clerks, I want at this time to pay a 1 tribute to the carriers for faithful l ness to their duties and also to me as their postmaster. During the heavy influx of mail and parcel post last 1 Christmas, these faithful servants on l many occasions rendered their ser vices to aid in lessening the burdens of the clerks, by carrying out addi- ] tiOnal parcels and bundles.
 l 'The duties of the clerk are often made more ardous by the apparent ] thoughtlessness of the public, who, in sending mail, particularly in this city will mark it John Johnson, City, not Withstanding there are thirty-seven similar names on the city directory In many cases this name is easy to i be compared with some that are re- ceived. The pitfalls which the clerk encounters are many and if the people on the outside would only stop and consider for moment. there would De less criticism. The mailing of matter early would be of much ben eft in tightening the work of the clerk, instead of waiting until the last moment and dumping it all in at once. One of the matters which l have considered very much since my inauguration in office is working on Christmas. I do not believe that is fair that the employees of the postal service should be asked to work from carly morn until it is too late to dis tribute mail while other men are able to be in the bosoms of their families on this day"
 At this juncture Postmaster De- 1aney rfectcd on the day that was being celebrated throughout the
  1ack to the days of '65. with the proud young man marching off to the scene of battle, while the gray haired mother stood with tear-stained eyes, to watch her son and he touch cd on the terrible conflict that is being waged on European soil. He asked that a toast be drunk to that apostle of peace who has guided the Unite States so successfully through the many perils that have confronted it, Woodrow Wilson, "the greatest president that ever lived''
 Let us be glad that we are en- toying peace, but if the occasion ever arises where men are wanted for their country's cause, the postal en- ployes will be found doing their share,'' h eSaid.
 A Democratic Republican.
 Postmaster Delaney in well chosen words presented Mayor G. A. Quigley as the republican mayor of New Brit aine elected by the democrats.
 His honor said it was a pleasure to 1 greet the assemblage present He was | pleased that this city had been made l the choice for holding the convention.
 New Britain is noted for three | things, the metropolis of Connecticut 1 on account of it's manufacturing in 1 duStries the birth place of Tom i Reilly and mixed politics. he added ! among laughter.
 Continuing, Mayor Quigley said that 1 he had always believed that politics l should be kept out of postal affairs, i and despite this the toastmaster had l

to secure more of the beneflclal re- suits that they now aspire for.
 Postmaster Delaney read telegram from Congressman F. Davis Oakley, wishing the clerks pleasant time and best wishes.
 EX-PrcSident HOran Retirino President HOran of Hartford in a lengthy talk discussed the various amendments to the constitution that have been put in force in the past tlf- teen years. He spoke of the long hours clerks were forced to work at one time Certain rights invested in postmasters in other days made the opportunities great for discrimination, both personal and religious.
 "But the right man is always forth coming when this country faces a crisis" he said During the revolu- ton it was Washington, the Civil War produced Lincoln and it remained for Divining Providence to give to the postal clerks Thomas Lawrence Re1l- ly" Mir. Horan also spoke of what benefit organizations has been in aid ing the cause for the clerks. He urged the members of the association to work with the postmaster and give him the best they had in them.
 George NJ. Landers.
 One Of the most interesting and pleasing talks of the evening was that of ex-Mayor George M. Landers re- ferred to by the toastmaster as occu- pying the same position with the local clerks that From" Reilly does With the state organization.
 MT. Landers said it was indeed kind of r, too ctr Cto n r,1a r. Reiliy's class. The speaker said the work Mr. Reilly has accomplished for the clerks is not all that he has done that is good He is working every day to make this community better Tor everyone of us to live,'' he said.

When the closing chords of ''Auld Lang Syne" had died out in the ban quet hall of New Britain lodge of Elks last evening, the eighteenth an- nual convention of the Connecticut Nbranch, United National Association 3ostal Clerks came to a close and the enthusiasm displayed by the delegates and guests, evinced the fact that the yefforts of the various committees of the local branch of the organization were crowned with glory.
 The interior of the building never presented a more beautiful appear Rnce, with handsome decorations of Old Glory arranged in a manner that appealed to the eye of the assem- blaze. The ingenuity of the committee in arranging the seating of the diners made it possible for ease and comfort. Prior to the opening of the ceremonies Lynch's orchestra gave one of it's con- certs, which met with generous ap~ plause from the gathering.
 It was shortly after o'clock when the orchestra struck up "America'' and the refrain was joined in by the diners.

 Praise for President Wilson.
 The question on all lips since that momentous day has been: twill the United States become involved in this terrible world-war?" It has taken cool head, an iron will. and cour- ageous man to keep this notion out or the dreadful conflict and the vast ma jority of the American people are en- Enthusiastically placing patriotism above partisanship and are according fullest praise to President Woodrow Wilson.
 You are well aware that in addition to being the date of your eighteenth annual convention, this date, the 30th of May, has another significance in civil life for all of us. Tn every city, town and village in the United States today, assembled together in gather ings great and small, in halls whose walls echo the earnest and eloquent orations, in countless cemeteries near NAA peace, embosomed in fragrant flowers, there meet today thousands and thou sands to cherish the memories and pay deserving tribute to the nations heroes who fell in our Civil War. Many heart Is sorrowing because the life of a father brother or friend, so dear, so brave, and loyal, Is extin- guished forever. The men who march I 1,,,. hn rly yncf days of our nations history evinced their own patriotism and commun1- cated an ardor that spread through out the country kindling spark of loyalty They were all there-the worker in the factory, the farmer, the railroad man, the chemist from the laboratory, the professional man rom his off1ce-all came at the call, some from remote, shabby streets, from the tenements of poor men, and others from the peace and plenty of palatlal dwellings. The banker, the truck driver, the physician, the coal-passer gave their strength, their talents, thelr hopes and in countless instances, their lives, in constituting the irresistible army whose success settled for all time the fact that there shall be one Union and one flag.
 Although our great conflict settleo forever certain momentous national problems, we paid a terrible price Tn death toll for the settlement oy force of arms The most costly Of all meth ods of settlement, from human1tar- ian viewpoint, is by sword and gun Who of this generation will ever De able to forget the ghastly tragedy which is being enacted at the present time by the nations engaged in the war abroad? Unforgettab indeed 1s the spectacle of gh osts of ruined peo' pie, invaded nations, threatened an initiation, and the prospects of grea' empires being brought to dust. More than ever do we realize our gooe fortune because this nation has thu far kept free of the great struggle We know the staggering price Whlcl

insisted on bringing it in. He shouldn't do this, 1t might give away some of the secrets. Continuing, he said: q have always felt that the mayor of a city was the most abused man, but after listening to what the clerks have to endure, I have changed my opinion some. I am glad to hear that the car riers have selected New Britain for their next convention. Although Post master Delaney is a democrat, he is a mighty good official and there are many republicans who will vouch for this"
 President Wade
 President Wade thanked the mem bers of the local branch for their ex- cellent treatment accorded the dele gates. He outlined some of his plans for the coming administration and ex- plained in detail the beneficial results that organization has secured for the clerks. He assured the local clerks that their reputation for entertaining in royal fashion was lived up to in ev- cry detail. Thanks were extended to the Elks and to MT. Caldwell for their efforts.
 To Harry c. Brown, a former mem Der of the association and at one time it's president, President Wade paid a glowing tribute. "Mr. Brown has since left the employ of the service, but this proves that even a postal servant is able to go forth into the world and accept and fill more lucrative posi- tion," he said. He also sought the CO., operation of the state branches in aid ing him during the coming year. He urged the clerks to work hard to at tain a higher degree of efficiency, say ing that in this way they will be able

SAD, IMPRESSIVE
 EXERCISES FOR DEAD
Thirty-one Veterans Turned Out on Memorial Day-DreSS Parade

Thirty-one old men, blear eyed and crippled in many instances, worn and frazzled by the ravages of time, bear ing upon their bodies the scars ot '61 and '65, adorned and sanctif1ed by faded uniforms of blue with touch of evergreen held on their lapels by the red, white and blue, answered dress parade yesterday, Memorial Day. For many of them 1t was probably the last answer to the call of the officers they served so many years ago. Some will answer May 30, 1917, possibly, possibly the touch of time will ob- literate their faces from the human Kaleidoscope ever passing in review be- fore the Most High. Yesterday th1r- tv-one old men held the center Of the stage and received the homage due them and their dead comrades with the grace of veterans.
 What did the parade, when the vet erans were escorted to Walnut Hill park amount to? Nothing. Auto mobiles formed the escorts. One old man. scarcely able to lift his feet from the ground was almost forgotten by the marchers. When he was found missing from the roster an automobile was dispatched to his home. Stand ing proudly at the front gate, under a miniature flag, on shaking limbs was the veteran, confident that his comrades of the battle field would not forsake him in this, his hour. Had he been forgotten he would have stood there through the shower which fol- lowed until darkness brought realiza- tion that he was not to partake. But he did partake. Thank Providence for that.
 At Walnut Hill Park.
 At Walnut Hill park the heroes of the Civil War were lifted, in some cases, from the machines to form in dress parade. And such a pathetic dress parade it was. Mixed with the pathos was a touch, no, an over whelming grip of patriotism. Tears were not far from the eyes of the on- lockers and cheers were upon their lips The ragged blue line that sym bolized the bloodshed and terror of battle was wonderful in the memories that 1t conjured up.
 The cripple was picked up from the machine which carried him to the park. Disdaining assistant he look his place. How near were his shoulders to those of the next in line and how many gaps did the scant three inches represent. How many human souls had been called to their maker to bring the comrades whose shoulders touched yesterday into such close proximity
 Linco1n's address was read to the veterans as it was so many years ago; following the call Officers forward and to the center!" Words were unable to give voice to their true feelings.
