Local Moose to Hold Celebration
Week June 14th

That the local Order of Moorse are
determined to make a huge success Of
their carnival is evident from the
amount of preparations that are being
made for the coming event, the week
of Pune 14th.
The Moose have been working inces-
sanity on the advance detail of they
carnival ever since they entered into
contracts with the Krause Greater
Shows. The location secured on the
Battle Groungs for this celebration is
ideal. The arrangements made pre-
paratory to the opening of this mon
ster musenent enterprise isn't all that
the Moose will have to attend to. Each
evening will find scores of their mem
bers specially detailed on the show
grounds looking after the comfort and
welfare of their thousands Of guests.
Like "Old Venice Norwich will
have its carnival period. Youthful
lovers with their Lady Fair" will
take advantage of the week Of fun
and frivolity. The old as well as the
young will be enjoying themselves
in fact, everyone is due for a week
of fun and celebration
There will be many shows to at
tract ones attention: the great variety
Of attractions carried by the Krause
Greater Shows make it possible to
suit the tastes Of all.
Everything is promised to be new
and novel; such things as old worn
out attractions have been discarded
and in their places will be found new,
modern and up-to- the-minute shows.
Few realize the expense naturally
attached to the holding of a celebra-
ton of this kind. There are thousands
of minor details; seemingly trifes
that are SO Important in the promo
ton of events of this kind.
The local lodge of MooseNis to be
commended upon the courage they
~ l..
an affair of this magnitude
The Moose voting contests are
gaining popularity daily. Those en-
tered in the contest are working hard
and each one seems determined to win
out. Voting boxes will be opened at
Plautt-Cadden's Jewelry store, Mon
day morning at a. M, and a daily

DAVIS THEATRE.
Three Shows Today at 2.3o GAS
and s45. Big Show For Next
Week,

Tody will be the last opportunity to
see The Winter Garden Revue, tEAa
big musical comedy show that is ap-
pearing at the Davis, and the bill for
today is one that will appeal to every
one There is plenty of good sing
ing and dancing with a lot of comedy
that is different from anything ever
seen here. The photo plays are also
of the best and include a two reel
Thanhouser dram, called Monsieur
Nickola Dupree, with Florence La
Babe the heroine of the Million Dol
Window is a comedy drama by the
American company, and there are two
funny Keystone comedies, in which
both the Chaplin brothers appear,
Sgd in the other. If you want a
good laugh don't miss seeing these
two comedy pictures.
Next week the management an
nounce for the attraction the Ben
Loring big Musical Cabaret, a d&s-
sy singing show of II people, most of
whom are old favorites in Norwich,
having been seen here with the Ho-
man show when it played here with
Martin Toohey. They are Miss Moran,
the beautiful soprano singer, whom
everyone remembers for her excellent
work. and Miss Bagley, the dainty lit
tie soubrette who also has an excep-
tional fine voice and knows how to
put ragtime song over to please the
crowd. Eddie Healy is also with this
show and many others that will be
remembered for the pleasing impress
sion they left in this city a little over
a year ago. Ben Loring himself at
tends to the comedy and he has all the
support needed to furnish a show that
is away ahead of the usual run of
tabloids. There is also a big beauty
chorus and their costumes are a mar
vel in designing many new electrical
effects and special settings are used
in this show that is different from
anything even seen here. There will
be an unusually strong bi1f of photo
plays with the Cabaret, including a

IN TURKEY
BEG HELP
Cables Through State Department and
American Board Describe Needs,

A news despatch coming by way of
Petrograd announces the occupation of
the city of Van, near Lake Van in
Eastern Turkey, by the Russians If
this report is true, as it quite probably
is, it will bring relief tor many friends
Of the Americans in Van and to the
great number of Armenians in this
country, whose friends or relatives
have been besieged by the Turks in
portion of the city, have sought the
protection of the American mission, or
have been hunted from their homes
and perhaps killed by their ancient en-
emies, the Kurdish troops in Turkeys
army.
The Americans in Van are principal
ly those On the staff of the American
Boards mission there. They include
Miss Grisell NJ. McLaren and Miss
Gertrude Rogers, two Mt. HoIyoke
graduates; Miss Caroline SiIliman, of
Connecticut, DR.. and Mrs. Clarence D
USHER, in charge of the Van hospital
and Miss Elizabeth H. USHER, Rev
Grace H. Knapp and Miss S. L. NJ
Bond, the latter a nurse and super
intendent of the hospital; and Mrs
Reynolds, the wife of DR.. George c.
Reynolds, president of Van college,
and for forty-five years a missionary
physician for both bodies and souls
at Van.
DR. Reynolds. to his great grief, is
held in America where he was travel
ing in the interests of the college
when the war broke out. DR.. Ray
nolds only recentlv recovered from
sudden illness in this city.
Our state department reported to
the American board, a few days agt, a
cable from Ambassador Morgenthau to
the effect that the Turkish minister Of
the interior had just sent. in the am
hassadoTs presence a wire to the
Turkish governor in Van ordering him
to protect all Americans and American
interests so that the anxiety felt for
these missionaries is not because of
persipal danger. They are, howevGS,
probably, in great need of money and
supplies wherewith to relieve the suf-
fering around them.
A good deal more than $780, 600
mostly in small sums, has been for
warded through the American boards
treasury by Armenians and members
of other Turkish races in this county
to their families in Turkey. A few
days ago Secretary Barton received
through the state department at
Washington, a cable from Ambassa-
dor Morganthau reading, Cali stations
begging relief funds. Some say star
walton threatens. Please help quickly"
In view of the urgency of this ap-
peal and influenced also by the ap-
palling suffering ad restitution re-
vealed by statements in letters just
received in which got by the censors,
the American board has decided to
open a public relief fund. Subscrip-
tons may be sent, marked For Relief
in Turkey, either to Frank H. Wig
gin, IA Beacon street, Boston, or to
Brown Brothers, SO Wall street, New
York, N. Y. Gifts will be promptly
cabled to Turkey and relief will begin
at once.

POETRY
THE PROMISED PEACE.

Each rain drenched sodden trench IS
deep in mud and slush and mire,
The sunkissed hills and France are
scared by screaming shrapDel
Untouched the dead and dying lie, the
soil reeks foul with blood
May God forgive this monstTouS crime
against our brotherhood!
Our daughters wronged and thrown
aside, our children God knows
where;
Our mothers StaTve in ruined homes in
hopeless, blank despair.
A million men are manned for life, a
million dead and cold
The god of war exacts full toll in
tears, in lives, in gold.
The god Of peace still reigns ON highs
sometime the war will cease,
Sometime the earth again be blessed
with happy homes and peace.
The pride and greed of pompous power
forget. Thus saith the Lord:
All those that draw the sword in hate
shall perish with the sword.
The pride and pomp of nations great
the power OF greed and lust
Shall sink beneath His righteous wrath
in ashes and in dust,
And pride and greed and strife shall
fall. the meek the earth secure,
For God keeps faith forever more, His
promises endure.

THE POSTMAN,

The rain against the window dashes,
Out in the street the thin mud sp1ashes,
In proud contempt the thunder
craches-
A nasty day.
The passers-by have ceased their rush
ing,
Snug at home, their brows are brush
ing,
Yet there is one that still is s1ushing
On his wet way.
He cannot stop for drench or drizz1e,
He hurries on and blows his whistle,
He knows the place for each epistle,
The postman gay.
On and on. his whistles DINNER;
May every note bring joy to simmer;
Soon the street lamps all will g1immer
In dying day.
