 97,0OO Volunteers
 All the world knows something of that story of Easter Monday and succeeding days and months on vimy Ridge. There were 97,000 Canadians in that battle and every man volunteer. The Canadian casualties that second week in April were over 11,O0O. But the line went forward, up the Ridge, over the top and the line held yer after. Even the great German offensive of the spring of 1918 left Viny Ridge in the hands of the allies.
 Today we celebrate another. of those glorious, ghastly feats of arms that stagger the imagination and wiring the heart. We are lost in admiration at such heroisn. We are sickened at the thought of all that it cost and the little we have bought of peace and safety with the price they paid. God grant that in our remembrance of the heroS for whom the trumpets have sounded on the farther shore we shall dedicate our- selves once again and more feryent- ly than ever before to the task of battling and defeating their one great enemy, the war system itself, the great god Mars.

The 20th anniversary of the bat tie of Vimy Ridge was observed with special services yesterday morning at the Second Congregational church by the local post of the Canadian Legion.
 Delegations from post in all parts of the state, from Lord Kitchener post, British War Veterans, and the local auxiliary of the Canadian Legion, were in attendance. A memorial ritual was conducted by Commander Duncombe Rose and a sermon entitled Our Neighbors and Our Friends" was delivered by Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, pastor of the church.
 There must be some way out of this vicious circle of war, exhaus- tion, rearmament and war" said Dr.. Walker in his address.
 Surely we have intelligence enough to save the world from collective. suicide: One of our contemporary phil. sophers has said that war has no fury like a n-combatant." Well 1t is high time that we were quite emphatic about turning our furious and militaristic non-combatants in- to shock troops. If the diplomats and statesmen fell in their manifest duty to protect the peace, let them expiate their failure by manning the front line trenches. If the mu- milton makers are certain that they must be counted among our great est patriots because they furnish the sinews of war for us at fabu- lous profits, let them and their sons be the first to get into active service, let them try 8 dose of their own medicine at point blank range. Let them stay with active service until the medicine begins to take effect. Prhapes it would be good policy to be little less careful of the gener- als in the next war. don't remem- Der of reading of 8 single general on a casualty list. At least one general ought to go over the top with every major offensive. There is nothing like first hand information on things of this sort.
 1claim no particular oroginality for suggestions of this nature. They have been made before. What say is that we ought to take them seri- ously and we ought to keep on pounding away at them until the brass hats and the swivel chair Sol- diers take them seriously. This whole war system ought to be ta- ken apart and studied dispassiona- ately and scientifically. We want to see who gets the profits out of this business and who bears the losses. We want to know what nation has to show for its gigantic sacrifices in modern warfare. We want people to make sure that they are not the catpaws for stupid, antiquated in efficiency in statescraft or vicious. inhuman lust and greed for profits in preparedness and munitions. We want to know what the greatest war in world history had to do with the the greatest depression in world

Just think of it. This is 1887 and in sixteen
 more years Waterbury will certainly pause long enough to celebrate great event. The year will be 1858. Know your history? Well back in 1853 by act of the Legsa lature Waterbury was made city. So tooth anni- yersary of this big event is just generation away
 Wonder what the city will look like in 1853. Maybe we won't be here to view it. Will the Green be done be mayors in American cities then?. Will there be a United States of America then?. Sixteen years ago we still feeling the effects of the World war and everything was still pretty much mitary-mnded and military y-conscious. If another big war inter- venes before 1853 whatu be the state of affairs in the Brass City them. Bet you conjecture up marvellous state of affairs, cant you?

When the lc- ain from Roth enburg arrived at Berlin two hours late the conductor reported that at Pfeffenhausen woman wanted to get of with her child. She placed her parcels and perambulator on the platform, but the train started be- fore she could alight. At the next station the engineer was told about the passengers plight. He took the train back two and one-half miles to Pfeffenhausen to let the woman of.

For future reference It was written by Gov Wilbur L. Cross in setting up Arbor and Bird Day for 1887 In future years you'll find great comfort in reading the official documents of Our Wilbur so why not start clipping his proclamatons. Here's start:
 'In the belief that interpret rightly the vital in- teress of the people of Connecticut in the tion of ali natural beauties and other native assets of this favored state, proclaim Friday, April 23, next, as Arbor and Bird day Let the children in their schools and men and women in thel homes observe this day, they have done h the past by planting of trees and shrubs thus turing to human shelters the song of birds and providing for ourselves the shade that shields the monday sun. Let take occasion also to be minded of hisides and valleys, where too eager conquest of the land has threatened wild life of all
 kinds, I00sed the floods and ie0paFdized the very soil nself. Let cherish foSesta and fields and serve with care "the kindly fFuIla sf the earth"

Rev. Theodore c. Boblin says alcohol will remove grass stains from clothes. It will also summer clothes, also winter and spring clothes not only from the who drinks it. but also from his wife and children will also remove household furniture from the house and eibles from the pantry the smile from the face of his wife and the happiness from the home.

Our Prosperity Is Linked to That
of Other Nations

The World war brought many
changes to the United States. Our
industrial development was great
before the World War, but this
great struggle brought about un-
dreamed amount of industrial ex-
pansion to the United States. The
United States did export manufac-
lures on a huge scale during the
World War. Such new, and great
industries as the automobile and
moving picture started, and de-
pended on articles from foreign
lands.
The United States before the
World War was a debtor nation,
after the war it was the worlds
largest single creditor. Great
corporations in this country such
as Ford, Standard Oil Company,
