Mayor Quigley Sounds Alarm for
More Hands at Farm
BAD WEATHER IS PERIL
Rain or Frost May Destroy Harvest
Unless Volunteer Workers Respond
More Than 1,1oo Bushels Bought
for Public Here on Freight.

Mayor Quigley has spent consider
able time today organizing volun-
teer battalion of men to go to the
Municipal farm tomorrow to pick up
potatoes. In calling for such assis-
tance the mayor states in no uncertain
terms that unless help is secured at
once the municipal potato crop will
be lost. The automatic digger will dig
the potatoes faster than they can be
gathered and it is up to the public
to help, the mayor declares, Owing
to the advanced season and the pos
sibility of freezing weather soon the
crop must be harvested to save it.
A large freight car containing a
consignment of 1,173 bushels of po-
tatoes from New York state, pur-
chased by the Municipal farm COM
mittee last week, arrived this morn
ing. The potatoes will be unloaded
into H. r. Walkers storehouse, the
use of which has been offered gratis.
Whether these potatoes will be dis
posed OF at once, or held, will be de-
cided later.
Mayor Quigley conferred this morn
ing with a man just returned from
upper New York state. He says that
owing to the scarcity Of help the
grape. potato and apple crops are
endangered. Grapes, he said, are
selling at SIS a ton In order to save
them from total loss. Apples are
freezing on the trees and potatoes are
freezing in the ground, he states.

AROUSE THE PEOPLE
TO RESPONSIBILITY
Premier Kerensky Makes
Strong Address to Re-
kindle Enthusiasm.

PetrOgrad, Oct. 24-In an emotional
address to the preliminary parliament
today Premier Kerensky appealed to
the delegates to endeavor to arouse
in the people the same sense of in
dividual responsibility at the front
and in the rear which carried the
Russians to victory for a time in the
post-revoluttonary offensive early in
July. He deplored the present de-
EloraHzation of the army.
If only we could re-kindle the en-
thusiasm Of those July days in the
heart of each man." he said, 1--WE
should have probably at Christmas
an honorable peace for free Russia,
with the war fought to an honorable
end"
The premier talked for an hour,
running the gamut Of emotions from
despair to hope. He was applauded
on all sides.
I'VE are not fighting for political
ends, but for the very existence OF
Russia" he declared. THE army in
the trenches seems to have lost the
sense of duty and honor. although al
some places it is filled with new
spirit. The batteries on Oesel island
gave up without a struggle, while the
little Dago island forces fought brave.
ly."
M. Kerensky defended the govern.
ment against charges made by M
Margon, radical, who blamed officers
for the Generalization of the army
and limited at monarchial plots. He
said the Korniloff revolt was not mon
archial but a mere attempt at a die
tatorship, as also was the Bolshevik
revolt of July.
Peace has been postponed by th'
disintegration of the army force
which are continuing the work o
the old regime" he said.

RECTOR BODLEY TO
REMOVE FROM CITY
Advises Wardens and Vestrymce. of
st. Marks Church of His
Changed Plans.

Rev. Harry I. Bodley, who retires
as rector of st. Marks church on No
vember 1, will not continue to make
his residence in this city, as he at first
intended, but will remove to Spring.
field. where his two daughters are
living.
This information was made known
through a letter Rector Bodley wrote
to the wardens and vestrymen of st.
Marks church on October 20. The let
ter follows:
October 20, 1917.
To the Wardens and Vestrymen of
st. Marks Church, New Brit
ain, Conn.
Dear Brethren:-
After more mature considera-
ton 1 have concluded to remove
out Of New Britain at the close Of
my rectorship.
MY two daughters live in
Springfield, Mass, and by resid-
ing there we could have them at
home. I should also in that way
avoid the inevitable drain upon
my health that continuance here
would entail.
MY present purpose, therefore.
is to remove to Springfield, Mass,
to reside for year at least and
feel that it is only fair to inform
you of my changed purpose.
Yours Faithfully
HARRY I. BODLEY.
The parishioners of st. Marks met
last night and acted on Rector Bod
ley's resignation. An account of the
meeting is published on another page
