GOVERNMENT BONDS OF 'es.

Historical in nature and teaching a lesson of patriotism appealing to many, government bonds issued dur ing the Spanish-American war, some of them valued as high as 109 are being exhibited in the show windows of the New Britain National Bank in stimulation of the sale of Liberty bonds. Sale of the bonds and in- quiries relative to their disposal have vastly increased lately, according to President Andrew J. Sloper of the bank, in charge of their local disposal and leads him to believe that the is- sue will be we'll taken care of locally. It has ben called to his attention that the employees of the North & Judd plant have taken over more than $30,- GOO in bonds, fully half of this amount being in the foundry department where thre are many workmen of foreign birth. ! Bank officials note that persons of foreign birth are even more generous in their purchase of bonds than are those born in America and benefitting materially from local edu- cational and other institutions.

BUY ONE TODAY.

There are but seven days left in which to purchase Liberty Bond. The Herald today devotes an entire page of free advertising for this great Liberty Loan of 1917. Thereon can be found the names of places where subscriptions will be received. Bank CTS and financiers the country oyer have called attention to the attractive ness of the Liberty Bonds as invest 1nents. Leaving patriotism aside there is no better way of spending money than by investing 1t with the United States Government, the strongest financial institution in the world. If the United States of America can not protect the money placed with 1t then there Is no bank in the land safe. Other moneys may be taxed, other investments lost, but the Lib- erty Bonds will be safe so long as this Government is safe. The one way to make the Government safe Is to back it up. Those who are not going to fight in the trenches must help feed and clothe those who are. The Liberty Bonds can be purchased in large or small denominations. Buy Liberty Bond today and help Uncle Sam win another war.

The Forest Patriots.

(William Herschell, in Indianapolis
 News). An oak tree, tall and stately, came
 down with mighty crash That scared the baby saplings and
 thrilled the elm and ash. Pray. why all this?" the elm in-
 quired. What are you leaving :, for?"
 My country calls" the oak replied.
 "and must go to war!" Then, while it's neighbors hardened,
 the oak, with sturdy heart, Told how it had enlisted to do its
 humble part. There's need for ships" the oak be-
 gan, to sail the troubled seq: A good old wooden fleet they want / 50 they've enlisted me! Of iron and steel there's scarce
 enough, which makes me glad
 indeed,
 For now i, too. can help convey the
 stores our allies need. I'll face the foeman's frenzy with a
 zeal to do or die, As did the good old merchantmen in
 years now long gone by.'' The great oaks loyal ardor sent a
 thrill through all the trees. And soon call to mobilize was hur-
 ried down the breeze. One volunteered to be a bridge. one
 could a barracks be No stacker bolted from the line of ttAs brave company! The beeches, elms and cottonwoods
 marched off beside the oaks; The hickories said for cannon wheels
 they'd proudly serve as spokes. Soon all the trees but one had gone
 to muster at the mill The one was just Q sapling left to
 guard a lonely hill. Yet, while 1t mourned it's lowly state
 and thought existence hard. A school boy gladly claimed 1t for g.
 flagstaff in his yard Which points wartime moral each
 of Us should keep in view That, though we're great or hum-
 ble there Is something all can
 do!

ing d4 this plan he will satisfy the aspirations of his different people and
 lessen the danger of disintergration in
 his kingdom. The Emperor's de- cision to alter the constitution Is said to have come after the Russian revo- lution and the entry of the United
 States into the war. Once the new order is brought about, and there is good reason to hope that this may happen. the Dual Monarchy may sue for a separate peace. The Emperor sees the handwriting on the wall. Unless German Junkerism spells the plans of Emperor Charles may we not look forward to atnew United States? The United States of Austria Hun
 gary.
 Should these things be brought about the great war shall not have
 been fought in vain. It Is being waged today with the idea that the world must be made safe for democracy. So far, democracy is the gainer. The thrones and dynasties, of the old world are tottering. They have not as yet begun to tumble as
 we should like to see them, but they are shaking. And the signs for further destruction of old principles and old ideas of government are en- couraging. As Secretary of the In- teriori Lane put 1t, ''Feudalism is making it's last stand against oncom- ing Democracy. We see 1t coming. This is a war against an old spirit. an ancient. outworn spirit-the right of the castle on the hill to rule the village below" That is why we are fighting against Germany.-to down that old idea, "the Divine Right of Kings" It is an aged doctrine. a false philosophy. If there are signs of awakening in Austria-Hungary. If the Emperor there is wise enough to see the oncoming rush of democracy. and get under cover, the day is not far distant when we may see more United States in the world,

MORE WORK FOR RED CROSS.

-
 With the destruction of San salva- dor. capitol of the Republic of Sal vador. and six surrounding towns, the American Red Cross will be called upon to extend it's energies in another direction. San Salvador Is . city the same size as Now Britain. No de- taals of the manner in which this city
 was destroyed have been received in thas country. but the seismograph at Georgetown University last night re- corded an earthquake. This is prob ably the cause. Volcanic eruptions have occurred in that vicinity many times in the past. Sixty thousand people have in all probability been wiped off the face of the earth. The survivors will need all the help that a friendly nation can extend. Even with the great burdens imposed by the great war abroad, and further de- mands of this country, the American means of helping the unfortunate people of San Salvador. If previous to this time, there were those who could see no reason for contributing one dollar and joining the Red Cross the fatalities in the Central American city should serve as a dispeller of all doubt. The American Red Cross stands supreme in its mission of charity. It serves friend and foe alike. In this case it will administer to Q friend, a friend in need.

tile reconnaissance should relieve tha main body of the necessity of be- traying It's position by firing on small bodies of the enemy. K fssss To be surprised by an enemy 1t short range" says the Drill ReEula- tions, "is an objectionable ofrense.'s Therefore. reconnaissance is kept up throughout an action and 1t is the important duty of Combat Patrols to give security to exposed Flanks. Whether or not the Patrol is able to stop hostile reconnaissance or even an attack, itmust at all hazards con- vey warning of the enemy's approach to tho main body.

THE PATROL.

The Patrol is perhaps the most re- sponsible and important work upon which an enlisted man may be ene gagged. The Patrol represents the eyes of the unit-eyes like those of crabs, thrust out on long feelers, so to speak, but which are still in contact with the main force and can be withdrawn to it. The use of a Patrol Is threefold. It is a detachment sent out from a command to gain informa- tion of the country or. of the enemy; to prevent the enemy from gaining in formation; or to provide the neces- sary security against surprise.
 An erroneous impression prevaifs in uniformed quarters that the use of the aeroplane on the great scale now witnessed in Europe has dis pensed with old methods of foot pa- trol. This is not the case. To be sure, there is no patrolling in trench warfare. in the former sense, except, perhaps in night raids; but in all mo- bile operations, to which the warfare on the Western Front, is now revert dng, the principle of the Patrol is in- dispensable.
 The reason that the aeroplane can not substitute for the foot patrol is that the aeroplane Is seldom able to distinguish command behind cover or in shelter of a forest. This fact Is so well established that artillery poe sitions have been covered with bushes and treees and the guns themselves are painted mottled green which deceives the birdmen. There is an in- finite amount of careful grouping out and detailed observations left over for foot patrols after the aeroplane has passed oter It Is not necessary. in these articles, to consider cavalry pa trol.
 As for the matter of surprise, even units as small as a company, when on the Firing Ldne. must be we'll pro- tected by patrols on each flank. Each leader of Flank Platoon details 8 man to watch for the signals of the Patrol or Patrols on his Flank. Pa trols or parties posted to prevent hos

TO MAKE ADDITIONS
 AT CAMP SCHOOL
Board Of Education Discusses En-
 lar6in6 Its Facilities
Project to Appropriate $5O, 900 to Be Taken Up By School Board
 This Afternoon.

At a monthly meeting of the school
 board of this city at 4:30 this after- noon the project for appropriating
 $5O,00Q for the purpose of having an
 addition built to the Camp school on
 Prospect street will be discussed.
 Under law enacted by. the fast legis-
 lature the State of Connecticut will
 contribute an equal amount if the city
 votes to make the appropriation.
 An addition half the size of the new
 Elihu Burritt school can be built for
 the $1OO,OOO and as there are 45O
 pupils attending the school the need
 of additional room is evident and
 unless there are more adequate quar-
 ters provided it will be necessary to
 stop admitting pupils in the numbers
 that they are now received. To se-
 cure admittance to the school at
 present permission must be given by
 the principal of the State Normal
 school but in the event of a larger
 school being built it will become dis
 trict school and attendance will be open to children living in the district directly surrounding it.
 It is though probable that the prop OSlC1On VIII De SanCClOneO ana that the city will be called upon to make
 the $50,O00 appropriation. If the project is passed the city and state will have to make an agreement re- lative to contracts and the labor for building.
 The school calendar for next year will be discussed and the report of the salary committee presented at this meeting.
 Nine new teachers for the coming year have been selected by Superin- tendent S. H. Holmes. They are Hen rietta Derwig of Enfield, Adelaide Kyle of Danbury, Henry F. Anglin of Fitchburg, Mass, Lila M. Miller of New Hprtford, Elsie M. Frye of New Hampshire, Julia Kingsbury of Enfield, Helen Innes of Thompson. verna W. Carlisle of Patten.
