This Memorial Park is both our glory and sacred place. It commem orates those who died and were willing to make their bodies a barricade between our country and it's foes.

Several Other Speakers
 Several other speakers were on the program yesterday, among them Dr. Thomas c. Hodgson. who was chair man of the committee which had charge of the erection of the tablet He told of the work done by this committee and of the results of this work, characterizing the tablet as a lasting memory of what the Berlin men haye done.
 F. L. White, representing the state department of the American Legion, also spoke. He told of the general purpose of Armistice Day and of the work of the Legion in forwarding the message of the day. Captain Charles E, Lockhart of New Haven, in command of the 102d in fantry during the war, and man speaker. He was one of the guests of honor yesterday and his talk vas one appropriate to the day, although he spoke impromptu.
 Service Was Impressive
 It was an impressive affair and there were tears in the eyes of many when Rev. MT. Mclaughlin spoke of the boys who are now lying in graves in France.
 Never before has such an event been seen in the town. School chil- dren, many of them were there, and all of them, from the tiniest tot in the first grade to the young men and women i'll tho junior high school, realized the significance of the oc- casion and paid strict attention to what was going on.
 The rendition of the old war songs brought back memories of 1918 to many of those present. over There" Its a Long Way to Tipperary," Keep the Homo Fires Burning" Smile" "'TnI We Meet Again" There's a Long. Long Trail" and Smile, Smile, Smile" were among the tunes sung. The Ameri- can band of New Britain accom-

PEACE WA7CHWORD
 0F BERLIN AFFAIR Impressive Ceremonies at Dedi,
 cation of Bronze Tablet
 MCLAUGHLIN DELIVERS TALK
Mems Lyoeum Elects Officers Denies He Was "Gypped' by stranger-Whists Begin To- night--Other Items of Interest.

Response to the country's call,
 loyalty. sacrifice and peace are the
 four messages brought to the people
 of Berlin by the bronze tablet erect
 ed in memory of those men and
 women who served in the World
 War, according to Rev. Richard H.
 Mclaughlin Of Hartford, chaplain of
 the 169th Infantry, who was the
 speaker at the joint Armistice Day
 celebration and dedicatory exercises
 in Berlin yesterday afternoon.
 His talk was straight and to the
 point. The first message, he said, is
 prompt response when the country is
 in danger Those men whose names
 appear on the tablet put everything
 aside and answered their country's
 call. The draft law, he said, was
 really not needed, as those boys took it upon themselves to help the Unit cd States when she needed them.
 The members of the Grand Army
 of the Republic are living examples Of response to the country's call, he said. Since I was little fellow, l have remembered the Grand Army man who came and spoke to us on Memorial Day, living example of patriotism" Theodore Roosevelt, he said, was another man who was eady to go when the country called him.
 The second message. loyalty, is all too plainly spoken by the tablet. a loyalty nothing can dishonor. Then the third message, sacrifice. The men who went to France gave Up everything, said the speaker. They gave up father. mother, sweet heart, opportunities and even their lives to help when they were most needed. We all feel pretty happy today. Sort of glad to be alive. But non't forget that there are some of those boys who are not alive and who will never come back" Plea For Peace
 Do away with war" That was the appeal sent out by the speaker as he told of the fourth message of the tablet, peace. He said the United States soldiers did not go in- to the war for any reason except te do good. They were working for international peace, fighting wal with war.
 The speaker urged the people to do all in their power to prevent war, to save the coming young men the agones experienced by the young men during the world war. The tablet he said, is asking the people to find some way Of absolutely doing away with war.
 Rev Mir. Mclaughlin spoke at length about the grave of the un- known soldier describing in a sim pie, but eloquent manner just what that grave in the Arlington ceme- tery means to the people of the United States. Before ending his talk he again made a plea for in- tcrnational peace.
 Peace, was the watchword Of the nyerCises. The speakers did not brag ! of what the United States djd in the I world war, or what other countries did In that war. Instead, they held up the war as a shining example of ] what should not hc. characteri5ing that struggle as the worst the world
 has ever known and making il plain

Pants With a Pull
Provide Good Tow Rope

No more need the stranded
motorist worry as to how he is to
be pulled out of a muck hole or
drawn home If his automobile is
temporarily hors de combat.
|, All he has got to do is to take
off his p, err, his trousers,
hitch one leg to his front axle, tie
the other to a friendly car and he'll
be towed all right. That is, he'll
be given 100 per cent rescue
provided he uses the Tug Of War
pants now being demonstrated in
Augusta.
A representative Of the Sweet
Orr Co, which manufactures these
pants-with- a-pull staged a demon
stration on Water street Wednesday
that showed just how far trousers
may be used aside from being
covering for the neither extremeties.
In Market square when folks
were going home to their MONDAY
meal, this little show temporarily
took thoughts off the Indictment
weather. A Dodge roadster backed
up to a Dodge truck that carried a
fair-sized load. To each leg of a
pair of Sweet Orr pants a rope
was tied and then the ropes were
hitched to roadster and truck.
Iu-u-u-u-i, z-u-u-u-u-u," went
the horn on the roadster, the i'm
peding crowd scattered and away
went roadster. pants and truck,
headed north in the general direc-
ton of Canada. But the trip stop
ped at the Edwards mill, cause that
was the end of the street. The
pants were examined, found to be
as good as before the demonstra
ton and an opportunity given to
some bright wag to concoct a new
