POOR F,ETROGRAD.

Despite the unreliahilitN of it's peo- ples, despite the fact that their trOu- Lies were largely brought upon them selves, the people of the world may scarcely look upon Petrograd and it's inhabitants without an expression of pity and sympathy. The human race in that city has suffered in tho great est, beyond the trials Of any of their times. Before the war the capital of Russia, the home of the despised Car, had a population of about a million and d quarter souls, today it is esti- mated that there are 40O,O 900 former citizens left to inhabit the ungracious streets and that this number is rapidly decreasing through privation and cold. Over tWo-thrds of it's population is gone and a great part of that number has gone on the road which nas no return. Sudden death, disease and starvation has taken a heavy toll.
 Of course there are many that have migrated to other, less turbulent sec tions of the country, but the fact is not to be denied that there are many more that have been forcibly removed from the scene. The tendency of the hu-

Wednesday Night Hs. Monday Night
 Closing

There seems to be a universal movement to shorten the hours of work in all lines
 Clerks work more hours than any other body of men or women.
 The question is, how can we shorten these hours with the least possible dis advantage to tho public, employer and clerks.
 There seems to be ono of two things to do, either close Monday at 6 D. m or close Wednesday, afternoon,
 By closing Monday night we shut out the working man who works until 6 D. m. and he must lose time in his place of employment or trade under congcSted conditions Saturday after noon or evening.
 New Britain is city of the work ing man and I think we should cater to him. If we had a universal We'd nesday afternoon closing and the pub lie at large knew the stores were closed Wednesday at noon, all trad ing could be done on other days of thc week with no disadvantage to the public. So much for the public side
 Now let us consider the clerks size of the matter. If the clerk works Monday night until 8:3O or 9 D. m. he has worked an hour and a half or two hours more than on a, regular day, and has given the Workingman time to trade. In closing Wednesday at noon he gets five hours off for the said hour and a half or two hours he has work cd Monday night. He has pleased the public at large and gained at least three hours leisure for himself I can not see how any sane clerk can prefer anything else; public, employer and clerk considered

man to stick to the place which he calls his home is marvellous. In France the older natives lived in their cellars even while their houses were swept from over their heads by the enemy barrage. Such was their love underwent much danger, endured much. It is proba able then, that there has been no wholesale abandonme ment of Petrograd, that the rank and file preferred to stick it out. The price that they paid and are paying for re- maning at home is only too evident when the population figures are con- sidercd.
 The capital Of Russia is climatically very severe, it is far colder than ours. The hardships of the ones who stayed and who arc staying are thus doubled
 But the Russians succeeded in up- settlng, by force, the existing order of things. They did away with the con- Ventional methods Of handling affairs in one fell sWoop, hoping for an Utopia Capital wal distributed among those who wished to take The radical came into his own, or what he considered his own.

THE FISHING FLEET.
A CLERK.

 Ie who lie snug abed. and, droWsing, The covers to your cars at some far cry, How often does the sound of echoing feet, As gray dawn breaks, go down your sleeping street. To where the fishing boats at anchor lie? Long ere the wintry morn is scarce awake. Over the icy seas the fleet has gone; A company of ghostly craft, are they Fading within the mists that veil the bay. One with the whistling wind that drives them on. Brave little fleet, may all good luck attend you, Rich be your harvesting, with naught to pay Old Oceans maw, nor angry skies above yo1,; A safe return 10 lanG and those who love you, Over the white-topped waves and lclping spray.

Officer William Grabeck, an ex- member of the Yankee division who was named Supernumera police man a short time ago, made his first arrest last night when he took Jo- seph Riga to the police station after George Constantine lodged com plaint that he had been assaulted by R'2a. Today the accused was ordered to pay the costs of prosecution and warned against taking the law into his own hands.

Constantine claims he had just started for his home when Riga accosted him and demanded to know the reason of his close scrutiny. Con- stantine says he tried to explain that any scrutiny was unintentional but without waiting for further cNplana- ton, Riga struck him three times in the face. Officer Grabeck was called and placed Riga under arrest. Today the accused explained that as he was leaving the coffee house Constantine and three of his friends eyed him suspiciously. When he asked what the reason was he claims he WAS insulted so he pushed the men one side. He expressed surprise when the policeman was called as he lad no knowledge of any assault and was sure that he had not struck the complainant
