 Another Appeal by General Hill.
 Another appeal has been been made by General Chairman Hill as follows:
 Alexander the Great once sighed be- cause there were no more worlds for him to conquer. If we had him in job His Macedonian phalanxes were invincible and We must, soldiers of prOgressiveness, use the phalanx in carrying forth our campaign. The time is growing short and not single spear of grass can be allowed to grow under our feet There must be no sleeping on our arms or turk ing within the interenchments. The skirmish is over and we are in pSsi ton on the firing line So far We have met few reverses-henceforth, we must meet none.
 Up and at em" was once a famous battle order. It must be our inspira- tion now The charge is at hand and we must win the fight even though we do it by the bayonet. None of the worlds great generals knew what 1t was to pause in his movements. We must draw our lessons from them. If one man lags, he clogs the whole sys- tenn, so you all, each and individually, must keep on the Qui vive, determined to do your best to make Norwich boom and to inject the serum of business progress into what our rivals would 1 term moribund city.
 We are not dead by long shot; nor have we been crippled But we will be l if we permit the Thermos bottle works to locate elsewhere than in Norwich If we lose this fight the influence will be felt for years. Should another op- portunity like this offer every one will shirk the task when they think of what has gone before.
 ! But there must be no failure. OuI lexicon has dropped that word. We are enthused with the spirit of victory and will not be content uneil we have the glory of the waving flags and the joy of the applauding shouts We dare not run the risk of undergoing tht humiliation and scorn of defeat. Nol could we stand for the scorn that would follow losing fight.
 The welfare of future generation! of Norwich citizens rests upon oul success. With the location here of { large and expanding industry, tn, healthy business growth of the cit! receives a decided impetus-one tha will induce other industries to seel our midst, We have all to gain anC nothing to lose and each of you mus feel that his individual share in thi Is as much for himself as for the cit, at large.
 As I have said before, we must 'uI and at 'em." Do not waver, men, il
 your loyalty and devotion to you home, the Rose of New England. Le every move be an advancing one and with the bright and glowing sunshin of this beautiful day as an inspiration let US endeayor to make it a banne day. Use your arguments as neve
 before and leave no stone unturned t , capture the coin. We need it-mus
 have it-and all the city is listenin
 with eager, anxious ears for the te
 strokes of the bell. How many of yo will score 8 ten-strike today?
