that fits Americas young men moral y and physically for battle. It teaches them the faith of God, and in this present war righteousness is one of the real causes involved. Rev. MT. Cook spoke of the enthusiasm of the American people, and said that no man would stand by and watch the 'Star-Spangled Banner" be dragged ! In the mud with the army and navy carrying on the battle of God, Ameri- ca was sure to win," he said.
 ~rn Mayor Quiglcy Speaks.
 Mayor Quiyley spoke of the United States government calling upon its people about year ago for support and in looking over the joint bodies of the Y. M. c. A. and the K of c. he believed that there should be no stopping at the 1000 goal, but the teams should go on striving to raise Ut least $100,00O. New Britain, the 1peaker said, has done it's part i'll the campaigns for the Red Cross and subscribed on two occasions for the Liberty Loan. In the latter. 2 there was no giving, it was busi- ness proposition, but soon the people must learn to give, when called upon, he said. The boys in the trenches ArO calling for assistance in carry 1nH on tho war of humanity and New Britain people must do their bit. The Central Powers believe it is Gods war they are engaging in but every one from President Wilson down tOali8eo that peace will be attained only when honorable victory is won. POaoo through treaty, the speaker Qald. is not possible with a country ohAt laughs at treaties.
 Every man in this hall wants peace. but when I hear men going kAout talking about praying for peace Se makes me think of g. story told about . captain of a ship who in Dotmod terrified passengers when the >a1nywaS threatened with destruction, faont they could pray, but they must e1oo keep pumping like h-l" FOaoo by prayer will result in the Germans continuing their inhuman hGtR. In conclusion, Mayor Quigley oAid the people of New Britain must pid the boys in France as we'll as i'm proving conditions in the training camps. He also urged the workers to htstve to make the goal $100,0O0 rather then $66.000.
 Rev. John T. Winters.
 Chairman Pease next introduced Rev. John T. Winters as the man we LII xOV9E0 aIO ouLuuS1dS1u was nlSn aS the pastor of St. Mary's church BosA.
 Father Winters said he felt honored in being present at such a gathering of men who were acting as cham pions of the boys at the front. He congratulated the committee and captains on their selections of work ers who are bound to put the cam paign across. Father Winters, said that many men would undoubtedly feel~it a burden to approach friends In solicitation of funds for the cam paign, but attention should be called to the many hundreds of young men who have marched away from this community and other communities in the battle of righteousness and jus tice. Gan we who remain at home allow our boys to suffer, while we have home comforts Father Winters asked. Prayer and contributions were needed in this war, and money was needed by the camp workers.
 Within the recent past, the speaker said, he visited Camp Devens, and he felt how wretched it would be if the boys in the cantonment would be al lowed to want. In urging prayer, Father Winters said religion teaches us that we must fight, 1t is a duty we owe our country. and if death comes 1t is a sweet thing to die for a country of liberty. He urged prayer for the success of the campaign. He assured his auditors that the congre- Kation of St. Mary's church would be found by the team workers with open doors and open purses. "St Mary $ phurch is trying to do its share to the war. On the little flag will be found names of 125 members of the parish which will soon be Haunted the breezes alongside of the Star epanEled Banner He assured his listeners that the Catholic church was trying to do all in its power tc educate it's flock in being good Ameri' can citizens. Father Winters touched on the attitude of some Irishmen 1T the present war. The speaker tolc of freedom that once existed in Ire land. which has since been taker away by more powerful nation, ant oppression has supplanted liberty. h. said. The attitude of 1rishmen to word England was due to the law Of Eneland's manufacture. It wa no wonder the sons of Ireland hated England, the speaker said. The Irish man, Father Winters said, loves free dom, and if the men present shoul( hear remarks dropped here and ther which woud tend to cast reflection o this nationality, he urged that thos forced to listen, should have llttl patience" The Irishman loves Ameri ca more than he hates England
 Father Winters said. "He loves thi grand, glorious country. because hi church teaches him to, and in thei ranks will be found few of the Slackal Benedict Arnold or Senator LaFollett
