Willia m Kennedy. whose death oc- cured this morning at his home on Oak street, was one of Naugatuck s most prominent citizens and man whose place in the community will be hard to fill. He always had the best interests of the borough at heart and did much for it's advancement. As an attorney at law he showed great ability and was very successful in the raCtice of his profession. In politics he was a, lifelong democrat and was always true to the principles of that party. He was honored by election to office not only in Nauga- tuck. but had also served as a sen stor of his state and a, member of the sixty-third congress of the United States. Tn all the offices which he held he performed his duties in an able manner and with credit to him. self and to the communities which he represented. He was a man whd will be greatly missed.-Naugatuc

THE NAME OF BERLIN.
Agitation Wasting Ammunition Or, .Srarrows, Charles H, Aspinwsu
 Writes

To the Editor of the Herald =
 People in surrounding towns from time to time, seem to be much exer- cised over the name of Berlin, Now there are many inconveniences con- nected with the changing of an old established name, particularly Of , town. For one, I fail to see any sen- sible reason for such a chance.
 Efforts of this nature look very much like wasting ammunition on sparrow" when there is plenty of large game in sight. If we are usin e all our energy in effective help on the war contract we have in hand I think we will find little time or thought to waste on such a trif1e as 8. similarity of names between places here and in Germany
 When we have made it. unlawful +o teach the German language anywhere except in higher institutions, when we have forbidden the printing and circulation of German publications. when we have required every person of German blood to openly declare his loyalty, when We have interned all who will not do so for the period of the war, and returned them to their beloved fatherland after tho war is over, then there will be time enough to consider the changing of old established names because there is another like it in some of the countries with which we have been at war.
 It would seem that we are incon Venienced enough on account Of Ger man lunacy without making useless trouble for ourselves
 If any person can show me how the chaneing of the name of this town will help win the war. 1 will be the first to advocate the move, until then l believe l voice the thought of d. majority of the people of this town when I say let the name remain as it is.
 We certainly have as good right to that name as Germany has.
 Let the editor of the Meriden pa- per look after his own town. I will venture to say, there is more than one street in that city with a German de- rived name. Has he advocated that these be changed? ? Has the name of Hanover park been changed 2 There is just as much sense in changing these names as in changing the name of Berlin. To advocate these things looks like 8 very cheap sort of patriotic bun

financing the war on a large scale. they have purchased thousands of dollars worth of Liberty Bonds and that they have given generously to the Red Cross. And they tell those who ask them to buy War Savings Stamps that they are waiting for the Fourth Liberty Loan to make their next investment because that is more in proportion to their means.
 Remarks of this nature have act,l- ally been heard right here in town. Those who uttered them labor, of course, under a delusion. Their hearts are in the right place but som ething's wrong with their purses, If they are inclined to ignore War Savings Stamps because of their small denona- ination, let them join the Taft club, established by the former President, who specified that those desirous of belonging must purchase s1,000 worth of War Savings Stamps. If they obtain membership in such club they will have an opportunity to see that the small denomination of the stamps does not limit their sale in any way. There is nothing under the sun which prevents a man, who has the necessary means, from pur- chasing one. two five or ten thousand dollars worth of such stamps.
 Therefore, 1t behooves those who have hitherto regarded the War Say ings idea as something for the man matter over. And then to join the Taft club.

UPRISINGS IN AUSTRIA.

While there is nothing which would he more welcome, we must not inter- pret the uprisings reported as having occurred In Vienna as a revolution There is, of course. something vitally wrong. The Austrians are sick of war, they are hungry, and want peace. They have stoned the premier's house and have committed other acts of vio- lence which tend to show that they are ripe for rebellion, and open revo- selves and think that Austria is now out of the reckoning. Germanys principal ally will not be a negligible factor until the rebellious spirit which prompts those at home to acts of Vio- fence has spread to the army When those at the front begin to revolt against their leaders, then we may consider Austria to be following in Russia's footsteps, Then revolution will reign and Austria, or rather tho people of Austria will be willing to
 
 Allies. We must be patient Every day the situation on the Italian front improves. The Austrian drive has been a miserable failure. It was prompted in the hope of the giving the people at home bit of consola- ton, had the attack been successful But now the Austrian military leaders are worse off than ever. They have lost ulany men, and have nothing to show the people as the fruits of the offensive. Mobs in Vienna are clam oring for bread, and riots will con- tinue to occur. Once the soldiers at the front become aware that they have not the support of the people behind them, their morale will suffer. and they will be infected hv-t11e rev olutionary spirit Then we can ex- pect Austria to quit But not until then.
