MAY AFFECT LOCAL
 INSURANCE RATES
Inspectors Making Survey of Putnam District For N. E.
 Insurance Exchange
Work Will Take Two te Three
 Month.

Nine inspectors, representing the New England Insurance Exchange. are in Putnam. The men are making q survey of Putnam, Thompson. Wood stock, Pomfret and Eastford. all being towns included in the Putnam insur- anee district The purpose of the in- vestigation and survey is understood to be for the purpose of revising the fire insurance rate. IL Is expected that the work will take from two tc three months.
 The survey is made on a debit and credit basis. A basic rate or unit is taken and as the investigation pro- gresses the basic rate or unit is cred. ited or debited as the case may be. In considering the balances, for instance, if cellar or back yard Is found piled with inflammable rubbish. a debit is made. If on the other hand, premises are found free from fire hazard. a credit Is made. The number of wood en buildings in the business section are considered The distance from fire hydrants is noted. Many such details affecting the risk are tabulated and then an average is struck.
 The town of Webster has just had the annoying experience of having in- suHance rates nearly doubled. A local insurance agent, familiar with the sit uation here and in Webster. says that Putnam has less wooden buildings in the business section than has Webster However, the survey will be made by a minute investigation of conditions to fire hazard. or the ab. sence of fire hazard. che report will be made Co the New England Insurance Exchange. and then the Putnam dis trict will have to abide by the finding and the changed rate of fire insurance, f q change is made.

GOVERNOR PLEASED TO SEE
MINISTERS.

RALEIGH, N. C.-Nov.-One
of the most interesting conferences
Governor Mclean has had in a long
time, he says, was one few days
ago with three members of the negro
race. Nicholas and Noah Sham
burger, ministers in the negro Meth
odist Episcopal Church, called ON the
Governor, bringing with them their
bishop, Bishop Clair, who was here
presiding over the annual conference
of the church, which adjourned on
Sunday.
The two Shamburgerz, both now
ministers of their church, Nicholas
or "'Nicl2' the Governor calls
him, being the pastor OF large
negro church in Chicago, were
known to the Governor when he
was a boy. ''They worked on my,
fathers farm Governor Mclean
stated, and we were plow boys to-
gether.'
'"They came to extend their con-
ordinations" the executive explain
ed. In answer to a question as to
whether he thought the negroes, too,
deserved congratulations, the Gov
ernor replied: eyes, indeed. did
congratulate them. 1t was an eX-
change of congratulations The
Governor expressed his pleasure in
seeing the two ministers, as well as
the bishop of the church, and de-
clared that he enjoyed the confer

CLOSE BEHIND BYRD.

All Democratic nominees with
the exception of Mr.. Purcell were
close behind Mr.. Byrd in all the
districts. The following were elect
ed Lieutenant Governor, Junius T.
West; Attorney-Genera!, John R.
Saunders; Secretary of the Common
wealth, B. 0. James; Superintendent
of Public Instruction, Harris Hart ;
Commissioner of Agriculture,
Koiner; Corporation Commissioner,
Louis S. Epes.
Mr.. Bassett will carry his own
district-the Fifth-by a big major
ity. He was running neck and neck
with Purcell in the Sixth, but these
are the only two districts which the
Henry County man can hope to
carry, unless early returns from the
Ninth were distinctly misleading.
Danville, a Ku-KluX Khan stronghold,
gave Bassett majority of 314 votes.
1t was the first time since readjuster
days that Republican has defeated
a Democrat in that city. The
strength of the Khan in Danville was
attested in the primary, also, when
Arch Williams received an even
larger majority over Purcell.

DESERT PARTY BANNER.

Amusement was expressed by
many when they learned that hun
dreds of supposedly faithful Demo-
Gratis had deserted the party banner
and gone into the camp of the
enemy, for no apparent cause, ex-
cept, perhaps, that of UNCONVENTIONAL
preference of the candidate himself.
He had grown up in the office of
State Treasurer from an under clerk
to the head of the office, reaching the
latter through appointment by a
Democratic Governor, the records
show.
The small vote cast in the metro
politan city in this important election
is attributed by many to the fact that
hundreds who felt the moral obliga-
ton to be impelling, did not care 90
feel forced to vote mongrel ticket,
and, therefore, remained away from
the polls altogether.
Even at that, though, conserva-
tive men declare, there is little ex-
cuse for the small vote. Purcell, in
the primary, got 1884 votes in
Richmond. What became of that
vote? ask those who have been work
ing overtime to arouse Democrats to
their duties. And then there were
1888 cast for Williams, another
Democrat, PurcelPs opponent for the
nomination, in that election; what
became of that? they ask.

WAR IN MOROCCO
Continued from page u

Painleve. Premier and Minister for
War, those of the young conscrlpts
called for service in Morocco are to
be chosen by the drawing of lots.
France, in common with the other
Continental countries, has compul-
sorry period of army service, from
eighteen months to two years, that
must be undergone by every young
man as training.
Whenever there is smalllsh war,
like the present trouble in Morocco,
the voice of the country is raised in
protest if any of the youths called up
for ordinary military training service
are sent to the active front,it being
popularity felt that any but the very
largest wars should be attended to by
the regular army.
This decision to select by lot will,
it is thought, be recognized as a
sporting proposition" giving every
one an equal chance of avoiding the
unpleasant duty. 1t contains also,
possibly, tacit admission that the
Riffian war is too big to be dealt
with exclusively by Frances pro-
fessional soldiers.
The new decree further stipulates
that any of the young conscripts
called up for their military service
who make special request las many
do) to go to Morocco on active ser
vice will be allowed to go. They will,
in fact. constitute the first class to
be sent overseas. After them "ac-
cording to our needs, and after the
other resources provided y have
been called upon and used up" the
youths accomplishing their eighteen
months training will be taken alpha
betically. The letter at which the
calling begins is to be determined for
each contingent by The drawing OF
lots.
Except at their own request, all
yourg men who are married and have
children, or are widowed and have
children, or are the eldest sons OF
widows with families, or the oldest
of orphan families dependent upon
them, or vino have already meE'-
Der If their finally in active service,
or two members of whose families
were killed in the great war, are
exempt from Moroccan service until
further notice.
Provision is made for the total or
part exemption of certain other
classes on the lines already laid down
Internationally in 1928. Preference
as regards exemption from active
service is, curiously, given to mem
bers of large families. This is a
popularity of French administration.
Our own attitude, and that of the
English when they finally were
obliged oadopt CONSUMPTION during
the late war, was that consideration
should be given as far as possible to
only sons, particularly only sons OF
widows. France is severely practical
Her depopulation problem is acute
At all costs the large family must be
encouraged.
France regards the woman who has
had only one child as having failed
in her duty to her country and shows
favor in every way to youths whose
mothers have the largest families.
The measure providing for draw.
ing by lot is to come into force i'm.
mediately.

DIR. FOsDICK AT GENEVA.

WE HAVE received a copy of
sermon by Harry Emerson Fosdick,
D. D. entitled ga Christian Con-
science About War. The text is
from Matthew 26:52, "All they that
take up the sword shall perish with
the sword. At the annual meetings
of the League of Nations, held in
Geneva. Switzerland in september OF
each year. sermons are preached in
the Cathedral of Geneva under the
auspices of the League and this year
that honor was conferred upon the
distinguished pulpit orator who
arose grandly to the occasion and
delivered a masterpiece of religious
oratory, which will go laundering
down the ages.
1t is needless to say that had DR..
Fosdack delivered this same sermon
in this country during the World
War. his arrest and Imprisonment
would have been practical certain
". HIS offense would have been
declared reasonable. Today, Ire can
be heard and listened to with i
feeling of friendliness and admira
,ion which indicates that the terri
h1o result of this insane mania 10
K II has had it's effect upon the world
and tended to cause even the most
radical to regard his utterances WIFI
studied consideration.
Nearing a conclusion, Harry ELI
erson Fosdick says:
1T need not, and i must not
nress the analysis further TWO gen.
