One Dollar VIII Furnish Book.

A survey of the entire field has
determined that S1.00 will furnish a
book, keep it in circulation, replace
It when it is worn out, and all the
time pay share of the expense of
properly housing and caring for these
libraries in the various camps.
One dollar apiece from the stay-at-
homes will give to those who are
fighting our battles some of the plea

homesickness and loneliness. and
keep therh in touch with the life
they have vacated.

in the nation will also exert every energy for the country's welfare. The transportation facilities of the country have been regulated so as to give the right of way to everything needed for the conduct of war; Men and intuition for the two branches of the fighting service will receive every consideration from the railroads and steamboat lines.
 So, the forces of the nation are marshalled. They are being rapidly mooilized for the great good of the country. There has never been such spirit in the land before. It is q united country. From one end of it to the other men and women, and boys and girls, are joined in the move ment of preparation for the conflict Sectional feeling has been forgotten. There is no North. There is no South. No East, no West Few are disloyal. and these are under the vis- 1lance of Secret Service men operating no one knows where.
 The forces of the country are mar shalled as they have never been be- fore. Yet this is merely the start As the days go on. there will be even bigger strides in the movement It all comes down from the prepared ness movement of less than two years ago. Having seen what happened to England and France when attacked by an enemy prepared for great number of years, the easy-going peo- pie of this continent knew that sooner or later Uncle Sam must harness his physical. economic, industrial, and moral power. He is now doing so in way never dreamed of in past wars. When he gets ready to turn loose his great force, woe to those who stand in the way.

nrARsHALLING OUR FORCES.

Assurances from the American
 Federation of Labor that it's united ,Etrength will be thrown solidly in fback of Uncle Sam at this period is lcause for deep qualification. To know that the laboring men of the country will prove loyal in time of national lcrisis is a4jey in itself. Voluntarily, .the leaders ofFunion labor have of fered their good services to the coun- try. There will be no agitation with
 in the country while there is danger
 from without. The rights of labor
 will be abandoned for the time being while the national safety is at stake. lThis is Sacrifice that will be ap- |preciated as&the years unfold.
 \ While the+ men who make the gwheels of industry turn around are their forces for the ben- aeat of the nation, the employers of Aabor are also lending hand. The aproduct of the great industries of the
 ha tion will be delivered to Uncle Sam for his army and navy needs at prices
 that are compatible with good pa- ,triotism. There will be no hold up 1 in the war of 1917 as there was in the war of 1861. Extravaganza of
 Civil War days will not be known in j this day and generation. The men at 1 the head of the army and navy have iconducted their plans in business-like t,fashion. They have the assurances tIof the men with whom they must do fbusiness that there will be no extor- ftion. If this is not enough the De- Epartment of Justice stands ready to Eround up and prosecute any offender. Having the good, will of the men who mekS goods Spd the men who lseu goaus5 the rnned States now has also the guarantee that the men who \ haul these goods from the place of l manufacture to the distributing points

ROOT DISAPPROVES
 COALITION CABINET
Declares Entire Country Should Stand Behind the President

New York, April 10.-Ex-senator Elihu Root told a big gathering of republicans who had met in the Re- publican club in West Fortieth street last night to pass resolutions of loyal ty to the president of the United States, that it was the duty of all re- publicans to stand squarely behind the president in the present war, no matter what mistakes might be made or how much the party in power was criticised. He was cheered when he declared that coalition cabinet was not now necessary, as the whole coun- try was with the president, regardless of party.
 we must have no criticism now" he declared. "The fate of our country Is involved. We must sweep all that away. Other countries change. Eng land has now a coalition government and France has changed several times, while the great Russian democracy has come into her own and over thrown the autocratic government which was already bargaining with Germany for the preservation of autocracy.
 For four years to come the Demo- 
 ton, and as we love our country we must give to that party our whole hearted, earnest, sincere support, just as if every man here was Republi can. That is the only way we can prove not only our love for our coun- try as individuals, but that the re- publican party loves it's country more than place and power. ..
 Naraf to make us loyal. We will make coalition ourselves with every demo- crat in the country. The coalition of the United States will be of all it's people. to hold up the hands of the government of the United States, no matter from which party it comes"
 At another part in his speech the crowd got up and cheered loudly when MT. Root declared:
 "One thing we ought to do. We must: lose no opportunity in public or private to urge and insist upon vigorous and real war. The honor and dignity of our country depends upon the part she plays. We have got to show that she is a nation not a mere aggregation of people. Is there in America the capacity to so use the vast wealth and millions of men, the inventive genius and business sense of this republic to see that no nation in this world will ever again think it light and easy thing to enter upon war with us?"
 The one essential thing, MT. Root said, was to speed the enlargement and completion of all parts of the navy and raise with all expedition great and competent army. It is necessary. he said, to make national army with singleness of purpose and sympathy, responsible to the one commander in chief, and not to stoop to bickerings.

FRANCE AND AMERICA.

Just as the Stars and Stripes are living from the factories and public buildings of New Britain and all cities Ind towns throughout the United FtAtes. so today they snap in the breezes from the housetops of all France. Throughout the greatest Re- public of Europe Old Glory carries the message from another Republic, the ,remier of them all. Side by side wave the flags of France and America.
 It is fitting that this is so. It is a
 drilling thought to all patriotic Americans that the Star Spangled Banner waves from all the public 5uildings and from the homes throughout France. When the Amer can colonies decided to strike the blow against the tyranny of King heorge of England it was the French lag that first came to their assistance. When George Washington mobilized his armies to defend the infant nation rom the invasion of the enemy the lag that Betsy Ross designed went rto battle upheld by men of French blood. Washington and his generals were surrounded by such capable aid $ that furnished by the great Lafay- stte. and Rochambeau.shdea host of other glorious heroes of the Tri-color.
 Long may Old Glory wave through put France. Long may she prove a source of inspiration to those who are lighting the battle of humanity, of democracy. Long may she eHcourage hose who are giving their life, blood Q the task of stamping out, ortce and sor all, tyranny from the face Of the earth. When the time comes, Amer
 can hands will go forth to uphold Old Glory on French soil, if, needs be, and to prove to the world that the Star Spangled Banner was destined to wave over all lands of the free and homes of the brave in friendliness and sympathy with the people of the world.

CITY COURT JURY DISAGREES
Unable to Arrive at Any Conclusion in Case of Vernale vs. Giafalo and is Discharged.

After a lengthy conference follow ing several drawn-out sessions Of tes- timony taking, the jury hearing the case of Tony Vernale vs. Mrs. Jose phine Giafalo reported a disagree ment to Judge John H. Kirkham in city court yesterday afternoon and was discharged. After a conference of over an hour and a half. the dis agreement was reported. Judge Kirk ham sent the jury out a second time in an attempt to secure a verdict. There was a similar result.
 Based on an alleged theft of $120 by the defendant from the home of the plaintiff, the case has been in criminal and civil court since last December. Following the arrest of Mrs. Giafalo by Detective A. J. Rich ardson, she was arraigned before Judge James T. Meskill in police court, probable cause was found and she was bound over to superior court. In superior court. States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn nolled the complaint without arraignment. Civil action was then brought and a jury trial se- cured.
 Several days have been occupied in examination of witnesses. Denial of a plea for a non suit resulted in a continuance of the case, beginning at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. Judge Frederick B. Hungerford and Attor- ney Fred c. Bauby of Waterbury were counsel for the plaintiff while the de- fense was represented by Judge B. F. Gaffney and Attorney M D. Sake.
 Testimony was all in at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Two hours each were given counsel for the plaintiff and defendant for argument. Judge k1rkham charged the jury at 4:30.

Great, great a bit nervous. If the
 who rose from the ranks, ever got
 inside the German Empire it might
 work havoc with the designs of the
 Hohenzollern dynasty. In fact. there might even be g. repetition of the Rus sian affair. This despite the fact that the German people have had the idea
 of Kultur drilled into them for To these many years, even for two or more generations. So, to forestall this subtle attack of pen mightier than any sword in Germany Wilhelm ordered the censors to get busy. What they did to President Wilson's message would rival any butcher in the world. They slashed. They chopped. They slew it. But there was another force the Kaiser did not consider,-the airplanes of the British ard French. The avfators from these nations flew over the German lines and dropped the message of democracy into the trenches. And so, taking warning, Wilhelm, the IT,, Emperor of all Germany. got busy on his Easter message. In it he men, tioned something about "A Peoples Kingdom of the Hohenzollern,' which is so diametrically opposed to the old doctrine of ''The People Be Damned" that we begin to wonder.
