T “That is down where I live.” hardly got started on our way when we heard that peculiar, strange, fe: ful, awful and hideous sound which warns the people to get out of the way. My friend and I stood for a ment in admiration and praise to see one and another of our fire appara- tuses pass by in ‘juick succession until five of those machines had passed Tt was a grand sight and honor due our brave firemen for the efficien- cy they displayed, and honor is due to our hoard of commissioners and the city government for providing such Franklin with a We list- aid: mo- is apparatuses. l A.

G. Hibbard, Rev, Russell H. Taft. Philip J. Markley and Rev. J. J. Fitzgerald, now pastor of the church of St. John the FEvangelist. { The speech of each man was filled | with phrases relati to patriotism and the Spanish war, but the closing paragraphs of Lawyer Markley's ad- | dress were not unlike similar words that are being uttered today in our present war. He said, in referring to the foreigners who came here and renounce allegiance to their native land, that they could be trusted. but he claimed that “those who came here to foment disorder or spread | dissension among our people, should | he banished from the United States.” In conclusion, the story tells of the night fireworks at Walnut Hill park. This year there were no night fire- works, nor was there that ushering in of July 4 with cannon and pistol. The aftenoon parade and speeches has also been supplanted with a con- cert and out door sports at Walnut Hill park. It is well within the memory of the most of us the time when the boisterous July 4th celebra- tlon began to subside in favor of the safe and sane forth. Time there w | when the fire department was run- ning from one end of the city to the other all night long preceding the | fourth in response to false alarms. Now such things are almost unheard of. Tt is only a comparatively few vears ago when right here in New Britain it was the custom, with po- lice sanction, to start the fourth of July celebration on the night of the third and most of us can remember the hundreds of voung men walking along Main street shooting off re- volvers and banging dvnamite canes. Those were the days when pandemo- nium reigned supreme. But although those have passed the observ- ance of July 4 is no less sincere and the day is held no less sacred to the n people.

In that year July 4th came on a Monday and the Ierald published an extra edition that evening, the front page of which was emblazoned with the headlines “Spanish Fleet No More. Shafter Gives the Spaniards in Santiago Until Noon to Surrender. The Troops Resting Prepara- te to the Next Attack.” Another glaring headline tells of the arrival of troops to support the late Admiral George Dewey at Manila. The brief bulletin concerning the battle of San- tiago, sent the people wild with en- thusiasm when read. It stated: ‘“The fleet under my command offers the nation as a Fourth of July present, the destruction of the whole Ceveras' flcet. Not one escaped. It attempted to escape at 30 m. and at 2 p. m. the last vessel, the Cristobal Colon, 1 run ashore sixty miles west of Santiago and has let down her color: The Marie Theresa, Oquendo and Viz caya were forced ashore, hurned and many respects cven more than w tighting Is American an- tiago.

Thirteen hundred Span- iards, Including Admiral Cevera, were captured. The American killed was George H. Tllis, chief yeoman of the Brooklyn. (Signed) Sampson.” For those too young to remember this glorious victory for the American | navy they can well imagine the scenes of patriotic delight and celebration with which the city resounded on that eventful day. May they soon be re- peated.

The complete list of distinguishing insignia follows: Company cook, an inverted pot at- tached to the sleeve in the form of a chevron; company mechanic, crossed sledge hammers in the same manner: bugler, no distinguishing marks: lance corporal, one stripe; corporal, two triangular stripes on an arm chevron; duty sergeants, three stripes; supply sergeant, three stripes with a stripe across the bottom, making a design similar to a triangle; top sergeant, three stripe with a diamond-shaped design underneath: second lieutenant, leather puttees, gold and hlack hat cord, crossed guns and regimental number and company insignia on collar; first lieuteant, one silver bar on each shoulder, as well as gold and black hat cord and leather puttees; captain, two silver bars, officer's hat cord and puttees, major gold leaf on each shoulder; lieutenant colonel, sil- ver leaf on each shoulder: colonel, silver spread eagle on shoulder; brig- adier general, silver star on each shoulder; major general two silver stars; general, the highest rank in the army, three silver stars and a gold bar on the shoulders. e ing vour e views military affairs remember that: A “rookie” is a recruit; only privates, corporals, sergeants, etc., are enlisted men, an officer is a commissioned man who is in the service for no pre- determined term: to bhe ‘“drafted” means forced into military or naval service by law rather than by volun- tary servitude; t® ‘volunteer” means to enter the service willingly; “rank and file” does not means officers and men, “rank” is a row of soldiers and a “file” is marching order,one abreast; a major commands a battalion comprising four companies;*a colonel commands a regiment. composed of three hattalions, making a dozen com- panies; a general in the army ranks with an admiral in the navy; a lieu- tenant general is the corresponding rank of vice admiral and a major gen- eral ranks with a rear admiral; since Dewey's death the American navy has not admiral and there are vice admirals, neither are there any gen- erals or lieutenant generals. e One of the most about New absence the various a as a a And when ai on no glorious Britain’s Fourth of a things was the single serious accident. Contrast it with other years when people have heen shot, fingers have been blown® off, blood poisoning has resulted from wounds and faces have been forever marred by powder ex- plosions. e There are still a few motorists who do not realize that the new motor vehicle law was drafted to he en- forced. This refers particularly to the glaring headlights, * e While most motor truck owners are observing the law in reference to equipping their machines with mir- rors, many of them have overlooked section elewen of the law and do not realize that they are violating it Briefly, this law provides that all trucks with a carrying capacity of over two tons must have couspicu- ously in view, on both sides near the driver’s seat, a plate or other perma- nent marking, showing the maximum carrying capacity in pounds and also the vehicle’s light weight in pounds when in running order. The lotter- ing must be at least an inch high and three-sixteenths of an inch wide. e x Residents the heat of a cer- tain well-known letter carrier are en- joving a good lauzh at his expense, according to gossip in the neighbor- hood. According to the current story, the letter carrier has a well-developed bump of curiosity and exercises the same by casually reading various post cards as he trudges along. On the d. engrossed in reading a card he was about to de- liver and did not notice that the ex- pectant recipient had quietly opened the front door. The remark of the woman, “I'd like that card as soon as vou eel through reading it,” elicited no response from the man in gray. along With New Britain's successful Red Cross campaigns still fresh in mind, an episode in a similar campaign at Middletown, Ohio, is of sufficient in- C0.

When asked for contributions a poor Slavish woman explained that she had no money but wanted to help. She do- nated a chicken and eleven eggs. A happy ldea struck the leaders of the campaign and the gift was sold at auction and brought $100. The new owner advertised his plan and the hen and eggs were resold at auction. The entire community turned out and wealthy people bought the eggs at prices ranging from $40 to $50 each. The hen sold for $266, making a total income of $2,002, which was credited to the name of the poor old woman making the original Red Tross dona- tion. . x . With the approach of the vacation season a word of warning, particularly agalnst typhoid; the dread vacation aftermath, is advisable. Everyone go- ing away should be extremely careful about eating and drinking, particular- ly the latter, as it is in water that typhoid germs are often carried. Ty- phoid is not contagious, like a cold, but is taken into the system through the mouth in food and drink. One of the best precautions, medical experts say, is anti-typhoid vaccination such as all soldiers and sailors have. PPN When, at a recent recruiting rally, a civilian termed a volunteer ‘a sucker” for enlisting and made the remark in the presence of a soldler, and the soldier promptly knocked him down, we are inclined to condone the poor eyesight of the policeman who ‘“didn’t see it.” When an en- listed man takes an eligible civilian to task for nat enlisting the civilian has little in the way of argument to offe The soldier has practised what he preaches. .o Toilet articles, including soap, are reported to he advancing in price. TIf they continue to keep abreast of the times cleanliness, instead of being proverbially ‘“next to Godliness,” will be next to impossible. PR In many offices the clerks have been informed that all vacations must be ended before August 1. This is be- cause there are numerous male clerks eligible for the draft or already called to the colors., increasing the amount of work for those who re- main. Lieu- | berg, Frank S.

Rookics Learning to Drill. Routine work of drilling continues the order of the day at Camp Funston, in Walnut Hill park. The various non-commissioned officers are teach- ing the rookies the various duties of a soldier and are today initiating them into the mysteries of squad move- ments. All of the new men have been given clothing, but as yet there are not enough cots or tents. Last night seventeen men had to sleep in one tent which is made to accommodata only eight. Learning of the lack of cots at the camp, Superintendent of Schools Stanley H. Holmes has taken up with Mayor Quigley the advisa- bility of loaning the soldiers two dozen cots used at the open air school, It is expected that these will be loanad to the company until the government supply arrives. Frank S. Cadwell, ex- sergeant major and a former Com- pany E man, has donated a cot to the company. Tabs Visit Lieutenant, President Albert Volz and a special delegation from the Y. M. T. A, & B. society visited Lieutenant Harris at the armory last night ta lay before him their complaint against Cook] Arthur Anderson, whom they charge with insulting their members during a recent recruiting rally in front of sthe clubhouse. The Tab men ex- plained their side of the case and were told by the lieutenant that if the charges they made were correct he thought they were entitled to an apology from the saldier. They stated that an apology was what they want. Lieutenant Harris states how- ever, that as far as the military au- thorities are concerned this contro- ver: s none of their affair, but rather an affair between Cook Anderson in- dividually and the Tabs. | | | | | | | BOY SLEEPS AT POLICE STATION. Emil Heintzman, aged 13 vears, of Clayton has the distinction of being one of the youngest municipal lodgers recorded at police headquar- ters for manpy days. Capt. T. W. Grace, as he went off duty last night about midnight, discovered the scant- ilv clad and shivering form of the hoy near the railroad arcade.
