as they rose and cheered him before they allowed him to begin his eloquent and stirring address of nearly an hour in length, which held the undivided at tentior Of his hearers.
 Governor Walsh began in a pleas ant informal way in which he spoke of his pleasure in coming to Norwich, for he thought it was time for some chief executive of Massachusetts 70 come here to acknowledge the great contribution that Norwich had made to the citizenship of Massachusetts in the persons of Air Aiken and MT. F'alvey.
 The Business of Government.
 He had come to talk he said about the most important business of all the business Of government, in which he said that each man was a stocrholder, each with the same rights and priVi- leges which they arc asked to exer- else on but one day in the year, and that is election day.
 On that day the stockholders elect their directors in this big business of government. For what purpose does this business exist and what are your responsibilities and mine as a director?
 The answer is in the purpose and in spiration which animated the men of Lexington and Concord and for which stockholders and directors must work for the advancement of the welfare and wellbeing and prosperity of every person who lives within the confines of this government.
 Dividends in Happiness and ProsPerr-
 ty.
 Its dividends are developed in the amount of happiness and prosperity greater business? We love our flag because it represents a government that gives more happiness and pros perity than the flag of any other gov ernmenr of the world. (Applause.)
 The proof is in the procession of men, women and children from Eng land, Ireland. Scotland and Germany and every other country who have turned from their own lands in the Years that have passed because our flag promises more prosperity and happiness than the flag e& any other country.
 Conservation of Life.
 Now we have come to an age when our government has first begun to realize the fundamental things that contribute to the prosperity and happi ness of it's people. In past times the growth or education or some other point, but more important than all these We know now is the preservation and conservation of the one asset NllICIl We all possess ana WQ1Gu comes from the Almighty, and that is life The first business is the preservation of the health and life of the people and the taking away of everything that tends to shorten that
 In the removal of disease and it's causes. in child labor laws and laws for shorter hours of labor, inspection laws to decrease accidents, workmen's s compensation and mother-aid laws, we are writing statute after statute that proves the mother government has q heart as we'll as an intellect.
 Means a Healthy Government.
 And this is all because we realize that a healthy race of men and wom- en means a healthy government. This is the contribution Of our age, the highest and most ennobling of all.
 Across the folds of our flag we arc writing that this government stands not only for a government of indus trial and commercial supremacy but a

Rheumatism Soon
 Becomes Chronic
The Result of Tired Kidneys Failing to Expel Poisonous
 Waste Matter.

Tired, overworked kidneys allow poisonous uric acid to remain in the blood instead of expelling it from the system. That is the cause of chronic rheumatism. The disease gets into some joint or group of muscles and settles there. and only strenuous treatment will dislodge it.
 Rheuma softens the uric acid crys- tals lodged in the joints and muscles, causing the terrible pains, and passes them out of the system through the kidneys and bowels.
 All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes Unless it is pure the orca ; become diseased. Rheuma purifies he blood and the kidneys, then regain their natural activity.
 Lee & Osgood and all druggists sell Rheuma at price so inexpensive that it is folly to be without it.

 A Scientific System.
 To turn te my subject-we are in the fire a,ases uI the development of banking system, new to this country, but in most respects tried and proved abroad; and the first attempts for a really scientific banking system that we have ever known.
 The federal reserve act is no parti- san measure, evolved by one party and placed in the statute books for its own glory, but is the final generalization into law of the result of a generation of study by the best and ablest bank CTS that this country in that time has produced. It embodies the three fun damentals that have appeared in al most every plan for the improvement in our banking system for q genera ton; and the differences in the plan have been largely differences in the matter of application.

Welcome by President King.

by SSlOCHI INiH9s
 At 9.40 o'clock, President King arose @ few welcoming words and was greeted with applause before he was allowed to speak
 Mayor Murphy.
 Mayor Murphy was the first speak CT introduced, and was applauded as he arose and expressed appreciation of the presence of the Massachusetts guests and Congressman elect Free man.
 There are two things to be remen1- bered. said Mayor Murphy. what we owe to the Board of Trade and to similar organizations. As We look back we can see some thing that we could have done but we do not want to be governed by pessimistic utter ances, but throw away selfish feelings and unite on those things that are for the benefit of the majority We know that Norwich needs industries and We know that in times past there has been too much Norwich money in outside industries that could have been jn- vested here.
 His Honor called attention to a sign that he had seen in another place: If you buy out of town and I buy out of town, what is to become of the town.
 He advised that Norwich men put their money into real estate here and said he believed now was a most ia vOrable time for building modern ten enaent property for rentals of S12 to S15 per month.
 The city needs more industries and we should do all we can to bring them here, but the Board of Trade cannot do everything. The mayor said he had observed there was too much of the spirit of loading the burden all on to the shoulders of the officers and then stand back and criticise.
 The prosperity of Norwich depends upon what we make of it was the mayors concluding sentiment which won a salvo of applause as he took his seat.
 Cheers For Governor Walsh. When Governor Walsh was intro- duced the banqueters gave him sev- eral moments of deafening applause

 What for the Merchant and Manu-
 facturer7
 This may be all right for the banks. but what the non- banker wants to know is what all this does for the mer- chant and manufacturer, and how will it help the business community of the country, for it's justification lies in such usefulness and in that alone, Primarily, it should insure stability of credit; every business man who has been through a panic has seen in= tereSt rates go so high as to be pro- hiDitive. has seen credit so cUrtailed that money could not be borrowed at any price and has seen as a result business men either brought to fail- ure by such curtailment, or their oper~ ations greatly restricted. This has re- suited in throwing many out Of en- ploynent and a, sharp slowing down

FULL PREPARATION
 FOR ARABIC'S LOSS
GERMANY'S INTENTION IS COM MuNicATEO FORMALLY TO
 STATE DEPARTMENT.

Washington.-The United States re- ceived further assurances from Ger many of it's determination to yield to the demands of the government re garding the protection O. American lives at sea.
 Count yon Bernstorff, the German ambassador. having received lengthy instructions from Berlin, telephoned the State Department and asked for an appointment with Secretary Lans- ing. Promptly at the hour set he ap, peared at the department
 The ambassador informed the secra- tary of state that Germany would give full satisfaction" to the United States for the loss of American lives on the White Star liner Arabic. The Ger man government. he said, would go further than mere disayowel as soon as it is definitely established that the vessel was sunk without warning. Sec retary Lansing informed the ambassa- dor that the United States considered it had conclusive proof that no warn ms " GO 7ifCI4, eiI4o AilC ellAibcoo6ldOl TIT dicated in return that the German gov ernment desired only to receive a re- port of the incident from it's own sources.
 The question of the disayowal of the sinking of the Lusitania and an offer of reparation for the loss of American lives was not taken up, for the reason that the United States has informed Germany it desires the is sues in the two cases to be consid- cred separately.
 The two governments. therefore. have come to an understanding on that point This government inform ed Germany it would insist on dealing with the Arabic first, Germany, there fore, vii withhold it's final reply on the Lulsitania case, which will close the controversy until after the Arabic case has been settled.
 After the conference the ambassa. dor indicated his belief that the nego. tiations in the Arabic case would be followed by negotiations over the Lu. sitania In support of this statement he cited the recent declaration in Der lin that submarine policy satisfac tory to the United States shortly would be made.

WINTER MAY LIMIT
 TEUTONS' ADVANCE
WITH OPENING OF AUTUMN AT TENTIoN IS DIRECTED TO
 EQUINoxIAL STORMS.
PRESS ON TOWARD GR0DN0
To the East of Prussian Frontier Der lin Reports an Advance of Teutons and the Capture
 of lipsk.

While reports from the Eastern war theater embracing the region from Courland to southeastern Galicia indicate that the Germans and Austrians are still pressing the Rus sians hard or tenaciously following them in retreat, military observers here hope that the approaching fall will limit the Teuton's advance.
 Both Berlin and Vienna emphasize the statement that Field Marshal von Hindenburg's forces along the Dvina river in Courland have renewed their activities which were brought to q sudden halt recently with the success of the Russians in holding Riga as a menace to von Hindenburg's rear In southwestern Russia in the Brest-Lit- ovsk region, the Austrians and Ger mans are chiefly concerned in driving Grand Duke Nicholas armies further into the Pripet marshes. evidently with the purpose of repeating the early success of the Germans in the Mazurian lake region of East Prussia.
 To the northwest in the sector lying only a short distance to the east of the East Prussian frontier. Berlin reports an advance of Teutons and the cap ture of the town of Lipsk, lying just to the west of the fortress of Grodno, upon which the aims of the Germans now are evidently centered.
 With the opening of the autumn months military observers are direcu- ing attention to the fact that the Rus sian equinoxial storms are due to be- gin about September 21. They assert that they are the danger limit to mili- tary operations in the Eastern fields. It is recalled by some of these ob- servers that the autumnal equinox marked the turning point in the Ma poleonie campaign. The first warning was a light snowfall, preceding the equinox. but soon afterward heavy SHOWS fell and with them came dfsas. ter to Napoleon.

SUBMARINE F-4
 FINALLY RAISED
ACTUAL RAISING OPERATION OC- CUPIED TWO HOURS-PLAN
 WORKED WITHOUT HITCH.
INVESTIGATION IS ORDERED
At Time of the Accident 1t Was Re- ported the Vessel Was Not in Good Condition When She
 Went Below the Water.

Honolulu.-The United States sub marine FLA, submerged outside the harbor here since March 25 last, was refloated and lowed to the quarantine station in Honolulu bay.
 Although the F-4 has been brought into the harbor the wreck is still sub- merged to a depth of six feet, and will be drydocked. Nothing has been divulged by the naval officials regard ing conditions.
 The actual raising operations occu- pied two hours, the plans of the e1gi- neers working without hitch. The still submerged vessel was lowed slow ly into the harbor, where all the shipping, including the interned Ger man boat Gera, half-masted their flags
 When the submarine has been dry miral Clifford J. Boush, commandant of the naval station: Lieutenant Kirby B. Crittenden and Naval Constructor Julius A. Furrer will begin a thor ough investigation for the purpose of ascertaining, if possible, the cause of the disaster.
 The submarine F-4, commanded by Lieutenant Alfred l.. Ede and with a crew of 21 men, went to the bottom during maneuvers of the "F'' squad ron. She was located TWO days later and Diver John Agraz of the navy, who descended 215 feet, establishing a new worlds record, in an effort to facilitate the work of bringing her to the surface
 Attempts at rescue failed, and on March 30 it was reported she lay in 270 feet of water and would have to be raised by pontoons.
 Secretary Daniels announced that the boat would be raised at any cost in order to determine the cause of the accident and diving apparatus and divers were sent out.
 Frank Chilly. a diver, went down 22S feet and found one of the com partments of the F-4 filled with water. Another, William Loughman, descend ed 220 feet the next day and was se- riously injured by water pressure. These men put lines on the F-4 by which the boat was dragged slowly up to the shelving bottom, but in the process the stern was wrecked and broken, and work was halted to await the arrival of pontoons. Six of these, capable of lifting 60 tons each, were sent from Mare Island navy yard early in August on the Maryland
 At the time of the accident reports gained circulation that the F-4 was not in good shape when she went be- low water. These were officially de nied.
