ARMY AND NAVY
UNION is ACTIVE

49,
call to the ex-service men in
Bridgeport and nearby towns was is
sued by National. Deputy Chas.l H.
Adams last week. An army and navy
union garrison is under consideration
here and it is expected that if all the
ex-service men come to the front, that
this garrison will be organized very
rapidly.
It is estimated that there are least
one Thousand ex-service men in this
city and National Deputy Adams looks
/ to ten per cent of them to come for
ward and organize. Any man holding
a honorable discharge from the army,
navy, or marine corps of the United
States. are eligible for membership
Also the federalized national guard of
border. patrol.
! There are many ex-service men I'M
aware of the existence of such an or
| ganization for the reason it is ex-
pected that they will take advantag e
| of becoming charter members. The
army and navy union of the United
States. is one of the foremost semi
| military organizations of it's kind in
] the world
/ Mr.. Adams stated last night that
| he was ready to furnish any informa-
ton regarding the army and navy
union upon hearing from those who
desired same. We have a perpetual
charter and take all veterans into oul
/ fold. Mr.. Adams motto is: "In unior
there is strength" so therefore he
looks for all those that have served
"Old Glory faithfully to send him
] their name, address, branch of ser
vice in which they have served and
the length of their service.

This lady was a doctor and very learn

shrewd, for if Henry tried to get rid
of her, he didn't succeed, for she lived
to see his body borne to- the grave.
Ion July IL, 1866 the first stone was

SIR WILLIAM OsLER

q About ten years ago If you happen
ed to be talking to man forty years
old or little bit over that age and
mentioned the name of Dr. Osler, you.
were liable to get into difficulties. For
it was DR.. Osier, now Sir William Os-
Ter, who was supposed at. that time
to have said that man over forty
years of age ought to- retire and be
ciiloroformed OF course, he didn't
say anything Of the kind, but that is
the way his remarks were construed.
Anyway, Sir William Osler is today
sixty -eight years old, having been
born on July Il, 1849, at Tecumseh,
Ont So you see, if he had preached
such "a doctrine one might be able
to accuse him of not practicing what
he preached. It would be useless to
try to tell in less space than few
volumes of DIR. Osler's accomplish
ments in the field of medicines He
has studied and taught and practiced
at the leading medical institutions in
the world He has university degrees
by the dozens. The King of England
gave recognition to DR.. Osler's
achievements in 1911 by comforting
upon him a baronetcy. Sir William
Osler is married to an American WON
an, who was Miss Graz L. Gross of
Philadelphia. He has written num-
Der of books on medical subjects, all
of which are considered authoritative.
Sir William Osler has been living in
oxford, England. for the past few
years. s.

twenty six, he threw himself enthusi-

Immensely popular with the Roman
populace. While serving his country
politically he developed extraordinary
military talents and gathered about
him an army of veterans. He left
Rome for a period of nine years to

Pompeius welcomed a vast army to

was utterly defeated and fled to

ORANGEMENS DAY

July. twelfth is Orangemen's Day
the great festival of the. Irish Pro-
testants. Whether or not much cele-
bralion viii take place in honor of
the day it Is hard to say because of
conditions in Europe. Orangemen in
America are celebrating the day as
much as ever before. Formerly this
day was bad one indeed to wear
green in Ulster. While the order is
strong in Canada and has lodges in
most of the large cities of the United
States, it is in Ulster that the anniver-
sary of the battle of the Boyne is
celebrated with most enthusiasm.
Orangemen take their name from Will
liam III of Orange who defeated
James II in the Battle of the Boyne
in 1890. The first lodge of Orange
men was formed at Armagh in 1913.
