 It was felt by Democratic politi- cal leaders here that much of the Polish and Lithuanian vote in the third ward went for President Roosevelt and they also felt the re- ported antagonism of Italian voters to the president was not borne out here, because of the large second ward plurality gvien the president, this ward having number of 1tal- ian-Americau residents.

Surprise Plurality.

Surprise Plurality.
 One of the major surprises was the third ward vote. The third ward, which up to six years ago was a Republican stronghold, gave President Roosevelt a plurality of 622, the biggest plurality of any lo- cal ward.
 Almost as surprising was the comparatively small 542 plurality given President Roosevelt in the first ward, which is considered nor- mally the strongest Democratic ward here. The President secured a total plurality of 429 in the sec- ond ward, large margin for this, the numerically smallest ward in town.
 The vote by wards for President here was Roosevelt, first ward, 1726; second ward, 1l53; third ward, 1861 {; total, 4540; Willkie, first ward, 1184; second ward, 724; third, ward, 1889; total, 2947; Aiken, 3, l, o; total 4; Willkie (Union ticket) 2; Browder, 9, 0, in the respective wards, a total of 8.
 The vote for state treasurer by wards here was: Anastasio, ist, l526; 2nd 1922; 3rd, 15l4; total, 4o6l; Talbot, 1st, 1885; End, 85l; 3rd 11s4; total, 342o; Talbot (Union) total of 4,

Mr.. Campbell said that the new
generating unit, which has already
been ordered, will be installed at
the company's steam plant at Devon.
An addition will he built to the pres
ent plant to house the huge new gen.
orator with its auxiliaries. Additions
will also be made to the Devon sub
station and to substations at load
centers in other parts of the state to
handle the increased amount of cur
rent. The project will also entail adj
ditions to our present state wide
transmission system.
1.-THE work will actually be spread
over much Of the company's territory
despite the fact that the generating
unit will be installed at Devon" Mr..
Campbell said.
The total cost of the project will
be in excess of four million dollars,
according to Mr.. Campbell, the COM
pany's installed generating capacity
will be increased from 194,145 kilo-
watts to 237 $50 kilowatts.

"But it must be pointed out that
the facts spoke different language
Roosevelt assured the people that he
didn't want war and meantime he
made preparations to arm the
United States to the teeth"
Roosevelt, the newspaper charg-
ed, has played a double game in an
effort to win election. While prom
Using peace himself, he has sent Am
bassador William G. Bullitt out to
"terrorize the voters in order to
make them appreciate the prudent
policy Of the president who promises
to keep the United Sattes out OF
war;"
Bullitt was described as "Roose-

suppose Bullitt doesn't speak casu-
ally. What is most surprising is that
he is saying exactly the opposite OF
what Roosevelt says"
The Corriere said that Gin this
confusion of ideas one thing is Ger
tain-the American people want
peace"
Roosevelt" it suggested, zap
pears to have done this in order to
distract the United States from
troubles resulting from his interna-

if Roosevelt wants to go to war in
order to keep the Americans from

his first papers and the date of his
second papers - petition for citi-
emship.
U IN the World War the American
army had many aliens, some
volunteers. So Congress in 1918
passed a law providing that any
allen serving in the military or
naval forces of the United States
during the war might file a petit
ton for naturalization without
having filed the preliminary dec
.laration, known as the first pa
apers, and without proof of five
years residence in the United
States.
In 1926 Congress passed another
law for the benefit of those aliens
who had not taken advantage Of
the 1918 law. This defined an
allen war veteran as any male
alien, not ineligible for citizenship,
who served in ten country's armed
forces at any time between April
IS, 1917 and November II, 1918.
n Such an alien, if honorably dis
charged from the armed forces
land not convicted of any crime
since, and if he resided in the
United States at any time within
two years of the enactment of the
new law, could get citizenship
under the same terms as those laid
down in the law of 1918.
!. Similar laws for the same pur-
pose, and each expiring after a
few years, were enacted in 1929,
1882 and 1899. The last one ex-
pired last May.
Il A prominent member of the
House Committee on Military Al
fairs said that the opinion of his
colleagues on the committee was
that there was vast difference
between the 1910 case and that of
s1917-18.
s In 1917, men Joined the armed
forces when the nation was at war
and that very fact made probable
Jeopardy for their life and limb.
x In the present selective service
draft, the men are being called
up not for war but for peacetime
preparedness.

81 and IS inclusive must register.
It further provides that every male
alien residing in the United States,
who has declared his intention to
become citizen, shall be liable for
etraining and service in the armed
forces of the United States.
If such aliens are to be reward
led later by a quick way to natur-
Ealization, special laws will have
to be passed by Congress just as
was done during and after the
World War.
Present naturalization laws say
that no alien can acquire American
citizenship before five years resi-
dence in the United States and six
months residence in the country
where he applies for papers.
= His first paper - a declaration OF
Intention to become a citizen -
may be made out at any time after
he has been admitted legally to
permanent residence.

years and not more than seven
must elapse between the date Of

The japanese are carrying on an
extensive campaign to arouse
hatred of the white man among
the Indo-C Chinese. They are spread
ing pamphlets explaining the new
order in Asia, and, in Haiphong,
are fraternizing with the Indo-
Chinese while demanding that
Europeans show Japanese passes,
without which they are not al
lowed to walk the streets.
The atrocity stories for the most
part are not exaggeratd, although
two offers who had escaped by
walking IS miles in and out OF
Japanese lines said that eight
Frenchmen had been bayonetted to
death when they tried to escape.
The front is quiet save fol-
roaming Japanese guerilla bands
which had been augmented by
renegade Indo- Chinese. The Off
GERS said there had been no firing
at the front for three days.
1t was related how Major LOU
vet, commander of the Dong Dang
garrison had been killed. He had
been accommodating the frontier
on a motorcycle, and came across
a group of Japanese crossing a
bridge. He dismounted to open
negotiations, but was shot down.

he had been promised $4,000 for his
part in the theft but had received
only 5000. He named william Kwiat-
kowski, a convicted plagariSt, as
ringleader in the plot.
Lynch said the theft was made
with aid of a forged letter from the
president of Middlebury College to
the head of Williams College. The
letter enabled him to use the col
lege library for research, and gave
him the opportunity to substitute a
carefully made dummy for the rare
folio, a book measuring 8 by 1a
inches and contained in a heavy
red-morocco cover fooled in gold.
