Your viewpoint is all wrong. You
totally misunderstood the object Of
the present campaign to enlist pop
ular support for the loans.
The chances are by dint of a drive
in the great money marts, Uncle Sam
could raise three billion dollars from
the big corporations and the wealthy
captains of industry. But such a loan
.floated in such a way would not be a
popular loan. It would not represent
to the world what the plain American
men and women thought Of their gov.
eminent.
The scheme in all these loans is to
get as many Of the plain people
terested as possible. The plan is to
show to the world this is not a rich
mans war, but a war of all the peo-
pie of the United States upon the
ruthless and brutal military a~utocracy
Of Germany.

to ,the loans. It is up to each of us
to buy what he can. II you can buy

one million dollars worth, take it.
Each must give what he is able in
order to testify to the faith that is in
him. n

Star spangled Banner" is played. But
this war cannot be fought with cheers
and songs and flags. 1t has to be
fought by men fully equipped for war.
For this huge quantities Of money
are necessary. Your $50 is necessary.
Every ones $50 is necessary.
If everyone Of rs will take this to
heart and act upon 1t, the second
great LOAF will be a poor mans loan
as well as a rich mans. It will be
greatly oversubscribed. The precious
bonds will be held in millions of
homes-where they should be.
And speaking of a rich mans war
the more $50 and 500 bonds that
are sold to the men and -wemenMho

money, the less there will be to go to
the rich men who find in these bonds
a splendid investment and a chance
to dodge excess taxes.

All Uncle Sam is after Just now.

All Uncle Sam is after just now is
a systematic organization through

In the coal industry there are great
shortages of competent miners in GER
tain fields, $4,000 in the anthracite
alone, while in other sections men are
working less than full time. In nor
NAL times men would slowly filter
from the regions OF surplus labor to
the regions Of scarcity; but that proc
ess is too slow for war necessities,
which call for flying squadrons" of
workers who can move when need

Y. M. C. A. MEETING.
Rev. George 5. Strouse Addressed the
 Mems Gathering on Sunday.


 The mems rally Sunday afternoon at o'clock was enjoyed by l goodly number of men. The musical num- bers consisted of a solo By Miss Ban. field and one by Hugh Kinder.
 The address was delivered by Rev George H. Strouse, who said in part
 There are two things I wish to em- phasize today, first there is in these days widespread upostacy; the greatest tragedy is not the war, but apostacy, which means a forsaking of God. There is original, national and personal apostacy. We are all guilty of the first, not one is free from 1t. France was once guilty of National Apostacy; she did her best to banish the thought of God from France. not so now, for today France is serious in her thought. Germany is said to be now in the. process of elirninafing God from her 4ational life.
 Then there are those who gre guilty of personal apostacy; Judas was and so was Den1as, and many today are shutting God out of their lives. Many are making the discovery that a life without God is vacant fife; the greatest discoverer, Jesus Christ.
 The second thing I want to speak of is that the hope for those who are living the square life is that there will be day of balancing up accounts and every one will get his just re- wards.
 We read in the word about Gods day, but this is not Gods day, this is mans day; he is having his own way and he is not having very good suc- cess. Gods day is coming and I am that as it may, God win have His day and then things will be made right.
 Next Sunday Rev. Vernon Cooke of Willimantic. will speak.

Coroner Investigating Auto Fatality
Theories Advanced Cause of Accident That Re suited in Death of Samuel B. Casssday-Body Claimed by Brohern-law and Taken Springfield for Burial

Coroner Franklin H. Brown is inves- tieatiug the cause of the automobile fatality in Franklin which on Friday night resulted in the death of Samuel B. Casseday of Springfield. and pur- chasing agent of the Groton Iron works, the new Morse shipyard at Groton.
 The case is a puEzling one, as as far as known no one saw the accident, and it. will probably so down on the records kept by the coroner as an un- solved mystery.
 Several theories have been advanced in regard to the cause of the accident. One, which is not unlikely, is that tho Ford touring car driven by MT. Casse- day, was struck. by . passing auto mobile. the driver of the second ma chine not stopping to investigate. This theory is substantiated in part by the fact that the smashed lenders were on the upturned side of the machine. It

FOOD ADMINISTRATION
 -- S PLEDGE CARD CAMPAIGN
Purpose is to Bring Situation Clearly
 Before People.

This week is the week of the U. S. food administration pledge card cam
 raign. It's main purpose is to bring
 the food situation clearly before the people who handle the food. The sig natures are desired
 First-Because 1t insures closer at tentton to the recommendations of the food administration and as a result greater willingness and interest in the matter.
 Second-Becapse the consent to be- come members of the food adminiStra- ton by a large majority of the people is a clear evidence at Washington that the people are backing up the govern ment.
 Refusal to sign the pledge card may be for reasons in no way hostile to the rurp0aes of the administration, but 1t will be impossible to explain all these reasons. The government must be guided by the fact that an individual will or will not sign. The signature commits the signer to do the best pos s;ble as his individual circumstances will permit and Is not an onerous bur- den, and the consent of a large ma jcr1ty of the people of the country will perhaps accomplish voluntarily what foreign nations are compelled to do by law.
 Every signer of the pledge card re- ceives a home card with instructions which foods, te save and illuminated window card of membership in the U. | and expected that these window cards will soon be as widely displayed as the American flag.
 Returns have been received from organizations Of committees and their willingness to undertake the work and makJ it a success.
 The federal food administration and the committee of food supply urge the recipient of this letter to lend his or a n ,.iv the week of Oct. 2S-Nov. 4, to the end that Connecticut's promise to Wash ington that 2oe, 900 signatures to pledge cards may be obtained shall be made good.
 It is a matter of much interest that a friendly rivalry has arisen between our state and Florida. The food pledge card campaign managers in Florida are of the opinion that they will get more names in proportion to the popu- lation than this or any other state. Cur committees hold the view N thAs they are able and will succeed in sur the efforts of Florida. The outcome will be watched with consid- erable interest throughout the United States. Such a. contest as this between two states so far separated IS unusual and therefore an interesting event and can lead only to more friendly rela- tions than would ordinarily exist be- tween widely separated communities.
 There is widespread interest in the big rally to be held at the high school in Bridgeport on Monday evening Oct. 29. Hon. William How ard Taft will speak and the food ad- intends to use his speech. with those of six others in the coun- try. as campaign material for the na- tiona1 food campaign. So much has had to be deferred until after the Lib- srty loan was subscribed that the ad- vance notice of this meeting is short Therefore you are urged to give it as much publicity as possible.
