FLAG RAISING AT NORWICH GOLF CLUB
Opsnng Address Made by President Horao Bgelow at Sum- down Memorial Day-Present Form of Stars and Stripes Suggested by Norwich Man.

Few people, said he, are aware that the present form of the flag was sug- gestad by a Norwich man. In 1795 the flag had fifteen stripes and fifteen stars and this lag continued in use for twenty three years, when by the admission of several new states into the Union, it became necessary to again change the form. Therefore in ISIS Samuel Chester Reid. of Nor wich, who had gained distinction in naval warfare during the war of 1912 was called in consultation and recon mended that the thirteen original col- onies be represented by the thirteen stripes and star be added for each state. This form was adopted per manently
 At the present time the flag and all it stands for is especially signif- cant to ns. The group of stars has been held together at what sacrifice and struggle. Gazing on it we recall the names of Washington and LaF'ay- cite. Lincoln and all the noble band of heroes, who fought for the great principle of liberty for which 1t stands Today millions of men and women are suffering and dying for this same cause. It Is the underiy- ing principle of democracy. Today it cannot help but be borne in upon us that it's defense has assumed a gray ity never before existing in history We speak of Old Glory. It must gain a new, glory by our sacrifices for hu- manity.

A very interesting incident in the history of the Norwich Golf club took place in the flag raising on Memorial Day in the presence of large num- Der of the club members ana their guests. At the highest point of the beautiful knoll on which the club house stands the towering flag staff had been erected and placed in an unusually attractive setting. Prompt ly at 6 o'clock a bugfe call summoned the people together and to the strains of The Star Spsngled Banner sung by all, the beautiful flag was raised aloft by Master Golf Bri1es.
 The president, Horatio Rigelow, made the opening address. In these days. he said, our hearts are filled to overfiowing with patriotism, and ev- cry fiag brings fresh inspiration. When this pole was put in place. a forward step was taken and today, in the raising of this beautiful flag, we have reached the consumma ton. Let us hope it may stir us to renewed efforts to safeguard our country If we hut apply it in the patriotic and practical and absolutely essential duty of investing tomorrow in a Liberty loan bond, this inspiration has not been wasted.
 Following Mfr. Bigelow, prayer was offered by the Rev. Richard R. Gra- ham.
 Henry A. Tirrell then spoke on the significance of the event and the flag.

PICK OUT NAMES
 FROM STATE CENSUS.
librarian Goddard Completing Lists
 Distributed Into Six Classes.

State Librarian George S. Goddard, in whose custody is the state military census material, has started delivery of the complete lists by towns of the
 men of draft age whose names have been returned to the census by the enumerators. It is expected that be- fore June 1 cFriday) a list covering all the towns will be in the hands of the governor.
 "Something of the magnitude of the task can be imagined" Mir. Goddard said. when it is known that 502, ,4S0 cards have been received. We have kept continuously at work on this inn mense number and find that the census will be of high value to the state. It will be used not only for the draft registration but later for the recruit ing of the state guard. It will bring into the town treasuries large sums from men who have lodged payment Of the personal tax.
 Six lists of names of men of draft age are being made from the material The first three deal with citizens of the state, the others with aliens.
 The first class deals with men of the draft age without dependents and phy- sically fit. The second has to do with men of that age with dependents and physically fit. The third has to do with men of such age without depend dents and physically unfit The first is already in use. as far as Hartford and the home stations of the units of the First infantry are concerned, by Col onel Richard J. Goodman and the re- cruiting officers of that regiment.
 The fourth, fifth and sixth classes, dealing with aliens, are small, com pared with the first three. They are distributed as follows:
 Fourth class, aliens who have taken out the first papers: fifth class aliens who are friendly; sixth class, aliens who are enemies. All classes are of draft age.

BANS DRINKS FOR
 MEN IN UNIFORM
Law Applies 10 Every Member of the
 National Guard.

Believing that the law putting a ban on drinks for men in uniform ap- piled to soldiers only, some New Lon don saloonkeepers have been serving thing but soft drinks to soldiers. The majority of the saloonkeepers have made a fast rule to serve none but civilians so as to be on the safe side have taken chance on serving jack ies, believing the law did not affect them.
 Newport saloonkeepers this week sought official interpretation of the law and found that it included any man in uniform, whatever branch of the service he represents, so they have made rule to serve no men in uni in the business there, where the cafes were often damned with soldiers, sailors and marines, There have been few arrests in Newport for viola ton of the federal prohibition law.
 According to a ruling of Attorney General Gregory, the law applies to every member of the National Guard of every state, whether or not actual ly mustered into federal service; This law also includes the naval and ma rfne corps forces as well as the army.
 This ruling is made on section 1e of the army selective draft act. re- gently enacted by congress. According to the interpretation of the law, each m ember of every fighting branch, 1ia- ble to federal service, is included un der the act, regardless of whether or not he has been actually mustered i'm to the service.
 The attorney general holds that in legislation ef this character where the words military forces are spe- officially used they are meant to apply to both the land and naval forces of the government. When the president has been authorized to employ the military forces of the country to car " on a war, the department of justice contends that such forces include ev- cry fighting branch of the nation army, navy, marine corps and Ma
