COMMITTEE CALLS FOR ADDITIONAL S2, ,OO0
Plan Canvass
 Of Citizens Not
 Contributing Now
200 Families in Need of Immediate Aid. Says Harris.
 Added Money Must Be Secured as Soon as Pos- sble in Order to Alleviate Suffering and Distress

Spurred on by the growing need for relief among the city's unem- plyode. the Mayors Unemployment Relief committee to-day started a drive for additional funds, which will involve canvass of every business and mercantile establishment in the city of Waterbury, which is not con- tributing to the unemployment fund, as well as every man and woman in the city who is working and who is not contributing to the fund.
 William M. Harris, chairman of the relief committee, announced this morning that 200 families are in need of relief at once and that $2,000 in weekly pledges must be se- cured at once in order to care for them. He said that this can be &C., complfshed by persons, who are not now contributing to the fund doing so at once. Employees of his office are making a canvass of business firms, which had not been previously solicited, but in the interest of se- needed he urges all merchants and business men, who are not now con- tributing to volunteer their help. This can be done by notifying Lewis s. Reed of the Citizens and Manufac- turers Bank, who Is treasurer of the fund, of their desire to contribute weekly and having their employees do the same thing.
 All that is required in the nature /. of a weekly subscription is one per cent of the salary of persons mak- ing up to $50 a week, one and one- half per cent of the wages of per- sons making between $50 and $100 per week and three per cent of the salaries of persons making over $100.
 As matters now stand the sum of approximately $15,000 week is be- ing contributed by Waterburians in all walks of life for the relief of and in need. If everybody who is able will join the fund MT Harris states that the big job of taking care of the unemployed will be a success. If they fail the job, which has been going along so splendidly will fall short. He says that he can- not emphasize too strongly the ne- cessity of everybody doing their bit.
 The drive now on will include den- lists and professional men of all kinds, many of whom have not con- tributed and who are we'll able to do so, as well as several business men, many of whom although they reap profits every week from the $15,OO0 placed in circulation by the mayors committee have failed to contribute @ penny.
 Although the new drive is only just starting it is meeting with con- siderable success. Among those who joined to-day and who had not pre- vieusly joined for the reason that they had not been solicited individ- ually, were employees of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail-

(By Democrat Staff N1an)

Hartford, Feb 5.-Senator Joseph H. Lawlor has presented to the sen- ate his amended bill which requires the registry and licensing of those selling or dealing in securities in Connecticut. His original bill, in skeleton form, was presented last week. The proposed act requires that dealers and salesmen must register and obtain licenses from the bank commissioner before selling stocks and bonds.
 The bill aims to eliminate wild cat" salesmen from the stock and bond field. Building and Loan asso- citations of the state, dealing in the issuance and sale of their own stock, are not involved in the bill. The term dealer, according to the bill, includes every person or company who engages for profit in the sale of, or otherwise deals in, any se- curity or securities, except in the fol- low transactions:
 Dealing in security issued or guaranteed by the United States. q political subdivision thereof or a na- tional bank; sales by fiduciaries; an isolated transaction by the owner of a security who is not an under writer thereof; Q sale of security pledged in good faith in the ordi- nary course of business to liquidate a bona fide debt; sale to Q bank or trust company of Connecticut or any registered person or company; a sale or disposition of unsecured commer- cial paper; sale or disposition of mortgages upon real or personal property, within the state where the entire mortgage is sold or trans ferred with the security; a sale by a company of its own securities in good faith for the sold account or inc issuer: the disposition of its own securities by a Connecticut corpora tion whose authorized capital stock added to its other outstanding Sc. curities does not exceed $25,O00, If such securities are issued and dis posed of for the sole account of the issuer in good faith.

president, that the deposits of the in

the expectations, and it clearly shows,
according to the belief there, that the

more than a mere depository for the
central banks of various nations, so
that even if the reparations payments
should later be put on some other
basis, or cease entirely, the bank
would still be certain to continue to

TOR many months the world has
been reading about the first ar
mored cruiser built by the German re-
public under the limits imposed by the
Versailles treaty. 1t was described as
a wonderful vessel of 10000 tons so
powerful that it was called the west
pocket battleship." Well, it was
launched the other day at Kiel in the
presence of huge crowd of officials
and citizenry, but the event was
married by a conflict of orders that
resulted in the ships being loosed to
slide down the ways before President
Hindenburg had a chance to break the
bottle of champagne on its bows and
christen it Deutschland.
The new ship defes the Washing
ton treaty classification. 1t is neither
a capital ship nor cruiser but is
superior to both. Limited to 10000
tons, it Is much heavier armed than
other ships Of the same size. 1t is
equipped with six 11-inch guns throw
ing projectiles weighing $50 pounds.
In velocity, which is said to be as
much as 26 knots, the new ship is
superior to capital ships. The hull
Of the cruiser is of shallow draft and
so minutely compartmented as to make
it comparatively safe against tor
pedoes and mines. The usual heavy
turbines have been replaced by Diesel
motors, which give radius of action
of over 10000 miles, The cost of the
ship was $20,0O0,000.
