 T'm not able to tell you the names of the towns where the Lot tas are assigned near the front, be- cause that is a military secret" Miss Luukkonen continued. T can say though, that many Lottas often have heard the military command CTS say: I know I ought to tell you to withdraw from the immediate zone of fighting, but if you abso- lutely want to stay here, I won't hinder it, because we need you very much
 "Is 1t necessary for me to say that in all these cases the Lottas stayed at their posts?
 "The first Lotta to be killed was in private life a teacher at a little hamlet in northern Finland, killed by 3 shot on the second day of the war. She was young woman who left civilian work because she said she would have to help her country in time of danger.
 "Frequently the Lottas must sleep outdoors in 8 temperature 30 or more degrees below zero. This type of work naturally is not for every one, but the knowledge that we are defending our land helps us not to give up. I can give you an exam pie:
 "In a certain town two Lottas were ordered to stay in an office in a tower. Some hours later Rus sians bombed the city, and all in- habitants evacuated to air raid shelters. The bombardment was very heavy, and several houses were set on fire.

ROSE BASILS
 SUIT RESUMED
$5,OOO Action Against C. R. X L. Co. Based on
 Trolley Rail Fall

The 5000 action of Rose Basil against the Connecticut Railway & Lighting Co.,, was resumed in the Court of Common Pleas this morn- ing. When court recessed at 1 o. clock Attorneys Michael V. Blans- field and Harry Albert, counsel for the Basil woman, had practically completed the presentation of their case.
 The action is the result of in- juries suffered by the plaintiff when she tripped over an allegedly ele- vated trolley rail on North Main street near the Alhambra theater in August of 1888.
 The case has caused considerable attention due to the fact that it was started twice prior to the court hearing now going on before Judge Miles M. McNiff.
 The case was originally started before a jury and was withdrawn and then started before the court and was withdrawn second time as result of legal complications.
 It is expected that the case will be finished this afternoon or to- morrow morning.
