LONDON PAPERS GIVE
IDEA OF SENTIMENT
Say Germany Wants Peace
Before Power Of United
States Felt

London, Aug. 15.-Germany is work
ing with all her power for peace before
the full weight Of America can be
thrown against her. This was the grow
ing belief in London today, following
overnight consideration of the peace
appeal of Pope Benedict.
A chorus of mingled surprise that His
Holiness should be so misinformed to
sentiment in allied countries, of firm
decision not to accept his proposals
and of even derision rose today in edit
orials from the press.
"We are fighting for one thing, vic
tory of democracy over aggression, -
was the peace keynote from the govern
ment as voiced by Lloyd George in an
informal address.
Under the heading "the great peace
offensive the Evening Standard this
afternoon says:
"It (the pope's appeaD shows that
Germany is working with might and
main to get peace before the full weight
of the United States is felt on the bat
tie field. The pope must be singular
ly ill-informed as to the state of public
feeling among the allies.''
The Westminster Gazette deprecates
the hasty assumption that the pope s
appeal is the result of German intrigue,
but points out the futility Of such pro-
posals so long as Germany approves of

bassador Gerard that there is fno lon

The Pail Mall Gazette asks: "What
security are the allies to receive of the
fulfillment of such terms mentioned by
the pope, so long as Germany retains
the power to break treaties and her long
series of crimes go unpunishedR -
Characterizing the appeal as incom-
parable folly, the Globe says:

win provoke nothing but laughter and
contempt"

Gov. Norbeck has gone toWashing-
ton on two missions. One is to see
if special dispensation can be secur-
ed to permit Chinese and Japanese
labor to be brought to South Dakota
to work on farms during the duration
of the war. The other is to see if
arrangements can not be made SO
that troops from South Dakota can
be kept togther, and recognized as
South Dakota troops Under the
present arrangement the troops from
this state are distributed among va
rious regiments, and az state organ
iztaion their identity is lot. As a
matter of state pride it would be de-
sirable to have a distinct organization
so that any distinguished service that
the boys may render would be credited
to the state, and history would place
South Dakota on the map. 1t seems
however, that the policy Of the war
department has been to mobilize the
army without regard to states, the
various divisions being made up OF
troops from all parts of the country.

TEMPERANCE CAMPAIGN
Severa' Noted Speakers Will Address
 the People of Canaan.

In the interest of the temperance cau~e several speakers of state and nat.uudl reputst stion have been engaged to address the people of this town, and to give the views on tine subject of ten. prrance, of which they have made exhau>lve study.
 The first of these lectures will take place in the park this Wednesday even. ing. lion. James H. Woertendyke, of California, is the first speoker to appear in CanHan during tnIs campaign. Mir. WoerteAdSke is an orator of national reputation, and delivered over 200 lectures in Chicago. He is an attorney, and hns spoken in every section of the country. During practice, as an atto-. ney, extending over l2 years he has not lost one case. Few men have built up for themselves such a reputation as he enjoys.
 Father Zurcher, who is we'll kI own as an orator and temperance worker, will speak next Monday. He has gained the reputation, not only in, this town, but wherever he has appeared on the public platform, of being thoughtful, powerful and convincing speaker. It is expected that very large audience, from this section, will be attracted by previous knowledge of Rev. Father Zurcher's ability to turn a dry topic into an interesting address.
 On next Wednesday evening, Gustave T. Bochman, secretary of the Conn. Temperance Union, and an officer of the State Federation of Labor, will speak. MT. Bochman will very clearly outline his views on the temperance question from the standpoint of 8 urunkard. He is an able orator. and since his reform has devoted much time to the temperance cause as relat. ing to tLe laboring men.

HOME GUARD AT TWISTED
Canaan Boys Journey to Winsted and
 Make CreditabIe Showing.

Battalion A, fifth military district, Capt. H. H. Saunders, commanding, assembled at the Gilbert field in Win sted, last Sunday, when they went through various drill movements. be. fore nearly 5000 people. Every avail able space in the park and on the roads nearby was taken up by automobiles and other vehicles.
 The Canaan company, in charge of Captain Roraback made the trip by automobile, leaving here about 2:00. On their arrival at the field, they took their position next to the New Hartford company. The Hartford Home guard band marched to Gilbert field shortly before 3 o'clock, and in the interval while awaiting the arrival of detach- ments from New Hartford, Canaan and Norfolk the band rendered several selections.
 The ceremonies began with the pre- sentation of the national emblem to the battalion color bearer, the flag being received from Col. Geddes of Waterbury who arrived with hls staff about 3:20 p. m. In drill work Norfolk went through the exercises of guard mount, Canaan took up calisthenics New Hartford extended order anG Winsted platoon work. All acquitted themselves creditable. At the cenclu sio1 of the drill, the band played the national hymn as the colors were lowered, the spectators standing with barred heads.
 Before the men left the field Col. Geddes in few we'll chosen words congratulated them on their work. He said he fully realized that they had been put to in the way of personal sac rif1ce in giving their time to drill work, many taking the time from their business affairs. at the armory imme- diately following, 900 doughnuts and 20 gallons of coffee were served to the men.
 At meeting of Battalion A at Nor. folk Saturday Captain H. H. Saunders was elected president, Captain J. Clin- ton RoIaback of Canaan, clerk, Cap- tain H. $. Case, treasurer and Captain Q. M. Maxfield of New Hartford, chair man of the executive committee.

CAMPAIGN FOR BOOKS
A Million Dollars for Million Books
 for Million Men.

At a meeting of the Conn. Library Association held at the request of the Conn. War Library Council, in the capitol at Hartford, this Wednesday, plans are being made to raise $65, 1000, the state's share of $l,OO0,000. to be raised throughout the United States, for the purpose of supplying books for our soldiers at the front.
 The campaign starts next Monday and will continue for one week. Local men and women have become in. terested, and they are now working on plans which will enable Canaan to contribute her share of the $65, ,000 without making the contribution a burden to anyone. It is thought that some such plan as was used to assist the Red Cross will be arranged Few people realize that our soldiers 1 in France, are really in desperate straights for the want of reading matter. These men are sent across the wate: to receive training which cannot be successfully dcne in this country, and which takes months to make them proficient in the art of modern wa. . fare. We are benettting by the mis- takes made by our allies. in rushing headlong in the great battle thinking that superior numbers would surely turn the tide of deteat to victory. For i this rashness England and France has paid with the lives of thousands of its soldiers.
 l Uncle Sam is safeguarding YOUR boy by giving him training which will ] enable him to stsnd at least an even chance with the enemy. During this training the soldier has time for relax ation. It is up to YOU to do your part and help supply our soldiers with read. ing matter which they cannot obtsln, and which will help keep them from dens where vice reigns and assist in preserving their mental and physical condition.

BATTALION c. DRILLS.

A practice drill of Battalion O., 9th Dist. c. N. G., consisting of the Salis- bury, Cornwall and sharon companies and the Falls Village Platoon, wes held at the Hotchkiss School field on Sunday afternoon. The different con- mands assembled at the field at 2:I5 P. M. sharp, armed and equipped as for regular drill.
 This was the first occasion on which the several units of the Battalion en- gagged in joint drill, and the work was mostly in battalion formation.
 It is estimated that over 1000 persons witnessed tue dill, coming from nearly all the nearby towns. Due to the fact that there was a practice drill in Win. sted, the attendance was smaller than it would have been otherwise. The different companies made good show. ing and much favorable comment was heard on the work done.
