BOYS TO ENROLL
 WEEK OF JAN. 20

Hartford, Dec. 2S-W. D. Hood, Federal Director for Connecticut of the United States Boys Working Re- serve, has received from Federal Sec retary of Labor W. B. Wilson, a proc lamation setting aside the week be- ginning Monday, Jan. 20, 1919 as na- tional enrolment week for the Reserve. During this week MT. Hood said that Connecticut would try to enroll 2,000 boys.
 Secretary Wilson's proclamation fol- lows:
 ''The importance of setting aside a special week in order to bring to the attention of the young men of the na- ton the all but overwhelming needs of impoverished Europe Is so obvious as to require no accentuation from me. A very large part of the task of rebuilding a devastated world be- long to the young men of this nation. It is not enough that the whole na- ton shall have been mobilized to win the great war; it Is vital that the whole nation shall be mobilized to help broken Europe to it's feet and to set it once more into the paths of a felicitious progress.
 '"The United States Food Adminis- trator has told us that in spite of ev- erything that we can do, or of all that the rest of the world can do, starva- ton for millions of persons in Russia is imminent. The disorders among the liberated peoples of Europe, news of which comes to us daily, multiply the difficulties of the situation and in- crease the need.
 q trust that the young men of the country of 16 years of age and over, not now permanently employed, and | especially the boys in our high i schools, will respond to this new ap- peal as they so finely responded to 1 that other appeal made to them one 1 year ago; that they will enter heartily into the work of bringing relief to populations a@pallingly destitute; and ! that they will join the U. s. Boys ! Working Reserve to finish what has 1 been so well begun. The war has been won. The far more difficult task re-
 mains to secure for the highest inter 1 est of mankind the fruits of victory"

he was but eleven years old, served his first bit when he was twelve and after many repeated sentences in pri- son finished his last sentence at Sing Sing as a man nearly fifty years of age.
 A big business man in New York city has written the story of this strange life in the book entitled "The Wicked John Good" and Thomas Mott Osborne, the millionaire prison re- former has written the introduction.
 The old connection between crime and the police force in New York city is most startling as he tells how al- though known by the police and poli- ticians to be a professional criminal in 1900 he was put on the police force of New York city and for some time operated as a combination criminal and New York city policeman. All men are cordially invited and boys over 1T years of age.

ed about the same time he is report ed wounded severely states that he was slightly wounded and was in the about November 5.
 Extracts from the letters of Private Robarge are most interesting:-
 You said you hoped that by the time I received your letter I would have wollaped a couple of Huns. We'll can't say how many I did for, as they were too far away for us to see which one of us did the damage, but we sure did get them for we passed many on our way. The morning of September 26, was my first trip lover the top" and was at Monforcon, near Verdun. We certainly did give them H, and took many prisoners. One thing they did that would make any man fight whether he wanted to be- fore, or not. I was bringing in a wounded man and a Hun plane flew over the first aid station, and dropped a bomb directly over it. I was wound ed but they did not do a good job, and all have Is a slight cut on the up- per lip. I will be as good as new in about two weeks.
 Tt is such a load to carry souve- mfrs that as yet I have not collected any, but will try to bring you one when I come home. Tell all my friends to write for every letter is welcome
 When in Bridgeport Private Ro- barge was employed as an automatic screw machine operator at the Harvey Hubbell plant, and was well known among the young people of the West End. All his friends are hoping that the report stating that he is severely wounded, should be slightly wounded as he states in his letter.

BULGARS GREET
 ALLIED FLEETS
Statesmen Believe Presence Will Determine Possession
 of the Dardanelles.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Dec. 28-(Corres- pondence of The Associated Press) Bulgarian political leaders profess to be gratified By the entrance of the Entente fleet into Constantinople and express the belief that it assures an eau table and reasonable solution of the interminable question who shall control the Straits of the Dardenelles. The proJ4lm has been the constant nightmare of most of the Balkan sates, particularly of Bulgaria, Ru- mania, and Greece. These countries always have considered the possibil- ity of Russian occupation of Constan tinople to be serious menace to their own national existence.
 This fear was one of the causes which led Bulgaria to take sides with the Central Powers in the war. Later when Russia abandoned her exclusive claim to Constantinople, Rumanias entry into the war on the side of the Entente was facilitated.
 Political circles in Bulgaria are profoundly impressed by the gfddy rapidity with which events of far reaching international importance now are transpiring. The folly of the policy pursued by the former King Ferdinand and his government in Bulgaria has been brought home in a striking manner to Bulgartans by the recent developments. The same feeling is expected to prevail among the young Turks, who prefer ed to trust Germany rather than Great Britain and France although, it is said these Powers and Russia gave to the Porte formal declaration guaranteeing the integrity of Turkey if she would remain neutral in the war.
 The great mass of the Turks, as well as all other nationalities in Fur key are said to be overjoyed to wit ness the termination of the rule of the governing clique in that country and the success of the Entente pow CTS. They now realize, it is said, that Germany cared nothing for the condition of the Turks but was solely concerned with her own commercial and industrial schemes affecting Turkey.
 The general feeling of tranquility IdS Succeeueu the recent IFOuDlOuS times and all political parties re- place confidence in the ability of the present democratic ministry of Bull garia to extricate the co nttry from it's present condition.
 The organization of a society in Sofia to promote the idea of a Balkan Confederation is criticized here on the ground that it is premature.

NEW YEARS AT
 MONTAGUE CLUB

Open house will be maintained by the Montague club III their club room at 33 Cannon street, on New Years Eve, when a reception and general good time will be enjoyed by mem bers and friends. On New Years Day, turkey lunch will be served from i to 8 p. m.
 This club is one of the most unique in the city. It was organized at the close of the Spanish American War, and was instituted primarily to assist and provide comfort for the return ing soldiers of the war.
 Thomas P. Taylor, then mayor of this city, appointed a citizens com mittee to view Montague Point, Long Island, where large numbers of re- turning solriers were being cared for in convalescing camps. The commit tee of active men, headed by the mayor, made several personal visits to the camps, and with money secur- ed by voluntary contributions, pro- vided many comforts for the soldier boys A permanent club was formed and has been kept together during the past years.
 The club, in addition to the rooms where meetings are held, has a fine | tract of land on Oak Hill. This tract which borders on a lake is heavily wooded, and ideally situated for out ings which are held during the sum- mer and early fall. Many men of na- tional prominence have been enter l tatned on these outings. Those who 1 have been fortunate to be the guests on such occasions never cease to re- member and speak of these enthusias- tic entertainments offered by this club

FEATHBRED sENTRIEs.

"Very soon after thet beginning of the war it was noticed that cats dogs, pet and even wild birds, as well as chickens, ducks and geese were aware Of distant battles or of the approach of enemies,'' writes Ladd Plumley in the January number of Boys Life
 "All over the north Of England the keepers on game preserves noticed that the pheasants became excited and squawked their alarm when a naval engagement was taking place in the North Sea. In France the ap- proach of hostile airplanes was fore told by the uneasiHess shown by bird pets. Early in the war parrots were placed in the Eiffel Tower to give warning, long before human eyes and ears could detect the fact of the ap- proach of enemy planes. Very soon, however, the parrots became useless as they became familiar with hostile

WHATEVER BECAME OF PATTIo

According to Phyllis Phillips, in Everybodys for January, Patti lives. not only in our hearts, but really in the flesh, at the age Of seventy-six. in her magnificent castle of Cratg-y-Nos. ten miles north of Swansea, in Souths Wales, on which she has spent quite half a million She lives there with her third hus- band. Baron Cederstrom. and some times, when they feel inclined, they throw open their theatre, a replica of the Baireath theatre, to the coun- tryside and give one of the operas in which Patti once thrilled the world. Until recently Patti was even sometimes prevailed upon to appear at Albert Hall In London for the benefit of some charity, but her beauty is quite gone-it vanished far earlier than her voice-and so, for the most part, she is happiest in her Welsh fastnesses among the neigh bors, who will always call her the Queen of Wales'"

 As Severely Wounded.

A communication from the War Department to relatives of Neil Ro- barge, formerly of Lombard Place, states that he was severely wounded in action Nov. 5.

There has been an unusually large sale of Christmas trees in town this year. Those of our town merchants who dealt in them were unable to se- cure enough of them to supply the demand, even though the price for trees was much higher than in previ- ous years. So many of our young men spent Christmas at home this year that the Christmas tree surely became the popular thing, thus the great demand for them.

PUBLICITY A CURE FOR IMMORTALITY

Publcity'is the one sure cure for immortality.
Vice cannot thrive when the spotlight is thrown on it
The home newspaperldOes to preserve the morals
of community than any other single factor.
An habitual attendant in the courts fears publicity
more than the possibility of being fined Publicity the
preventive of vice.
The home newspaper should receive the unaoyed sup
Of our community.
This newspaper works hand in hand with the churches
in all worthy efforts to make this community better
place. 1t supports all movements tending to improve
ditions.
The churches the citizens and the press should
operate in making this clean town in which to live in
which to bring up our children.
Every one should read this newspaper. Every one
should assist in Kidding the town Of all forms of mmor
atty.
1t would be easy to open a gambling den on the prn-
cpal street of town it not for the publicity that
would be accorded such an undertaking. Illicit selling
Of Intoxicating liquors would be easy it not for
publicity Other nauseous forms of vice would thrive
were it not for fear of publicity.
You can help make this a better place in which to
live far better home for your children by cordial
operation with this newspaper.
You can point out where vice exists This newspaper
will focus public attention toward evil surroundings
Public sentiment will then be aroused No institution is
strong enough to overcome public sentiment.
Patronize the home paper.

a NEW KIND OF FIGHTING.

The United States will have to go through all tht
stages of warfare with Germany that undergone
by our allies except possibly the stage Of actual military
invasion.
Germany had been preparing for forty years and hat
foreSeen many things The rest Of the world good
naturally going about its lawful business took happy
goucy attitude and when the fends Of Berlin let loose
their internal instruments Of assassination and
tion the other nations comparatively unprepared
We have been in the nearly sixteen months; Amer
lean troops have to the point where they have been
able to fight magnificent and victorious battle
large scale Now listen to what General Pershng says
the American people:
I'VE will whip the Huns here if you will smash
the damnable German propaganda in America"
In the midst OF the of big guns the western
front comes almost unnoteed the dastardiy cOwardy
insidiOus German propaganda. The "Other kind" Of
fighting is being waged The newest and most destruct
i've kind Of warfare must be 1t had to be met by
our allies earlier in the war;
One form is the treacherous 'peace proposals" The
suggestions thrown out by the of the Socialist
organs vOrwaers ssnd given out by way Of Holland yes
terday were meant solely give the housekeeping pac
fists chance In fact Of them have already sug-
rested an informal peace conference.
Another form is in the manufactured accounts of the
Marne battle which attempt to make the credulOus be-
eye that the loss of the American troops into the
hundreds of thousands" and that negroes unduy
sacrificed ~7%mVMsN
This report also was circulated byeway of Holland.
Washington quickly exposed the absurdty of the state
msnts The United States government evidently is
Meeting food of Germany lies and intends to
nail them as fast as they come.
The people of America have generously responded
to every ca for patriotic contributions. They have
shown their Willingness to- give not only their money,
but those dear 10 them They have resolved to give and
give and give.
Now. since the new kind of fighting has become in
tensed By the desperate German lords the people
mast be ready tous their reasoning powers and their
foresight so thaths German prOpzganda nay fsilinits

They must see clear through proposition to its con.
