WANT HIGH SCHOOL
 BOYS TO ENROLL

It Is hoped by the officials of the Bridgeport High School that during the week of January goth, over 2,000 boys of this city will be enrolled in the United States Boys Working Re serve organized for the purpose of increasing farm labor during the summer months. TLe food situation has not yet been relieved and this year 1t was pledged to send 20 mil lion tons of food to Europe against 11,S00, 900 tons pledged last year, ac- cording to figures issued by Walter D. Hood. Federal State director.
 MT. Hood will visit the school dur ing the week of the campaign and talk to the students regarding the matter.
 In 1914 there was a shortage of two million men in farm labor, and this year it has increased to three million. The boys of the schools are needed now more than ever to help out in the situation. Those boys who work 48 days on the farms are given Federal and State badge.
 Principal Moore. of the High school, is in receipt of a number of letters from MT. Hood, and both are very anxious to have this patriotic campaign a success.

CECIL IN FAVOR OF ORGANIZATION
 OF ALL NATIONS

 for the creation of body which will be effectively organized and not all lowed to drop into inaction," he sad. We are, moreover, anxious not to commit the democratic peoples to re- responsibilities they are not prepared. deliberately and consciously, to ac- cept. It is, therefore, important to avoid vagueness and to define our policy clearly and openly"
 Asked how far ornaments can be limited by League of Nations, Lord Robert replied:
 That, in my opinion, is probably the most difficult problem the peace congress will face. Individual na- tions will hardly be willing to disarm until they are sure of peace and jus tice through the operation of the league. Moreover how can any linn itation of armaments be actually en- forced? What assurance can we have, for instance, that Germany will not create an army more or less secretly !?
 The world did not know how ex- tensively Germany was preparing for war. She might develop another force under the guise of militia. We must endeavor earnestly to secure CO., operation between the powers repre- sented at the congress in a broad poll cy of demobilization which will corre- spond with the yearnings of all peo- ples to be relieved as soon as possi- ble from the burdens they have borne for these last four and half years Lord Robert said the conditions were the same with naval forces.

GETS HIS MONEY
 AFTER 27 YEARS
Judgment Granted in New York Court in 1891 Reviv- ed Today in Common
 Pleas Court.

Action to collect upon judgment issued 27 years ago was assigned for trial today before Judge John J. Walsh In the Common Pleas court, but a proposition for settlement was made by the defense, and taken un- der consideration by the attorney for the plaintiff The case was with drawn from the trial list. Five other cases assigned for trial today were called off for various reasons.
 In the action ready for trial the claimant is Nicola Zezzo of New York, who alleges that in the early sos he loaned Francisco DeGidio a sum of money which was not repaid. Suit was brought in a New York court and judgment rendered for the claim ant. At that time DeGidio had no property which could be seized for collection, and the judgment was al lowed to slumber.
 After some years DeGidio removed from New York to New Canaan, Con- necticut, and acquired an interest in a small piece of property in that place. Attorneys for Zezzo about two years ago learned of his interest n the property and at once placed it under attachment under the old judgment issued in New York in 1891. The case was brought to the Common Pleas court, and assigned for trial to- day.
 In some states there is statute of limitations which would preclude the bringing of such an action after so long a lapse Of time, but Connecticut has no such statute affecting court judgments.
 The original judgment was for about s337 and with the interest the amount claimed to be due is now sS16.02. The property will not nearly satisfy the claim
