Especial to The Rulletin.l

New London, Sept 10-Chairman Har- ry Chappell announces that with the end of the present month the membership of the police force will be reduced to ten less than dring the present number. That is the seven active supernumeries will De dropped and the three vacancies in the regular will not be filed It would have been better if the men to be dropped had never been appointed They gave up their jobs to accept places on the force with the understanding that they would be eventually added to the regular force or be given steady employment as supernum- cries. Now these men will be thrown out of employment just about as the winter is to begin and they surely are up against it. Just why the retirement at this par ticular time is as difficult to solve as was the action of the police committee in establishing an abnormally large po- lice force, as the time when increased police protection was needed when there were more than 5000 transients, mostly sailors in the city had passed on
 The dimunition of the police force vii not in the least tighten the burden ot the taxpayer. It will not mean reduc tion in tax rate, or anything like that Therefore it would have been just as ac ceptable to the whole people were tht supers given six months notice to qui instead of little better than siXteeI days. The city election is to be held mex month.
 1 It is an off-year city election anN il
 consequence there is not a whole lot o l interest manifested in advance, but on 1 cannot tell what may develop as the cleo tfon day draws near. It is reasonabl, i certain that it would not be very diff l cult for the republicans to make clea

Piles

Can't Be Cured from the Outside.
 External treatments seldom cure piles.
 Nor do surgical operations.
 The cause. is inside-bad circulation
 The blood is stagnant. the veins The bowel walls are weak. the parts almost dead.
 To quickly and safely rid yourself of piles. you must free the calculation send fresh current through the stag nant pools Internal treatment is t6e one safe method. Ointments and cut ting won't do it.
 J. s. Leonhardt. NJ. D., specialist set at work some years ago to find a real internal remedy for piles. He sue ceeded. He named his prescription HEM-ROID, and tried it in 1000 cases before he was satisfied Now HEM , ROID is sold by druggists everywhere under guarantee. It is a harmless tab let. easy to take, and can always be found at Lee & Osgood Co.'S and drug. gists everywhere, who will gladly re- fund the purchase price to any dis. l satisfied customer.

"Have Not Closed Single School,"
Having thus stated the negative
side Of the situation, Father Spalding
goes into details bearing on the ques
ton. He quotes from letter from q
director of studies of long standing, a
member of a community nearly hun
dred years old, the community having
schools from Massachusetts to West
ern Nebraska and as far south
as Memphis" The director of
studies writes: 81 believe that these
schools will be fair indication of the
other parochiaf schools, academic and
normal schools. We have not closed
single school on account of financial
difficulties. In fact, if we had teach
ers, we could open up new schools in
many parts of the country.
In some schools our salaries, which
were $500 per month, were raised to
$4,000 a month" And quoting Rev.
Francis w. Howard, secretary of the
Catholic Educational Association,
Father Spalding writes: "* l
have not heard Of any of our schools
or colleges closing. On the contrary,
there has been a steady growth.
II There has been no curtail-
ment of our work on account of re-
stricted funds or resources. | think
the showing of our schools during the
stress of the war has been remark
able In regard to Catholic institu-
| lions in which lay teachers are en-
gagged, the situation is one denoting
| indeed the existence of abnormal con
ditions, nevertheless 1.-The outlook is
bright" New Improvements and ex-
tensions have been rendered impos.
sible under the contingency, but there
is no sign of retrogression.
Meaning of the Survival.
While the crisis has not yet passed
| it is evident that Catholic educational
institutions have borne up well under
the stress until now. For the future it
| is necessary to continue to yield them
that support which alone can make it
possible for them to keep up the
struggle without loss. The deeper
meaning of the survival under stress
is brought out by Father Spaldine
| thus: There are nearly 100000 pu
pills and students in the schools OF
the Catholic Church in the United
States. The private academies and
colleges number about 900. While
many of these institutions have q
small attendance, two of the universe
ties are approaching the 5000 mark
1t would seem obvious, from informa
ton gathered from all parts of the
country, that the system of support
ing Catholic institutions of learning il
4 dependable one. 1t has stood the
stress when other institutions, which
appeared stronger, have failed OF
partly failed
