ALLENGLAND AT WAR AGAINST THE KAISER Dr. Duming Gives Interesting Ta}k to Congregationalists Dr. of Rev. A. E. Dunning, former editor the ‘Congregationalist,” &ave an adress on the “Soul of Bri- tain in the War,” before the mem- bers of the Central Congregational club of Connecticut in the First]| church last evening, following’a sup- per held in the church dining room. He said that England had become a changed country during the past three years but that the universe was on the side of the righteous and the righteous would win. At the beginning of the war Eng- land had an army no larger than the one at present in this country and did not anticipate, war. It was sixteen vears ago that he first visited Eng- land, becoming pastor of a church in Manchester, where he was known as thé minister In residence. Since that time he has visited the country on an avérage of every other year and has been a resident minister no less than five times. The first thing that makes a change, Eald Dr. Dunning, is the regulations of the defense of the realm act. Tt is hard work to get a passport and then after all the necessary formali- ties have been gone through the pass- bort Is not given to the traveler until » few hours before sailing time. As the ship approaches the British Islands i: is preceeded by several mine sweepers which clear the chan- nel. Upon ianding, the passengers are held for strict examination and ag they travel in the trains they are hedged in by tho regulations of the defenise of the realm act. At London more questions are asked and then oll parties ars sent to the police sta- tion where they register and have their photographs taken. Every place & person iravels he is obliged to get permission from the police to stay over night as every one is regarded ns an alien. Dr. Dunning said that London in the day time is far different from the London at night, for during the hours of light the shops ‘are open and the streets thronged with people. Glances In the bookstore windows show pic- tures of the war. At night the store lights are out and on the streets the lamps are all veiled and cast their rays but a few feet.' Huge rays of light may also be seen at night cast- inp their reflection.in certain sections of the sky and these, said Dr. Dunn- ing, are the searchlights set so that when the Zeppelins appear they can be seen. Warning is given twenty niinutes before the craft can get-over- head and, thus everyone is given a chénce to-get-under ¢over. Ady @ne place ‘where he was, there were forty pérsons, mostly women and girls, killed by the bombs. Everyone at War. In spcaking about the entire nation weing at war he said this was the first time since the Civil war that he had been in a country where everyone was at war. He has traveled through many lands and has been in places where there was war going on but never where the whole country, both young and old, were in it. In talking of the hospitals Dr. Dunning said that the wounded do not like the glum ministers but they do like ministers that ¢ bring them cigarettes and tcll them things that | they could smile at. The nurses in | thesc institutions are as brave as men and they deserve the name sister which the soldiers have given them. In some of the larger houses the dif- ferent rooms are devoted to the mak- ing of bandages and other material that will be used in the hospitals. Dr. Dunning said that he was giv- en parmisgion to visit one of the large munition plants. Here the women were doing the work formerly done by the men. At the training camps much of interest is to be found. To make a good soldier requires the bet- ter part of a year and much time and labor must be put in by the re- cruit before he can throw the hand grenades. Each has a brass band and | this must be broken by the thumb as It leaves the hand. The grenades ex- plode just four seconds after the band is broken, so it is seen that if a sol- dier has not the necessary training he is liable to blow himself to pieces. Another skillful trick is the use of the bayonet as it must be thrust into a body just far enough to kill, or the man would be at the mercy of the man behind the first victim. The hardest thing he had to do, said Dr. Dunning, was to visit the families of those that had been killed. Each day the papers carry a list of the dead. There is always a feeling of fear and expectancy among the peo- ple that” word will be recelved that their dear ones have been Kkilled. In conclusion Dr. Dunning said that the people did not have to be told what they were fighting for as they Are You Worn | 0ut° TWO LONG YEARS HE SUFFERED | “Fruit-a-fives” Made Him Feel As If Walking On Air OriLuia, Nov. 28th. 1914, “For over two years, I was troubled with Constipation, Drowsiness, Lack of Appetite and Headacles.

GIRL IS MISSING; | POLICE ON TRAIL Tillic Johnson of Hartford Avenuc Reported to Have Gone to New York With Foreigner. Fearing that she is in danger of falling in with evil companions and into dangerous ways, relatives of pretty seventeen years old Tillie John- son of Hartford avenue have asked the police to locate her. It is feared that she is but another of the young women and girls reported as ‘‘mys- teriously missing” ‘throughout the state during the past year. Hilda Johnson, sister of the missing girl, appealed to the police yesterday and asked that all available means be used to locate Tillie. She said that Tillie is supposed to have left New Britain Monday and is believed to have been in company with a girl by the name of Chernock, who lives on West street. Informa- tion coming into possession of rela- tives of the missing girl is to the effect that she and the Chernock girl are reported to have been friendly with a young man of foreign birth or descent, who is reported to have been paying them much attention. Ac- cording to the information furnished the authorities, Tillie and the Cher- nock girl are supposed to have start- ed for New York. Policemen. .on street beats and othegssbave: beenyinstpucted to keep a sharp lookout for Tillle and detec- tives will attempt to'trace them. As far as can be learned by the authori- ties, Tillie’s home life was happy and there is no reason known to her rela- tives for her leaving home, excepting the possible theory of influence brought to bear outside her family. SPAIN'S LEADERS PLAN NEW INCOME Minority Leaders Object to Part of Their Program Madrid, via Paris, Feb. 8,5 a. m.— Premier Romanoncs and the Duke of Alba, minister of the interior, met the minority leaders at a two hours’ con- ference today and asked for their support for the immediate passage of a number of measures, including a credit of a billion pesetas for public work. Among the projected bills is one for the reform of the forelgn banking service, another for the na- tionalization of exterior loans, a third for an increase in the income tax and a fourth for a substitution of a tax on the profits of grivileged enterprises in- stead of the present tax on war profits. A measure was also discussed respect- ing the tobacco monopoly. The minority leaders agreed to sup- port the proposals except that for a billion pesetas credit, and a bill deal- ing with the liquor questions. These two matters were reserved for a fur- ther conference. The Direcout Conservationale says that the whole country is in favor of maintaining neutrality but that this will furnish no excuse for action in the defense of the national interests or for the protéction of national dignity. “No country could renounce its rights to that defense,” says the paper “before the note of the Central pow- ers without at the same time abandon- ing its neutrality. The two ideas are perfectly compatible and on bhoth the nation is unanimous. No one wants (o abandon neutrality but no one wants cither to abandon the interests and big dignity of Spain before the caprice or necessities of foreign powers.” htfid Doumu Bd you yehy hmdtomt" "SCOTTS EMULSION is the food-tonic that corrects these troubles.

Hall's Ca- tarrh Cure is taken internally and acts thru the blood on the mucous sur- faces of the system. Hall's Catarrh Cure was prescribed by one of the best paysicians in this country for years.

NEW TROLLEY STOPS to Relieve Traflic Congestion. With a view of relieving traflic congestion at Crowell's corner and vicinity, a re-ajustment of trolley stopping points has been decided upon following a conference between Frank Beardsley of the Connecticut com- Bab- < of the safety board. The change recommended by Traffic Super- visor Clarence Lamphere, who, as | traffic officer, was stationed at the corner since the inauguration of the ! present traffic system. The stop for | east-bound cars will be moved from in front of Fox's theater to a point about fifty feet west of the corner and the stop in front of Rapelye's store at 250 Main street, west side, is to be abolished. From the West Main street stop to the center there will be no white poles. This procedure will be tried for a time in the expec- tation that it will materially improve traffic conditions in front of city hall and-about Crowell's corner. This is believed to be but one of | several similar changes to be brought about before the heavy spring and summer traffic begins. wa ODD FELLOWS WIN. Lexington lodge, I. O. O.
