The United States needs more men for ity army and navy. Every state in the Union 8 crying for .recruits ‘for the National Guard. Connccticut " is the only state thus far that has for- mulated {R¢ idea of & Home Guard. The time ror action is at hand. ‘Am- bassador Gerard upon his return from: Germany .told ar ‘audicnce ' in. New York that he was positively shocked to find on’ his arrival in this country such lack of .preparcdness. “In the | two yedr's in which the world has been ion fire ave have done nothing to: pre- i pare Tor even a rcasonable means of 93¢ | hational defense,” said the diplomat. 'To give a concrete example of what he meant, Ambassador Gerard sai “That nation that stands opposite '-to us today has )romly no less thln 1 000,000 mon under arms. I ha.ve séen the Germans take more prisoners in one afteérnoon thum there are menin the entirc United States army.” " The ambassador was not exéggerat- ing. The adjutant-general of the Con- necticut National Guard was not amiss when he implored men to enlist in the United States army, or, having failed at that, to try for the National Guard. In the event of failure to be admitted ‘into either service the Home Guard is open to’ all men from seventeen ‘to sixty years of age. This organization in New Britain is a source of attrac- tion to those who wish to aid in the defense of the state against depreda- tions from any source and who have not the necessary qualifications to go ito eithde of the two national ser- vices. Up to today some sixty -men ,have joined the Home Guard here. In & short e active drilling will take place in the state armory. New Britain as one of the foremost cities of Connecticut is vitally inter- ested in any and all moves that have for their ultimate ends the safeguard- ing of the national honor.. Connecti- cut hag led all other states Unton in the matter of preparedness. Its Governor was the first to proclaim state-wide military census. Other states are rapidly falling into line. 8oon there will be like censuses in other states of the Union. But a mili- tary census means nothing unless the men who are able and willing to work offer their services to the city, the atate and the, natién beforehand. It iwill be when the bold alarm of war Bounds throughout the nation that the military census will automatically be- t pome of use. - From then on conscrip- tion may be in order. It is the present day that counts in preparation. There are énough’ able-bodied men, without 'lebligations worth considering, who must make the start beforq it too late. Better to enlist now voluntarily than to be pressed-into service later on at the muzsle of a sun or the point of & sword. The army and the navy ‘are awalting. The National Guard is still doing business. And, in the event that these are out of reach, there is the Home Guard. A COMPANY WITH A HEART. By announcing its policy of insuring all employes gratis the Trumbull Elec- | tric Company of Plainville places itself in the front row of American concerns. Its directors have reached the conclu- sion that men who spend the best part of their lives in making any organi- zation & success deserve something more than the average weekly stipénd. Having come to thig way of looking at out insurance for all of their 320 em- ployes. The company pays all pre- miums. The insurance policles are 'e. They cover accident, sickness, and death. They are made payable to the dependents of the workmen. . Eventually other business concerns will follow the altruistic lead of the Trumbull Company. It will always be to the credit of this enterprising firm that' it paved the way. The idea of taking care of those who spend their lives in the employ of any firm is ab- solutely 'a new one. It .had fts birth in this country, within the past 'five years. One man in Detroit has done more than any. other to see that the relationship between emplo: d em- . ployer is brought to:a higher plane. In the years to come the idea wilk per- meate over the emtire ‘country so that onlyithose" who' operate plants for en- y ulnlh\moflm ‘will ‘stand ; out- side the pale. ~And-these' will w the way of all little. peo-p!e. The strife that ' usually , associates itself: between: capital and:labor. will forever be done away with'if firms on this continent view things throm the spectacles used by those members of the Trumbull Electric Company = who formulated the new policy. After all, there is not much difference between men. The great, the small, are swayed by comparatively the same emotions. The capitalist and the laborer are the game men in different statfons of life, Whatever change there 18 i3 merely one of position. Given the same tasks to perform the capitalist would: ily have to perform tflm Mn like the man Who works' for him car. ! ries on the job.

Although the investigation is- far from completed, officials intimate that they have al- ready traced more than 40,000 of these tickets, so cleverly made that it is almost impossible to detect the genuine from the false. Although the taen!lty of the’printer,” responsi- ble for technical work on the paste- boafds, has not bécn definitely deter- mined, a number of clues are in the Dossession of the authorities that, they believe, will result in' arrests soon. State’s Attorney ‘Alcorn ~ has the opinion that developments will show a “tremendous conspiracy.” Prose- cuting Attorney George W.
