TWENTY YEARS AGO.
DIR. CRONAN APPOINTED.

Fhe appointment of Dr. Stephen P. Cronan as adjutant of the first bat talion, was announced today. He succeeds Frederick J. Breckbi1l, who was appointed regimenta1 adjutant on Colonel Sheridan's staff and ranks as first lieutenant. Dr. Cronan is well known in this city and has host of friends, many of whom will be hap oily surprised by his promotion. The appointment is justly deserved and is earned after seven years of earnest work.
 Dr Cronan was born in Naugatuck 25 years ago and will be one of the youngest staff officers in the militia. He was a member of Company G of Waterbury, Second Regiment, for five years. His term expired in 1895 and on removing to this city he was re- enlisted in Company B, Fourth Regi- ment, and was appointed corporal by Capt. White in June last year just previous to camp.
 pr. Cronan received his commission from regimental headquarters this morning. The appointment is made by Major White, former captain of Co. B, and, as was anticipated, he appointed man from his former command. He has one other appoint ment to make, that of sergeant-ma- jor which will be announced later.

NOT A PICNIC SUMMER.

Prof Arthur C Webster OF Clark
university. a member of the Naval
Reserve board, who has returned to
his New England home from the con-
ference with the Advisory committee
Of the Council Of National Defense, is
distressed by the fact that not even
officials OF the government realize the
magnitude OF the task ahead OF US be-
cause only few have been given the
facts. and says that the mass OF the
people have no conception of the stu
alton because they have received such
Incomplete information.
Prof Webster asserts that notwith
standing reports from the war zones
there is not a crack in the Prussian
war machine, and until there is II
will be crimlnally foolish to delude
ourselves with any hope of an early
peace, because the Junkers will fight
to the last gasp regardless OF acres of
graves, empty treasures, or breadless
kitchen cupboards His view is that
there will be no crack in that mon
strous war machine without a series
of spectacular and brilliant victories
which all hope for but which none
must look forward to as a certainty
lest It be transformed into blghting
disappointment
In explanation OF the conclusion
which he says lie shares with the other
members Of the Advisory committee,
the New England man says there is
ample testimony to prove that the
Prussians are able to preserve the
maximum OF resistance, during which
physical, financial and economic ne
cessities viii be minimized as IL is
possible TO equal in no other nations
Eptomized, his judgment which he
says is that OF the men who know
most of wars affairs. is that the war
may not end within three years and
then only II American weight thrown
into the scale with that Of the Entente
Allies is sufficient to tip the beam.
This, he believes, is possible on,y II
the American Nation as whole,
every man and woman, goes into the
struggle with a clear view OF what
must be done to win To do other
wise he concludes is to DO our country
injustice.

Keep Anniversaries.

Although gift giving or recognition OF

of festiyity when mothers or fathers

occasion will show the kindly spirit
