CAMP DEWEY BOYS
 IN PERIL IN STORM

After being stranded and storm
 tossed several hours, rescued by light house keepers and naval boats and lowed back to Camp Dewey. ten ca detS and two officers of the junior na
 val reserves are now with their 30e comrades on a hike to Watch Hill where they expect to remain two days They spent Thursday night at Groton Center.
 Paymaster Lloyd Hooper and Engi- neer Raminger in the formers auXil- iary sloop Estelle. with three motor boats in tow and ten cadets. left Camp Dewey Wednesday morning and. went around to Mystic to have the boats oYerhauled. Homeward bound the fio- tilla left Mystic about five o'clock and opposite Noank they ran into the storm. The cadets managed some how to get aboard the Estelle. as the smaller boats were tossed about in the hurricane like eockleshells.
 Soon they were enveloped in dark ness and the boys all donned life pre- servers while Hooper and RaTninger stood by. expecting every minute to be dashed on the rocks. At the height of the storm the engine of the Estelle broke down and the boat was then at l the mercy of the sea. Being an aux | Hilary, a sail was raised. but no one
 vas able to manipulate it, and the canvas was lowered. About that time l the storm subsided almost as quickly as it came up. The little fleet drifted I away out of its course, and as MT Hooper blew a horn he finally heard a I voice come out of the darkness. Ir
 relating his experience yesterday he said it was the most welcome voice
 he ever heard. It seems that MT l Burkhart, the keeper of the North Dumping lighthouse had heard the
 horn and put out in a small motor
 boat. With a MT. Smith. a visiting l lighthouse keeper, they brought along Ia can Of gasoline, but that was not
 needed. Then MT. Burkhart volunteer
 ed to take MT. Hooper over to the na-
 val calling ship. which he did. The officer in charge very kindly got per
 mission for the naval patrol boat Mag
 istrate in charge of Boatswafn An
 thony to come down from New Lon | don and rescue the Junior Naval Re
 serve fleet. The Magistrate reached the strand. | ed boats in record time and there was
 a shout of joy if ever there was ons from tae ten cadets who were expert encing their first storm at sea. Int Magistrate lowed the boats back tc the naval calling ship The officer in charge again commu
 nicated with the commandant of the New London naval station. and ht sent down the Nightingale, Submarine
 Patrol 525. with orders to tow thu Junior Naval Reserve boats sever miles up the Thames to Camp Dewey
 which was reached at half-past two o'clock Thursday morning. All hands through the press, wish to heartily thank the naval officials and crew. and, lighthouse keepers for coming t their assistance. One of the crew or

SALSBERRY ESCAPES FROM JAIL HERE

Samuel Arthur Salsberry, 40, of Preston who has been confined in the county jail in this city since the lat- ter part of May awaiting his trial for the murder of Constable William Kin ney and Herman Chapman of Preston escaped from the jail about o'clock on Thursday afternoon and is still missing. With him went Albert R. Wells colored, whose home is in Washington, D. C., and who was serv- ing a sentence for highway robbery committed in this city last Novem- Der.
 A chair standing under a window from which one of the iron bars had the outside of the window, and 9 broken rosebush underneath it showed the path of the prisoners escape. So far as is known they were not seen as they left the jail grounds on the Cedar street side of the building and they had probably been gone an hour before it was discovered that they were missing.
 Jailer Oscar H. Main who has been fiat on his back in bed with luEnbago for the past week insisted on getting up for a short time as soon as he heard of the escape and put the ma chinery in motion to recapture the prisoners by informing the Norwich police. Sheriff Sidney A. Brown Brown at New London, the police depart ments of surrounding cities, and Con- stable H. E. Draper and Geo~e H. Stanton of this city. Sheriff Brown came to the jail early in the eveins and took charge of the search for the two men.
 While Jailer Main Ii; been disabled the jail work has been in charge of Turnkey William J. Simpson. Jailer l Main has been under the doctors care 1 and has not left his room for over 3 week and this shortage of supervis- l ing officials has evidently given the 1 two men their chance to work out the | plans to escape.
 i For some time past Salsberry ant 1 Wells have been given the occupation i of caning chairs, doing this work in { corridor on the Cedar street side O i the building, which has four or flv' | iron barred windows in it about eigh l feet above the floor. They were tn only two prisoners who were kept ol ] this job, and while he was sick Jaile | Main has given the turnkey specia 1 Instructions to keep frequent watcl l of the two men when they were ou 1 of their cells and at work.
 In some way or other, Safsberry l who is regarded as the brains of tn l combination, as he is a skilful me | chanic and used to handling tools
 must have watched his chance t
 climb up into the window sill and wor
 at saving off one of the one and

acid test of our capacity for saai-

acid test of our capacity for saTi- flee.
 There are quite a number Of things about the administration Of the food and fuel and transportation problems which do not strike me as either necessary or well considered. Doubt less you feel much the same way. There are reguIations which seem to me needlessly irritating, almost ab- surdly unreasonable. You know of others which seem stupid to you. Both of us are willing to make any req soma ole sacrifice and bear any req sonable burden and endure any | reasonable loss,-if we can see an
 adequate reason for it.
 But when we can't,-ah, then's
 when the nippers pinch and we feel | inclined to squeal!
 Nevertheless, we've got to shut of
 the squeal before it utters itself and
 cork up the criticisms before it is | spoken.
 For the reason, among others, i that there are over hundred million people in this country, no two of whom think exactly alike about every thing: no two of whom have exactly the same needs: no two of whom have 1 exactly the same habits of life. The | government has to consider, not your and my individual conditions, but the general situation among the whole hundred millions. Moreover, the gov ernment is composed of fallible hs1- man beings, no wiser or brighter than the rest of us. In trying, no matter
 how faithfully, to even up some basis
 of regulation which shall best iii
 average conditions, officials are al
 most certain to make some mistakes : and cause some wholly needless an
 noyance. They. wouldn't be human Ii
 they didn't. But we, that is to say : the majority of us, acting freely ana
 on ample time for consideration, put
 the present government in charge Whether we think, now. that they'ri the best choice we could have mad i does not matter. It's our own gov ernment, of our own selection and iti ' not only our privilege to lie in th' 5 bed Of our own making, but it's eu 7 duty as loyal citizens to shut up ind 3 ing fault with it.
 } IL is possible that we, you and l might make the muddle even wors . If we had charge of it.
 AS we are not in charge, and a Q those who are hold their power laE g fully and rightfully, our clear duty ]
 to take what is passed out to us an s make the best we can of it. Later Of t at the proper time we think best t t change the personnel of the govern = ment- that will be our privilege an y right. In the meantime, it's up to U S td take our medicine and loo e THE FARMER.

SOLDIERS AND SAu ORS

The following letter was received by Albert Bromley of Voluntown, 8 veteran Of the Civil War. from his grandson, Private John R. Monsees, woh is at present somewhere in France.
 Somewhere in France
 July, 1918. Dear Grandpa: I know yoa would like to be here with me if you were younger, as in the olden days, when you did the same for the flag as am doing now. and no matter where I am, I will always say There is No Flag like our own Red, White and Blue" and will always be true to my country the same as you were. The French people are certainly great fighters and deserve a lot of praise and. they are like a lot of brothers to us American Boys, who have come SC far away from home and loved ones to help them.
 I suppose everything is the same as ever in little old Voluntown, aRi hope to hear from you soon, as know you think of me over here, once 1T q while. There is only one thing miss over here and that is Louise Has she been to see you since I have beer gone?

watch and warned him if there was any chance of interruption The wln- dow sill could be reached by using chair and stepping up on the steam pipes that run along the wall.
 When the bar had been sawed through, which was a cleanly done job, the iron bar was loosened from it's socket at the bottom by working it back and forth. leaving a space about IS inches wide through which a slim man could squeeze his body side- ways and dropping to the ground out side.
 How Salsberry could have got any tools to work with was mystery to Jailer Main. When he has had visit ors he has always talked with them in the presence of a turnkey and through a fine mesh wire scren at the front of his cell. His wife and chil- dren are still in this city, living on North Main street, between Sixth and Seventh streets. and have visited him.
 When the two men left they took their tools with them and also car ried away the iron bar, as nothing could be found of that outside the jail.
 It was reported during the evening to the police station that two men answering the description of the prisoners had been seen going through the arch" on the Central Vermont railway tracks at the Falls about 4.3o o'clock, As there are freight trains passing along the line frequently all through the afternoon, it is considered probable that they were on the look out for this means of getting away from this vicinity. Up to an early hour this (Friday) morning no other report of the fugitives had been re- ceived
 saIsberry has shown before that he knows how to travel by the overland route. as he made his way to Eas- Liverpool, O., last May after he shof i Constable Kinrey and Herman Chap I man on May 6th. and was not cap tured till 1s days later.
 | The description of him given out b, 1 the authorities is as follows: Fort. l years old, 140 pounds, feet inches 1 thin light moustaehe, heel on righ shoe higher than left, limps on righ ] foot. right leg artificial. quicS nimbl 1 walker, bald headed, dark suit, ligh
 cap.
 l The description of Wells the negro i is as follows: Age 21. very black 13 1 pounds, feet 5 1-2 inches. shor black moustaehe, dark trousers an l vest, dark cap.
 l He was about completing his sen l tence for highway robbery on Nov. last, when he held up Benjamin Lavi 1 with a revolver at Lavin's store o Spring street, but was scared ava when Lavin smashed out windo7 and shouted for help.

The Farmer Like the Soldier Must Serve the Government

(Wriiten Specially for The Builetin.)
 I read a short statement from Mir. Bernard Baruch, the other day. in which Earueh warned the American people that they were not really feel ing the pinch Of war, yet, but were very likely to, ere long.
 Mr. Baruch is the real head of the government controlled industries of the country. He is described by one Washington correspondent "the most powerful man in the U. s. below the president This does not seem unlikely. since the industries now con- roiled by the government, either di- reetly or indirectly, about eover the whole field. And if he is the real head of that control as stated, his power is certainly extensive, to put | it mildly.
 As matter of fact, anyone who reads the papers with fair intelligence knows that we Americans have not yet begun to suffer as the rest of the | civilized world has suffered and if suffering. While much of the stuff reported in roundabout ways from Germany cannot be taken as exact

GOVERNMENT AUTOS
 PRESENT A PROBLEM.

Motor vehicles bearing the insignia of the federal military forces and subject only to their jurisdiction are causing so much trouble to the motor vehicle department of the state that something is going to be done about it, says Motor Vehicle Commissioner R. B. Stoeckel. The rapid increase in numbers of such machines and the lack of consideration for Connecticut laws by some of the drivers, he said, makes a difficult problem, for instead of carrying the metal markers the machines are supposed to carry, many of them have only pasteboard mark ed ''U. s. A." and it apparently opens the way for anyone who wants to speed through Connecticut in hurry to do so with a fair degree of inn punity by simply sticking a pasteboard "U. s. A." on the automobile.
