spectators. Hardly any one thought
that history was to be made on May

Chairman Barker of the committee
Ho stated the
action of the committee. He voted
in favor of the bill, but the commit-

come for submitting this important
question to the voter. But the com-
mittee by a vote of 8 to 3 decided
otherwise. He had agreed to move
.that the report of the committee be
accepted and the resolution rejected,
but he would vote against his own
motion and ft)I_1_lhe resolution.

WAR EFFECTS SCHOOLS l

The present war has hit and willi
hit the public and private schools of;
Norwalk hard. Although under that
proposed draft law. there are only a
few of the pupils in the public schools
who may be taken. In the private
schools of this city, there are a large
number who are liable for military
duty. In fact Mayor Carl Axel Har-
strom has lost three or four pupils
who have joined the training camp of
the Reserve Officers. other schools
in this city will be, affected in a like
manner.
it is probable that. it‘ war becomes
gat; stern as predicted, the majority of
school boys‘ will be needed as messen‘
