Under the Americaniflag there will be brought into this the greatest of have ever been possessed by any other nation in the world at any time. Men, money and munitions are the three great “M’'s” that stand for the actual strength of the Unitéd States today. Men,—there are some twenty million ih the country capable of doing mili- tary duty. Money,—there is the great-. est gold accumulation ever assembled in the excheguer of any nation, billions of it. Munitions,—the factories of the United States are working night and day turning out the necessary equip- ment for an army and a navy. 'The imagination of man’'can hardly stretch to take in the vast resources at hand. Pencil and paper may draw a picture of what Uncle Sam can throw into the balance. The mind’'s eye falters at such a vast scene. The nations first line of defense is the navy. In strength and efficiency the United States navy is ranked as one of the greatest afloat. What it lacks in men it makes up in accuracy of gunnery. There'is no navy in the world that has crack shots comparable with the gunners in Uncle Sam’s navy. Great Britain has more ships than any nation on earth. ' The- “United States has the finest body of men on What the nation has failed to squander for more ships it has spent for target practice. Its policy has been to train men to man ships, rather than to purchase vessels without having the necessary men to take care of them. The United States army is a com- paratively small one. At present its membership reaches wmwhere near the 100,000 mark. The- men in that army though are trained to the min- ute. Small when compared to some of the armies maintained by the na- tions of Europe even .in times of peace, the United Stetes army is the match, man for man, of any army on earth. The bravery of its men has never been questionied. The efficiency of its officers is known to excel that of any other group of commanders on earth. "West Point is the highest training school for army ~ officers known to be in existence. These are the. things that insure the safety of the . United States_no matter what ‘it Héd upon to face in the way of 'war. Its National Guard of 150,000 frien is' in very good shape after an experience on the Mexican border. in this’ Because of what “has been said ln g 'When the call for more men_comes,. there will be the sturdy yoyth of the ‘ nation'to augment the ranks of Uncle Sam’s fighting forces. All together, | there is no nation in the world so rich ! with men; money and munitions. And' those three assets cannot Pe ignored. Twonty-flva’ years ago the Stamford 7. pak ot the elty | terests of the United States need'have | Daily Advocate came._into existence; the outgrowth of a weekly: newspaper established in 1829. In celebration of these twenty-five years of activity in the'daily newspaper fleld, the Gillegple Bros., Inc., publishers, of the "Advo- cate, have issued i@ -little booklet sketching the progress of the paper and the town. This ls printed in lieu of the usual anniversary edition. ' The hl.ulry of the Stamford Daily Advo- cate runs- parallel with the history of newspaper making in this country. It started on its career shortly after Mergenthaler invented the. lnotype; at the time when the tehxraph and the telephone facilitated the quick de- spatch of news; when the old-“Wash-, ington flat-bed press” gave way to the multiple press. - The Advocate stood on the threshold when the door of the New Journalism was'opened. It | has continued apace with the pro- fession: It has been what any good newspaper should be in its commu- nity; an aild and a guidance to its readers. As the Advocate has grown with the profession of Journalism so the town of Stamford has prospered,— proof positive that a good newspaper is instrumental ‘in the upbuilding of a clty. —_— FACTS AND FANCIES, Women munition workers of Eng- land have demanded increased - pay.

JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL. SEBKS DEAT HUNDER TRAIN ‘Woman Temporarily Deranged Is Snatched from Under Wheels at ‘Washington Street Crossing. Discouraged over alleged family troubles and worry; it is believed, be- cause of the heavy human harvest claimed by the war among relatives and countrymen, Mrs. Natalina Buch- ierl of Franklin street made a sensa- tional attempt at suicide yesterday, seeking death beneath the wheels of a “New Haven” train at the Washing- ton street crossing. She was saved from going under the wheels of the speeding locomotive by two unidentified men, who seized her and -drew her to safety just as the train rushed by. Gennaro Palmieri reported the near tragedy to police headquarters. Mrs. Buchierl was taken to headquarters later by Police- man Delbert Veley. She admitted the attempted suicide but, beyond claim- ing family troubles to be responsi- ble, was reticent as to her conduct. Upon her promise to act differently, she was allowed to go.

Owing to the absence of Harry Hargreaves, regimental sergeant ma- Jor with the First Connectfcut In- fantry, the city clerk’s office has been without a deputy clerk for the past week or more and this morning City Clerk A. L. Thompson appointed Miss Jean Cochrane, senfor clerk in the office, as-second deputy clerk. Mayor G. A. Quigley has approved the appointment.

American citizens that they, in loyal devetion to their country, dedicated from its foundation to the principles of liberty and justice, uphold the laws of the land and give undivided and wiling support to those measures which may. be adopted by the eonnituuonll authorities in prosecuting the{war to a successful issue and in obtaining a secure and' just peace; ““And, acting under and by virtue of the authority vested in me by the constitution of the.

Crying pathetically and nearly prostrate with grief because of the fear that her three year old boy had come to some harm, Mrs. Baweski of 341 Eim street appealed to the police this morning to find her lost child. She took the boy with her while doing shopping for Sunday and lost track of him in a Main street store. The boy was bundled up in a shawl, the mother feeling that he would ‘be unable to get far without assistance. S8he made a round of the neighboring stores in search of him without success. Policemen on Main street beats were.Tiotified. - SEARCH FOR SKULKERS. Acting suspiciously, three young men were noted skulking out of the alleyway. from in back of the Rogers block at 208-220 Main street -shortly before 10 o'clock last night. Capt. T. W. Grade was communicateq with at police headquarters and information given that: the trio was suspected of being up ton something out of the way. Policeman William F. Murphy was detailed to investigate but was unable to find any traces of the three or signs that they had been in the alleyway for an Ilq-l' purpose. to live. P of the leading as $11 per ton;and w‘!t 4that there will be a'slight reductio : One of the most inspiring sights ln '.he .eity is that of the large .Ameri- can flags on the P. & F, Corbin’ fac- tory plant standing forth in ail their mplendent. glory, the briiliant rays {of a powerful searchlight illuminat- ing its “broad stripes and bright stars” by night. No less patriotic and inspiring are the scores of flags that are now seen daily flying fromm many flag-staffs ‘and draped from many buildings. Particularly arc the fac- tories of New Britain prominent in the display of the colors. Almost every concern shows one flag and the larger plants have several, each fluttering bravely from masts on the tops ‘of various buildings. The patriotism of the factory workers is also reflected in the street by the small American flags flying from row after row of/ windows in some of the concerns. Truly there is no sight that so stirs the blood of the true American as the sight of Old Glory snapping in the breezes, and the innovation of illum- inating it at night, as the P. & F. Cor- | bin factory has done; is an ideal one. It brings something of an impressive realism of some of the feelings that must have surged through the mind of Francis Scott Key as, while a pris- oner, he pended the immortal lines of the “Star Spangled Banner’” embody- ing those beautiful phrases: Gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there. Then conquer we must, when our caiise it is just, And this be our'motto: “In God is our trust!” And the Star Spangled Banner in tri- umph shall wave, O'er the land of the free .and the home of the brave. VA daily display of the colors on the massive ataff on the summit of Walnut Hill park is also desirous. Many people have decided to, and many more will, display the colors from their private dwelliigs until the war is over and the boys have re- turned. One flag being displayed on & residential street has something of a history, despite its dingy and some- what tattered appearance. Nineteen years ago, when war was declared be- tween the United States and - Spain, this flag, then bright and new, but no. more charming, was unfurled to the ‘breezes and remained at full mast, night: and day, rain and shine, until peace had again been declared.Since then it has been unused, but .once ‘more: this' banner hgs: been unfurled and, the owner states, will not again be furled until peace once more draws the nation to her hvnrn‘ Tlu past: year-has been'an emh making one in New Britain in many ways, but’ chiefly from a militaristic point of view. Until this yedr never before had either or both: of - New Britain’s National Guard companies been called into the federal service twice within the’ short-span of twelve months. Yet this.epoch has now been made. .In June, 1916, the boy's ‘were called to. the colors and mustered in- to the federal service for fleld action’ and now, scorcely ten: months' ‘later, they have jbeen called from: thelr pri- vate pursuits and mustered inte the| federal - service again for fleld duty— just how .extenmve a service time Only three times local troops been mustered into - ‘the United. States- service for‘action, the first time having been: in 1808, at the | time of the Spanish-American war. On only five different occasions. have Jocal guardsmen been:called upon for any duty other than drills, maneu- vers and ‘routine summer encamp- ments. These were the Spanish war, . the Waterbury. strike, the Mexican crisis, 39 policing of the city on the night the fire-bug rampage and now. The men serving .today are rendering their service during a his- tory-making period and the city is proud of them.. Centered around Company I and Captain A. H. Griswold, who this week led the boys out of the armory for active service, is something: rath- er unusual, it not romantic from a military standpoint. It has been in Company I, in which he enlisted as a private twenty-four years ago, that Captain Griswold has seen all his ac- tive military service, with the excep- tion of last summer when he cap- tained a company of recruits to the Mexican border; and he has also been with Company I in all its active ser- vice until last summer. In addition to that Captain Griswold is the only man in either local company. who is a veteran of the Spanish war. When Company I marched out of New Brit: ain to the Spanish-American war nineteen years ago this spring the present captain was then a second duty sergeant under Captain C. H. Moore. When Co. I next saw. ser- vice and marched out to entrain for ‘Waterbury at the time of the big strike it was A. H. Griswold who was ‘aptain. Now, after eight years in the reserve, it is to his “first love” that he returns, as the doughy little cap- tain terms it. Captains who have commanded local companies when they were called upon for active service were as follows: Spanish war, Co. D, Cap- tain S. M. Leonard; Co. E, Captain Abraham Hauerwas; Co. I, Captain C. H. Moore. Waterbury strike, Com- pany I, Captain A. H. Griswold. Mex- fcan border service, Co. E, Captain E. Raymond Low (retired); Co. I, Captain Henry L. Ladbury (deceased). Originally New Britain had three companies of militia, Co, D, Co..E and Co. I. It was shortly after the Span- ish war that Co. D was transferred to Bristol where it continues to main- tain the same high standards it en- Jjoyed here. Even though New Britain does have a high tax rate officials declare that citizens receive benefits with it. While it has absolutely nothing to do with politics or the taxing question, the prices' New Britain consumers have to pay for coal, for instance, indicates that this Is not positively the most desirous place in the world in which ’ when the spring shipments arrive, dbalers state that there! is- positivels no chance for it to drop Delow $9.! or $9 per ton. They claim it is ha to get.shipments here and tha t wholesalers will make no prom! 3 futura deliveries, nor will they xw- antee any price for next month. the meantime Hartford {s paying Sl: per ton for coal and expects a drof to $8.35 per ton. Contrasted with ti price of coal In New Britain is the Price paid in the town of Havenstraw, N. Y., where, we re assured, the coni is transported by rail as in this state, and not by water. The Herald has re- ceived two certified bills from a Hav- erstraw dealer quoting the price of pea coal as $6 per ton and nut coal at $7.50 per ton. It does seem, many; citizens assert, as though the H. C. of L. hit New Britain first and hardd- | and stayed longer. Undoubtedly the saféty board is & well meaning body of men, but by ¢ their actions at times they are, surely and positively brecking up the morale and. discipline of the departments une der them. Especially is this true of their action on Tuesday night whep they publicly asked that the chief of the fire' department be reprimanded, and what they voted to do amounted to this in fact, as the result of a com- plaint of one of his subordinates. | Certeinly it discipline is to be main- '§ tained in the departments those at the | head must be truly at the head. They must not be hectored and belittled by the safety board. If the safety bgard really thought that the chief erred in § his censuring of the chief mechanic. they could ‘have smoothed matters over in a different way than they did. “*Absolutely the only way to maintain discipline among any body of i to back up the ones at the head,” ' stated a prominent citizen who has’ seen service in the army and knows how discipline is obtained. “If a su- perior officer in the army does get ‘| into a controversy with his inferiors the officer -is upheld for the sake of | discipline. Later more satisfactory arrangements may be made, but there . 18 no such thing ap disciplining an officer for sbme minor complafnt by an enlisted man. And nowhere is there any better discipline than in the army and navy. The safety hol.rd ought to “wake up,” he stated.

Dr. T. E. Reeks, superintendent of hoalth, has issued a warning for all people, storekeepers especially, to bear in mind tha city ordinance re- lative to sweeping sidewalks. - This ordinance provides that no walks shall be swept later than 8 a. m. or before 9 p. m. The health department has alsy sent out a large number of letters to property owners advising them ta clean up their backyards early.
