THE LIBERTY LOAN.
Chairnen of Sub-Committees Ap- pointed at Meeting on Wednesday.

At a meeting of the liberty loan com mittee held Wednesday afternoon at which there were representatives of various walks of life, these represent : atives were made chairmen of sub
 committees to be named by themselves and in this way extend further the liberty loan campaign. The number of subscribers at the close of business on Tuesday night was 473 and the subscriptions total $494. 300.
 The following is quoted from a cir cular letter sent by Mrs. John Laid
 law Buel of Iitchfie.d state regent of the Connecticut Daughters of the American Revolution, which has 50 chapters in this state:
 In order to enlist the service Of Connecticut women in popularizing the
 loan, the liberty loan committee of ans liberty loan committee for Con
 necticut. Mrs. Morgan G. Bulkeley chairman; Mrs. Richard M Bissel1,
 vice chairman, upon which your state
 regent has been invited to act as the
 official representa- tive of the Connecti-
 cut Daughters of the American Revo-
 lution. Both as member of this com-
 nittee and in response to a letter just
 received from our own president gen
 eral, Mrs. Guernse sey, appealing to the
 state regents in the interests of the
 loan, I am now calling the attention of our chapters to this particular ser
 vice to our country.
 No war can be carried on without money. Our soldiers give their lives our president asks US simply to lend our dollars to the governn-ant. In this financing of our government the worn- en are as deeply concerned as the men. It is war for the safety of our homes and our liberties. We should not be dependent upon the rich men and the banks to raise this vast sum of 20O0- 100000. Their activities are needed in other ways. It is the responsibility and patriotic duty of a solid nation of small investors, men, women and even ment and army. Please read the en- closed literature to your chapter. It will expalin much that is not at pres ent realized by the general run of men and women.
 The liberty loan is no ta gift or a charity but an investment and to buy liberty loan bonds is one of the most eloquent ways of showing our faith in our country and our desire to serve is not too much for us to dedicate to our country's need.
 lyease bring this special line of ser vice to your chapters attention and secure as many subscriptions to liberty bonds as possible. Subscribe as chap ters and as individuals. Get subscrip- tion blanks and information from your banks and distribute to your members. Have the blanks returned to your either to yourself. your treas urer or your representative, if other than yourself, on our Connecticut standing committee on war relief ser vice. A D. A. R. chapter can take as well as department store or newsstand.

LINK EASTERN CONNECTICUT TOWNS
Object of Big Gathering to be Held Mohegan Hill This Month-Auto Parade to Start at Webster With Other Towns Falling in Line

To link the towns and villages of all eastern Connecticut in one bond of fellowship is one of the chief aims of the committee in charge of the big gathering to be held at Mohegan Hill on the 22d of this month. This day will mark the opening of the Mohegan trail leading from near Webster in a southerly direction, passing through City. Norwich to New London, it's southern terminus
 The General Plan.
 According to a preliminary an- nouncement made on Wednesday by Rev. Joseph H. Seiden, who is the chairman of the general committee, 1t Is planned to make this turnout one of the largest, if not the largest eastern Connecticut has ever seen. To this end everything is being done to inter est the people from New London, the erfy to Webster, and the arrange ments are being made by the general committee which represents the Cham bers of Commerce in eastern Connec- Chamber of Commerce. The latter body has taken hold of the matter with just as much vim as the several other chambers interested, and 1t is quite probable that their delegation will vie with the delegations from the towns nearer the southern terminus of the trail.
 It is planned to start an automobile procession at Webster and to have the delegations in the towns along the trail fall in with their automobiles as the procession passes through the towns and villages. By the time the procession reaches Norwich there should be a long line of autornobiIes In line.
