EDen Spa1Qlng, son or Augustus | Spalding, died at his home in the town | of Brooklyn. Friday morning. The | young man, who had been ill only a | few days, was an employe of the Con- | necticut Mills company in Daniefson. ! He had lived in Brooklyn practically | all his life.
 More than 1000 people were gath | cred about the Liberty loan trophy | train at the Danielson railroad station at noon Friday, and additional hiln- dreds went through the cars. inspect ing the many war-making implements that have been wrested from the Huns by valiant American fighters lover there" That train certainly did stir up a wealth of enthusiasm, and the addTsss- es that were made in behalf of the Liberty loan by able speakers thrilled | the big assembly and undoubtedly will result in speeding up bond safes in the Danielson district.
 It was 11.3O, a half hour after the announced time when the train was
 backed onto the siding: at the freight
 station and almost immediately open ed for inspection. The crowds
 thronged about the station platform and entrance to the baggage car in such numbers that it was necessary to | l the train on! duty there, and to keep the people going through in single file. which seemed never ending and trail- l ed on for more than two hours. In the meantime the speakers were | telling the crowd real reasons why l they should buy bonds, and buy to the | limit of their available resources. The speakers represented three great na- l tions that are now hust1ing the Ger | 1y1if tad
 States, Great Britain and France. What they had to say frequently stirred the crowd to enthusiasm and
 there were hearty cheers top unctuate l the good points made. Perhaps the
 most thrilling moment of the entire | proceedings was when those in the I crowd who had relatives in the ser vice were asked to so signify by hold
 dng up tl.Fr right hands. A veritable 1 forest of arms, of men and women and
 children, shot into the air, and even
 those who think they know their Dan- l ielson well were amazed by, the per
 centage of persons present who are represented in the fighting forces of Uncle Sam. And all of these, repre- | sentative of almost as many nations | as there were allied flags fiuttering | from the Liberty train before them.
 with hands uplffted solemnly repeated 1 their pledge of loyalty to America and all the ideals it stands for and prom
 ised loyalty in all feryor to the end | of their days. Pity the German synnpa- ] thizers that witnessed that scene-if any such are entitled to sympathy!
 The train that came here was in | charge of Charles F. Johnson, repre- l senting the Liberty loan committee of | New England. The speakers included | MT. Johnson, Lieutenant Ralph Lewis, 1 25tn Canadian overseas battalion,- a | young man who enlisted as a private, | fought through the dreadful battle Of l the Sornme, where there were 500,000 l casualties on the British side alone,
 was decorated for bravery and pro- i noted to a ieutenancy. Lieutenant l Lewis decoration, the military medal,
 was bestowed by King George.
 Interpreter Lebert two years in the | French army, and winner of the CroiX de Guerre, spoke on behalf of France. I A stirring address was given by Rev.
 W. A. Keefe, pastor of St. Johns
 church, Plainfield.
 l Also with the train were Private
 Verly, member of the famous French l Foreign legion, three years in the ser
 vice and through the hell of Verdun, | wearing upon his uniform the Croix de
 Guerre. Another soldier with the train l was Private Raymond Schwartz of
 the 109th United States Infantry, 18th
 Division. a young man who fought at I Chateau Thierry and Fishes and who
