Organizations have been perfected and the move- ment already is well under way in many states. The U. S. Boys' Work- ing Reserve operates through state and loca]l organizations. It aims to co-ordinate the effort to meet - @ ciently. the labor shortage, particu- larly that on the farms.

All of Company E bays, after two months of outdoor guard and outpost duty, are fine and fit and seem to be ready for immedi- ate service. . Along the line of march they were given frequent ap- plause. The first company, Home Guard, in command of Captain Samuel = Magson and Lieutenants Frank L. Traut and Burton E. Morey, also marched in the parade and in an automobile Mayor Quigley and several of the spéakers fallowed. - Mayor Asks for Volunteers. The response to the general appeal for men to attend the rally wus generous, about a ' thousand men thronging the Grammar school hall. Seated on the stage were members of the recruiting details, Grand Army wveterans, Home Guard officers and the speakers.. In opening his plea for recruits the mayor said that the ques- tion that has been put fairly and squarely up to New Britain is ‘whether or; not it is going to respond to the president's call for volunteers. New Britain has ever responded gen- erously to all calls of the nation, par- ticularly to the Red Cross and the “Liberty Loan,” the mayor said, and she must again come forward and give her sons elss her pride will be forever humbled. . Mayor Quigley paid a tribute to the patriotism of the foreign element, particularly to the Poles who, he said, have responded to the call in numbers as large, if not larger, than any other race. He said that only yesterday five Polish men were turned down for emlistmeént be- cause they 4id mot have a sufficlent knowledge of the ¥English language. Mayor Quigley recalled the yast num- bers of Polish men in the fifth’ ward who registered on June § and said that to & maa they were practically all willing to fight for their adopted country. To questiors, they replied that if their country wants them they are ready to fight, his honer sald. “Will you American-born péople be content to stand {dly by and see them enlist and do your share? the speaker. Harking back to the past, Mayor Quigley reminded his audien inscribed on the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ monument in Central park are the names of hundreds of men who offered their lives for the U, 8. A. over a half century ago. ber half are Irish names, ®0 it is not necessary to appeal to the Irish to do their duty by their country, he said. They are always fighting men and al- ways will' be, His Honor said. . He then thundered this question: ' “Is it true that you American-born boys have become s0 accustomed to ease and luxury that you will let the Irish and the Italians do your fighting for you? If this old flag is good enough to live under and to enjoy prasperity under, then for God’s sake go out and fight under it. As mayor of the city of New Britain I ask you, for the honor of the city, the honor of the state and the honor of the nation, go and enlist.” Germany Knows No Law. Rev. J. J. Fitzgerald, pastor of the church of St. John the Evangelist, was the next speaker and in his opening words he said that it. is now the duty of the United States to help out France and England in this great world war against a nation that knows no law and has no con- | science. Today, he said, the young l men of this country are needad just as badly as they ever were in 1776, 1865 and 1898. In those old days the youth of the country was needed to impart the liberty now enjoyed, later to preserve this liberty, in 1898 to to maintain the liberty of others and today to battle for the liberty of the world and to preserve Amer- ican institutions against the .ravages of a natlon that decorates its sol- diers with the Iron Cross for drop- ping death dealing bombas on defense- less women and children. In con- clusion the priest urged his listeners to heeéd the president's call for voi- unteers and to go forth and enlist in the nation's army of defense that the | flelds and homeés of the present gen- eration will not be laid waste by a heartless and war crazed enemy. A War for All People, Rey. Warren F. Cook, pastor of | the Methodist church, said this is a ! war for all people and the conflict The | struggle is for the protection of hu-' manity and is the same cause for jwhich the gray-haired veterans of "the Civil war battled so valiantly a half century ago. These men made sacrifices perhapes greater than the | boys of today will be called upon to, make, the speaker said, yet they did not hesitate when duty called. Im- mediate response to the president's call for volunteers, rather than de- lay and final drafting, was urged by ! the speaker. He said that soldiers| have informed him that the men who ; volunteer now will stand a much bet- ter chance of promotion than those who are drafted and, he added, if they enlist now they can choose their Pres- ‘Wilson!s . significant worde: “The time is short” were impressed upon the audience and in conclusiom Rev. Myp. Cook said that if the young man of today wants to give his life ‘where it will be of the sreatest sarv- fce to his country he had best de- Iay no longer but enlist at once. “We Are Ready Now.” Rev. Father Keefe of Plainfleld was the last speaker of the evening and an orator more eloquent in his; delivery or more convincing in his arguments could not have been se- cured. Father Keefe's words were fraught with intense patriotism and his inepiring plea was such that sent each of his listeners home with ample food for thought. After recounting the . many offenses of the ' German nation against civilization and against Christianity, the speaker explained how the war had been brought to; the very doors of the U. 8. A,, by this ruthless foe with his wicked and murderous ‘submarine until the na- tion could not hold back an instant longer if it was to retain its honor.

Father Keefe said that he did not believe that the spirit of the nation's forefathers is dead, but it has been Of this num- ! N DAILY HERALD lying ‘dormant awsiting moment when it would burst forth as of old. To show the spirit of the nation and its flghting men he recalled the sig- nificant event of a few weeks ago when the American flotilla arrived in the war zone. When the British ad- miral visited Admiral Simms and asked him how soon his men would be ready for action the vallant Amer- {canfcommander replied that ‘he was ready then. Such is the spirit of America, Father Keefe said. He urged all 'young men, regardless of race. or creed, to 'unite under the Red,” White and Blue banner of de- mocracy and to do their share to- ward the salvation of democracy and the overthrow of tyranny. In con- clusion he made a fervent and stir- ring plea for the young men to for- get that the draft has been ordered and to enlist immediately, rather than wait a.few weeks and be compelled to go. Volunteers Are Slow. . Following the outburst ‘of applause that was accorded Father Keefe's ‘words, Mayor Quigley arose, advanced to the front of the stage and, peering intently into the faces of his audi- ence, asked who would be the first young man to come forward and offer his services to his government. There ‘was a moment of uncomfortable shift- ing of feet, but not a man seemed in- clined at that minute to' “hit the trail.” As no one responded the may- or arose té his full height and shout- ed: “Then I have made my last ap- peal. Will no one come forward and do what the 26 Polanders did in New Britain in the past few days? = Strike up the band, Mr. Lynch, I have made my last appeal!” As the mayor ut- tered these words T. Clay Cavanaugh arose from the center of the audience and with a sweeping gesture of his hand and in a voice shaken with emo- tion, cried out that every eligible man present should feel ashamed. “You ought to be ashamed. You do not de- serve to be called Americans,” he said.’ One flashily dressed young man did climb upon the stage and was greeted by the mayor with open arms. He did not want to enlist, however, and said he merely sought information. He was instantly moved to one side as John Jones, who said that he iz 48 years of age, pushed forward, and, turning to the audience, the mayor ex- claimed: “To -the honor of the Irish race John Jones, aged 48 years, wants to enlist.”” Again.an appeal was'made for volunteers but none came forward and the meeting adjourned. As the crowd left the building Lieu- tenant Rodman Wright Chamberlain, Corporal Benson and Private O'Brien of Company I, First Infantry, acting as a recruiting detail, were approached by a score of young men. Nine of them made application for enlistment and a number of others promised to | give the matter careful consideration and said they would probably return on Saturday and join the colors. RUSHING U-BOAT ' CHASERS. Dozen Hulls Complete While Con- tract Called for Ome. Washington, June 29.—Rapid pros- ress is being made in the construc- tion of the hundreds of submarine chasers, recently ordered by the navy department. At the New York navy yards alone a dozen of the 110-foqt wooden hulls have been completed already, al- though the original plans called for the production of only one during the month of June. In August the yards will begin to deliver hulls at the rate of three a day. At the present time the engine pro- duction for the boats is a little be- hind schedule. ’ No decision has been reached as vet as to additional boats. With many vessels purchased and those under construction, many officlals believe enough have been supplied of this type of craft. There is some discus- sion of a larger boat mounting heavier’ guns, a vessel of 160-foot length having been proposed. the unanimous recommendation of ; bers. all experienced British naval officers who have been consuited. l | The 110-foot type was adopted on | been inserted in the record by mem- New styles and patterns in Caps a Besse-Leland's.—advt.
