Making the
Committee Vocal

Guy Emerson, a vice president If
the National Bank Of Commerce. is
Director Of Publicity of the Liberty
Loan Committee, and is in charge If
the Publicity Department, whicl,
makes the entire organization ar
ticulate. In the advertising bu-
reau of this department, of which
James I. Clark is in charge, post
ers are designed and copy writ
ten for paid advertising for news
paper. magazine, billboard and other
mediums Of publicity The greater
part Of the advertising space for the
campaign has been obtained through
the voluntary contributions and co
operation of large advertisers, thus
reducing the governments expense
for such an enormously expensive
operation to a nominal figure. bur
increasing the problems Of the Ad-
vertising Bureau in proportion.
The Press Bureau. another subdi-
vision Of the Publicity Department,
Of which John Price Jones is head,
prepares all announcements regard =
ing the work Of the committee and
the scope Of the campaign for the
newspapers. 1t reaches 5000 publ
cations in the district, and floods
them with news about the coming
Liberty Loan.
Supplementary to both these bu-
reaus Of the Publicity Department
is the Service Bureau, in charge Of
the development and production Of
the whole list of special features
which are to be introduced to keep
the public interest at high pitch.
The reproduction Of the trenches N
Central Park will. of course, be the
most spectacular of these, and is ex-
pected to attract attention from per
sons from all over the United States
Grosvenor Farwell is manager Of
the Service Bureau, which insists
that secrecy is necessary element
in the success of its plans. Another
important branch Of the Publicity
Department is the speakers bureau,
under Joseph Hartigan. former Com
missioner Of Weights and Measures
Of New York City.
1t is with these thoroughly inte-
grated organizations that New York
and the rest of the Second District
will say Ready" on April 6. when
the order emanates from Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo to start the
third Liberty Loan campaign. Il
thoroughness Of preparation is the
keynote to success, It IS apparent
that New York will make good once
more.
Thus the reality Of the statement
that in the existing world crisis dol
lars can become fghting instruments
IS revealed. Money that goes into
Liberty bonds constitutes reinforce
ments for the nations that are hold
ing the line in France against the
pressure CT Hinden6urg's troops. 1t
would be to the Kaiser's interest If
the American people should be mig
gardly in their response to appeals
to buy the new bond issues. The
cause Of the United States and her
Allies will be helped in proportion
as the people of this country are
generous in assimilating the offer
ings in the Third Liberty Loan cam
paign, which is scheduled to start IN
q week
The Liberty Loan Committee is
ready for the campaign. They are
prepared to do all within their

MUSEUM IS CLOSED;
CURATOR RESIGNS
Future of Institution Indef.
mite, Marcus White
Says.

Announcement was made today of
the resignation of E. Birmingham
Schurr, curator at the New Britain
Institute Museum of Natural History
and Art. The museum is closed and
the plans Of the directors concern
ing it's future are indefinite.
1t was learned that Mr.. Schurr had
rendered his resignation on January
%, last, to take effect on June 1. Ac-
ton on the resignation had been de-
ferred by the directors but the resig-
nation was eventually accepted.
According to Marcus White of the
board of directors, no successor to
Mr. Schurr has been secured and the
future Of the museum has not been
decided on. The museum, Mr.. White
says, will remain closed for the re-
mainder of the week and possibly
longer. An agitation is in progress
for the use Of the museum for Red
Cross work but whether this will be.
practicable has not been determined.
Mr.. Schurr will continue to reside
in Berlin, to which town he removed
q few months ago, and has two pros
pective positions in view. When Mr..
Schurr came to New Britain two
years ago the museum was a museum
in name only. Through. persever-
ance, he made it one of the finest in
stitutions of it's kind in New Eng
land. He believed the museum
should be for the public and he
aroused so much interest that dur
ing the past year visitors numbered
5000. Mr.. Schurr also received
large number Of invaluable gifts
which are now on exhibition He like
wise devoted considerable of his
time to lectures before schools and
private organizations on nature and
its charms. Mr.. Schurr is a native
of Pittsfield and knows every inch
Of ground in the beautiful Berkshire
Hills. Those who are cogpizant of
his efforts as curator of the museum
will regret that he has left the in
stitution.

BOSNIA and Herzegovina Stricken.

London, May 15-A graphic picture
of the terrible economic distress pre-
Nailing in Bosnia and Herzegovina is
published by the Glasloboda, of Ag-
ram, Austria. 1t declares that only
two provinces in the Austrian empire
has suffered more terribly from the
war than these two provinces.
These two provinces,'' it says, ''are
Gaiacia and Bukowina, which were
the cockpits of great conflicts be-
tween the Austrian and Russian
armies. Nevertheless the situation in
Bosnia and Herzegovina is horrible.
Entire districts of eastern Bosnia
and the eastern part Of Herzegovina
are today depopulated and devastated
regions which look as if a terrible
typhoon had visited them with it's
devilish destruction. A great number
of inhabitants were deported and
since have died in internment camps.
Those who remained We're massacred
by Austrian soldiers. In other dis
tricts the population is dying of star
yatiOn.'
