for some fifteen or twenty employees at Washington. The time has come, he said, when money is needed for hiring experts and meeting other expenses.
 In the absence of an appropriation from the government for this work, the committee has undertaken to raise the money from the manufacturers Of the country. Manufacturers inter ested will be asked for subscriptions Of from s25 to $200. The council ap- proved the appeal being made by the storage committee
 At the present time the government has very inadequate facilities for the reception and storage of products be- ing manufactured. As result of this condition, Chairman Bissell said many factories are being handicapped and hampered in their business by an ac- cumulation of finished products manu- factured for the government.
 Mir. Bissen explained that the gov ernment now is without proper or suf- ficient places to store the large quan- titles of materials being manufactured for tke nation. The committee is preparing solution for. this prob lem. Unless proper warehouses are provided, the eovernm goods will be stored in railroad cars, Chairman 3isseI pointed out, and these cars cannot be spared from the nation g tran sportation without slowing up of business. F5n predicted that the des- perste need of proper stoEage buildings and provisions will soon be felt by the government and the storage committee hopes to have definite programme ready to propose when that grave need is felt
 The council voted to adopt a reso- luton. copies of which will be sent to President Wilson, Secretary of War Baker aHd Director Clifford of the Council of National Defense. urging the immediate appointment of a fed era1 priority board with wide dis cretionary powers.
 Much of the early part of the coun cil's meeting was taken up in con- sideratior of reports by committee cbairTnen of work done and financial statements Provision was made whereby every man on the council or it's auxiliary or sub committees will have a small. inexpensive badge to show that he is giving of his time to thIF service of lis state.
 Chairman Lucian F. Burpee of the committee on state protection reported that the organization Of the Home Guard is completed and the guard Is ready fo rRny service when called up- on.
 The co,iT.ci1 members from various parts of the state reported that in their home cities there has been a large acceleration of the sale of Lib erty Bonds during the last few days, but it is emphasized that there is still need of pushing the sale of tho bonds during the final hours before the time expires.

 Canning and the preservation of the fruits. and vegetables by drying will be the first problem attacked by the committee. A little later in &le year other home economic subjects will be acted upon. Demonstrations will be arranged for in all parts of the state throusH this committee.
 The members of the committee are M. F. Sprague, of Storrs, chairman New London county, Miss Catherine Luddington, Lyme: Middlesex county.

good reasons why the regular army should be filled first and at once. The regular army and the navy form the first line of defense on land and water that these branches should have the immediate and energetic attention of the public. The national guard needs men. of course: but it is important that the first line of defense be re- cruited to full strength at once The war department desires it and it is for the collntry's best interest.
 The regular army offers the man who has determined to do his duty by enlisting without waiting for the draft the greatest advantage of going into war or into camp alongside veterans who have a perfect knowledge of their business and under the best trained officers in the world-educa, men who have made the study of military tactics their Iife's work and who have no superiors in any army By Joining the regular army one will be at once in the hands of professionals who can and will give the best possible training the best equipment and the best su- pervision of health Efficiency is the man who passes the physical test will surely receive training that will fit him for all time.
 You who have registered. many of you know that you are going to put gun on your shoulder and defend your country like man. It is up to you now to decide whether you will wait a few short weeks and be called to the national army and then go into new organizations in new camps of in stru ction, where you will drill, drill, drill, to become a soldier. You all
 know this. Why not attain this title quicker by joining the army now, while you have a chance and a choice of the branch you desire. be it the medical corps. the field artillery the engineer ing corps, the cavalry. etc.2 Your coun- try wants you to begin training today Come across and help your state to fill it's quota. Come not alone, but bring a friend with you. Wake up! Come across, Form a club and come in punches. Be one of the D. Y. E.

be menaced by Miantonomo's release, that the Narragansett sachem should be put to death. He was therefore delivered into the hands of Uncas for the purpose, two Englishmen of Hart ford being detailed to witness the exc
 cution. A brother of Uncas, or per haps a warrior of the Mohegans. re- ceiving the signal from his chief, split the skull of the unfortunate Narragan- sett with a tomahawk. The tradition that JncaS then cut a slice of flesh from his fallen enemy and devoured 1t should be accepted only as such.
 Determined upon revenge the Mar ragansetts again invaded the Mohesan territory in the spring of 1645. Un- cas and his followers were forced to retreat before the superior mum bers of the hostile force and at length to take refuge in their strongest fort on Shantok Point. This being easily de- tended the hoshles resorted to siege, cut off communication by land and water and sought to compel surren- der through starvation. Driven to desperation by the hunger of his peo- pie, Uncas at length succeeded in '1es- patching a. runner for assistance. The enemy'S scouts and in making his way to the English fort in Saybrook Re lief being somewhat delayed the i'm patient Uncas left the fort each night and made his way to the rocky point which projects into the Thames a lit tie above Massapeag cove. There, un- der the shelter of the rock ever since known as Uncas chair, the anxious chief passed the sleepless hours watching the river with straining eyes and listening attentfve1y for the sounds of approaching paddles. At length his vigils were rewarded by the stealthy arrival of a canoe loaded with provisions under the guidance of Thomas Lefhngweil, Thomas Tracy and probably the Indian scout. The boat was silently unloaded and the men and provisions attained the in terior of the fort in safety
 The exuitant Mohegans became nois- fly demonstrative to the astonishment of the Narragansetts, who were un- able to divine the cause of the mid night revelry. The next day at dawn, however, the Mohegans elevated a. side of beef on 9 pole, thus giving no tice Of the relief they had received. The NaTragansetts then realized that Uncas could not be subdued and they abandoned the siege and returned to their own country.
 Uncas died in his wiswam at Mo began. between Norwich and New London. probably in the autumn of 16S3. His body was brought to Nor wich and interned in the royal Indian burial place on Sachem street. The foundation stone of the memorial 10 this celebrated Indian was placed in position by President Andrew Jack son during the summer of 1883.

,Basing his statement on figures
from the United States Department
of Agriculture. Mr.. Howard declared
the grain used in the manufacture of
liquor in the United States in one
year would provide one loaf of bread
each day in the year for each family
in the nation. To this fact he added
that 20 per cent. of the 100000
volunteers for the British army had
been turned down because of raw
ages of the liquor traffic. Mr.. How
ard then pleaded for the abolition of
the bushes as a necessity for effl-
cheney In conducting the war.
1t was shown that Tngland is pay
ing interest on debt of 100000 in
CURED in the Revolutionary War;
that the total war debt of the world
was $S7,000.000.000 until the begin
ming of the present war. and that
the cost OF the first 1000 days of the
present war has been $77,000.00O,-
900.
The compensation which the
United States can secure through the
present war is abolition of the Ii
quor traffic, the speaker declared,
pointing to the political and religious
freedom and abolition of liquor in
Russia and the wiping out of class
distinction in England as world gains
resulting from the great upheaval.
