POLISH LEGION ...
CHIEF RELEASED

London, Aug. 11.-An Exchange
Telegraph company dispatch from
Amsterdam announces that General
Tilsudski of the Polish legion will be
released from detention by the Ger.
man authorities in Poland. His re-
lease is conditional on his going to
Switzerland and remaining there un'
til the war ends.
A Copenhagen dispatch says Gen.
eral Tilsudski, organizer and former
commander Of the Polish legion, had
been arrested by the German authori.
ties while attempting to leave Poland
on a false passport. His attempted
flight arose from the differences, the
dispatch adds, between the Poles, who
wished to form an Independent Polish
army, and the German authorities,
who insisted that the Polish forces
must be under German control.

WAR AND RELIGION.
Discussed at Meeting of Ministers
 Institute at Worcester Yesterday.

Worcester, Oct. 17-Meetings of the Ministers Institute and Women's Ma tional Missionary association today preceded the opening session tonight of the Universalist general convention here. Rev. Dr. Harry w. Reed of Watertown, N. Y. addressed the in- stitute on "religion in a worlu at war"
 "The war;" said Dr. Reed, "has forced the issue of religion. From all that we can understand both of the past and the present we need to en- tertain no fears for religion. Was Is making religion more necessary. Ut is the one fundamental reality upon which men are thrown in their stress and need.
 "The war has forced the issue of brotherhood. It shows how closely the people of the whole world are bound together, and how urgent it is that all nations and men shall recognize their nter-dependence."
 Speaking before the Missionary as- sociation, the president, Mrs Minnie J. Ayers, of Woonsocket. R. r., said:
 ''We meet in the midst of a terrible war at a time when the needs of the world are so serious that every heart must be stirred and selfshness on the part of individuals, churches or na- tons must be treated with contempt"

Papers Ask "Quitsr'

Zurich, Oct 17.-That Great Brit aims decision to bomb German cities and towns in reprisal for air raids on London and other English cities and towns is having a disheartening ef- feet in southern Germany is indicated by the Muenchener Post, which says that air attacks on open towns have proved quite apart from moral esti mates, that this mode of warfare will be the means of stiffening, rather than breaking the determination of the people. The newspaper says this applies to all the belligerents and that it would be a matter for re- joining if all of them would agree mo longer to make this fearful world catastrophe still more horrible through the slaughter of defenseless persons.

NEW BRITAIN GIRL
 ON WAY TO PRISON
Miss Briere Is Now Enroute to Jefferson City for
 Five Years

Hartford, Oct. 17.-A journey with a sad purpose was begun today by Deputy United States Marshal Timo- thy B. Hawley of this city, Mrs. M. T. BenOit of New Haven and Miss Clara Briere of New Britain, who are to travel half way across the continent to lodge Miss Briere in the Missouri penitentiary at Jefferson City, where she was sentenced about three weeks ago for a term of five years for em- bezzlement from the New Britain National bank.
 Practically a nervous wreck Miss Briere appeared in the United States district court at New Haven, Septem- Der 25 and pleaded guilty to embezzle- ment from the bank. The lightest punishment that Judge Thomas could mete out to her under the law was five years in prison. Owing to her mental condition and frail health Judge Thom- as considerably sent her to Jefferson City instead of Atlanta where most federal prisoners from this state are taken. A female guard as well a male deputy marshal must accompany Miss Briere.

COAL STRIKE SITUATION
 MORE SERIOUS THAN EVE1
LIBERTY LOAN HERE
 GOES UP $300,O00
Subscriptions or Promises to That Amount Received
 in Few Hours

Within 24/hours, New Britain has jumped approximately $3O0,000 in its dash toward the Liberty Loan goal of $1,963,000. At a meeting of bank CTS, manufacturers and other inter ested parties last night subscriptions or pledges amounting to $292,O00 were received bringing the total thus far at hand or in sight up to $1,550,- 900. Of the amount reported last night $270,00O was in straight pledges. The city will reach its minimum al- lotment when about $400,o00 more is subscribed.
 At the meeting last night, the bank CTS discussed the loan with prominent citizens of Swedish and Italian birth or descent and committees will be ap- pointed to work among these nation alities and spur them on to greater efforts. President A. J. Sloper of the New Britain National bank will meet committee of Italians this evening and a committee of Swedes tomorrow evening. A big mass meeting which will be attended by all the workers, including women, will be held at the Y. M. c. A. Friday evening.
 Notices have been sent to all the clergymen in the city requesting them to speak on the Liberty Loan next Sunday, which has been designated as Liberty Loan Sunday by Governor Holcomb.
 Bankers now feel that the loan will be a success as far as New Britain is concerned. Their doubts are being dispelled and they are now confident that the Hardware City will respond to the call of duty. Subscriptions are being received by the New Brit ain Trust company, New Britain Ma tional bank, Commercial Trust com- pany, Savings Bank of New Britain and Burritt Savings bank.
 Treasurer John c. Loomis of the Commercial Trust company yesterday mailed letters to all persons in the Christmas club conducted by the bank, with the urgent request to invest the money received from their savings in Liberty Bonds. It is expected by MT. Loomis that this plan will be found popular with those that have benefited by the Christmas club. It is also. thought that the National bank with which the Christmas club first originated in this city, may also take action along sim liar lines to the Commercial Trust company.
 Members of the Woman's club of this city yesterday invested $1,000 in Liberty Bonds. This action is per- haps the quickest response to the ap- peal on record in New Britain and followed talks which were given at the meeting yesterday afternoon by MT. Sloper and F. G. Vibberts, the latter of the New Britain Trust com pany.
 The speakers urged that a com mittee be appointed consisting off all organizations in the city for the pur- pose of soliciting subscriptions for the loan. Mrs. George W. Traut will ap- point the committee within the next few days and the women's part in the campaign will commence at once.
