The Connecticut State Council of Defense unanimously adopted on Mon
 day a minute and resolution drawn i by Justice George W. Wheeler. The resolution expresses the peoples feel ling of thanksgiving, the jRdgment

 to do on the other side and the inn 1 perative need of continuing to labor,

 care for the destitute people of Flu 1 rope.
 l The resolution fittingly closes with
 g. strong appeal 1n behalf of the War
 Work Fund campaign. It calls upon
 all to give generously to this cause.
 The following is the resolution in
 full:
 That the Connecticut State Council
 of Defense adopts this minute as it's
 expression of the thought and feeling and purpose and duty of the American i people at this great hour.
 '"The allied nations of civilization
 under a unified command and a su- perb general have won, and genera
 tiDns yet unborn will marvel at and
 bless their strength, their endurance
 and their moral force. All the world
 comedies and history shall write the
 uynselfish purpose of our entry into
 the great war. She shall tell too that being in, we have pursued with in
 flexible determination and unparal- leled vigDr, with a capacity for
 achievement till now unheard of, and with an unfaltering spirit that by our might we should finally make right the law of the world and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust Our forces in the field have beaten the picked German Guards. Seiche- prey, Cant gny, Belleau Wood, Cha
 teau Thierry, St. Mihiel, Argonne For ests, and Sedan are proud names for all time to all Americans. Our navy has clone it's every task to the minute. Whenever it could come in contact with the enemy, it has prevailed. Our sacrifices have been many. Yet Npur dead have not died in vain They now know and we know Our God is marching or.' Autocracy is dead; the tide of democracy sweeps over.
 We owe unstinted praise to army and navy, to the Government for it's \ conU@Ict of the war and to it's efforts
  tional solidarity, and to our President,
 whose voice throughout by common consent, has spoken the conscience and the ideals of the Allies. The work over there could not have been, had those at home not done their part.
 Today all conditions of men and women have the privilege of rejoicing l in 10 f1-II nh fIP %17o ie their victory as we'll as that of the \ brave soldiers and sailors. The war is not yet over Our work is not yet a done.
 Many in Europe will starve if we s do not feed them; more will remain destitute if we do not care for them. Our ships must first bear succor to the suffering before they can bring 3 our boys and our overseas supplies home. All Europe is in the fires ot q revolution. Our boys must stay there s and save those stricken countries from s anarchy, restore order, and help them to know the liberty we know,---l liberty ! buttressed and ordered by law All 3 this will take time. Meantime we s must not halt, but work the handler; a our labor must feed the hungry, fur a S t0ration and rehabilitation of Europe. q Cur earnings and our savings must be < loaned and given to Belgium, to 5 France, to Italy to Poland, to Russia, a to the Balkan States and to Greece. God has showered us with an abund- s ance; let us put it tf0 such noble uses And while our hearts thrill in ! thanksgiving for victory we will re- 5 member that our soldiers and sailors q are now in peculiar need of ministra- ton. The moment of supreme sacri- S flee has passed. The great trial ard s temptation is at hand. It is our part s to give them all the care, all the com a foat, and all the joy we can. To keep \ them safe and bring them back to JUS q true men, is worth all that we have a and all that we can do.
