For Two Ni^ts
The Island ot Watti WattI was transferred to the American Theatre, last Tuesday and Wednesday evenings The Freeport Lodge ot Elks, the "Best People on Earth" by special dis¬ pensation brought the island with its big cheese, A. B. Wallace, and wild men and wild women to Freeport and used the iMxir, innocent little island aa a vehicle tor the amusement of more than 1,500 people, who crowded the theatre on both evenings.
The Elks niembers never acquitted themselves more credifa.bly as hum¬ orists and singers Than they did Tues¬ day and Wednesday nights. The min¬ strel work was good and the sketch was cxoeedlngty laugh provoking. Stephen P. Pettit as the interlocutor was vitally pleasing. The endnien, Charles Sigmond, Frankiiu G. Hill, Thomas J. GUlen and Hilly Wolff, held the audience with their jokes and aongs. George .McCord, Edward Ke¬ ogh, Jr, Milton E. Heyward, Dr. Hen¬ ry V. Holcomb and William H. Whit¬ ner (the Hawaiian dancer) pleased, also.
The Hawaiians taking part were John Canavan, George .McCord, Her¬ bert H. Miller, Henry E. Betzig, Kd¬ ward Keogh, Jr., Carroll .McCord, Chas J. Betzig, and Milton E. Heyward.

Earon, Curtis Fulton, Alfred Funke, Hoy D. Pearsall, Ciiarles .McOllan, Charles .Moravec, John S. Denton, Jean O'Neill, Adolph Weiss and Dr. H. V. Holcomb.
During fhe iiiterniission Addie Tyde¬ man and Dr. Urban I/Africian intro¬ duced a skit entitled "Tbe girl, the boy and the piano." Miss Tydeman in a «"ontralto voice of rare sweetness rend¬ ered several solos and doubled up with Dr. L'Africain In aeveral duets.
The scheme work in the Island ot Watti Watti was in t^ffect that the king had not laughed in twenty years and the last day had arrived in which he was given to lauKh else a great calamity would occur on the island. A company of movie men, producing the Governor's Boss arrived and were seized as prisoners. Bill Wolff, as Jimmy I>olon, the movie man. prom¬ ised to make the king-A. B. Wallace —laugh, el.se forfeit his life.
After many vain afteiups Charlie Sigmond happened to whisper a joke to the kiiiK which produced the nec¬ essary result.^. The king laughed and
Charlie exclaimed "Why in didn't
you .say you wanted to hear thai kind of a .joker' The cast in fhis sketch included: Bifr I'heeso. A. B. Wallace, Jimmy Dolon, Billy Wolff; Bill Fillum Thomas J. Glllen; Peter a iion, B.

YOUR FLAG AND MY FLAG
by 'Wilbur D. Nesbit
Your flag and my flag.
And how it fles lo-day In your land and my land
And half a world r.way! Rose-red and blood-red
The stcipes forever gleam; Snow-white and aoul-white—
The good forefathers' dream; Sky-blue and true blue, with stars to
gleam aright— The gloried guidon of the day; a
shelter through tho night.
Your flag and my flivg! To every star and stripe
The drums beat as hearts beat And flters shrilly pipe!
Your flag and ray flag— A blessing in the sky;
Your hope and my hope- It never hid a lie!
Home land and far land and half the world around.
Old Glory hears our glad salute and ripples to the sound!
Your flag and my flag!
And, oh. how ranch it holds - Your land and my land—
Secure within its folds! Your heart and my heart
Beat quicker at the sight; Sun-kissed and wind-tossed— \
Red and blue and white. The one flag—the great flag- the flag
for me and you— Glorified all else be.'side—fhe red and
white and bine!
MEN ARE LAID OFF WITHOUT NOTICE
Pumping J^tation Em¬ ployes Discharged on Wednesday
The Brooklyn Water Works .shut down tight, AVednesday afternoon. All the laborers along the aqueduct between Ridgewood and Massapequa were briefly informed that their ser¬ vices would no longer be required. They were lead to believe that they wore merely suspended, but It Is ap¬ parent to all the men affected that the Calskill supply into the City of New York Is so heavy that no more need will be required of the old aq¬ ueduct.
Some of the engineers and firemen aro holding on, buf there Is practic¬ ally no work for them. None of tho engines for pumping wafer are going, as a matter of fact the pipes are dry. The waler supply trom the Catskills on the other liand i'« so hea-\-y that fhe pipes laid fwenf.j- odd years ago are bursting in the cUy. Thirty lbs. presiire lo the square Inch are belnc shot fhrough and tbe old pipes long planted, can not satisfy this pressure.
Tn the meantime nothing has been done hy the city in caring for flic mon who composed the laborers' list. They are loft flat wltbont means of support, unless they cnn ohtain em¬ ployment olswhere. The suddenness of fhe notire took the mon off their cuard. They know in a way that the aqueduct was likely to ho shut down, but they had expected at least two week's formal notice.

PIIOTECT LOM. ISLAM)
Owing lo I.ong Island hoins in dose proximity to .New Vork City as well as to tho munition piants of Connec¬ ticut, many feel that we miKlit be the objective point in case of an attack by an invading force.
Realizing llie exposed condition of our coar.ts Cong. Hicks has taken the matter up ¦with the Navy Department and havo called their attention to tho facta and have ursed them to extend the fullest protection to the district.
He trusts the district will feel as¬ sured that wc will do all in our pow¬ er, with the means at hand to afford security.
He says, arthoueli not fully recov- I ered from his recent Illness he is glad to be back at his post in 'Wash¬ ington at this critical time.
(By Special Co.respondent) Freeport High School basebell sea¬ son opened on April llth at Garden City against Sl. Paule School. From now nufll June eighth the local team will be kept busy as nineleen contests are on the schedule arranged by .Mgr. Plump. The home games will be played on the Seaman Ave. grounds, although a large part ot the outfield i.s now occupied by a now house and garage. In all ptobabiUty a wire screen will be put up to shield these and the diainond will be shifted a liltle.
The .Nassau County League will have six members this year, Wood- mere having been admitted to niem- bership at Ihe annual meeting last month. The other teams arc Rock¬ ville Cenire. Lawren<e, Hempsiead, l.ynbrook and Freeporf. Henipstead has a promi.«inK team fhis year and on Wedne.'^day defeated St. Paul s School. Another schf'ol from which much is expected is Woodmere.
The line np of the local team is problematical at thi.s time, several positions being in doubt. Captain Rollo is a fixture in the box. This is his third year on the team and he should be bettor than ever. George Callan, the left handcr will relieve Rollo occasionally. The former play¬ ed in fhe out-field a year ago.
Spence and 0 Dea are trying for catcher. Both are new men and there is little to choose between fhem Spence, if unsuccessful, may make the toaiii as an out-fielder. Rollo and Callan will probably alternate at first base, this depending on the form displayed by Smith and Heuerraan, the olher contestants.
The center of the infield will be taken care of by .Schwab and Jolmson the well known hit killers. They have, been plajiiug together for several years now and their team work is first class. Grifenhageii is opposing Schwab but beating Irving ai second base is a job a bit beyond Grifenha- gen's ability. Bergen and Rubenstein are running neck and neck for third, both being capable of guarding tlial station.
Some of the outfield candidates are Mahnken, Swezey, Dcagon, Ryan, Reach, Connor and Kgan. Swezey looks to be the be.st of the hunch and should earn one place, while Smilh may look after another, leaving one open.
The team is without a coach this year although Millon (Pilly) Raynor says he will help whenever it is pos¬ sible for hira to do .so. ''Phil" Colyer well known to Freeport tans, will keep .score this year, "Phil" has been following the team for years and is well versed in all points of the same.

>EW TOWN HALL
The Town Board Tuesday took the flrst step toward the erection ot the new town hall, tor which the people voted $76,000 on April 3rd. On motion of Justice ot the Peace Jones, the sup¬ ervisor was authorized to appoint a committee to confer with a committee which the Heml)stead Village Board Is requested to appoint, and to report back to the Town Board.
One of the flrst steps necessary Is to decide upon a sit*. It has been suggested that the hall be built on the Harper park. Thla would be an Ideal place and its construction there would allow the town to use the pres¬ ent building until the new one Is com¬ pleted.

BOY SCOUTS WHI RESPOND TO Ci
System of Signals Fol
School and Business
Places
That Ihe boy scouts are in readinea to render service to their country signal work and flrst aid in Red Croa service was evidenced last Tuesda evening when 49 of the boy scouts ot the village iroops under Scout¬ master, Herman Gissel, responded to a mobilization call in 90 minutes. V\(»rd was conveyed lo a dozen boys, who in turn conveyed it to others and thus t>y a series of comniunlca¬ llons tho call for inohilization was >;iven and the worii eflected in record time liiidcr the lirc.inistances.
The scout boys are showing their pairiotic training splendidly. Every morning two iKiys go to the Vigilant HoM' house and raise the Stars and Stripes. In tho owning they lower Old Glory and carry it home. The hoys relay in this work, weekly. Scout¬ master Gissel asks lor the privilege of raisin.u the flag on the pole in front of Smith and nedell's on Church and Main streets. The flag here is flown only on special occasions.
In working cmt a i Ian of mobiliza- ion for boys scouts school and employ have been considered. A call for em- crKcncy may be issued durhig school hours or hours of employment. Tho scouiinastcrs and deputv "commission¬ ers are requested fo wtate the address and phon,. nuniber of their place ot study or business, as well as their residences. To facilitate temporary absence of scouts from school or bua¬ iness an agreement with the school authorities shall l.c s-rianged where¬ by scouts eliieiMo fnr service mav be oxcnaed from sessions on an author¬ ized emergency call. Efforts must al.so be made by tbe scoutmaster to a.scertain if fhe employer will permit bis employe-scout to respond to mo¬ bilization calls.
It ia plainly seen that the boy .scouts have worked out an excellent svstem and will doubtless be of considerable service fo the home guards in fha event of hostilities.
