CANNOT SAY THERE WILL BE
 NO CHANGE IN TROLLEY FARE

An inquiry addressed to President Lu- cius B. Storrs of the Connecticut com- pany by Secretary James G. Hammond of the New London Chamber of Commerce, asking whether the fve-cent trolley fare was to remain in force in New London has drawn the following reply:
 New Haven, Conn.,, July IT, 1920. MT. James G. Hammond Secretary
 Chamber of Commerce, New London,
 Conn.
 Dear Sir: I have your letter dated July 18th, in connection with assurance on our part that we will not make any fur ther advance in the trolley rates.
 I most distinctly cannot make this as surance. My statement in this connec- tion was very clear and I hope the reve- nues obtained from this increase will be sufficient to meet our actual needs al- though, of course, there is no telling. We will make an effort to continue the rates during the summer time, but frankly we must obtain what any other business venture does. fair, compensation for our service.
 Of course, before any further change is decided upon I will ask for confer ences and discuss the matter with the greatest franl1ness and I feel confident that no change will made in rates of fare of fare that you yourself, and others in terested in the chamber of commerce cannot see is clearly justified

MAY DEPORT GERMAN PATIENT
 AT NORWICH STATE HOSPITAL

Martin Macht, a patient at the Nor
 wich State Hospital, will probably be
 sent back to Germany as the town of Co.,
 lumbia refuses to support him and his
 relatives there are afraid to keep him
 because of his actions.
 In June, 1914, Macht then about 30
 years old, landed in this country from
 Germany, his passage money having been paid by his aunt Mrs, Henry Scheibe of No. 101 Orchard street, Rockville.
 He was an expert cabinet maker and soon obtained work either at his trade or at laboring work and repaid his aunt for his passage money. He drifted about this state from place to place, spending some of the time with his cousins, Will liam G. and Frank Macht, in Columbia During the war he began to show signs of insanity and about three years ago he decided that he must go to Washing ton. D. C., and get President Wilson to stop the war or else he must kill him, as he considered him responsible for the war, at least so far as the United Sta tes was concerned. Soon after that he left Columbia and nothing more was heard from him until December, 1919, when | letter was received addressed to his Columbia cousins that he was in charge of the charity department of Washing | ton, D. C., and that under an act ot congress it would be necessary for them | to return him to Columbia, as according 1 to his statements that town was his | place of residence in this country.
 i The Columbia selectmen informed the Washington charity department that he was an alien, and an enemy alien, that | he had no residence in that town nor in 1 this state and that any attempt to land him in Columbia for support would be resisted.
 Nothing more was heard about him un- 1 til about six weeks ago when he arrived J in Rockville in wretched condition. His 1 clothes were in tatters, he was almost
 shoeless and he was nearly fanished According to his story he had been ! turned loose by the Washington charity department and had made his way to this state as best he could, walking most l of the way and getting a lift occasionally on freight trains or other conveyances. 1 From Rockville he went to his cousins i in Columbia. but his actions were such l that they were afraid to keep lim and
 the state aid department was notified and brought him to Norwich.

Burglars cracked the safe in the office of Charles Slosberg & Sons feed and grain store at Cove street some time Saturday night and got $50 in Liberty bonds and about $20 in small change. A Liberty bond for $500 which was among the pa pers in the same was overlooked by the robbers and left behind among papers scattered around the hay room. where the robbers apparently examined their loot
 cotton hook taken from one of the Slosberg wagons was used to pry the sta ples of door to get into the building and 15-pound sledge hammer found in the building was the instrument used to knock the combination knob off the safe.
 The break was discovered by young MT. Slosberg when he visited the office Sunday morning and saw the knob lying on the floor. Investigating further, he found that the door of the safe was. tight shut so that he could not open it and when he looked into the hay room in the rear of the office he saw the three inside drawers of the safe and the papers they had con- tained scattered around among the hay Business papers, including fire insurance policies, mortgages, business memoranda and other papers, had all been turned out of the drawers and examined thoroughly, every envelope having been opened and it's contents taken out By checking up on what was known to have been in the safe it was discovered that the only things missing were two Liberty bonds, one for S100 and the other for $50. As there was about $20 in cash in the safe, it is sup posed this was also taken by the robbers.
 The two Liberty bonds taken were in the envelopes with the words Liberty

LET POSTMAN KNOW
 SUMMER VISITORS NAMES

Summer visitors at homes on the rural free delivery routes cannot expect to have their mail delivered promptly unless the person at whose homes they are staying informs the carrier. of the names of the visitors there( according to a warning issued by Postmaster John P. Murphy, for the guidance of the numerous out of town people who are always to be found at homes on the rural routes at this season of the year.
 It is not enough that the number of the route should be written on the en- velope as the carrier cannot tell from that what home along his route the visitor is staying. But if the carrier is given the names of those for whom mail is expected he can make the de- liveries without trouble.
 The same information is necessary as regards city delivery mail. Regu- lar patrons of the office who have vis- istors at their homes for whom mail is expected should give the name to the carrier on the route or forward the name to the postoffice.
 There is some mail Of this chara cter with insufficient address, held at the postoffice now.

BURGLARS GET LIBERTY BONDS AND CASH

bonds" printed upon them, so that the $500 bond was in among the insurance policies and not in an envelope, which probably accounts for it's being over looked.
 When they finished their work, the burglars closed the door of the safe and turned the handle, locking it so that it has been impossible to open it since. MT. Slosberg had Ashley T. Boon working for several hours Sunday afternoon in an at tempt to unlock the safe, but it resisted all his attempts and he had to give it up. It looks to him very much as if the burg lars were familiar with the operation of a Nosler safe in the way they opened it and turned the handle afterwards to lock it when they had finished their operations. Apparently it took but one blow of the 15-pound sledge hammer to knock off the knob and when the door had been opened the burglars proceeded to get at the three drawers inside by ripping the locks off them. When these had been taken out of the safe they were carried back into the hay room for examination.
 As soon as MT. Slosberg discovered the burglary he notified police headqua rters and Officer Frank S. Henderson was put on to the case. He made search along the Central Vermont tracks for possible clues and came upon the cotton hook with which the burglars had got into the build ing through a side door
 According to MT. Slosberg, this cotton hook was missing for several days a short time ago. and later was found placed back in the wagon from which it had been taken.

 Quoting from celebrated French aebe that every soldier is brave in garrison T. it is only in battle that the brave and the Cuwardly are dis inguished from each othe-, the preacher made the poIr. that Satar does not tempt the base; he foas not 1eed to, since they are his, oody acd soul It is those who are trying to dJ Gods will to live lives of grace. whom the Devil assalls, either from within or from without.
 Hence the Christian should not be dis mayed at temptation-that trial of his loyalty sent to prove his spiritual mettle. The words of St. Paul promise that in every moment of enticement to sin, God will give grace to resist, if only He is invoked. The Saviour permitted Himself to be tempted by Satan. through pride, ambition, comfort and ease, setting men the example of repudiating the Tempter. declaring that God alone should be wor- shipped and served.
 Father Sullivan defined the conditions which constitute a mortal sin-grayity, deliberation and consent. indicating the means which God has given men to so strengthen themselves spiritually that when the frequent moments of temptation come, as they cope in every life, the will remains firm in resistance, growing stronger. through Gods grace, the more trying the temptations put aside.

 HELD AT MOHEGAN PARK

The second in the series of open air meetings under Y. M. C. A. auspices was held Sunday afternoon at Mohegan park The young ladies of the First Baptist church formed a chorus and rendered several selections comprising popular hymns.
 Miss Rose Thornes played the organ and H. Arnold and William Peck from the Brooklyn Y. M. c. A. camp assisted on the violin and cornet. Rev. George H. Strouse delivered a practical address taking for his topic, Diamonds.
 The speaker said in part:
 There were thousands of people living in South Africa who knew nothing of the immense wealth in their midst Then in 1867 a child was seen playing with a brilliant stone. It proved to be a dia- mond of great worth. The attention of the whole world was attracted to these diamond mines. But for centuries there was unlimited wealth in the country bur the people knew nothing about it.
 The Bible is mine of indescrioable wealth and there are so many in the world who know nothing of it. There arc some who appreciate it's immense wealth and treasure it above rubies.
 Let me tell you of these diamonds you may all find in this book
 First, Gods love. This diamond I'd rather enjoy and posses ;ilaE wear the choicest diamond in m" sh:r: bosom
 Second, Christ died for us. Have you never heard of this diamond? Strange a diamond of such worth is so little appre- ciated in this world. All the diamonds in South Africa could not purchase fol us what Christs death has placed with, in our grasp.
 Third, Gods pardon. Diamonds can 1 he fOuud anywhere a01 YO1 can find them in ~South Africa Gods pardon can't be picked up just anywhere and everywhere but it can be found -ir just one place and that is the mine ot Christ's redeeming love.
 The meeting was held from an auto. truck in which the singers were taken to the park.

 two boys who through accidents will
 carry scars to their graves; these do
 not affect the character of these boys they are what We may call accidental
 scars. Thousands of our brave soldiers
 bear in their bodies, various scars from wounds received in battle overseas, and these scars will be borne to the end of earthly life. These can be justly called honorable scars for they were received by those who risked their all for a great cause. Lincoln is a shining example oi one whose wound or scar was in the highest sense one of honor he died fol his country. These scars l have men. toned are physical or visible scars, but there are scars that are neither physi
 cal or visible, they are the scars of th: heart and life. Whatsoever boy SOW. eth, that shall he also reap" and [
 boy thinketh in his heart, so is he. Many boy has evil thoughts anc these sears" the character and life. Tel
 me what you read and what youl thoughts are and I will tell you wha
 kind of boy you are. How many p1 you would like to have your thoughts pictured on the screen?
 The unkind words that boys sometime. speak at home scar the tender heart o
 mother. Every time boy swears ht scars his own life to hurt the heart ot God.
 The scars that mean the most in bless ! ing are those born by the great Son O. | God when cruel men nailed him to tn,
 cross and as he hung there he prayed fol 1 his murderers. Let us surrender ou | lives to Jesus Christ and thus make hi! i scars count for the most possible"
