CLERGYMAN MAKES APPEAL
Robert Butler of Hartford Exorts People of City to Help Provide Rec rcatiOn For Heroes of the War Luncheon At IElks' Club.

Rev. Samuel Sutcliffe was the first speaker at the meeting of the War Work campaigners this noon at the Ell1s' club where reports showed S179,326 already donated. He praised the war work in France and said: ''The boys were sent to France to kill Germans, and they have done the job well. When we heard the news of their victory we blew whistles, rung bells, and celebrated the victory. Now we have a chance to show our appre- citation and gratitude in a practical manner If a man is not giving whole -heartedly, if he is 1ukewarm in the expression of his gratitude and appreciation, expose him to all his associates,-convict him." MT. Sut- cliffe insisted that convict was the right word to use, because it is a crime to refuse to support the sol dierS to the limit of ones ability.
 ''The boys went out to do their duty, and it has been well done. Now that the fighting is over, idleness and lonesomeness are their worst ene- mics, and everyone knows the temp tations that assail men who are idle in an army camp" Mr. Sutcliffe con- tinued. We should and must protect the men from these two enemies,- idleness and lonesomene ess,-by sur rounding them with the good infiu- ences provided by the societies that are taking part in this great war work campaign. The only way in which we can do this is by giving, and giving to the limit of our ability" he said
 MT. Sutcliffe appealed to the so- licitors not to stop at a days pay. Get every cent it is possible to get in this city. Put pep and zeal into the work and you cannot fail" he told them.
