 Sirance Explained.
 The local committee of the State Council of Defense has made ar engagements for showing war films. The showing of the pictures is a part of the program that has been pre- pared by the council which takes in the holding of rallies, meeting, etc., for the purpose of enlightening the people of the state as to the real con- dluOns of the war. The pictures to be exhibited are actual and authorized war pictures and show real war con- ditions in England, France and Amer rca. They will be shown at the Con- gregational church on Wednesday evening, February G.
 The pictures have been shown all through the state of Connecticut and wherever they were seen they created a great surge of patriotism. They also promoted a better and clearer understanding of the war situation to those who were unable to grasp it's meaning. In order to have the pub- lie understand the scenes and pictures that are to be shown the council of defense has made arrangements for a speaker to be present at the exhl- bition. He will describe in detail the different scenes. He will be an in valided British officer who has seen service on the fighting front in France. In addition to the pictures there will be an address made by the officer in which he will tell of some of the personal experiences he has had while at he front. As yet the name of the speaker has not been divulged.
 The use of the Congregational church has been offered for the event by the officials of the church. The price of admission to the affair will be 25 cents and the sale of tickets will be taken over by the War Bureau, which will have the tickets on sale in a short time. The total seating ca pacity of the church is 660 and when that many tickets are sold there will be no more to be had.
 Soldiers Insurance
 Since the entrance of the United States into the world war and the realization that great many of the families of those men who are in the service are risl1ing the possibility ot losing one or more of their breadwin- ners, the United States government has instituted a war risk insurance which is a project that is intended to protect the families of all soldiers and sailors who arein the service of the country. The government has not left their families entirely without aid and the bringing about of the insur- ance protection is only one of the many ways that they have of taking care of the families. The opportu- nifty to secure this insurance which is in charge of the government, for most of the Connecticut men will ex- pire on February 12. The rates of insurance are very low and are available up until that time.
