Beckett Crayes Excitement.

The - years that Luman C. Beck cit has spent in this world have been hlled with excitement. and the tale reads like the writings of a wild west novel writer rather than the acts Of a young man who was reared in this staid old New England Since early childhood in the town Of Berlin and New Britain there was no deyiltrv but what Beckett would enGace in. At the age Of 1 years he found himself in the meshes of the law, being haied before the police court on a charge of burglary and theft. His grandfather was at that time tho armorer at the state armOrN and young Luman spent conSldera blc time around the buiIdinc, helping his relative doing odd chores The sight of so much armament nvi- dentlN excited the "Wild and W0oly" instinct in the boy, who watching his chance, "ppropriat ed a number of re- Nolrers. using them in shooting at tar gets, suuirrcls.and the ike. This form of GunncrN however did not produce the thrill that the youthful Gunman wanted. Residents Of T;CrIin and Ken stngton were thrown into q state ur cN- citencnt about seven Noars ago. were alarmed at the report of a daring holdup.
 An officer of the law in the New Britain suburban towns was accosted by young man, and ordered 10 throw up his hands, with Un added command to "cOme across and a threat of silence or death. Beckett was the Gunman in this instance and he was later taken into custody and on June 12, 1912, was sentenced to the Connecticut School for Boys a Meriden At the school Beckett'a record was not a good one, and for an aggreVated assault he was committed to the more firm incarceration at the Cheshire rcfOrmatory.
 Following q parole he was taken back to the rcfOrmatOTN only to be , later parOled again. Beckett man aged to avoid landing in the mCshes of the law, and the youth dropped out of sight for a time. In February, . 1917, wearing the uniform of Inc Canadian army, Beckett made hi5; re- appearance in this city. The tales of war raging on the western front of France, and his own personal deeds Of Nalor, were beyond the widest I ina gination, but it Was accepted IS ! by many of Beckctt's auditors. In Berlin, where he had been looked upon as "a bad boy" by [ many of the toWnSpeOple, there were !, not few who inclined to forget all his escapades, and they extended to , him the hand of welcome.
 EniStS in Company I.
 It was only about month after his return home that the focal militia ! were ordered to mobilize . for service. Beckett was one of the { many local young men who laid down he business of life to volunteer in the service. On March 27, 1917, he en- listed as a priyate in Company l, c. N,

THE AMERICAN LEAGUE.

At last tho American dra5t OF tho league ot nations
has been placed before the senate. II In "a shocking
surprise because It is at apparent that while IL
was not considered whole by tho peace envoys
most OF the American concessions In the official coD
OF the league which we had understood the result
Of much negotiation and reluctantly made ns the
best that could done were IN fact voluntarily offered
Thus In the American league no mention whatever
was made OF tho Monroe doctrine. This lends some
what more than color to the charge frequently madc
that President Wilson has been froa the first entirely
out OF sympathy with that purely American doctrine,
and avalled himself Of tho first opportunity to un-
load it
Also In respect OF Article y The American league

tangllnE International busybodyirm finally act mp n
the official league, aud which tho country had been
led to believe was what Mr Wilson wanted exactly,
but was the best that could bc had IN Wow ~ the
