 The War Bureau, when it learned that the noted English bishop was to be the guest of the Chamber of Com merce at its monday luncheon, felt that the occasion should not pass without the public being accorded the privilege of hearing him, and arrang- ed for the evening meeting. In ad- dition Bishop Gore will speak at St. St. Johns church in the afternoon His topic at all three places will be ''The Moral Aims of the War"
 The War Bureau deems the occa- sion so important that it has asked the city pastors to announce it at their services tomorrow. It believes the eminent divine will be greeted by one of the largest audiences of the year. There will be no collection taken nor any admission charged. The public is invited to hear Bishop Cores mes sage from overseas.
 Rehearsal of the Liberty chorus will be held ct o'clock Monday night at the United Church parlors and MT. Breul hopes that every man who sings will attend in order that the meeting Friday may be given the prper musical setting.

GROCERS SIGN
 FOOD PLEDGES

Hartford, Oct. 19-Incomplete re- turns of reports received by whole salers indicated. it was said at the Food Administration office today that wholesalers salesmen had secured during the past week the signatures of thousands of Connecticut grocers to the Food Administrations fair price pledge card.
 In December of last year an effort was made to sign up Connecticut grocers but many were overlooked in the canvass which this year is being directed energetically by the whole salers themselves. Every travelling saesman is asking every grocer he visits during his trips to sign the fair price pledge and as fast as these pledges are received at Washington, the Food Administration sends out a window poster showing the public that the loyal grocer displaying it is cooperating in the country's enor- nous food saving program and is not attempting any profteering. It is in- tended that this window display cer-
 
 confidence to the patriotic housewife when she goes to market.
 It was said at the Food Admins tratiOn office today that detailed fig ures of the number of grocers signed up would probably be available with in few days and would then be pub lished. After signing the pledge card, the grocer receives a display certifi- cate reading as follows:
 THE UNITED STATES FOOD AD-
 MINISTRATION
 THIS CEDTIFIES THAT .... ........ has enlisted in the service of the Nation and as dealer in the necessaries of life PLEDGES to abide by the Rules and Regula- tions of the
 U. S. FOOD ADMINISTRATION to give all customers the benefit of Fair and Moderate Prices, selling the necessaries at only a Reasonable Ad- vance Over Cost regardless of market conditions, to discourage and pre- vent hoarding and waste, and to CO., operate fully in the Food Conserva- ton Program.

Editorial Comment
LOAN AND WOMEN
(New Haven Journal-Courier.)

(NeW Haven Journal-Courier.)
 AS usual the work of the women in this fourth Liberty Loan drive has
 been an essential of the greatest im- portance. They have been in the
 thick of it since the start. It would have been an impossible undertaking
 had they not grasped the idea and understood the vision back of 1t all.
 The full story can never be told, for no one can ever. measure in words the determination of the housewife who has made domestic duties march shoulder to shoulder with the needs l of the nation. The women have
 made more bond sales in the kitchen and in the garret than men could ev- CT have conceived of. No man ever lived who understood thrift as wo- men unerstood it, and this Liberty
 Bond business is largely one of thrift.
 Especially active has been the states women's committee on the sale of
 which Mrs. Bulkeley of Hartford .s
 chairman and Mrs. Sedgwick the To- cal chairman. Their reproduction ot i The Stars and Stripes the newspaper | of the expeditionary forces, filled as 1t is with the appeal of the fighting
 men for support, graphically illus 1 trated, has pulled many a bond from reluctant pocket. It has been our | opinion for a long time that the wo-
 men have furnished the American vertebrae column in this war. Now we can hail them as the original un- l conditional surrenderists.

HARD WORK. (Hartf0rd Times !

The peril of the submarine has been so constantly in the public mind ever since the Lusitania went down that there is no difficulty in recalling the time when the hope of beating it by some magical invention, of sweep ing it out of the seas at one mighty stroke, as it were, was prevalent and high. After three years, after two years and eight months of contest with the unrestricted submarine, how is it?'
 Up to last week, we had heard less and less about the submarine, so that many had flattered themselves that these wolves of the sea had been as materially overcome as the German army seems to have been on the wes- tern front. The list of submarine tragedies last week is not proof of a new lot of boats on the job, of a re- doubling of submarine effort. Appa- parently they had a lucky week, nothing more. Admiral Sims re- gently gave testimony that points this way. He seems to think the num- Der of enemy submarines about con- stant, ranging from eight or nine to about thirteen, which is as many as Germany can keep in operation as one time.
 Against these there is a hunting fleet of not far from 5000 Nestroyers operating day and night. They have kept after the submarine with eter- nal vigilance. They have kept the underwater fleet from increasing; they have tended to make it slightly decrease. They have ir creasinglS prevented it from destroying ships
 And the point to notice is that this has been done by straight, hard work. The watchdogs of the sea have kept the submarines from their purpose, have kept their destruction at de- creasing level. It has been, all | things considered, wonderful achievement of brave, d0gged and persevering work, and, when some day it's story is told, it will be full of thrills as well as of drudgery.
