Gave Splendid Lecture at Presbyterian
Church Last Evening.
In the auditorium Of the Presbyterian
church last evening, Rev. Frederic Ken
yon Brown, better known to the world
as, Gal Priddy," through his writings in
magazines and his books, lectured on,
Through the MIL, Although greeted
by disappointing audience, disappoint-
ing in numbers only, he gave one of the
best and most interesting talks ever Civ
on TO a local audience. II was something
more than the ordinary lecture, in that
the speaker told his life history from the
time he was a boy in quaint town IN
England till he sat across the table
from Theodore Roosevelt. At the out
set he informed his hearers that be was
going TO make his talk so personal that
"they would be able TO wiring his per-
sonality out of their clothes when he
got through"
He gave a most wonderful and pic
turesque scene Of the mill-laborer, the
terrible unsanitary and unhealthful en-
yironment and the effect on the young
boy or girls life, physically, mentally
end spiritually. Beginning with his
DAYS Of his poverty in England. his voy-
ace 10 this country on cattle boat, hls
employment in the mills and later bis
graduation from the great colleges OF
this country. the speaker told his story
in a touching way. But he was equally
effective with the quiet vein Of humor
which finds its way into his talks and
makes them all the more interesting TO
listen 10. In talking Of the conditions
in mills the speaker deplored the idea
which is held by most people not ac-
auaintea with the same. Most people
be said. thought that Young people lives
were crushed ont. so hard was the work
assigned TO them Where the running
conditions begin. he tells. j. when the
bows have a few idle moments, and Of
these be bad many while in the textile

for which they had come. Those who
knew him saw in DR.. Sheldon the same
kindness and earnestness OF purpose
which marked his Waterbury work, to-
gether with an energy which reaches out
and takes the work of the broader field
OF the community and, in later years,
the world His impromptu talk TO the
Waterbury friends in reminiscent line
was pleasant, and his cordial greeting At
the close of the service made all feel
that this man, known all over the world,
remembered very kindly his work in our
midst and would sometime bring to us
again for brief time at least, the in
spiration OF his presence and give TO
many more, who felt his helpful work
here. the chance to hear and greet him.
As the barge returned, leaving Mont
pelier, as they entered, with the call,
"Waterbury, Waterbury, q Years Ago,
sheldon" all felt that to them had come
again touch of helpfulness from one

Don't Do 1t Again.

1t is true, as the British admiralty
urges. that international law does not
forbid the flying Of neutral flag by a
belligerent il the purpose is to avoid cap
ture or destruction. An enemy's ship has
a right TO force the Incorporating vessel
to hcave to, and the right to search and
discover her nationally. But these prin-
ciples were established before the days
of the submarine, whose tactics are sur
prise. whose method may be to fire first
and inquire afterward. For complete
success in submarine warfare, which Is
of the sudden, anbuscade sort, it is es-
sential that the ship should be OF the
nationality disclosed by the colors float
ing astern, ascertainable at glance
through the periscope.
As a single isolated instance, the dis
play Of the American flag by the Cunard-
er Iusitania in her dash for home is not
a very serious matter. Considerations
OF humanity and prudence prompted It,
and if it was done by command of the
British government, Captain Dow him
self cannot be blamed for following or
ders and thinking first of the safety OF
his passengers. There need be no rutliing
Of national sensibilities over this one act
1t is as a precedent only that it Is sig.
nifcant. II the British authorities have
secretly directed British merchant cap
tains to strike their own ensign and
hoist neutral, preferably American, col,
ors on nearing British ports. the United
States is seriously affrOnted and
wronged. and emphatic remonstrance
must be made by Washington to Lon
don.
Let us remember that at present the
American flag, borne by ships that have
right to bear it, is not a stranger in
the North sea and on the coasts Of the
United Kingdom. Scores of our large
coastwise ships have gone abroad, carry
ing grain, provisions and cotton to neu.
trail ports of north Europe and to the
allies as well as their antagonists. All
these American ships are grayely endan
gered if the act of the captain OF the
I.usitania. sets precedent. Nothing i
more natural and inevitable than that i
