Another Memorial Day has been oh.

We often hear the expression that
people who look for trouble usually
find it. The surest route to trouble a

registration or aiding or encouraging
others to avoid it will bring anyone
into the grip of the federal law, and
the consequences will not be at all
pleasant.

sponse they gave to the recent Mem- bershtp campaign, the results of which may be read below.
 undoubtedly a very much larger number of contributing and life meirl- bers would have been secured had they been sought, but this did not seem wise in view of the nearness of the war fund campaign in which much larger sums of money than such memberships called for had to ( bH secured.
 Conversely. this explains why the present finance committee. handling the war fund collection, has not made popular appeal to tho entire city as has been done in most other places. The response to the dollar member ship campaign was so generous that 1t seemed unwise to make . popular appeal.

GUlGLEY AND COOK
 URGE RECRUITING
Mayor and Minister Ask Young
 ! Men to Join Militia

Two stirring addresses in the in- terests of recruiting for tho local mili- ttary companies who are shy of the re- quired number for war service, were delivered in Fox's theater last even ing by Mayor George A. Quigley and Rev. Warren F. Cook. pastor of Trim ity Methodist church. Eloquent in- deed were the words of the speakers and the warning which they set forth regarding the conditions which con- front our country at present because of the apparent apathy caused by lack of interest on the part of young men of this city. Manager Irving McDon- aid had tho theater trimmed with na- tional colors and in the front seats were seated the members of the Home Guard. who turned out en masse Manager Mcdonald in well-chosen words reviewed conditions which made the holding of the meeting imperative. The speaker exhorted the aid of all citizens. fathers, mothers, sisters and sweethearts to get the young men of military age to join the local com panies. Mayor Quigley was then pre- scented to the audience.
 During his time In ofilce, the mayor said, he has appeared before tho citi- sons of the city urging them to make various sacrifces, but the appeal which he was to put forth at this oc- casion was one of more seriousness than heretofore. It whs an appeal that would touch the hearts of par ents and relatives of the young men of the city. but 1t was also one that should be mot with the right spirit, for at this critical time, with tho nation calling on her young men to go forth and give his share toward tho preser- vation of liberty and the furtherancs of humanity, the point had arrived when no sacrifice should be considered too great.
 Reading from letter from Colonel Goodman of the First Connecticut Regiment. 1t was shown where Cos. E and were in need of 105 men.

In conclusion. Mayor Quigley said that he wanted to see the local com panies enrolled to full war strength. and when the American troops arrive in France there will be . full regiment from this state carrying the American flag, and aspiring to return the fa- vors of the French toward this nation in the days of the Revolutionary war.
 "lAction Not Talk,'' Rev. Cook.
 Rev. Warren F. Cook, was the fnal marks tended to injecA plenty of en- thusiasm into the gathering, and sey- eral times during his talk spontanaouSs applause broke through the theaSSr. At the outset of his remarks Mr.scOok asked his auditors to imagine the re4i suits if Germany Is able to starve out England and France in this war. and thereby be enabled to get her ships and troops out in the open sea, w4ich would mean the ultimate arrival at our shores and an invasion of our homes. Conditions similar to that Of Belgium will then exist, with the spoi- soning of wells, the devastation of homes, the poisoning of candy to give to little children, the ravaging of our women, and numerous other atroci- ties. which the Germans have carried on during the three years of warfare. This, the speaker said. is the condi- tion which will exist here, and in the event of victory for Germany, life will be . "hell on earth." The time has arrived when oratory should be caats aside and action substituted. Our allies who have so valiantly carried on this war for freedom are in need of aid and in entering into the con- fiict, America is not fighting for her own interests alone. She is not fight ing with hopes of indemnity, but for freedom and liberty and the only way to attain this is by lending every ounce of physical and financial assistes ance. He urged that those eligible for service join the local military cosas panies at once, and not wait to be- drafted.

 ''I sometimes wonder if we of New Britain realize what this war means. We are at war with q nation that has no respect for the laws of nations. You mothers and you sisters. want to tell you that if you do not allow your sons and brothers to go abroad and fight Germany on French soil, will see them lighting Germany right at our own doors here in Connecticut" Mayor Quigley warned his auditors. Continuing, he said that within . few months. member of tho National Guard will be on French soil fighting to uphold the honor of motherhood and womanhood.
 The speaker, touching on the recent draft registration. said that of the 7.2oo odd names received, $500 were aliens, and In all probability would not be acceptable. 1000 were married and had dependents, and of the 1,60O re- maining, 500 would be physically un- fit. According to statistics. about 500 men will be required should the Unit ed States send an army of 100000 across the water. These figures. the speaker said, mean that young men here will have the choice of enlisting or being taken by the draft route. Which they accept remained with themselves. Tho state of Connecticut win send quota of about 10000. so 1t remained for New Britain to do its share. In tho Civil war Connecticut furnished 6o,ooo soldiers for tho Union cause, and 1t did not seem possible that with tho wonderful growth or the state and cities, that 2o.0Oo can not be enrolled without the draft method.
