To Take War Census. “In view of this situation and these considerations I recommend that pow- er be given to your governor to take a census, classified with a view of their availability, of the various ac- tivities of war, of the men of state to- gether with an inventory of those properties ané of those resources of the state which war would call into requisition. ‘If T am granted this au- thority I may from time to time con- sult you further as the work progress- es, especially if I find that it promises to be expensive. T believe that suffi- cient information for your immediate needs can be secured at small expense. sion of various state and municipal de- partments, chambers of commerce and similar civic organizations and can readily be collected and made avail- able, and T am confident that volun- teers can be secured to do whatever is necessary outside of the clerical work involved. “T make this recommendation with confidence because of the high tra- ditions to which your honorable bodies are the heirs. Throughout the whole history of the people of Connecticut, whether in colonial “times or under the existing institution, this state never has fallen short or been found wanting in the hour of danger. When the news of Léxington was brought over the hills, the towns of the colony answered the call without question or delay, and sent their quotas to the aid of a sister state and the defense of the common cause of our invaded rights. In that other strugsle, still vivid in the memory of the thinning ranks of a once great army, Connecticut’s part is thus described by one of its historians: ’ ‘The first great martyrs of the war —Ellis, Worth, Winthrop, Ward and T.yon—were of Connecticut stock. A Connecticut general, with Connecticut regiments, opened the battle of Bull Run and closed it. The Second Connecticut regiment was marshalled in front of the farm house at Ap- pomatox when Lee surrendered to a soldier of Connecticut blood. A Connecticut flag first displaced the palmetto upon the soil of South Caro- Jina: a Connecticut flag was first plant- ed in Mississippi; a Connegticut. flag was first unfurled before New Orleans. On the banks of every river of the south, and in the battlesmoke of every contested ridge and mountain peak, the sons of Connecticut have stood and patiently struggled. in ransomed state we have a holy acre on which the storm left its emerald ivaves—three thousand distinguish- able hillocks on lonely lake and stream, in fleld and tangled thicket.’ “Such has been the steadfast spirit of the sons of Conmnecticut in every hour of peril. Marching in company with the heroic past let us, in this u toward hour of world agony, face un- flinchingly the menacing tide of events. The Measure. The following bill offered by Sena- tor Klett was adopted in each branch without debate: Section 1.—The governor is hereby authorized to cause to be taken here- with a census and inventory of the re- sources of the state in men and mater- ial available for use in event of war and information thereby secured shall be placed at the service both of the state and the federal government. Section 2.—In preparation of said census and inventory it shall be duly of every public official in the state to furnish to the governor whatever in- formation and assistance he may re- | quire. Section 3.—The comptroller is here- by directed upon request of the gov- ernor to draw his orders on the treasurer for all necessary expenses incurred in car ng into effect the provisions of this act. Section 4.—This act shall fect upon its passage. Action Endorsed. A resolution offered by Senator Hemenway and adopted was as fol- lows: 4 That the action of Governor Marcus Holcomb in pledging to the president of the United States the loyal support of the people of Connecticut has the full and complete endorsement and approval of the general assembly. That copies of the resolution be forwarded to the five members of con- Br and the United States senators from Connecticut with the request that it shall be read into the records of congress. The house in concurrence con- firmed the nominations of Charles B Walter to the court of common pleas in New London county and of Jus- tices George W. Wheeler and Milton Shumway to the supreme court. One vote was cast inst Juds Walter. take ef- Woman Asks Release.

Osborn of the Charity Or- gdnization, chairman of the commit- tee in charge the arrangements. The lecture is endorsed by the New Britain Chamber of Commerce, through the state Chamber ot Com- merce, and‘ the woman's advisory comunittee of the New Britain Charity Organization, is also interested in the arrangements. Prafessor Bailey's particularly timely because of its wide interest throughout the state. It will be “Connecticut’s Need of a State Re- formatory for Delinquent Women,” ex- plaining the needs of such an institu- tion in any state and explanato of the reformatory bill now beforc the legislature. Profe r Bailey h long been in- terested in the subject and onec of the foremost workers in the state to secure favorable action on the bill. TFour years ago he was appointed by former Governor S. E. Baldwin as chairman of a commission of six ap- pointed to investigate the needs of such an institution. The appearance of Professor Bailey will be in connection with the cam- paign being carried on throughout the state in support of the bill and some- what similar ta the meeting, arranged last month in Parsons’ theater at Hartford, at which Dr. Katherine Bement Da superintendent of the Bedford reformatory spoke. The Commonwealth club considers itself particularly fortunate to secure a man of Professor Bailey’s standing. Under the auspices of the South church brotherhood, he some time ago, conducted a course of lectures ou housing conditions that were particu- larly successful. In addition to his other work, he is serving as advisory of the Charity Organization society of New Haven. of topic Wil be SEEK REDUCTION Board of Relief Receives Several Ad- ditional Appeals.
