From 1882 to 1866 wages in
Connecticut were very low as
compared with those of today, if
the entries made in the day book
of Dennis Pritchard are an ex-
ample. During that period men
were paid less per day than the
average man now receives per
hour. Mr.. Pritchard, as we have
learned was a very versatile man
and was engaged in many fields
of industry. We presume the men
mentioned in his book assisted him
in one or another of these various
industries, thus giving us an idea
of the wages paid in the differ
emit fields of labor. Wages listed
range from five to fourteen dollars
per month, with one lone excep-
ton, that of Luther Sperry, who
on May 9th began work for one
year at $40 per month. In some
cases the wages are given as
yearly and are as low as $50 per
year. Some of these wages 1t is
true, were paid to very young boys
possibly serving an apprenticeship

During that period Young bows
and sometimes girls were often

ten years of age. These children,
however, seldom received wages
but only their board and clothing
as nav one page of entries re-
fers to Ambrose v. Alcott. From
the History of Wolcott we learn
that Ambrose Alcott was born on
sept. 10. 1920. He was the young
est child of Joseph Chatfield Al
coy (Alcott) and Anna Bronson
Alcox (Alcott), and the brother of
the well known Amos Bronson
AIcott At the time he entered
the employment of Dennis Prit-
chard, June 10, 1882, he was be-
tween eleven and twelve years OF
age. This early employment was
not unusual In his family for we
find IN a history OF his brother
Amos, "At the age OF fourteen ne
worked a while at clock making,
in Plymouth, and the same year
went on an excursion into north
ern Connecticut and western
Massachusetts. selling Few ar
ticles as he went to help meet
the expenses OF his Journey"
Those were certainly the days OF
opportunity. Ambrose Alcott was
to receive thirty dollars Tor a

chard. But Dennis drove a hard

Evening star., 1940-05-19
BY David Lloyd George.

Most serious factor in the situation
Is the apparent aerial supremacy which
the Germans command. During a Pc
ROD OF four years before the war, Hit
Ter and Goering built up an immense
air force while France and Britain
were dawdling in leisurely, haphazard
fashion with the problem of construct
Ing an adequate number of airplanes to
lace the growing menace. The ques-
ton now is whether by putting forth
utmost exertions they can bridge the
gap between themselves and their dam
gerous foes.
AS any one who has had any expert
ence IN turning out munitions of war
knows too well, the preliminaries for
manufacture occupy a long time before
you can reach a substantial output.
Once your factories are set up and are
equipped with the necessary machinery
and tools, numbers may be multiplied
with extraordinary rapidity.
Neither here nor in France was that
important consideration realized, and
even at the beginning of the war we had
not taken the necessary measures to OBJ
tain essential machine tools for guns,
tanks or planes. During the first seven
months OF this war we did not seem
to appreciate what we were up against,
and processes Of manufacture were con-
sequently not quickened with the energy
and foresight which were essential to
making up our defenses. .
Germany Preparing Constantly.
Meanwhile, Hitler, in one of his re-
cent speeches, boasted that during those
months when we thought he was hesi-
tating to attack and we were challeng-
ing him to come on, Germany was max
ing the most prodigious efforts to in
crease her equipment in every direc-
ton. Here we had well over million
Of our workers unemployed. In Germany
every available man was engaged in some
vital task. In addition, hundreds of
thousands of workers were brought in
from other countries.
There is one aim and purpose which
must now dominate our allied strategy,
and that is to hold on relentlessly until
our manufacturers make up for lost time,
and equip our armies with machinery
to enable them to face their redoubtable
enemy with mechanical equality, and II
possible, superiority.
There must be an abundance Of air.

check the enemy's advance but to beat
him back. Herein America can help us
without departing from her neutrality.

Germany with her sinister powers of
destruction by sea and air, has by recent
events brought herself hundreds of miles
nearer to our shores. Whatever the
ultimate objective she hopes to attain by
this last gigantic coup, there is no doubt
that one of her principal aims is to
secure bases from which she can more
effectively harass and attack England.

BRITAIN READY FOR BLOW-LLOYD GEORGE
One Aim Now Is Hold On Until Brought to Beor

LONDON-It is difficult to express
any opinion upon the military situa-
tion when in few hours it may be
completely changed, either through the
failure or the success of one of the
swift and unexpected strokes which con-
stitute such an essential part of Ger
man military tactics.
For the moment the news is dis
couraging. There is real danger that
the Maginot Line, bulwark of France
hopes, may be turned. But I have seen
worse situations retrieved and converted
into final victory by courage and prompt
action.
The difficulty is increased by over
hanging doubt regarding the intentions
OF Italy. Italian Intervention would ef-
feet a complete change in the whole
strategic position.
Dutch Were Valiant.
That the Dutch should have been
resistance is no reflection on the valor
OF their troops. The fact that 100000
men-one-fourth of their total army
were killed in the actual fighting proves
the indomitable courage with which
they fought for the independence of
their native land. Their casualties were
equal to the whole of the losses sustained
by the German Army in the Franco
Prussian War of 1871.
Belgium is a much more defensible
country than Holland; moreover, great
masses of French and British troops
already have come to the aid of the Bel
gian Army with planes and heavy artil-
lery. But Immediately the prospect is
none too good In numbers the allied
airplanes are by no means equal to
those which the Germans have put into
the air, although they already have
proved in many combats their skill,
courage and efficiency.
Tanks Give Good Account.
Whether the allied tanks are numeri-
cally as powerful as those which the
Germans have at their command re-
mains to be seen. Where they have gone
into action against armored cars of the
enemy they have already given very
good account of themselves The fierce
battle now being fought will decide the
question whether the allied armies will
be forced to retreat to well-prepared
defenses which can neither be broken
nor outflanked.
