sit amid the ruins Of their homes. Un.
like the Belgians they have no peaceful
area to which they can flee for refuge

there are two hundred thousand OF them
whose homes are heaps of ruins, whose
husbands have lost their employment
owing to the disturbance.
+ In Dublin, comparatively peaceful
area, FIVE thousand children are now
living on cup Of cocoa and piece Of

WILLIAM BoLnON sCHILIING.
(Communicated.)


 The many Bridgeport friends of Mir. and Mrs. William SchiIIing of New Haven, will be pained to hear of the demise of their 19 year old son, William Bolton Schilling, whose nntlmely death was great shock to the wide circle of friends in which he and his family moved. The young man was talented to a degree and gave every promise of a bright and useful manhood. By his splen- did qualities of mind and heart he had endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact and until his strength began to fail he mani tested a keen interest in his studies and wholesome paStimes. All that medical skill could do was sought in vain to stay the progress of his mal- ady but in the end the strain prov ed too much for the heart and he passed quietly and peacefully on to a better world. He lived a beautiful Christian life and was well pre- pared and fortified with the sacra- ments to his church. when the final summons came. At his funeral, which was held at the church of the Sacred Heart. New Haven. the wealth of floral emblemS from all parts of the state attested the esteem in which he was held.

TEACHERS IN NORWALK FAIL
 TO GET PAY
(Continued from Page One)

The Board of Education has not decided to take any definite action immediately, according to today's re- ports. The next meeting of the board will not be held until July 5, and there is no chance of a special meeting being called or the purpose of taking action on the deficit. The total shortage amounts to $4,915.72, and though the checks are now in the city's clerks office, the city treas lack of funds.
 Members of the Board of Educa- tion have been battling the city ad ministration for nearly four years, and the cry has always been more money" It was said today. that the money to pay the teachers may be raised only through legal action which would not be long delayed if some members of the school board had their way.
 The Board of Apportionment, at a meeting held last Monday night. took a step towards providing for the de- ficiency, by adopting a resolution calling for a special tax to be laid in October. This levy will raise ap- proxnately S11,30O. the amount voted to Norwalk by the State on school enumeration figures, but will not be available for immediate use. The Board of Education placed this sum in it's annual budget, but it was cut out by the Apportionment board, and the present tangle has resulted.
 Three night school teachers are in cluded among the unfortunate 2S, despite the fact that the state appro- priated nearly s1.OO0 for night school work in NorvaIk- This sum was placed in the contingency fund, and the administration refused to use the money for paying teachers salaries.
 In summing up the situation it ap- pears that the teachers have been made the goats for the old feud between the administration and the School board, and have also been hard hit by an "econony'' platform. Summer vacations are at hand, and the teachers will undoubtedly miss the considerable package of change which rightfu1ly belongs to them, but which they cannot collect
