pAYvILLE COMPANY LEApS
 DISTRICT WITH $26yooo.
After Assawaaa Mill Employss Had Taken $feo00 Bonds, Company Sub scribed $26,oo0.

Afternoon reports Friday showed l that the Liberty loan subscriptions for | the district amounted to t2S5.000. This was increased some during the day. but nearly $70.000 remains to be raised today if this district is to equal 1 the record 1t made in the June cam paign, when the subscriptions amount ed to $337, ,000.
 l The canvass for subscriptions con- tinued with success during Friday and many subscriptions wore received. | among them the star boost of the local campaign. This came from the Assa- concern subscribing for s25.ooo worth of bonds. Outside subscriptions by the banks, this is the largest single subscription that has been received already in this drive had credit for $1o, 900 in subscriptions taken for it's employees so the concern and it's work CTS now stand at the head of the list for $35,000 in subscriptions. To the many who are in position to subscribe for bonds of small denomi- nation, and who have not yet done 50, the Killingly Central Liberty loan com nittee makes its closing appeal this that this should not be listed as a stacker district. and it will not be if each person who is able to subscribe does so, be the bond taken of only the
 
 ready and willing to take subscriptions on a weekly payment plan, accepting as little as one dollar a week. That ali who wish may have every chance to subscribe, the banks will remain open this evening.
 No reports on the progress of the canvass among mill operatives in the various towns of the district was made Friday. There will be a heavy addi- tion to the subscriptions from this source, however. and it is expected that final reports will be available to- night.

J.. by his entries of thoroughbred Percheron horses and Berkehire hogs.
 These awards, won against the best in the eastern states. are more than 60 fin number and testify to the remarka- ble collection of animals at the Doane Hall farm.
 Included in the awards are several medals and special prizes oered by the Percheron Society of America and the American Berkshire association.
 The result of the exhibition. of this prize stock by Mir. Wfcks has been a flood of inquiries from all eastern states relative to his stock and his
 methods of handling 1t.
 The Doane Hall farm is one of the finest institutions of it's kind in this section of New England and there is being done there work in. breeding thoroughbred horses and hogs that is in line with the very best effort being directed toward increasing holdings of live stock in the New England states.
 Ar. wicks has a wonderful collec- tfon of horses and hogs and his stock breeding is rapidly bringing him to the forefront among men in his line in the east.

HE RECEIVES THE SAME TREAT
MENT FROM THEM THEY EXPECT
FROM HIM" %@
ALL AMERICAN REGIMENTS,

A recent issue of the Chicago Eve
ming Post, one Of the leading papers
of the country, contained the follow
ing editorial: .r,,-.-e'.e... rs~ -,.-s.--.-.<,g
All American Regiments.
Men who are or who have assumed
to be spokesman for the different
"original nationalities" which go to
make up our American life have
offered to raise regiments composed
entirely of volunteers of German
Americans, Swedish-Americans, Irish
Americans, or of some other kind of
Americans to serve this country in
time of need.
This is all very we'll as showing a
proper spirit of willingness to defend
the country, but the good of the future
of the land demands that regiments be
composed of men of all origins. What
the United States wants to get rid of
is the Americanism which has some
other kind of an ism coupled with it.
1t will make for real Americanism
If into all the regiments which, un-
happily, may have to be raised there
shall enter all the elements of Ameri-
can life. There is no melting pot like
the army camp kettle; and there is
no democracy like that of the dog
tent. Soldiers in the field get to know
one another. Their aims are the same
and their life becomes the same. They
carry back home the democracy and
the comradeship which they learned to
understand and to love in the field.
We never will get rid of hyphen.
ated Americanism if we have hyphen-
ated regiments in the service. Men
of English, Irish, German, Swedish,
Scotch or any other extraction should
serve together when the cause is that
of the country which they have made
their own.
We have reprinted the entire article
because we believe that every word
| of it is true. All good American citi.
| zens should join in the effort to break
down the color line which at present
confines colored soldiers to four seq.
regated regiments, which are a relic of
the Civil war.
Now that war is really here, colored
| patriots are ready and anxious to be-
| come defenders of their country. They
should be allowed to enlist anywhere
and at any time in any regiment
of the United States army. They have
proved their loyalty and valor from
| Bunker Hill to Carrizal.
Cut out the color line in the army
WE ARE ALL AMERICANS.

THE WAR NOT IN VAIN,

If the revolution in Russia means
that. the Jews and other subject races
will be given full citizenship and that
the pale will be abolished, then the
bloody European war has not been in
vain.
The new government has given this
pledge and the Jewish people and the
Poles and other peoples who have felt
the iron heel of Russian tyranny are
rejoicing.
Whether the action will be sus-
tanned by the Russian masses is an
open question, but the chances are
that it will be approved as the masses
of all the various races have been
comparatively friendly in their deal
ings with each other when uninflu.
enced by government coercion.
The great danger is that the pres
ent government may be overthrow
by the return of the Romanoffs or the
reactionaries to power. The pogroms
or massacres of the Jews were in
variably arranged either by the gov
eminent or the Greek church authori-
ties.
Let us hope that there will never be
reversion to government by terror
ism.

OPPOSES JEWISH REGIMENT.

DR.. E. G. Hirsch of Chicago, is one
of the most learned Hebrews in the
world and he is quicker to see the
dangers of segregation than some of
his co-religionists. In recent inter.
view he said:
"The idea of raising a Jewish regi.
ment, which you say they plan to dc
in New York, seems to me utterly alb
surd," declared DR.. Emil G.. Hirscb
today, with reference to report that
Samuel Untermyer and other Jewish
financiers of New York had pledged
themselves to do everything within
their means to recruit and outfit 3
Jewish regiment.
III Jews want to join the army, lei
them do so. But why organize a spe
cial Jewish regiment? You don't heal
of any ones organizing Catholic regi
ment, do you? The idea is ridiculous
and Jews who promote such thing.
only add to the impression that the
Jews are clannish."

PLUTocRATs DOING HARM.

Says the Saturday Evening Post:
"The modern plutocratic ideal is to
soar far away from the common lot
and then voloplane gracefully back to
it. Why take the trouble to soar at
all? Why not distribute the millions
for the common veal before they are
collected in the capacious individual
reservoir"

THE MOST LOYAL GROUP.

The colored people of Chicago had
a patriotic rally recently. There were
more than 5000 persons in attendance
at the main meeting and the overflow
meetings.
Strong resolutions were passed, in
which they referred to themselves as
"the colored citizens of Chicago" and
declared that notwithstanding the fact
that they were not treated as other
American citizens and deprived of
many of their rights of citizenship,
they would not hesitate to give their
lives for their country. That's loyalty
and patriotism, greater than evinced
by any other American group, because
no other class is denied the rights of
citizenship.
The few Chicago papers who gave
meager accounts of the meeting re.
ferred to the participants as negroes
and did not print one line of the reso.
lutions.
The following are the resolutions
printed in one Chicago paper six days
after the meeting was held:
Mindful of the fact that from the
hour of the formation of this nation
in every moment of it's peril, our faith
ers have consecrated their lives to the
protection of our country, our flag and
our nation and have placed their hope
for the full enjoyment of all the rights
of American citizens in the pledge Of
the Declaration Of Independence anG
the Constitution of this their country
And further mindful of the fact thai
because the American people in the
midst of the terrible war devastating
Europe, true to their traditions, have
found it to be their duty to insist upo1
the observance Of the sacred rights O.
humanity and neutrals on the part O.
belligerents, this action finds itself to
day on the brink of war which will
engage the entire resources of this
country, material and patriotic;
Be it resolved, That we, the coloret
citizens of Chicago in mass meetins
assembled, do reaffirm our readiness
to discharge every duty incumbent or
an American citizen, Notwithstanding
the fact that all rights and privileges
are not always accorded to US.
Be it further resolved, That we re
consecrate our lives, our energies and
our resources to the protection of oul
country, our flag and our government
and that we hereby pledge to the
president of the United States, Con
gress, the governor of Illinois, our un
qualified loyalty and support in each
and every exigency which may arise
and we do call upon all loyal citizens
to cooperate with us.
Be it further resolved, That as citi
zens of the State of Illinois we pledge
our unqualified support to sustain and
maintain the Eighth Regiment Infan.
