State. When they go upon the street or highway or other proper places the law and it's agents say that they shall be protected and you feel safe be- cause you know it. Your Country takes care of the un- fortunate. If one of your family be- comes insane the State provides an ln- stitution for his care. If one of your relatives becomes poor and you cannot care for him, the State does it for you. Your Country educates you. If you wish to use them your Country pro- vides schools from public funds. If you wish to be educated in private or church schools, the State charters or safeguards then1
 Your Country makes civilization possible-by building or chartering roads for men to travel on and ~to transport goods over; by establishing courts of justice; by chartering en- dowed colleges; libraries and art mu- seums; by establishing ambassador- ships and consulates entering into treaties and endeavoring to live on plane of friendship with every nation that is willing to be friendly with 1t. Ths is what civilization means.
 Young man, you can't be citizen of this country and Pro-German' at the same time when your country is at war with Germany. It isn't Germany that has been protecting you in your rights. Germany hasn't been doing all these things for you. It is your own nation-America! If you accept this protection from the United States, and then give your heart to some other country YOU are a cheat and an in- grate Those who ride in the boat must pull an oar or jump out If you didn't like the boat you didn't have to get into 1t.
 "The same principle applies to Eng land-haters'. England France and the other allies are all trying to weather the storm. The craft have been lashed together. If you didn't intend to sub- nit to majority rule of the crew under the command of duly elected officers, you should never have put to sea on the old U. s. A. There Is nothing hne- spun or philosophical about this. It Is just everyday honesty ordinary decen- cy, and plain commonsense.
 Your Country drafts you because it has . legal and moral right to. You have no legal or moral right to hang back or sulk or dodge. You can't talk back to Uncle Sam at this stage of the game A nation at war Is not a debating club. It is grim business an, organized people fghing for its life The rules are laid down, the gong has rung play is called the teams are on the field; play your part like sportsman and thoroughbred as well as an American!"

"WHY DO WE RAISE OUR ARMY BY SEIFCTIVE CONSCRIPTTON?" ?"

HI
 BY SELECTIVE CONSCRIPTTON?
 A Statement to the Young Men of Connecticut, by George B. Chandler, Chairman of the Publicity Committee Connecticut State Council of Defense.
 George B. Chandler of Rocky Hill, who is chairman of the Connecticut State Council of Defense Publicity Committee, has made the following statement to the young men of Con- nec1icut. answering the question "Why do we raise our army by selective conscription?"\ as one of the series of "Made-in- War Inter- views being made public by, the Council through the newspapers. MT. Chandler's statement to the young men of Connecticut follows:
 Young man your Country has laid it's heavy hand upon you and bade you go out and fight. Why is it that you a member of free people, can thus be drafted into war without your will or consent? For the same reason that property of free people is drafted for taxes-because 1t is necessary for national existence. Property is draft ed every year; manhood may not be drafted more than once in a hundred years; but the principle involved in the two processes is exactly the same.
 "A nation cannot live without taxes. It has to have funds to carry on it's affairs. Neither can @ nation live-in the present state of the world at least7,,without fighting. It cannot stay at one side mind its own business and be let alone. Belgium tried 1t and she has been assassinated. For two years and a half the United States tried it and submitted to series of no f1rst-class power has endured in modern history. The time comes when a nation must fight or perish.
 Do you owe anything to your Coun- try that gives it a moral right to or der you into battle? Let us see.
 Your Country protects your life. If you are assaulted on the street a policeman comes to your rescue. If you are attacked on the high seas by a submarine while going on your own business where you have a right to go, your Country goes to war for you.
 Your Country protects your prop erty. If robber breaks into your home the forces of the state seek to locate him and punish him. If fire breaks out in your city, the fire de- partment ccmes to your aid If man tries to deprive you of what you have earned or saved the courts of your country are open to you.
 Your Corhtry protects your fam lily. When you are at your bench or desk, your mother wife sister or chill dren are being watched over by the

cure tobacco here except French tobacco and I can't very we'll use that. Please send me quite good bit of good American tobacco and send it as soon as possible. Tobac- co here is as precious as fine diamond
 We are quartered in a nice little town here. It is very quiet for there are no shows, or shops or even pool rooms. The only people here are old men and women and children and they spend their time tilling the soil and they live on their own crops.
 We have plenty of liberty. Yet the military discipline is strict and I believe that it should be for if it were not the Marines might do some damage for they like every one else need to be controlled.

Frank Carbonic appeared in police court today in a continued case on the charge of non-support His wife testified that they had been married live months.

FE||NGOLD. WRITES
 FROM FRENCH CAMP
Tells of Wonderful Training American Marines Will Secure

Joseph Feingold, one of the very few New Britain boys who are with the expeditionary force of General Pershing in France, has written to his mother a letter, which Is almost per feet in it's simplicity and very admir- able in its expression of the writer's optimism. The only concern of the New Britain young man in France is that his mother might worry about him. There is no touch of egoism in the letter although MT. Feingold has plenty to feel highly proud of since he is a member of the first American force which has been transported to F'rance-the vanguard of countless thousands to follow.
 The epistle of MT. Feingold has 1 reached it's destination only after passing through the hands of two cen- , sors. No hint is given of the place from which the letter has been sent. It has taken the letter little over three weeks to reach New Britain.
 Mr. Feingold is the son of MT. and Mrs. David F'eingold of 10 Lafayette street This is MT. Feingold's second enlistment He served three years ago in Costa Rica and Cuba with the United States Marines. According to the words of Mrs. Feingold Joe is a born fighter"
 The letter which rather shows the character and feelings of the writer than any important facts Or observa- tions follows:

GASOLINE BOAT BLOWS UP.

New York, Aug. 23.-One man was perhaps mortally burned when a launch used in testing torpedoes at the E. w. Bliss torpedo testing sta tion at Sag Harbor, l.. l., blew up yesterday afternoon. The thirty-foot boat, after some tests in Gardiner's Bay had moored with the engine still running and the crew had left the boat. John Cosgrove was left to watch the engine. Suddenly the boat became mass of flames and the tank of gasoline exploded. The local fire department put out the blaze after the craft had been considerably dam aged. Cosgrove was rushed to the Southampton hospital. An armed guard of the plant, on the pier was thrown into the water by the ex- plosion.
