The big Zimmerman hand engine City
of Lowell recently purchased by the
Westerly Veteran Fireman's Association.
owned for many years by the Lowell
Veteran FireInen's association, is one of
the few of its size built by Zimmerman.
1t was built more for effective fire
service that for muster work and
throws a powerful stream for a hand
! engine. 1t has, however, muster re-
cord of 259 feet IL inches, made in
gale of wind, and has been a consist
ent participant in the musters through
out New England. The Westerly Vets
! have now two hand engines. the Star
and the City Of Lowell. The former was
purchased several years ago from the
Cranston Volunteers at the Print
| works
Indications are that Rhode Island is
to be better represented at hand engine
musters this year than for several sea-
| sons past as many of the organizations
! have taken over tubs by urchase or
lease. At the present time there s the
! argest field of muster ubs in the state
than ever before. There re more
than a score of machines, all of which
have been factors TO reckon with in
muster contests. T he muster engineh
in the state include: Nonatum and

morning the stationery store of William
j. Sweeney Son was broken into and
goods TO the value of SIS taken. Entrance
was gained through a window measuring
lox2o inches in the rear Of the store, this
fact making II seem likely that the break
was made by boys who could squeeze
through the small space. More evidence
that the break was the work of amateurs
who were no doubt frightened while at
work was shown by the failure to take
any OF the money that lay in one Of the
show cases and in the cash drawer. The
safe showed signs of tampering with.
marks Of some sharp instrument being
noticeable on the door. The police were

does not doubt that friendly rela-
tions between the Russian govern
ment and the United States will exist
within the next twelve months. He
made this known today during an in
terview, in which he touched on
Frances recognition of Gen. Wrangel
and the Russo Polish situation.
After accusing the Poles of wasting
three weeks "in a hide-and-seek game
over an armistice meeting. in which
they were probably Influenced by
France" NJ. Litvinoff said:
I'VE are glad France has thrown
off her mask by recognizing Wran-
gel, who is more reactionary and uI.-
kline. France Is only anxious to SAT-
guard her loan. and. like hazardo~s
gambler, who has lost his fortune.

whatever the United States may say,

most friendly relations will exist be-

countries forming the true kernel or
the real league of nations. while
France. IL she retains her. present
leaders. will find herself isolated and
forsaken.
