Streams of frightened ref- Iigoes have been pouring Into Fort De France from all the surrounding coun- try. These people are not destitute. ‘but they are terrified. They want only one thing and that Is to be taken far away from this Island, with which they say the Gods are angry and which they will destroy by fire before it sinks under the sea. The consuls here and the effluent of the vessels in the harbor are waylaid by scores of persons erased with fear and ogglug to be carried away The west or is now calm and beautiful but the mountain to veiled In volcanic clouds which often assume a vsrr threatening aspect and occasional rumblings are heard.

The po- lice who are on duty at present are giving excellent service and are doing more to keep down vice and crime than many departments’of twice the size. It has almost been II. common saying on the streets of South New walk that whenever you wanted a po- Ilceman especially In the day time. you could not find one at the police Station. This Is virtually true. far there Is only one man on duty from 6 o'clock in the morning to the same hour in the evening. Chief of Police William Vollmar goes on early in the morning. His office hours are from 3'to 10. and the afternoon from 2 to 3. Most of the time be Is patrolling the streets and no one Is at the office. He Is handicapped. In case of an emergency call Where three or four policemen are required immediately. The night than do not go on dutiy until 7 o’clock In the evening. and In case they are wank}! during the day, the chief does not now just where to look for them at all times. as none of the men feel like sleeping all day and frequentIy go out for a little recreation.‘ Many times telephone messages have gone into the police station dur- lug the day and the call was not one wored. A messenger would bé sent to the center of the city and still no officer could be Immediately found as hIef Vollmeu makes regular trips to sight and cannot be found at the office. when as a matter of fact. they are not to blame. When Chief Vollmer goes to dinner. onset the night officers goes on duty until he returns. Then he is alone again until the night force relieves him. The same condition of affairs exist» ed In Danbury when Captain Keating was at the head of the force. but mat- tors were remedied somewhat by Ills captain calling at the office every hour during the day. _ He would take a walk out ardund the city. consuming about fifteen minutes, then spread the remainded of the hour in the office. In this way he could always be found. The central telephone operators knew when he was in and when he was out. If there was a call at the police sta tion over the ”phone. when the cap- tain was out. Information could be given when he would be In. This syo tern proved quite satisfactorily until different arrangements Wore made and the chief was kept in the office one tirely. . Some of the night patrolman are seen on the street late in the after. noon and many citizens think that they are on duty but such is not the case. This matter has come up be fore the Council before. but no action has b ntakeu. Fifteen years ago the semen unmber of men were on duty as at present Blght years ago. there was one man more than at present. and the city is growing every year.
