and cordial welcome, but to me there seems to be something incomplete in the saying that the Class of 1918 ex- tends to you Q hearty welcome Par ents, teachers and friends, you have been with us during the four years of our High school course at all times either in spirit or in person, and it Is therefore not only desirouS but ab- solutely essential that you be with us this evening to take part in our class night exercises, and we feel that you have honored us with your presence.
 Parents, we take this occasion to acknowledge deep debt of gratitude to you. Starting us in our High school career when the dark cloud of war lowered over the countries of Europe, alone, yet have not ceased in your efforts to provide us with the best things in education, furnished in our High school and now as that cloud of war has descended upon us, we grad uate, to go forth into the world, first war class of the New Britain High school. But, Through Trial to Vic tory" is the motto of our class, and a motto which we will try to fol- low out to the letter. True. we will not all be called upon to take our
 
 our country, but those of us who do Anot. will certainly back Uncle Sam Id the Allies to the end in this ti-
 ic struggle which now engulfs the
 'e world.
 UT gratitude to the board of edu-
 n, our beloved principal and the
 lpers of the faculty can best be
 Pessed in the words of one of our
 esmen who said, "All that | am
 Eve to my teachers" This, mem !srs of the faculty, is the feeling of the Class of 1918 which I feel it my duty and my privilege to express to yoU tonight. Many happy and bene- ricial hours we have spent under your direction during our High school days, and it is with regret that we lay aside our books to take our place among the alumni of the New Brit ain High school.
 Although we leave with regret, we have naught to fear for the welfare of the school It has been pleasure for us to rub elbows during the four years of our course, with what we do not fear to term, three of the best groups of underclassmen that our school has ever had the pleasure of gathering together. We leave then with a firm conviction that our suc- cessors will keep up the spirit and institutions of our school.
 "Underclassmen, strenuous days are ahead for you. Many may be your trials and difficulties before you are numbered among the alumni of the school It is then, with great expectations, and with great hopes that we entrust to you the duty of uphoIding the standards of the New Britain High school.
 . ."Tonight the Class of 1918 meets s4te1part We are gathered at the cross-roads, some of us to go to hiwher institutions of learning, oth- ars to take up the more serious duties of life. Although we separate to- night in reality, there is still some fi,tne which will alMaya hold us to-

Loan Posters in Cellar
Appeals That Should Have
Been ON Walls Found Hidden

The Liberty Loan committee COM
planned to District Attorney Swami
yesterday that more than $4,000 large
posters which should have been put up
in New York and towns on the north
shore of Long Island during the three
drives had been found stored away in
cellar at $40 West Forty-frst Street
According to Shepard A. Morgan, con-
troller of the committee, the poster.
were worth $1,000.
Assistant District Attorney Edward
s. Brogan summoned George Buford, of
Hollis, L. l., who had the contract to
distribute the posters to the union bill
posters, and questioned him for several
hours. Mr.. Brogan found that Buford
had contract with the Red Cross to
handle 10000 of their posters. Buford
declared that he did not know how the
loan posters came to be in the cellar.
Mr.. Swami received information that
buford had borrowed $1,70O from
Michael Mccarthy, walking delegate of
the Bill Posters Union. Buford said
the money was used to pay his men
until the Liberty Loan Committee paid
him $500 which it owed him on the
contract.

Unitarians Denounce
Pacihst Resolution

BOSTON, May 2l.-Cries of Ger
man propaganda" "sedition" and "in-
suit to the flag" enlivened the annual
meeting of the American Unitarian AS.
soclation to-day, when resolution was
offered calling for recognition of the
spirit of Christian brotherhood" in a
declaration adopted by clergymen in
Berlin. Following denunciations Of
the, resolution and its sponsor by sew
cral speakers, the meeting, by an over.
whelming vote, rejected the proposal
and denied it the honor of mention in
the records.
The resolution was introduced by
the Rev. Henry w. Pinkham, of Mel
rose. The Rev. William S. Jones. of
Newport, R. l., promptly challenged it.
~ should like to ask the mover of
this resolution" he said, "if this BODY

Has it pronounced the sinking of the

Aldermen Vote to Refer
Question to Board of
Education
Dental Clinics Urged
Division of Oral Hygiene in
Health Department
Is Sought

Despite protests by the Socialist
members, the Aldermen yesterday
adopted report of the committee on
general welfare recommending that
the Board of Education take up the
question of furnishing school lunches
upon such terms and under such con-
ditions as it Geems proper and suit
able" The Socialist aldermen object
ed to the matter being referred to the
Board of Education, contending that
the Board of Aldermen had the power
to adopt such an ordinance.
Since the ordinance was proposed by
the Socialists the Corporation Counsel
declared that the board was without
power to adopt it, and that, under the
state education law, the matter was
entirely within the jurisdiction of the
Board of Education.
Alderman Lee, leader of the Social
,,sit ,st group, objected to the adoption of
the committee report on the ground
that the opinion of the Corporation
Counsel was not conclusive, as such an
opinion could only come from the
Court of Appeals. The alderman de-
clared that the Home Rule act gave
the board power to legislate for school
lunches and ventured the opinion that,
II the original ordinance was passed,
the courts would declare it legal.
"The report of the committee advises
us to dodge the issue and pass it on to
the Board of Education," said Alder
man Lee. "Do not deceive yourselves
with the belief that the Board of Edr-
cation will take this up and put it into
effect. The Board of Education has
known this need for twelve long years
and has done nothing"
The Socialist aldermen introduced an
ordinance for the establishment of
division of oral hygiene in the Depart
ment of Health. The ordinance pro-
vides that the proposed division shall
establish at least nine additional dental
clinics in the public schools where the
greatest need is found to exist, and
establish other clinics as may be nee
essary.
The Socialist aldermen declared that
it was the policy of the present city
administration not only to discourage
the extension of the system of dental
clinics. but to curtail it to the point
OF extinction. The resolution was re-
ferred to the Committee on General
Welfare.

Walker, Of Binghamton--and that Tam
many Hall will have Mr.. Gerard, and
they think that as final choice the
Tammany men will decide to nom'nate
Mr.. Gerard, who will be acceptable to
the upstate conferrees.
One of Governor Whitman's lieuten-
ants, close enough to him to reflect ac-
curately his views, said last night;
Judge Gerard is the man we shall
have to fight in November He is the
most available candidate in sight for
the Democrats. The Governor until
two or three weeks ago. thought the
Hearst Hylan Connors- ammany COM
bination would force the nomination Of
Mr.. Hearst, but the dilemma in which
Mr.. Hearst finds himself, in having to
fend himself and his paper day after
day against the charge Of hostility to
the United States government, has
killed him politically, at least for the
time being.
"The Whitman men, if the Governor
should win at the primaries, are pre-
pared to make hot campaign against
the former ambassador. The principal
charge they will bring against him will
be prohteering in wartime-in that he
has sold too many books, written too
many magazine stories and figured too
consplcuously in the movies"

Urges u. S. to Build
Cotton. Warehouses
Albert Breton, Banker, Fore
sees Trouble in Hous-
ing New Crop

The need of more warehouses in
which to store cotton is brought out
IN public statement issued yesterday
by Albert Breton, vice-president of the
Guarantee Trust Company of New
York. The problem of housing the
crop may be insuperable, he says, un-
less the government steps in to aid
the construction of new buildings.
reconsideration" Mr.. Breton declares
"should be given the important fact
that the present indications are for a
surplus of cotton in storage 100000
bales greater than at the same period
last year when the new crop is ready
to bale in September Unless plans
are made to relieve this congestion as
rapidly as possible the varehousing of
the, new crop will present difficult
problem. Throughout the South cot
ton warehouses are still filled with last
years crop in storage, which has ac-
cumulated through the inadeouacv Of
transportation facilities both by land
and water. ''N
"Both England and France have large
holdings of cotton in American ware
houses which they are unable to trans
port to the other side, although the
need for cotton there is increasing.
An undue financial problem is pre-
sented in this great accumula-
tion of raw material awaiting manu-.
facture and the banks cannot be ex-
pected to carry two crops of cotton
awaiting transportation. 1t IL obvious
that the mere physical housing of the
crop will present insurmountable diff
culties unless the government consents
to take the situation in hand in some
manner
"Cooperation with the railroad ad-
mnistration of the government which
would insure the rapid movement of
as much cotton as possible to New
England factories and public ware
houses would also afford relief.
