AMERICAN LEGION WANTS
 SHARE IN MEMORIAL DAY

In compliance with a resolution passed at the Minneapolis convention last fall. it is. expected that Connec- ticut headquarters of the American Legion will, within short time, re- quest the honor and privilege of sharing in the memorial services of the Grand Army of the Republic.
 Just how the Grand Army of the Republic will act on such a request is not known, but it is believed the young veterans will be heartily well comed.
 And while posts of the American Legion throughout New England probably will find the Grand Army of the Republic more than willing to cooperate with them in paying hom- age to the dead warriors of Yankee land southern posts are looking for ward to their, part in celebrating Me morial Day in the southland along with the old Confederates. Memorial Day in the southern states is not ob- served on May 30. but on dates set aside by the various governors. The resolution as passed at the Minneapolis convention provided that the American Legion request the honor and privilege of participat- ing in the memorial services of the Grand Army of the Republic and the Confederate Veterans, while they stil live, and after death to be the agen- cy which shall continue these ser vices so that their graves and the 1 graves of all other American soldier! | shall be f1ttingly- preserved and tht nemmory of their deeds perpetuatet l upon the tablets of love and mem i ory."

Especial to The BuIletin.)


 ;; New London, March 9.-Frederick Devarney, 31, and George Duford. 3o both of Ansonia,. who escaped late Monday afternoon from the Norwich state hospital, were caught here about 4 o'clock this afternoon, after they had been to Westerly and made ar ransements to enlist in the army.
 The two young men arrived in Westerly Monday night and stated to Policeman Curtin that they were en route to Providence to enlist in the navy, were without funds. and asked if they could be lodged in the police station over night. As there are no accommodations for transients at the station. Chief Brown was consulted Upon learning that the young men were not professional tramps andt de- sired to serve their country, they were allowed to spend the night in the sta tion. In the meantime it was suggest ed that they join the army instead of the navy, as there were army men in Westerly on recruiting service, and that the service could be entered without making a foot trip to Provi- ! dence. This plan seemed to please the men and both expressed desire to i enlist in the army for service on the l Mexican border.
 i SergC. carr $. Sanders. Company G, ! 43d infantry. Camp Lee. Va, who is in 1 charge of the recruiting service at | Westerly, was notified and interviewed 1 the men. They were anxious to enlist i and Sergeant Sanders gave them the l opportunity They did all that could ] be accomplished in that line at West | erly and after breakfast furnished in i a restaurant by the sergeant the re cruits were sent to New London on the early morning train today to re- /; port to the recruiting station to com 1 plete their enlistment.
 At first they gave names that ap- neared "phonv' to Sergeant Sanders ard he insisted that correct names be Fiven. One of the men said he was George L. DumfOrd, 9 ce %. residence Waterbury, Conn. The other. Fred er'ck Devarney, 26. of Springfield, Mess
 Later today man from New Lon- don told the sergeant tl,at he had read in local newspaper of the escane of two men from the Norwich hospital for the insane that arsvere1 to the description of the two men who want cd to join the army for service on fhe border. The names and ares of the men who escaped from the institution are given as FTedericly Devarnev. 31 and George Duford. 20 both of An sonia, Conn While in Westar1v there was nothing In the actions of the men to indicate that there was any tra nc ] of insanity in their rnakeuD Yet the descrintion of the two men escaped from the institution and the two men enlisted for the army in Westerly and the close resemblance of names would indicate they were the same men.

In the last month or two there has been an un- usually large increase. directly trace able to the income tax payments. The income tax deputies at the court house do not accept tax payments in cash. but require those who make payments to present money orders.
