 ingenuity in compiling the list of
 people to whom the presidents and
 the governors proclamations are to
 be sent. He did not depend on the
 city directory alone, as is customary
 in such campaign, but obtained from the various church a list of children
 of the parish below the directory age,
 but who come within the scope of this campaign, and thus added several
 thousand names to his list Herbert

 campaign, who is full of push and
 energy, Is taking hold of his end of the paign in characteristic style, and has called a meeting of represen- tatives of the factories of New Britain for Thursday evening at o'clock at the Chamber of Commerce rooms. MT. Pease has in mind a whirIwind cam paign through the shops, and he will have a director in charge of the campaign in each shop, who will be held personally responsible to see tha the factory is covered from floor sweeper to the captain of the indus- try. Frank G. Vibberts, vice president Of the New Britain Trust Co. is push l ing the house to house canvass work 1 in fine shape. The ward chairman have been picked out, and they are busy lining up workers.

RETURNS AFTER
16 YEARS; WAS
BELIEVED DEAD

Like a return from the dead"
is the way several expressed them
selves Wednesday afternoon at the
home of F. A. Kraus, sos Thirty
fourth avenue, when a brother of
Mr.. Kraus appeared at the home
after being given up as dead 10
years ago.
Private Albert j. Kraus, who is
now en- route to a western port is
serving in the navy and has been
in service for a number of years.
In 1906 it was known by his par
ents who live in Geneseo, and other
members of the family, that he was
in San Francisco, Cal. After the
earthquake which took place there
during that year he was declared
dead and has since been regarded
as such.
1t developed Wednesday that ne
had lost everything he owned,
which consisted of a bakery shop
and equipment, in the quake and
then decided to see the world. He
enlisted in the navy without in
forming his parents or anyone who
might have informed his relatives
This step was taken, he said, be-
cause his parents would have re-
quested his return had they known
of his whereabouts. He has made
three trips overseas and prior to
the war toured the world while in
one of the navy's vessels.
Directly on his appearance here
his parents and others of the fam
lily were notified A reunion re-
suited with "a present.
