MOTHER FOLLOWS
 CHILD TO GRAVE
Mrs. Catherine LaZar Dies At Hos- pitaI Following Funeral Of
 Her Infant.

Unusually sad is the death toll in the family of Samuel Lazar of 33 Mill street. Yesterday afternoon the fun eral of the infant child of MT. and Mrs. Lazar was held and last night the mother, critically ill at the New Britain General Hospital since the birth of the infant. followed her baby into the Great Beyond.
 Mrs. LaZar was 39 years of age small children, Helen, aged years; William, aged years; John, aged years; and Michael, aged 3 years. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at o'clock from the Erwin inortuary chapel in the Fairview cem- etery. Rev. A. c. Theodore Steege, pastor of St. Mattews German Luth- eran church. will officiate and inter- ment will take place in Fairview cem- etery.
 What makes this case the more sad is the pitable Restitution of the family. The father is in feeble health, suffer- ing from rheumatism and asthma so is unable to work hard or steadily. The expenses of the family has been heavy and when the baby died it was to have been buried at the city's eX- penSe. The father managed to scrape together enough to pay the bill. He was left with but seventy-fve cents to his name and sick wife and four little ones to support. The death of his wife has proved a crushing blow.

PLANNING RAIDS ON
 AMERICAN TERRITORY
Gen. Villa Attributes His Present Sit- 
 uation to Failure of U. S. To
 Support Him.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Attributing his present situation to the failure of the U. s. government to support him, Gen. Villa is planning raids on Amer ican territory al ' the border, ac- corafng to information which has reached Major General Funston, com Bmanding the American border guard. In reporting this to the war de- Epartment today Gen. Funston said he 2could not believe Gen. Villa contem- plated any such hazardous undertak- ling, and added that he was transmit ] ting the reports merely to show what Villa was sa.1 to be telling his fol- flowers.
 General Obregon, the Carranza Commander, will ask authority to #transfer 5000 men through United
 States territory to Naco, where they
 Twill cross the line to attack the Villa
 forces. General Funston indicated that the present whereabouts of Will
 las main body was still a matter of conflicting reports.
 An additional machine gun pla-
 toon and four troops of cavalry have
 been sent to reinforce the American
 garrison at Naco, Arizona. General
 Funston said the other border garri- sons are strong enought for any pres
 entA,emergency.

French Claim Success.

Paris, Dec. 1, 2:30 p. m-The French official report on the progress of hostilities given out by the war of flee this afternoon, says that French artillery has been energetically en- gagged along the River Somme.
 There have been also certain at tacks on German aeroplanes in which the French were successful. Other wise there is nothing new to report.
 The text of the communication fol- lows:
 Nothing occurred last night worth recording, with the exception of en- ergetic cannonading by our artillery in the sector of the Prise valley of the river Somme. This activity fol- lowed the explosbn of a German mine, which, however, did no damage.
 Attack German Machines.
 Tn the Artois district one of our aeroplanes yesterday attacked two German machines behind the Ger man lines. One of these machines was compelled to come down to the ground. The other fled and was pur- sued as far as Doul.
 During the day of Nov. 29, q French aeroplane threw down six shells of 90 millimeter calibre on some barracks located close to the railroad station at Lens. Thesa buildings were seriously damaged"

BRITISH ABLE TO
 BEAR WAR BURDEN
Premier Asquith Declares in Ad-
 dress at Labor Conference

London, Dec. 1, 1:15 D. m.-The belief that British shoulders were strong enough to bear whatever bur- den the war was imposing upon the country and that all classes would gladly make the sacrifices for which they were called upon was expressed by Premier Asquith today. The premier's expression of confidence was voiced before a representative labor conference of large size which as- sembled to consider the best means of husbanding the national resources and encouraging strict economy.
 Any excess of either profits or wages which does not find it's way back to the state in loans or taxes or is not employed in necessary indus tries or public service" said the pre- mier, 'is so much loss to the national revenue and the national resources and, therefore so much injury to the national cause. Therefore, he said, the government asked thetrade union leaders to use their influence to pre- vent anything in the nature of a general demand for an advance in wages.
 Wages Increased.
 The premier explained that. al- though some few industries were 1n- jured by the war, according to the best estimate available 4,50O good working people had enjoyed a SUD- stantial increase in wages since the wars beginning
 "On the other hand" continued Premier Asquith, i've have witnessed a substantial increase in the cost or living. Food has risen 40 per cent, rent per cent, fuel and light 25 per cent and clothing 30 per cent; but when allowance is made for the ln- creased cost of living, I venture to say that the wage earners are better off now than when the war began.
 Appeal for Share.
 What we have come here to ask you, who represent the wage earning classes of your country, is to help us in securing that all classes, and not the least the working classes. which have contributed so nobly with the flesh and blood toward the conduct of the war, will in the same spirit of pa triotism and self-sacrifice be prepared to deal with the question of wages and their share"
 The premier reiterated the impor- tance of impressing the workers with the necessity of abstaining from pressing demands which under condi- lions might not be regarded as un- reasonable, and in this way contribu- ting their share toward the task ''in which hae common interest and ;ron the successful prosecution of which the economic fortunes and the honor and the national life of this country depend.'

 ALUMNI ATHLETES
High School Graduates Taking ~* Active Interest in Project

At meeting of those interested in tue playing and management of the Hlgh school alumni football game on thanksgiving morning held at the Y. M. C. A. last night, it was decided to organize an athletic association among the members. Such an organizati ion would be to these ends, first, that alumni athletic contests may become permanent annual events, and sec- ond that the project of securing an atplet1c field for the use of the school and the alumni may be carried out
 Bazaar Is Suggested.
 number of the alumni in speak ing of this project today suggested that the new association might make an attempt to hold a two nights ba- zaar ill tile High school gym sorne- time during the winter for the pur- pose of raising sufficient funds to at leeSt secure an option on a desirable piece of property for an athletic field. In the opinion of many Of the graduates track athletics should be encouraged at the school and to this end proper place and equip- ment should be provided.
 Plan Is Suggested.
 One plan of organization which will bs proposed by the committee for con- sideration is similar plan to the one used by the Y. M. c. A. in the con- duct of their athletics.
 A general board will be suggested which may be composed of directors Tn the several departments of sport, as football, basketball etc. These di- rectors may choose their own com mlttees and be responsible for thu m@sagement of the alumni team rep- resenting their departme,,t and for tho encouragement and assistance CT the undergraduates team in tine same department.
 Klett's Name Proposed.
 Graduates in the legal profession have offered their services to assist Ill the drawing up of a suitable con- sritution and bylaws. Suggestions fryn any graduate or former student as to good plan of procedure in this endeavor will be gratefully received by the committee. The name of Senator George w. l Klett, one of the most enthusiastic l members of the local alumni, is be- l ing prominently mentioned as an ideal l choice for president of the proposed |

GAIN IN POSTAL SAVINGS.
Era of Prosperity Has Good Effect on Business in Postal Savings Bank.

Secretary Caldwell of the postal sav- ings station at the local post office re- ported today that during the month of November there had been a gain of $1.7S0 in deposits also gain of twen- ty-one new depositorS.
 The total amount on hand at pres ent is $72,579. The war in Europe had slightly effected the business, a short time ago, on account of the re- turning to Italy of number of re- servists from that country, a number of which were depositors in the postal bank.
