WHAT IS AMERICA'S DUTY IN
 THIS WARP"
An Interview with Hon. Martin Scully,
 Mayor of Waterbury.

''It IS our duty to throw all our re. sources on the side of universal demo. cracy to the end that mankind, as a whole. may be freed from the heel of despotism, which, if left unchecked, would, in short time, deprive us of the priceless heritage for which the fathers of this Republic died".
 This answer was made by Mayor Martin Scully of Waterbury when a representative of the Connecticut State Council of Defense asked the question "What is America's duty in this war?'', as one of the series of "Made in Connecticut War Interviews'' which are being made public by the Council through the newspapers.
 i've are in the war because we have honor above peace unworthy of the history and traditions of our country" said Mayor Scully. "We enter upon the war solemnly, fully appreciating the magnitude of the task, but with a fixed determination to RAtimately suc- ceed. Our allied enemfe are peculiarly situated in that they occupy contiguous territory, and are thereby enabled to shift troops from front to front with. out much delay; America and it's allies on the other hand are scattered around a large circle and must necessarily maintain sufficient number of men to meet every emergency on the various fronts. It is apparent, therefore, to every thinking mind that America must send large and thoroughly equipped army in order that we may not have humiliating and painful reports such as shocked England as a result of the campaigns in Mesopotamia and Gallipoli.
 'It is only few years ago since ex. Governor Simeon E. Baldwin unveiled monument in this city to the memory of three members of Rochambeau' s army who died while enroute to join Washington at Yorktown. France sent five thousand of her bravest soldiers to this country during the Revolutionary War who turned the tide of defeat into glorious victory for America. After we had achieved our independence we entered into treaty with France, by the term of which it was agreed that every other nation, even England. could trade with us on equal terms. France, who came to us in our distress refused to take any advantage to her. self because of the assistance which she gave us. The bread which she cast dpUn Ciio waters aG tnaG time now bids fair to return hundred fold.
 "Let the young men of this country respond to the sentiments of freedom and democracy with that same enthu. siasm that inspired the nineteea-year- old Lafayette who offered his service to Washington either as commissioned officer or as private in the ranks with out pay. In this way we can in a measure repay the Republic of France and bring about happy consumma- tion so earnestly urged by President Wilson-that every nation large and small shall enjoy the right to choose its own sovereignty.

"WHAT SERIOUS MISTAKE OF GREAT BRITAIN DOES OUR
 METHOD OF RAISING AN
 ARMY AVOID?"
An Interview with Dr. 0. 0. Godfrey, Chairman of the Committee on Sani- tation and Medicine oe the Connec-
 ticut State Council of Defense.

Dr. O. O.. Godfrey, of Bridgeport, who is chairman of the Committee on Sanitation and Medicine of the Con. necticut State Council of Defense, con. tends that, from the medical stand. point the most serious mistake made by Great Britain in the war as in the method of supplying the army with medical officers and the disregard of the future need of medical men to care for the civil portion of the country. Dr. Godfrey was asked by represen. tative of the Connecticut State Council of Defense, in series of ~'Made-in. Connecticut War Interviews', the question "What serious mistake of Great Britain does our method of rais. ing an army avoid?" and made the following statement:-
 "At the beginning of the war, Eng. land called into service large numbers of her best surgeons. and enlisted the able bodied men from the corps of medical students for service in the army. This was done with the one ob. ject of caring for the army needs, and without proper consideration of the z many other objects which require medical skill. For it is just as essential that medical men should care for the civil, as it is that they should care fol the military requirements. .,..-
 Depicting the hospitals and sparse. lv settled portions of the country of medical men and the medical schools of their faculties and students, soon brought about a condition where needed medical aid could not be had, and the needed yearly increment tc the numbers of the medical profession, with internes for the necessary needs of the hospital, was cut off.
 "This may not have seemed ST serious at the time. in the light that il was generally believed in England that the war would not last year, and when the statement of Lord

Growth of the English Language

Growth of the EngiIsh Language.
 A study of the relative growth of the leading languages in the last hundred years shows that English has risen from fifth to first place. In 1900 it was spoken by about one-eighth of the in- habitants of the civilized world; today it is the language of about one-third.
 Besides this, English has taken the place that French occupied much less than 100 years ago as the interna- tional language. Its speech is ever be- coming wider, for the inhabitants of all India are finding it necessary; it is now a required study in the high schools of Japan, and those of China are teaching it to millions of students.
 Would it be too rash to predict that by the year 20OO English will be the language of all the world and other tongues will have become merely local tn their use?-Exchange.

reached Bradford as he had planned.
That fatal morning found Duane

in a tumult. He wanted TO rush to

almost involuntarily, he hurried faster
on. Action seemed TO make his state
less oppressive; 1t eased the weight.
But the farther he went on the harder
1t was to continue. Had he turned his
back upon love, happiness, perhaps on
life itselfp
There seemed no use to &C on far
ther until he was absolutely sure Of
himself. Duane received clear
warning thought that such work as

seemed haunting and driving him
could never be carried out in the mood
under which he labored. He hung on
to that thought. Several times he
slowed up then stopped, only to go on
again. At length, as he mounted n
low ridge, Fnlrdale lay bright and
green before him, not far away, and
the sight was conclusive check.
There were mesquites on the ridge,
and Duane sought the shade beneath
them. 1t was the noon-hour, with hot,
glary sun and no wind. Here Duane
had to have out his fight. Dunne was
utterly unlike himself; he could not
bring the old self back; he was not
the same man he once had been. But
he could understand why. 1t was be-
cause of Ray Longstreth. Temptation
nssailed him. To have her his wife !!
1t was impossible. The thought was
insidiously alluring. Duane pictured
home. He saw himself riding through
the cotton and rice and cane, home to
stately old mansion, where long
cared hounds bayed him welcome,
and a woman looked for him and met
him with happy and beautiful smiles.
There might-there would be children.
And something new, strange, con-
founding with Its emotion, came to life
deep in Duane's heart. There would
be children Ray their motherl The
kind of life o lonely outcast always
yearned for and never had! He saw
1t all. felt It all.
But beyond and above all other
claims came Captain MacNelly's. II
was then there was something cold and
deathllke in Duane's soul. For he knew
whatever happened, of one thing he
Longstreth or Lawson. Longstreth
might be trapped into arrest but Law
son had no sense, no control. no fear.
He would snRrl like panther and go
for his gun, and he would have to be
killed. This, of all consummatlons, was
the one to be calculated upon.
Duane came out of II all bitter and
callous and sore-in the most fitting of
moods to undertake difficult and
deadly enterprise. He had fallen upon
his old, strange, futile dreams, now
rendered poignant by reason of love.
He drove away those dreams. in their
place came the images of the olive
skinned Longstreth with his sharp
eyes, and the dark, evil-faced Lawson,
and then returned tenfold more thrill
ing and sinister the old strange pas
sion to meet Poggin.
1t was about one o'clock when
Duane rode into Fairdale. The streets
for the most part were deserted. He
went directly to find Morton and Zim-
mer. He found them at length, rest
less, somber, anxious, but unaware of
the part he had played at Ord. They
said Longstreth was home too. 1t
was possible that Longstreth had ar
rived home In ignorance.
Duane told them TO be on hand In
town with their men In case he might
need them, and then with his teeth
locked he set off for LongstYeths
ranch.
Duane strode through the bushes
and trees, and when nearing the porch
he heard loud, angry, familiar voices.
Longstreth and Lawson were quarrel
ing agnin. How Duane's lucky star
guided him He had no plan for ac-
ton but his brain was equal to a

Duane returned to Fairdale and
camped In the mesquite till the twenty
third of the month. The few days
seemed endless. All he could think
OF was that the hour in which he must
disgrace Ray Longstreth was slowly
but inexorably coming. In that wait
Ing time he learned what love was
and also duty. When the day at last
dawned he rode like one possessed

The girls sat In seat near by and

Duane did not speak TO Longstreth

They got of the car, and the girls
followed as naturally as ordinary
travellers. The station was good

there was considerable action and

the outstretched hand.
