NO LOAN HOLIDAY IN THIS STATE
 SAYS GOVERNOR Chief Executive Claims That State Can Go "over Top"
 Without It. HAS NO AUTHORITY
 TO SET ASIDE DAY Many of the Cities and Towns in State Have AL ready Exceeded Quotas.

Friday may be 8 national holiday and other states of the Union may make it legal holiday, in which Lib erty Loan celebrations will be held and efforts made to boost the sale of bonds, but it will not be a holiday in Connecticut. Governor Marcus H: Holcomb does not intend to issue proclamation asking that such a day be observed in this state.
 The governor has two reasons for refusing the request of the secretary of the treasury. One is that the governor has not the authority to make a holiday. Chapter 236 of the General Statutes designates New Years Day, Lincoln's Birthday, Wash ington's Birthday, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day and Christmas Day, together with ''any day appointed or recommended by the governor of this state. or the President of the United States as a day of thanksgiving, fasting or reli- gious observance" as legal holidays.
 Since the day proposed is neither a day of thanksgiving, fasting or re- lgious observance, the state execu- tive has no power to make it a legal holiday. Governor Holcomb's second reason for not issuing the proclama- tion, is that it is not needed in Con- necticut anyway.
 He pointed out yesterday that many of the cities and towns of the state have already exceeded thei1 quotas for the loan. He feels conf. dent that practically every city and town which has not already done SC will equal, if it does not exceed its quota, and therefore a special lea holiday is unnecessary.

SAINT GEORGE
 THE PATRON OF
 MERRY ENGLAND

"St George for Merrie England' will be the cry today in Britain and throughout the empire, for this is the festival of the militant patron saint of John Bulls tight little island.
 | There has been so much confusion In regard to St. George and his ca reer, and some of the accounts of his life are farm from fattering. Accord 1 ing to Edward Gibbon, the great Eng l fish historian, this saint fiourished in the fourth century. Gibbon describes him as having been born In a full ler's shop in Cilicia. By his humility he ingratiated himself with his mag ters and gradually rose from obscur- | ity. He was given a contract for sup plying soldiers with bacon, and, by adopting methods not unlike those Of some American packers in the Spanish war, he acquired a fortune. It IS fur ther claimed that, after his dishonest methods were discovered, he had to flee the country Becoming a convert to Arianism, he was made archbisho5 of Alexandria Hisa varice still un- satisfied, he is said to have caused the pagan temples to be footed, while he oppressed both Christians and pa gans by imposing heavy taxes, the money going into his own coffers. The people revolted and drove him out, but he was restored to the archbishop ric by the army of Constantinus. The 1 accession of Julian resulted in Georges downfall. He was thrown into prison, but a mob of infuriated Alex andrians dragged him from his cell land killed him. The body was car ried in triumph through the streets and was then cast into the sea. The death of George at the hands of the pagans made him a martyr in the sight of the Arians. He was said to have fought with the crusaders, and he became generally recognized as the patron saint of soldiers, of arms and chivalry. He was said to have slaughtered dragon in a cave or the left bank of the Danube, where it divides Hungary from Serbia The carcas has remained to this day iT the cavern, according to the super stitious natives, and they declare that the deadly flies which are to be found in that section have their breed ing places in the body of the dragon It is certain that those flies, whicF kill horses and oxen, appear to come , every summer from this cave, ofter rising from the cavern's mouth 1T such swarms that they resemble { column of smoke.
 Most religious historians disagree with Gibbons account of St. George and declare that the patron saint O.
 England was another St. George, whC
 lived about sixty years before the ba
 con contractor. The real Saint, it il
 declared, was Greek, born at Lydds
 not far from Jerusalem and carreit
 Christianity to England about tht year 29O. Later he returned to Syria
 and slew dragon at Beirut He wa
 a staunch defender of the persecuteC
 Christians of Thessalonica. This St
 George was a soldier, and his valo
 won recognition at a later day by twt
 faiths, the Christians honoring hin
 as St. George, and the Moslems a
 Fl Khudr.

OF TOGO AND ROBSON ARE
 CITED BY. PRESS

London, April 24-Articles by naval writers and editorials in the morning newspapers eulogize with natural pride the volunteers who carried out the raid against Zeebrugge and Os- tend and discuss the probable import ance of the enterprise. Lieut. Hob sons feat at Santiago and Admiral Togo's exploit at Port Arthur are re- called as notable precedents, but the landing on the beach at Gauipoli is regarded by some as the only real parallel.
 Curiosity is expressed as to the fate of the crews of the two old sub marines that were assigned to blow up the piling at the approach to the mole in Zeebrugge. Their devotion to duty appeals to the imagination of the writers, for it is assumed that they voluntarily accepted almost cer- tain death and that only by some thing akin to miracle could those who remained aboard to explode the charges have survived.
 Stories of survivors who have ar ried in Doer flushed with belief in the full success of the expedition are not corroborated in every detail by the official account. The reported de- struction of the lock gates and the consequent draining of the Bruges canal lack confirmation. If sub stantiated, +h'- presumably would be the greatest achievement of the raid ing squadron.
 Estimates of the time the Germans will need to remove the Instructions from the channel and repair the dam aged mole vary greatly.

DECISION FAVORS
 HICKEY BROTHERS

Decision for the defendants to re- cover costs has been handed down by Judge John P. Kellogg of the Supe- rior Court in the case of the Adams Express Co. against the Hickey Brothers Taxcab Express Co. tried before Judge Kellogg a short time ago.
 This action was one to recover $495 for damage to a machine shipped by Curtis & Curtis through the Adams Express Co.,, and for which the latter hired a truck from the Hickeys. Owing to improper loading and se- curing of the machine it was thrown from the truck and damaged. The plaintiffs contended the fault was with the driver of the truck, while. the defendants claimed the loading and transportation was in charge of the agent of the Express Co.
