Neisner is 75 years of age and is the sole sur yiving Jewish veteran in Connecticut. In honor of the great occasion, a splendid address was made by Chap lain David Tannenbaum of S2nd Di- vision in France, who told of his ex- perfences abroad, and by the Hon. Joseph H. Ullman, past president District Grand Lodge No. 1, I. O. B. B. pr. Louis Snirnew, who is rapidly gaining recognition in the literary field. read a poem composed by him. self in honor of MT. Netsner. The poem Is high tribute to the splendid work of the veteran during the Civil War and tells the story of the part the Jew plays in the hour of his coun- try's need.
 A special musical program was ar ranged in which Miss R. Berger and Miss D. Bernstein favored with vocal selections and Miss Adelaide Zieg1er, piano selections The Boy Scouts gave a very interesting drill which earned a good deal of applause. Dr. Smirnow's poem is as follows:
 SERVICE.
 8
 Lo! in the hour of his country's need The Jew, whom no one erst gave
 thought or heed, Steps forth, though diff1ident, yet res-
 olute,
 To embrace his duty and his flag sa-
 Iute.
 Be 1t to give his fortune without
 measure, Or to shed his hearts blood, his only
 treasure, He fronts the ranks of service volun-
 teered, Marching to martial strains, and to
 the echo cheered. Ah,= venerable soldier, thus I see Thee in thy age-youth, justly glort-
 fled,
 Thou having fought thy fight that all
 be free
 In this Land of Freedom, and justi-
 fled
 Thy course in that the Union was
 preserved Humanity by none was better served At, Andetam honored by the foe With bullet wounds,-hoW did the bat
 tie go! And at Manassas, Bull Run, Gettys-
 burg,
 At the Potomac, Sharpsburg, F,reder-
 icksburg, What glorious deeds hast thou enacted
 then,
 To be ne'er efaced from the memory
 of men

All the aviator need do Ia to press a
key which sends forth the power that
absolutely controls the object In the
water. He can guide ship safely
through a crowded harbor or send
super-torpedo against the biggest bat
tleship through the enemy's screen.

with this creation the German sub

according to the claims Of Mr.. Ham
mond, a direct hit by his torpedo can
be secured In eight out OF ten shots,

Sealing Voyage Pays Little.

The Newfoundland sealing voyage
for 1919 closed recently with the small
est catch in recent years. Only ten
ships, the smallest fleet since 1870,
prosecuted the industry, the crews
numbering 1855 men, and the total
catch amounting to 81, 293 pelts, valued
at $278, 145. This gives a decrease In
number Of 7O,148 and in value Of 1885,
4O7, compared with the 1913 voyage.
The poor fishing seemed to be due to
adverse weather conditions, ice being
too closely packed for vessels to navi-
gate properly, and to the fact that the
seal were scattered. The price Of
young seal pelts was placed at So per
hundredweight, as against SIP for 1913,
and $3.50 to 81 for other qualities as
against 50 to $3.50.

The two men crossed the street and
planted themselves behind her. They
were speaking in a tongue that sound

were in pursuit of her.
