"The English navy saved all the country from complete annihilation,' ,'' he continued. At the commencement of the conflict England had 10000 men on the front; now it has 4,OO0,- 900. England's state of unprepared- ness can be sighted by an example in Canada. Before the war no shells were being made up there. At the beginning of the conflict the govern ment endeavored to turn out a thou sand shells a day which it considered would be doing we'll. Now about million shells are being manufac- tured each week or practically 1OO,- 900 each day.
 ''England's wonderful system can be seen from the manner in which she transport ed millions of men in troop ships and has not lost a, single vessel by doing so. At one time 1OO,- 900 men were transported from Hal flax to England.''
 Has Brother in Army.
 MT. Britton as a brother who is a major in the English army. In a letter received from him about 2 week ago Major Britton wrote that he is "stat1oned somewhere in Bel
 
 brother wrote him that when he first landed in Belgium "everything was German" The English didn't have sufficient men, ammunition or ar tinery. But now the shot fits the other foot.' said MT. Britton.
 Two wounded soldiers of his broth CTS company returned to Canada re- gently, he said, physically unfit for further service on the front because they came in contact with asphyxiat- ing gas as employed by the Germans They told BrittOn that his brothers battery was greatly troubled by these gases at first but now this is emedied since they wear masks for protection.
 MT BrittOn a few years ago was known all over the world as one of the greatest canOeists Canada has ever produced. In July, 1913, he captured the trophy offered by the American Canoe association against about twen- ty competitors at a meet at Sugar Island, on the St. Lawrence river. The posed of about 4,00O members and has been conducting races on the St. Lawrence since 1886, offering a trophy to the successful winner. Bonds for S15O have to be given by the cham piOn for the safe return of the trophy. Tn 1914 Rritton again demonstrated that he was a canOeist of no mean ability and was entitled to the name of champion when he again won the
New Britain herald., 1916-07-21

cup. A protest however, was entered by one of the contestants and rather than create a fuss Britton modestly withdrew his name as champion.
 Ln 1914 Britton challenged the New York Canoe club for the 1nter0a- tional trophy which has never yet been wrested from the club. A call was sent out by the club all over the country to canoeists to defend the trophy against Britton, who was foreigner, coming from Canada.
 A trial race among the competitors was held at Staten Island and resulted in a tie between James Newman or Boston and Leo Friede of New York in which the latter won.
 Friede successfully defended the trophy against MT. Britton, winning two straight races. MT. Britton, how ever, raced Friede on the St. Law renee later and defeated him.

FAMOUS CANOEIST
 DISCUSSES THE WAR
Can See Nothing But Ultimate
 Victory for Entente Allies

Ralph B. BrittOn of GananoQule' Ontario, Canada, twice winner of the American Crew association trophy and with it the name of champion of America and challenger for the In- tcrnational Sailing Canoe trophy in 1914, is now a resident of this city. MT. Britton who was in charge of one of the Stanley Works plants in Canada is now affiliated with the same concern in the special depart ment. He is making his home with Clayson s. Perry of Emmons Place.
 Having spent all his life in Can- ada, where he graduated from the Canadian college at Toronto, MT, Britton is as enthusiastically British as his name sounds. When speaking g last evening of the war situation, the former canoe champion of this cOun try could foresee nothing but triumph for England in the great European conflict. England has to be either annihilated in this war or triumph and I am confident that she will triumph" he said
 When asked how the people in Canada regarded the war he an- swered that they were all enthusiasts tic over it. 'There has been a Ger man war scare in Canada for years, y he said. The people knew when the war broke out that it would be the greatest conflict the world has ever seen. Everybody was prepared to make all kinds Of sacrifices. Mothers sent sons to war without even wailing because they knew it was their duty to go. The confidence that the pub lie has that England will whip the Germans can be seen from the man. ner in which they subscribed to a S5OOOOO war loan put through by the Canadian government In twenty four hours the loan was oversub- Gcribed by private individuals.
 Germany's early success in the war, MT. Britton says, was due en- tirely to the allies unpreparedness.

STEEPLEJACK HERE
 TO PAINT BIG STACK
Man Who Climbed WOoIworth Flag Pole Now Working On MalleabIe
 Iron Chimney.

Henry Peltier, the most daring
 steeplejack in New England. is now
 in town working on the smoke stacks
 of the Malleable Iron Works and also those of Corbin 6 Sons. Peltier has just arrived in town from Springfield,
 Mass, where he had been working for
 over two months doing daring jobs
 that nobody else would attempt
 Springfield secured the services of this man just after he caused so much
 favorable talk by his daring work
 on the fagpole of the WoolWorth
 building, New York. It was there that
 he surprised the daredevils of the
 world by taking his pail of paint and hoisting himself 7S0 feet in the air in the face of a forty -mile-an-hOur wind ! The New York papers made a hero
 of him and as a result Springfield of fered him an attractive financial in-
 ducement to come and repair their
 lofty regions. The first job of note . that Peltier did in Springfield was to
 hang the bells in the municipal 1 building. The city. fathers then in sisted that the peak of the city hall be
 gold leafed, whereupon Henry went to work and added to his honors by completing the work in record time.
 For over a month Pe1tier did daring g stunts in the air much to the delight of the crowds that always gathered to watch him work. A common ques- ton by the man on the street would be: "Where is Henry going to perform today?"
 It would take at least two columns to tell of the many almost impossible feats that Henry has won honors in, so the people can judge for them selves by watching him work here in New Britain

RUNS DOWN LIGHTED
 TRAFFIC STANDARD
Hartford Aut0iSt Charged With
 Driving While Intoxicated

c. Norton Parsons of Hartford, charged with operating a motor vehicle while in an intoxicated condi- tion, was given the benefit of doubt in his honor's mind this morning in police court when Judge John H. Kirkham suspended judgment Par- sons was arrested on Main street at 12:32 o'clock this morning by Off, cer William Murphy after he had driven blindly over the lighted silent officer" and had dragged it some dis tance along Main street beneath his machine.
 Evidence Against Accused.
 Officer Murphy testified that he was in front of Chatfeld's store when he heard a crash and turned around in time to see Parsons automo obile knock down the traffic post lighted red lantern and all, and proceed up Main street with the heavy standard wedged beneath the car. He stopped Parsons and said the man acted as though he was under the influence of liquor. Sergeant T. M. Herting, in charge of the police station when Par sons was brought in, stated that he seemed to be under the influence of liquor and his breath smelled strong 1y of liquor. He said Parsons admit ted that he had three or four drinks. Harold Ho1cOmb, disinterested wit ness who saw the whole affair, said that while Parsons was not drunk he appeared to be somewhat under the influence of liquor.
 Parsons denied the charges. He said he had been attending a com rnittee meeting in this city and had parked his car on the green. When he started he said he did not go fast CT than five miles an hour and instead of looking ahead to see where he was going he looked from side to side in search of some friends. He said that because he was not accustomed to seeing a red lantern on a traffic post at the intersection of the street he three bottles of beer but was not under the influence of liquor.
 Judge Excuses Prisoner.
 Judge Kirkham hesitated long over this case and finally asked if 1t was raining when the arrest was made. Receiving an affirmative answer he remarked that because of rain on the windshield Parsons might not have l judge said he was not satisfied that Parsons was under the influence of liquor enough to be dangerous, so he suspended judgment.
 Another AutOist Fined.
 Another automobi1ist from Hart ford, Louis Mitnick was fined S2 without costs for leaving his automO- bile in the restricted district on West Main street yesterday. Officer Patrick Quirk made the arrest and said Nit nick left his car there for forty minutes.
 Attorney Albert A. Greenberg ap- peared for the accused and pleaded ignorance of local ordinances. He said Mitnick drove his car around the corner and left it to go to a restaur- ant to get his dinner. Being able to leave a car on the street for forty minutes in Hartford, he naturally thought he could do the same thing here and did not notice the none too big signs on the curbing.
 Judge Kirl1ham thought Mitnic1 should have seen the traffic sign.

Old Prescription
 For Weak Kidneys

A medicinal preparation like Dr. ki1mer's Swamp-Ro that has real curative value almost sells itself. Like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who. have been benefited to those who are in need of it.
 pr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is a phy- sician's prescription. It has been tested for years and has brought re- suits to countless numbers who have suffered.
 The success of pr. Kilm err S SWamp-Root is due to the fact that is fulfills almost every wish in over coming kidney liver and bladder dis eases, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
 Do not suffer. Get a bottle of Swamp-Root from any druggist now. Start treatment today.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to pr. Kilmer & G.. Binghamton N. Y. for sar,ple bottle. When writing be sure and mention the New Britain Herald.
