perpignan, French Spanish From teir, Feb. 2.--(UP)--Armies of Gen. Francisco Franco closed in on Ger ana today with announcement that they had captured and occupied the town of Berga, on the central Ca- talan front.
 Berga lies midway between Sec De Urgel, on the extreme western wing of the advance, and the town of Vich, in the center of the offen- sive into the northeast corner of Catalonia still held by the Republi- cans. The advance put the Nation alists in control of the Pyrenees communications lines with an open road to Gerora.

 More than 13,000 hotel rooms in Boston already are announced as available to accommodate what is expected to be the record-breaking attendance at the encampment which will celebrate the fortieth an- niversary of the founding of the Gold Chevron Order" at Columbus, Ohio, September g, 1899. The fact that this will be the first time in its history that the V. F. W. has held its annual encampment at Bos- ton, and that the Bay State City is easily accessible from many of the most heavily populated V. F. w. states in the east, are among the factors expected to contribute to an all-time high record in attendance, Adjutant General Handy said.
 Mrs. Bessie Hanken, Revere, Mass, 9 past national president of the v. F. W. Ladies Auxiliary, will be women's chairman for the en- campment, and Newell D. Warner, of Boston, will be general chairman of the annual convention of the Military Order of the Cootie, fun degree of the V.

the Citizens Volunteer Hose Corn- pany. Each company had a band to head its organization in line. Promptly at 1:3o p. m. the alarm was sounded and the companies left their stations for the north side of the Green. At 9 o'clock, the parade got underway.
 Line of March
 The line of march generally com prised East Main street to Cherry street to North Main street to Bank street to Meadow street and back to town to the Green, where the bands consolidated, and led by the late Major Steele of Hartford, Colts band, played the Second Regiment March, g most popular military number of the times.
 The Monitors will recall all of this history at their coming gathering; they do 1t every year, adding on a little from what they have heard since the last meeting.
 The Monitor Fire Hose Company was disbanded by the board of pulp lie safety in 1898 when the real ad- vance in @ paid force was made the year before with the opening of the Burton street station. At the same time, Phoenix Company and also the Citizens and Mutuals passed out of the picture. The Rose Hills car- ried on for 6 few years, as did also the Protectors of Brooklyn. The Gay Brass Citys of the eastern part of the town remained in service longer than any of the others. But they had to 90, too, when their station was taken over by the first autono- bile bumper introduced into Wa terbury.
 Old Roster
 Just for observation, here is the roster of the old Monitor Company when 1t went out of service, to wit:
 Foreman, Otto Wendehack; first assistant foreman, John E. Platt; second assistant foreman, Octave Pettitjean; secretary, William H. Precht; treasurer, oscar B. Parker.

 It's a great old gathering, these Monitor affairs, not that they have many in attendance for they do not, but there are just enough present always to revive the days of long ago when annual parades of the de- partment were held in the month of September and when the whole town turned out to see their favor ite volunteer fire company on show
 Oh, What Days!
 The factories closed in the after noon; the schools shut down, ant there was a general holiday for al those interested. Here comes thu Monitors" one of their friends would exclaim, as the foreman appeared in advance of the others, with his two assistants a few steps in the rear, followed by the rank and filt drawing one of the most up to date parade carriages that ever appeared in any firemen's procession. And al the head of the line, always, was the crack Wheeler & Wilson band of Bridgeport. They generally ar- rived in the morning, saluted the company by playing several selec- tions in front of the old fire house on the east side of Bank street half way between Grand and Meadow streets. Just as soon as the band playing ceased, the musicians were invited inside, and from that time on for the rest of the day, good fellowship and jollification prevailed And 1t was the same all over town Out East with the Brass Citys, up fl, the Abrigador with the red shirted Rose Hills, over in Brooklyn with the Protectors, up in Phoenix ave- nue with the Phoenix Company, and over in Scovill street with the Mu- tual Hook and Ladder Company and

MESSENGER BOYS
 HELDFOR TRIAL
Had Dizzy Week in New York on Funds They
 Had Stolen

Boston, Feb. 2--CUP)-With only memories remaining of 6 gay, dizzy week in New York financed with stolen funds, two East Boston mes senger boys were ordered held in $2500 bail each today for the grand jury.
 George E. Derome, 1S, who found temptation too great when he cashed $586 in checks entrusted to him by F. L. Putnam & Company, Boston investment brokers, pleaded not guilty in municipal court to larceny of $32,840 in stocks, checks and cash.
 John Enos, also 1S, who accom- panied Derome on his whirl of night life in Manhattan, waived examination on a charge of being an accessory after the fact. The court was informed that Enos al- ready was on probation from East Boston district court on a robbery attempt charge.
 Flashy Attire Gone
 Their fashy attire of a week ago gone, the defendants wore checked lumber jackets at their arraign- ment.
 The two youths were brought back to Boston last night from New York, where they were arrested last Saturday when, with only so cents left between them, they were unable to pay their bill in a West Side bar and grill.
 Derome, tossing aside nearly $25,- 900 in securities also entrusted to him by the Putnam Company and later recovered, left Boston for New York with Enos Jan. 20. In Manhattan they bought new ward robes that would rival those Of screen stars.
 They saw two movies or three hurlesque shows a day, they told police. Mornings they hired horses and rode in Central Park. They dined at Jack Dempsey's restaurant and drank at Mickey Walkers bar. They visited Greenwich Village, the Empire State Building, Radio City and Chinatown.
 GirlS Fleece Vnem
 With Deron1e posing as the son of steel magnate and Enos as his butler, they picked up a girl named Rose and her chum who re- lieved them of $l80 when they fell asleep.
 '"The poor girls might have needed the money" said Derome.
 They paid $l6.50 apiece for fourth-row seats at the Louis- Lewis bout, but 1t was over be- fore they could open box of choc- elates they had brought with them.
 When Police Sergeant John Dun- lAavy asked Derome if he would do it again, the youth replied:
