LETTERS TO HE EDIT03
The Sendoff for the Third and Fifth

Companies.
 l Mir. Editor: The committee which | have asked to take charge Of the send : off for the Third and Fifth companies of the coast artillery, who expect to leave the city at the end of the present week to go into federal war service. is anxious that all people know of the plans which are being made to show the boys that their response to their country's call is appreciated by those left behind.
 While the plans which have been formulated by the committee are sub ject to such changes as the circum-
 stances may require, it is now expected
 that Tubbs' Military band will be en-
 gagged by the city to provide music.
 The two companies of the Home guard
 located in Norwich will act as an escort for the two coast artillery com panies when they march from the ar mory to entrain.
 The committee expresses the hope that all of the downtown merchants the hour or two that the sendof is taking place or at any rate, will allow such of their employees as wish to, to go out and be present during this time. All of the city and town are urged to turn out and join in the occasion As soon as definite orders are received by the two companies publicity will be given to them so that the exact time Of their departure may be known by all, and a signal will be sounded by tire courthouse bell and the whistles Of the various manufactures of the city will be blown two hours before the time set for departure.
 That everyone who wishes may have a definite part in the program, a fund will be raised by voluntary contribi- ton, to be used in the discretion of each captain for such purpose as he may deem best for his conp2nys ben- eft. Colonel Charles w Gale who is chairman of the sub committee which has this matter in charge, as appears by notice in this paper, desires con- trioutions to the amount of S1,000 by next Wednesday night July 25th. No personal solicitations will be made for who wish to give may be sure that the handed to any member of the commit tee the names of which appear in Col onel Gales announcement.
 I hope, as does every good citizen that the response to this invitation of the committee, both in the way of con- tributions to this fund and in the presence of the people at the time when the two companies leave the city. will be most hearty. The response should be so generous and universal that no member of either of these companies, as he goes out, can feel that any of his home city and town is not behind him.
 ALLYN L. BROWN, Mayor.
 Norwich, July 23, 1917.

 Robert just grinned, and all his friends grinned. He can't' they shrieked joyously. He's a pledge. He's a pledge to our society and he has to wear it till we tell him to take it off
 The awful thing was that Robert seemed proud of his disagreement. He did not seem to know how silly he looked. And those awful boys were 9 damant to my pleas that he be allow ed to take it off during the exercises -I am sure it was because they were jea ous of Roberts good looksi'

GIVE THEM A HOUSING SEND OFF

As has been previously said, the ef-
 fort which is being made to give the
 local companies of the Coast ArtiI-
 lery corps a rousing send off on the
 day of their departure for the Sound Notifications ought to receive the en-
 thusiastic support of the entire com munity. The members of these two
 companies represent all sections of the town and in some instances ad-
 joining towns. They are prepared to render such service as the country calls upon them for. They go with the knowledge that they may be call ed up for defensive or offensive ac- tion, that they may remain on this side of the Atlantic or that they may ee sent to France along with other units of the American army. But wherever they go. or wha tever their ultimate destination they go as the defenders of the rights and principles of this republic and there is every reason 10 believe that they will give a good account of themselves
 These organizations have been ready at call throughout the days of peace to do their part in meeting any emer- gency that might arise. They are likewise ready now. with their num- bers doubled. to fight for their coun- try even though such service is need S0 Ofl 1OTG4SH SOlIs anu IL no more than proper that the people of Nor wich and vicinity should do their part 1n starting them on their journey. T. is time for them to demonstrate their confidence in their ability their ap- preciation of their sacrifice their ap- proval of their patriotic spirit and their faith in the courage and convic- tions Of the young men who have long been prepared and are ready today to answer duty's call.
 T. is but a little thing which the people are called upon to do for them in com parison with what they are about to do for the natioH but how ever deeply their fellow citizens may appreciate their sacrifice it is proper that there should be a fitting denon- stration thereof. Give the boys a send off and let them know that all are interested in their mission and the successful accomplishment of the task which they are to undertake. 1 There will be of course other oppor- 1 runities and ways for letting this be | known but the present opportunity | should by no means be neglected. | Don't by any means let it be a half l hearted demonstration of loyalty on | he part of those left behind

no breaking down of the military power

no breaking down of the military power in that country. that the civilians are not going to have anything more to say about it in the future than they have in the past, and that of course means nothing
 As to peace offers, the new chan ce1Ior offers nothing definite, and in that he has chosen to follow in the path of Bethmann Hollweg- As to in ternal policies he was not willing to commit himself, which of course in dicates that he doesn't disclose his ideas because he has not had time to confer with the kaiser and other war lords and perfect them. It shows in other words that he intends to keep the conduct of affairs in his own hands but that is only saying that what the kaiser requires must be done.
 Because a change has been made in the man who serves as chancellor it does not mean that Germany has put any new policy into effect. Mi chaelis is as muck a mouthpfece of the kaiser as was Bethmann Hollweg and it will be surprising if those who clamored for a change will look upon the change in any other light.

Views of the Vigilantes
PROGERMAN USE OF
 NTI-ENGLISH PREJUDICE By Hermann Hagedorn of The Vigi-
 lantes.

In St. Louis a German language weekly is being published which bears the nnocent-sounding title Der Her cid des Glaubens." It is a religious weekly, but nevertheless it's innocence is only skin deep. Actually, it is a virulent fighter for the Kaiser.
 As such. it is more cleverly edited than it's esteemed contem poraries in Prussia; for whereas the editors of .he Prussian papers have again and again shown absolute ignorance of American psychology, the editor of Der Herold des Glaubens' evidently knows the prejudices of the people whom he is addressing. He know that. thanks to our blatant and spread eagle school histories, there is still in this country considerable prejudice against England. This prejudice has, of course been fostered by certain of the Irish and. during the past fifteen years, and especially during the past three years, by the Germans and the German Americans. The editor of Der Herold des Glaubens, knows that no direct attack by him the Uni- States would be tolerated so he strikes at America indirectly by play

ing out twigs and leaves. Nine craters and huge shell holes are full
 of tiny plant life; over buildings now mere heaps of stone. one can see the ivy and other creepers sprouting afresh and gradually covering the ruined heap. So the normal life of natural things goes on, practically normally. in spite of high explosive and poisoned gas and other devillsh inventions. I think that this big fact is one of the things that keep men sane under trying conditions-the fact that the face of nature hasn't al- tered.
 | remember some while ago sitting in shell hole; it was the place I had chosen for my work. and ! was some days and nights there. The show. during which the earth seemed little more than a chaos of flame and burst ing shells was over that is 10 say. the straflng had become no more than the usual continuous but intermittent booming. I was resting, feeling very done up with excitement and fatigue. Presently I heard a small sound and saw a little spot of earth being pushed rp from beneath. I watched and a little field mouse appeared. his tiny. beady eyes locking at me alertly. kept still, and he hopped out and play ed about. and presently the little beg gar was frisking about at the bottom of the shell hole, doubtless intent on stealing my ratlous. When he found that he was not interferred with he grew quite tame, helped himself 70 odds and ends of food and crawled to the amusement of the others who were with me I blessed that little field mouse; think he made every one feel cheerful. playing about in the early morning after our hard nights work.

 It looks very much as if the after math of the GilIigan case would be much Hkes that of Mrs. Wakefield whose death sentence was commuted to life Imprisonment. It is said that Governor Holcomb, hearing he was to be inundated with letters urging the
 communication of sentence for Mrs. Gilligan, wrote Mrs. Glickensderfer asking her to refrain from burdening his office until certain affairs of state such the draft, had been disposed of. There is every indication that the public is to be obliged to go through the same ordeal that characterized the Wakefield trial. It does not seem to be so much a question of guNt or in nocence as the fact that the accused is woman and so should be spared If this same line of argument is to be pursued every time a woman is con victed in this state, it would be a. good idea to have the law changed admit ting discrimination on account of sex The question of capital punishment is one thing and that of sex is another If the public is in favor of abolishing capital punishment, let Us have enact ed legislation to that effect. If the state still holds to the death penalty there is no valid reason why if found guilty, a woman should not suffer the same penalty as man.-M erident Record.
