently had been taken off 1 so that new pair from the stock in the store might be donned. | The proprietors were not able to tell 1 the police exactly what was missing 1 They found the stock considerably dis
 arranged and said that evidently same | mems union suits of underwear were gone and several women's dresses also had been taken.

nIRERrY LOAN.

Norwich drove forward with total
 of $10S,100 on Saturday-Liberty day
 and Columbus day-for the fighting
 fourth Liberty loan.
 It was the best day in the past week and left the town needing just $S38,050 yet to reach the quota of S2, 260,00 that it is going to raise at the least That
 means a daily average for the rest, of this week of just S139,675.
 Saturdays results showed that Nor wich citizens were making response to the special appeal to make that day count substantially and there were 426 subscriptions turned in, which brought the total of subscriptions to 4,271 and 1 the total amount represented to $1,421,- 1 $50.
 1 On the third Liberty loan there were 1 10000 subscribers and it is evident 1 that there are still over 5.700 men and women in Norwich who bought bonds | in the previous Liberty loan who have yet to be heard from in this one. Fifty seven hundred people can count a lot I in the Norwich quota in the next six days
 ] Chairman William H. Allen said on 1 Sunday night that he did not want 1 Norwich to fall back into a take it. easy attitude because of the Saturday 1 and Sunday news over the reported l apparent acceptance by Germany Of l President Wilson's peace conditions. If peace were to come tomorrow and not another shot be fired, Uncle Sam would need every cent of the six bill l lion that he is calling for in this Lib 1 erty loan, and the people must see l that he has it.
 The chairman said that one inquiry that had been made of him had been regarding the amount of bonds eX- empt from taxation in the case of in vestment made in the bonds by trus- tee. He has received an authoritative
 answer on this point from the Boston headquarters, and it is that a trustee can have exemption up to S30.000 in Liberty bonds for each person inter- ested in the trust fund whose money IS invested in Liberty bonds.
 The womap's committee urgently re- quest all who have made out pledge cards and. have not been to the bank to make the first payment on thei1 Liberty bond to do this as soon as pos sible this week. The banks find many l cards sent in to them which the per sons who signed have neglected to gC and redeem. This must be done this week in order 10 count in the loan. On Saturday the woman's committed

ST. PATRICK'S PARISH
 TO BUY S1,0oo LIBERTY BOND

At the request of Rt. Rev. John Jo- seph Milan, bishop of this diocese, the offerings in the Catholic churches throughout the state Sunday were for the fourth Liberty loan. Although many in St. Patrick's parish were kept at home by reason of the prevalent malady, there were congregations of good size at the three masses of the day and the collections were so satis- factory that the rector, Rev. John H. Broderick, stated Sunday evening that a $1 900 bond will be purchased with parish funds in the name of St. Pat rick's church. as was done in the case of the third Liberty loan.
 At 1030 Sunday a low mass was read by Rev. Myles P Calvin, instead of the customary high mass. There was no singing by the choir, although Organist Frank L. Farrell played an impromptu list of hymns and impro- visations during the service. Follow ing the last gospel, according to St John, Mir. Farrell struck the opening chord of The Star Spangled Banner the congregation rising, and priest acolytes and people standing until the stanza was finished.
 The announcements were made and the gospel of the day-that of the twenty first Sunday after Pentecost
 Matt xviii. 23-25, the parable of the unjust debtor-was read by Rev. Peter J. Cuny. The attention of the congre- gation was called to a communication from the local Red Cross chapter con- corning obtaining cartons for sending Christmas gifts to the men in service With regard to health conditions, Fa- ther Cuny cautioned the people to ex- ercise every care not to incur or tc , carelessly spread the disease, the seri- 1 ousness of which is evidenced in the i long list of deaths during the past few
 weeks He announced that there i would be no vespers and that Sunday school had been suspended until healtI l conditions would warrant resumins
