WISCONSIN, MEN ASK EXPULSION
 OF L'f0lLETTE
League of Municipalities Adopts Resolution
 After Speech.

Racine, Mis-, Sept. 27.--The league of Wisconsin municipalities, at its session today, adopted resolution at the close of Col Theodore Roose- velt's denunciation of Senator Rober! M. LaFollctte, demanding that the United States senate expel the Wis consin senator from that body
 "The time has come" declared Colo nel Roosevelt, when we should in sist that any man in this country who national ism except straight out una dulterated Americanism is a foe to America and should be bundled straight out of the country to any other country that is willing to re- ceive him. There isn't room any longer for 50-5O allegiance"
 Describing the "Hun within our gates" as the one from whom we have the most fear for he is the tool and ally of the Hun without" Colonel Roosevelt asserted:
 "Of these Huns within our gates those who do most mischief are the men who hold office and the men who edit newspapers. The neo-ccpper- heads stand towards the loyal Ameri- cans exactly as the old copperheads over half a century ago, stood toward Abraham Lincoln.
 "Men like Senators LaFo]lette and Stone, and Congressman McLemore occupy substantially the same posi- tion which Vallandingham occupied in 1863. They denounce this war as Vallandingham aided the cause of se- cession. They use the same high sounding words that Vallandingham used. They demand peace as he de manded it. They now slur over or defend the hideous iniquity of Ger many as he in his day slurred over or defended the iniquity of slavery. They try to excite class hatred exactly as Vallandingham and his fellows rous- ed the New York mob against the draft.
 Abraham Lincoln sent Vallanding- ham into the hostile lines. l wish that we could send to Germany the neo- copperheads who have taken the lead in directly or indirectly preaching dis lOydlIV IO Oul COuACAy Se~N'N "AA-~S VI war and giving aid and comfort in this crisis to the public enemy
 Asserting that this country should not permit, during the war, any paper to be printed in German. Colonel Roosevelt added that "there are plenty of papers printed in English whose ut terances are at least as bad as those of the worst German American pa pers.
 "our government" he said, mas been recreant in not dealing With all necessary severity with the strongest and most influential of these papers"
 Quoting a German-American news naper as asserting that "the problem of the German press is to save Ger, ,nanism in the United States, Colonel Roosevelt said:
 "This shows that the man making it and the men defending it are nor Americans and have no business lons CT to remain in America. They are Germans, they are aliens here ana nerilously near traitors. The tune has come to make short shrlft ot such men,"

COAST ARTILLERY
 BAND LOSES IS MEMBERS BY FLAW
Men With Dependents Dis charged While Three Re-
 main On Waivers

Iieut.-Col. V. M. King, of the Coast Artillery corps of Connecticut, is re- cruiting to its full strength of 27 mu- sicians g. leader and two cooks, the Coast Artillery band of this city, the ranks of which were sadly depleted by the discharge of 16 men having de- pendent relatives. It is hoped to have all of the band members enlisted so that the organization may follow the Second, Fourth and Eleventh Coast Artillery companies of this city into federal service next week.
 In addition to the 1S men who have been discharged, three other mem bers of the band have dependents, but waivers to claims for separation al lowances were signed by their wives or other relatives and the men will continue with the band. Col. King doesn't anticipate any difficulty in getting desirable: musicians to fill the | places of those who are involuntar1ly forced from service by the require meth that none with dependents shall
 be accepted.
 1 The uniforms for the men are fur
 nished by the government and here ,tofore the instruments have been fur
 nished by the band members them
 selves. When called into federal ser
 vice, however, these will be furnished
 by the government.

TIME IS GERMANY'S FOE

Grant the Allies time, and Germany is done for. Time will defeat or out wit the submarines; it will reorganize the fighting strength of Russia; it will bring the American millions into the field; it will produce dissensions among Germanys allies and eventual ly lead to apostasies. And it is be- Allies will have the time they need Russia might have been brought to terms in the late days of the autocra- cy or the early days of the republic, but hardly now. A German drive at the heart of Russia would only harden the Russian spirit. It was possible, during the spring months, that the submarine campaign would shake the resolution of the Allies But already the submarine has been assimilated to the ordinary sea risks. It represent merely a new percentage of wastage and tare, to be compensated by the increased efforts of which the Allied productive mechanism is quite cap able. There is no longer any fear anywhere that England can be starv- ed. Nor is there a belief that subma. rine operations will seriously interfere with the transport of American troops to France. If one of Pershing's troop ships had been lost the Germans might take heart. They all arrived in safety, thousands more will get through the blockade.-The New Republic.

 For Call July %

With the New York state militia getting ready for movements toward mobilization and concentration camps, the Connecticut state militia is mark ing time preparatory to the date of mobilization set for July 25.
 Federalized companies with the ex- ception of the field batteries are busy in drills, with details busy on the preparation of camp and baggage equipment. t
 It is the belief among officers in this city that the commands not al- ready federalized will be taken first to mobilization camps where the men will be thoroughly examined.
 The Fourth Company Coast Artil- lery which has already been federal ized was passed under the guidance of liberalization officer sent to Bridge port. The First Ambulance Company, Sanitary Detachment and the Elev- aenth Company c.

Seven Year old, In
 Pond Up to Armpits, } Says He Was Fishing

Oscar Bartram, seven years old, of River street, didn't "cry out of the depths''-- of Berkshire pond mud that covered him to his armpits yesterday Abut he was none the less discovered by Mrs. Mabel Goldman, of the Con- necticut Humane society and when she succeeded in persuading him to come ashore he was taken to Probate Judge Miller's office and committed -to the Fairfield County Home in Nor walk.
 Oscar is one of three children, of Mrs. Dayton o. Bartran. a widow of +192 River street. Two other children have. previously been taken care of by authorities, because the mothers small earnings and little time at homo do not permit her to give them the motherly attention the youngsters re- quire. Oscar reached the probate office in a sad state, mud and water dripping from his waist and trousers, the only garments he wore. He ex- plained that he had been "fshin' /" in the pond when Mrs. Goldman observed him.
