BOY SCOUTS IN
 FINAL DRIVE TODAY Subscriptions Received To Date Total
 4oe For $500.

Enthusiasm runs higf, among the Boy Scouts for their final drive today for the Liberty Loan. Bank officials are greatly pleased with the present results of the week, but the boys say they still have a punch left. This aft ernoon at 2-15 o'clock, the final bat tie will take place, when the special parade of all the scouts will take place. The earnestness of the boys in this matter has spread beyond the city, for on Friday night, Scout Com missioner Bruce received a telephone call from Fort Wright. The boys over there have heard of the parade, and are anxious 10 lend their help both to the scouts and to the Liberty Loan campaign. Buglers Allen and Ostrosky told MT. Bruce that every effort is be- ing made to bring up drum and of eight bugIes and three drums. Of course the offer was gladly accepted. this, along with the Drum corps of Troop 10, will provide for q unique parade for Norwich.
 The Scouts assembly will be blown at 2 o'clock sharp at Union square, and all troops that can are urged to bring with them banners that will ad- vertise the Liberty Loan.
 The securing of subscriptions >to count for individual scouts, closed on Friday night at g o'clock, although the reports are not all in. All day today scouts may secure subscriptions where they can, but in each the subscriber must accompany the scout at once to the bank to make the initial payment This holds up to o'clock.

| blows at the demon, Fire? On the other side of the water, war 1 has devastated the warehouses. the 1 fields and the factories. On this side, fire with its long-reaching arm, is every day going into the warehouses, which store food and comfort which in their turn make life and liberty pos sible for the boys who are fighting our fight and for AlOse who are behind, 1 cheering them in their patriotic duty, and it behooves you and me to see that these sources of food and comfort are not permitted to be ruthlessly thrown into the ash heap. Commissioner Young of North Car olina in a recent address says: How can a fire insurance agent better help than by showing that preparedness should begin in our factories, business houses and homes, against o'Ir worst enemy, Fire ?"
 It is our obliga tion, therefore, to see
 that this enemy of democracy. this
 power which is doing much in it's
 insidious way as is Prussia nism, to pull down the bulwarks, of civiliza tion. reducing to ashes the wealth and the prosperity of this glorious country. Is given intelligent and effective elimin- ation.
 The Sinews of war are in your hands. It is your oblieation to do your hit and to get to the front, to take your place in the trenches. and ''go over the top'' now.
 The companies which we have the honor to represent have spent in the year past millions of dollars in edu- eating the public in better construc- tion. Today these same companies are sending their field men and their engineers and all of their availabe- forces into every town and hamlet to teach with their expert technical equipment how fire hazards may be re duced.
 At best, however, the mobilized force of companies. is but drop in the bucket as comparied tc the potential power in the hands of the American insurance agents.
