who come to school tardy, the pro-
gress and efficiency committee of the

POLISH CAMPAIGN CLOSES

War Workers Report Success in
Collecting Funds for Relief of Sol
dicrs.
With the sum of $2,067.25 collected
last night the house to house can
vass started by the Polish War Vic
tim committee, Tuesday Dec. 4, came
to very successful close last night.
Beyond any doubt, whatsoever, it has
been a most decided success. The
munificent sum of $S,155.16 gathered
by the young ladies of the Sacred
Heart parish, during the weeks dura-
ton of the canvass was really beyond
the most sanguine hopes and expec-
tations of the committee in charge.
While the house to house canvass
was ended yesterday, individual con-
tributions will be gladly received by
the Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski, pastor of
the Sacred Heart church at any time
hereafter
That the people of New Britain and
vicinity have responded nobly to the
appeal made by the Polish commit
tee is now a matter of fact, a reality.
Contribute to one fund after another
as the generous people of New Brit
ain have been called upon to do in
the last few months and to cover
themselves with glory in this latest
campaign, is really a fitting tribute
to the boys who are in the service
for the preservation of democracy.
The cheerful manner in which the
appeal has been received by the
people of New Britain and vicinity is
really just comparison to the cheer
full response those boys have made
when they have heard the appeal of
Liberty. They have disregarded the
cry of defiance of an autocratic gov
eminent; they have gone to avenge
the Lusitania horror, the subjugation
of Belgium and the devastation of
France. Belgium, Poland and other
countries of Europe!
May the boys go to fight our battles
on the fields of France and on those
OF our foe, with the realization that
the people of New Britain have a little
niche in their hearts for them and
that they will always cherish fond
regards and admiration for the sacri-
fees they have made to make this
world safe for democracy.

France but apparently held up and
delivered altogether.
Until the receipt of today's mail
the parents of the young sailor had
heard nothing from him since October
81 when he left his home here to re-
port to his vessel in New York. The
fact that he did not write them from
New York is accounted for by the
explanation that within four hours Of
the time he was at the Berlin station
he was outward bound on a liner for
France The vessel to which young
Hoar had been assigned sailed before
he arrived in New York and as a
result he was sent across on a liner
and transferred to his own boat in
foreign waters. At the present time
he is on q United States ship which
was formerly a German liner.
In his letters, Sailor Hoar states
that the weather in France is bad and
he has seen the sunshine on only
few occasions since arriving. He also
advises his parents to pay no attention
to rumors as in the Paris edition of
the New York Herald be read an I'M
official account of the sinking of the
very boat on which he arrived. He
also writes interestingly of the sights
he has seen abroad.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
WANTS SOME COAL
There's Only One Ton Left in Each of
the Bridgeport Fire Houses
at Present.

Bridgeport, Dee. 11.-Chief Daniel
e. Johnson of the city fire department
appealed today to Carl F. Siemon.
chairman of the local fuel commit
tee, for rough coal to keep the fire
apparatus in operation. He said there
was only about one ton of coal for
each of the fire houses, and that the
department used about 1900 tons of
anthracite a year. Seven tons of coal
had been obtained yesterday by the
department from local dealers, but
this was all he could find in the city.
Chairman Sicmon told him that the
committee would do what it could
to fill the fuel needs but could not
promise any great quantity at any
time.
The city failed to find a place for
its usual coal order last summer and
all departments are now very short
of fuel.

SUES FOR JUDGMENT.
American Hardware Corp. Brings
Action Against AIpert

An echo of the historic lawsuit of
the American Hardware corporation
against Harry Alpert was heard yes
terday when the corporation brought
suit again to recover money due
through a judgment entered against
Alpert for a previous case.
Two years ago. Alpert, driving an
automobile on Park street, steered to
one side to avoid striking a bicyclist,
lost control of his machine and
crashed through a large plate glass
window in a building belonging to the
corporation. The corporation brought
suit to recover the damage and the
case was heard in city court and an
attempt to bring it to the court of
common pleas was blocked, judgment
being finally ;entered for the corpora
ton to recover $41.58. According to
papers in the case, shown yesterday,
the judgment has never been paid by
Alpert Judge s. Russell Mink ap-
peared for the plaintiff, and Louis H.
Katz, Of Hartford, for the defense.

FRACTIONAL LOSS
ON RAILS STOCK
Pullman Falls Three Points and
General Electric Falls Some

Wall Street.-Indications that the
government intends to take over the
railroads for the duration of the war
were without material effect on shares
in that group at the dull opening of
today's stock market. Reactions
among rails were mostly fractional,
with mere and there a loss of point.
Equipments, speciaities and utilities
were under further pressure, Pullman
falling points and General Electric
IL, with point each for American
Tobacco and Peoples Gas. Foreign
bonds continued to weaken, but Lib
erty issues were steady.
The early steadiness Of rails proved
of short duration, moderate offerings
later causing declines of ! to 2 points
in the active issues, while Louisville
and Nashville fell points and Lack
awanna 1. Pullman increased its loss
to 6 points, tobaccos yielded to
II IA points, oils and specialties 1 to
8. Foreign bonds reflected further
liquidation, the French issues making
new low quotations. Liberty As sold
at 1926 to 9736 and the 1-2's at
9S.48 to 1852.
Standard rails led the further
shrinkage of quoted values in the
early afternoon on moderate iquida-
ton. Specialties were again affected,
American Tobacco showing an ex-
treme loss of 10 points and Sears Roe
buck six points.
Trading became very active in the
final hour when the entire list re-
corded lowest prices. The closing was
weak. Liberty AS sold at 1926 to
$3.50 and the 1-2's at 9S.4S to 1882.
Sales approximated 100000 shares.

FILIBUSTERERS


AMSTERDAM, March 7.-Sen-

lauded by the German press
comments as representative of
1.-The best spirit in America" ac-
cording to dispatches received
here today summarizing German
editorial views on the senate

AS a whole, the German press
regards the filibustering sena-

Wilson's unreasoning ambition"
and in voicing the sober senti-
ment of the American people
who do not propose to join the
insanity of war;"
Bitter comment on President
Wilson's inaugural address was
made by the Lokal Anzeiger,
which dubbed the president as a
"meaglomaniac," and declared
his speech "desecrated" the ma
tional capitol.
