For q moment Jack was inclined

Then, fearing lest in some way his
mother would use this information
to club his father with, he quickly

newspaper in the morning. That
would be time enough.
After all, it was none of his busi.
ness or hers, either. His fathers
visits to No. % seemed to have pas
sed off without any harm to him.
That was all the interest they need
have in the affair.
But Jack could not dismiss j,
quite so lightly as he desired. Some
thing stuck unpleasantly in his mind.
1t was the last line of the article he
had just read, referring to the two

who were known to be women"
His mother had picked up the
paper from the table and was porine
over it thoughtfully. She seemed to
be trying to search out something
she wanted to learn between the
lines.
With a sly movement Of his head,
accompanied by twist OF the
mouth, his father signaled to 60 out
side.
Taking the hint, Jack sauntered to
the front door, which he had left
partly open when he came in. Alb.
sorbed in the paper, his mother did
not notice his departure. He found
the night air cool, so he stepped into
the hall for his hat.
AS he threw it on the back of his
head he came into sharp collision in
the dark with his father.
"All right, Jack! Don't make q
noise"
The two stepped quietly out to the
porch. Mr.. Ladd peeped down the
hall to make sure that his wife hat
not come out of the jining-room.
"Jackw he whispered eagerly

Jack ran swiftly down the steps, ou

He had seen three persons walking
rapidly away. As they reached the
corner he identified them, in the
light of street-lamp. as the wife oi

Jack Ladd passed his hand across
his forehead. The msts that had en-
veloped him with regard to the
family at No. % Teak Street were
evaporating fast.

any one why he went TO your

II can tell you that too. she vol

Mr.. McCarthy rall wanted TO re-
hearse the cestus fight. But the
police association are keeping all
about their entertainment a secdet.
So my father asked Mr.. Ladd not
to say word about his coming in
to rehearse until the final program
is in shape--not even to Mrs, Ladd.'
II don't blame them for taking
that precaution. If mother ever had
known she would have told every
body before"
What did you say?' she asked,
for he had only mumbled this.
Nothing. Only I am glad l know
what it all means. Are the police
going to play the same thing that
they will put on at the Classic

"A condensed version of it. Your
father is staging it for them. He
has the permission of the Classic
Club. The members of the club are
all good friends OF the police"

"Yes. But now, if you'll excuse

"Thank you, but can't. have to

Jack Ladd found his way to the
street. He was glad everybody was
in bed when he reached home.

 ion because he did not wear the "YD'' symbol. The soldiers chuckled when the general explained that he had been able to get around the War Department regulation forbidding the appearince of symbol of the uni- form of an office detached from a division by having the "YD' attach ed to his pajamas at night.
 In addition to their arms the men carried their packs, weighing from 50 to 70 pounds and many of them were laden also with souvenirs from the battlefelds. It required ten trains with an average of 12 cars each to transport them to camp. The trains went out over the New York, New Haven & Hartford lines to Walpole Junction, thence to Birmingham and to Concord Junction where they were turned over to the Boston & Maine railroad for the remainder of the run to Camp Devens. Railroad officials said the trip by this roundabout route would consume three hours.
 The baggage brought over by the Mount Vernon had been taken off over night and forwarded to the camp. Arrangements had been completed at Devens to put the men through the disinfecting process as rapidly as pos sible, so that there was a prospect that several hundred at least would be able to start for their homes on fur loughs within 4S hours.
 The despatch of trains went on &C., cOrding to schedule, a train load of troops getting away every 20 minutes, and it was said that barring unex- pected delays the pier would be cleared by noon.
 Major General Harry c. Hale, com mander of the division, announced that he had designated Lieutenant Colonel H. R. Horsey of his staff to act as the division representative at northeastern department headquarters in this city.
 Army regulation necessitated the temporary separation of 1 war brides who came over on the Mount Vernon from their husbands. While the men were boarding trains for Camp Dev- ems the brides were taken in charge by customs and immigration officials and after the usual fornalities had been completed were turned over to the Red Cross chaperonage pending the discharge of their husbands from service
 The only Yankee division soldier to bring Q wife home with him was Pri- vate Fred F. Bluff of North Reading. The other newly married men on the Mount Vernon were casuals.
 The last to be transferred from the Mount Vernon were the soldiers un- der medical care. Red Cross amibu- lances carried them to the hospitals near Boston. Of the 73 sick aboard the vessel only a few were litter cases and 1t was said that none was in a critical condition.

MARCH WAS A
 MONTH OF RECORDS

Cooperative o Observer William Jen- nings has March records for Bridge port for 26 years. March, 1919, was the warmest by an average of three degrees. March 21 was the warmest day, except once in 1910, when the
 mercury showed 83. March IA the temperature dropped to 20 degrees, which was the coldest March day. March 26 had daily range of 33 degrees. March 19 and 29 were steady, with a range of but 6 degrees each.
 March contributed 5.4 inches of snow, to a total of III for the entire winter.
 Rain fell on 13 days; nine were clear and 13 partly cloudy and nine were entirely cloudy. The wind blew steadily north.
 All of these interesting facts are from Cooperative Observer William Jennings, who for many years has kept Bridgeport posted about meteo- biological happenings. MT. Jennings 'has been laid up for a little while, with an injury to his knee, sustained by a fall sometime ago, but it has not prevented him getting his weather news together as he has done during so long q time, for the instruction of the city and to aid the government.

'"The fact that the United States en- tered the European war free from all selfish purpose has had profound effect on Latin-American peoples" pr. Rowe said. "They have regarded 1t as a demonstration of the idealism of the American peaople and of their willingness to make every sacrifice in furtherance of those ideals
 'The United States has, therefore, entered into the negotiations at Paris at time when she is enjoying the confidence of the nations of this con- tinent to a degree which has not eG- isted since the promulgation of the Monroe Doctrine. Upon our national attitude toward the settlement will depend in large measure whether this growing feeling of confidence shall be strengthened or whether it will be thrown back to the old feeling of aloOfnesS and distrust.
 Tt is a noteworthy fact and one carrying with it peculiar significance that without exception the people of Central and South America are eager to join the league, and we must not fiatter ourselves that they will blindly follow the leadership of the United States in case our decision is adverse to the league. In fact, our failure
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-04-05

to ratify the covenant would strengthen the suspicion which has so long prevailed in many sections in Central and South America that not withstanding the assurances of presi- dents and secretary of state, there exists in the minds of self-seeking g groups in the United States a. plan to use the Monroe Doctrine as a means to control the destinies and influence the policies of Latin America.
 ''In short, if the United States fails to support the idea of a League of Nations, she will thereby not only in dulge in a fruitiess attempt to isolate herself from Europe, but will also lose her position of leadership. The republics of Latin-America show no hesitancy in joining with the coun- tries of Europe for the maintenance of world peace. We would, therefore, find ourselves in the position of hav- ing entered a great worI6 conflict of European origin of far-reaching Eu- ropean consequences, of having, be- cause of our unSelfish purpose been able to lead the world toward a set clement which gave promise of a dur able peace and of refusing at the last moment to assume the responsibilities and of performing the mission which that position of leadership imposed'

Dr. Walter H. Brown, city health the state health departments booklet, Know the Enemy" and a copy will be given 10 every man attending a performance of the noted army film, Fit to Win" at Polls Sunday after noon.
 The booklet is intended to supple ment the educational work done by the picture. It deals frankly and clearly with health facts which every man should know. It also outlines the ambitious program undertaken by the state department of health, in cooperation with the United States public health service, for the repres- sion of vice and the control of social disea ses.
 state health commissioner, there is little hope of ever eradicating these diseases without the rigid enforce ment of all anti-vice laws. Special steps are being taken to assist local police in the apprehension of offend CTS, and police judges are being urged to give everyone found guilty as stiff 3 sentence as the law allows. The latter course is considered necessary in order that such persons may be examined for these diseases and. if found infected, they will be given treatment until cured.
 At the beginning of the war; said Dr. Black, recently, i've were all mortified at the atrocities committed | by the Huns on the women and chi1- dren of Belgium and northern France, but these atrocities were mild con- pared with those we ourselves com- init, or permit to be committed on our own women and children through the medium of social diseases. Men who still believe that a segregated vice district is a, necessary evil are quick to change their opinion when asked whether they have daughters or sisters whom they are willing to offer for the sacrifice"
 The showings of Fit to Win will be at and o'clock Sunday after noon. Community singing will be a feature at each performance. The shows are for men only and no ad- mission will be charged.
