Not a Coward.
(Norwich Bulletin. J

(Norwich Bu1letin.)
A Philadelphia man who had no
qualifications for soldier went to
President Wilson's secretary and said:
my health is fine, Honest. Mr..
Tumulty, there amt a thing the mat
ter with me except 1 am afraid.
tell you can't fight. I wake up
in the middle of the night and see
myself under pile of dead men, with
the cannon blatting all around and
bullet coming my way. 1t isn't that
I don't want to be soldier. but I
just haven't got the goods, that's all"
Any man who can talk this way
about himself is not coward. In
private life he is the men who at any
moment might risk his life to save
life and be heroic.
In our rage for blaming and
branding we do injustice to many
useful and willing men.
The man who can't lie. or who
won't lie, can never be a coward.
The unfit though healthy should be
used right.

DO THIS, AT LEAST.

Sixteen New Britain boys, consti-
tuting the vanguard of the new Ma
tional Army from this city. have al
ready taken up their duties at Camp
Devens, Aver, Massachusetts,. In
few weeks the entire quota from this
city. SIS, will be in the uniform of
Uncle Sam and started upon the
training that will eventually make
them soldiers Of freedom. These
men have gone to the colors via the
pathway Of Selective Service. -Four
or five sets of records show who they
are from whence they came, and
how they were selected.
Previous to this contingent the city
of New Britain sent to the colors sew
eral hundred men and boys who were
anxious to do their part in making
the world free for democracy. These
adventurous souls found their way
across the Atlantic to enlist in the
| armies of the Entente Allies, or they
| drifted to other cities there to Join
the ranks of the United States Army
| or Navy Some remained here to fill
! out the two local companies Of the
! National Guard. Except in few In
stances we have no record Of these
| men. Those who are in the National
| Guard and who enlisted from this city
are easily accounted for; those who
enlisted in other cities present to
tally different problem.
We should know all our boys whe
| serve in this war. To do SO requires
| but little time and attention. Parent
| who have sons with the army, or thu
navy, or the national guard shoult
find a source of pleasure in sending
in the names of their patriots
Friends and kinsmen who know 0
men who left this city to go with an.
army should do at least this muc1
for their absent companions. Soon

TOO LATE. SAYS UNION

Federal mediation in the threat
ened telephone strike in Pacific
coast cities has come too late to
prevent a strike Wednesday even
ing.
This was the announcement of
union officials in Tacoma Wednes-
day.
The strike of telephone opera
tors and hnemen, called by heads
of the international unions, will
take place, they say, at 6 o'clock
Wednesday unless the Pacific
Telephone & Telegraph Co. form
ally recognizes the union of girl
operators.
THE strike has been postponed
twice, and the government has
been given plenty of time to act, /"
said President Stewart of the line
mems union, Wednesday.
"Our attitude is exactly the
same as 1t has been all along. We
will strike tonight unless the COM
pany recognizes the operators
union. Union employees have
shown unusual patience and pa
triotism in delaying the strike this
long"
President Stewart said that he
shad received no messages from the
union heads at San Francisco, and
declared his belief that the union
employees in Tacoma could not be
stopped third time from striking
even II another request was made.
