SOLDER ENDORSES
 PRESIDENTS NOTE
Sergeant Anderson Considers His An swer to GeTTnany's Whine for
 Peace His Best Message.

Perhaps one of the most learned and interesting letters ever received here concerning the present condi- t1ons in France is the one accompany ing this introduction and which was written by Sergeant s. H. Anderson, Company H, 29th Engineers, Ameri- can EXpeditionary Forces:
 Don't worry, Edith, this thing will be over long before Julius will have a chance to get up to the line. By the way things look fine from this end and the Kaiser is about ready to ac- cept any peace terms he can get. In todays paper the leading story was President Wilson's reply to Germany's demand for peace. I believe it is the most wonderful note our president sent out and no doubt there are one hundred million more of the same opinion. Why should we quit now when we have the Hun in full re- tract? It would be an injustice to the men over here to call them off when they at last are accomplishing what they have been fighting for the past four years. They have taken the dirty end of this war for four years; why not give them a taste of sweet re- VengeH
 About the hardest battle I have on my hand >nOW is to find something to send you for Christmas. I'm going to send you something but what 1t is I haven't the faintest idea. I have a couple souvenirs picked from the bat tie field which I intend to send home, but at the last moment an order came through which said it couldn't be did. I have a German gas mask with the soldiers name, Wilhelm Mil Ter, in it mad a German Hmm. shell with a, Flower of France engraved on it's side. All I want is a German Iron Cross and then they can end this war any time.
 Some time ago we were issued coupons which entitled us to one Christmas package from some one in the states. I mailed mine to Billie" with a request that he send me a "V' neck Jersey and a pair of lined gloves"

MERCHANTS DISCUSS
 CHRISTMAS BUYING
Anxious to Fall in Line With
 Government Policy

The dry goods merchants of the city met this afternoon at o'clock at the Chamber of Commerce to discuss Christmas shopping and buying. The National and State Councils of De fense have urged the shop carly movement.
 Although the government desires the purchase of useful presents only, except in the case of gifts for chil- dren it does not desire to regulate purchasing in such a manner as will Unduly interfere with business. It asks that the people observe the war time interests of the nation and real 1zing the shortage of help in the stores to begin now to do their Christmas shopping. The dry goods interests in New Britain are anxious to follow the recommendation of the gov ernment and will make plans this af- ternOOn to conform to the request.
 Mercantile Bureau Directors.
 Tomorrow evening at o'clock the Mercantile Bureau will meet to elect directors for the coming year. A meeting was held last Tuesday but owing to the epidemic only a few at tended. A full attendance is expected at the meeting tomorrow night. A Tuesday evening service committee will be appointed to make plans for work to be udertaken during the next few months.
 Membership Campaign.
 The Chamber of Commerce mem- bership campaign is progressing and much effort is being made by various members to bring in representatives from many of the places of business that have allowed their membership to lapse. Noah Lucas who has charge of the campaign, together with George Dyson, Samuel Menus, E. H. Christ and G W. Troupe are determined that a good showing will be made Wednesday when the campaign closes. Those who are desirous of becoming members and wish to send in their own names can secure an applica- ton from Secretary l.. 4. Sprague.
 Grocers Meet Thursday.
 The grocers of New Britain will meet at the Chamber of Commerce for meetings to be held once a month will be changed and committees ap- pointed to carry on the program for the year. It is hoped to have a speaker at the meeting who will bring up an important question on protection from petty thieving to the attention of the members. Those who have not already joined the associa- ton will be accepted at the meeting.
