the Fine Arts, through the cooperation
Of the board Of education, has arranged
series Of i've concerts to be given,
one each month. beginning in Novsm-
ber. in the auditorium Of the Central
High School. which Is centrally located
at 11th and Clifton streets. and has a
seating capacity Of over two thousand.
The best musicians have been secured.
Four Of the concerts will be song re-
citals. ono will be instrumental music.
The programs have been carefully Sc
lected so as to be entertaining as well
as instructive. There will be folk songs
OF the various nations. the songs from
Kentucky mountains. There will be
English and American songs by the
best composers, old songs and new OF
France, Italy and Russia. These Will
be sung by Walter Bogert Of New
York, who has directed various choral
societies and who, both as a singer and
lecturer. is widely known; Lorraine wy
man, pupil of Nine. Yvette Guilbert:
Nicholas Douty of Philadelphia, tenor
soloist, with almost every choral So
ciety. and repeatedly at the Bach fes-
tivals, and Francis Rogers of New
York. who has appeared as soloist with
the Boston Symphony Orchestra. New
York Symphony Orchestra. and others.
Instrumental Numbers.
The evening OF instrumental music
will be given by Sylvan Noack, first
violinist and assistant concert master
of the Boston symphony Orchestra;
Heinrich Warnke, concert celloist of the
same orchestra: and Mrs. George Pea
body Eustis, who. though not a pro-
fessonal. is an accomplished pianist.
The Washington Society of the Fine
Arts has a membership of about 500.
To each member one ticket for this
series Of concerts is given. They are
open. however. by subscription. to nom
members at 81 for the series-that is.
20 cents a concert. Single admissions
will be 25 cents. There will be no re-
served seats.
The charge is made partly to cover
the cost and partly because 1t Is be-
lieved that there are many people who
would rather pay a regular admission
price than to attend a free show. e
About the same plan is followed in
New York by similar organization.
which gives for the same price a series
chamber music concerts in the mu-
licipal auditorium in the Washington
wing High School. except that in New

CURRENCY CONTROLLER
MAKES PLEA FOR LOAN
Says Country Now Contains 5000,
900 People Who Can Take
q Bond.

TN this supreme hour every man and
woman should buy a bond" said John
Shelton Williams, controller of the cur
rency. in a statement issued today in
support of the second liberty loan. 1t
was as follows:
THE census figures show that in
/ this country today there are 5e.o00.o00
men and women between the ages OF
twenty and sixty-five. OF this number
1t is believed that there are over 25,-
100000 who receive an income. either
from wages, salaries or investment, or
who have credit sufficient to enable
them to subscribe to liberty bonds.
Able to Purchase Bonds.
These individuals are able to pur-
chase bonds in sums. varying from $50
| to 500, 600, 900 each. for the defense and
protection of their country and all that
| is dear to them. Any man or woman in
this world crisis. when the fate of our
own country and every other civilized
nation is at stake, who is able but re-
fuses to subscribe, is a Stacker and de-
serves the condemnation of patriots.
| Hundreds of thousands of banks
have generously offered to enable any
man or woman in the country to sub
scribe to a fifty-dollar liberty bond
| who will make an initial payment of
lS5, and these banks have agreed to
carry these bonds for the subscribers
until they can be paid for, or for rea-
sonable time, without cost to the sub
scriber, as the bond itself pays the
| per cent interest which the hanks
would charge the subscriber for lend
| ing the money to make the purchase.
Help at Critical Moment.
"Is there any healthy man or woman
in this country who cannot by self
denial, If necessary, raise the IS which
is required to enable them to buy and
! carry in bank a fifty-dollar bond? They
are not giving away this SIS or the
other s45 which they borrow TO pay for
the bonds-they are simply helping at
a critical moment to raise the huge sum
which it is necessary for US to raise to
make this great loan a success; and
when this loan is raised they can later
on, if they need the money, sell their
bonds and use the funds which they
have thus invested in any way they
please.
IN this supreme hour II is the SOL
emn duty of every man and woman who
has a salary or other income, or who
is able to work for a living. to buy
liberty bond"

the medical strength of the country, according to orders issued from the war. department at Washington.
 The government at Washington has determined to have a complete census of all doctors throughout the country and to facilitate the, work the nation has been divided into states and the states into counties. The United States Adjutant- General is Dr. Martin. a leading specialist of Chi cago. and his general staff includes nine of the leading doctors of the country. In each state a committee of nine or ten medical men are named to complete the census. The repre- sentetives from Hartford country are Dr. Reeks, Dr. George Bell of Hart ford and pr. A. NJ. Rowley of Hart ford. Dr. Rowley is chairman. These men met yesterday at Hartford and made plans to. call a meeting of all Hartford county physicians within the next few days to hear the plans of the government and to volunteer, in case of any emergency. to do that work to which they are the best adapted. The Washington govern ment has notified the doctors that al! are liable to conscription. but by hav- ing the medical census it is hoped to be able to get doctors to do that for which they are best fitted, without in- terfering with the civilian welfare of the country.
 These doctors who are to meet fn- clude all in the county, and similar meetings are to be held. in othes counties: They are known as the auxiliary medical reserve and are not only recognized by the government. but are, in fact, also instituted by the Washington authorities, so the call for a meeting is not simply a re- quest but Is a government call and a challenge to the loyalty of every doctor.

PRESIDENT SIGNS WAR BOND MEASURE
Afixes Signature to Bill for Ex- penditure of Seven Billions.

Washington. April 24.-President Wilson today signed the war bond bill authorizing the sale of $5,O0O,O0O,000 in government bonds and $2,O0O,O00,- 900 in treasury certificates. (.
 Having decided upon Great Britain as the first Entente nation to be made beneficiary of an American loan, Sec retary McAdoo is expected to an- nounce the amount and other details within a few days. Meantime the sec- retary is awaiting full reports on the immediate needs of the allies through representatives of their governments.
 Great Britain's loan will come from the sale of $5.O0O, 100000 in bonds of which $3.0OO. ,000 is to so to the allies.
 Announcement that Great Britain is to receive tho first loan was made by Secretary McAdoo late yesterday, following conferences with members of the Federal Reserve Board. He also announced that the size of the first issue of bonds would depend largely upon pressing needs of tho Entente nations, still to be reported in detail. Tentative plans provide that all of the $5.000,000.0O0 authorized bonds are not be he offered in one lump sum.
 The fact that Great Britain, as the banker of the allies. has borne the heaS,iest f1nancial> burden of any- of those governments, was taken into consideration in making her the first loan.
 Passage of the war army bill by the end of the week was forecast today upon the assembling of congress.
 General debate on the measure con- tinued in both houses .
 vote may be reached in the house Thursday and in the senate by Saturday at the latest

 The statement says that the com pany has maintained that gasoline price increases have been based on supply and demand, and asserts that the commission now sustains that con- tention in principle and, to a large ex- tent. in degree.

FARM WORKERS NEEDED

New Britain Garden Committee Urges
 Cooperation of Men Owning Flows,
 Horses and Teams.
 The New Britain committee on home gardens today sends out an appeal, through the columns of the press. for all men owning teams, horses or blows, or to men capable to working blows, to enlist their services for this work. All who are willing to donate the use of their horses, teams or blows for any pe- riod convenient, or men who are will ing to do the Work, as we'll as owners who are willing to rent these at fair prices, are requested to immediate ly notify the following address: New Britain Gardens. City,
 The work of the New Britain gar dens is not an individual work. al- though ultimately the ipdivfduals who interest themselves in it will profit. It is patriotic movement and needs the cooperation of every one to make it. success. The secretary of the interior has issued g. startling state- ment in which he says that unless the people of the country unite to in- crease the food producton the coun- try, now at war, will face a food fa- mine. To this end people through out the entire nation are working and Connecticut and New Britain are with the leaders. In order to sue cessfully wage war the country must have an adequate supply just as sure ly as she needs an adequate army and navy and thus. men who work to these ends are doing their bit to- wards the salvation of their country. In New Britain there are 500 acres of registered farm land, that is not developed. This does not include the hundreds of acres of back yard gar den plots and the vacant lots that caii be utilized. Thus, it is evident with thiA vast quantity of land to cultivate there must be an adequate supply of horses, blows and men to till the soil ands get it ready for early spring planting To this end the men fitted for this work, both physically and materially. are urgently requested to cooperate.

Denial by s. o. of New Jersey.

New York, April 24.-The Standard Oil company of New Jersey knows oi no artificial price conditions in the lgasoline field and the company has lscrupulously obeyed the United States .su6feme court dissolution decree. A.
 C. Bedford, president of the company
 said today in a. statement. issued in , connection with the report of the fed seral trade commission on the latter's
 &nsoline investigation:
 sss'The federal trade commission in- !timates that portion of the rise in the price of gasoline. at least in some sections of the country. may be due ! to conditions which it characterizes as agtificial.
 rWe know of no artificial conditions whatever which have affected prices and the. fact is that the operations of tthis company have been dictated solely by sound and legitimate 'busi- lness considerations"
 After pointing it out as significant" tAat the commission finds that the Standard Oil companies now handle only 65 per cent. of the: gasoline mar keted in the country as compared with s7 per cent. before the governments suit. tho statement Says:
 s'Tt .s a matter of common knowl- edge that during the last few years a great number of new oil companies have been organized in this country AQd invested hundreds of millions of ddlars. The commission does not suggest that any practice savoring of unfair competition on the part of the former Standard Oil companies has restrained in any way the free and unhampered growth and success of there nor of the old companies.
 The fact is that the Standard Oil company of New Jersey has scru- pplously obeyed the decree in the dis s4lution suit as affirmed by the su- Dreme court. Our observance of the decree has been under the constant
