In the years when Sir Cloudsey Shovel, brilliant
English officer, complained bitterly that British
ships were poorly constructed and equipped :.
Louis XIV held council with his ministers, Colbert
and Louvois. I'VE must have ships greater than the
world has seen, mounting more guns, manned by
crews of skilled gunners :. for once let England
follow France upon the seas!'
Within few short years this boast came true yet
in modelling greater ships the French used the scen

 President Gets Busy
 The president left the young couple to amuse themselves, and turned his attention to two import ant government problems-countine the nation5s unemployed an reor- ganizingn the federal communica- tions commission. He had a confer ence at 1i:30 a. m. (edt) with John Biggers, Toledo, O., to discuss the unemployment census authorized by congress. He had a luncheon en- gagernent at 1 p. m., with Frank R. McNinch, recently named chair man of the EGG. Biggers is presi- dent of the LibbyO Owens Ford Glass Co. It was believed MT. Roosevelt may have decided to appoint him director of the census.

 It was apparent that the Japanes were hardening their attitude be- cause of the astonishing stand made by the Chinese against the shock troops sent here to drive them from the coast.
 Chinese Attacking
 Japanese spokesmen admitted that at some points the Chinese themselves were on the attack, noe tably at Lotien, the key town north of Shanghai, and to the east of the city. All the spokesman would say was that the Japanese held original positoiI1s.
 The United States patrol vessel Isabel, Q pre-world war yacht, and its 00 officers and men were put into urgent danger, in the Whang poo by cross-fire between Japanese warships and chinese machine guns on the river bank.
 So heavy was the fire that the Isabel had to make a right angle turn at high speed to get behind the Japanese destroyers. It ran up an additional American flag and raced up the river to safety, smoke btllowing from Its stacks.
 The Japanese, through @ spokes- man, admitted that the bombing of g train at Sunkiang yesterday, when 300 Chinese refugees were killed and 400 wounded, was due to the belief that it was 9 military train.
 Bomb Without Mercy
 It was then that the announce nent was made that the Japanese intended to bomb without mercy all trains in the Shanghai area.
 "A neutral intermediary might guarantee the nature of refugee trains," said the spokesman. That would reduce ron-combatant ca- sualties. But foreign authorities must give the Japanese ample no- tice when foreigners are travelling. For example the American consult ate general notified us that a group of Americans will be travelling on the Hankow- Canton railroad to- morrow. But the safest method of travel is by sea-"
 Japan's new airplane offensive was otl big scale. It started long before dawn. Japanese warships trained their searchlights on Chi nese positions along the river to guide the aviators.
 Operating in attachments of three each, planes began bombing all over the Shanghai area.

Bicycle Safety Test
 Starts Next Monday
CcOntinued from Page n

Democrats campaign today when Walter N. Levin of the Metropolitan Furniture company said:
 Many Safety Devices
 Buyers of bicycles today get all of the safety devices that the man. ufacturer can contrive to provide. After the bicycle becomes the pur- chaser's property, then 1t is up to the individual to determine whether safety will be the watchword.
 For this reason, among many others which are obvious, the Bicy- cle Safety League Campaign of The Democrat can be a vital factor in any bicycle riders program of rec reation," he continued. His rear fender reflector, his light and horn handlebar combination, his lowered seating to provide for better brak- ing-these mechanical aids to safe riding are nothing as compared with the riders attitude toward safety.
 Human Element
 While bicycles have kept pace with automobiles where safety prin- ciples are concerned, there still re- mains predominant the human ele- ment, the uncertainty of decision of the individual rider when confront ed with traffic hazard. Thus, at- tention to the law as The Demo- crats campaign will outline 1t, checking of mechanical equipment, and, finally, instruction of the rider in the matter of safe cycling, are most important steps toward that millennium of the open road today safe riding"

they lack and how such lack may be the cause of an accident in which they could be seriously injured.
 Boys and girls are being urged by civil and school authorities con- stantly to aid safe-driving cam paigns. Here's a real opportunity for the boys and girls of Waterbury to enter such campaign and be the ones to make it a complete suc- cess.
 Protection of Riders
 One of the purposes of holding tests in different sections of the city is for the protection of riders whc would have to come from remote districts over heavily traveled streets. It is believed by scatter ing the tests around the city there will be less danger to the partici- pants in riding their bikes to anc from the official lanes.
 One more tribute was paid to the

 Col. Gates In Race
 The most serious contender to Major Buckley is Col. Raymond F Gates, former state agent and now commandant of the soldiers home at Noroton. Colonel Gates has long been @ prominent leader and was one of the few close to the late MT. Roraback. He is considered @ poli- tician of ability and to make the proposition attractive to him, 1t is reported a move will be made at the next meeting the end of this month to attach a salary of $10,00o year and expenses to the chair manship.
 Buckley Holds Power
 Leaders, who are lin" on the plans of the majority of delegates claim, Buckley holds the power in the pres- ent situation. Buckley was quoted as saying he would not accept the chairmanship unless the committee chose him unanimously. Leaders say there will be a ballot taken with Buckley absent. This, they

 Meantime, representatives of truck drivers unions from New York city Providence, Springfield, Mass, New Haven and Bridgeport, met here tc discuss possibility of a sympathy strike.
 The strikers demanded a 10 cents an hour wage increase, closed shop and an eight-hour run from Hart ford to New York to replace the present six and @ half hour trip.
 Nearly 700 Are Out
 Close to 700 drivers now were participating in the walkout, af- fecting the entire eastern half of the state. Units at Stafford Springs and Norwich walked out late yester- day.
 The larger cities and towns now strike-torn were:
 Hartford, New Britain, Williman- tic, Stafford Springs, Norwich, New London, Jewett City, Danielson and Manchester.
 Strikers patrolled all the main highways, especially those entering the greater Hartford area. They claimed to have stopped or turned back" hundreds of out-of- f-state trucks, refusing to permit them to deliver or pickup in the affected area.
 Through" trucks were being let by flor the present." 1t was said.
 Spokesman for Owners
 Meantime, Myles w. Illingworth, executive secretary of the Motor Truck Association of Connecticut, @ spokesman for the owners, said they were willing to have the state board of mediation and arbitration adju- dicate the strike.
 "If the union doesn't want it to go to the state board of mediation and arbitration" Illingworth said, we're perfectly willing to submit the case to the mayor or any other third party"
 As for the next action of truck owners, Illingworth said:
 Freight already in has been dis tributed and freight out has been returned to the shippers, so the platforms are all clear"
 John J. Murphy, secretary treas urer of the Truck Drivers, Chauf- feurs and Helpers union, an Ameri- can Federation of Labor affiliate, said perishable foods would be halt ed "only as @ last resort"
 Minor Alterations
 Except for a few minor alterca- tions, no violence was reported as union pickets stopped all trucks en- tering the Hartford area.
 "There were some cuts and black eyes," union spokesman said.
 State police patrolled the Berlin turnpike south of Hartford and "broke up gangs" which were con- gregating there, it was said.
 Hartford police late yesterday forced delivery of a $7,000 shipment of radios consigned to a local con- cern and conveyed another truck loaded with eight barrels of pure government alcohol to a U. s. ware- house.
 Trouble was feared today when delivery of early editions of New York Sunday papers was to be made in the stricken sections.

GREAT BRITAIN
 PREPARES PLANS

It was in expectation of an Ital- ian- Germany boycott that Britain prepared the convoy plan. Put bluntly and undiplomatically, the plan is to protect merchant shipping against, and sink if necessary, Ital- ian submarines which may aid the Nationalists by piratical activities. The plan is attributed to Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain per- sonally.
 British Warships Ready
 Britain was ready to send addi- tional warships to join her already big Mediterranean fleet, 1t was said, as soon as the submarine confer ence ended. All participating colln- tries will be asked to provide war; ships.

 Use of FOrse Is Out
 Secretary of State Cordell Hull has repeatedly declared that the use of force for the protection of Ameri- can interests abroad is out of the question.
 This, 1t was admitted, represents change from the old dollar di- plomacy" of old, and @ recession from the policy enunciated by Pres- ident Coolidge that full protection of the American government must follow American nationals wherever they went.
 The change, however, is more a practical recognition of the realities involved than @ backing down" of- ficials declared. They charged that dollar diplomacy" was practiced to Q malodorous height but against weaker nations and particularly in Central America. Q
 Officials said that this procedure never was tried in countries rated as first class powers.
 When fighting broke out between Chinese and Japanese troops in the Tientsin-Peiping area 1t became ap- parent that the handful of marines stationed at Peiping and the 18th Regiment of infantry stationed ct Tientsin could not adequately pro- tect Americans.
 Hull Warned Americans
 Hull warned American nationals to be prepared to evacuate the dan ger zones. He emphasized that the American troops were stationed in China to protetc American nation als against mob violence or from at- tack by unorganized elements and would not be used to combat Japan csc or Chinese troops.
 The same warnings were given when the war spread to Shanghai There the United States had sta. toned 1,050 U. s. marines and about 1,400 additional marines have been sent there as endorsements This force, however, was recognized as utterly inadequate to protect Amer ican nationals, and property, with close to Q quarter of @ million Chi neSe and Japanese troops Waginp war with every modern weapon in and around the city. Evacuation was held to be the only course. Military experts estimated 1t would have required @ force of 100,- 900 American or other foreign troops and practically the entire U. s. navy to have pushed the Japanese and Chinese troops forcibly out of the Shanghai area.

Thomas Hendricken, then pastor of the InS maculate Conception church, who later became bishop of Providence. He purchased the Stocking property at the corner of South Elm and Union streets and brought in the Notre Dame sisters to teach in the first Catholic school for girls in the city.
 The Congregation de Notre Dame, 1t was explained today, was the first order of non-cloistered nuns ever to come to this continent, having been established in 1883 by the Most Reverend Mother Margaret Bour- geoys, who came here from Troy, France, at that time and opened the mother house in Montreal, Can- ada
 Since the time of the establish ment of Notre Dame academy in 1869 there have been hundreds of local women who have attended the school. During the past few years many of these mothers have return. cd to see their daughters graduate.
 Tn regard to new location, 1t was also stated today that if and when one is obtained within the next week or thereabouts, this ac- tion will effect no alteration in re- gard to the crrriclurn. It is esti- mated that six of the nuns and Miss Elizabeth Romaine will go to and from the new school every day. The same regular grammar school courses, in addition to French for all grades, art and music, which have always been taught at Notre Dame, will be continued.

 The convention Tuesday over- whelmingly voted to suspend ten state unions affiliated with the 0. I. O., the membership of the 0. F. of L., thereby decreased by 4000 men.
 Nominations were to be received today for president, secretary treasurer, and seven vice-presidents.
 Both Thomas J. Shea, Middle town, president, and John J. Egan, Bridgeport, secretary-treasurer, ap- peared certain of reelection. But four of the vice-presidencies were considered open, while three other vice-presidents were reported seek ing reelection. These were James Clerkin, New Britain, Perly M. M.

 To be Replaced
 Those who probably will be re- placed were State Rep. James M. Dick, Vernon, Henry Burke, Meri- dent, and Bernard Schub, New Ha- ven, who are connected with 0. I. o. unions busted from the federation. They did not show up at the con- vention.

 It is Wtally necessary for Brit ain and France to end the sub- marine menace at once, because of national and imperial-colonial in- terstate alike. From Britain's view point it is equally necessary not to permit the formation of a bloc of nations against Italy and Ger many, whether or not they are pres- ent.

.le eSour feet and ankles feel tired and ache all over - because you are carrying too muah fat - do something about it. Try the treStment that has helped millions to reduce excess weight.
 There's reason why 50 many people find dieting slow and often times futile in re- duOlng. The reason, doctors say. Is often because little gland is not working right.
 All the blood in your body goes through thls tiny gland sixteen times every day. If it doesn't pour into the blood stream about one and one-half drops of vital fluid every 2A hours, many people take on ugly fat. This fluid helps Nature to burn up" excess food and fatty tissue in much the same way as . good "draft" acts in Q furnace.
 Now. physicians combat this condition by feeding this gland the substance 1t lacks - and millions of pounds of excess fat has beeS wiped out in this way.
 NIrmola Prescription Tablets are based on She same method used by doctors. So doWt waste your time or money striving to reduce with starvation diets or back-break- ing exercises. Start the Marmola treatment today that millions have used successfully to get rid of excess fat The formula is in every box 30 you know just what you are taking. Don't wait - get q box of Marmola today from your druggist.
