CAPT. KIMBALL
WARNS AGAINST
PROPAGANDA

Telling his auditors that they were
the greatest factor in winning the
war, Captain William A. Kimball,
U. S. A., enthused a large audience at
the band concert at Seaside park last
night. He referred to their contribu-
tons to war causes and their sons to
the fighting forces; possibly some Of
them would go under the new draft,
but more likely they would be return
ed to their present work.
After assuring those Of foreign
birth that he believed they were true
Americans, he warned them to beware
of German propaganda and to report
to the Bridgeport War Bureau any,
one they heard speaking disparag-
ingly of the war. He assured them
they would not be dragged into the
case but that the disloyal ones would
go away for long vacation under
government supervision.
Judge A. B. Beers, former COM
mander in chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, presided and referred
to Captain Kimballs record in the
Indian wars following the Custer
massacre and in the Philippine insur-
rection Captain Kimba1l is son Of
Gen. Nathan Kimball of the Indiana
Iron Brigade, which achieved fame
during the Civil War.
At the meeting last evening a dele.

1000 FOR |
VERMONTS OWN HOLIDAY

Today is Vermont's own special
holiday, set apart by legal enactment
for the commemoration of the viltory
achieved by the Green Mountain
Boys" in the battle of Bennington,
fought on Aug. IS, 1777. Interest in
the celebration naturally centers at
Bennington, the thriving little indus
trial city in the southwestern part
of the state, which was the scene of
the revolutionary conflict.
The battle of Bennington was a
negligible affair, compared with the
conflicts of the present war, and
would probably not even be men
toned by a war correspondent of
1918. In one respect a similarity is
to be noted, however, for at Ben
nington in 1777, as in France today,
Americans, men of English blood,
were opposed to Teutons. There the
comparison abruptly ceases, for the
Germans fought under the banner of
England, while the Englishmen were
Yankees of the revolted colonies.
The memorable victory gained by
General John Stark and his Green
| Mountain Boys were against an army
of about a thousand German mercen-
aries led by Col. Baume and Col. Brey-
man. 1t was characteristic of the
| disorganized but none the less eff
! cient control the Continental forces
| that General Stark gained the victory
at Bennington by disobedience Of the
orders of his superior. Stark was a
! man of independent character. who
| had his own ideas as to how he
| should conduct his end of the war
and acted accordingly. In his young
| manhood he had been taken prisoner
| by the Indians, and was adopted in
to the tribe. He fought in the French
and Indian wars at Bunker Hill at
Trenton and at Princeton. Early in
| 1777, displeased because he had been
overlooked when the promotions were
passed around, he resigned his COM
mission in Washington's army and
returned to New Hampshire to fight
| ION his own" He raised a militia
army to oppose the British advance
| from Canada. It was then, acting
upon his own judgment, that he re-
fused to obey the orders of General
Lincoln to march to the west Of the
Hudson. So, after this, he gained
the battle of Bennington, completely
routing the German troops sent
against that town.
Nowadays an officer guilty of such
| characterization would find himself
| speedily hailed before a court mar
tial and discharged from the SER
vice. Instead of censurfng Stark for
his disobedience. Congress thanked
him for his victory.

HEALTH IN STATE
Is ABOUT NORMAL

The State Board of Health reports
that the health of the state this sum-
mer has been about normal. The
number of typhoid cases has been
considerably below the average, and
typhoid is generally considered the
Index of a community's health. In
fantie paralysis, too, is quiescent, there
being but six cases in the state at the
present time. Usually at this time of
the year there are a great many cases
of infantile paralysis and meningitis
and two years ago there were hun
dreds of cases in Connecticut during
August. Whooping cough, however
is slightly more prevalent this year
than is usually the case.

SERVICE AUTOS ARE
CAUSING TROUBLE

Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
Robbins B. Stocked has announced
that automobiles bearing the insignia
Of the. United States army or navy
have been causing so much trouble
on the state highways that he has
decided to take action Immediately
Commissioner Stocked points out that
many officers take advantage of the
official standing of their cars to break
the automobile laws when they are
not on government business at all, and
that it would be possible for an auto
mobilist to camoufage his car with
some military or naval designation
and sthenp roceed to do as he pleased.
Although a state official may not
arrest an officer of the army or navy,
/: he may stop him, learn his name, and
report him to his superior officers. Mr..
Stocked is determined that the law
shall be obeyed, and he is sure that
he will have the full cooperation of
the military authorities in his policy
Of restraining reckless driving, even
though it is done by military men.

it was not read until the men had

THE NEXT WAR LOAN.

The next liberty loan will be big
one, probably as big as the two first
loans added together But there isn't
likely to be any difficulty in disposing
of it. The plant adopted by the gov.
ernment seems calculated to make the
absorption Of S5,OOOOOOO 600 or $4,000.
100000 of war bonds comparatively
easy, when the time comes.
That may be in late April or early
May. The public has been expecting a
new issue long before that. The delay
affords plenty of time for everybody
concerned to get ready for the finan-
cial drive.
One reason for the postponement is
that the money raised by former loans
has lasted longer than was anticipated.
Added to that is the belief Of the gov
ernment that two or three months from
now will be "A more opportune time for
the undertaking. Winter. with its hard
ships, will be over. The fuel problem
will presumably be solved. The indus
trial situation will be greatly improved.
Everybody will be in more cheerful
COllSlI uCLlNG llOOu. ~ DlB iAlAtu VI lNI
will doubtless be under way in Europe,
with our own troops participating That
will add enthusiasm to the loan cam.
paign.
In the meantime the secretary of the
treasury is going to raise whatever cash
is needed by issuing short-term treas
nry notes to the extent of $1,000 600 coo
a month. These are to be bought by
the banks. They will be paid out Of
the money raised by the next liberty
loans. The countrys $4,000 banks will
thus have a greater interest than ever
in working for the success Of that loan.
They are expected to hammer away
with thrift propaganda until the public
is eager for the investment and has
a lot of money saved up for it.
Under these conditions, there ought
to be no question about our third liberty
loan being incomparably greater than
any yet raised by any nation.
