M, which opened at Il o'clock at Masonic temple in this city today, the amerdmen to the con- stitution that all future annual com munications be held in Hartford and the report of the committee on the matter of ritual.

 Refers to World War.
 The grand master in his address made reference to the world war and said that happily this country re- mained undisturbed. He paid a trib- ute to the members of the fraternity who were eXpending efforts in every direction to aid and assist the afflicted. The grand master said the relations of the Masonic jurisdiction of Con- necticut with the fraternity through out the world were most cordial and friendly There had been an increased growth in Connecticut and a great de- yelopment of interest and efficiency in every branch of the Masonic Organiza- tion.
 The harmony in Connecticut Mason rv was commended by the grand mas ter. who said he had not been called on to interfere in the affairs of any lodge to settle disputes or render de- cislons in matters of jurisprudence.
 One Death During Year.
 Only one death occurred in the grand lodge membership during the year, that of Past Deputy Grand Mas ter Augustus Golding of Norwalk. The grand master read a list of distin- guished dead of other grand juris- dictionS.
 He spoke of the many acts of courtesy and consideration he had re- ceived from the subordinate lodges. Eight offiiacl visitatiOns were made by the grand master. Mention was made of the four anniversaries celebrated during the year; the hundredth annl- versary of Hamilton lodge Of Sharon and the one hundred and f1ftieth an niversaries of St. Johns lodge of Nor walk, Union lodge of Thomaston and King Solomon lodge of Woodbury.
 State Lodges Prosperous.
 The grand master gave an account of the dispensations granted and sum- marized the reports of the nine dis trict deputies, in which he found the lodges of the state in prosperous condition.
 An account of the grand masters day celebration at the Masonic Home, September 25, was given and the grand master said ''The Masonic Home was a true expression of Ma sorry in the most concrete form and the real ideal and practical objective of the craft.
 Too Much Publicity
 The grand master made reference to Masonic publicity and said that too much of what was of interest only to the craft appeared in print.
 why advise the public on matters in which it has no concern, no in 1 terest, no part, and no understand 1 ing?" said he. Why, for instance. 1 do a possible injury or inflict a pos- siblc embarrassment on a candidate l

Preparedness Organizations.

Last October a conference by the league was held at Washington, D. C., which was participated in by sen- ators, representatives, business and professional men, veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic, United Spanish War Veterans and patriotic organizations, with great interest. There are other National Defense so- cities that were organized during the past year, all working for national preparedness. Among those organiz- ed, are the Maryland league for na- tional defense, the National Security league, the American Defense society, and the American legion, all having their headquarters in New York city The National Rifle association and the Navy league, are in Washington, U. c., There is also an army league headed by John A. Johnson,-U. s. A. retired. whose work is confined to the regular army. The Aero club of America is an organization with head. quarters in New York, which is striv- Ing also, to encourage military aero nautlcs in the national guard. The Automobile club of America. the United Power Squadron, a nation wide organization of yachtsmen, and Nauonal societies of civil, mining electrical, mechanical and aeronauti- cal engineers, are also working in Varlous> ways, for National Military, and Naval Preparedness Ca condition or being ready for that which may come.)

You, that are teachers in the schools. are teaching the pu- p1ls principles that will prepare them TOT the various occupations, or sta uons in life. To be successful, they must be prepared to do, or act.
 Present War T Warning.
 "The present European war ought to prove a lesson to the people of the United States of America. It is an apt illustration of the suddeness With which war comes. It should teach us that we must be prepared for any and every possible emer- gency. Today, we stand isolated, and alone in world politics. We must be ready to stand by ourselves, in every international emergency. Therefore, 1t is essential, nay more; it is abso- lutely necessary that we maintain our Army and Navy, in such a state of preparedness, that our National honor will be protected and upheld We, the people, are the 'bulwarks of all this defense. and through us must be demonstrated the fullness of our patriotism which means that we should be prepared to defend old Glory while we live. and defend it as we die"
 The address closed with a poem "America."

uents, and that he is not being de-

Associated with him in cultivation

Possessed of the idea that those nu-

turnips instead of early spring rad

where, by the sheer beauty of its
story, it captivated a theatrical
clientele, supposed to be imperv-

sensationalism. Chicago was the

STRONG THREATS
|. w. w. Issues Warning to the
Judge and Jury In Com IS
ing Trials.

Elizabeth Gurley Flynn gave it
out cold at meeting of Sympa-
thizers at Virginia a few evenings
ago that a protest strike would
follow the conviction of the lead
ers now being held and charged
with the murder of James Myron.
The trial date has not yet been de-
fnitely set but the agitatOrs are
busy spreading the strike propo-
ganda about the range towns.
In our opinion this strike talk
is principally hot air being cir
culated with a view to loosening
the purse strings OF the miners
and assist the leaders in keeping
up the high cost Of living at the
best hotels in the country while
they are gathering the shekels for
the defense of the riot leaders held
In the county Jail on the charge Of
murder.
There may be a few who will
lay down their tools and quit work
out of sympathy but they are far
between. The larger part of those
who put in the summer in idleness
while the leaders who advised
them to quit were living in luxury
on the dues collected from the
misguided ones, are not very keen
on the strike question with hard
winter staring them in the face,
and wages at the top notch.
Notwithstanding all the talk of
a strike the trial of those held for
murder will go on just the same
and a conviction will follow the
proof of guilt. 1t is very evident
that the threats are being circu-
lated with the sole idea of trying
to intimidate the judge, jury and
others connected with the trials.
One thing is plain. If the men are
guilty, they will be convicted and
if innocent they will get their lib
erty. The courts of Minnesota
are not that kind Of people and
threats will have no effect in the
trials.
This collecting for the defense
fund has been a source of consid-
cradle income for those in the
work. With story bristling with
lies and untruths, the collectors
have invaded the cities and other
centers of the United States and
have added several thousands tt
their treasury. If the attorneys
are to receive all this fund, they
they will be fixed for life.
Should a conviction follow the
trial, it is a certainty that one
very prolific source of revenue will
be cut off from those who have
