EX-GOVERNOR HOLCOMB
 APPEALS FOR NEAR EAST 115, ,OOO Destitute Children

NEED VERY URGENT

An appeal to the people of Conn ecticut not to forget, at Christmas time the 115,0O0 orphan children in Bible lands who depend On American charity for their lives during the coming year, was issued yesterday by Ex-governor Marcus H. Holcomb, honorary state chairman of the Near East Relief. The appeal was em- bodied in letters sent broadcast throughout the state at the expense of a friend of the cause. The fol- lowing is copy of the letter:
 "Dear Friend; .
 'I shall do good and lose no time" said Robert Louis Stevenson after reading Dickens Christmas stories. Many have found that the greatest joy consists in doing for others. How better can we express the in- tent of Christmas than by making it possible fer little children, bereft of parents, to be fed, cared for and sheltered?
 Tn Bible lands there are 1t5,000 orphan boys and girls under Ameri- can protection who can remain safe from peril only as continued support is afforded. We plead for them as Christmas approaches. Will you not help us carry on the work. We ask not for luxuries for them, but plain necessities.
 President Harding in a recent ap- peal to the nation emphasized that the Near East Relief is an officially recognized Governmental agency chartered by the United States Con gress. Non-sectarian, it administers relief regardless of race, color or creed.

Thomas W. Ryan, one of the attor- neys representing Mike and Louis Luria, recently convicted of murder in the second degree in the, superior court at Litchfeld, expects to file an appeal soon to the supreme court, requesting a new trial.
 Among the reaosns for new trial to be cited are the claims that Sher- if Frank H.tTurkington, who sum- moned the jurymen in, was preju- diced against the accused in view of a conflict he and Jailer Marvin Todd had with one of them in jail. At the time of the tfial exceptions were requested by counsel for the defense when Judge William M. Maltbie overruled Inotions requesting a change of venue and challenging the jury. It is also claimed by the de- fense that the introduetion of cer- tain evidence which gave the jury men an idea of the previous crimin- al record of the accused was in error. Ettt,t

VICTORY NOTES PAYABLE
Bearing Serial Letters A, B, C, D, E
 and F on December 18th

Particular attention is called to the announcement of the U. S. Treasury Department that Victory notes bearing the serial letters A, B, c, D, E and F are called for pay ment on December 18th and that no interest. on these notes will be paid by the government after that date.
 In commenting on this subject, Governor Charles A. Morss of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston says: "When the Victory notes were issued, they were made payable on May 20, 1923, but the government reserved the right to pay any part of them on June 15 or December 15, 1922 by giving four months notice. The governpdent has exercised it's privilege and has called for payment on December Is, 1922 Victory notes bearing serial letters A, B, c, D, E and F. These notes will be paid, principal and interest, by the Treas ury Department on December 15 and no interest will be allowed on them after that date.
 ''The Victory loan came about four months after the Armistice was signed and was made necessary by the expenses which the government had incurred in carrying on the war. It was put out at higher rate of interest than the Liberty bonds and for that reason and because of the relief to the public caused by the ending of the war, it was the most popular loan of all the Liberty loans It was distributed among many thousands of subscribers in small amounts.
 ''I urge every noteholder to look at his notes and if they bear any serial letter from A to F inclusive, the holder should arrange to have them presented to the Federal Re serve Bank for payment on Decem- beT 15, either direct or through his own bank. Holders of registered notes bearing these letters should send them, in immediately to the Federal Reserve Bank so that there may be time to have the signatures verified before the date of payment.
 "The investments in the notes which are coming due represent sav- ings and I hope the proceeds will be continued as savings, either by depositing them in banks or invest ing them in other government securi- ties"
