SINCERITY SHOWN IN LIFE
Venerable Declaration That Faith
Without Works Is Of No Avail
Remains True.

An author tells us that sincerity IS
the supreme virtue; but that sincerity
IS not expressed In words-only in
real life. The venerable declaration
that faith without works is dead is
true. And one will see ain illustra-
ton of the fact on every side every
day. The fact is the world does not
live what 1t believes. We noted in a
book the other day that there would
be- little. If any, controversy IL men
said what they thought and felt. This
is surely true. Men differ ms soon
rs they appeal from the spirit to the
intellect. This is because the spirit
deals with the fundamentals and the
intellect with the details. Sincerity
belong to the former. 1t Is more than
an opinion. 1t is bigger than stand.
point II Is where sincerity gets its
influence, which Is the stlll small
voice that comes out of the whirlwind
that roars around every mans life.
But we should remember that sin.
ccrity is not n connection, but a yir-
tue, as real rs a mothers love. They
tue rs real as n mothers love. And
don't mistake sincerity for conss-
tency. They may be acquainted, but
they are not related.-0hlo State

SEEM TO HAVE HIDING PLACE
Just Where Do Facts Go That One

One Of the odd things about what

SCHWAB TO VISIT HOUSATONIC SHIP
 BUILDING YARDS

Charles M. Schwab, director general or the United States Emergency Ship Corporation, who is now reported to be in New London, is expected to be in New London is expected to visit the Housatonic Ship Building corpora ton this afternoon. A great recep- ton has been planned by the officials and employees of that concern and everything is in readiness to receive MT. Schwab. All workers will have half holiday, as MT. Schwab will ad- dress the gathering after inspecting the ship yards. The discussion will mainly lead to the building of more ships and of the work that has been done in other states regarding this work. MT. Schwab, who was recent ly in Portland, Me, stated that he found the ship-building there pro- gressing wonderfully. His only re- gret is that there are not many ship yards in that state, as Maine has al- ways had the reputation for her ship building facilities.

CAPT. BOY-ED ON
 THE JOB AGAIN

With the American Army in France, Aug. 31.-(By The Associaed Press)- Capt. Karl Boy Ed, former German attache in Washington who,wi Capt. Fang Won Papen, former mili- tary attache, was credited with en- gineering German propaganda design ed to keep the United States out of the war and was expelled by the American government, has come out with a book containing a fantastic ac- count of his Investigations" in the United States, according to a prisoner taken north of Soissons. One of the captains most striking "disclosures'' is that the United States entered the war because of secret treaty with Great Britain. He contends that had it not been for this alliance America would have kept out of the conflict.
 The prisoner was thoroughly con- vinced, as he said his countrymen generally were, of the truth of these assertions

OF
 LABOR TO MEET
 AT NEW LONDON
Annual Gathering of Dele gates to Be Held Tuesday
 Important Matters.

The convention of Connecticut's State Federation of Labor will con- vene at New London next Tuesday. tom by a parade and field festivities in the city of New London. New Lon don's parade this year, while it un- doubtedly will be a large one will be necessarily hampered somewhat by lack of transportation from different sections of the state.
 The state parade has always brought to the city holding the convention in past years large gathering of mem- bers of organized labor and their friends. This year through curtail- ment of railroad transportation many of the cities in the state will hold To- cal parades.
 The convention at New London will surely be an important one. Matters necessarily brought forth by war con- ditions will give the delegates a raft of business to attend to. Ira N. Ornburn, the State Branch secretary, being prominent member of the State Board of Defense Council, has been intensive in his work for labor '7 part in the war and to him much of the duties s having to do with the states providing her share of war necessities devolves.

FARMERS WILL BE ASKED TO GROW
 RYE AND WHEAT

Connecticut farmers. who, this year grew about 10000 acres of rye and $500 acres of wheat-a record for this state-are asked as military ne cessity to increase their next rye acreage to 16,000 and their wheat acreage to at least 4,000.
 Secretary of Agriculture David F. Houston has explained that the re- serve supply or carry-over from the 1917 crop is practically exhausted and is the smallest on record. Secretary Houston has recently said that the total exports of wheat in excess of imports, including flour in terms of wheat, amounted to approximately 1OO,O00,000 bushels for the year end ing June 30, 1918. This is in compar- ison with IFS, 100000 bushels export ed in 1917, 236,000,000 bushels in 1916, and 331, 100000 bushels in 1915. It was possible for the United States to export wheat in large quantities in 1915 and 1916 only because of the large wheat crops of 1912-13-14-15, which gave this country an accum- ulation of stocks of this grain. Both the 1916 and 1917 crops were smaller than any crops since 1911 and besides this there was a greater demand for seed wheat and an increased pcpula- tion to be fed.
 Moreover, it must be borne in mind that the carry-over in all the ten importing countries in Europe was practically exhausted this year before the new harvest; that the normal re- quirements of the exporting countries are increasing instead of diminishing; that some losses in storage and tram sit may be expected to continue; and that it is highly desirable that a sur plus should be accumulated as insur- ance against partial crop failure, next year.

lis men refused to attack

said that his men refused to attack when ordered. After shooting ten of them, but without improving their morale, he surrendered himself in disgust.
 Bailleul constituted the western most German advance on the north ern leg of their great Flanders wedge threatening Hazebrouck since the re- cent capture by the British of the town two miles westward. Bailleul lies eight and a half miles to the northeast of Hazebrouck. Seven miles to the southeast of Bailleul lies Ar mentieres, the important rail town, capture of which led to the great German westward dash last spring. Bailleul is some seven miles to the southwest of the southern slope of Mesisnes Ridge.
 Abandonment of Bailleul by the Germans indicates Ludendorff's in- tention to take time by the forelock and retreat from his dangerous Elan ders pocket before Haig launches a drive similar to that which wiped out tile Marne and Picardy salients.
 Happlincourt and Mount Simeon are firmly held by the French, all German counter-thrusts having been crushed. The French captured Champs, three and a half miles north west of Coucy-le-Chateau Champs lies on the north bank of the Aillette. North of Soissons the French brought their lines up to ti-e western edge of Crouy (nearly two miles to the northeast of Soissons.)

Tug Engineer Has
 a Narrow Escape

Clinging to slender oyster stake in a heavy sea Ray Davis, an engine room assistant on the tugboat Glen who unnoticed fell off the rail of his boat yesterday two miles off shore battled nearly two hours for his life, was finally rescued in an exhausted condition and had to be revived.
 According to the story the rescued man told after he had been made com fortable, he was in the engine room of the tug which was towing the barge Basso. He became overloaded and went on deck to cool off. He sat on the rail of the tug and the first thing he knew was in the water. The huge barge nearly ran him down, but in a semi-conscious state he was able to avoid it and swim to the slender oyster pole while the tug and barge continued on their course.
 Davis was not missed from the tug and it was only by accident that he was sighted some time afterwards as he chung desperately to the pole way ing his shirt, which he had removed in an effort to attract the attention of passing boats.

EXPECT 43,OOO TO
 REGISTER IN CITY

The Local Draft Boards have sub mitted an estimate of the number of registrants to Major John Buckley. The number of men between the ages of IS and 46 to register under the new man power bill is estimated to be about 43,725, while New Haven boards give 27,060 as their total, and Hart ford 25,500 as theirs. The War de- partment instructed the boards to base their figures upon the theory that one-third more registrants would enroll this year than a year ago.
 Three registration cards were re- ceived by Board No. 2 from Spokane, Washington. They come from three employees of the Barnum & Bailey circus who are at present on the Paci- fc Coast, and were supposed to regis ter last Saturday with the 21 year old men. This addition makes the total of registrants at that board 4S. The new registrants are Louis Good win, Roy E. Clark and Harold B. Harrison.

WANTS HUSBAND
 PUT IN CLASS l

The time has now come when truant husbands can no longer enjoy them selves alone for a long tirle. Their wives can now call on the local draft boards who are always kind, to help them out.
 One Bridgeport woman, who, fear ing the officials of Draft Board No. might miss him, sent a letter of warning, saying that her husband takes no pains whatever in seeing that she and her child are supported. Her letter begins with a very surprising inquiry. May I have my husband put in Class 1A?" She says her hus- band would not support her and so he ought to give his services at the front. To make sure that he would be of service, she stated that he can drive an automobile.

CHANGES MADE ON
 LONG HILL LINES

The cost to run the Long Hill cars to the local railroad station has been so great that J. Moss Ives, receiver of the Danbury and Bethel Street Railway company, has been contem- plating making a change in the sys- tenn. He stated that passengers on the Long Hill trolley car lines will have to get out at Bethany chapel, and board a Connecticut company car to continue their journey into the city, as the cars will go no further. However, Long Hill tourists may yet enjoy the longer trips indefinitely, as it has not yet been decided when the rew act will be put into effect.
 The company has received a new car of the prepayment type, much like the one received here a few weeks ago. The Long Hill employees take great pride in their two new cars.
