and our American boys who
fought in it, dislike to recall its
terribleness. We dwell today
upon it's glories-the courage, the
heroism, the greatness of spirit
in men. I myself, should like to
forget all else. But today, with
the world driving recklessly into
it again, there is much we must
not forget. Amid the afterglow
Of glory and legend we forget
the filth, the stencil, the death,
of the trenches. We forget the
dumb grief of mothers, wives and
children. We forget the unend-
ing blight cast upon the world by
the sacrifice of the flower of
every race.
was one of but few civilians
who saw something of the Battle
of the Somme. In the distant
view were the unending trenches
filed with million and a half
men. Here and there, like ants,
they advanced under the thunder
and be1ching volcanoes from TO-
600 guns. Their lives were
thrown away until half million
had died. Passing close by were
amending lines of men plodding
along the right side of the road
to the front, not with drums and
bands, but with saddened resig-
nation. Down the left side came
the unending lines of wounded
men, staggering among unending
stretchers and ambulances. Do
you think one can forget that?
And it was but one battle of a
hundred.
Ten million men died or were
manned for life in that war.
There were millions who died
unknown and unmarked. Yet
there are miles of unending
crosses in thousand cemeteries.
The great monument to the dead
at Ypres carries the names of
10000 Englishmen who died on
but small segment of the front.
Theirs was an inspiring heroism
for all time. But how much
greater a world it would be to-
day If that heroism and that
character could have lived.
Humanity Suffers.
And there was another side no
less dreadful. I hesitate to re-
call even to my own mind the
nightmares of roads filed for
long miles with old men, young
women, and little children drop
ping of fatigue and hunger as
they fled in terror from burning
villages and oncoming armies.
And over Europe these were not
just q few thousands, but over
the long years that scene was
enacted in millions.
And there was the ruthless kill
ing of civilians, executed by fir
ing squads who justified their
acts, not by processes of justice,
but on mere suspicion of trans
gression of the laws of war. Still
worse was the killing Of men,
women, and even children to
project terror and cringing sub
mission. To the winds went
every sense Of justice. To the
winds went every sense of de-
cency. To the winds went every
sense Of tolerance. To the winds
went every sense Of mercy. The
purpose of every army is to win.

BISHOP CASSIDY
 LEADS IN PROTEST

Wareharn, Mass, Jan. 16-(UP)- The Most Rev. James E. Cassidy, Catholic Bishop of Fall River, led a of clergymen last night in denouncing pari-mutuel betting as a corrupter of communities.
 He protested against a petition for a dog-racing license by the Cape Cod kennel club here, in forum at Pilgrim Memorial high school.
 Tt is ridiculous to call dog and horse racing sport" Bishop Cassidy said. Tt is simon-pure gambling and I oppose gambling instinctively.
 Gambling, seeking to get some thing for nothing, degenerates and destroys character. It corrupts com munit:es. It leads to bribery. Vest port and Wareham, both peaceful communities, are now beset by the professional gamblers, than whom no humans are lower.
 "I'm glad that conditions in our state changed SO that we could get new blood on our racing commits sion. That body now has higher ideals and I hope they will give you people better deal than I was giv- en by the former commission at WeStDort."

MAY REOPEN OLD
 GERMAN SPY CASE

Washington, Jan. 16.-(UP)- Representatives of the United States sought today to reopen litigation in the $50,000,000 Black Tom and Kingsland spy cases involving American munitions plants de- stroyed a few months before this country entered the World War.
 U. s. interests asked the three- man international mixed claims commission to reconsider an eight year cid decision in favor of Ger many. Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Roberts, umpire for the commission, will hear the petition for reconsideration.
 American representatives charge that explosions and fires which de- stroyed ammunition trains at the Black Tom railroad pier in New Jersey and a munitions plant at Kingsland, N. J., in 1916 and 1917 were set by German spies seeking to prevent shipment of munitions to the Allies.
 The commission held in 1880 that the claims were not sufficiently sub- stantiated by evidence, but Ameri- can interests now charge fraud, per- jury and corruption on the part of the German government in the pre- Sentation of veidence.

Other dealers, noticing a decline in business because of such compe- tition, hastened to procure gas which could be retailed at a cor respondingly low price. They soon noted, however, that despite the re- turn of business, there was a heavy output of the cheaper gas, and a noticeable decline in the sale ot regular and high test. k This resulted in the allowance o1 discounts on the more expensive gases, and precipitated the condi- tion which now exists. At first the discounts were allowed only to regu- lar customers, and then very secret ly.
 Race Gets Under Way
 Last week, however, a central sta- tion installed a huge sign upon which was emblazoned the message that the two cents discount for cash would be allowed to one and all. It then became race between filling station operators to deter mine who would install the biggest sign first. And the war was on.
 Possibility that the national com- panies which service the local sta tions would mix in the local price strife was viwed as unlikely by President Lane today. He said that in almost every case the individual stations are under the management

 To Father Coughlin

mained open for two extra hours last night and handled number of the messages today. Among the unusual messages last night was one from Naugatuck to which there were 20 Signers. One man wanted to know if he could add his name to a joint message" of all who called but most of the telegrams were sent in individually or in groups of be- twene five and ten persons.
 His Power Still Seen
 Power of the Detroit radio priests hold on his public was indicated by the numbers of group" messages which came in late last night, showing that some of the listeners had conferred on sending the mes sages and had combined their pro- test" over lifting of the embargo on arms to Spain.
 Father Coughlin told his hsten- CTS that lifting of the embargo would defeat the purpose of the neutrality act which he described as "the only way for America to keep out of war"
 Rest Of Nation
 Washington, Jan. 16-CUP)- A flood of telegrams inspired by the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin protesting any change in the neutrality law or any modification in the embargo on war materials to Spain, rolled in on Congress today.
 Offices of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph here and in New York, Chicago and Kansas City, re- ported themselves swamped with night letters addressed to members of Congress, all in the same general vein.
 While an exact comparison was not possible, traffic managers es- timated that the volume was as heavy if not heavier as when Coughlin last asked his followers to telegraph congressmen-at the time last years government reorganiza- tion bill was about to be voted on in the House.
 In his weekly radio sermon yes- terday, Coughlin said the United States should keep hands off the Spanish embargo" lest it be "regim- ented into another World War"
 Send Them On
 Whether you can afford it or not, send a night letter to your con- gressman today or tomorrow" he said, and let the United States gov- ernment know that we refuse to be regimented into another World War through the back door of the Spanish embargo.
 "The only way for America to keep out of war is to keep on keep ing out of war. And this means neutrality; this means not engaging in the sale of arms. munitions and implements of war to the haters of Christianity. This means not lift ing the embargo on Spain or any other nation"
 He said he believed that the American League for peace and democracy would persuade Congress that the country wanted the en- bargo lifted.
 Soon after he left the air, the big relay points of the two tele- graph companies were swamped.
 In Washington, the Western Union had handled 18,000 telegrams by 8 p. m. From p. m. until mid- night, they came in at the rate of 10000 an hour. After midnight, the flow dwidled to 4,000 an hour. Both Postal and Western Union were working extra forces.

of the attendant, for him to deter mine he policies.
 Prices . Rock Bottom
 He said that unless the companies do interfere, there will not be any additional slash in gasoline prices. "The prices are at rock bottom now" he said.
 Determination to drop prices to the very bottom was reached a recent meeting of the gasoline re- taileys association when the war was declared.
 In regular times. gasoline retails at 20 cents for ethyl, IS cents for regular and IA cents for sub-grade. Some stations charge IS cents the latter.
 At the present, however, the cale of prices is l5 1-2, 13 1-2 and 12 1-2 in that order of grade.
 Action of Aldermen
 Last Monday night the board Of aldermen unanimously adopted an ordinance limiting the size of gaso- line station prices igns to eight by 12 inches. Not as yet signed by Mayor Hayes, it has not become a law. There is much question as to it's legality. Should Mayor Hayes sign it and make it effective im- mediately, there would be much concern among the warning gasoline dealers.
 Waterbury's last gasoline war, an affair of several years ago. was ter minated when dealers met and de- cided upon a policy of prices. MT. Lane said today that no conferences are slated as yet.

Seventh Panel to Report

seventh fanei 70 hepOrt
 The seventh panel of veniremen, an unprecedented number in recent Connecticut court history, will report for prospective acceptance as the needed alternate tomorrow at 10:00 o'clock. Since the trial started November 29. 778 veniremen have been called to Waterbury and thus far only 13 have been accepted as jurors.
 Four hundred and 94 have actual ly been questioned while the balance with the exception of the 101 report ing tomorrow, have been excused by Judge Inglis for reasons of business or health.
 That the needed juror will be ob- tained from the latest venire of 101 is accepted as foregone conclusion. The state has only Al peremptory challenges remaining, while the 220 once available to the defense have diminished to 27.
 Costly To State
 It has cost the state approxim- ately $l,000 each for the IS jurors impaneled thus far. This includes payments of $4 each and travelling expenses each day to the veniremen who have reported for questioning, the services of sheriffS, and various other expenditures in line with the conduct of court during the polling of a jury.
 Should MT. Slavin return to the trial tomorrow, and MT. Fleming be able to attend next Tuesday, there is more probability that the first testimony will be presented in the case next Tuesday.
 May Set Stage For Start
 Selection of the l4th and final juror early this week would provide Special Prosecutor Alcorn sufficient time to not only move his mass of exhibits from Hartford to Water bury, but would also avail him of the opportunity of otherwise setting the stage for the opening of the actual fireworks in the trial.
 The other 13 jurors will be given few days advance notice of the time they must report for the start of the testimony, according to Judge Inglis.
 While the official cost of the trial will not be known until the conclu- sion, it is known that it will be more than $10O.0O0. To date, ex- cluding the cost of the jury polling.
