CREEKS ARDENT PATRIOTS
Register to a Man-One, Over the Limit, Insists on Being Taken In.

Greek residents here again have demonstrated that they are among the most ardently patriotic of the aliens who come to these shores. They reg istered to a man Tuesday, of the ages required, and men who were over 31 came and asked to be regis tered, that they might be ready for the call to bear arms for Uncle Sam
 One man of B. really insisted on being taken into the registration and 1t was only with difficulty that he was made to appreciate that he could not be legally accommodated.
 'I have been here II years" he said to a registrar and pointing to a big flag of the United States hanging in the hall, I've earned 8, good living under that flag. I am here now ready to fight for all 1t stands for and I want you to give me the chance. I would be bad man if I did not will ingly offer myself at this time"
 Though the registrar was firm in holding him off from registering, the applicant insisted that the rule on age limit be broken and he taken in. He was advised to seek service in the ma tional guard, which he says he will do.

 Sober, Prompt Manhood. If there be or have been critics of conscription in Danielson, they must take their hats off to the young men who went to the registration post in this town and signed up as real men should sign. There were 3S5 men to register in Danielson and to their ev- erlasting credit it may be set down that there was not an intoxicated man among them, nor did any of them show signs of having been drinking. They were doing their patriotic duty in the full celarness of their minds, buoyed with the spirit that makes a nation great and in not the slightest degree depending on Dutch courage" DanieIson may we'll be allowed to boast of it's men who registered. They're here. ready for the show down.

LOYAL TO AMERICA
Majority of Danieison Greeks Care LttIe for VenizeIos-HaVe No SymP- athy With Germany.

Peter SenapouIons proprietor of the Olympia. Candy Kitchen, writes The Bulletin:
 I notice correspondence has been ssnt to The Norwich Bulletin from Greeks of this town who support Ve- lrtizelos, the revolutionary leader of Greece, stating that more than a hun dred Greeks who are poor working men are sympathizers on the German side That is absolutely untrue. The Greeks are not interested in the poli- tics of Greece now that President Will son has declared war on Germany. The Greeks were the first to pledge their loyalty to the United States and I want to say plainly that the at tempted revolution headed by Venize- los utterly failed, and today is main tained solely by foreign bayoneIty against the will of the Greek people. The supporters of Venizelos see that the revolutionary government was not recognized by President Wilson.
 To my knowledge there Is not a Greek man or woman, here or in Greece who prays for q German vic tory, and not more than eight or ten supporters of Venizelos in Danielson. out of a hundred and fifty Greek residents. The rest are loyal to their mother country and to their adopted Glorious Republic.
