"PUTS" READY TO HELP
 NATL. DEFENSE LEAGUE
Phalanx Discusses Plan at Annual Shoot in This
 City Today.

If the National Defense League wishes cooperation it should apply to the Putnam Phalanx. This state ment is made in all seriousness. Many people who have heard of the Putnam Phalanx in a casual way have con- sidered it a social organization. In this they were right, but they didn't go far enough. The Phalanx is a social organization and is composed of the jolliest fellows in the state. But there is a serious side to the or sanization that should not be over looked. It is an organization of sharpshooters and if called upon to rush to the defense of the U. s. A. there is hardly a man among them who could not be counted on to do more than the average with his rifle.
 The Phalanx is holding it's annual shot this afternoon at Scheutzen park in the western part of the city. There is no little talk about cooperation win the National Defense League and The officers of the Phalanx, including Mai. Frank H. Johnson of this city are ready to cooperate with the League
 
 possible that some action will be taken along this line in the near fu- ture.
 The Phalanx arrived at the park about eighty strong this morni.e Guns were unslung and imme ediateiy there began such fussillade as has never before been heard in tha : peaceful neighborhood. \ corn chow der luncheon was servel by Fritz En-. pier at noon and a big dinner will be served by him at 5:30 o'clock. Aft CT that the Phalanx will return to headquarters in Hartford where prizes will be distributed.

ND RECONSTRUCTION
 OF BRITISH CABINET
Government to Establish ''In- ner War Council or
 Committee.

London, Oct. 2S, 4:35 a. m.-No re- construction of the cabinet nor con- l Stltution of a smaller cabinet is be- ing considered by the government at the present time, says the parlia- , mentary correspondent of the Daily ! News. But it has been decided, he says, to give official recognition to a hitherto unofficial inner war council or committee
 Seven to ten ministers have hereto fore taken part at various times in the deliberations of the body, which l is now to be officially approved with
 an exact definition of powers and prin- ! ciples. The committee, the news paper says, will sit daily and will de- eide on executive acts of war. Such decisions moreover, need not in fu- ture be referred for approval to the full cabinet.
 It is not yet decided whether mem bership in the new council shall num- Der three, five or seven. Two pro-
 posals as to it's formation are being
 considered. The first is that the bal
 ance of political opinion represented
 in the full abinet should be preserved in the council-in other words, that the council should be a miniature of the cabinet. The other proposal is that the council should contain only ministers directly concerned with the conduct of the war.
 In the former case the number of members would be seven; in the lat ter case either three or five. Tn either case it is understood that Winston Spencer Churchill will no longer serve
 on the inner body.

BAPTISTS ASKS FOR
 WALKERS RELEASE
New London Minister Says Church in This State Has Been Strengthened
 By His Acts.
Especial to the Herald. )

New London, Oct. 2S.-Rev. Joseph A. Elder, pastor of the Huntington street Baptist church, has come for ward and in a public statement has asked for the release of William F. Walker, former treasurer of the New Britain Savings bank, who absconded with funds of that institution as we'll as a large amount of money from the Baptist organization. Rev. M. Elder made his plea at a meeting of the State Baptist convention at Middle town at which the question of applying for MT. Walkers release was dis cussed.
 In arguing for the release of MT. Walker, Mr. Elder says that as a re- suit of his stealings the Baptists have been strengthened. In 1906 the Bap lists had $5O,OOO he says and con- tinued by showing that by losing this amount through the New Britain man they have restored it by campaign and have kept on until today the Baptists have s235,0O0 invested funds of the state convention.
 Concluding his plea, Rev. MT. El- der calls attention to the fact that Walker is an old and broken man and says:
 T trust the above facts may help some to see the matter of MT Wal ker's release as an act of mercy to an old, broken down, repentant man, who fell into the hands of stronger men than himself. and was led into a crime for which nearly ten years of Imprisonment would seem enough"

WILMINGTON POLICE
 ARE NOT SATISFIED
Claim They Are Entitled to Greater Reward-Criti-
 cize MalinOwski.
(sneoial to the ReraId.l

Wilmington, Del, Oct. 2S.-Wil- mington's police department is seeth- ing with surprise and dissatisfaction mingled with indignaton, because Judge Joseph P. Futile in Connecticut superior court awarded them but $1,40O as a share of the Zebris- Gilma- naitis murder reward of s2,300 and then stipulated that this amount must be divided with Adolph Markle and Joseph PieLuzki. The authorities here are also incensed to learn that M. R. Malinowski, a New Britain interpre- ter, is individually given the major portion of the rewaI d as they declare that rather than aiding in solving the mystery at Wilmington, Malinowski hindered them.
 According to the statement made in this city the Wilmington police de- partment after losing one officer by death during the capture of the two murderers, had to expend over $500 in death, sick and pension fund bene- fits to members of the department who were injured in the encounter with Krakas and Montvid last March and at the present time two of the officers are incapable of performing active duty.
 The police department is outspoken in it's unwillingness to accept $500 as it's share and will not agree to the settlement proposed by Attorney General Wolcott, who desires to get $500 for his client, Adolph Markle. Police officials claim that if the entire amount given local parties, s1,400 was awarded to them they would still be in financial muddle.
 The local authorities are surprised that Joseph Pietuzki, the polish in- terpreter, has received $200 of the reward, as his part in the case was only the same as scores of other cit izens, all of whom had suggestions to make following the arrest of the men here, they say.
 Another fact that causes indignation here is that Matthew Malinowski, the New Britain interpreter, who was hired by states attorney Hugh M. AL corn to solve the mystery, had re- ceived the greater individual portion of the reward, $500. The Wilmington police claim that Malinowski, while here, hindered them in their investi- gation of Krakas, who was on the point of talking while awaiting trial several times but stopped when the New Britainite appeared.

as she talks she carries her audience
from one scene to another in the

of all, these stories often carry with

Now, we haven't intended this for an editorial,
but to impress upon you position.
We are trying to merchandise and make liv-
ing. We cannot hope to outdo our competitor in
everything all the time, but we believe we can in
some things part of the time. Come and see.
We believe that the success of our business so
far is that courteous treatment, prompt service,
price to all and square deal have been our
aim. We never did believe in premiums, dis
counts, scrip or stamps or anything of the kind.
Merchandise with merits and price should be con-
sidered alone. From shall trim off all
the superfluous profits which have had to
maintain to cover discounts, scrip, bad accounts.
The store that does business for cash is the one
that can sell cheapest. We consider good thir-
ty-day customer a cash customer, provided he
pays promptly in thirty days. That doesn't mean
fifty or sixty days. That doesn't mean fifty or
sixty days or more, for such customer is cousid
cred slow pay, and it works hardship on the
store that has accommodated him.
One of the objects of the Business Mems Asso-
citation is to weed out the deadbeats who live off
the community---for when they beat their grocer
or butcher they have levied tribute on every one
in that community, for the dealer who has lost
has less money to spend with his neighbor or else
it is added to the cost of doing business and ev-
erybody shares in the upkeep of unscrupulous

tunate when honest could not obtain credit, for
there is no one more willing to assist through the
proper channel than the business man.
