The new Rear Admiral is
making love to Princess Anna"
she giggled And her Majesty
is in a black mood"
1t was all over the palace but
the lovers didn't care.
But Catherine was mad as a
wet hen. An Empress to be stood
up by a common sailor Besides
Anna knew all about her goings
on at the Palace That wouldn't
do at all So that fat old lady
started scheming.
One day Paul was to meet
Anna, but Catherine sent him
off to the Baltic and wouldn't
let him get in touch with the
Princess. When he got back the
girl had disappeared. He wrote
to her but GATHERINGS secret
police stopped all the letters be-
tween them and took them to
the Empress.
But he was near mad looking
for his Anna and she trying
every day to see the Empress.
But the Queen wouldn't let her
in the palace. And the secret po-
lice were frightening the girl to
death and pretending that Paul
didn't love her any more. SO she
wrote a letter TO the Empress
and asked if she could go to the
nunnery of Novo Devichy near
her home outside Moscow. And
Catherine saw that she went
there.
Now Rear Admiral Jones went

But that didn't stop Paul
Jones.
He got down to Chisholm. a
small island near Stockholm. He
had to find sailors tough enough
TO get him over to Russia and he
knew darned well where to fini
them. He found them in an old
dive near the water front.
Then he bribed them with gold

to the Crimea and met Potem-
kin.
He was a great hairy giant
with one eye, strong as a bull
and with much the same habits.
He had three so-called nieces
which he changed as often as
Catherine changed her adjutant
generals.
Crazy as a loon, he was. used
to go on terrible benders with
the nieces, then he'd wake up
with the horrors and go religious
for a spell. But he was like a
king and whoever he didn't like
soon died. But Paul fought his
battles for him and won them,
too. But there was more jealousy
and Catherine. crazy jealous at
this calm Yankee who'd turned
her down. was after his blood.
She found out Anna was about
to have a baby and accused
Jones OF everything. Then she
fixed up a bad woman TO frame
him. Then gave him two years
leave to get out of the country.
She'd have publicly disgraced
him but for the friends he'd
made who begged that wicked
old Empress for mercy.
And he never saw Anna again.
She died soon after her boy
was born and Paul Jones never
even knew about it.
There's one story that Anna
escaped from the convent and
+ dressed in boys clothes rode
over those icy steppes to Paul.
And he used to meet her near
Sevastopol. And they were mar
ried in a church there. They
say that Catherine found out
and had the records burned.
Others say he married Anna ac-
cording to Scottish rite. That is
that the witnesses take the place
: OF the parson. Anyhow they
fooled Catherine and were mar
.ried. But she ruined their lives
for the girl did die and Rear
Admiral Paul Jones never saw
his son.
Driven from Russia in dis
grace he wandered Europe like a
homeless dog He wouldn't go
back to America because Cath
crime had seen to it that the
dirty yarn of that street woman
got to France where the lords
and ladies chartered over it like
magpiess
At last he went to live quietly
in Paris.
But he died there of a broken
heart.
He was buried in the Protes-
tant Cemetery in a lead coffin.
And what with the Revolution
and such that coffin was lost
for years. They found it in
1905. And in 1913 the body of
Americas greatest seaman was
brought to Annapolis by an
American squadron and placed |
in the crypt of the chapel of
the Naval Academy.
And that's the yarn Of Conn.,
modore John Paul Jones. Born |
under an unlucky star he risked |
his life for his country. for great
honors and for love, and lost |
them all because of the jealousy |
of lesser men and women.
He rose from the lowest rung |
in the ladder to the topmost |
spire of his time. And then he
sank right back again.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-03-12

General Secretary Herbert s. Smith, says that the Canadian press report was in error when it said that YMCA Secretary Russel l.. Durgin had just arrived in Japan, to supervise the YMCA. work for prisoners of war in Japan. Russel Durgin has been the American YMCA representative in Japan for many years. He is staying on the job, and will know what is going on but the work for our prisoners in Japan will be under the direction of neutral YMCA secretaries, such as Swiss, or Swedish, and says Sec retary Smith, the YMCA in the in- terest of speed, may use Swiss na- tionals who are now residing in Japan.
 However, Smith says, that all YMCA work in Japan comes under the general supervision of our American representative, along with Secretary Saito, the national YMCA head for Japan. Both secretaries, Durgin and Saito, are friends of the local general secretary. Secretary Durgin spent three days in Water bury about five years ago as the guest of the Waterbury YMCA. He came to Waterbury to study the YMCA system of branches, because Waterbury is the only city of 100,- 900 with more than one branch YMCA.
 The prisoners in Japan are na- turally Americans, Australians, Bri- tish, Canadians, Dutch end Indians. General Secretary Smith says, that there is no question but that all will receive good treatment when they arrive at the prison camps.
 The YMCA, being international is serving the prisoners of about 25 nations. There are about 5000, 1000 confined in 600 different prison camps. The United States gov- ernment, says Secretary Smith, and the Japanese government are sigma tories to the Geneva convention of 1929 which guarantees this welfare work for prisoners on both sides. In the present conflict the Japanese government and the U. s. govern ments, have both granted the h. ternational YMCA the rifht to en- ter all prison camps, and carry on work for the prisoners there.

WATER METER DAY
 TODAY, TOMORROW
Specific Complaints Over Present Charges Must Be
 Filed By Saturday

Naugatuck, March 12-Tomorrow and Saturday will be water meter rates day" at the Town Hall. That is anyone who has not made a specific complaint about the present water rates, and who wishes to do so, should call at the borough clerks office, room in the Town Hall either Friday or Saturday.
 He should bring his last water bill, and be prepared to give infor- nation on what his bill was under the flat rates, how many are in his house and what kind of house it is, that is one, two or three story.
 A number of complaints have been made but it is felt by the water meter committee that the more complaints received, the more added weight will the local protest to the public utilities commission have. Names of compliments will nots be disclosed.
 At a public meeting recently the courtroom was. not large enough to hold those who wished to com- plain. Those who did not have spe- cific information then should pres ent it tomorrow and Saturday as well as others who feel the present rates are not equitable.
 Friday and Saturday will be the final opportunity for this as 1t is necessary to start and collect the information into form for presen- tation to the utilities commission Warden Leo J. Brophy, chairman of the water rates committee, will soon request a meeting of the utilities commission.

 Warning From |Com.M'Carthy
Highway Dept. Head Re- fers to Factory WOrk-
 ers' Deaths

Pointing out that so far this year four factory work CTS have been struck and killed by automobiles while on their way to work during dark hours, Motor Vehicles Commissioner John T. Me Carthv today urged pedes- trianS and drivers to ''meet changed highway conditions with increased caution.
 "The recent adoption of war time has increased the hours of darkness in the morning, and extra factory shifts bring unusual numbers of pedestrians and cars onto the high ways at all hours, Commissioner Mccarthy said.
 -Four factory workers, three of them in the early morning hours, one in the early evening, were struck down on their way to work by drivers who claim they saw them too late to avoid striking them. Three of the workers were walking along the highway.
 Tt is obvious that similar trage- dies can be limited only by all of us bearing in mind constantly that highway conditions have changed, and by walking and driving with the increase in caution that these conditions require"
 The commissioner suggested that pedestrians defend themselves by never assuming that just because you see the lights of car, the driver sees you"
 He warned drivers to be constant ly alert for pedestrians, especially after dark, mad to drive at such a speed that a successful emergency stop could be made.
 Three of the fatalities to. which the commissioner referred occurred in Southington. Killed were Elsie Tyrrell, 18, March 3; Edward J. Brown, 78, March 4; Ralph Girour- ard, 73, January 9, all of South ington. Stanley s. zdanowicz, 48, of Bridgeport, was killed in that city on January 13.
