'There is a lack of big subscriptions from the people who are able to sub scribe large amounts in this third Liberty ioan,"' said Chairman c. R. Butts, Friday evening. They seem to be willing to let the other fellow do the subscribing, continued Chairman Butts and now we must get after them and get them to subscribe

If the people who are perfectly able to lend the government money to pro- tect the business interests which give these same people their wealth would only subscribe according to their means Norwich would have her name entered on the honor roll of towns whose patriotic citizens have seen their chance to aid the country.
 At the Davis theatre on Friday eve ming the sum of $400 was subscribed were Mrs. James J. Casey. Mrs. Mary Grove and Miss Anna Ward. Willis Austin was barker.

DR. LYMAN ABBOTT ISSUES WARNING
Let Us Make No Mistake Germany Intends Establish Absolute Monarchy Like Rome-Noted Divine Makes Powerful Address to Teachers Convention-Time For America to Wake Up

''Let us make no mistake" was the warning that pr. Lyman Abbott, ed itor of The Outlook, gave at Slater hall on Friday afternoon in addressing his audience at the 42d annual meeting of the Eastern Connecticut Teachers association. '.The aim of the Germans Is to establish absolute monarchy like the Romans of olds A band of brigands has launched it's engines of destruction against civilization"
 School Principal J. B. Stanton pre- sided at the meeting and introduced Dr. Abbott after half hour program by the Academy orchestra under the direction of Frederick H. Cranston. MT. Stanton spoke briefly of the necessity of Americanizing the children of for eign parents who might attend our schools. We must teach them what it is to be Americans. This is the teachers job.
 Dr. Abbott sketched with the brush of a student of world history the pro- gress of democracy in the world from the Fourth of July. ITS. which is call ed the birthday of freedom. Democracy means the reign of the people in re- lgion, industry, education and poli- tics.
 As one walks about in Germany he sees no noverty, no ragged clothes. Why? Simply because it is against the law for anybody to come out on the streets in ragged garments. MT. Girard's book states that 5 per cent. of the German families live in one room. Certainly that is conclusive evidence that the German government does not believe in industrial liberty.
 Nor does Germany know any re- liSious liberty. The very essence of German education, politically and otherwise, is might makes fight" The essence of their religion is the honor due those higher up in author ity.
 We can afford to let Germany have i her system-if she would leave us tc enjoy our liberty, but she has started | with the purpose of bringing the whole 1 world under her rule. Let us make no mistake! The aim of the Germans 1 is. to establish absolute monarchy. like | the Romans of old. It would be hard 1 to believe this, had it not been all tot clearly interpreted by the lurid iighf Of the last four years. There is nc safety in international law any long CT: band of brigands has launched it's engines of destruction against civ.
 ilization: there is a violation of mora l law, which all civilization had agreed upon and accepted; there are scheme!
 of robbery never before seen in tn,

in fact, Germany has violated all the Ten Commandments.
 It has taken America long time to wake up. Belgium and the Lusitania tragedy might have aroused us, but they did not. At last, when a sub- marine came to New London, at our very doors, and showed us what the Germans could tlo, when they began negotiating with Mexico, to invade our country, we finally woke up. Now, the first duty of America is, to make haste!-EWe have poured out our money and food. stinted our coal supply, given our sons, though some of them have only gotten as far as camp. and are still unarmed. We are beginning to appoint the biggest and strongest men in America as heads of things; we have a big job. on hand and we need the biggest men to carry it on.
 We must send our message through press and wire, Make Haste!'
 If the conscience of America is aroused, and we know it is the right thing to do, we shall have courage to do it.
 We must put aside the ambition to 1 lay up money; we have not yet reach ed the point where self-sacrifice is needed, but we have reached that point when we must stop laying up money. The one thing we can do is, to buy Liberty bonds. It is a conflict not between nations, but civilization and into our hands, with all our wealth and manhood God puts the sword-let us draw it until the Ger mans are defeated beyond all hope of repriSal.
 Junior Red Cross. Following Dr. Abbot's stirring ad- i dress, Miss Ruth Dunning, the agent ot the State Board of Education gave an interesting talk on the work of the Ju- nior Red Cross

Everxhedy,s Sentimental.

The truth is that we are all senti- mental at heart, whatever our culture. Even though we appreciate Brahms, shall we not find some pleasure in the repertoire of the hand organ, and though we admire Botticelli, shall we utterly condemn Darby and Joan? There are moods in which Jean Inge- low and Mrs. Hemans are not maw- kish. The thousands still weep over the death of Little Nell, though the critics sneer.-Robert M. Gay, in the Atlantic.
