Henry A. TirrelI Speaks.
 Chairman Col. Charles Gale intro- 1 duced Principal Henry A. Tirrell of the Norwich Free Academy. who in CTS spell bound by his eloquent and earnest words: he said in part: This Is an age of unrealftfes this is what Col. Gale thought when he ate his pie. Even our clothing Is not as real to us as the clothing was to our an- cestors who made their own: our food Is not as real to us as food was to the people when they raised what they ate: we do not raise our own as 6 rule. Hunger Is not real to most of us; few of us know wfiatsreal hunger is, nor do we know what real sacrifice is: we know the word. but we do not know sacrifice. We don't know
 real war yet; France, Russia and Eng
 land knew what 1t is, and we will know what it is when our own boys go into the trenches. =, - State vs. Individuai. TT

 If it were necessary to raise more money for the T. M. c. A. war work we would have the right to ask all the people to double their subscrip- tions; hardly any person in Norwich has yet given till it hurts" As Mr. Tirrell finished his address the men applauded loudly. At this point May or Brown. the campaign director cail- ed for the reports of the teams. Her. bert E. Cary was the first captain to report. and before giving the results of his team's work for the day he said, '.Forty-f1ve years ago a famous general. was born whose name was Macpherson, now the worthy general of our division: the members of the teams of his division desired to rec osnize this anniversary of his birth. and they have made up the sum of $5 to be given in his name to- the war fund, and we take pleasure in pre- senting him with this little token: Mir. Cary then handed General Mac. pherson a fine jaclzknife, and the workers went wild with hearty a1,s- plause. General Macpherson respond ed in his usual happy way. thankines the members of his division for their theughtfulness
