CAMP AT CONGAMOND A DECIDED SUCCESS Boys Return Praising Delights of Y. M. C. A Outing. ‘Well tanned and healthy from the outdoor life and many of them en- thusiastic to return to the camp next year, the Y. M. C. A. boys who have been camping at Lake Congamond for the past two weeks returnea home Wednesday. Forty-one young men and boys attended the camp this year and made it one of the best and biggest that the Y. M. C. A. has ever con- ducted. In every way the two weeks was enjoyable in spite of the baa weather at the beginning. So much ’ E. W. YERGIN, Boys’ Secretary, Y. M. C. A. did the boys like it that on the night after their return a crowd of them voluntarily gathered in the directors’ office and announced that they could be counted on for the camp next year and even organized a party to return tomorrow and spend Sunday there. Organization of Camp. The camp was under the direction of the Y. M. C. A. Boys' Secretary E! W. Yergin, assisted by a corps of older boys as leaders, each ot whom had direct charge over five boys. They were: John Berlini, Harry Ginsburg, Cldrence Rock, Max Uhlig, Carl Dahlstrom, Albert Kall- gren, Clifford Hellberg, Stuart Hell- berg, Robert Raber, Fred Luebeck and Thure Bengtson, A camp head was appointed from the leaders for each day and had the overseeing of the day's work in his charge. Each morning at 9:30 came tent inspection, when all tents Were in- spected as to the neatness of their appearance. All beds had to Dbe made smoothly, shoes arranged in order, floor swept and clothes hung neatly on line or nails. The camp head of the day and the director made the tour of the tents. The in- spection was rated on the basis ot fifteen points, the tent securing the fifteen points for the day having the Y. M. C. A. banner hung in it. At the end of the two weeks the head i leader of the tent securing the most points was given the banner as his own. The banner was finally award- ed to Max Uhlig of Idlewild tent. Baseball League. A baseball league was organizea and plaed a lively series of games during the two weeks. The four teams constituting the league were named: Cubs, Pirates, Giants and Swats and the final standing of the league was as follows: Won Cubs ... .5 Pirates ... Glants . .333 Swats .. 5 167 Each member of the winning team was presented with the camp mono- gram, which was an old English “C.” 'The Cubs were as follows: C. Dahlstrom (captain), Herbert Corwin, Stuart Hellberg, Sigrid von Schantz, Amandus Paulson, Earle Tarr, Louis Becker, Willlam Johnson and Royal Clough. The ten highest batting averages, according to official score keeper, Edward Mag, were: Norr- feldt, .500; Bertini, .400; Ginsburg, .387; M. Taylor, .385; Mag, 375; Paulson, .357; C. Buckingham, .353; Corwin, .348; Tarr, .308, and Uhlig, .292, Lost P.C. 1 .833 2 867 e 4 Other Activities. Two aquatic meets and one fleld meet were held. The following won monograms ot stars for securing at least fifteen points in the competi- tions: William Lamb, Eric Norrfeldt, Amandus Paulson and Harold Latham by the fleld meet; Edward Sechrest, William Lamb, Bernard Niemrio, Roger Castle, Sigfrid von Schantz, Everett Moore, Henry Ramm and Merritt Tayvlor by the aquatic events. ¥red Anderson, Robert Raber, Ever- ett Moore and Merritt Taylor swam the distance across the lake, about one-half mile, and were awarded monograms. Two special trips were taken out from camp, one tp the old Newgate prison and the other to Springfleld, where the campers visited the Y. M. C. A. college and enjoved a theater performance in the afternoon. Presentation of Cup. The silver loving cup which was to be presented to the one voted to be the best all 'round camper was given to John Bertini by a big majority vote.

On account of the success of the camp this year there is no doubt that next year will see many of the same boys at Congamond again, It is the hope of the Y. M. C. A. and manage- ment of the camp that a permanent site on the shores of Congamond or some other good lake will be given them so that the renting of the grounds and tents will be done away with. If such a site were owned by the association it would be a large factor in the all 'round development of boy life in New Britain, INJURIES PROVE FATAL. Schinerin, Germany, July 17—Lieut.

Washington, D. C., July 17.—In the house of representatives today Con- gressman Augustine Lonergan , made a strong speech in behalf of consid- erate treatment for soldiers and sai- lors of the Civil war and Spanish- American war, and their widows. He emphasized particularly the desir- ability of considerate treatment * in reedy cases, and related instances in which technicalities defeated justice in the cases of deserving applicants. He gave interesting figures on the number of pensioners now on the government roll, and the amounts being paid them. He said in part: “I am in favor of more liberal pensions for those who merit as- sistance from the government. The Is the pen- by the applicant? If the answer is In the affirmative, I, the nations of the world that this republic is not ungrateful, nor for- getful of its defenders. To those who are worrying about the increased cost, let them remember that at every period of the expansion of our pen- | slon policy, there has been 6b- | Jection to every increase in pensions, |and yet the country has been able [n all times to meet its debt of grat- itude, to fuilfill its governmental obli- gations, and to prosper. | “Let them remember that every dollar that the government spends for pensions makes the government just so much stronger in the af- fections of its citizens. The money | Boes into every avenue of trade and | into every section of the country. | In numerous cases the distribution of pensions under our present sys- tem saves the old soldier or ‘sallor or his widow from state, county, or municipal charity. Nothing could be sadder than to see one of the nation’s heroes dependent upon pube lie or private alms. ' Loyal and pa- triotic Americans of all politieal | parties are determined that sueh shall not be the lot of any of the nation’s defenders.” FREE MOVING PICTURFES, St. Louls, Mo., July 17.—An eight in common with all grateful -Ameri- | week season of free municipal moving cans, belleve it should be granted. | pjcture shows will be inaugurated in We know that this country is dis- St. Louis tonight.
