DOUBLE FUNERAL
 FOR FAlRCHILDS FATHER AND CHILD
Nichols saddened by Deaths of Charles E. Fairchild
 and His Daughter.

The funeral of Charles Wentworth Fairchild, whose death occurred Dec. 5, and the funeral of his daughter, Dorothy Nichols Fairchild, who died Dec. 8. was held at the late home in Nichols at 2 o'clock today. The dou 'ble service was conducted by Rev. William H. Day of the United church, Bridgeport. The Knights Templar conducted their services according to the ritual at the grave of MT. Fair child. Interment was in Nichols cem- etery.
 The sudden and unexpected death of MT Fairchild followed so closely by the untimely death of his 14-year- old daughter Dorothy, has come as a distinct shock to his host of friends in Trumbull and Bridgeport where he was very well known, and throughout northern Connecticut and Massachu- setts where he had extensive bus mess relations.
 Mir Fairchild was stricken at the home of his parents where with his family he had gone to spend Thanks giving Day. From a mild attack of influenza, pneumonia developed, death claiming him early last Friday morn ing.
 Mir. Fairchild was born and always maintained his residence in Nichols where he had been actively and en- ergetically associated with all pro- gressive movements tending both to the hetterment of town affairs and his fellowmen. His life will materially strengthen an ancestry whose name has been connected prominetly with town, state and national affairs for many generations back.
 He was graduate of the Connecti- cut Agricultural School at StorPs and enjoyed wide social and frafernaI as sociations, prominent among which were his connection with St. Johns Lodge, No. 2, F. & A. M, Jerusalem Chapter, No B, R. A M, Hamilton CommandeEy, No. 5, and Lafayette Consistory, all of Bridgeport, and Oke- muck Tribe, No, 49, l.. 0. R. NJ, Of stratford.
 Surviving Mir. Fairchild and daugh- ter. Dorothy, are his wife Edythe Nichols, and parents, Erwin S. and Alice Wentworth FairchiId, to whom the community and hosts of acquaint- ances pour out their deepest sym pathy.

Editorial

A phase of the war that never
loses interest lies in the let
tiers that the boys send home.
Often they find their way to
the newspapers, sent in by
relatives who want all the
world to share their pride.
How well the majority of them
are written-some sentences
that by their very matter-of-
factness have a power that
the most carefully turned
"literary phrase" oft fails to
reach.
Read these letters-and read
the little intimate stories
sent in by the war CORE
spondents. You will need no
greater inspiration toward
doing YOUR part day by
day, whether it be conserving
food, knitting, rolling band
ages, investing in Thrift
Stamps or helping in any
other way.
And remember, it's what we do
every day that counts.

READING WARNS AGAINST
 FALSE OPTIMISM
DECLARES THE CRISIS HAS NOT PASSED AND WILL NOT BE
 UNTIL VICTORY IS WON.

New York. May Warning 10 the people of America against false op- umism in the war, especially as to the great battle in Flanders was sounded by Earl Reading, British high commissioner to the United States, in addressing the New York City bar as- sociation here tonight
 "The crisis Is not passed" he said. and 1t never will be passed until the victory is won"
 Lord Reading spoke at some length on the announcement sent from Lon don to Ottawa Sunday night to the effect that American troops would nor be used on the battlefelds until the United States had a complete and powerful army in France.
 When l saw the statement I was convinced; indeed I knew there was some mistake in the announcement. ." he said. q did not hesitate to say sc before l could communicate with my government. I have heard from my government today and 1t stands undoubtedly az the fact that the com munication which was supposed to have emanated from a committee of the British war cabinet never orig mated in the British war cabinet at all and never was seen there. All the sentiment that was thyre eN- pressed is al variance and utterly at variance with the views not only of my government but let me add also of the French government and may l be permitted to add. of your own administration.
 'd confess that would like to say just one word with regard to your press upon it. Certainly there Is no blame attached to them They are quite right, they were quite right in assuming that 1t was document which did originate from the cabinet at home. The fault is a fault with us at home, and 1 say that in case anyone should think there had been any error committed here, For once 1t is clear, as trust 1t has been made clear, that there was no foundation for the change which was stated to have taken place"

PRESBYTERIkNS
 DISAGREE ON UNION
SOUTHERN ASSEMBLY DOES NOT DEEM ORGANIC UNION PRAc-
 T CABLE,

Ourant, Okla. May IA report opposing organic union with the Northern Presbyterian church, but recommending in it's stead, federal union of all the Presbyterian churches in the country, will be presented to the Southern Presbyterian general as sembly which begins its annual meet ing here Thursday May l6.
 The report will be presented by special committee appointed by the last southern assembly which has held joint meetings during the year with similar committee from the north ern assembly.
 The southern assembly in appoint ing the committee said that it did not deem organic union practicable at this time and directed the committee to consider a plan for creating a fed eral union. The southern commit tee declined to accept the plan of the northern assembly looking to the amalgamation of the two churches in to one body. The members present ed letters from about 300 leaders in- dicating that pressing the question mieht result in a split in the church.
 Differences in handling the negro question and a difference in view of the relations of church and state have developed friction in some cases, it is said
 The plan for federation offered by the southern committee proposes that each church shall retain it's own or ganization and that over them all shall be a federal assembly made of rep resentatves of each church This as semIbly would exercise only the pow CTS delegates it by the churches and have general supervision over the general mission and other work of the churches.
 The northern committee refused to accept this plan holding that it would express the unity of the church that was desired The committees will re- port their findings to the two assem- blies to act
