FORGED TO WORK.

Havre, Oct 4.-Male civilians in the Belgian towns of Langemarck, Staden, Elverdinghe Woumen, and Roulers, which recently were evacuated by the Germans, have been forced to work near the German first line trenches in Belgium with the result that many have been killed by exploding shells, according to information received by the Belgian government.
 The civilian population of these towns was ordered to go to the rail- road stations. The women, children, and old men were packed into the forward cars of the trains, while all men and boys, between 16 and 60 years, were placed in the rear cars. When the trains started, the rear cars were uncoupled and the occu- pants forced to undertake the hazard ous work near the first lines.
 In most cases the women and chill dren did not know that they were separated from their husbands and fathers until they arrived at their destination. The forcible conscription of Belgian civilians has become most widespread in the regions of Courtrai and Menin, where about 2,0O0 men already have l been compelled to perform military work. #|r-

 All of this represents hours and hours of patriotic service on the part of those women in New Britain who are helping to win the war by work ing for the comfort and well being of the soldiers and sailors over here and abroad In answer to various questions and in order to furnish the workers and contributions with 1n- formation which they ought to have a brief statement of the plan under which the local chapter works IS given. The American Red Cross has divided the country into thirteen sec- tions, each section comprising a number of states, and having a divis- ion manager, who is the operating head of the division. Connecticut belongs to the Atlantic division and 1t is to the manager of the Atlantic division that New Britain chapter must make reports of all it's activi- ties, and form whom all instructions come All the materials and pat terms used at the local Red Cross rooms are in accordance with 1n- structfons from division headquarters and the garments and supplies are made, hacked and shipped as directed bv the division head. Even the packing boxes are according to special siSe and shape and the package of related garments must be tied up as instructed. Each chapter IS but a part of great big organization and everything must be done by standards and system in order to in sure system and efficiency for tho whole. Every one may be perfectly sure then, that all questions answered in regard to the work at local head quarters and all instructions given out there are in accordance with the standards required by and infor- nation received from the division manager. No rules are made by the local chapter. l,- .. -.s tE .a.

rooms will give one clear idea of the immense task 1t is to plan and complete the amount of work re- presented in one of these monthly reports. The purchasing of materials, the cutting and assembling of gar ments, the giving out of work, the receiving of finished garments the verifying. recording, sorting. packing, and shipping keep large number of women busy every minute of the day. Volunteers are at all times needed and welcome. The knitting is being very we'll taken care of just now but there is great need of more help with the sewing. Are there not more women in New Britain who could spare a little time to help with these much wanted hospital supplies? One half day a week or one hour now and then would be such a help to the cause. Work can be taken home or can be done at the rooms on Court street which are open every day and later will be open one or two evenings week.
 It Is hoped that a great many women will remember to send jar or two of canned goods or a glass or two of jelly for the benefit of the French hospitals. So much canning has been done this year it seems as If little could easily be spared and 1t would be such a boon over there. These can be sent to the Red Cross room on Court street where they will be packed and shipped If anyone finds it impossible to bring them to the room they will be called for if notification is made.
 "In large boxes of relief material for the Duryen War relief were sent out from the local headquarters last week. These consisted of worn cloth ing and canned goods Mrs. Duryea, who is now in Paris, sends a most touching plea for help after visiting Verdun. She says that If only the women in America, could see just once the babies in distress and the people berefit of everything but sorrow they would spend their very souls in pity. Gifts of money are greatly needed. and canned goods, chocolate, cocoa. candles and articles of clothing can all be put to good use. The all day sewing meeting this week will be held on Friday at the parlors of the Metho- dist church. All women in the o,y are welcome and 1t Is hoped a large number will respond for a great num- Der of completed garments Is the result of the bined effort of many hands.
 In spite of the large quantities of goods that have already been supplied there will be greater need than ever this coming winter. Boys will be cold and sick this winter who have never known suffering before and warm garments and hospital supplies will be very grateful to them.
 "It is an unusual emergency and calls for self-sacrif1ce. patience. and work, work, work. But every bit of 1t is necessary"

Chicago, Oct. 4.-The formation of new political party, national in scope out of five minor parties was expected to be completed here today. The ground work has been laid in a series of conferences and committee meetings during the last two days and when the conference reassembled to- day the work remaining consisted of choosing a name for the new party and the adoption of a platform which will suit the units to be carried into the new organization.
 The coalition which will enter into the new party is made up of mem bers of the prohibition and progressive parties, former socialists, single tax adherents and independents. John Spargo, former socialist, of Vermont, who Is chairman of the com mtttee on platform. said the first principle of the conference essentially must be patriotism and support of the gov ernment to the greatest limit during the progress of the war"

There are number of Maple Hill residents that are now getting subscriptions for that purpose and it Is hoped that all will contribute as far as they can toward establishing the organization.

ANIMALS WILL NOT ATTACK
Man Has Nothing to Fear From Wild
Creatures of Forest Who Will

In North America, barring the
venomOus snakes, an occasional old
she-bear, with very young cubs, and
peccary or wild havilina hogs that go
in droves among the brush Of the
southwest, there is nothing absolute
ly nothing, in the wild animal line that
the merest child out alone after dark
needs to fear, says a writer in the
Philadelphia Ledger. Such is the fear
of man, engendered by the long use Of
firearms and traps and before that by
stout bows and flint-pointed arrows,
spears and heavy, spiked war clubs or
stone axes, that the human scent Is
enough to send bears, wolves and cats
along with the deer and lesser crea-
lures, scampering in retreat.
Old hunters and woodmen declare
that it is actually more difficult, as a
general thing, to come within shooting
distance of a bear than it Is of deer,
and In many sections this is proved by
the fact that the bear still hold their

you've met him." impatiently
Explain that I had long-distance
call at the last moment and had to
go back to the office to send off some
papers. Don't let them wait dinner
I'll be there as soon as 1 can"
Here the taxi drew up, Warren
sprang out, repeated the address, "27
East - street." to the driver, waved
his hat to Helen, and disappeared
down the subway steps.
Speeding on, Helen shrank farther
back in the seclusion of the cab, In
tent on the ordeal before her. Al
though Mr.. Gardner, who was one OF
Warren's clients, had dined with them
several months before Helen had never
met Mrs. Gardner, which increased the
awkwardness Of her going alone.
That they were wealthy she knew.
but she was not prepared for the pre-
tentious mansion before which the cab
finally stopped.
The massive bronze doors were
opened by gold-laced footman, and
Helen found herself in a magnificent
hallway hung with tapestries.
Warren had said that the Gardeners
lived rather well, but this palatial
grandeur was most dsconcerting.
Relieved Of her wraps, with confused
uncertainty Helen made her way up
the marble staircase. at the top Of
which stood another liveIied servant.
In the white and gold room beyond
were a number Of guests, the women
brilliantly gowned. Anxiously Helen
looked about for Mr.. Gardner. her
color deepening as she waited in shrink
ing embarrassment.
AS another couple entered, the host
ess, tall woman in marvellous jew
eled gown, detached herself from
chattering group and came forward.
She greeted the newcomers, and then
turned to Helen, extending her hand
with murmured fermality and look Of
puzzled inquiry.
I'm Mrs. Curtis stammeringly.
"Just as we started Mr.. Curtis had
lOuS -ulSlullCt CulI 1IOlu WuSHluStOu,
and had to 60 back to the Office. He
said he knew you'd pardon him-he'll
be here before dinners over"
"Oh, certainly" vaguely, passing on
to greet other guests.
Everyone seemed to know everyone
else. Only Helen stood in isolated con-
spicuOusness. From the invitation she
had thought 1t was to be an informal
dinner party with only few guests,
but there were at least SO people here
now.
Talking with group under a gilt
terlng chandelier, Mrs. Gardner kept
glancing toward her. There was a
aloofness, almost hostility, in
her gaze. Was it because of Warren's
delay?
Now she had moved toward the
door and was speaking to the footman.
the man shot Helen swift,
suspicious glance.
