Even in these days of rigid economy and strict frugality, I deem it not wastage but an enlight- ened form of economy, that in each community of our ancient common- wealth, this day be. fittingly and inex- pensively celebrated. I urge that it be celebrated in a spirit of reéeverence and consecration; that we summon up the shades. of the nation’s great and make them our oraci that we scan reverently every well-established pre- cedent and every sacred tradition; and that Independence Day of 1917 in the state of Connecticut be instilled with gratitude for the past, grim responsi- bility for the. present, and unshaken relo]uuon for the future.” BRITISH NEAR TISH NEAR LENS Advance to Within Mile of Industrial Center by Capture of Village of La Coulotte. avenue, discharged; Michael Kuish of |- 14 Beatty street, discharged; Albert Schultz of 115 Beaver street, fined §5 and costs; Michdel Gussman of 22 Gak street, fined $5 . and costs; Jacob Zypko of 77 East Lawlor street, dis-: charged on a nolle. Anxiety of Haward Smith of 107 Lasalle street as to whether today's arraignment would affect prior pro- bationary mandates caused said prior probationary privileges to be revoked as well as the imposing of a fine or $10 and costs for.intoxication. The ac- cused, arrested by Policeman James Skelly, ‘pleaded guilty to being under the influence of liquor last night and, after the original ruling in his case had been announced, asked anxiously if it would affect his' probationary condition. *You are now on praba- tion” inquired Judge Meskill. An affirmative response brought forth an additiona] sentence of revoking the past decree of leniency. In order to secure the appearance of an essential witness and break a deadlock between allegations of the complainant and denials of the ac- cused, arraignment of Joseph Blazck of 312 Elm street, charged with as- sault in his landlady and others at the home address, was continued until tomorrow. *“You had better use the money to pay your board, instead of using it to buy liquor,” is alleged to have been the statement arousing the domestic storm.

Charged with violation of the state insurance statutes in writting policies without authorization from state authorities, Samuel Kordok of 137 ‘Winter street, pleaded guilty and was fined $50 and costs. The fine was imposed upon statement of fact and recommendation of Prosecuting At torney Klett. Attorney Patrick F. McDonough represented the accused. A nolle was entered in consideration of a second count of much similar nature. . The accused contended his trouble was caused by a misinterpre- | tation of the statues and belief that a permit to write life insurance poli- cies also gave authorization for simi- lar conduct in the handling of those relating to fire protection. No in- tent in violating regulations was claimed. The counts were brought upon complaint of the New Britain Fire Underwriters’ association. Rep- resenting the association, County Commissioner Edwin W. Schultz at- tended the court session as an expect- ed witness for the state. A repre- sentative of the state insurance com- missioner’s office had also been sum- moned. In connection with the hear- ing, a capias was ordered issued for Charles Paraydi of 263 Jairview street, summoned by Sergeant Theo- dore Johnson as a material witness. Hearing of breach of the peace charges against Willlam Schieiger of 22 Homes avenue was continued until Saturday. Some time ago, arraigned on similar charges, he was warned to keep away from the home of his parents. It is alleged he has not com- plied with the mandate. Policeman Anthony Walinczus made the arrest. Attorney Patrick F. McDonough ap- peared for the accused and request- ed the continuance. ‘Aftermath of a trip to Norwich to see soldier. friends in Co.

E. Prothero, minis- ter of agriculture to the Associated Press today. “The outcome of the said Mr. Prothero, “may uilti- mately hang on the question.of food supplies and the American armor is allotted the essential part to play in the great strusgle for freedom ' This declaration, with a note of welcome to agriculturists who are determined to use every ounce of their strength to win the war on the plough: lands of the United States, was the ‘keynote of the " minister's message to the American farmer. Digcussing the moral and . material ‘effact on agriculture by the entrance of the United States into the war, Mr. Prothero continued: “To vindicate the cause of human- ity and nationa] liberty the great de- mocracy of the western world, true to its traditions, has taken its stand on the side of allied people. clear cut, memorable phrases Pres- ident Wilson stated the high ideals animating the United States in joining the allied ‘cause. “The president in his address April 16 puts to the forefront an ap- peal to the.farmers. ‘He bids them carry. on to -their plow lands the same : .spirit that . animates: 'their brother allies in the trenches, on sea and in munition factaries. From the grim spectacle. of human carnage and from the feverish race of piling up munitions the farmer stands aloof. His task is‘to make hills, plains and valleys stand ‘so thick with corn that they shall sing. . Yet the man who drives a plow is helping as is the man who “shoulders a riffe. “The need of food for man and beast is great whether peace is won or war is prolonged.” * 120,000 Women Working on Farms. Replying:to a question ‘as to what the united kingdom is doing in the way of food:production, Mr. Prothero 1] said that fully one-third of ‘' labor usually -empioyed on land has been taken for war work. ‘‘Short-handed, harrassed by a hundred difficulties, the farmers are doggedly Mtruggling to‘increase grain production by half,” continued the minter. ‘‘Upwards of 120,000 women inh- England and Wales, old and young, drawn from every section of the counyry, are toil- ing on land, toiling hard ..nd continu- In E 26'1917 oual! ‘We have quadrupled our gar- den plots. After a hard day’s work men return to their homes to labor with their wives. ““There has been no eomplunt con- |1 cerning breadstuffs substituted for wheaten loaf. The situation has been accepted and everywhere there is de- termination to eat within tether how- ever it may be. Brewing has been reduced to a minimum. This is e serious deprivation to men working at furnaces, in foundries and harvest flelds. For generations they have been accustomed to the use of beer and believe in the aid it gives them. It comes to be a part of their daily diet and' they know of no substitute replace fit. “We are further contemplating 2 drastic reduction of our livestock so more grain may be available for human food. These privations will have to be endured, but we do not fear such shortage as would mean starvation.” Mr. Prothero then discussed the value of co-operation of the Ameri- can farmers and continued: God Speed the Plough. ‘“There is risk that the shortage of food may strain endurance to the breaking point. There is as yet no indication that we even have distant- 1y approachédd that point, but en- durance might snap if, for instance, the milk supply failed through in ability to feed the dairy herd, be- cause the lives of little children would be threatened. Thus there is a greater question involved in food supply than the loss of ordinary comforts of life or even reduction in its accustomed necessities. For this reason it is ' a welcome relief to us to know that the farmers of the United States are co-operating with the Allles, that they fully realize the essential part they play in this struggle from free- dom; that they are bringing into their work the spirit of self sacrifice and endurance and that they are de- termined to put out the last ounce of their strength to win the war on the plough larids’ y! the United States. Here and /there’ God speed the plough.” PHITA. MYSTERY ENDS. Man Was Naval Officer—Woman His Fiancee. Philadelphia, June 26.—The mys- tery surrounding the death of a man and woman in a hotel in this city on Sunday last” was cleared = today when, John J.
