James RuSSeu lOWSu Wrltlng U the last century tells the crisis o to-day:
 "For mankind are one in spirit,
 and an instinct bears along, Round the earth's electric circle,
 the swift flash of right or whether conscious or uncon-
 ecious, yet Humanity's vast
 frame
 Through its ocean-sufadered
 flores feels the gush of joy or
 shame
 In the gain or loss of one race
 all the rest have equal claim" These words describe our sylnpa' thy with fallen Poland, France, ai,t the Czecf,s, the Jugoslavs, thu Greeks, Lowell also foretold thu Nazi:
 "slavery, the earthborn Cyclops,
 felleSt of the giant brood, Sons of brutish Force and Dark
 ness, who have drenched the
 earth with Blood Famished in his self-made de
 sert, blinded by our purer day, dropeS in yet unblasted regions
 for his miserable prey. Shall we guide his gory fingers
 where our helpless children
 play?"
 Careless seems the great Avenger,
 history's pages but record One death grapple in the dark
 ness, 'twixt old systems and
 the Word;
 Truth forever or the scaf1old,
 Wrong forever on the
 throne,--
 Yet that scaffold sways the fu-
 ture, and, behind the dim
 unknown,
 Standeth Goa within the shadow,
 keeping watch above his own." We sec dimly in the present what
 Is small and what is great, Slow of faith how weak an arm
 may turn the iron helm of
 fate,
 But the soul is still oracular; amid the markets dtn, List the ominous stern whisper
 from the elphic cave with
 in:--
 They ensave their children's
 children who make comprom-
 ise with sin." "Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide, In the strife of Truth with
 Falsehood, for the good or evil
 side; Hast thou chosen, o my people,
 on whose party thou shalt stand,
 Ere the doom from its worn san dals shakes the dust against
 our land?
 And the choice goes by forever
 'twixt that darkness and that
 light"
 In that conflict a century ago Connecticut men and women dared to speak and to fight for the free dom of black slaves and the Unior of the United States. Today, let Conuecticut men alit women stand for the freedom oi enslaved nations and for the United States of the world.

Two Hurt When Sub
Torpedoed Ship
7 Survivors Of Group
Of R. A. F. Recruits
Reach British Port
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GLASGOW, Sept. 6.-Four Amer
ican recruits for the r. A. F. were
drowned and two injured when the
boat in which they were crossing
the Atlantic was torpedoed, it was
disclosed here today.
The names of the drowned were
not Immediately available. Survi-
vors, who were landed at British
port yesterday, were: Tom Grifdn,
Mississippi; Jack Gilliland, Kansas;
Rivers Grove, Georgia; Norman
Echord, who left Kansas City August
19 to join the American Eagle
Squadron; James Jordan, San Fran
cisco; B. F. Mayes, Texas, and
Robert Pereshin, California.
Mr.. Mayes suffered arm injuries
and Mr.. Pereshin a broken leg. They
were taken to hospital
The survivors were reticent about
the submarine attack but said they
longed to get into action in the air.
William Beattie, Belfast seaman
who was on the torpedoed ship, told
a startling story of talking to the
submarine commander after the at
tack.
There we're four of us in a life
boat" he said, and it was water
logged when the submarine came
to the surface. The commander
seemed to be in his early twenties.
He asked if any officers were on
board
He seemed TO be ashamed OF
what he'd done and asked us what
caused the explosion. He said he
had not fired a torpedo.
''I asked him if he could give us
any water. He said he couldn't spare
any but gave us four tins of meat
and two bottles of rum"
Beattie said that when the SUBJ
marine moved of it accidentally
struck a wobbly lifeboat and the
lifeboat's stern dipped.
"The submarine commander apollo
gized," said Beattie, adding that he
was German.
Beattie said the survivors clune
to the lifeboat and RATS for II hours
before being picked up by a Polish
warship.
Altogether there were II Ameri-
can airmen on the ship, all said to
have had commercial flying expert
ence in the United States and in
addition r. A. r. training in Can
ada.

WITH THE RUSSIAN ARMY ON
THE CENTRAL FRONT, Sept. O.
I found Marshal Semeon Timo-
shenko, commander in chief OF the
Russian forces in the west and de-
fender of Moscow if and when 1t is
attacked, in the small room of log
cabin behind the lines.
He was seated at a desk on which
was spread map of military oper-
ations. The map was covered with
lines, arrows and circles and beside
it lay several well sharpened cray
ons and a box of cigarettes. The
only thing on the bleak walls was a
barometer.
Gives Impression Of Sternness.
Sitting there at his desk the
marshal looked like g bookish sort
of a man. But when he rose to the
full stature of his powerful frame
and began to pace along the narrow
passage between the desk and the
wall, his past as a cavalryman be-
came obvious. Timoshenko has a
broad face, rather massive chin, big
mouth, shaven head, narrow eyes
and a deep wrinkle over the bridge
of his nose. He gives the impress
sion Of determined and stern man.
He Immediately began talking
about the situation at the front. He
stressed that the front is extensive
covering all of Central Russia. He
described the front as very firm.
I'VE have fine troops" he SAID

Red Front Is Firm, Troops Have Lost Fear
Of Germans Bombing, Timoshenko Declares

THE bombing by German air
craft made a strong impression on
our men at first. Now they have
lost all fear of bombing"
Misled by French Experience.
The commander in chief refers to
the Germans in the singular saying
"he" or "the German" when refer
ring to the enemy.
THE Germans favorite method
is to overwhelm the foe" the mar
shall said, land this method actually
worked. Very bold tank action, ex-
cellent coordination and radio
communications and, well, very
effective tricks like their bowling
bombs, all produced tremendous re-
suits in France, results which sur
passed even the Germans expec-
tations.
I'm France the German command
conceived absolute confidence In its
troops. Well now" the marshal
smiled, "it seems the French exper-
fence misled the Germans. You
know what happened. After our
first losses everything has assumed
different aspect. The German is
not accustomed to suffering losses.
Diagnoses Germans.
When speaking of the Germans
the marshal talks calmly and OBJ
jectively. He diagnoses them like a
physician. He makes no effort to
hide his admiration for their CO.
ordination and communications.

Tax Bill Conferees
Expected 10 Agree on
Increases Next Week
Senote Action Raises
TotuI to More Than
$685. ,000, 900
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

ConfereeS for the two branches
of Congress are expected to agree
: next week to most of the increases
in the s3,583, 900, 900 defense tax bill
made by the Senate before it passed
the measure late yesterday.
Approved by the overwhelming
vote of 81 to 5, the Senate version
made a net addition Of 1857 500 900
to the House bill, of which 1892, 400, =
900 will come from higher individual
income taxes obtained by lower
ing personal exemptions from 50 600
to $500 for married persons and
from $500 to $3.50 for single persons.
Close observers of the bill believe
the House will accept the Senate
exemptions, although it would be
within the province of the confer
ees to compromise anywhere be-
tween the House and Senate levels.
The fact that a new lease-lend ap-
preparation is in the offing, which
would increase the revenue needs
of the Treasury, strengthens the
belief that the tax bill as finally
enacted will retain most of the Sen
ate increases.
LaFollette Steps Aside.
Senator LaFollette, Progressive,
of Wisconsin. who led the fight
against the bill, took the unusual
step of asking the Senate not to
make him one Of its conferees, be-
cause he is out of sympathy with
the distribution of the new taxes.
He contended too much of the bur-
den was placed on wage earners as
against corporation excess profits.
In addition to the lower eXemp-
tions, which will bring in 5000 900
new returns, create 2,265 900 new
