SCHROEDER IN HOSPITAL.
Hartford Avenue Boy Writes. Telling
 of Activities Overseas.

Private Frank Schroeder of this city, a private in Company E, who was wounded in action several weeks ago, is still in a French hospital under going treatment, according to a letter just received from him.
 In his letter Private Schroeder tells of the battle of Seicheprey and re- marks that it was just before the storm of shot and shell broke that he last saw his friend, Private George Newton of Hartford. who has since been located in a German prison camp. Private Schroeder says that he and Newton were "bunkics' and the last time he saw his friend was that night in No Mans Land"
 A short letter has been received from Private Newton stating that he is safe in a German camp. He also tells of his capture, explaining that he was on outpost duty at the time the Germans surrounded him and he was taken a prisoner at the very moment when he was changing his clothes.
 Another New Britain soldier. re- gently on the casualty list. is Private Felix Weizbecki of Company l. He was wounded with snrapnel some time ago and has just been discharged from a hospital.

From the Des Moines Register.
just now when everybody is trying to
create the impression that we have done
nothing to get ready for our part in the
war II might be wei! to take note of the
fact that Canada is considering taking
over the railroads.
How many stop to consider that the
United States had conscripted the army
and had it in camp Whit Canada. after
three years in the war, was still talking
about 1t, and having a great political tear
up over 1t? How many stop to consider
that Australia after the same three years
in the war has absolutely refused to re
sort to a draft?
Canada has alwa - been much further
along towards government ownership of
the railroads than the United States. And
yet in this emergency the United States
has acted while Canada is stii; consider
ing what To do.
The fact Is the United States has or-
sanized more duiokiy than any great peo-
pie ever organized before. has done more
IN one Year TO be ready for a xreat war
than MAS ever done before by any people
AZ amy time.
we have done So many things 50 easily
that We havr taken il all for granted and
nave moi stopped 10 consider the enormous
significance Of what we have done
Who for instance stops no" to con
slider what ii means that we have a fed
eral banking system? And vet If that
change had not beer made this war could
not BE- financed Under our old md.
pendent banking system this war could
ncve. have been taken ON without plrpg
ing The whole country INTO bankruptcy
The amazing thing about our par m
IN" war l. cot that we are moving eiowiy
but that we are moving with such Right
nins liz" raIiditS We are 'ioins over
night what wouiA nave been debated
through one wnol" generation nj ans
other period. We sllal be further alorig
n This war than any ration involved. III
