OF COURSE!

The United States government has called upon New Britain to furnish 1 men between the ages of IS and 4b to serve 1t, their country. The gov ernment has given New Britain short time to do it--only week. But a week is plenty. There was once a time when the country needed men and only few minutes were given men to get ready. They didn't need all the minutes given them, and they had some pretty fierce work to face.
 A,week Is ample time. The only reason for emphasizing the facts IS that there may be tendency among men to take it for granted that there will be no difficulty about raising the company of the National Guard, and men will fail to come forward and en- list because they arc '1etting the other fellow do it." Should this situation develop 1t would be degraceful. The only way to prevent it is for every man who can do so without incon- vience to go to the armory and enlist. or course inconvenience" would be no reason for holding back if there were any real danger that New Britain would not furnish the company would not answer the call. That can not be allowed to come. There are plenty of men who can enlist just as we'll as not. If anyone thinks the things that will be demanded of them will be too great, let such persons at least go to the armory and find out.
 The country has called upon New Britain to take its part in the work Of preparing to defend the country. It is inconceivable that New Britain will hesitate. New Britain will be proud to be represented in the Ma tional Guard. All men take notice.

 To be brutally frank, the Observer doesn't think that many young ladies will wear the lizard-and- combi- nation. A pretty girl likes to be told that she is pretty and if fellow. lacking an introduction, cannot say so in so many words he will drink to her beauty with his eyes, and maybe wink.

 New Britain has a great many pretty girls.
