 Mr and Mrs. Fred Dodge and Miss Edith Dodge, of Norwich Town, call ed Sunday afternoon on the family of Pastor Woodward at the Metho- dist parsonage.

 Two ball games were played by the Ballouville-Attawa nine on Fri day and Saturday of last week On the morning of Memorial Day they played the Moosup team, defeating them by a score of to 3. On Satur- day afternoon the home team met on the Ballouville grounds the Manhas- set nine of Putnam. There was a good attendance, and, while the game was somewhat slow, it became quite exciting at the last. Ballouville se- cured six runs in the first inning, and the visitors proved the old saying, "A stern chase is long one," by failing to catch up with this half-dozen till the first half of the ninth inning. The sixth inning gave them two runs, the eighth one, and the ninth three, thus making tie. Excitement ran high as Ballou mills came to the bat. Pass more and Stockton secured runs on a fine hit by Joe Pray, thus winning the game with score of to 6, though Ballouville had nothing but goose eggs between the first and ninth inn ings.

 parting,
 Forces it's way from its dwelling or
 clay. Dim through the darkness the death
 light is gleaming,
 Solemn the call on the angelic
 band;
 Earnest the prayer to the agonized
 Saviour.

venor-Dales
 Last Saturday the GrosvenorDales went down to defeat at the hands of the American Optical Go. at Wells worth Field, Southbridge, by score of 5 to 1. Errors and slow thinking gave the home team three of its runs. The Grosvenor-D -Dales showed flashes of good playing, but were not steady. Only one clean hit was made off Carl son. This was when Dresser tripled in the eighth The other six were scratch hits. Besides pitching a good game it was Carlson's little black bat that saved the Grosvenor- -Dales from shut out Their only score came about as follows: With one out in the lucky seventh, Donais singled to left center; "Jerry" Regnier, recent ly of the YD., sacrificed him to sec ond, and Carlson's drive to left field sent him in. Morin and Commette were the stars in the American Op- tical Co.'S lineup. As the A. o. c. team is leading the Triangle Indus trial league, the Grosvenor-Dales are not discouraged and with little more luck would have broken the South bridge teams winning streak. In the first inning American Optical Co. got three on bases with none out. By tight twirling Carlson left them score less.

Fifteen Million
Boplggl Int Bonds
In Fifth Loan
Quota Taken Throughout
Country Without Material
Assistance From Banks,
the Treasury Announces

WASHINGTON, May 11.-Ffteen
million Americans sought Victory Lib
erty notes in the campaign which
closed last night, according to esti-
mates received to-day by the Treasury
from Federal Reserve banks. This
compares with about 100000 pur-
chases in the fourth loan, 100000 in
the third, 9,40O,0O in the second and
100000 in the first.
A few additional reports of subscrip-
tions came in to-day, but no attempt
was made to tabulate them, and the
Treasury announced that the official
total probably would not be known
until May 20. The total as compiled
still stood at S3,849 100000, but late re-
ports emphasized the earlier indica-
tions that the loan had been heavily
oversubscribe d.
Reports from all districts indicate
the quota was taken without material
assistance from the banks" said a
Treasury announcement
Federal Reserve district committees
estimated the number of subscribers in
their territories as follows: Min
neapolis, 100000; Chicago, 100000;
Cleveland, 100000: Boston, 100000;
Philadelphia, 1,5oo,ooo; San Francisco
100000; Kansas City, 100000. The
other districts could not estimate ac-
curately their subscribers, but based
on the reduced totals as compared
with the fourth loan, the remaining
five districts should produce enough
additional individual subscribers tc
bring the total up to 100000, the
Treasury announced.
In New England 9O4 cities and towns
had achieved their quotas before the
closing hour, divided by states as fol
lows: Maine, 250; Vermont, 1893; New
Hampshire, 160; Massachusetts, 159
Connecticut, 1870, and Rhode Island, II
The Chicago district estimated its
total at more than S745,OO0,00O, o1
which the City of Chicago subscribed
about S24o,000,o0o without the aid o1
its banks.

n atiOnal Union
Of Tenants Is
Started Here
Representatives of Seventy
Trade Organizations Are
Present, and Membership
of 100000 Is Sought

Rent disputes in several instances
were adjusted yesterday in the Browns
vile section of Brooklyn, which long
has been the centre Of trent strikes. -"
but the organization of a national ten
ants union was started at a meeting
held at 175 East Broadway, under the
auspices of the United Hebrew Trades
and representatives of seventy unions,
including the Brownsville Tenants
Union, attended.
1t was said that a membership of
5000, 900 in the national tenants union
was the immediate aim, and that the
organization probably would affiliate
with the American Federation of Labor.
ut is our object" said Morris Fein-
stone, assistant secretary of the Unit
ed Hebrew Trades, "to organize every
tenant it the country who favors col
lective action against rent prohtecring.
So far the tenants union represents
seventy organizations, with q member
ship of more than 100000.
Plan Strikes Everywhere
at is the purpose of the national
union to order strikes in all sections
of the country where the rents are ex-
orbitant. and we purpose to be active
everywhere that rent payers have griev-

port tenants strikes wherever they are
voted"
Judge Jacob Panken asserted that the
tenants union would be power in mol

of legislatures to authorize the con-
struction of municipal tenements in
cities which suffered from greedy land
lords.

Harden Assails
Germany for
Treaty Stand
Provisions Would Have Been
Softened if Delegates
Placed Their Cards OH
the Table, He Declares

BERLIN, May 11.-Maximilian Har-
den, editor of the Berlin "Zukunft,"
writing on the peace treaty, says:
"The peace conditions are not hard
er than 1 expected They were un-
pleasant TO the greater part of the
people, but could one really have ex-
pected them otherwise?
1.-The Germans have not given very
convincing mental guarantees during
the six months since the revolution
that they have changed their system;
on the contrary, the present govern
ment and the press have used the
same methods of Indictment, the same
tricks Of bluff, as under the old rule
of the petty nobility.
"The governments proclamations and
speeches arc only bad copies of the
kalser's time. The whole press re-
sounds in protests and has started a
campaign of incitement against the
Allies, couched in violent language 1t
is agitating for refusal to sign the
treaty, and to what use? All must
know that the Allies, by keeping up the
blockade and occupying the coal dis
tricts, can force Germany to sign what
ever they want.
"rhe Allies have been threatened
that Germany would join the Bolshe-
wiki. But that would be suicidal. The
only way to rescue the country is by
openness and honesty. The revolution
has been great disappointment.
Germany should have sent men who
would have laid their cards on the
table and got the Allies to understand
that some of the conditions were unac-
ceptable. If Germany showed its good
will to do what is in its power 10 com
ply with the Allies requests the Allies
would see that conditions were changed
in favor of Germany, because they
know there must be a Germany and
that it is impossible to destroy the
German DeOnle" :"

Bones of Infant
Found i'm Cellar
Nemurk Woman Is Held:
Analysis To Be Made
of Charred Remains

NEWARK, N. j., May 1.-THE po-
lice here ARE holding Mrs. Albert j.
Hangiin, of "a Howard Street, follow
ing the discovery to-day in the cellar
OF her home of the charred bones of
an infant.
Mrs Hangln says she contracted
last December to care for the four
months old baby Of John Esdorn, who
had been left widower with five chill
dren. A few days later, she says, she
returned from the store to find the
baby carriage in which the child lay
afire. She says she took the body into
the cellar and buried it there.
When Esdorn inquired about the in
fant, she says, he was told the child
had been sent away to the country.
Later he became suspicious and mott
fed the children's society, which start
ed an investigation. Yesterday Mrs.
lIanglin told her husband what had
happened and he at once informed the
police. An analysis will be made of
the bones recovered by County Physi-
clan Warren in an effort to determine
whether the baby was burned to death.

Preparations Completed
and Guardships at Ocean
Stations; Motors De-
clared in Fine Shape
Towers May Not
Wait for NCA
Crews Are Rested and
Eager to Start Flight at
Earliest Opportunity

TREPASSEY, N. F., May 11.-With
the navys transatlantic flight guard
ships at their ocean stations, and the
big seaplanes NC-1 and NC-3 declared
after inspection to have been unin-
jured by their long trip from Rock
away Beach, N. Y, indications to-
night were that the planes will start
on their 1240-mile chop" for the Azores
at the first instant Commander John
II. Towers decides the weather is
favorable.
Preparations virtually are completed,
and it is believed the aviators will not
sacrifice a favorable opportunity by
waiting for the delayed NC-4 The air.
men held a closed conference after
examining the planes to-day, but the
decisions reached were not announced.
The NC-1 was refuelled after her
propellers had been shifted and minor
repairs effected. The motors on both
planes are in excellent shape. The
crews are rested and eager for the
trip.
May Make False Starts.
Officers expressed satisfaction with
the result of the long coastal fight
here. Although their machines were
four times driven from their course by
shifting winds, such as are expected in
midocean. they were enabled by their
navigation apparatus to correct errors
within two minutes.
\ warning has been issued to the
public to be prepared for false starts,
as It is intended to "hop off" with ex-
ceptionaily heavy loads of fuel, and
the planes may be compelled to return
If the loads prove excessive.
Officers directing the naval fight
SAID the question of whether the NC-4
hops off" with the other two planes
depends upon the time she arrives
mere, as favorable weather may cause
the NC-l and NC3 to start with little
warming. The elevator of the NC-1
was injured by humping into q motor
noat on landing and leak in the grav-
lty tank OF the NC-3 needs repairing
ouI tnese repairs are not expected to
take long.
Inc start probably will be made
without further trial flights if wealth
er conditions in midocean soon become
favorable. Conditions at sea were de-
clared bad to-day.
May Fly at Night
When the start is made the planes
probably Will fly the first part of the
Azores "leg" by night, hoping to leave
the log area when they get 400 miles
out. The planes Will be manned bv
crews Of five. A speed Of sixty miles
