Merwin Brick compeny of-' fice at 12:40 o'clock. The speakers at this rally will be the Rev. 8. A. Fiske, jpastor of the; Berlin Congre- gational church, and it is hoped that a speaker will be present to address the Italians in their own language. The Hartford branch of the National Defense League, under whose aus- pices the rally will be held, has sent iword that they will also send a man to speak at the rally. Friday evening at 8:15 o'clock the big rally will take place in Forest- ers’ hall and at this time Berlin's quota is expected to be completed. At 7:30 o'clock there will be a street parade which will be led by St. Pauls T. A. B. drum corps, -the members having vélunteered their services, fol- lowed by the:full company of the Home Guard and a numiber of auto- mobiles. The parade will form at the hall, march through to the Kensing- ton district, returning to the hall at 8:15 o'clock. Judge George G. Gris- wold will be the chairman of the ral- ly and the speakers will be Rev. J. C. Brennan, pastor of St. Paul's church, ‘and Rev. C. F. Dodge, pastor ‘of, the Hast Berlin Methodist chyrch. In addition to these men a speaker 18 expected from the Hartford head- quarters. / All parties-concerned are entering into the affair to make it a success, as may be learned from the fact that the Foresters are giving their hall, the Drum Corps their services, and ‘members of St. Paul's parish the chairs. Henry Deming, who has gailned fame as a decorator, will trint the hall some time tomorrow, and already enough flags have been of- fered to do the work. The commit- tee has ordered posters printed and these will be distributed about the town_some time today or tOomorrow. Berlin is expected to live up to past traditions in producing her share of men for the army of the United States and there is mo doubt in the minds of the committeemen but what the town will come through with flying colors. In times gone by the town has already sent & full quota and more Into the service of the country, and the old spirit certainly will not be al- lowed to die in the present crisis. Already the young men of the town have responded in wonderful style to the call for merr to the army and navy' and at the present time there are a goodly number enlisted in the Na- tional Guard and Naval Reserve. Invitations have been issued the wedding of Paul Baker and Miss “Civil Service” Tonight. The postponed play “Civil Service” which was to have been given under the auspices of the local Grange over a month ago will be staged in the hall on Farmington road this even- ing. The young people of the Mer- iden Grange will presént the play and as they already have a reputation as players there is little doubt but what the affair will be a complete success. Following the play a social time will be held and dancing enjoyed by those go inclined.

Paris, June 27.—The Vatican has been entirely absolved in the Italian courts of knowledge of the espionage activities of\Monsignor Von Gerlach, the Austrian prelate who was fo merly private chamberlain to Pope and who has been sentenced to imprisonment for life, though he has fled from Italy. The judgment of the court before which the case was tried is that none of the acts of which Monsignor Von Gerlach was accused were committed within the Vatican or other places ocoupied by the Holy See. The prel- ate, evidence established, carried on his illicit activities clandestinely and by his own means. BRITISH SOOTALISTS HOLD ALOOF Decline to Participate in Conference at Stockholm.
