IRISH COP. FAIL
 TO HOLD MEETING
Only Three Respond to Un. authorized Notice of Im-
 pOrtant Session

An attempt to hold an allegedly unauthorized meeting of the Irish Republican Club failed last night when only three members showed up at Republican headquarters, where the session was to have been held The result was a victory for John McHugh, club president, who had declared that no meeting could be called without his authorization.
 MT. McHugh has declared himself in favor of Vincent A. Scully, Dem- ocrat, for mayor. In public state ments and letters he has denounced the Republican leadership and cri- ticized the party's failure to nom- mate Mayor Patrick M. Perriello for mayor. Mrs. Gertrude Keenan for town clerk and John J. Bergin for city clerk.
 Republican leaders sought to have a meeting of the club called. hoping to have the membership disavow MI McHugh's statement. It was planned to have the club endorse the Re- publican ticket.
 The move failed when only the trio of members appeared, the rest of them apparently supporting the stand Of the president.

ARMISTICE EVE Was One Year U. s. Marines Forgot To Celebrate Their An
 niversary.

Although the U. s. Marines will celebrate their birthday on November 10, commemorating l64 years of service to their country, some war veterans of the Corps will remember an oc- casion when the sea soldiers paid no attention to their an- niversary.
 Marines, serving with the Sec- 0nd Division in France, had fought their way to the banks of the Mouse. For ten days the division had wrested one position after the other from the Germans in the Meuse- ArgOnne Sector, during a final victorious drive. It was the Eve of the Armistice, November 10, 1918, which happens to CO., incide with the Marines natal day.
 Beyond the river the enemy attempted to delay the advance, sending g hail of shells and whitening machine gun fire to 8 point near Beaumont, where the End Engineers tried to bridge the stream.
 The first bridge was blasted into bits, but a second flimsy structure finally spanned the river, and over this under Ger. man flares that shed . ghostly light on the stream, two bat talions of the Fifth Regiment of Marines eventually made their way, establishing them selves on the heights on the farther side.
 Behind the Second Division lay their victories at Belleau Wood, Soissons, St. Mihiel and the Champagne. Although ex- hausted and mud -begrimed there was no Tagging of cour- age or loss of morale when the troops pressed forward the fol- lowing day.
 However, at eleven o'clock that morning, with something more than heartfelt thanks, both friend and foe welcomed the joyful news of the Armistice. Incidentally, 1t was an oppor- tune time for the sea soldiers to celebrate 8 birthday that had slipped by unnOticed.

l94O'S TAX RATE
 TO BE B MILLS
Mayor PerriellO Hopes to Bring Rate Down to
 30 Mills

Waterbury tax rate for the com ing year will be 32 mills. This is the opinion of finance board members who have studied the city's finan- cial condition and the new budget setup for weeks.
 They are still working on the budget and many matters remain to be acted upon but the general con- clusion is that the rate will be low- cred three mills and that 1t will be absolutely impossible to get the rate below that point.
 The reduction in the rate is con- sidered real achievement by the finance board members, considering the fact that pay cut restorations and tremendous item made neces- sary by the Senator Culhane pension bill are figured in the 32 mill csti- mate.
 Every item in all city departments have been discussed, If not acted upon, and the finance board is much further ahead with its work than is usually the case early in November.
 Mayor Patrick M. Perriello is seeking c 30 mill rate but this. ac- cording to the general opinion, is absolutely impossible. While all the cutting possible will be done there are many departmental increases, which are mandatory. such as salary raises in the school department, etc.
 No finance board in years has worked as hard on a budget as the present one. Meetings have been held several nights week and they usually run until midnight.
 In making up your own budget for next year figure on a 32 mill rate and if you don't hit the tax rate right on the nose" you'll be ex- tremely close.
