CAMPAIGN FOR SALE OF RED
 CROSS SEALS
State Director CIearman Pro poses Committees in All Im- portant Communities of Con necticut.

A mammoth campaign for the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals will be made in Connecticut this fall, under the direction of H. E. C1earman, who has charge of the work with head quarters at EIartford. The receipts. as usual. will go to aid the fight against tubeFcul osis, and the sums de- rived in particular localities will be used locally.
 It Is the purpose of State Director Clearman to establish a, committee in charge of the sale in every town of 1,0OO inhabitants and upward in the state. The work has the support of the Connecticut State Tuberculosis commission, and the work in Bridge port enjoys the earnest endorsement of Jonathan Godfrey, a. member of the commission, who hopes that the Bridgeport committee may be strong and zealous in the work.
 Mir. CIearman presents in very clear way the economic advantages of the fight against tuberculosis. and be- lieves that the raxages of this disease cost the state last year an industrial and economic loss of SIP, ,OO0. 900. The better education of the people to the means Of avoiding tuberculosis, aided by the Red Cross and other organiza- tions, has materially reduced the tu- bercuIosis rate in Connecticut during the last ten or twelve years, but the r1alady continues to share with pneu- monia the record for destroying the largest nunQber of men. women and children.

Chairman Gary Of Steel Trust, 6S Today, Saw
 Horrors Of The War

Judge Hlbert Henry Gary. the steel magnat te, who was chairman Of the committee for the relief of American refugees in France at the outbreak or the war, will be sixty eight years old today, having been born at Wheaton. Ill, Oct B. 1S46. The multi million #afre chairman of the board of direc- tors of the United States steel Cor poration began his career as a. country lawyer. and acquired his title as coun- ty judge~of D'uPage county, III. He was one of the chief organizers of the great steel trust the most gigantic industrial corporation the world has ever known. Judge Gary was in Paris during the hrst month of the war; and contributed largely of his time and money in aiding Americans to get out of the country. A little over g. month ago. shortly before he returned to America, Judge Gary took a 200-ntle automobile ride in the rear Of the French armies, and within hearing of the roar of the cannon
 ssI was impressed with the awful hor- TOTS Of war and It's tremendous ex- pense,'' said the steel nnagnate. It is estimated that the actual expenditures for carrying on the war amount to $40 GOO, 900 a day, and this is perhaps lconservative as the indirect loss will be fully equal to the direct. The un- favorable erect upon the economic conditions Of other nations, which must be realized sooner or later. is of great magnitude. The destruction of prop erty aggregatfng billions of dollars in value will be felt in every part of the world Add to this the consequences of the appalling destruction of life, and the total cost of war assumes terrible
 proportions. The instruments Of war,
 the methods of using them, and the facilities for moving armies have been greatly improved, and the destruction | of life must be so rapid it would seem as though the war must necessarily be ended much sooner than might have
 been the case in former times and un- der different conditions.
 When Judge Gary left Paris the Ger mans were almost at the gates of the 1; city, and he described the inhabitants as n1anifesting signs Of fear and dis tress, although there was nothing re- sembling a panic Tn view of the gi- gantic crops, Judge Gary believes that
 America will pass through the crisis safely. sa5s
