SHIFT POLICE
DESK SERGEANTS
New Arrangement at City
Hall to Become Effective
Wednesday Night.

Further reorganization OF the
South Bond police department took
place Tuesday with the exchange Of
two sergeants I'm posts OF duty. Be
ginning Wednesday night Sergt
James r. Shock. recently denoted
from the rank OF captain along with
Former Capts. William Cordier and
Guy Bunker. viii be stationed al
the sergeant's desk at police head
quarters and Sergt. Peter Rudynsh
who has been desk sergeant will
take Sergt Schock's place in tho
southern part OF the city.
No charges OF any kind have been
brought against either OF the two
men concerned in the change. The
shift is understood 20 be an object
lesson TO the rest of the force that
any man who uses any brains or
initiative In the duties OF his office
had best beware.
Since the office OF police captain
was abolished some time ago, any
police business outside Of the max
Ing or arrests has been impossible
except through use OF the telephone
connecting Chief Kline's house and
tho station.
All records and data are careful
~ locked up when the chief leaves
in the afternoon, and the men on
duty at night have been gradually
deprived of all authority.
No Visits.
The ranking heads" have ordered
that the outside doors leading to the
cell room be locked at night, and
no relative or friend OF any prison
er is allowed TO see the prisoner
without the consent OF the chief.
Although there are now ten SER
geants in the department. none Of
them have been detailed as SER
geant detectives as yet. 1t is under
stood that the board OF safety re-
Gently wished 10 place a sergeant at
he head OF the department of iden-
tif1cation, to have charge Of the Ber-
tillon and finger print systems. but
this WIS overruled by Chief Kline,
who is not in favor Of modern pol

"BoOkie" Case.
One Of the incidents which has
caused some dissension in the ranks
Of the police force lately was the
passing OF the buck for the disap-
pearance of the evidence against
the two bookies who were arrested
at the Interstate fair races.
Although the police chief recent
" handed back 1925 to George
Hosler, although the money was
seized as evidence when the Whist
club was raided, ne caused quite a
commotion about the non-appear-
ance in court of the evidence against
the bookies. Both of the book
makers were convicted without the
books" being brought into court as
evidence, but Kline made a person
al investigation into the case.
He found out that no evidence
had been turned over TO the desk
sergeant when the two men were
brought in. However. il is under
stood that this affair had a great
deal 20 do with the shift OF ser
geants which is TO be made today.

GERMAN GIRLS TREATED NICELY
 BY AMERICANS

With The American Forces in Ger many, Nov. 21.--By The Associated Press).--Among the civilians in the American occupied area compliments originating with the German men, are often heard to the effect that the American soldiers are spelling the German girls by heaping luxuries upon them and by spending money recklessly for presents, wines and good things to eat.
 Since the anti-fraternizat tion regu- lation was revoked by army head quarters several weeks ago the cafes in Coblenz have been crowded each night with soldiers and frauleins, and many of the German men have open ly asserted that the Americans were entirely too cOnsiderate of the Ger man women and girls.
 Cafes in Coblenz and other towns in the zone held by United States troops have been doing lately the greatest business of their existence One in Coblenz which is conducted by two Americans who recently ob- tained their discharge from the a fr, saeats twenty two hundred persons Yet on Sunday afternoons and even- ings, the crowd becomes so great, Americans and Germans all together, that on several occasions the military police had to be called to maintain order.

FEUDS PREVAIL IN MONTENEGRO"
 DESPITE WAR

Cettinje. Montenegro, Nov. 21.- (By The Associated Press) ).-While The Allied statesman at Paris are de- iberating on the fate of the nations of Europe, Montenegro continues its century-long customs of feuds, ven- dettas, shooting frays and internal strife, and seems outwardIy to give little attention to the fate reserved for it by the Great Powers.
 There is a semblance of a local government, but Serbia exercises a preponderating influence in the af- fairs of the country.
 There is a faction of the people which desires a return of King Nicho- las and the restoration of the mon archy. There is constant strife be- tween the royalists and the republi cans, the disorders usually taking the form of fatal shooting combats in the mountains. Feeling runs high. The republicans accuse the monar- chists of hiring members of the Comi- tadje, desperate mountaineers who re- spect neither law nor life, to kill the leaders of their party. These shooting and stabbing affairs usually take place in sections where the royalists are the strongest. The casualties sometimes are serious. Not a day
 
 attached to the Red Cross Mission at Cettinje, Podgoritza and Ko1acin are called upon to treat victims of these encounters. At Podgoritza there have been as high as 20 wounded Comitadjes at the Red Cross hospita; at one time.
 There also are occasional border fights between the Montenegrins and the Italians and Albanians. The feel ing between these races is extremely violent. When The Associated Press correspondent was passing through the small frontier town of Plavn:tza, at the head of Lake Scutari, there was a Inassed company of 250 Mon tenegrins preparing to attack an Italian garrison on the opposite side of the lake.
 Many of these Montenegrins, who were poorly clothed and equipped were mere boys of 16 and IT. Some of the older soldiers had been to the United States and boasted American citizenship. All professed a desire to give up fighting and return to America. The attack on the Italians took place the next day, and many casualties on both side are reported.
 Slightly smaller than the State of Connecticut in area, Montenegro has a population of less than quarter of million. Even this small number find it difficult to get enough out of the soil to support life. The country is rocky, desolate and barren. It might be called a huge pile of stones
 An American visitor remarked that it's national emblem should be a tombstone. Its mountains for the most part are woodless and bare, and it's valleys are made productive only by careful husbandry of the soil and intensive farming.
