THRIFT STAMPS.

I've would respectfully call atten- h to the meeting tonight at the hduuarters of the Chamber of Com Irce to stimulate interest in the
 b of thrift stamps. While we ap- bye heartily of such meetings it is natter of regret that they are nec- sary. There is no reason that we sbw of why the sale of thrift stamps buld not continue and increase.
 Nv Britain has always responded
 herously to every call made on it support patriotic and charitable Avements. To buy thrift stamps is be at once patriotic and charita ble ; triotic because it helps the Govern mt in winning the war and char lbIe in that by helping win the war buts an end to the most devastating gue with which the world was hr beset.
 When the final accounting is made, sry citizen of New Britain will and
 buld be ashamed if this city's show cannot compare fayorably with A at other cities have done.

THE GERMAN OFFENSIVE.

Dispatches received during the past few days from the theater of war in- dicated that the German military leaders were preparing for mighty thrust at the lines of the Allies. To- day we read that the offensive has be- gun after a, terrific bombardment lasting for hours, the intensity of which may be judged when we con- sider that the booming of the guns could be heard in English coast cities like Dover and Ramsgate.
 Two facts stand out prominently ill Baker was able to advise the Presi- dent by cable some days ago that an offensive would start soon, and the other is that the British commanders knew just where the attack would be made. In view of these facts, ii is logical to conclude that the American forces and those of our o-belligerents are working in perfect harmony and that means failure for the enemy be- fore he starts. And, although the great loss of life which is inevita b @ during an attack on such a scale is to be deplored. there is this consoling thought: The Germans will never break through. We do not profess to be expert in military matters, but to the average human being it seems safe to say that if the Germans could not 1 attain their goal in 1914 when they l were overWhe elmingly superior to their opponents in equipment and numbers, they are doomed to fail now when the Allies are on at least an equal footing with the kaiser's troops.

 As it Is but a few days now before the city election, a great many are beginning to get warm under their collars, as to who the republican party will nominate for chief execu- tive of the city.
