CRAWFORD ADAMS RETURNS.
Versatile Wizard of the Violin to Visit
 New Britain Again

The third entertainment of the 191T-1S United Parents and Teachers association course, originally schcd- uled for February 19, will be given in the Grammar school hall on Tues day evening" March D. Many mem-- bers of the Community orchestra have joined the colOrs, so that the or chestra is unable at this time to render any extended work.
 The committee has been fortunate in securing as Q substitute. the Craw- ford Adams company. Those who have heard Crawford Adams on any of his previous visits to New Britain know that he has the tone and the technique of a great violinist and that. in addition, he has a soul, dash, and enthusiasm distinctly his own. His versatility is shown in his wonderful imita ton and his requests to the aud fence to name the pieces they care to hear played The other members of the Adams Trio are also masters in their respective fields. Miss Helen Rumsev Smith the contralto soloist. a pupil of Herbert Vitherspoon. is a charming singer with a marvellous voice. MT. Hudson, the pianist, has played with MT. Adams for years. His repertoire is as ineXhaustible is that of Adams and his accon1pani- ments to the violin are marvols of tone blending.

Plain Talk to Catholics.
(Catholic Transcript

Rev. John A. Ryan. D. D., professor of political economy in the Catholic University of America, thrilled the large audience which packed the audi torium of the Peoples palace. Jersey City. New , erscy to hear him deliver d lecture on The Catholic Church ana Radical Social Movcmcnts' when, di- vcrging from his topic, he passionate- ly and dramatically declared in ring ing tones that he was. above all, a true American, and through he had as much cause as anyone to hate Eng land. he loved America more.
 He asserted that any Irishman who said that America was in this war to fight England's battle did not know what he was talking about and anyone who said that President Wilson had forced the country into war against Germany. in the interest of the capi- talists lSd been asleep for the past five years.
 Those who have followed the ac- tions of Woodrow Wilson prior to the war know that he had incurred the hatred of the capitalists moro than any other president ever had he con- tinuod. "1'he war was declared against Germany for it's cruelty and fight against democracy and because they offered to lot us send only one ship a week across the seas, painted like d barber pole and then to carry only such freight as they prescribed"
 Father Ryan said that he could not resist the opportunity to touch upon the war before such q representative gathering, as he wanted to disproYe the calumntes which were appearing in the columns of certain race pa pers. They were doing more than any thing or anyone else in the country to hinder the government ir ifs prose cutiOn Of the war, he said, and the truth of the matter was that they hated England moro than they loved the United States, and anyone who took that attitude was bad citizen.
 These papers. ho added, Werc clever enough to keep just far enough with in the law to prevent suppression or refusal of the mails. but their attitude was nothing short of treason. TTc then defined what WAS meant by free speech during which he said it was not free speech to say anything that would hinder the government, but was downright treason.
