GET BEHIND HOOVER.

At the outset of his food conserva-
hon campaign Herbert Hoover. the
RATIONAL food dictator. made six big
eouests of the : American people.
These were: :
I. To eat one wheatless meal day.
3. To eat beef, mutton or pork not
more than once day.
.. To economize in the use of
putter.
A. To cut the daily allowance of
ways.
5. To eat more vegeta bles, fruit
md fish.
8. To urge in the home or the res
economy.
Concerted action on the part of
men and women all over the United
States will be the only means of bring
requests. Just so soon as the men
md women of the country realize
the value to be derived from living up
to war time econom just so soon will
the nation begin to take its place with
the warning nations. Of the world
There must be personal sacrifice at
this time. 1t is not. a very difficult
penalty to eat one wheatless meal a
day. 1t does not require overmuch
sacrifice on the part of anyone to re-
frain from eating beef mutton or pork
more than once a day. To economic
u the use Of butter is q simple prac-

TAKE INTEREST.

At the present rate of returns to
month in which to complete the list
Of names of all those New Britain
boys and men who have answered the
call to the colors. This should not be
evinced in the local soldier boys to
make a complete list available at this
time. The work in hand is simple.
If any one knows of man or boy
or the national guard let that per-
son fill out one of the blanks which
appear in the Herald from day to
day and send the data to this office.
Parents should be the first to answer
to this request. Relatives are next
in line for such service. Failing to
get this information from parents or
next to kin. the Herald will ap-
preciate any help rendered by friends
of the boys.
There are New Britain boys in
Uncle Sans Navy. There are men
in the regular Army. There are two
full companies of national guards
men. The latter are we'll taken
care of, insofar as their records are
kept at the state armory. The army
men who enlisted before the present
war began have been lost sight of, to
some degree The same is true of
those who have been in the navy for
eight or ten years. The idea here is
to get as many names of New Brit
ain men and boys serving under the
flag as it is possible to secure. There
are many of the young fellows from
| this town who enlisted in Hartford,
| and these are credited not to New
| Britain but to Hartford. We want to
| know where our boys stand, what has
been done for the country, and how
many are taking part in the great
war being Waged that the world may
| be made safe for democracy.
1t has been estimated by a COM
| petent authority that New Britain,
! when the selective draft law calls the
5l3 recruits from this town. will
! have almost a thousand men, alto
| gether, in the federal service. To
| date we are given credit with 327 en-
listments. Our gross quota, under the
army bill has been placed at $40. To
| bring the total enlistments from New
Britain up to this strength there will
| be 513 men taken away with In the
+ month Granted that we have lost
| some credit for cnlistments by our
hovs going to Hartford, we should
nevertheless find out just how many
men we have sent into the ranks,
| either in the navy or the army Inc
wav to do this is obvious. Take IN
terest in the search for this Informal
ton and fill out a blank.

The entry Of America into thu

100000 of the people of my archdio-

there is still much to do. Many have

American Consulate Hit.
The American consulate which has
not been occupied since early in the
war, has not suffered greatly from
the constant bombardment. One
shell pierced the roof and left some
marks Of its explosion, while all the
windows have been destroyed.
In the cathedral itself a great
change has taken place in recent
months. Great gaping holes show in
the roof. All the ancient stained
glass has fallen to the stone floor.
the statues of Saints are calcined and
crum bled; frequent craters show in
the floor; all the woodwork has sue
stumbled to the flames, and at any
moment a big shell may cause the
whole structure to collapse.
Nearly 700 shells have hit the
building. One of them, 12-inch
| projectile, hit but failed to explode
and it now stands on its base beside
| ono of the pillars of the nave.
