MEMORIAL SERVICE
 FOR WAR HEROES

Friday evening at Scotland Road nall memorial exercises were held for Albert H. Dexter and Frank A. Will cox, the two heroes of Scotland road Who paid the supreme sacrifice in the great war just ended. There was a large assembly of relatives and friends to witness the planting of two blue spruce trees by the Scotland Road Social cluH in memory of the two heroes.
 The program follows: Singing of America, by all; planting of trees solo, Forever With the Lord. Mrs. Hall Bushnell; solo. When the Mists Have. Cleared Away. Mrs. Charles Pierce; memorial address, Rev. Will liam H. Crawford; singing. Star Span
 In his address Rev. MT. Crawford made reference to the memorials be- ing erected to the honor of the men who fought for us in the great war. tablets, honor rolls and pieces of sculpture: Arches. buildings of all sorts will keep green the memory of our heroes in the hearts of a grateful republic. In all the ages men have felt and responded to the impulse to commemorate great deeds and great lives. It is deep and true instinct that leads us to hold in most sacred rememb bra nee those who. in the ser- vice they rendered to humanity. count ed their lives not dear unto them selves, but freely sacrificed themselves for the sake of others Therefore it is proper that the people of this com munity should gather here and hold a memorial service in honor of the brave and loyal sons of Scotland road who responded to the nations call and went forth to defend our flag
 Like others, they gave their lives for liberty. and it is fitting that some kind of a monument. such as memorial tree, should be erected to keep green the memory of these two patriotic sons.

THAMES RIVER LINE
 BUYS CHELSEA DOCK

All heavy shippers of freight from Norwich to Ney York city were noti- fled on Friday afternoon that hereaf- ter the freight would be received at the Chelsea dock instead of at Cen | traI Wharf as the Thames River line had completed the purchase of the dockage privileges from the Chelsea line. Agent F. Y. Knouse was in formed of the purchase late Friday afternoon and immediate preparations were made for the transfer from the Central Wharf dockage to the Chel- sea dock. F'rt that was in the temporary fire. It sheds on Central Wharf was loaded on trucks and taken to the Chelsea dock for loading this morning.
 Agent Knouse was also notified that through rates to points beyond New York would be effective within a short time. For some time the steam CT Cape Cod has only been receiving freight for New York city and now this new ruling will give local ship pers a chance to ship by water to other points.
 The Cape Cod has been docking at Central Wharf since last April and the long haul has made it very in convenient for local shippers, who are pleased at the change.

MAY HAVE SERVICE
 HERE NEXT WEEK

Norwich appears to have accepted the rule of walk or stay home" and has settled down to the strike Situa- tion and the pedestrians are taking ii as a matter of fact with an occas- Stonal comment as to when the cars will start running. The situation To- cally does not seem any better than when the men went out three weeks ago and the prospects of trolley ser vice here seems as far distant as ever although Manager Stratton of the Shore Line Road stated on Friday that
 he expected an attempt to be made al running the cars here next week probably some time during the latter part.
 Manager. Stratton also stated that to him the prospects were brighter than they had been and that 45 men were now employed by the company as platform men and that on Friday he received 15 new applications for positions. He states that it will not be long at this rate before the com- pany will have all the men it wants to operate the cars As to the strik- CTS returning to work he said that on Friday two of the Saybrook division men reported for work.
 Since the attempt to start cars in New London was made things have progressed rapidly and on Friday an almost normal schedule prevailed al- though the. interburban lines were not in operation. However cars were sent as Tar as the Golden spur on the East Lyme road and two trips were made to Montville during the afternoon. On the city lines a 20-minute schedule was maintained from 5:30 a. nl until 11:15 p. m. The schedule to the Col den Spur was an hourly one as will be maintained today between New London and Montville. The same schedule will be maintained today on all the city lines in New London as prevailed on Friday.
 MT. Stratton states that the new re- cruits are being broken in and are doing well but will not be allowed 10 take out cars until thoroughly com petent to handle them in city traffic As soon as enough are trained to han ale the cars they will be brought to this city and an endeavor will be made to establish some kind of trolley ser vice in this city.
 The cars in New London all have police, protection but there appears to be no need of this as the striking
 men are all orderly and no attempt has been made to interfere with the com pany in their opera tions. The patron age however. has not to all appear ances been very heavy. On Friday af- ternoon the heaviest carload observed by Bulletin man was only six pas- sengers, other cars carried one two and three persons

One of the early results of the &C.
ceptance by the government OF the Mt
Desert hills as national park, will be the
building of an automobile road to the top
OF Green mountain, the highest point on
the island. The old cog railroad to the
Mountain house, popular for time in the
early days of Bar Harbor, did not prove
paying Investment, and has passed into
history, along with the Mountain house,
burned some years ago. The wagonroad
has also fallen into disrepair and is not
used, and the only visitors now to the
mountain top, from which the finest view
in all Maine may be secured, are a few
hardy pedestrians annually. With the
building Of an automobile road, the
mountain trip will again become popular.
A tea house, possibly club house, will
doubtless be built on the mountain top.

The government is urging upon the
service men who have been mustered
out, the Importance OF retaining the
$4,000 insurance to which they are
entitled, and is organizing throughout
the country, through national banks,
something like bureau of informa-
tioa for these men. The day has
passed when life insurance is looked
upon as luxury to be enjoyed only
by the wealthy; it is now considered
not only as necessary projection for
the family of the insured, bus as a
wise investment. The insurance to
which the men of the service is en-
titled is cheaper than they could buy
similar insurance elsewhere. Pro-
vision is made by which it can be
converted into several popular forms
OF Policy-straight life, twenty or
thirty payment life, or twenty or
thirty year endowment. A man who,
since he has received his discharge,
has allowed his insurance to lapse,
may be reinstated simply by filling
IN form provided and sending the
back premiums. All such are urged to
consult their nearest national bank.
and secure the information as to the
conversion of the policy into the
form desired.
