FRENCH FIGHTING
 BAND HAS RECORD
Personnel Includes Several
 Wounded in Actual Battle

That the personnel of the French Army Band, which is to give the con- cert at the Fox theater Monday eve nlng, September 16, is of the highest military and artistic talent is shown clearly by official data received today by Earl Kisselbrack, clerk of the War Bureau. A more distinguished company of military heroes has never been invited to New Britain. and the fact that this Is the first city in Con- necticut, which will receive the band. makes it supremely important that the proper reception shall be ac- corded them. New Britain will set the standard for the other cities to live up to. It is essential to this citys interests, being such a strong manu- tacturing center too, that the French visitors shall receive the best possi- ble impressions. The manufacturers committee with a man of George P. Hart's caliber at the head, may be trusted to look after this feature. F. R. GilpatriC, who has charge of rais- ing the money to meet the expenses, should receive every possible encour- agement as it is essential that suf1i- cient funds should be on hand. Every cent from every ticket sold, will go to the French Army Y. M. c. A.
 Chairman H. V. Camp of the public ity committee, got out the posters to- day to advertise the band, and they will be put up in the store windows about the city and also on the fac tory bulletin boards. Any one desir- ing to use these posters to help ad- Vertise the band may obtain them at his office, rooms, 305-6, New Britain National Bank building.
 Chairman E. N. Humphrey of the committee on decorations renews his appeal to the people to display the French and American flags in honor of the bands visit September 16. Nothing will warm the hearts of the French war heroes 10 the city as much as to be greeted hy their own precious tri-color from the business places and the houses.
 Here is the information that MT. Kisselbrack received today from the State Council of Defense in regard to the war heroes:

of the firing as the German subma-

tivities of the submersibles were
picked up by the Grecian soorl>aftcr

"shortly after we came. olt: around

e. t. Page, eve picked up wireless
telling OF the sinking Of the schooner
Isabel B. Wiley. Two hours later we
received message from the steamer
Carolina saying she was being gunred
by submarine, but giving no posi-
ton. 1t was not long after this that
we heard heavy gunire to the east
ward and decided to run back toward
the Delaware BreakWater."
Captain Page was puzzled by
third wireless message, sent IN Ia
miliar code which read:
"Three boats containing fifty men
from sunken ships twenty miles
southeast of Barnegat." The message
was not signed and there was nothing
to indicate its source. It was recalled
here that three boatloads of seamen
who had been held on submarine Tor
several days were released by the enc
nv late Sunday afternoon off the New
Jersey coast and it was suggested
that the message might have been
sent out by the submarine itself.
Captain Page kept his vessel well
in shore and late Sunday night when
a thunderstorm came up, accompanied
by heavy fog, resumed his voyage.

arrangement, at time when only an

DRAW FINES ON
CHRISTMAS DAY
william Sanders Makes Special Trip
to the Station TO Give All
Holiday Greetings

William Sanders of this city i'm
bibed copiously last night of the
liquid that sparkles and then de-
cfded to take a trip'.to the police
station to wish all members of the
police department Merry Christ
mas.
When Sanders first elclered the
police department he met Patrol
nan William Epperson and told the
officer the purpose of his visit. The
patrolman told Sanders that he was
Santa Claus and would take him
through the station and introduce
him to all the force. This was done
and then Sanders was introduced to
a police cell where he stayed until
this morning.
On being arraigned before d. ].
Cleland, acting police magistrate,
Sanders was still in happy mood
and wished the Judge a Merry
Christmas. However, his honor
beat him to it by saying Christ
mas gift" and then proceeded to
fine Sanderson $40 on a charge of
drunkenness.
This was a good start for the
magistrate, but the next case was
too much for the tender hearted
Judge.
John Williams was arraigned on
a charge of drunkenness. He is
well along in years and informed
the judge that all Of his boys saw
service in France and one was kill
ed in action, and in addition to this
a byother had just died in Mime
apo1is. The man is well known by
the police, and the Judge SAID:
John, you have no boys and that
story about your brother seems
rather familiar, but any way it's
a good story and you may 60"
The next up was Bob Hopkins,
who paid a fine OF 81 on a charge
OF drunkenness. Hipkins had a
watch that he said was not his and
the police are trying TO find the
owner.

THIRD ROBBERY

Result of Frequent Tales
and No Clues.

Mrs. A. Thornton, 229 Sixteenth
street, has reported TO the Rock
Island police the third case Of rob-
berry at her home in the last few
weeks.
Mrs. Thornton at first reported
having her purse snatched, later
she reported being tied in chair
in her home by a burglar while
other persons were in the house
and being robbed of SO and she now
says that a burglar. after striking
her in her home last night, took
the rings from her fingers.
The officers have failed to find
any clues and are becoming incred-
ulous.
Some robbery reports by men Of
late have been looked upon with
suspicion by the police. In several
cases fairly large sums were re-
ported taken while the owners were
under the influence OF liquor. Off
GERS do not overlook the fact that a
holdup makes a good alibi for a

strangely disappeared.

orderly conduct. Nellie Swanson,

May Brown and Robert Henry were
fined SIS each on a similar charge.

of the laying of a double track by
the street railway company, one
side only being used for traffic

that a street car was moving slowly
in an easterly direction on the
track nearest the south curb, and
that an employee of the defendant
drove a laundry truck in such a
manner the plaintiff was struck,
knocked against a pile of bricks,
and then run over by the truck.
James Hurley has brought suit

ing, and that while he was passing
