Retired Naval Head
 Speaks Here Friday
Rear Admiral George S. Rock Secured for National Dee
 fense Night Program at Buckingham Hall

1 the staff college in 1906 and from | the army war college in 1908. During the World war he served
 with great distinction on the staff of General John J. Pershing as Ga. He received the Distinguish cd Service Medal from the United
 States and numerous decorations
 from the Allies.
 Since the World war General Conner has served on the war de- partment general staff as assistant chief of staff and as deputy chief of staff. Prior to his assignment to Boston to command the First Corps Area he was commanding general of the Hawaiian depart
 ment. During his tour in New England since 1880 General Con-
 ner has become very well known and admired throughout the area. His duties in connection with the Civilian Conservative Corps have caused him to travel through all
 parts of New England during the
 past two years. He ranks fifth among the major generals of the army. It is deemed fortunate that the program committee for Ma tional Defense Night has been able to obtain this distinguished army officer as the principal speaker.
 MOlter Forceful Speaker
 Lieut.. Col. Bennett A. Molter, air reserve, national secretary of the Reserve Officers association at | Washington, D. C., has had a col- orful and interesting military
 career. After obtaining a passport
 in September 1916, for France, l ostensibly to drive an ambulance
 in Section Il of the Norton
 Harges Ambulance Corps. Col.
 Molter upon arrival in Paris en-
 listed in the Foreign Legion as Soldat Deuxieme Classe. After going through the routine at the
 Rue Dominic, he was assigned to aviation and proceeded to Bleriot school at Buc, France, where he
 began his training as a Bleriot pilot. Deemed a capable combat pilot, the early summer of 1917 found him on the Belgian front, back of Dixmude, a member of
 Escadrille N 102, pursuit
 squadron. He was member of
 the Lafayette Flying Corps and
 is a member of L'Escadrille Lay
 fayette Flying Corps association. In October, 1917, he was re- turned to the United States and
 commissioned in the aviation sec
 tion, signal corps. He served at a number of fields as instructor of aerial combat and gunnery. At Wright field, Dayton, Ohio he was in charge of the testing de- partment, armament section of
 the air corps, engaged in giving
 pra cticaI tests under combat con-
 ditions to all aircraft armament.
 Before assuming the duties of
 national secretary of the reserve
 officers association at Washington,
 Col. Molter was engaged in the | investment banking business in
 New Orleans, Louisiana. His work
 in Washington including contacts
 with congress and the war de-
 partment has helped to make
 him an outstanding authority on
 national defense matters. He is a
 forceful and interesting speaker
 and his talk will undoubtedly be
 one of the notable features of | Waterbury's National Defense
 Night program at Buckingham
 hall, Friday evening, Jan. IS, 1885.
