an unpatriotic. Socialistic letter
is more than I can compre'
hend.
What I would like to know
is, did he serve in any OF our
military forces? If so, he was
no soldier, sailor or marine, he
was either a permanent kitchen
police or a guard house law.

the spirit of service could com.
pose such trash as you per.
mitted to appear in print.
He speaks Of the Army haV-
ing the "caste svstem," what
ever that is. suppose he is

On the other hand. Anti

the method of army discipline.
Just let me whisper something
in your ear-they have to be
hard in some cases. The Army
is composed of men from all
walks of life, college n !, clerks,
mechanics, laborerS and worse
still, a few of the iiminal ele-

soon weeded out of the service,
they are not permitted to re-

AS for the officers, a finer
bunch of gentlemen can not be

why not promote them by seni.

AS an ex.enliSted man of a
few years service, I have to
say that I never received more

Richmond, ky, March 3l.-(P,- Deputy Sheriff Lloyd Lane, admitted slayer of Ambrose Williams, 30, q farmer shot in the back as he fled when his home was raided yesterday by four officers in search of liquor, faced an inquiry today with indica- tions he would plead justification in that Williams refused his shouted demand to surrender.
 In Williams home, at ONslcy Fork. about If miles from this Central Kentucky seat of Madison county the officers said they found a small still and a gallon of liquor, and this they had for evidence at the examining trial today.
 I1ecs Into Next County
 The home is almost exactly on the Madison Jackson county line, and when the officers approached and exhibited state search war rant Williams dashed away, with Lane in pursuit. into Jackson county. Several shots were fired a. lil lll bN l1GiIlt- It " tio S6titI ttlNNl Nt'l VI by Deputy United States Marshal Boyd Sandin. and Williams had run 500 yards, according to Sand lin's estimate, when he fell, pierced in the back by one bullet.

GOVERNMENT WINS
 MONAGHAN ELECTION
Prince Louis, Considers AbdiCa-
 ton, Likely to Remain

Monte Carlo, March 31.-tP(-ln national and municipal elections held in Monaco Sunday the party of Mayor Eugene Marquet won de- cisive victory. The vote was 45S for the Marquet list, with the remainder of the 671 ballots cast divided be- tween the opposition Bonaventurists and Aureglians.
 Significance of the vote was in the party's support of the reigning prince, Louis. who has been reported about to abdicate in disgust at the quibbling over politics and disposal of the gambling casino receipts. The Bonaventurists supported Prince Louis daughter. Princess Charlotte, in opposition to her divorced hus- band, Prince Pierre.
 May Ask Louis to Stay
 In view of his large majority Mayor Marquet is expected to pre- vail upon Prince Louis to abandon the idea of abdicating. With Louis sitting more firmly on the throne of the little principality it is believed that much of the friction between followers of Princess Charlotte and Prince Pierre will be eliminated since neither is likely to step sud- denly into power. If Louis had abdi- catcd Pierre probably would have been regent for his son, Prince Reynier.
 The voting passed peacefully. The ordinary army and police force of so was supplemented by 20 addition al men in preparation for the occa- sion but the additional men were not needed. Two expensive cars were used by the Marquet group to round up ever available voter. The Bona venturists, so-called from their leader, withdrew carly in the day when the results of the voting be- came sure, and the Aureglians fol- lowed suit shortly.
 In the campaigning preceding the election the Marquct followers ac- cuscd the BonaVenturists of nomin- ally campaigning for the princess but really seeking to get control ol the government in order 10 oust the princely family and found a re- public.

Number of Depositors and Amount Deposited in 
 :. New Britain Falls Off Steadily Since 1925, Ac- cording to Official Re- port From Washington.
By GEORGE 1T. MANNING

.- Washington Bureau, \. E. Herald)
 Washington D. C., March 31.- The United States government held $19,840 of the savings of residents of New Britain who prefer the postal savings system, at the close of the recent fiscal year, June 30, 1929.
 In the annual report of the trustees Of the system, presented to congress by Postmaster General Walter r. Brown, chairman of the board, it is shown that this sum represented the savings of SS de- positors.
 During the recent years. it is shown in the report, New Britain residents have evinced progressive ly decreasing interest in the postal savings system.
 At the close of the fiscal year, 1925, 143 residents had $49,047 on deposit, and in 1926 the figures had shrunk to s47,S47 for 15O deposit ors. One hundred and eleven de- positors in 1927 had sS0,S14 in the postal savings, and in 1928 this number had further dwindled to 1o2 depositors, credited with a to- tai of s27,679.
 In 1923, the New Britain deposit figure was s63,3S7, entrusted to the governments postal savings sys- tenn by 176 residents.
 Decrease in Connecticut
 Interest in the postal savings system has waned in late years in Connecticut, as well as through the entire northeastern section of the country, despite the fact that it has grown throughout the country as q whole. This regional slump in de- posits, according 10 Mr. Browns re- port. "has been influenced by re- striction of immigration, the higher interest rate in the commercial field, postwar conditions and less CT factors"
 This shrinkage of interest in Con. necticut is pictured in comparisons between the records of recent years From 1925 to 1929, inclusive, the
