 In the meantime a southbound trolley. car came along and while the tracks were being cleared to allow the trolley car to proceed Dfpalliner and Aleflle got away in the machine and headed for Willirnantic. The three others of the party who had been standing near the machine were left behind The de- serted trio then started down the road. Once out of sight they left the road and hid in the bushes, where they were found by Constable Lambert who ar rested them and brougat them to po lice headquarters in his machine. The Willimantic police were notified to be on the watch for the two who got aw( in the machine. They were found on the road in South Windnam and were arrested by a constable who took them and the car to the Will!mantic police station.

POLICE IN WILD CHASE
 AFTER RUM RUNNERS

n wild chase after liquor running ! automobile furnished excitement for Police Sergeant Patrick J. Murphy and
 Patrolman Frank Geer of the New Lon
 dcn police early Saturday The car got away from the officers after a lengthy chase, but the blame for the escape lies with the car that the officers used and not through any lack of effort on their part.
 The two officers were standing at the
 corner of Bank and filley streets in New London when t.ey noticed a Stude- baker touring car approaching up Bank
 street at a fairly rapid rate of speed. | As the car sped past them, the attention l of the officers was attracted ta the ton
 neau of the car, which was piled hign with saspicious looking cases. There were four occupants of the car.
 | When the driver saw the two officers 1 step into the street to halt tme car he | opened the throttle and sweFved the car suddenly to one side and shot past i the two officers and continued up Bank
 street at a mad rate of speed.
 The Cadillac touring car of John FL
 wood of Walker street was parked just
 above the Allen Hook and Ladder house
 and MT. Elwood was in the house. He
 was called by the officers, his car com
 mandeered and with all possible speed
 the chase was tken up. From the bG ginning, however it was apparent that
 the chase was a losing one, for the Cadillac although a powerful car if run
 ming right, was missing on a couple of
 cylinders and losing considerable power.
 | Up Bank to State and State to Main
 the two cars raced, but once the straight
 away on Main street was reac1ed the
 Studebaker pulled away from the Cadillac
 rapidly and turned into Crystal avenue a
 consdera ble distance in the lead. Sc far ahead did the car get that the driver had time to stop on the Thames river rawbridge and pay the toll thereby } preventing possible capture for had he ? | sped by the toll taker at the center o1 the bridge he would have found tho gate lowered against him at tie farthel ) end.
 ? The police car gained a little on tho
 ether as the two sped through Groter - and out onto the Noank road. The larger l car was unable to gain on the smaller cal t once they were on the concrete road an( l when Fort Hill was reached tse Stude . baker literally walked away from th'
 other, which due to lack of compression
 was forced to take the hill at very sloV speed. Wren the crest of the hill wa . reached the rum running car could no be seen and it was realized that the ca could not be captured. Telephone call ;: were sent ahead to the authorities 0 | Mystic Stonington and Westerly, bu n nothing further was heard from the Stude
 baker.
 , At one period during the chase, whe1 u the Cadillac was within shooting rang p of the other, Patrolman Frank Geer fire two shots at the fleeing car, but whethe e either of the two reached a mark in tn Il car could not be learned. It was yer # dark and with the cars racing at a grea n rate, accurate aim was practically in r possible.
 s. The car bore a Rhode Island licens n plate but the numbers were practical $ obliterated with mud and it was i'm l. possible for the officers ti learn them

POETRY
THE ENDURING

If the autumn ended .f Ere the birds flew southward If inN the cold with weary threats They NNainly strove to sing, Winter would be eternal. Leaf and bush and blossom Would never once more riot In the spring. If remembrance ended When life and love are gathered. If the world were not living Long after one is gone, Song would not ring. nor sorrow Stand at the door in evening: Life would vanish and slacken. Men would be changed to stone But there will be autumn's bounty Dropping upon our wezripess.
 There will be hopee unspoken
 And joys to haunt us Etills
 There will be dawn and sunset
 Though we have cast the world avzg,
 And the leaves dancing
 Over the hill. John Gould Fletcher. i1 The AfAs naeum.

MAUD MULLER

Maud Muller, on an autumn day,
Raked the meadow, sweet with hay
She tried to sing, but her voice JUS
wheezed,
And the birds took fright as she
coughed and sneezed.
The judge rode slowly down the lane
Smoothing his horses chestnut name
He drew his bride in the shade
OF the apple trees to greet the maid
He asked drink from the spring
that flowed
Through the meadow across the road
II love the fall, and the hay, and you
Said the Judge. "Ahem! Kerchool

She stopped where the cool spring
bubbed up,
And filed for him her small tin cup,
And blushed as she gave it, hanging
her head
To hide the fact that her nose was
red.

Then he spoke of the grass and the

And the singing birds land again he

Then Maud she spoke of September

Then she turned the hay-and they

And the judge exclaimed: Little girl

Maud Muller looked at her tattered

Then she sniffled bit and blew her

THE character OF the work Of the
Salvation Army is so well known
that explanation or comment on It
seems almost unnecessary. Suffice
It to say, that it meets need that no
other organization Of consequences at
tempts TO fill. Its service Is OF the
kind that the communities where it
has an active organization and the
state at large could III dispense with
IL. Since its great service during the
war, when the Army became more
widely recognized and appreciated
than ever before, more businesslike
plan Of providing for its financial
needs has been provided. Instead OF
depending upon petty collections from
the public every day. the Salvation
Army now comes to the public for
lump sums for its support. The Idaho
branch Of the army, as well as those
Of other states, is now engaged in
soliciting funds for its maintenance
during the year. Many public spirited
and charitable minded people are as
sistlng the officers in. the campaign,
which began Saturday and will con-
tinue all this weak, and they are urg-
ing the people Of this city and county
to ba liberal. This county Is asked to
contribute $1,000, which will be used
in financing the regular work of the
Army as well az maintaining and ex-
tending the splendid work of caring
for Maynard girls in Rescue Homes.
The cost Of maintaining the members
OF the Salvation Army is exceedingly
small. barely a subsistence. Every
contribution to them is truly for
charity and religious work. The Sal
walton Army represents a worthy
cause, 1t has its place in everyday |
life. 1t Is worth to this city, this coun-
ty and this state more than it costs.
Not forgetting its magnificent war
service, Emmett and Gem equity
should respond to their call for fin
ance with liberal hand.
