 The campaign for the raising of Stafford's quota of $192,500 for the Victory Liberty Loan was opened in the Comique Theatre Sunday evening before a large audience with Charles B. Pinney as chairman. Rev. l.. Rees offered the invocation. The feature of the evening was Lieutenant Albert M. Symonds of Hartford, who was with the 26th division throughout it's whole time on the field Time and again he thrilled his hearers as he pictured the scenes during that fighting. He told how the Yankee boys were put against the "Prussian Guards" the Kaiser's crack troops, who at first forced them back, but finally these picked troops, not man of whom was under six feet in height, were thrown back by the New Englanders, and those New Eng landers were mostly Connecticut men. Among the evidences of the respect of the enemy for these boys, was the question asked by German prisoners, How many 18th divisions are there" He told how the Germans in the Rhine valley scoffed at the idea of Americans parting with their money for fifth LlDcICy LOdu uOW tudI Iuc wal 10 oNS1, and after having already floated four large loans. It would seem that after hearing him no one could resist the invitation to loan his money for the sake of bringing back to their homes these lads who fought so bravely and faced death unflinchingly. As many said after T,ieutenant SymOndS fin ished speaking, he put it up to you" in such way that one could almost imagine himself over there in France, wondering if such a calamity could happen as the folks back home failing to loan the government the money to
 bring them back to Gods own
