The 27th Division was well repre¬ sented at our Saturday night dance. All records for attendance were brok¬ en. The attendance has been in¬ creasing every week so that only about one-third of the boys can dance at a time.

POLICE JUSTICE
where the teller, G.Edward Hemming,'   „„„ overtook him.    In various pock-
was attending to a woman depositor. The man waited until the transaction had been concluded and then asked for ten ones in exchange for a $10 bill. Heming's glance shifted to his coun¬ ter as he reached for the money. When he looked up again, a revol¬ ver was staring him in the face.
"Don't move," said the man, "or ni fire."
Heming thought it was a joke at first but quickly saw the man meant basiness and kept quiet. The man turned, still keeping him covered with his revolver, and made his way to a door close at hand that leads in¬ side the offices. This was at the end of the line of windows.
As the man turned from Heming the two other men who had entered tbe bank with him also drew revol¬ vers, pointed them in the ^neral di¬ rection of the workers insid^the cag cs, up
it except Miss Florence Noon, one of the clerks, who turned and ran into a back room.
The flrst holdup man, meanwhile, found the door to the cage in which Mr. Heming was working was locked and ordered him to open it. When Heming did so the bandit walked to the counter, but the bulk of the cash was in a drawer just beneath the counter. In the front part of the drawer there were piles of bills of various denominations and in the back of it there were apai-tments con¬ taining 160 bills and $100 bills.
The holdup man scooped up the packages that were most available and overlooked the bills of larger de¬ nomination entirely. As soon as he had all of the money that was im¬ mediately before him he backed out of the cage aifid the office. He and his comrades seemed to have but one thought—to do as much as possible quickly and then to make a'getaway without delay.
Nevertheless they went out slowly, still keeping their guns on the bank pepole, and when they reached the door they called out that the first per¬ son to move toward the exit would "g:et the lead."
Besides Miss Noon and Heming thei*e were in the bank at the time William F. Kraft, jr., cashier; Miss Maiy Davis, bookkeeper; Miss Kath¬ erine Golden, stenographer, and Aus¬ tin Wood, bookkeeper. They waited for barely a second and then a rush was made to give the alarm and the Freeport police station had word of the robbery and had notified neigh¬ boring sections, in less than five min¬ ntes after it happened, with the num¬ ber of the car, which had been taken "by Mr. Wood.
Two of the three men were captured shortly before noon at Jamaica. They were Brownstein and Papemel. The latter was shot in the back and right sidv by Patrolman Charles Wandling. The third man escaped into a woods •t Hillside and Qaeens Village.
ets of his clothing they found paper money aggregating $2,300.
The New York Sun, a small Metro¬ politan daily, says their police force last night arrested Henry Berman of 168 Slst Street, on a charge of being implicated in the robbery.

Making Enemies
Some time ago in this column we said that a man who did not make enemies did not do much work. This clipping which came to hand recently emphasizes our idea: "You have no enemies, you say?
Alas, my friend, the boast is poor. He who has mingled in the fray
Of duty, that the brave endure. Must have  made foes.    If you  have
none, You've hit no traitor on the hip; You've dashed no cup from  perjured
lip. I'ou've   never   turned   the   wrong   to
right— You've been a coward in the fight."
Want to Control  the Telephones
We already see our finish when the Post Office gets control of the tele- phons. A package of mail, first class, put in the Rockville Centre Post Office Friday aftemoon, sent from Rockville Centre at 7 o'clock Friday evening reaches us at 9 o'clock Monday morn¬ ing. Further comment hardly seems in order excepting possibly to call at¬ tention to the fact of it taking four days to send second class mail from Freeport to Lynbrook.
And let us add this is no criticism of the Freeport Post OfRce.
Proud of Our Fire Depart ment We still feel we have a right to be proud of the Freeport Fire Depart¬ ment. At the time of the explosion at Baldwin a couple of weeks ago, a call was sent to Freeport for assist¬ ance. It was stated that one house was burning and another had caught flre and help was needed in a hurry. A Freeport man was present when the call was sent in and he tells us that in

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Miss Eleanor Johnson, who has re¬ cently retumed from overseas, gave an interesting account of her voyage and work as a Red Cross nurse, to the students of the High School Tues¬ day moming.
Miss Johnson was formerly a stu¬ dent of our school, and her address was received with great interest and enthusiasm, after which Lawrence Smith proposed "three cheers" which were given with a will.
At the same Assembly Lawrence Cummings presented an outline of Mr. Taft's speech in defense of the League of Nations.
A debate on the League of Nations was held Wednesday morning. The affirmative side was taken by Gilbert Stewart, Ruth Brayton and Harry Se¬ kine, the negative hy Lawrence Smith, Tom Spence and George Baker. The judges found it very difficult to de¬ cide which side had won but finally gave the decision to the affirmative. .The eighth grade from the Seaman Avenue School came down for the de¬ bate.
The boys are getting the baseball diamond at Seaman Avenue ready for practice.

Incidentally a statement by the Rockville Centre Owl that the firemen were unable to get close to the blaze bcause of the flying shells is a freak of imagination as the boys got right in on top of the fire as soon as the water was turned on, and did not at any time withdraw.

How Times Change!
In noting the painting of the fire hydrants of the village this week, it brought to mind the last time this was done and the question raised at that time as to the authority of the Fire Council. When it came time to have the hydrants painted, although the job was not a very bip one, the Vil¬ lage Board, liking to see its authority recognized, insisted on bids being se¬ cured by the Department and submit¬ ted to them. "This was accordingly done with a recommendation by the Fire Department that the lowest bid¬ der be rejected and the contract be¬ ing given to the next lowest bidder. The lowest bidder, however, had a friend in the Board and they disregard¬ ed the recommendation of the Council and gave him the work, and it is a matter of fact that after he began the job he had to hurry it through so that the paint on the first ones did not fade before he got the last ones paint¬ ed, and they have been in that same condition the several years since.
The present plan also illustrates the business management of the present Board of Trustees in having this work done by employees of the village, on a salary, without any expense except for the paint.

Are We Asleep?
We will not now begin to criticise our neighbors, but when we read in the daily papers of places like Glen Cove, Huntington and Babylon proper¬ ly welcoming home their retumed sol¬ diers, we are just a little bit ashamed of the fact that Freeport has done absolutely nothing. We have now in our midst boys from the 15th Regi¬ ment who made a wonderful history for themselves while fighting with the French Army. These boys have been wamnly greeted in other localities, be¬ ing the fiirst organization to officially return home, and yet we have not done the first thing to show our ap¬ preciation of their work.
A few of our neighbors are work¬ ing at the Soldiers' and Sailors' Club entertaining the boys in Service. Their welcome includes every F'reeport man that has ever been in Service whether or not he is in uniform and so long as the Club rooms are open it is his priv¬ ilege to come there for cake and cof¬ fee every Satarday and Sanday even¬ ing, but the men and women who are doing this work have their hands full and there ought to be others in the village to take up this other matter and carry it thru properly. Person¬ ally we consider it more important than a memorial for the boys.

All of thMe are re-elected excepting Judge-elect^ohnson who succeeds Judge Flint. Mr. Johnson has been counsel for the Village Board of Trus¬ tees for the past year.
.All of the propositions were carried the results being strongly in favor excepting for Proposition No. 5, for appropriation of $10,000 for a new hose wagon and pumper for Hose No. 4. This was also carried but by a close vote of 317 to 215, losing the 1st District by 10 votes and winning the second by 112. The women voted in large numbers in the 2nd District and are given the credit for carrying this question through. It is a fact that the women have always been actively in favor of any better equipment desired by the firemen and through their ef¬ forts largely the department was able to purchase its first motor tractor. The purchase of this apparatus will give the Freeport Fire Department a completely motorized equipment, of one truck, one engine, three hose wagons, one combination hose and en¬ gine, and one patrol. The result of the vote on the questions submitted was as follows:

Of course we are to have some me¬ morial of the boys who enlisted from Merrick under the CoUirs. Present feeling favors a bronze tahlet appro¬ priately plated upon the urnunds of the L. I. R.

It is a proper task for tho War Ser¬ vice Committee of the village to see that this tablet, or somethinjr else as effective, materializes before tinnl dis¬ solution of the Committee. The chair¬ man of the Committee. .Mr. Harry Lpich, has taken some action and he wants to talk with anyone \cho has ideas. Could we be so bold as to agi¬ tate for a trophy of the great con¬ flict? One of us thinks we should. We do not know what would consti¬ tute a claim. If it is to have suf¬ fered the supreme satritice, Merrick does not qualify; but if it is to have been willing to, lot us go boldly to it; for our claim is then e(|ual to any.

The Fire Alarm Gong In
the  Review  QCce
It is repeated to us tbat a former oflScer of the Freeport Fire Depart¬ ment is asking why the Nassau Coun¬ ty Review oflice has to have a specisl fire alarm gong in ita bailding. The answer is easy—because the propriet¬ ors are stupid enuf to leave it there— and the members of the track com¬ pany patriotic enuf to pa.y the cost of keeping it there.

Giving Up Commutation
Ticket Business
The business of dealing in commu¬ tation tickets in this village seems tp have been called to a halt. During the past few days representatives of the Railroad Administration have taken the matter actively in hand. Instruc¬ tions have been given to actively en¬ force the provision regarding sign¬ ing the tickets by the holders, and about a dozen were taken up from persons who admitted that they had no right to them, having borrowed or hired them for the day. This hiring of tickets has become a very active business in several Long Island vil¬ lages, among them being Freeport where it was possible to hire tick¬ ets in a half dozen places on Railroad Avenue. Heretofore no real active effort has been made to stop this prac¬ tice, which has grown until the first of the year when around 50 tickets were parchased by the several deal¬ ers for this purpose. During the last few days a special representative of the railroad visited Freeport and after consultation with several of the principal dealers the tickets were re¬ turned to the Company with the un¬ derstanding that the practice would be stopped for the, present and the unsed portion of the tickets would be pail for by the Company.
Regalar commuters on the early trains and the matinee trains on Wed¬ nesdays and Saturdays say that there is an appreciable difference in the travel and that it is now much easier to get a seat. It is figured that Uiat was one reason the use of these tick¬ ets was not stopped before. Not hav¬ ing the commutation ticket many of them used the trolleys or did not visit the metropolis so freqaenuy, the price for hiring the commutation ticket running around 66c against 11.60 tm a regular trip ticket since the Gov¬ ernment raised the rates.
The stat/iments as to profit on these tickets- have been largely overdone. In talking with one of these deal¬ ers, who handles a large number of tickets, he remarked that ift meant putting out about fSOO fSj^r bis'tick¬ ets the first of each m<mth, and tben taking his chance on getting his mon¬ ey back, if businesf was good and none of the tickets were called in by the railroad; ander rogular condltMtu and with no intatforsacc by tiM Bail- road Company, than wao a chaaes of making a good profit on tho imvaet-
