Hail, the Home Defence League!

1t was fitting that the police parade this
year, aside from the honor regiment,
should consist of the Home Defence
Leaguers. These citizen soldiers deserve
the honors they received They have en-
listed for trying and difficult service, with
cut the glory and eXhilaration Of military
action. Theirs is to he the task of pa
trolling streets, Of regulating traffic at
the worst OF helping the regular police to
break up riots. They will have little to
reward them but the consciousness Of duty
we'll done-but they may take to them
selves the consolation that it was an i'm
portant duty and that the great body of
the citizens thoroughly appreciate the
spirit in which these volunteers have en-
gagged in it.
Police Commissioner Woods and the
executives of his department are to be
congratulated on the chewing the League
members made. 1t was due to the Com
missioner's initiative that this corps was
formed and so ably trained for any emer-
Cency. Whoever else may have been
,hortsighted, whatever other branch of
government may have neglected to heed
the obvious warning to prepare for
trouble, the Police Commissioner mas not
been guilty Of any shortcomings. With
It's regular police in better condition than
ever before. and this splendid supplement
tary force ready to back them up, this
city may well feel that all possible pre-
cautions have been taken against traitors
and lawless clements.

he has carried physical death. but he has
done more; he has carried spiritual death
to all that is essential in our own demo
cratic faith, which derives from that OF
Britain and France.
This wal in Europe Is going on until the
German idea is crushed or cOnquers. The
world cannot now exist half civilized and
half German. Only one of two concep-
tions Of life, Of humanity. can subsist. One
Of the conceptions was written in the Lusl-
tania Massacre, written clear beyond all
mistaking. 1t is this writing that we
should study on this anniversary; 1t Is this
fact that we should grasp to-day, not IN
anger, not in any spirit which clamors for
vengeance. but as the citizens Of a nation
which has inherited noble ideals and gal
liant traditions. which has inherited liberty
and light from those who died to serve
them and now stands face to face with that
which seeks to extingush both through
out the world

The Blackbirds

/ heard the Poor Old Woman say:
AT break Of day the fowlers came
And took my blackbirds from their songs
Who loved me well thro' blame and shame
40 more from lovely distances
Their songs shall bless me mile By miie'
Nor from white Ashbournc call me down
To wear my crown another while.
"With Bonded flowers the angels mark
For the skylark the place they lie;
From there its little family
Shall dip their wings first in the sky.
And when the first surprise OF flight
Sweet song excite, from the far dawn.
Shall there come backbirds loud with love
Sweet echoes OF the singers gone.
"Bu, in the lonely hush Of eve.
Weeping grievc the silent bills
heard the Poor Old Woman say
In Derry Of the little hills.

British Public Opinion
Bu Arthur Gleason

Government is no longer an affair OF historic
tradition II is very troublesome matter of
digging out the facts and applying them to
brand new and rapidly changing conditions.
1t requires qualities of swift decision and
execution. Industrial working class England
takes over the government. assumes control
of life. and side by side with radical Scotland
and Wales and Australia and New Zealand
and Canada creates the new state. With the
passing of Little England the Literary" Eng
lishman whom VIC have known passes, the
courtly and yet simple nobleman, the charm
ing litteratcur, the scholar and gentleman"
and there comes in his stead a democratic
person. open to ideas, willing to learn and
very willing to work out in partnership the
problems Of democratic control
There are clever men who are attempting
to capture this newer England and to manip-
ulatc its public opinion. They discern Ger
tain of the creative elements in the change
organization, efficiency, business methods,
government by experts. Two such men are
Horatio Bottomey and Lord Northclife.
Through John Bull" THE Times" "The
Daily Mail" and other publications they
WELD a wide influence. Essentially. they seem
to me bad leaders, because they don't believe
in the best qualities Of the masses whom
they are leading. They see that average hu-
man nature is easily fattered, is loaded TO
the gunwale with prejudces, and that it can
be manipulated by phrases promising action.
BY making use Of the new forces of democ-
racy, such men as the modern popular jour
nalists may have it in their power little TO
misdirect them. This failure of sane public
opinion to register itself is almost inevitable
in a society where the millionaire proprietor
ia able to conduct chain of newspapers
which reflect his own mind and which mis-
represent his readers in certain matters by
giving them what they want in the general
news of the world, in pictures and admirable
special articles, and in hammering through
a programme of reconstruction, much of
which is sound and responsive to the needs
of the community. Our own problem of how
to have free press and yet eliminate Mr..
Hearst ought to give US sympathy with the
English predicament.

Bad Opinion

! am trying to untangle what seems to me
the silent and real opinion of the nation
from the voices that fill the air. Any one
would be singularly ineDt who pretended to
interpret with any finality the public opinion
of a people What give is merely the prod
uct of contacts with few thousand British.
have lived the last three years with them,
in their lines at Ypres, their anti-aircraft
station at Newport, their naval reserve post
at La Panne. | have visited their London
clubs. lunched and dined at many restau-
rants, travelled constantly | have met Off
Gals and clerks of the Home Office, Foreign
Office, Admiralty. War Office, Ministry of
Munitions. I have been entertaned by men,
bers Of the Cabinet, and have talked with
officers and "Tommes" as | served in the
British Red Cross. | worked in a lawyers
Office in Chancery Lane. have met labor
leaders, socialists and the leaders of the
various divisions of the womans movement,
and have lined up with old age pensioners.
The experience is all necessarily incomplete
and superficial IL would be the labor of a
lifetime TO gauge public opinion. This is Of
fered merely as what have seen and heard.
II is collection Of little fragments Of pub
lie opinion. And this is what find.
The stuff talked in certain London centres
is misleading and mischievous, and sometimes
wilfully malicious. II is very much like the
coarse abuse Of Middle Western personalities
INDUCED in by New York clubs and news
papers. 1t is the bitter cry of persons who
have lost their influence. There are little
groups of elderly men and women in London
who inAame themselves with hate of the
German people. They speak Of them as a
nation Of beasts, outside the human race.
This is very unrepresentative Of the real
English public opinion. which has made the
clear distinction in its mind between the
doped, duped German people and the band Of
predatory assassins who are in control of
them.
Again, on Ireland, | can quote an English
officer, whom ! heard say on his return from
Dublin:

Virgin Islands of the United States
IRON Inc Providence JoarnaD

An announcement by the Postofhee De-
partment shows that the government has
adopted for the time being the name Virgin
Islands of the United States" for the former
Danish West Indies. This is the answer 70
inquiries from business houses respecting
the proper address for mail Congress msy
act on the question of name at later con,
venience. Many suggestions were ohereo
when the legislation for taking over the ISL
ands was being considered, but none OF then
had much to recommend il. Virgin lslsnas

He shall not hear the bittern cry

Above the wailing OF tho rain.
Nor shall he know when loud March blows
Thro' slanting SHOWS his fanfare shrill.
Blowing 10 flame the golden cup

But when the Dark Cow leaves the moor
And pastures poor, with greedy weeds
Perhaps he'll hear her low at morn
Lifting her horn in pleasant mcads.

Non Tall Auxilio

Mediums are said TO be doing a good busiuessl
From The Westminster Go-cttcl
Have we not earned our rest?' On, hear
them plead
Whom Death has drawn across the dividing
line.
You should have kept their memory as a
shrine,
holy place where he who runs might read
The lovely record Of noble deed;
Not sought, with restless craving for a sign,
By vulgar aid to break the peace divine
Which gathers round the kingdom of the
freed
Were there indeed no barrier that could save
Their spirits from the importantly
Which welcomes childish prattling as a proof
The dead will talk with US, nor hold aloof,
Far better were the silence of the grave
Than life entanged in futilty. II. p.

America has heard the voice of Drake.

Governor Addressed Conference.

Governor Holcomb addressed the conference after the roll of cities had been called. Briefly, he spoke of the conditions under which this country has lived for the past two years. He said there had been much said about preparedness Tt has been hot air." he declared. -But now we are face to face with a condition which makes us dread for the future. We hope there will be no war; we hope that Con necticut will not be called upon. Cir cumStances and conditions are such that Connecticut must take an inven- tory and see what it has in material resources and men to respond to a call to duty. Connecticut must do it's duty when that call comes"
 Connecticut WiII Furnish Munitions.
 The governor said that probably Connecticut would be called upon to furnish great part of the munitions of war, to man it's great factories, and which will be needed to supply a fighting force. Its factories would be the points of attack from enemies. If we have an enemy to fight"
 +We'n have the inventory" said the governor, and we'll have the honor of being the first state to find out what resources we have"
 A Patriotic Duty.
 Governor Holcomb referred to ur- gency of conditions which led him to address the legislature in joint con- vention to obtain authority for the census. He said he did not claim the honor of organizing the movement. He simply secured the power to push it along. The nineteen cities, he said, have the bulk of population. He had no doubt each would respond with the census complete in every detail. He told of the~ headquarters organization already under way, in which the en- tire service is voluntary. As patri- otic duty he believed citizens every where will offer their services and material to assist in the work
 A General Plan Formulated.
 Charles A. Goodwin of the headquar- ters force explained how in two days they have formulated a general plan for taking the census and then tabu- iaung the facts The headquarters work after the lisst of males have been made.
 Age Limit Dropped to 16 Years.
 The age figure has been dropped to Is years instead of IS because in event of a long period of state of war lads of 16 would then come into the mili- tary classes for training.
 Should Be canvassed in Ten Days.
 He thought that in ten days the en- tire state ought to be canvassed and the results in the governors hands. In three weeks at the outside the gover- nor ought to be able to know how many aliens, how many telegraphers, carpenters. plumbers, automobile driv- CTS. etc, are in Connecticut, and how many of these can be called out at once for service. if their services should be needed. No announcement of the re- euft of the census will be made
 MT. Goodwin said that man-power would be the first sphase of the can vass. Small towns have an easier task than the cities and their returns may be expected quickly.

CENSUS ENUMERAToRS To be Appointed by Seieetman Gilbert to Take Military Enrolment.

First Selectman John A. Gilbert said Friday that he would begin to- day making the appointments of cen sus enumerators who are to visit the men of Kilingly over IS years of age and secure their declarations as to willingness to accept military service In accordance with the plac an nounced by Governor M. H. Holcomb this week
 MT. Gilbert has in mind the ap- pointment of from 39 to 35 enumera- tors, selected from all sections of the town. That it may be difficult to get this number of men to accept an ap- po1ntment. MT. Gilbert thinks may be difficult. for no compensation can be offered for the work
 B1t, on the other hand, he points out, what the governor has asked for Is in the line of patriotic duty and 1t is possible that appointments will De readily accepted by many who will take that proper view of it. The time is short for making the appointments, for list of the men named must be in tn ehands of the state authorities at Hartford by Monday night.
 With as many enumerators as MT. Gilbert desires the work would not be particularly difficult for anyone, for the voting lists show only about ,see names There are others. of course to be interviewed in this case in ad- dition to the men registered as yot- CTS, but if those asked to heID are responsive the enumeration can be quickly completed.
 Census takers will be appointed for DayVllle, Attawaugan, Balleuville W1lliamsville. ElmVille, Killingly Cen ter, East and South Killingly. Dan ielsen and parts Of these places as well as the agricultural districts of the town.
Norwich bulletin., 1917-02-10

Robert P. Cutler, in charge of head quarters, explained to the conference
 just how Hartford is taking it's census Starting with the tax lists, card in dex of males is being made, to which are added lists from factories, institu- tions and establishments and the du- pIications in names are being eliminat- ed. Next will come house to house canvass by several hundred volun- teers. Scores of typists are at work on the card indices, and as soon as Governors Island headquarters gets the list of questions over the second canvass will be undertaken. One of the chief items was use of the list from the postoffice, which has the
 name of practically every person re- ceiving mail.
 Mayors Hagarty of Hartford. Camp ner of New Haven, Dunn of Williman- tic, Wilson of Bridgeport, Scully of Waterbury, were among those who questioned Mr. Butler as to various
 features of the Hartford plan.
 Every Man Should Do His Part.
 Rev. I. H. Bergh, chaplain of the
 First infantry, whe saw Mexican bor-
 der service, spoke, pointing out that
 it was undemocratic for only a few
 mne to do service for their country.
 He declared that all men who have
 love for the United States should be
Norwich bulletin., 1917-02-10

willing to do their part when the coun- try needs them.
 Common Plane of Patriotism.
 Governor Holcomb, before dismissing the conference, said 1t was great oc- casion when men can rise above po- Htical questions, creeds and opinions to stand on a common plane of patri- otism. Connecticut has always done it's part when the country had need of it. God grant that we shall not have war;" said the governor, but if war must come, let Connecticut be ready"
 List of Women.
 A. L. Maddock of Hartford said that a publicity bureau would aid city and town organizations and the governor added that the Woman's Suffrage or ganization and the Equal Franchise league of New Haven had pledged It's support even to preparing a list of women whose services would be avail able for Red Cross work, nurses, cooks and anything else in which a woman can play her part. He said that the women were anxious that the state should know that they were as anxious as the men to share the burdens
 As the conference ended the gOVeEnor said to the mayors: Go back home; do not lose a minute: pull off your coats and get to work"
