KAISER LOUD IN HIS
 PRAISE OF SOLDIERS
EXhOrtS Them to Remain SteadfaSt
 to Day Of Victory

Amsterdam, Aug. 1, via London Il a. m.-Emperor William, according to a telegram received here today from Berlin, has issued the following proc lamation to the German forces on land and sea:
 "Comrades, the second year of the world war has elapsed. Like the first year 1t was for Germany's arms a year of glory. On all fronts you inflicted new and heavy blows on the enemy.
 "Whether the enemy retreated, borne down by the force of your at- tacks, or whether reinforced by for eign assistance collected and pressed into service from all parts of the world, he tried to rob you of the fruits of former victories, you always proved yourselves superior to him.
 "Even where England's tyranny was uncontested, namely on the free waves of the sea, you victoriously fought against gigantic superiority. Your kaiser's appreciation and your grateful country's proud admiration are assured to you for these deeds. for your unshaken loyalty, for your bold daring and for your tenacious bray cry.
 Like the memory of our dead heroes, your fame also will endure through all time. The laurels which our over-corfdent forces have won against the enemy in spite of trials and dangers, are insepara bly, linked with the devoted and untiring labor at home.
 "This strength at home has sent an everfresh inspiration to the armies in the field. It has continually quick ened our swords, has kindled Ger many's enthusiasm and has terrified the enemy. My gratitude and that of the fatherland are due the nation at home.
 But the strength and will of the enemy are not yet broken. We must continue the severe struggle in order to secure the safety of our beloved homeland to preserve the honor of the fatherland and the greatness of the empire.
 Whether the enemy wages war with the force of arms or with cold, calculating malice, we shall continue as before, into the third year of the war. The spirit of duty to the father land and an unbending will to victory permeate our homes and our fighting forces today as in the first days of the war. With Gods gracious help I am convinced that your future deeds will equal those of the past and present.
 Main headquarters,
 tWILHELM.''

RAPHAEL TO HAVE NEW STORE.
Two Stories For WOmen's and Chil-
 dren's Wearing Apparel.

As soon as the new block, now be- ing constructed adjacent to the New Britain Savings Bank on Main street is completed, New Britain will have another women's and children's ap- parel shop, it has been learned. Nor ris Raphael of 77 Grove Hill, for merly senior partner of the firm of M. Raphael & Son, is to be the pro- prietor of the new store. MT. Ra- phaePs proposed establishment will consist of two floors, the main floor being entirely devoted to womens suits and cloaks while the basement will be used for the display of chtl- drens garments.
 The cloaks and suits to be sold in the store will be manufactured in this city by MT. Raphael and work on them has already been started MT. Raphael planned to open his store by fall but since the progress on the ron- struction of the block has been so slow, he has had to alter his plans and now it is doubtful whether the store will be ready for occupancy before December
 With the opening of the new store, the Raphaels will have three stores i'll this city. At present Louis Raphael is the proprietor of RaphaePs depart ment store at 380 Main street. Will

 Judge Walsh was not sure whether he favored the acceptance of the offer as it had been determined wheth CT the architect was to blame for the existing conditions. President Gaff- ney considered it fair to leave the matter with the committee to decide on the acceptance of the offer.
 According to the Foundation com- panys contract the work will be started five days after the contract is let, the work to be done on a 15 per cent, basis. This is considered a bet ter way to do the work than be is- suing calls for bids by the school board.
 The sum of $5,O0O was originally appropriated for excavation work, this being due to the fact that it was known that peat and sand were In the ground where the building was to stand. Of this sum ony S1,7OO was expended, the remainder being turned back to another fund. Subsequent events have led many to believe that had the necessary attention been de- voted to the work later expense would have been unnecessary.
 As to where the money will come from was also the base for lengthy discussion. It was suggested that the amount be taken from the new build ing fund, but MT. Traut stated that s15.000 would be necessary for the Osgood Hill school and a like amount for outstanding bills contracted for the Vocational school. Secretary Hatch suggested that the bills be al- lowed to stand for a while and when the bids are called for the proposed Burritt school, enough money can he asked to pay for the foundation This met with the approval of the board.
 MT. Traut reported that specified tions for the Burritt school will be sent out this week and will be in August 25. It is planned to com mence the work as soon as possible after that.

ed when he entered the hall arm in
