Cruel as the war is, great as the sur- ferings must be for this nation, and ‘all the others lined up ageinst the biggest military power the world has ever known, there can be no. turning back. It may take millions of men to accomplish the purpose, but the warld must be ridden of this evil,—the ugly head of militarism. It is a terrfble indictmént that President Wilson reads against /fhe German military masters. It is based on facts, and no man with a mind to think for himself can refute them. Heshas seen through their plans for a Peacs that would be but a mominal truce. Here is how he expressed ft: They have but one chance to perpetuate their military power or even their controlling: bolit- ical influence. | If they can se- cure peace now with the immense advantages still in their. hands which they have up to this point apparently gained, they will have justified themselves before the German people; they will have gained by forcé what they prom- ised to gain by it——an immense expansion of German power, an immense enlargement of German dndustrial. and .commercial op- portunities. Their prestige will be secure, and with their prestige their political power. If they fail, their people will thrust them aside; a Government accountable to the people themselves will be set up in Germany as it has been in England, in the United States, in France and in all the great countries of the modern time ex- cept Germany. If they succeed, they are safe and Germany and the world are undone; if they fail, Geéermany 'is saved and the world will be at peace. If they succeed, America will fall within the menace. We and all the rest of the world must.remain armed, as they will remain, and must make ready for the next step in thelr aggression. 7 \ These are words that demand eareful study. They sum up the en- tire situation. THey tell why we are fighting Germany. They “transcend all petty. things and go to the very heart of fundamentals. The sinking of the Lusitania was a mere incident. The rape of Belgium was another. They were but steps in the progress of affairs that finally drew this na- tion into the war, & nation that is *builded upon the principles of 1b- erty and freedom. Every principle of our government, of our independ- ent lives, is antagonistic to the things that have been set up and sanctioned by the drill masters of Germany. 'xnowlng the program of Germany, the -extension of so-called Kuitur over the Seven Seas, we realize that it the Entente Allies are defeated we must meet upon our own shores this monster that struts up and down the shores of Europe, attempting to bend everybody and everything to its will. We know now that it is one thing or the other for the world,—Demoe- racy or Autocracy. - Either we are to live or die. We are to destroy or be destroyed. D ‘The message of Woodrow Wilson on Flag Day is clear. It should be studied by all those who are even at the present at a loss to know why we are fighting in a war that takes place three thousand miles from our shores. Is-should be read over onoe, twice, three times, by those who have not the vision to see the handwriting on the wall. The challenge is sharp to the doubters. The president has framed it in this fashion: “For. us there is but one cholce. We have made it. Woe be to the man or group of men that seeks to stand in our way in this day of high resolution when every principle we hold dearest is to be vindicated and made secure for the 'salvation of the nation.” NEW BRITAIN'S HELPING HAND. This is an excusable pride, the pride of New Britain in having over- subscribed to the Liberty Loan of 1917. Having been allotted ' some $1,500,000 worth of these bonds as the amount approximately measuring our strensth,:the ‘American Bankers' Association must now revise its eati- mate by more than haif a milllon dollars. New Britain’ was called and’ not found wanting. There is a great satisfaction that belongs to all those who purchased Liberty bonds, no matter of what ‘denomjnation. For the most part those who purchased them could not buy them outright” These bonds will' have to. be paid for in weekly or monthly or quarterly in- stallments. Thus the men and wom- en who have respondéd to their coun- try’s need will at ‘the same time reap the benefit of saving. Dollars and cents that were formerly thrown away in foolish ime and sport will now be saved and put away to go as payment toward the Liberty !;ondn Ag the hours speed, this saving will each and every purchaser of & Liberty. M n full of s tidy nn ot /money, represented by the greatest ‘security in the world, the United States government.. i It is'not given to every man w be able to fight for hlu country, It fs not given to every woman to go forth on the battlefield and nurse the ‘wounded, the sick, and the dying. At the same time everyone is not able to put away a stated amount of money each week, or month, or year. Fam- ily burdens, known by many, have prevented their. purchesing of Lib- erty bonds. Those who did so are in- deed in the fortunate class. They have helped themselves while at the same time they have given material atd to the govermeem. in the conduct of this war. That the people of New Britain have lived up to the traditions of the city, and the state, is a source of gratification to all those who také an interest in the growth and devel- opmeiit of this community. Never vet has the call gone forth but what the people: here -have heartily re- sponded. And the calls have been many and frequent. Hardly has one request for money been issued then there follows on its heels another. Because of our cosmopolitan popula- tion we have been asked to help al- most every people on the face of the earth. We have done so, and in good measuré. When the call came for our own we could have done nothing more, nor less, than see this enterprise was subscribed to in mag- nificent fashion. We may be pardoned then for feel- ing the thriii and the joy that come with a good work well done. But the work is not over by any means. We have purchased our Liberty bonds. We have other duties to at- tend to, and, in attending to them jn Just buch a spirit as we manifested in helping float this loan we will galn added joy. The Liberty Loan is a mutual benefit in that we shall redp the ‘harvest we have sown in dollars and ocents. Other gifts from us will not carry a compounded in- terest as formulated and prescribed by banking institutions. Charity is its own reward, and the yeturn to the giver will be a spiritunl conso- lation realized in knowing that a duty has been done, and well done. Therefore, We start anew ' today ready for further calls that may he made upon us. In a world of misery and suffering we have been spared. We are in the midst of plenty while others in far .distant countries gy starving. There is no faming O dearth of food, clothing or &helter here. In this thought we: find deep - consolation for our lot lite and thank a Divine Providence for being able to help where help is needed. This war has developed an interest- ing duel between the foeman and the hoeman. FAOTS AND FANOCIES. ‘“Virtue is its own reward,” but a lot of other good things'need a press agent.—Springfleld News.

AGARD TO VISIT HERE. Dr. Isaac M. Agard, president of Tillotson College at Austin, Texas, an institution supported Hberally by lo- cal religious institutions, is expected to arrive in New Britain tomorrow en route for his summer home at Amherst, Mass. He plang to pass the remainder of the month visiting rel- atives in this city and Plainville. Among normal school teachers and students he is best known as for nearly a quarter of a century prin- cipal of the Rockville High school and superintendent of schools in that city. For over ten years he has béen at the head of the Texas institution.

In war time and in hostile territory it has been an immemorial rule to punish with death sentinels who fell asleep on their posts. And it is ‘as a Sentinel that the Young Soldier may first contract that sense of personal responsibility which renders him not only 'a valu- able member of his own Company, but also prepares him for pramotion. No man can rise from a Private to a First Class Private, from a First Class Private to a Corporal, from a Corporal to a Sergeant, from Sergeant or First Sergeant to . Commissioned Officer, unless he has evinced a dis- Pposition to take responsibility. The men least capable of acepting .re- sponsibility lag longest in the ranks; the men who show earliest signs of assuming responsibility—gladly and capably—will be first to advance. ‘Guard Duty is prescribed in detail in a separate Guard Manual, This contains many regulations for the proper performance of this duty; but in general it may be sald that Guards in camp or garrison preserve order, protect praperty and enforce police regulations. A-tour of duty for the Guard is twenty-four hours, out of which a Septinel is on post two hours out of every six. He is under the supervision of the officer ar non- commissioned officer of the Guard, Wwho in turn is responsible to the officer of the Day. Guards receive two classes of or- ders—general and special. Special orders relate to posts with certain pe- culiarities and to particular dutles. But the General Orders for the Independence Bell. There was tumult in the city, In the quaint old Quaker town, ‘And the streets were rife with people Pacing restless up and down; People gathering at corners, ‘Where they whispered each to each And the sweat stood on their temples, ‘With the earnestness of speech, As the bleak Atlantic currents Lash the wild Newfoundland shore, 8o they beat against the state house, So they surged against the door, And the mingling of their voices Made a harmony profound Till the quiet street of Chestnuts - Was all turbulent with sound. ““Will they do it?” “Dare they do it?” + “Who is speaking?” “What's the news?"” of Adams?” man “0, God grant they won't refuse!" “Make some way there!” ‘“Let me nearer!” ‘I am stifing!” Stifle then: ‘When a nation’s life’s at hazard ‘We've no time to think of men!" “What of Sher- 14 So they beat against the portal— Man and woman, maid and child; And the July sun in heaven On the scene looked down and smiled; The same sun that saw the Spartan Shed his patriot blood in vain, Now beheld the soul of freedom All unconquered rise again. Aloft that high steeple Sat the bellman, old and gray; He was weary of the tyrant And his iron-sceptered sway; 80 he sat with one hand ready On the clapper of the bell, ‘When his eye should catch the signal Very happy news to tell. See! see! the dense crowd quivers Through all its lengthy line, As the boy beside the portal Looks. forth to give the sign! ‘With his small hands upward lifted, Breezes. dallying with his halr, Hark! with deep, clear (ntonltlon. Breaks his young voice on the air. Hushed the people’s swelling murmur, List the boy’s strong, joyous cry! “Ring!” he shouts aloud; “ring!” grandpa! Ring! Oh, ring for Liberty!* And straightway, at the signal, The old bellman lifts hand, And sends the good news, making Iron music through the land, How they shouted! What rejoicing! How the old bell shook the air, Till the clang of freedom ruffled The calm gliding Delaware! How the bonfires and the torches Illumed the night’s repose. And from the flames, like Phoenix, Fair Liberty arosels . That old bell now is silent, And hushed its iron tongue, But the spirit is awakened Still lives—forever young. And while we greet the sunlight On the Fourth of each July, ‘We'll ne’er forget the bellmn, Who, ‘twixt the earth and sky, Rung out our Independence, Which pleace God, shall never die! The particular observation suggest- ed by increased British ship losses the past week from recent low levels is that the royal road to the destruction of German U boats has not yet been found. But as against hard and vigi- lant work with the best means at hand, thefe is no royal road to much of anything in this world.—New York ‘World. GIRL CUTS OFF OWN HAIR. Yielding to the wanderlust spirit, Margaret Banrich of 11 West street and Annie Konstanchik, e girl chum, left their homes unannounced to see the world last Tuesday.

The Orders, which. he should repeat to himself from time.to time on past, are as follows: “To take charge of this post and all Government property in view. “T'o walk my post in a military manner, keeping always on the alert and observing everything that takes place within sight or hearing. “To report all violations of orders *I am instructed to entogce. “To .repeat all calls from posts more distant from the guard house than my own. *' “To quit my post only when proper- ly relieved. “To receive, obey and pass on to the Sentinel who relieves me all orders frocm the Comanding Officer, Officer of the Day, and officers and non-commissioned officers of the i Guard only. “To talk to no one except in line o? duty. “In case of fire or disorder to give the alarm. “To allow no one to commit s nuis- ! ance on or near my post, “In any case not covered by in- structions to call the Corporal of the Guard. “To be especially watchful -at night and, during the time for chal- lenging, to challenge all persons on or near my post, and to allow no one to pass without proper authority.” Tomorrow's article will be on Ap- plying the "Fundamentals of a Soldier.
