STATE DEPARTMENT
THANKS LONERGAN
Congressman Has Aided in Agree
ment With Great Britain
Especial to The Herald)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Congressman
Augustine Lonergan of the First Dis
trict has received from the Hon. Rob-
ert Lansing, secretary of state, a let
ter of appreciation of his cooperation
with the state department in regard
to the negotiations looking to the in
clusion in the American army of the
nationals of the associates of the
United States in the war.
In view of the fact that Connecticut,
with the exception of Arizona, has the
largest alien population per thousand
of men of military age, Mr.. Lonergan
was one of the first to take up this
subject so as to have as many as pos
sible Of such aliens called to military
duty, either in this country or their
own
The Industrial centers of the state
including Hartford, New Britain, Bris-
toll, Bridgeport, Waterbury, New Ha-
Ven and Meriden were vitality interest
ed.
Mr.. Lonergan first discussed the
matter with Major General Enoch H.
CroWder, provost marshall general.
Then, for the benefit of the state de-
part1nent and the war department., he
prepared a statement which he incIud-
ed in a speech in the house, showing
the effects in Connecticut of the orig
inal draft law, which tended to make
American citizens not only provide
their quota but also fill up the ranks
necessarily vacant because of the ex-
emption of aliens. Of the 1895 who
registered in Connecticut on June 5,
there were 58,631 aliens
fn ,,+y 1,o Jo4e
negotiations with England and Can
ada, and it is expected that shortly
treaties with Italy and France will be
arranged.
AS Secretary Lansing is considered
in Washington the silent member of
the cabinet, his letter of January 80
to Mr. Lonergan is doubly significant
referring to your frequent calls at
the department." Mr. Lansing wrote,
"in order to obtain information in re-
gard to the progress of negotiations
relative to the consumption agreements
with certain European countries, and
to your request today for further in
formation, I desire to state that we
are now in agreement with Great
Britain and Canada, upon two separate
conventions in regard to compulsory
military service of their subjects in the
United States, and except for a few
verbal changes little remains to be
done except to have the conventions
signed by authorized representatives
Of the governments concerned.
FJ am giving you this information
as am cognizant of your personal in
terest in this matter from the begin
ming, the situation in your district,
and as I appreciate your cooperation
with the department in its efforts to
arrange this matter by agreements
satisfactory to our belEgerents in
tho present war"

Dearest mother:
Your letter of December 4, received
on Christmas day and it was an an
swer to Il prayer that I'd receive some
news from you on the greatest day
of the year. Gee I'm feeling great,
and only aching to get into this big
scrap, so that it will finish soon, and
let US all get back home again. and
to you. I'm pleased to know that
FIR. Teulings was asking for me, and
should you see him, give him my re-
CARDS. This letter from Sr. Beniface was
surely surprise. l wrote to her long
ago, telling her all the news I could
think Of, and I'll answer this letter
as soon as I get to it. None of my
Xmas packages have come in, but T
was satisfied to get IL letters all in a
bunch, and I'm rushed to answer
them.
I've received all sorts of mail dur
ing the last week, and as I was re-
turning from drill, I saw a big u S.
truck loaded with our Christmas boxes
going up to our regimental headquar-
ters, so I suppose that your Christmas
gifts will be here in my own hands
today or tomorrow All your letters
have come in and I've answered every
one Of them as soon as I possibly
could, and during the interval I've
written to you so if everything goes
right, you will have enough news Of
me. I've received one box and expect
the others soon. If I can I'll fill them
and send them back with what I think
you will like. Gee, I'll have some
collection Of stuff when I receive
everything that has been sent to me-
I'm glad that Ed Crowley is in the
navy because [ always knew that he
would be in something. I give Basil
Riley credit for leaving the seminary
if he felt inclined. Don't let anyone
say anything about him because when
[ was at the seminary he was one Of
my best friends. Give him my ad-
dress and tell him to write to me. Tell
Prof Harmon that we wish that he
were here to give us some singing for
Xmas because the chant which the
French people sing is getting mOnot-
| onous. [ sure would like to hear him
play, and he can expect me to come in
the choir the first Sunday I'm home
even if I have to sing bass aside Of
Phil Tormay I'm going to write to
| FIR. Winters tomorrow. I've written
to FIR. McAuliffe and FIR. Downey, and
I'll write to him imme diately. In
the meantime, give him my regards
and thank him for the service flag
I've got to cut this short, Mother, but
I wrote you yesterday and told you all
the news I could think Of Hope you
| receive my package o. K. Pray for
me and remember me to the folks.
Thanks for the pictures. Lots of love.
