nd flowers carpeted the earth.

i thank the silent dead, he said, who
were crushed by the German avalanche
the British, the French, the Aus
stralians, the Americans, the Canadi-
ans, and others. They fought side by
side, inch by inch, until life went out.
Men wearing the American uniform,
he declared, will be honored by the
whole world. It will make no differ
ence how many divisions the kaiser
places in the field. with the United
States in the fray the allies are bound
to win the day.
Here the speaker gave a detailed
description of the tortures Of gas
poisoning, the sufferings of the wound
ed, ETC., and said that in one of the
allies cemeteries in France there are
100000 little roughly-hewn crosses
which tell but a partial tale Of the de-
struction of human life. -
The story, he said, that the boys
were drunk in the trenches is a damna-
BILE lie-they did not receive even suf-
ficient spirituous liquor to aid diges-
ton. AS to the use of tobacco on the
battlefront, he declared that, with the
nauseous smells arising from decom-
posing bodies, which it is sometimes
impossible to bury for many days, the
weed is absolutely necessary despite
the rawlings Of long-faced pietiests to
the contrary.
He covered the charging of the ma
chine gun batteries with fixed bayonets
and the heroic work accomplished by
the allies in cleaning out the nests of
this sort of ordnance in No Mans
Land.
The loss Of his leg, he said, was due
to fracture by a dumdum bullet, and
added that he is ready to go back and
lose the other leg, or even his life,
for the cause of humanity and liberty
Of the nations.
He praised the Red Cross nurses
who are caring for the wounded SOL
diers, saying that, Notwithstanding
their arduous duties, they are always
cheerful and labor continuously to
| ameliorate the sufferings of their
charges. They are real "angels of
mercy" he said.
He gave President Wilson and Lloyd
George praise for the stand they have
taken in the war and said they were
two of the greatest men in the world.
Not all Germans are pro-enemy, said
the sergeant. Beware some of the
neutrals-many Of whom buy Liberty
bonds and hide behind the Stars and
Stripes-they are helping the kaiser.
But German enemies and all other en-
emies Of the United States in this
country should either be shot or put
under lock and key.
| He excoriated the Nonpartisan
league, the I. w. W.. and others of
like ilk who are trying to block prog
ress in France, and. told how the first
named organization was knocked out
in Canada.
The sergeant's speech was ofttimes
interrupted by applause.
The program closed with duet and
solo by the Welsh Singers and the
singing Of "America" by the audience.
Note.-That confusion regarding the appli-
cation of our two great American songs may
be avoided let it be understood that the
national anthem for the United States is '"The
Star-Spangled Banner" and not "America.'
It is right to give each its proper place.

German Ministers Who Did Their Bit.
Upon several occasions we have read
in the daily. papers stories Of German
ministers advising their congregations
to purchase no Liberty bonds.
While some of these stories are
probably true they do not apply to the
ministers of German churches in
Princeton. For instance it gives us
pleasure to refer to the true Ameri-
canism and patriotism of our friend,
Rev. 0. A. Strauch of Zion church,
Princeton township In the third Lib
erty loan drive he went forth among
the members of his church, who are Of
German descent, and succeeded, with
out difficulty, in securing subscriptions
to the amount of $4,300-25 persons
having subscribed. In addition he COL
lected over $25 for the Red Cross.
Mrs. Strauch is also assisting-do-
ing more than her bit-to help Amer
lea in winning the war; Every minute
of her time, when not occupied in
household duties, is devoted to patri-
otto work. She knits, sews, writes
letters to the soldiers, and is happy in
the thought that she can be at least
of some service to the boys who are
over there. -.
For many long years Rev Strauch
has had charge of Zion German Luth-
eran church in Princeton township
and Mrs. Strauch has proved a valu-
able helpmeet in the necessary auxil-
larry work. They have taught patri-
otism, practiced patriotism, and are
beloved by the members of their con-
gregation.
Let us hope that they will remain
with us to preach their. splendid doc
trine Of pure Americanism until, at
least, the war is over.
While the Rev. Ehwald of the Ger
man Lutheran church in this village
did not go out and solicit subscriptions
for the Liberty loan, in his sermon the
Sunday before the drive commenced,
he urged the members of his congre-
cation to buy bonds.

Bond Subscriptions Over $3.50. 900

Bond Subscriptions Over $3.50, 900.
Figures furnished by Chairman Nc
MILAN of the county Liberty loan or
ganization, taken from the cards re-
ceived up to last night, show that the
total amount subscribed for bonds
amount to over $250,0O0. Belated
cards are still pouring in, hence these
figures are not final. AS Mile Laos
county's allotment was placed at $780,
600, the returns show, as the Union
predicted, that we would go way over
the top.

'Blue Card" Man Given His Medicine

"Blue Card'' Man Given His Medicine
A fisticuff encounter occurred on
Saturday afternoon on one of the prin-
cipal streets of Princeton in which E..
c. Thompson administered to E. G..
Pike, his neighbor, dose of medicine
which knocked at least portion of the
kaiseriteism out Of his system.
In brief the story is as follows: Mr.
-Thompson-a patriot Of good old
Scotch descent-was solicitor in his
district for Liberty loan bonds, and he
called upon his neighbor, Pike, to sub
scribe. Pike, who is reputed to be a
wealthy farmer, refused, however, to
take any bonds. Therefore, in return
ing his list to Chairman Mcmillan, it
was necessary for Mr.. Thompson to
place Pixies name on blue card-a
card which relegated the said Pike to
the Stacker column, or, may be, worse
than that.
When Thompson and Pike met in
town on Saturday Pike asked why his
name was placed on blue card and
Thompson replied because he was a
Stacker. A mix-up followed and, as
was his duty, Marshal Fox arrested
both and brought them before Justice
Bob King. Mr.. Thompson promptly
plead. guilty to a charge of assault and
was fined SIS and costs, SO in all, for
which amount he immediately drew his
check. Mr. Pike 1lesitated about enter
ing his plea, bat finally concluded to
also plead guilty, and his fine and costs
amounted to So.
The sympathies of the crowd that
had assembled were all with Mr..
Thompson, and collection was taken
up to pay his fine. But that gentleman
would not stand for it, 81 am amply
able to pay my fine," he remarked, but,
he added as he flung a dollar into the
hat, "give the contribution to the Red
Cross-the society needs it more than
I do" The crowd cheered Justify and
the court adjourned. ..-->,=s=z -.
Mr.. Pike redeemed himself in the
eyes of his patriotic neighbors for
Immediately after leaving the Justices
office he subscribed for $40O worth of
Liberty bonds.
N. B.-Justice King has since re-
mitted Mr.. Thompson's fine.

tive settlers and pleasure tourists.
Minnesota has fallen far short Of max
ing the most Of it's beauties of lake
and wood, to say nothing of it's agri-
cultural resources, because of faulty
roads. Stress is being laid as never
before in.m many states upon the good

that Minnesota is coming to the fore

a recognition Of their just rights in

display an unwillingness to cooperate
with us through enlistment in the
ranks of our ally, Great Britain, and
an unwillingness to submit to rea-
sonable draft law; therefore, be it
Resolved, that we deeply regret and
deplore this attitude on the part Of
some of our kinsmen across the water
and sincerely hope that, through the
wise counsels of Ireland's level-headed
statesmen and the natural loyalty of
the people, they may be led to see the
error of their way and to lend us their
much-needed aid.
The people of this country have
never faltered in their allegiance to the
cause Of home rule for Ireland, and we
are more than ever convinced that the
very principle for which we are now
engaged in this war entities Ireland to
this right, and if the people of Ireland

rights no power on earth could pre-
vent Irish home rule. But we can see
no reason why any Irishman should
fail to do his moral duty at this time
or engage in any obstruction to the
cause of the allies, and we condemn as
disloyal to the cause of human freedom
any man or set of men who fails to
give the cause of the allies prompt
and unqualified support at this time.

I swear, we will clean up Germany,

the kaiser and all kaiserism.
He spoke of the Canadian first
divisions departure from Montreal,
saying it consisted Of one of the finest
bodies Of men that ever left for Eu-
rope. "More than 80 per cent Of that
division will never return" he added.
A damnable German propagandist
lie, he said, found its way into Amer
lean papers that the British had
pushed the Canadians into deathtraps.
The circulation of such stories is part
of the German scheme. Tommy At
kins is doing his share, and more Ger
man sausage has been made by the
Tommies than by any other allied ma
ton.
Here he enumerated a number Of
Hun atrocities ravishing of wo-
men, crucifxion of prisoners, sever
ing Of hands of children, etc., to all of
which he was an eyewitness. He

Sergeant Malone has accepted a position of responsibility at the North & Judd Manufacturing com pany.
 A new position will be created at the North & Judd factory and Ser geant Malone will be the appointed In the position he will have charge of the factory fire department and will have other duties to perform.
 The resignation of Sergeant Malone from the police force is very much re- gretted by his superior officers. Since his appointment to the police force in May, 1905, Sergeant Malone has proven a very efficient officer. He was trusted with the performance of inn portant police duty and rarely, if ever, disappointed the superior officers of the department in the results secured. As regular patrolman he took part In a number of important captures. III health a few years ago caused him an extended layoff. The numerous operations he was subjected to how ever proved successful and the officer is today enjoying excellent health. When he returned to duty he was as- signed to duty in the police station and displayed his usual aptitude by making a competent and efficient clerk. At various times he was as signed to ferret out eases for the de- tective bureau. Several months ago he was appointed as a sergeant in the detective bureau.
 Sergeant Malone is married and has son, Private Harold Malone, in the 101st Machine Gun Battalion in France. He came to New Britain from ColIinsville about 20 years ago and was employed for a time at F. & F. COrbin's.
 The resignation of Sergeant Malone will necessitate the appointment of another police sergeant. There are several candidates for advancement. It is likely that the civil service com- mission will be asked to hold eXami- nations for a new eligible list. The ap- pointment will probably be delayed for a month at least.

HAS NEW SYSTEM
 10 BEAT COURT
Probationer GarniSheeS His Own
 Wages Youths Take Horses

Even though it costs him money Frank Dietz, @ probationer, did not hesitate to spend some in order to defeat the purpose of the court. A short time ago when in court for neglecting his family he was placed on probation with the understanding that the probation officer would draw his wages. He was agreeable at the moment, but after he had time to think it over he decided that his weekly wage of $50 was too much for the family to get the whole of, while he had only the pleasure of working. When he came to that con- clusion he decided to garnishee his own wages, and accordingly he en- gagged a, constable to issue the writ DietZ was in court before Judge Meskill today for his actions, viola tion of probation being the charge, and again he promised to let the pro- bation officer draw his wages and not to garnishee his own earnings.
 Upon conviction of the charge of hiring horses nd making misrepresen tations when so doing Otto Nash, IT years old and Vim. Stems, IS years old were sentenced in police court today.

 The youths hired saddle horses at J. M Finnegan's stable Monday morning about 7 o'clock, saying they wanted to ride around town for a couple of hours Yesterday afternoon the horses were located in New Hartford. The boys spent the night in barn and the only feed the horses had since being hired was some grass they were allowed to graze. MT. Finnegan and John Nc Guire testified that the horses had been OVerdriVen and neglected. MT. Finnegan testified to the conditions upon which the horses were hired. The witnesses and Police Lieutenant Bamforth said that the boys admitted hiring the horses and their intention was to drive them to Sprin gfield to get work.

HEALTH NURSES NEEDED
Patriotic Service, Saving Lives at Home, Expected to Appeal to Those Who Cannot Go to France

Home, Expected to Appeal to Those
 Who Cannot Go to France.
 The results of the national baby test have shown the great need for public health nurses, that new ways have to be found to meet the increas- ed demand. In this city, since the Child's Welfare Campaign started, 8 week ago, the need for public health nurses has been found to be great In many places, however, whwere there are sufficient funds to employ a nurse to keep the children well, it has been found difficult to secure nurses The supply of such nurses has always been small in comparison with the need for their work. At present, it is being drawn upon to help meet the great need not of the army alone but of :he civil population, the women ard sick children of war ridden France.
 Various ways are being found to meet these new demands for public health nurses. In connection with the campaign to save 100000 babies, the children's bureau has endeavored to make clear that the field of public health nursing in this country is one of patriotic service because of the present need to save life. Graduate nurses who can not serve in France are urged to take one of the special courses which will fit them to do public health nursing. Such 8 course includes a study of the general condi- tons that affect the we'll being of the child in the family; training in dietetics and bacteriology is also giv- en. The nurse learns how to make clear to the expectant mother the way to care for herself before the baby is born. She must know how to spread the knowledge of methods of preventing disease and of checking the spread of epidemics. Her training must fit her to give nursing care under all sorts of conditions She must learn to concern herself with all the things in the community which may have a bearing on the health of it's citizens
 Wisconsin has long had 8 course for the training of public health nurses Iowa commenced in June a special emergency course for graduate nurses It aims to give in 8 shorter time, the necessary training for public health nursing. This course is arranged hv the State Anti-Tuberculosis associa ton.
 In addition to the need for the trained work of the public health nurse, many places are seeking volun- teers for the follow-up work of the national weighing and measuring test Wisconsin offers a six weeks course of special instruction for college grad uates who can give their services in the Children's Year campaign. The program of the Children's Year especially provides for the enlistment of Home Health volunteers to make the nurses work go farther by help- ing the nurse in whatever way she dt- rects.
