MAKES NEAR EAST APPEAL
 TO ACADEMY STUDENTS

Rev. H. A. Hubert of Groton, for mer missionary to Asia Minor for three years. addressed the pupils of the Academy gathered in Slater hall Friday morning on behalf of the Near East relief campaign.
 MT. Hubert stated that it was just 100 years ago, February, 1919, that the first two missionaries started from America for Asia Minor. The people in this territory have been harassed and massacred for many years by the Turks, who have massacred over one million of them. The people have been persecuted for so long that they be- l1eved they are ,ill-fated and will not lift a finger to help themselves. MT. Hubert said that while he was there there was famine, cholera and small pox spread unchecked and that he was helpless to do anything except avoid it.
 Since the first of this year over 400 men and women have gone from America to aid these people. MT. Hull bert's daughter, who is among this number, writes from Constantinople that the conditions are so horrible that they cannot be expressed in words.
 If aid is not sent to these people quickly, they will perish from starva- tion. Thirty millions of dollars, which Mir. Hubert stated is really an insuffi - cient sum, is all that is asked for these people. About twenty-two millions have been raised. Norwich's quota of s12,00O still lacks two or three thou sand of fulfillment.

SAYS WILSON IS RIGHT ABOUT ITALY

President Wilson was never more
 right than he is in his attitude on the
 claims that Italy is making for Plume,
 declared Isaac F. Marcosson. a jour-
 nalist of wide experience. who lec-
 tured Friday night to an audience of
 about 200 at Slater Memorial hall un-
 der the auspices of the Norwich Art
 Students Association.
 MT. Marcosson has been on all the
 fronts in the war;, has known all the great military and political leaders, and he gave to his hearers vivid word picture of Marshal Foch, Gen. eral Haig, General Pershing, David Lloyd George, and Georges Clemen- ceau that will remain long in their memories.
 What won the war. asked the lec- turer, and answered that it was not l so much the righteousness of the
 cause, but it lay first in the character of these men, F'och, Haig and Persh- ing themselves. Contrary to the be- lief that men of war must reflect something of it's brutality, all were
 men of great spirituality and depth of character, with great feeling for the finer things of life. That famous or der by Marshal Foch, No quiet 1 fronts." did more than anything else l to throw the fear of God into the hearts of the Germans. When the if
 nal appraisal is made. said MT. Mar cosson, ranking with F'och and Haig 1 in all the bigger human qualities will 1! be General Pershing. He described General Pershing as just the opposite i of what was once said about Winston | Churchill. Pershing is a constructive pessimist, but Carson called Churchill ! a dangerous optimist, one of the kind l of men who see everything all right when everything is all wrong. It was
 Pershings genius in foresight that enabled America to answer Lloyd ! Georges call for men when the Brit

THINK YOUTHFUL BURGLARS
 WERE AT NORWICH TOWN

It is generally supposed by some of the residents in Norwich Town that the three young burglars who tried to steal a quantity of clothing at the Murphy & McGarry store on Main street Wednesday night were the same three boys who were in the ,neighbor- hood of Town street Tuesday evening about o'clock
 They aroused much suspicion as they claimed they had come from Bos- ton, yet they were inquiring the way to Putnam. When asked how it was they were in Norwich. having come from Boston, why they had not reach ed Putnam first. they replied that they came to Providence from Boston on Monday, taking a train from there on Tuesday as far as New London, later coming to Norwich. One of the boys asked where Windham was and when told it was on the state road to Willi- mantle said that was where they wanted to go.
 Another boy displayed ring and
 cuff links and tried to get money on them, also said he would like to ex- change them for something to eat The third one displayed letters .ad- dressed to RoXbury, Mass. A person whom they talked with suggested that as they were not sure where they were. and from all appearances did not know where they were going. that they re- turn to the city and get a nights lodg-
 ing at police station.
 They answered.: Nothing doingi We would rather sleep ty the way side'
 That same evening the boys were seen on the Yantic car going toward
 the city due at Franklin square at 10 o'clock.

ish were hard pressed and again to answer the call of France at Chateau
 Thierry, which MT. Marcosson said
 was the supreme epic accident of all
 time, for this battle was no part of
 the strategic plan. But the American
 army flung in then by Pershing saved
 Paris, and saving Paris saved France
 and saving France saved the world.
 Mir. Marcosson paid tribute to the
 wonderful youth and vitality and un quenchable spirit of the American army that seemed like flood of glo- rious youth flung into the war. He declared that his observations as he had been travelling on his lec- ture tour in America led him to say that we are too soon forgetting the
 war. It is a tragedy that Germany in Germany feel that they have suf- fered military defeat. They look upon their surrender as compelled by economic conditions.
 In all neutral countries declared the lecturer, the danger of Bolshevism is rearing it's head and nowhere so | threateningly as in America under the guise of the l. W. w.

VISIONARY SOCIETIES
 HEAR CALL FOR WORKERS

The Woman's Foreign Missionary society of Park Congregational church met on Friday afternoon at o'clock at the Osgood Memorial with Mrs. Henry T. Arnold. president. in the chair. Following a brief devotional service, the minutes of the last meet ing were heard, after which Mrs. Ar mold read from the branch bulletin a very lovely tribute paid to the mem ory of the late Mrs. J. M. Huntington the first vice president of the Eastern Connecticut branch, who had been connected with the society since it was first formed in 1875.
 Miss Louise Howe. as the first of the three women speakers scheduled for the afternoons program, then gave an interesting account of the Rainbow division convention, an inter church movement to start a nation wide can vaSS for oversea service in the mission field. This is designed to reach wom- CT physicians and nurses just released from war work and ready to use their energy in another fled. As two- thirds of the eastern women are .illiterate there is a pressing demand for teach
 CTS, music teachers, social workers, agricultural and horticultural experts, and a great need for translators, as
 there is only one picture book pub
 lished for little children in the Chinese language. The call comes as a special
 appeal to all women who have been
 interested in reconstruction work over
 ill devastated Europe. India, China Japan, Latin America and Africa, the very last frontier of civilization, all
 need help. It is up to us to maintain wartime standards. and the war has opened many doors closed to us in the Near East for centuries. It is hoped that this inter- church movement will result in enlisting 800 young womer
 from the United States to go as mis- sionaries to these far countries
 Mrs. A. N. H. Vaughn. as a delegate from Park church to the meeting o1 the Eastern Connecticut branch hel6 in Stonington early in April, gave 6 full report of its details, relating the needs of Armenia and Ceylon, and em- :: phasizing the fact that the church must rouse itself to meet war condi- tions. The Czecho- -Slovaks are in dirs distress for medical missionaries, ant , the Russians must be taught that so'

Y. M. c. A. Bible Study.

A goodly number attended the young mems Bible class at the Y. M. c. A. Friday evening. The scripture used was the story of Jacob and Esau, the topic being appetite and greed"
 The point was made that many a young man today sells his birthright just as cheaply as did Esau; some sell it for a glass of rum. some sell it to satisfy their passion,in fact every time fellow does anything that in terferes with his highest development to certain extent he sells his birth right The reason so many sell their birthright so cheaply they do not stop to think; if you get man to eally think of the fact that whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap" i he will not be so apt to barter away his birthright, which is an opportunity to be at his best to develop a fine char acter with the help of Jesus Christ 1 and finally obtain an entrance into heaven.
