THURSDAY WILL BE
 WATERBURY DAY

(Continued from Page 1.) ming with activity in anticipation of the mammoth sales holiday, The idea of "Waterbury Day" was car ried out to realization couple of years ago and each year the mer- chants staging the event, have im- proved over the previous year so that they are now totally exper- fenced in presenting this unique program and are familiar with what the shoppers of the Water bury area desire.
 Bargains By Score
 With that in mind, the commit tee staging this Thursdays Water- bury Day have left no stone un- turned in completing preparations. Bargairs galore, in everything nec- essary for the home, the parents and children, will be offered for the consideration of the shoppers who are expected to swarm into the shopping districts on Thurs day.
 The merchants are really going to great lengths to make this Thursdays event the most out standing of all of the Waterbury Days.
 Fears Dissipating
 They feel that the people have come to let their fears rest on the unstable condition of the country and are willing to do their share in the spending program launched I, and outlined by President Roosevelt in his fire side chat Sunday evening. The government is ready to place more than four billion dollars into cir culation in d huge relief program. That spending prograh is expect cd to bring considerable reaction to Waterbury.
 Everybody Helps
 All sorts of agencies arc as- sisting the committee arranging this Thursdays event. The Con- necticut Company is offering its buses and trolleys for the conven- fence of the shoppers between 9:30 and II o'clock Thursday morn- ing. The shoppers may have free rides into Exchange Place be- tween those hours. The same pro- gram of cooperation is being of- fered by the independent bus lines-the North East }rranspor- tation Co. and Cooke Street line.
 Well Placarlcd
 Large banners and streamers will be placed on store windows and trucks announcing that Thurs day Is Dollar Day.
 Tomorrow's edition of the Wa terbury Democrat carries num- Der of special announcements from merchants who are cooperating In the big event and 1t is urged that the readers of this newspaper take due notice of the announce ments. There are some pleasant surprises contained in the adver- dement's and 1t will pay a wise shopper to take note of these spe-- citl buys in order to be prepared for the holiday on Thursday.

In addition, 1t was report ed that Germany was fortifying a marine base on the island of Sylt .n the North Sea.
 No Trespassing Sign
 No trespassing has been permit ted near Sylt. at the northern most end of the island, since 1882 because a marine airport was es- tablished there. In the summer of 1883 more territory was closed to visitors on the ground that bird sanctuary had been established.
 Natives of the island smile at the explanation that there is a bird sanctuary and admit that gun emplacements have been built
 It is known that there is a small gunpowder factory near Sylt, lib orally surrounded with huge Yer boten' signs.
 There is an airport, listed as commercial, at Westerland at the midway point of the island facing the North Sea and Great Britainl
 SyIt Is Chief Island
 Sylt is the chief island of the North Frisian group. It Is % miles long. It lies parallel to the German and southern Danish coasts. A railroad runs the length of the is- land.
 As to reports that a large naval air base has been established at Rostock, near the Bautic coast, it is probable that this is confused with the airport at Warnemcunde on the coast. A lake-canal joins Rostock and Warnemeunde.
 Pained surprise was expressed by officials at the British an- nouncement of submarine building It had been agreed, they said. that nothing should be done or said in a naval way until the scheduled German British naval talks. Ger many, spokesmen said, would con- tinue the do-nothing, say-nothing policy.
 Subs Will Be Fast
 Informed private sources said the prospective 25O-ton submarines some of which arc believed nearing completion in Baltic shipyards, will Do fast highly-mobile boats de- signed chiefly for use in guarding tho Skagerak entrance to the Bal t. n. q in the Baltic itself.
 It was pointed out that the rpck. and comparatively shallow wnters around Jutland are risky for heavier underseas craft, and the new submarines would be used in combination with fast light de- stroyers.
 Questions about whether Ger 1nny would observe the Versailles treaty limitations on the Kiel cana l "a secondary inlet from the North sea to the Baltic--were sidestepped by officials. The canal is already well-protected by inland fortifica- tion6.
 It was not expected Germany would proceed soon with the con- syuction of heavier submarines or surface craft about 10000 tons. In

There is an amendment now be-

the limit of modernization loans, for

The pomp, the music of the flies,
all the glory of armies is swept
away by the stark bitterness eX-
pressed by one man who thinks his
children are more fortunate to be
dead in their infancy than to be
alive in a world where babies must
go on short rations so that battle
ships may patrol the ocean.
And it may be so. For babies,
dead, will never look upon the swift
devastation of fields ripe for har-
vest, nor watch while boys fall in
flaming airplaneS, nor exist after
ward in pOverty-Stricken land
where Gods gifts to man are used
for destruction. Babies, dead, do
not grow up to see the stupidity of
leaders who, refusing to profit by
the past, repeat the same old CORY
plumbers.
Maybe they're lucky to be dead
We should write the words high
over the pulpits so the pious may
ponder on their religious; inscribe
them over the lintels of brokers and
bankers and merchants, that Big
Business may see where its money
goes; set them down upon stream
ers in college chapels for all the
brave young men to wonder what it
is that education means.
They were only three obscure lit
tie boys cut off suddenly from the
sunshine by an accident, children
whose father could not earn bread
for them in productive America.
