FREE PICTURES AND
 GAMES PLEASE BOYS
Friday Club at Center Church Sue.
 cessfuy~0rganized Yesterday.

A succession of interesting stories illustrated with stereoptican pictures, big room filled with tables covered with games, and a bank where the boys deposited their pennies and were encouraged to become thrifty made about sixty boys happy yesterday af- ternoon at the first session of the Boys Friday club at the Center Con- gregational church.
 At 4 o'clock the stairs of the chapel were crowded with boys ranging from eight to fourteen years of age "Is it all free, Mister?," was the first ques- ton of most of the boys. Assured that such was the case, they were greatly relieved.
 Rev. E. T. Thienes explained the pictures to the boys. The picture Of Upper Egypt interested them. It was just like moving pictures they all agreed.
 When the announcement was made that games were in order in the base ment of the church, the boys clattered down the stairs as if running to a fire. MT. Thienes's assistants were there to take care of them. keep them in order and teach them the games. Checkers was the most popular and a checker tournament will be started next Fri day afternoon. Twenty boys regis tered in the contest. 5'@-st The Misses Eda Beale and Pauline Curtis were in charge of the penny savings bank and opened sixteen ac- counts. Mrs. Laura T. Seelye assisted the boys in their games and the boy leaders yesterday were Robert Buell., Andrew Robb, Clyde Paro, Emory Corbin, and Harvey Doolittle. It Is expected that an appropriation for more games will be passed at the meeting of the Young Peoples socie. ty tomorrow evening.
 The indications are that the club will be successful and it is expected that the attendance next time will be greatly increased.

Boston, Feb. 27.-"The chance or successful invasion of England cannot be lightly dismissed" said Rear Ad- miral Francis T. Bowles, retired. for merly of the Unitci States navy, Tn an interview upon his return from Europe. 1T am convinced that Ger many ultimately will be successful. The probable situation is that all the allies are now ready to quit and that means not only France and Russia, but England; that Germany Is ready to make peace with Russia and France. but never with England. The possible consequences of such situation are easily discernible and merit the most serious consideration by the people or the United States"

 IS VICTORIOUS New Britain Receives Setback in Championship Hopes.

The New Britain High basketball five received a serious setback in their march towards the championship when they lost to Naugatuck last evening in Naugatuck, 3S-20. The game was fast, rough and exciting, but nevertheless was somewhat onc- sided. Naugatuck took the lead in the first minute of play and held it safely throughout the game. which was played amid the hoots and jeers of an unsportsmanlike Naugatuck crowd. Kenny, the captain and star of the Rubbertown team. scored the first basket and followed this up shortly by a foul basket. Schade made a basket next and this was the only field goal New Britain scored this half. As the period progressed Naugatuck put distance between their score and New Britain's and the half ended with the score 15-13 in Naugy's favor.
 New Britain's form improved some what in the second half and for brief period the locals looked dan gerous. However. Kenny, Zwick and Hubbell by spectacular shooting. again placed Naugy's score far to the fore.
 In this half Martin took Schmidt's place and Root replaced Dudack. The SuUSllIuJIOIS we're uIldN dlHJl8, IT IHc lO- calls hoped to win by them. for Nau- gatuck could not be headed.

Juliet L. Powers, its president,
resolutions were adopted denounc-
ing the advertisements appearing in
a campaign sheet known as the
Frankfort Courier, wherein it is
sought to convey the idea that the
W. c. T. U. is for Stanley. The
resolutions then provide as follows :
''Resolved, That this body does
most seriously protest against the
publication Of said statement as the
sentiment of the w. G. T. U. as it
does not by any means express such
sentiment upon the prohibition
question, or any other question and
we hereby disavow and repudiate
all such sentiments.

feat of any candidate who avowedly
and openly stands for what the So
ciety is urging most seriously upon

ing aid to the enemy in time of war
is called treason; and we do not
believe that our society is ready to

behalf Of Mr.. McChesney were
made by delegates in attendance.
