N.-H: Harriman at the evening serv- ice of the People’s church last night. . 'Pastor Harriman's talk was the first of two “war prologue” sermons and in it he explained clearly and -im- _;_Dflfilllly the terrible question that is tearing at the hearstrings of the German and Austrian citizens, and al the same time held up just as clearly their duty and the status and the duty of every man, woman and child that lives and prospers under the Stars and Stripes. 3 2 “Three things I wish may be true of this wat prelude” said Mr. Harri- s man in opening his sermon. “I want it _to be mantfestly friendly and I nt to speak as if 1 were addressing * all_people of this city of foreign par- ~ entage, giving them a word of cau- . tion. and a word of friendly advice. “But my (rst word is to those not of ‘foreizn’ pArentage if there are any such. The fact is that we are all hyphenates, all foreign born really, though some of our forbears crossed the great sea’ so long ago that we arrogate to ourselves the title Ameri- cancitizen in a special way. “The only difference,” practically, les in the fact %hat some here have friends and rel- atives now living in the land of their hirth that divide their affection with the land of their 'adoption- Have Patience for the Alfen, “And my- plea for these is for pa- tience, sympathy, = confidence, for dheir lot is a hard one, now that we ~ aré st war with Germany.

He belongs to a ¥ace that never hurries; but it gets there; and with a thoroughness and - efficiency that has éhe sworld:-beaten: Give him tience: "Give him time. ‘Give him idence. Give him sympathy. He will be heard from. ¢ “And ‘lest we forget’ and fail to appreciate his difficult position, listen who may not realire the issues at stake for them. These I would like to help. ¥ G Wise Words of Cmition. “And my word of caution to thess is this: Beware of trifiling with the situation. Foreigners do not. appre- ciate the American character on its serious side. They see us at play, or in the eager pursult of wealth— good natured, affable, free-hearted and free-handed. They see us slow to resent affront, slow to Hiefend our- selves, They have seen our great president for many long months re- fuse to believe that Germany could mean what her acts committed over and over again plainly indicated that she did mean. They say Germany assuming that he would not fight, that he was a coward. Many of our neighbors of German parentage be- lieved that Germany had it sized up correctly. This creates a situation-of great danger to Germans. And to these I am sounding this warning; Beware of the slow, cautious, patient man with the square jaw, who has spoken from the White House calling to war- And a second and| similar warning: Beware of the good-natured American nation, that through its representatives answered that call and declaréd war on Germany. The slow man with the square jaw has fighting blood in his veins. Back there somewhere he may have had ancestors that killed from motives less high than those he now proclaims —*"liberty .and humanity.” He has found himself and spoken. He is not the man you knew even one month ago, or thought you knew. And the nation that has stepped solidly to his side is riot !h’ nation that you thought you knew a’month ago. Make no mistake at that point. 3 Not Afraid Even If Proud. “The man who intimated that we might be too proud to fight; and ‘who later tried to believe that this world in flames might find peace without victory; ‘who neglected preparedness i the vain hope that it would not be needed, and later decided that it was needed, that man has found himself at last, and the practical statesman has emerged from the fogs of his im- practical idealism and spoken. And the nation that hoped with him till it could hope no longer, then waited with unexampled patience for him to see, has spoken with him- And war i on! “Let none of our good neighbors fail to appreciate what now they are up against. To fail there will be fa- tp! for you.. The patient man in the White House, with a clarity of vision that has surpassed that of any of the statesmen of the belligerents of Eu- wope, and with a power of statement that places the issues at stake in this great war in such form that his ut- terance will stand ghrough the years as freedom’s call to arms against tyranny, has spoken out; the nation has echoed his call; and the world is waiting the issue. America is roused as rhe has not been before in her his- tory. She sees her enemy as he is. She has borne his insults till patience has ceased to be a virtue. Irrespon- sible selfishness, backed by a fighting machine that she believed was in- vincible, dreaming of weorld-conquest, trampling under her iron heel every right of the “weak, planning to con- quer Europe and then the world— trat is the enemy.

As an American, by preference, I can see no other course open. . . . ‘Because of my birth, and feelings beyond my control, I have no par- ticular love for the French, and less for the British. But by a strange irony of fate I see those nations gziving their blood, against the wrong prin- | ciples of people I individually love. ‘It is a very unhappy paradox, but one T cannot escape: I do not want to see the allies triumph over the land of my birth; but I do very much want to see the triumph of ‘a:e ideas they fight for. ‘ ‘It sickens my soul to think of this nation going forth to help de- stroy people many of whom are bound to me. by ties of blood and friendship.

CHURCH Prominent Men Speak at Present- tion of Flag e A patriotic flag service, commemo- rating the gift of an American flag to Trinity Methodist church by the Con- necticut Division, Sons of |Veterans Auxiliary, was held. in that church last evening. On April 11, at a state meeting of the Auxiliary in Hartford, the flag was presented and it was here that the Rev. Warren F. ‘Cook, pastor of the church, received it. Mrs. Min- nie Oldershaw, president of the auxil- iary, Mayor George A. Quigley and ex-Senator George M. Landers ‘were among the speakers at the exercises. Mrs Oldershaw’s address followa: “Rev, Mr. Cook, pastor of the church, wished me'to speak on’the ‘presentation of a flag to the church by the Connecticut Division, Sons. of Veterans Aurxiliary. The Sons of Veterans, Si N. A, is an organization that has been in éxistence for a num- ber of years but the auxiliary is a'new onganization in @onnecticut. “‘About three and one-half years ago an Auxiliary was instituted in New Britain and shortly after that there ‘were four others instituted throughout the state, making' five in all. That made enough auxiliaries to form a division in Connecticut.’ The -division was organized in New Britain last June a 1 was elected president. The late sister Emma J. Smith, who was elected patriotic instructor, start- ed a flag fund so as to make it pos- sible for the Connecticut division to present a flag to some church, school or public institution at the annual encampment. “At a meeting held prior to the encampment it was decided that the flag should be presented to the Trin- ity ‘Methodist church of New Britain. We are greatly pleased that the flag is- wo highly appreciated by the church and hobe that it will be used here for years to come and inspire patriotism in all who look upon it.” Pastor Cook Accepts. Rev. Warreh F. Cook made a speech of acceptancefin which he sald thit the friends of the auxiliary were gratified to be the first to receive the flag from the assoclation. It stands for the finest principle that has ever existed throughout the relationship of man. It was the flag of Washington, and the stars And stripes have stood from the véry beginning down to the present day always for freedom and liberty. He ‘stated that the chur¢h had always stood by the nation and President Lincoln singled out the Methodist denomination for his own. In years gone by thé Methodist church had set more soldiers and nurses to the frént than any of the others-and the reason for this was the number of common people within the fold. If the president' were to call for vQlun- || teers today he could rest assured ‘that the Methodist denomination would be ready to support the country, state and city. P ‘War Sacred Duty. Mayor George A. Quiglev was the next speaker and he said that he con- sidered ‘it very fitting that patriotic services should be held in a church because the country is fulfilling a sa- cred duty by going to war. It was simply a case of democracy against autocracy and it was only right that this nation should uphold the rights of humans. Humanity was the rea- son for the declaration of a state of wan, said the mayor. There was a time, said the mayor, when some thought that a certain portion of the local citizens were not loyal to the country. Last Thursday's demonstration dispelled such an idea as there was hardly a race that was riot represented at Central Park. Rep- resentatives of all the races of Europe were on hand to pay tribute to the flag and show their loyalty to the na- tion. Wileon, like Lincoln, has been un- Justly criticized, said the mayor, and he has endured slurs and protests from all over the nation against watchful waiting and many others too numerous to mention. In his last message declaring a state of war any that could read between the lines would see that the message was that of a tired human being that could en- dure the insults no longer.” Tn regard to citizenship, he said that wher aliens become citizens of this country they sffare evervthing we have including all rights, with the exception of be. coming president.' When a man takes the oath he has entered into a con- tract to support laws and to be loyal to this country. Now comes the time when he is asked to pay according to the contract. If he refuses to pay then he is held for treason which is punishable by death. Our nation, laws and flag often menil more to a forelgn-born citizen than they do to those born here, he said. We have never lived under an- other flag and thus are unable to compare the two. He told of an old German and his wife ,who went to visit their childhood me and won- dered why everything did not seem right: As the steamer came into New York harbor they realized that it was their adopted country that was “missing” and both cried ‘with joy as the Statue of Liberty came into view. Phtriotism Blm-‘ bering, Not M" The mayor said that he ‘had feit the spirit of *“76,” “61” and ‘98" was dead and that the people were not as patriotic as they should be. It was for this reason that the celebration was held last Thursday and when fac. tories, stores and all places of busi- ness closed for the afternoon it proved that the spirit was not dead but had simply been slumbering. It was the Breatest patriotic celebration ever held: in this city or state, he siid. There are other things to be done in adadition to waving the flag’ and shouting, said the mayor. All should help the mothers of those who have gone away. If there is a call for vol- unteers from the president, New Brit- tain will send her quota and more and not disgrace' the flag. Let all an: swer the call of the president for the' greatest battle ever fought by de- mocracy over autocracy. When the supreme moment comes we must and will answer the call, said the mayor. Mr. Cook stated that there was a feeling in the country that the war would not last long but that ¢ feeling would be dispelled as it h been in England. In regard to this matter Governor M. H. Holcomb was ‘'one of the foremost movers in pre- paring for the emergency by food regulations. He then introduced ex- Senator George M. Landers. State Food Supply.” Mr. Landers considered that the mayor had covered the patriotic side of the question in an able manner so he went on to tell of the newly formed food commission. This commission he sald, was the result of a meet- ing held two weeks ago and the agricultual authorities of the state board of directors of the State Chamber of Commerce and sev- eral of the manufacturers were the prime movers in the prevention of waste. After the committee had met for four or five days they were sur- prised ,and alarmed at what they found. Permission wag asked of Gov- ernor Holcomb for full authority ‘to look into the situatign. A brief sketch of the members on the food commission was given by Mr. Landers asd all proved to be men of influence in the state. He sald the desire of all was to improve the food supply. One of the first things done was to approach ‘people who would not increase their land ‘and of these the toabcco growers were the worst of all. They planted their crops =o close to the fences that they had no reom for anything eise’and many of them did not raise their own vege- tables. Good resuits were obtained by talking to these men and this year a number have already promised to give some of their ground over to other products so that already abgit 1,000 acres have been secured for food. K T ‘The same principle will apply to all farmers, stated Mr. Landers, and in this way a census of the increased food| production will be taken. This census will very much resemble the recent military census taken by the state. Any information in regard to the fitting and planting of small gar- dens may be had by applying at the town clerk’s offices in' the various towns. It is planned, said Mr. Landers, to enlist the High school boys as junior agriculturists and in this way they will be of more use than they would ir the Home Guard. These boys will enlist for sixty days and there is now a bill before the legislature which will provide for their release frony studies, if necessary, to do this work. Vol. unteers for canning and preserving will also be enlisted, he said, and there will be blanks for the work. Any .person that fills a blank will make a personal pledge to the gov- ernor. Instructors from the state school will have charge of this work to see that it is properly done. / Any who have had experien: in farm wotk are asked to fill blanks and they will be assigned as super- vikors over the boys' and girls’ gar- dens. Letters have beén sent to the various manufacturers asking them to have their vacant land cultivated by their employes. The food commis- sion has a plan that is fool prodf and any that take it will be ablé to start a successful garden. It is hoped that al! will support the work of the food commission. Mr, Cook said that he was ready tc volunteer and that he intended to plow up some of the land in the rear of his house for a garden. He of- fered his services to Mayor Quigley to help in any way possible in the movement. He stated that we must all stand ready as this is a great world war with Jemocracy in the bulance. : “Toasted” Tobacco on. J. Judkins, traveling representative of the American Tobacco Co., is in town with a crew of men under the aupervision of T. F. Gannon. These men are showing how tobacco {s toasted, by a demonstration in. the different stores. This is a Burley tabacco toaster, a new principle in cigarette manufacturing. A process tried by other makers but never be- fore has been found, 2 manufacturing principle to hold the characteristic Burley flavor. This has been acco: plished by applying the effect of the’ “old kitchen range.” This tobacco is togsted. Sounds fine; and makes everybody want one; 8o be the first ta say: “TI have smoked Lucky Strike.” —advt. " o'clock. DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, APRIL 23, 1917.
