H. Burton, making arrangements with the Plainville Trust company to take out a $100 bond in the name of the church. During his sermon yesterday the rector made an appeal for subscrip- tions to the loan and the congrega- tion decided that it would be well to have the members, show an interest as a unit as well as individuals - and Mr. Burton was authorized to pur- cHhse a bond. The church has a fund, the use of which is left to the rector’s discretion and the $100 for the Liberty bond was taken from this amount. . Myr.

And tonight as we are here under the circumstances I am going to ask you to consider with me what it all means and why it should be something we are to carry and bear al l srelt burden until we can lay it N as a task finished and well done. "Thl. war is different from any war ever waged since humane history be- gan, near parallels may be found for some, of its. aspect, but as a whole there has nsver been a war, like it. Not in respect té its magnitude, etc., although here also it is alone. But.in the way in which two great and op- | posing principals as to human gov- ernment and society, as to ~human rights and privileges, as to ideals of life and character are here locked in | gigantic struggle ip which there can be no compromise but in which the issue must be settled, in other words in which the conflict must be fought m in the "nrkms Chllfl‘hesMn a finish.

Shall we try this .more clearly tonight? What has now become evident is that the German government, which is not neceszurily the some as the German people of their own fr:e impulse, has i been for a number of years and espe- cially during the reign of the present emperor been aiming at the control of the world and in the pursuit of this aim it has allowed no considera- tion of morals or the rights of nations to stand in the way. Every means to this desired end have been un- sfully used. Bribery, double- %, intrigue. deccit, all directed the inrperial headquarters, have most lavishly used, on a scale that is appalling, now that so many recent facts have been laid bare, for the past forty years or more. The basest treacheries, spies masquerad- ing as friends and basely misusing the hospitality unsuspiciously granted by friendly powers have been employed by the German government, not only since the war began, but for years h;u!mnmflm“ghn'f: m&“‘“x that ha® | hefore. and In preparation for the seen that thing, we haven't had any | T close experience of. it, but we know it | “In further preparation for the ac- = the fact that there is war in | complishment of this great end, the ',mm“'wofld. a world war, being waged | control of the world has been mili- 3,000 miles away, but as much a fact | tarization of the German people, the systematic and marvelously perfect- éd scheme to make of the whole pop- ulation of Germany and her ally one thoroughly organized army all abso- lutely under the control of the im- perial power.

Witness its intrigues and successes in Turkey, in China, its acquisition of great areas in Africa and its influential colonies in South America. “In regard to much of this outward- ly little criticism might be called for, only as its determining motive is now discerned, is it necessary to. speak of it-heré. 'A state consecrated to the gaining of the supreme place, to a pol- icy that knows but one principal, might is right. On every effort for disarmament Germany sets her foot. In August, 1914, it seemed that Ger- many was going to succees. The suc- cess of the plan has so far been marked. In nearly every respect it seemed as though in case a conflict were precipitated German success in Europe would be certain. “Then came the precipitation of the conflict and why, ultimately because one small body of people refused to be ground to dust with the liberty and rights entirely taken away. And now the conflict is on, between democracy and liberty ‘as ever against autocracy and slavery; between morality and the total disregard of it as guiding na- tional affairs, between humanity and inhumanity no matter how intellectual and scientific, between law -and law- lessness. “This is the issue, America is in the war, not to help England and France or to fight their battles, but to help mankind to be free from the greatest, most powerful, most unscru- pulous, most savage enemy of humane liberty ever organized as a govern- ment, the Imperial German govern- ment. Far from the actual conflict, it is ours as much as England’s and France’ We have come in late, we couldn’t stay out and propably great trials and sorrows are ahead of us. We are slow to realize how it touches us as will touch us closely. Later it will come home to us, “These are days for serious think- ing and character is at stake in this war, let us emphasize character anew: morality is at stake, whether the right or might is to rule; religion is at stake, it is going to be called to g0 through' a testing such as has not been for many a day. The fear of sovernment and the keeping of the commandments is surely upon us with new emphasis.” At the Churches.

James H. Minor, a son of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Minor of East Main street, has the djstinctiod of being the first Plainville man to register for conscription under the-law recently passed by Congress. Mr. Minor, al- though maintaining his resideénce here, spends most of his time in New York:' He is at present home on a visit and as he expects to be out of town on June 5, the day selected for the registering of the country’'s mili- tary eligibles, he called at the town clerk’s office today to have his name placed on the list. Mr. Minor gave his age as thirty vears. He is a law student in the New York Law school and he makes no claims for exemp- tion from draft. He is at present color sergeant in the fleld artillery of the New York National Guard. Lester J. Niven of Cambridge, Mass!, was also a caller at the town clerk’s office today in connection with conscription registration. He is at present employed here and as he will be unable to get to his home town on Registration day he secured a blank to be forwarded by mail. Arrangements for the Plainville registration on June 5 have been practically completed and the work should be done here without confu- sion, a number having volunteered to assist the selectman, town clerk and registrars of voters who have been designated by the governor as the town registration board- Constable Marino is doing consid erable missionary work among _the Italians of the town that they.may not fail to register because of ignor- rance of the law. Many of them seem to believe that as they are not citizens of the Unitéd States they are not compelled to register. The officer has had some difficulty in‘convincing them of the need of registering and marched into the services each one was decorated with a bunch of violets. The 8unday school.children helped in the exercises at the Soldier's monu- ment after the church services. The Boy.Scouts are expected to be ‘up bright and early on Wednesday morning as the members of the troop are to plant a garden on Beach Swamp road. Red Cross Meeting. All the ladies of Kensington are in- vited to attend the all day sewing meeting of the Red Cross which wiil be held at the home of Mrs. C. J.' Burr on Tuesday. Up to the present time the local ladies have done very efficient wdrk for the case and have completed 106 articles altogether. Lunch will be served to the workers at noon.

Members of the medical corps of the Plainville company of the Home Guard had their first: practical lesson' in soldier life yesterday, Lieutenant L. H. Frost having called them un-! or duty at short ngtice and yester- day they tried it dut, notifying all the members by telephone that they were wanted immediately. * In a few minutes after the order sleepy-eyed mem- Byington's was dispatched, bers began to report at Drug store, the place designated for~ assembly, and in about a half an hour, the entire division was ready to carry out whatever orders the commanding officer would see fit to give. Lieutenant Frost marched the men to Woodford’s fleld where they spent nearly three hours in intensive drill. They were dismissed shortly after seven o’clock, most of them hur- rying to their homes to get their beauty sléep of which they had been deprived by the daylight call to duty. Machine Gun 'in Parade. The machine gun division of the Home Guard organized among the employes of the Rockwell-Drajke com- pany drilled in the Town hall yester- day. The division has been presented with a rapid fire gun by A. F. Rock- well, president of the Marlin Arms company of New Haven, which re- cently absorbed the local concern. The gun is expected here by this evening. Many of the members have already secured uniforms and it is probable that this branch of the guard will take part in the Memorial day parade, the entire Plainville unjt acting as es- cort for the Civil war vetersns. Another From Bristol Bress. The Bristol Brass company fur- nished another subject for treatment by local! authorities today, Constable Marifio having piaced nunder arrest vesterday, William Gallagher, an em- ploye of the concern, who had brought 2 healthy “jag” to town witk him. The man was helplessly intoxicated and the officer took him to the lock-up. He will be given a hearing befors night by Justice Condell. Appraising Railrosd Lend. Agents of the Interstate Commerce commission are in tdwn for the pur- pose of securing an. appraisal on property owned by railroads. “They are acting under the law phssed a year ago by congress to determine the real valuation of the property of the rallroads th/ouzhont the country. The men called at the town clerk's office to get the names of people own- ing property contiguous to the land of the railroad, their intention ' pre- sumably being to get estimates’ from them as to the value of the land. Gives Patriotic Address. The needs of-the nation and the individual responéfbility for the suc- cess of the war were eloquently ex- plained by Rev, J. W. Denton in an address on “True Patriotism” given at the Advent Christian church last evening in connection with a patriotic memorial service. The address was delivered before a large congregation, despite the unfavorable weather, members of the G. A: R. and its aux- iliaries and the Home guard turning out in large numbers to attend. Impressive exercises were held dur- ing the evening. Mr., Denton’s ad- dress was a feature of the program and it m: a most profound impres- sion on hfs auditors. It was an ad- mirable appeal to, the patriotism of all peoples and it was delivered in splendid style. . Know Williard Warriner? Postmaster P. J. Prior has received a letter from Mrs. E. C. Still of Derby inquiring about the family of Williard Warriper. According to the letter expectedly for drill at 4 o’clock in the morning. Recently Lieutenant Frost and Sergeant Gage Kent perfected - a plan whereby the members of tho corps could be summoned for drill ‘the past week and the following di- Mrs. Still believes Warriner at one time lived in Plainville.

Mrs. Still's letter of inquiry was sent, she writes, as a friend of the War- riner family. Brief Items. The W. C..T, U. will meet Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs. C. W. Moody.
