HOLY NAME GROUP
 HEARS E. J. RYAN
ThOmastOn Speaker Dee clares U. s. Should Stay
 Out of Foreign Affairs

An enthusiastic audience attended the meeting last evening of the Holy Name society of St. Francis church and heard an address delivered by Edward J. Ryan Of Thomaston, bit- ter and outspoken opponent of Americas involvement in the pres ent European and ASiatic wars.
 The meeting was presided over by Edward Goggins, president of the society. Rev. David O'Keefe of St. Francis parish gave the invocation.
 MT. Ryan said in part:
 America is being led blindly and swiftly into war. We are following the same path we followed in 1917- 18-only faster. There are powerful forces at work in this country to drive us into war. They would have you believe that to be American it is necessary to be pro-British. If you are not pro- British you are pro- German. No longer, they would have us believe, can 8 man be just plain everyday American. ne must be pro- something or other"
 America has assumed the role of the police chief of the world. We are not interfering in the Far East where we have no great interests. Japan has never defaulted in pay ment to this country. The Standard Oil company has an investment of almost $200, ,000,O00 in the Far East :. only a drop in the bucket. we spend in this country considerably more than that every day. Whose interests will be protected by any act of aggression on our part if we continue to interfere in the Far East? Will the interests be Ameri- can tnterests2 Of course not. We would be protecting the interests of dear old England"
 "It's high time that Americans as- sert their rights as Americans and shout from the housetopS that we want no part of any foreign war or that we want any act committed which might be construed as an act of war by any beliigerent. Europe for Europeans-America for Ameri- cans" must be our slcsan," said MT. Ryan.
 ''I.et as build up our national dee fense for America, first. last and all the time. Let Us build up Q great navy, Q great army and 6 great cir force. Let lis prepare to protect this country from any enemy or any combination Of enemies. But when we build it tip let us make sure that it Is for Afnerica--faot for any other country. Let us make certain that once we acquire that national de- fenso which we need it will not be given away"
 The society voted to take care Of any Of ilS members who might be drafted by payins theiE Anas whils they age AWay.

 A football game between the In- dies, Jr., and the Warrior eleven took place yesterday at Washington park. The game brought quite a large crowd of very lively fans and the teams furnished a lot of inter est.
 The Warrior eleven is managed by Frank Lamberti, and the Indie Jrs. by James Natalie. Referees Anthony Purcaro and John Florio. Quite a dispute arose about the score-one team insisted they won by so and the opposite team insists it was GO owing to the fact that they had to put in substitute goal posts and make outside lines with small stones which naturally got out of place during teh play.
 The Warriors reported they were to have permit to use the Washington park field and that the lines and goal posts were to be in place but upon contracting the park their records do not show that any permit was given for Washington park for yesterday. However, this will be taken care of today and the lines and posts will be put in place so that the field will be ready anytime after today.
 The lineups were as follows:
 The Warrior Eleven Russiawa, 1. e.; Zazi, l. t.; Tony Santoro, l. a.; F. Lamberti, r. e.; D. Ambrosi, c. b; Lynch, r. h.; Nappi, l. h.; Iannaconi f. b.; Cannato, c. e.; Griffin, r. o.; Santoro, r. t.
