THRIFT STAMP SELLERS WILL
 HAVE PARADE
Plan For Demonstration Friday Evening to Close
 the Big Campaign.

The War Savings Committees plans for a parade on Friday night have grown from what was started as a simple affair to quite a large one. The parade will start from the Wheeler lot at the corner of Main and Congress streets Friday at a quarter before 8 o'clock, and will be made up of all the workers who have been engaged in the sale of War Savings Stamps. It will be headed by the band of the Lake Torpedo Boat Co.,, and music will also be furnished bY the drum corps of the shelton school. In the parade will be the fremen, the police. men, the letter carriers, the repre- sentatives of fraterna1 societies, in surance workers, store clerks, factory workers, lawyers, ministers, doctors and merchants, all of whom have con- tributed their energies toward work ing up Bridgeport's splendid total of War Savings Stamps.
 All who have been sellers of War Savings Stamps who have not been otherwise invited, are hereby request ed to be present in as large numbers as possible.
 The parade will start at a quarter of 8, and will march down Main street to State street, west on State to Broad street, north on Broad to Elm, east on Elm to Main, and there disband. Im- mediately after the parade is over there will take place what is a new and novel feature never before done in the history of municipal life as far as can be learned. Elm street will be closed from Main street to Broad street, and a community dance will be given on one of the public streets. All of the workers paraders and their friends will take part. Music will be | furnished by an orchestra, and with a full police force on hand it is cer- tain that order will be preserved. l Those who are interested in the de- velopment of civic life and students of municipal conditions are watching this event with great interest and are freely predicting that it will be a fore runner of many community dances on the public streets.
 As stated above, all the storekeepers who have maintained agencies for the sale of stamps, all of the factory workers and all others who have been interested and have been promoting
 the sale of stamps are specially in-
 vited to be present.

A SOCIALIST VIEW
 OF GERMAN VICTORY.

(Written by Upton Sinclair for the
 National Security League.)
 Nine years ago the writer made an effort to persuade the International Socialist movement to take some ef- fective measures against world war, then clearly foreseen. A manifesto was prepared, urging that the Social ist movements of the various coun- tries should make opposition to war their first interest, and that member ship in a Socialist organization should come to mean a pledge to refuse to take part in war against nations sim ilarly pledged This manifesto was circulated in England, France, Italy, Australia, Canada and the United States. In Germany alone, of all modern industrial nations, it was found impossible to awaken interest in the document. Leaders of the German Social democracy explained that the Socialists of Germany could do nothing to prevent war. Said one of them, generally recognized as their intellectual head: After war, and especially after an unsuccessful war there will come our chance" August Bebel, for more than generation the beloved leader of the German move ment, wrote in his memorirs that the German people would never attain freedom until the power of it's ruling caste had been broken by a military defeat. This is a hard saying; es- pecially must it be hard for Ger man to say it now, in wartime. But Karl Liebknecht has said it, and the Socialists of the allied countries have the best of Socialist authority for sup porting this war, so long as it is waged in the spirit of the declarations of our President, that we will make peace with the people of Germany, but not with their constituencies rulers.

New Fuel for Motor Vehicles

A Liberty fuel, vastly cheaper
than gasoline and possessing many
advantages over it, has been in
vented by experts of the War De-
partment's research division. Ex-
periments have proved the new
fuel adaptable to motor vehicles,
stationary engines and airplanes.
It is now being produced in large
quantities.
Kerosene is the base for the new
fuel, which is odorless, tasteless
and non-corrosive and leaves less
carbon than the highest grade of
gasoline. 1t requires less air for
combustion and will develop 80 per
cent more horsepower.
This discovery, it is claimed,
ranks with the greatest of war at
tainments and resulted after 81
substitutes had been produced.

Return of the Government Agri-
cultural Commission

An agricultural commission with
DR.. W. 0. Thompson, president of
Ohio State University, at its head,
and comprising trained agricu1tur-
turists from number of the state
agricultural colleges and the u. S.
Department of Agriculture, has just
returned from Europe, where it
made a thorough investigation of
the agricultural conditions of the
allied countries. The information
it brings will be considered in for
mulating the agricultural produce
ton program for 1919.
Two things seem to be clear:
One is that for considerable
period the world will have need
particularly of larger supply than
normal of live stock and especially
Iof beef and fats. We should not
fail therefore to adopt every feas-N
ible means of economically increas-
ing our livestock products.
The other is the need of per-
fecting the organization of our
agricultural agencies. We should
not only have the best possible or
ganization and cooperation of the
Department of Agriculture, the
agricultural colleges, the state de-
partment of agriculture and farm
ers' associations, but we should
especially strengthen the local farm
bureaus and other organizations
which support so effectively the ex-
tension forces and assist them in
their activities.

Work of the Red Cross

With the cessation of hosti1ities
and the assurance of permanent
world peace and democracy it must
besrea1ized that the work of the
Red Cross is in measure only be-
gun. AS a soul of a nation mobil-
lied for service, its work must go
on. This nation cannot undo with
speed equal to its miraculous ac
complishment. The sober task of
restoration cannot keep pace with
the tense strain of preparation this
and other countries have gone
through. The Red Cross must
carry on. We have two million
men overseas, flung with un-
dreamed speed out of the fiery
purpose of the nations will. 1t
will take, three times as long to
bring them back. We have thous-
andS OF wounded, d1Sabled-cOn-
valescent- long as they need
nursing and cheer the Red Cross
will stand by. In those Allied
countries which have been ravished
by Hun hordes the very machinery
of life has been left shattered and
disorganiZed; natural resources
have been exhausted; social insti-
tutions despoiled. Until our last
man is brought home, until the last
man is restored to normal condi-
tons. until the blight which has
withered European civilization has
been removed, the Red Cross will
help, heal. sustain and cheer. 1t
will stand by.

About one-third of the people

This proportion is not enough to

in the biggest, finest way possible.
Because it has more members en-
rolled to the thousand population
than any other division in the
country does not satisfy it either.
Only the best is good enough OUT

OF 100 per cent membership in the
Red Cross should satisfy any state.

tory.
The Christmas Roll Call for uni
versal Red Cross membership is
scheduled for the week before
Christmas, December 16 to %. To
be an American these days is to
account ourselves blest and hon
ored. The only way to be an
100 per cent American is to belong
to the organized soul of our nation
and be listed on the honor roll of
those who serve humanity. The
thing that put the entire population
of the country solidly behind the
war was the feeling that we were
not in it for any selfish end.
Through the Red Cross we have
served our way into the confidence
and into the hearts of every Allied
nation. The opportunity for un-
selfish service is now greater than
ever. The Red Cros must mean
all America. There must be no
weak link in the chain. Universal
membership-that's all.
