ficiency was good naturedly remedied and the parade proceeded.
 The return journey covered 3,000 miles of Canadian territory, through Alberta and Saskatchewan over the Canadian Pacific and gave them a splendid idea of the Canadian north west, but the war atmosphere was never absent. No body is compelled to enlist, but the Cana dians have per suasive ways. In some cases men are turned up at factorYes with curt note to the effect that Great Britain needs them more than their employ CTS. It frequently develops into a case of enlist or starve. Seven cars filled with recruits bound for an interior training camp were attached to the tourist train coming east and in the night near a tank station, MT. Spar mer saw two men rush past the train and disappear in the brush. They were followed by guards but man. aged to elude them. In the morning he learned that two of the recruits had suffered cold feet and took advan- tage of the stop to desert.
 American territory was again reached at Minnesota and from thence they journeyed to Chicago with stops at Minneapolis and St. Paul. The train drew into Jersey City just four weeks from the day of leaving.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

President Davis of the athletic council of the' High school called meeting of the four managers and six assistant managers of the various sports during the sixth period yes- terday. The question of whether tennis should be supported by the council was discussed. Tennis in the past years has been worthy sport Last years team made a very good showing. There Is plenty of good material in the school and much interest is shown. In the school tournament held last spring there were twenty -four entries. Manager Maier estimates that he can run this years team on $40 which is far less than the expense of any one of the other sports. In previous years the tennis expenses have been dependent on individual subscriptions. Presi- dent Davis favors the recognition of tennis by the council and promised to do all that he could to bring it about.
 The other matters which were dis cussed were in regard to the new system of choosing managers. Any manager may call on an assitant manager to help, at any time with the various jobs which have to be done in connection with the managing of the different branches of athletics.

WAR SPIRIT IN OUR
 NORTHERN NEIGHbOR
". J. Sparmer Says Mars Rules
 With Iron Fist in Canada

See America First" the slogan of pleasure trips to Europe, is fully en- dorsed by William J. Sparmer, who has just returned from an 5000 mile trans-continental trip as delegate to the supreme convention of the For esters of America at San Francisco. MT. Sparmer was a member of the Connecticut grand court delegation which united with Massachusetts and Pennsylvania in chartering a special car for the journey.
 From Jersey City, four weeks ago, they set out and throughout the whole journey. except for side trips the car was their home. The route followed going and coming took them through some of the most important cities and towns in the United States and Can ada, and in addition gave them a con- stant panorama of the most wonder full scenery in America, including such natural marvels as the Garden of the Gods, the Royal Gorge, Death Valley and the wonders of the Pa cif1c slope. The westward Journey took them through Pennsylvania, where several hours were spent view ing the sights of the ''Windy City" Thence the route lay through Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Nevada and across the Mojave desert into southern California; Stops were al- lowed at all important cities and scenic points. These included trips to Colorado Springs, Pike's Peak and the
New Britain herald., 1915-09-10

 thusiastic over the marvellous scanery of Colorado Owing to a washout on the railroad through the Royal Gorge, they were taken over the Mid land road, known as the scenic route. but were compelled to return because of a wreck at the summit. The wash out in the gorge was caused by heavy storm in the mountains, and the next day the tourists watched railroad men vainly attempt to fill it with huge boulders. Stones weigh ing 500 pounds were cast aside by the mountain torrent as though they were straw hats. In climbing to the summit of Pike's Peak huge snow- banks were encountered, the train passing through snow cuts twelve feet deep.
 Although he found the Golden West a wonderful country and the climate of California much to brag about, Mir. Sparmer says he saw nothing to make him feel ashamed of old New Eng land. The fruit farms and vineyards of California produce tremendously, but the farmers can find no market for their product and are practically compelled to give it away. He found one farmer who had paid $4,00O for some fruit land five years ago, and was just harvesting his first crop of peaches. The trees were loaded with fruit, but nobody wanted it. A com mission man told him if he would dry the fruit, he would give him T cent and a half pound for it.
 Eigh Halls in Single Building.
 The supreme convention was held in the Auditorium, a building built by the City of San Franciscvo for convention purposes. It's use is free for such purposes. Eight conven- tton halls are contained in the struc- ture, zone of which seats 25,OOO peo- pie. The delegates spent a whole week in San Francisco, enjoying sight seeing, which included the great Panama Pacific exposition While the expositions is wonderful. MT. Sparmer thought it not sufficient in itself to pay for the journey Leaving California, they journeyed northward through Oregon and Washington, visiting Portland and Seattle. Gen. orally speaking the homes in the west do not compare with those of the East The towns are far apart and many are little better than collection of shacks, but owing ito cneap eIectrlclty every place Is bT1ght- ly lighted. From Seattle the party left by boat for Victoria and Van- couver in British Columbia.
 Mars Stalks in Canada
 Canada was a complete transition. Everywhere evidence that the coun- trip is at war was apparent The cities teemed with soldiers and everybody talked war. The Canadians are in- tensely loyal and recruiting goes on unceasingly. The visitors were, how ever, cordially received and every where treated with courtesy.
 Patriotism is strongly manifest and in one instance, the American party found that the Union Jack must be recognized. All the delegates were equipped with American flags and while sightseeing in small town near Vancouver, they started parade, the leader carrying large American flag At once they were stopped by a khaki clad British soldier, who politely told 1 them that on parading with foreign colors could be permitted unless the Union Jack was also carried This de-
