 Stick to your jobs; be able every night to say. Well, I put it over the top today" Don't take days off, the soldier over there doesn't take any such.' 'fEvery day you leave your em- pIoyment you help the Hun; every hour you are away from your work you are giving aid and comfort to Ger many
 Thesse were the keynotes of patri- otic addresses delivered at noon hour meeting to the employees of the Connecticut Mills. at the plant. Tues day.
 The speakers were Lieutenant J. A Clarke, member of the original Prin- cess Pats regiment and one of the seventy-f five survivors of that immortal organization, and Dr. George Veen Daniels, Philadelphia, representing the United States Shipping Board. The meeting was opened by R. J. Cald- well of the company.
 The employees joined in singing pa tSiotic songs, cheered the telling points made by the speakers and. as one per son, pledged themselves to work un- remittingly until peace comes so that, in so far as they may help, no sol dier at thea front nor the army as
 
 they can help produce.
 Lieutenant Clark, making no men, ton of his personal experiences, told some Of the history of the fighting of the famous Princess Pats in the days when the regiment was practically ex- terminated in the hell of the Ypres salient, and of how in one engage ment against greatly superior forces of Huns the intrepid Canadians lost $50 killed and wounded out of 700 men who went into action that morn ing.
 One hundred and fifty remained to l be taken out of the line and back to ] rest billets for reorganization Lieut., 1 Clark said. We had fought that day | with few guns behind us and those were silent. Can you imagine cur con- sternation when, arriving at our rest camp, the first newspapers we saw ] carried heavy headlines telling that | the munitions workers were ci1 strike 1 Then we kneV that our artillery had i been unable to support us because 1 there were no shells for the guns. If | you love your country if you have any | sympathy for our brave boys who are | fighting over there, for Gods sake, 1 work. Do not let it be said that any 1 of them have gone to their death be- l cause back home here, where you live 1 in peace and safety and have nice 1 bed to sleep upon. some have failed to 1 do their duty. While in hospital as a patient at Ramsgate, England. saw German airplanes drop bombs on a group of children on their way to l Sunday school, and five little girls were killed. The Germans would be l here doing the same thing were it not | for the men who have fought so bravely to hold them back for the past 1 four years and as the result of the protection offered by the British feet. l This is TO time to strike. No time to ] take days off. Work and word hard
 and constantly that victory may quick l ly crown the allied cause"
 Mir. Daniels said in part: "I want to make one point clear. I do not come here at the invitation of the officials of this company; neither do I bring
