RAILWAY MAIL
CLERK DESIRED
Residents of West River Valley
Want Service
Petitions Will BE Forwarded to Second
Assistant Postmaster General-Pres-
ent Arrangement Causes Delay.

People in the. West river valley, from
South Londonderry to Brattleboro, in
elusive, feel that they are entitled to
better mail service ON the West River
branch of the Central Vermont railroad,
and to that end they are endeavoring
through petitions in circulation in the
various towns to induce the second as
sistant postmaster general to re-establish
the mail clerk service on that railroad
which was interrupted during the World
war.
This matter recently was taken up
with the pOstOfiice department through
Congressman Porter ii. Dale, but the
matter was turned down as not being d
paying proposition to the government
hence the resort to petitions, which are
being signed by the business men and
others who desire better mail service on
this road.
Other railroads have several mail
trains each way every day, but in this
instance only one day each way is
asked for. and it would seem that the
government ought to grant the request
whether 1t pays or not, as the aim of the
postal service is to meet the public need
and not to yield profit. A good mail
service Is an important factor in building
up any section of the country, and the
West River valley is entitled TO ms mich
consideration in this respect as is any
other section of the country.
Satisfactory mail service was moin-
famed through railway postal clerk sery-
zee before the war, and because the gov.
'rimcnt needed its resources for war
purposes the residents of the West River
valley, made no protest when tho service
was discontinued in 1917 Now that the
war Is over and conditions are returning

routes served from South Londonderry
and the Offices served from the same of
flee by Star routes.
I'VE feel that the business interests
of this section need and deserve the scrv-
ice formerly afforded us and respectfully
petition for the installation of service
with mail clerk upon the mail trains
as formerly was done.
when this service was discontinued
we made no protest, as we thought it u
policy of retrenchment on account of the
war. but now we believe this service
should be resumed for the benefit of bus.
mess. also to retain the young men in
the country and on the farms, and by
giving them service it helps everyone
concerned.
I'VE pray the service may be re-
sumpd p"

PRESIDENT BACKS UP
 ARMY AND NAVY HEADS
Approves Decision Keeping Regular Troops Out of
 Boston Parade.

Washington. March 17.-Action of army and navy officers in refusing to permit American troops to partici- pate in an Evacuation Day parade at Boston of which Irish Freedom advo- cates are in charge. was formally ap proved today by President Harding after conference with Secretary Hughes Of the state department and Secretary Weeks of the war depart ment.
 The question of using federal troops in the parade came to the presidents attention through a telegram from John F. Harrigan of Boston, state president of the American association for Recognition of the Irish Repub- lie, who asked whether "autocratic" rulings by the army and navy officers in command of the troops were to be backed up by the White House. In reply George B. Christian, Jr., the presidents secretary sent MT. Harri- gan the following telegram:
 Your telegram has been called to the attention of the president and he directs mo to say in reply that army and navy comma nders have authority to direct the forces under their com mand. The government raises no is- sue about the fitness of your celebra- tion of Evacuation Day and the spirit of St. Patrick's Day is felt through out our country, but the naval and military forces of the nation can have no part in any demonstration which may be construed as influencing the foreign relation of the republic"
 The message was sent after Secre- tary Hughes had been in conference with MT. Harding for an hour. Dur ipp fhe diScuSsion Secretary Weeks also was called in and the reports of the military and naval officers in di rect charge of the troops at Boston are understood to have been reviewed in detail before a decision was reached. .ae&H fe-'

WORTH ST. MAN SA IFS HE VAS HELD UP
 AND ROBBED, BUT MONEY RETURNED
Police Listen to Almost Un- believable Tale of Plunder and Threats, Told in All Seriousness.

Tito Bonci, of 1IS North street. em- ployed as a baker at 145 North street, reported to the police this morning that he was the victim of a hold-up shortly after midnight. Bonci told the police that he was on his way to work at 12:20 o'clock and when in front of the Monsees place on North street he saw a stranger standing. The bakeshop in which he is employed is in the rear of the building nearby and as he was about to open the door of the place, Bonci says he was set upon by two men. As he tells the police, he managed to fight himself free from these men, when a third man appeared from out of the darkness, and commanded him to throw up his hands.
 He was bound and. gagged, and the men rif1ed his clothes securing $3. They then commanded him to .'come across with $500 he was supposed to have. on his person. After he pro- tested to the men that he did not have this sum, the robbers blindfolded him and took him into the bakeshop. This place was thoroughly ransacked but no trace of the money was found. Before they left the place. the hold-up men gave Bonci his B back. telling him to produce the $500 not later than Saturday night The police are inves- tgating.
