OCTOBER "a IS
PROCLAIMED
LIBERTY DAY
President Urges People to
Pledge Financial Support
RALLYINGTHE WORKERS
Wage Farmers Told They Have
More at Stake Than All Other
Glasses.

Washington, Oct 14.-President
Wilson, in behalf of the Liberty Loan
tonight issued a proclamation setting
aside Oct "a as Liberty Day, and
urging people of the nation to as
semble on that day in their respec-
tive communities and pledge to one
another and to the Government that
represents them the fullest measure
of financial support"
Let the result be so Impressive
and emphatic" the President urges,
that it will echo throughout The
empire of our enemy as an index Of
what America intends to do to bring
this war to victorious conclusion .
An appeal to the wage earners Of
the United States" to invest in the
bonds was issued tonight by Secre-
tary Wilson of the Department OF
Labor. He said:
"The workers have mere vt stake
in this conflict than any others, be-
cause it is only in democracy that
the common people can come into
their own. The great privilege is
not given to all of us to serve cur
country on the battlefield or Iii the
trenches, but there are other waye
in which we can serve and assist
those who are privileged to carry our
flag on the hattlefelds of Europe
THE impulse of sacrifice for the
common good is sending the youth OF
our country into the trenches in de
fense OF liberty, humanity and demo
craey. To those OF us who must of
necessity remain at home to till the
soil, harvest the crops, man the fac
tories, mines and mills, the way is
open for additional service, We, too
must make Sacrifices. The men who
go forth to do battle in the field must
be equipped and sustained. Funds
must be Forthcoming to furnish the
food, the firearms and other supplies
for the fighting forces of the nation
Finances for that purpose must be Sc
cured Immediately from the sale of
bonds The workers can help by
contributing their mite"
Official reports OF subscriptions up
to the close Of business last night
sent by IL of the 12 reserve banks
show but little progress, the total
standing at S399,654,900. or only
about per cent. of the S5,000,
100000 hoped for.

"rAPs" ON HIS OWN DRUM
instrument Used at Funeral G
George w. BuzzeIl Saturday.

George w. BuzzeI Saturday.
A detail of \civil war veterans,
members of Custer-SiXth Corps post,
conducted the burial service for Geo,
w. Buzzell at Park Lawn cemetery
Saturday forenoon On the casket
was an old-fashioned tenor drum
with history. The veteran who was
being laid to rest was drummer boy
with the 18th and 22d Maine regi-
ments during the civil war and the
drum was captured from the confed-
crates at the battle of Strawberry
Plains in 1864.
The captured drum was given to
the Maine drummer boy, was used by
him during the remainder of his term
of service and after his discharge was
kept as souvenir. The former
drummer boy came to Bennington
about 10 years ago to live on the
farm where he passed away. Some
time after his arrival here he joined
the post and since that time it had
been his custom to sound taps on
the old drum whenever the veterans
laid comrade to rest 1t was used
for this purpose probably for the
last time Saturday by Clifford Cham
berlain.

The people responded nobIy to the
call of the first Liberty Loan with an

still occupy Serel Point and the
Scorb Peninsula on the southwest
ern coast
1t now develops that the Germans
did not occupy Dago Island, north OF

with making a demonstration against

The Russian official statement is
sued today says fighting continues on
the island, and the Germans are
pressing the Russians toward the
southeast An attempt made by

gagged the Russian shore batteries on
Dago Island According TO the Rus
sian War Ohlce four German torpedo
boats were sunk by the fire of this
battery and one German cruiser
which was firing at this battery ran
aground.
Commenting on the German occu-
patton of the Russian Island OF Oesel
the Bourse Gazette today says:
con the whole we must accept as
a fact that we have let this whole
group of islands fall into the hands
of the enemy and that the enemy
will be full master of the Finnish

information was widely heralded IN

and Sunday morning newspaper III
the state. This in spite of the fact
that the War Department refused TO
countenance such in fraction of its
regulations. Several private cable
grams had been received by Connect
cut relatives of guardsmen on Satur'
day, followed by one which read
like this:
Governor, Connecticut, Hartford:
All safe and mill, [well.l Publish

AS finally corrected by the tele-
graph company this was made to
read:
"All safe and we'll; publish.

ments When this message, which
had passed both the French and

Washington, Oct 14.-The Colonel
of New England National Guard
regiment and the Lieutenant Colonel
of a Western National Guard regi
ment probably will be tried by court
martial for cabling to the Governors
of their respective States that the
New England regiment and the Wes-
tern regiment had arrived in France
The Colonel cabled his Governor to
give the widest publicity to the
news.
An investigation is being made by
the War Department and it was
made known tonight that the Navy
Department had begun an inquiry to
ascertain why the American cahle
censors passed the two dispatches
without notifying the authorities in
Washington. 1t was from the New
England Governor that the depart
ment learned of the Colonels cable
gram.
The War Department was con
cerned when 1t learned tonight that
the Governor of the New England
State had given out the Coloners
message for publication. Officials
were indignant, because they had
requested the Governor not TO give
out the news. 1t was said that this
request had been made by both the
department and George Creel, Chair
man of the Committee on Public in
formation, and that the objections
had been laid before the Governor in
the most positive way.
The Governor was told. it was said
that when the commanding general
or the division to which the Colonies
regiment was attached learned Of
his action the Colonel was likely to
be detached Immediately and per
haps ordered to trial. Officials point
ed out that the New England regi-
ment and the western regiment were
in the Federal service and were not
in any way under the command OF
the Governors of the States con
cerned.
