SELECTMAN CALLS , SPECIAL MEETING Mill Consider School Expenses on September 4
 ADDITIONAL SUM NEEDED
Three Service Men and Three Citizens
 Chosen to Arrange for Celebra ton
 for Vetcrans-Break Into Fishing Club-Arrcsts Expected.

A special meeting has been called for September 4 at 8 o'clock by the selcctmen to consider and take action on further appropriation for tie payment of school expenses for the re- 'mainder of the fiscal year. This meet ing is the result of a petition signed by 20 of the legal voters of the town. A short time ago John T. Molumphy president of the school board ap- preached MT. filling to have him call a, town meeting to take action on the matter of an appropriation for school expenses. He was advised by Mr. AL ling to circulate a petition for the calling of such a meeting and the matter would then be given attention MT filling, let it be understood that he did not actually refuse to call a meeting as was stated previously but rather he advised a, petition in order that there might not be a confusion of issues. Calling a meeting from a ver- bal order would not prevent voters from bringing up any matter they wished to pass on, he said.
 By having petition signed by the voters stating the exact purpose of the meeting, no other matter can be pass ed on without being out of order The schools need the money to defray ex- pcnses incurred during the present ifs cal year. The addition of new rooms and the repairs to them have entailed additional expense above the original appropriation, and in order to meet the increased costs a special town meeting had to be called. The schools have had an appropriation of s27,0OO but the increased cost of materials and the additional rooms and numer- ous other items have used up the en- tire amount.
 Committees Chosen.
 committee of three service men and three citizens of the town were chosen last evening at the meeting at the' town hall for the purpose of ar ranging a welcome home celebration. The meeting was presided over by Charles F. Lewis of the war bureau who was elected chairman of the fu- ture activities of the welcome home celebration.
 The following service men were elected as committee to take up with the rest of the service men what they would like most for a celebrat ton John Trehy, Ambrose Barrett and Gustave Hanson.
 MT. Trehy will see the boys in Ken sington and find out their wishes, and MT. Barrett will cover Berlin, while Mir. Hanson will take care of East Berlin. Nothing will be done except that which will meet with the ap- proval of the majority of the service men.

Leon Blum. one of the Socialist leaders,
in an interview with the Havas Agency
to-day. "When shall we put it into OK

Blum is one of the few Socialist lead
ers to find a seat in the newly elected
Chamber of Deputies. He is high off
cial in the conservative body called the
Council of State. the origin of which
goes back to the days Of the Romans,
and which, under the republic, has
taken the place of what was the Kings
Council.
Unlike Paul Boncour. former Min
lister of Labor and q leading member of
the Extremist party. who advocates
moderation, Blum favors extreme
means by the Socialists in order to at
tain their ends.
Blum added that there need be no
fear of Bolshevism. which now meant
what radicalism meant in the elections
of 1872, no more and no less, and
served the same purpose, which was
the defeat of the working classes.
