The school children to date have turned in $40.30 and an additional amount will be turned in before night.
 A record has been kept of all those who contributed or refused to donate to the fund by the workers who car ried on the house-t house canvass. Reasons given by those who refused to help in the work are also being kept on file. Practically every man and woman and large number of children in the town gave generously and as much as they could afford. Many touching instances are told by those who helped in the campaign. An interview with one old lady was strikingly impressive. When one of the canvassers visited her house and asked for a donation for the boys in the service she replied that although she did not possess much worldly good she wanted to do her "bit." And she did. She handed the worker a small contribution which was in real ity more than she could afford. Other instances are told similar to this one and which show the spirit which pre- dominates the people of the town. In many cases many sacrificed to help the fund along.
 The work was, however, not with out it's humorous side. One of the more industrious canvassers visited a certain house three times. He thought 1t strange that no one answered to his knocking on either of his visits. Later he found that the house was untenanted and had not been occupied for some time.
 Chairman Wheeler wished to thank the workers for their tireless efforts made during the campaign and for their help in bringing the issue to a successful conclusion. He also stated this morning that he wished to ex- tend a vote of thanks to the press.

 Miss Hall to Play.
 In connection with "The Old Pea body Pew a charmingly quaint play to be given in the Berlin church next Tuesday evening, Miss Mary s. Hall has consented to arrange a musical tions and songs by Charles Allen and Miss Stella Yeaman and an overture by the choir of the First Methodist church of Meriden.
 The play depicts the struggle of the faithful Dorcas society of 50 or 75 years ago to care for their old church. The people of the present day who have wrestled with the prob lems of the furnace committee, the organ committee and the church cleaning committee will sympathiZe l with the arduous efforts of these old time ladies and rejoice in the final mastery of their problem of carpeting the empty pews of their dear old church. Within the play $ woven the charming love story of Nancy Went worth, her cat Zekiel and Trustee Pea body. The costumes worn by the players are old gowns and the bon nets and shawls date back many q year. The play will be introduced by some old-time songs by MT. Allen and Miss Yeaman. The program promises much amusement and pleas ure.

 To race another autoist for several miles, and to have your. engine tuned up so that you are travelling at high rate of speed and then suddenly find that you have been racing with a state policeman, is not a grand and glorious feeling, according to Charles r. Stevens, a steel manufacturer Of Boston whose home is in Brookline. Mass MT. Stevens was arrested late yesterday afternoon in Berlin by State Policeman Verelli and will appear be- fore Judge George G. Griswold on Tuesday morning to answer the charge of driving his Packard car at reckless rate of speed.
 Officer Verelli was returning to his home in Hartford after a visit in Bridgeport, when the Massachusetts machine tried to pass. It is said that the two cars raced along until Worth itpgton Ridge was reached, when the Boston man slowed down. He was then arrested by the officer for speed ing. It is reported that Policeman

TRUE AMERICANISM.

President Wilson made some remarks the other
day for the benefit of men like Kaufman when in
commencing the conference of the American
Alliance for Labor and Democracy, he declared
that while our soldiers and sailors are doing
their manful work to hold back reaction in it's
most brutal and aggressive form, we must oppose
at home the organized and individual efforts of
those dangerous elements who hide dislovaltv
behind screen of specious and evasive phrases -
His remarks are intended primarily for the So
called Peoples Council Of Peace, but they are
mighty apropos to the situation which developed
here last Monday. For with the fine Americanism
that permeates his every thought and word and
deed-Americanism which put to shame men like
Kaufman and their sponsors-the president went
on to say:
1T has not been matter of surprise to me that
the leaders in certain groups have sought to
ignore grievances against the men who have
equally mised the German people. Their insist
that nation whose rights have been grossly
violated, whose citizens have been foully MUIR
dered under their own flag, whose neighbors have
been invited to Join in making conquest of it's ter
ritOry whose patience in presenting the claims of
justice and humanity has been met with the most
shameful policy of turbulence and treachery, their
lnSlStence that nation so outraged does not know
its own mind, that it has comprehensive reason
for defending itself, for joining with all its
might in maintaining free future for itself and
its ideals is of piece with their deafness to the
oft-repeated statement of our national purposes
But true Americans, those who toll here
for home and the hope of better things, whose
lifted eyes have caught the vision of liberated
world, have said that Of the policy of blood and
iron there shall be an end, and that equal justice
which is the heart of democracy, shall rule in it's
stead"
The American people are pledged to that accom-
plishment and they will brook no interference, at
home or abroad. ~

PRAYING FOR RAIN.

The lumbermen of the state are praying for
rain, for they figure that good heavy downpour
will break up the Jungle camps" where they say
lot Of the strikers have been alternating this
summer, will soak them good, make it little
harder for them to get something to eat and so
induce them to 60 back to work. And they figure,
too, on slump in the labor market when the can
torment at American lake is completed and ten
or eleven thousand men now employed there start
out to find something else to do and the same
thing when the thousands Of men employed in the
mines and canneries of Alaska come back to the
States for the winter.
perhaps they have the right 'hunch' on this
situation, perhaps they will break the strike, as
they have set out to do. But the thing We fear,
the development we feel sure is bound to come in
three or four months. if the men 60 back to work
soon on the old basis, is that when they get
little stake" again there will be another strike
and perhaps one not SO peaceable as this That's
why we would like to sec it settled now and on
basis nearly satisfactory to all concerned as
possible.
