CALLS SINN FEN INSANE
Viscount French Makes Rabid Attack on Irish Organization. Especially the "Irish Volunteers

London. Oct. 22.-Speaking at Wal la.sey, Cheshire tonight, Field Marshal Viscount French, lord lieutenant and governor general of Ireland, bitterly attacked the Sim Fein government of Ireland. Among other things, he said:
 "The self constituted, illegal and insane Sim Fein is possessed of a great secret army called the Irish Vol unteers to which are attached assas- sins whose business it is to murder pc lice and soldiers who question their decrees in any community. The peo- pie are frightened into screening the offenders and making efforts on the part of the police useless. We are anxious to give self determination and to be faithful and just to all, but lit tie can possibly be done until law and order are established. When the peo- pie hear of coercion, I hope they will consider the matter in a just light"

Less Than Onc-third of Students Att
 tending Night High School Are
 Boys.
 That the girls and young women of this city are more ambitious than the young men can be seen from the roll call at the night High school. According to the records filed In the principals office, there are two-thirds more girls than young men attending the night session.
 It is evident that there are many of the young women of this city who wish to become typists and stenogra- phers, as the evening has to be di- vided into two periods to accommo- date the large number who wish to take up this subject.
 The night session at the trade school has also attracted many young men, who have seized the opportunity of learning 8 trade, with the help of capable instructors. The class att tending the trade school this year is the largest in years. There is a class of about 15 young men, who are talk ing a college preparatory course in mathematics.

Fair for Benefit of Church.

A portion of Rusins live in the city of New Britain-you probably have never met this name of a nation be- fore. It was born out of the late war; They are very patriotic Americans, having proved their loyalty by buying the vast portion of Liberty Bonds and furnishing the greatest number Of soldiers for the American Army, paratively speaking.
 President Wilson recognized their staunch support of America and everything that is American, and he was the man who backed up their just request at the peace conference. In consequence of this, their nation in Europe was granted complete autonomy under the administration of Czecho-Slovakia.
 The New Britain portion of Rusins desire to build up the church, as at present their religious services are held in a basement known as Holy Trinity Greek Catholic church, on Beaver street.
 To raise the funds in order to build a church they will hold a fair from October 25 to November 1, inclusive, at Dudjack's hall, Sexton street.
 All they ask you, American broth CTS, is that you show your apprecia- tion of them by being present at their fair Your time will be pleasantly spent and you will not regret having attended. We shall await you and shall appreciate your presence. Dances, first class band, amusem ents, Sl1rpIiSpS otc-A 6Vt

Has Division Engineer Here to
 See Local Conditions
WANTS STAIRCASE PUT IN
Would Aid Patrons in Getting From Platform Onto Main Highway Work Car and Regular in Minor Collision This Morning-Bricfs,

Dr. R. M. Griswold, first selectman, had Division Engineer Demore of the New Haven road. up to the Berlin depot to confer about much needed improVem ents about the station and surroundings. One of theS principal matters of discussion was the reliev- ing of conditions at the overhead bridge in times of heavy rains and the disposal of flood water. The water runs down in the middle of the road leading from the station, and fills in under the bridge, making traffic at a StandSt1ll. Dr. GrisWold advocated the construction of a gutter or culVert be- ginning at the depot and extending over the highway to carry off the water along the road after a heavy rain. In this manner the flood water would be carried beyond the bridge , so that it could not fill in under the bridge. The general drainage condi- tions about the local station were also gone over in detail with MT. Demore with view to having them improved also. How much of the needed inn prOVements will be accomplished is a matter of doubt, as the railroad is short of funds
 Wants Staircase Put In.
 Another improvement which would De or much importance to the travel Ing public was brought up by Dr.. GrlsWold, that of constructing d stair case at the bridge leading down from the board walk. At the present time mere IS long gravel walk from the prldge to the station for the cOnVen- renee or passengers alighting from the Stralns When they get off they have 10 go nearly to the depot to get into the highway to get down to the troll ley. Dr. GrisWold's idea is to have pair of stairs lead from either cx- the south side of the bridge so that passengers from the trains would nave put few steps down to the trolley. It would obviate consider aple danger Dr. Griswold pointed out as there would be no necessity of any one crossing the highway to get to the trolley. There is considerable jus tlncatlon for this particular improve ment as there is to drainage improve as there is to the drainage improve ment, and it is hoped that in the very near future work will be started on them. Two more lights for the bridge were spoken for also. as the bridge is not lighted satisfactorily to automo- Rl1sts who have to use the utmost of caution under the bridge on account or the lack of proper lighting.
