The Effect

The German war party spent millions of dollars trying to keep
the United States out of the war until the HUNS had defeated
France, Russia and Great Britain. German spies and plotters with
out numbers were scattered all over this country to make Americas
war effort less effective cover there and many of them still are
laboring along that line.
The same sort of plotting has been going on in France and Great
Hlitain.
But the mad war party in one moment destroys all the work of
its plotters and propagandsts-. BY sinking a hospital ship it offsets
the work Of a thousand plotters. Bombing hospitals strengthens the
arm and determination Of our Fighting men in the trenches and
auckens other millions into greater effort in American shipyard,
field, factory and home. Staying wounded men and numbering non
eombatants nullifes the paciAst preaehings of pro-Germans, plotters
and Socialists. The effect of Hunnish terr5ism is not what the kaiser
hopes for. 1t makes us want TO fight all the more.
Had it any other effect upon us we would not deserve to be a
free people. If ii frightened us into less war effort we would deserve

Today We Celebrate
Silver Wedding Anniversary OF Eug'
fish ROYAL Connie.

ush Royal Couple.
King George v and Queen Mary will
celebrate today their silver wedding. 1t
was on July 6, 1893. that Princess Vic
toria Mary of Teck became the
bride of the future monarch. The
present King is the first of the five
Georges to achieve domestic happi-
ness. for every one of his predecessors
of that name were involved in love
affairs that were sometimes tragic
and sometimes scandalous. In tenn
permanent George ". and Mary are
very much alike. Both are domestic
In their tastes, and devoted to a quiet
home life. Both dislike gambling. to
which three of the former carrier
Georges were passionately devoted.
Queen Mary was engaged to marry the
Duke of Clarence, Georges elder
brother, but that Prince died suddenly
In 1892, n George, who thus became
heir presumptive to the throne, sought
and won the hand of princess May"
George l., the elector of Hanover.
who became King of England and
rounded q new dynasty q little over
two centuries ago, was very unhappy
in his domestic relations. He divorced
his wife Sophia, whom he accused OF
intrigues with other men, and Inn
prisoned her in the castle at Ahlen.
where, after q close confinement of
thirty-two years. she died In 1923. The
first George died the following year.
George III was involved in many ir-
regular love affairs. Queen Caroline
received but scant attention from him.
Duchess OF Yarmouth was one of
his favorites. A contemporary Eng
fish writer describes George II as "a
coarse. vulgar-looking German, with
bloatod cheeks and belly, q blotched
nose, and q beastly and volptuous
eye."
OF George III 1t has been said hat
he made open and violent love to
the Queens maids of honor. The
fourth George was even more unfort-
innate In his domestic relations than
his predecessors. He hated Queen
Caroline. and in 1905. while Prince of
Wales. he made charges against her
which resulted In what was called he
delicate investigation" The charges
against her were disproved, but in
1913 the King renewed them. They
were again disproved. In 1914 the
unfortunate princess retained to her
childhood home, but when George ~
assembled the throne in 1920 she
claimed her rights as queen. Another
trial resulted, but the Queen died in
1921, and left George free to devote
his entire time to the beautiful Mrs.
Fitzherbert and other fair chfarmers.
Many volumes have been written to
prove that Mrs. Fitzherbert was the
legal wife OF the king, and that she
was rightfully entitled to be qeen. II
is certain hat she did not yield to her
lovelorn royal wooer until q secret,
but perfectly legitimate. church mar
rtage had been performed.

APPEAL FOR SUPPORT
OF THE PRESIDENT
Democratic Candidates Address Rally

cans to Speak Tonight.

Thomas J. Spellacy, democratic
candidate for governor; Congressman
Augustine Lonergan, George NJ.
Landers, Senator Herman 2. koppel-
man Of Hartford and Harry T. Brooks
of New Haven spoke at q rally yes
terday afternoon in Ukrainiaa hall.
Most of those present were of the
Jewish faith and Brooks and Kcppel-
man accused Governor Holcomb Of
bad faith il not issuing a public pro-
clamation calling for the support Of
Jewish relief work.
Mr.. Spellacy reviewed the record of
the democratic party during the war
and said Germany would consider it
hopeful sign if the voters sent a re-
publican majority to congress on No
vember and it would be interpreted
as a reputation of President Wilson,
policies. He said the president, as
the commapder-in-ch chief Of the army
and navy, should be supported.
Congressman Lonergan spoke in the
same vein as Mr.. Spellacy, saying it
behooved every voter to cast a ballot
which would guarantee the support of
President Wilson. He spoke of the
vast army that has been modified
and sent into action under a democra-
tic administration and he also told
of the strides made in the construc-
ton and laun ching of ships both for
the navy and for the merchant ma
rine.
Mr.. Landers asked his auditors to
support President Wilson. He re-
ferred to a line in an advertisement
published in behalf of his rival,
Senator George w. Klett, which says
Mr.. Klett is a resident of New Brit
ain 365 days in the year. Mr.. Lam

MEDIATE SHIPMENTS
DIRECT BY PARCEL
POST.

This advertisement IS written on
Monday, October 21st. 1t is directed
to the attention of all distributors of,
Vicks VapoRub, both wholesale and
retail. In an emergency such as the
present epidemic-our duty-and your
duty-is to distribute VapoRub in
the quickest possible manner to those
sections stricken by Influenza. We,
therefore, call your careful attention
to the following:
DANGER OF SHORTAGE If
SUPPLY Is NOT CONSERVED
On October list we had on hand at
our Factory and in twenty warehouses
scattered over the country, sufficient
VapoRub to last us, we thought, until
January 1st allowing for a SO per
cent. increase over last years sales,
and not counting our daily output.
This big excess stock had been accu-
mulated during the summer months.
Then this epidemic of Spanish In
f1uenza hit us-and in the last 10 days
this stock has vanished At first we
thought this tremendous demand
would last only a few days, but the
orders have run:
We'd, Oct. Is 80. 1864 Doz.
Thurs, Oct. IT 49,. 25,323
Fri, Oct. Is ..--. 1926
Sat, Oct. 10 49,. 45,833
Mon. Oct. 81 49,. 77,705
Up to Saturday, October 10th, we
have actually shipped for this month
4o0,284.1O, or over two million jars
of VapoRub.
THE PROBLEM NOW rs TO
DISTRIBUTE yAPORUB QUICKLY
Most Of this tremendous quantity is
still en- route to the jobbers, but
freight and express are both congested
nowadays, and it may be some time
before this supply reaches the jobbers.
In the meantime, therefore, it is
necessary that we distribute as widely
as possible, the stock that we are
manufacturing daily, together with
that now on the jobbers and retailers
shelves, in order that it may get to
the Influenza districts quickly. Our
normal output is about 4,O00 dozen
per day. We are putting ON night
shift but it will be a little while be-
fore that is producing.
WHAT WE ASK THE WHOLESALE
DRUGGIST TO DO
Last Saturday we notified all of our
jobbers, by Special Delivery, as
follows:
1st-Deals and quantity shipments OF
all kinds are cancelled. Fill no
quantity orders of any kind,
whether taken by our statesmen or
by your own. Sell in small lots
only.
2nd-Order from us In as small guam
