During the past few years. our summer
term each year has been patronized by
large attendance, and splendid work has been
accomplished by these classes. Much better
than average work is done because Of the fact
that the warm weather keeps the lazy and in
dolent person out of school and leaves only
the hard-working and enthusiastic ones. The
kind of work done is shown by the fact that
each year a number of those that enroll the
first of June take good positions in September
having been in school only about three
months

Business men of the cities in thi. section affected by the strike Of the Shore Line Trolley employees are to b< called into a conference this tSatur- day) afternoon at 2 o'clock at the towr hall in this city to see if they can evolve some solution of the situation which has deprived Eastern Conhecti- cut of trolley service for three day. I now and promises to continue the same situation indefinitely. Alton. T. Miner of New London. pres idert of the Connecticut Chamber o1 Commerce, has made the move to have tions to the mayors of New London Norwich, Wiliimantic and Putnam and the Chambers of Commerce of the same places The following was the invitataion received here Friday aft
 Hartford. Conn., July Is, 1919. Louis M. Crandan,
 Secy. Norwich Chamber of
 Commerce:
 I am instructed by. President Miner merce to call meeting at the town hall, Norwich, tomorrow Saturday, at o'clock to consider the relation of the public to the trolley tieup and the future of the lines. Please arrange fo- such representation of your Chamber as you deem wise.
 GEORGE s. CHANDLER,
 Executive Secretary, :
 PreSldenr Frdnkl J. King or the \ or wich Chamber of Commerce has nam : ed all the directors as it's representa- tives to attend the conference.
 As far as the operation of the cars go, the situation is unchanged and not a wheel has turned for three days now. There has been no defection fro mthe ranks of the strikers. as far as known, and the company is still maintaining it's attitude of making 10 attempt to run cars.
 Mayor F.. Frank Morgan of New London has been in conference witb c. c: EITe1l of the public utilities commission and has learned from him that the commission has no authority to step in in a matter relating to wages. The commission is prohibited under a certain rule from sitting in judgment or taking action in wage disputes.
 Another angle of the trolleymen's claim for higher wages was revealed Friday when members of the union stated that under the present operat- ing conditions of the road they are be- ing asked to work under regular steam railroad regulations at pay less than the ruling price for common a bor. They say that for some time they have been working under dis patching system just like the railroads and that they have to pass examina = tion on a list of 1s6 questions on which they have to get mark of 75 per Ceut- UT oFeT III OfUeT to HOlQ lnelr jobs. From their comment they show that they are skeptical that the f. condition of the road is not what the road officials says it is and they have the feeling that one of the chief reasons why the road refuses to arbitrate is because it does not want to produce it's figures before the board of arbitration.

business men of the city and the lat ter speaking of his interest in the work.
 Charles Frfnk. now. discharged from the service, a member of the famous
 Lost Battalion" of the 77th division, gave a short but interesting talk of his experiences of those perilous days in the. Argonne forest from the 18th of last September to the 8th of Octo- Der. 5 '-s
 It was on the 2sth that the 3osth in fantry began it's advance with the French troops on their left and the 367th infantry on their right. On the second of October they lost contact which was wiped out by the Germans. That left the Host battalion" cut off at position at a hill. holding the foot of the hill and about up to the center, while the German held from the cen ter to, the top of the hill and two >oth- CT hills that commanded the place where the battalion had dug in. From Sept 18th to Oct. they had just three meals. Allied. airplanes tried to drop them food. but most of it landed near the German lines: When a vol unteer party of nine went. out to get the food. five were killed and four wounded. One of the wounded men was captured by the Germans, and Americans to surrender which drew the historic answer from Major Whit tlesey. As the battalion was suffer ing almost as much from the allied artillery fire as from sthe Germans, two runners were finally sent back and managed to get through the en- Germans and the next day allied endorsements rescued the bat talion. 4
 The battalion went in TOO strong, MT. F'rink said. and in the five days and five nights had only f4s unwound- ed men left. He had two gas masks shot off from their position on his chest. which was the nearest he came to being injured.
 Cigars were passed and cake and lemonade were served at the conclu sion of the evening while a social hour was enjoyed. H-
