WAR A PURIFIER OF, WORLD’S ILLS Rev. Father Sullivan Speaks of Nations’ Sins and Says Divorce Is America’s, Spiritual exultatian of the world as a direct result of the war is a picture of the future given his sermon at the 9 o’clock mass yes- terday by Rev. J. Leo Sullivan, curate at St. Joseph's church. Rev. Father Sullivan prefaced his remarks by referring to the lightning of war which has struck America al- though two yvears ago such an eventu- ality seemed scarcely possible to the man in the street. He also referred feelingly to the draft and said many hames would be saddened when yvoung men marched away, some of them, possibly, never to return. God has permitted war, Rev. Father Sullivan said, because many European nations have turned their backs on Him and have driven His priests from their lands. He specified ; instances of England, France, Germany and Ttaly as examples of nations that have forgotten God in their ambition for wealth and power. “Thank God, this cannat be sald of | America,” said the priest feverently. “Since the time this action was founded, no federal administration has permitted the enactment of statutes discriminating against the church. America can stand before the Supreme Tribunal and plead innocent to any such charge.” But America is not without sin, Rev. Father Sullivan said, and its besttting vice is divorce, which is allowed to flourish unchecked. However, 'the whole world will emerge from the war better far its purifying fires, he said, and would be exalted by the spirit of self sacrifice that everyone will find it necessary to make.

Poloshian, suffering from a ner- shock at the General hospital, unable to appear. Lawyer Irving Rachlin appeared for the defense. Moses Poloshian testified that his in jail Hickey and party were sitting in a seat in the rear of the men, who annoyed his year old baby by pulling its hand until the child cried. He protested with the result that he and his brather were beaten. He said Boyle called him a “nigger” and struck him in the eye. His wife fainted and had to be taken to the hospital, when the car reached the center.

Michael Dishue and Peter Zigamou- ski, charged with assaulting; each other, presented a case involfing a domestic scandal to the court. Joe Chaplin, who claimed no relationship to thesfamaus Charles, but-acted like him, told the court that Mike was the boarding boss and Peter was a boarder. He also said that the trouble began when Peter informed the boarding boss that he had as much right to his wife as he had. The bass became angry at this and soon after put his finger in Peter's mouth, where- upon Peter bit it and Mike scratched Peter’s face. Chaplin said that he separated the fighting men. He also said that although Mike has two chil- dren, Peter says ane of them is his child, which makes the boarding boss angry. Peter was fined $10 but the boarding boss, Mike, was discharged. Lawyer A. A, Greenberg appeared for Dishue. Fight Over Hat. Because Hogu Carlson did not have his hat on straight Saturday night Rosarie Bergeron and Charles Allen are said to have assaulted him.

Have you a son or kinsman who has voluntarily enlisted some branch of Uncle Sam's military serv- ice? 1f so, fill out the above blank and send it in to the Editor of the Herald at once! The purpose of taking this step is of two-fold importance. First, it will determine whether the number of en- listments credited to the city of Britain is authentic and secondly in the town farm he would be sent to Middletown. Kicked Little Boy. Peter Scmizys was charged with kicking a neighbor’s three-year-old boy, who went to visit him on Fri- day night. Policeman Crowley tes- tified that the boy carried three black and blue marks. A fine of $7 was imposed. Other Cases. Frank Thomas, a chauffeur for the Cremo Brewing Company, was in court charged with a violation of the automobile traffic law by failing to indicate the direction in which he in- tended to turn his truck. The viola- tion is said to have occurred on Hartford avenue, Saturday afternoon. He was allowed to go With a warning. James Hayes was charged with va- grancy and begging.

Morris Horwitz was fined $5 with- out costs for riding a bicycle on the sidewalk on Lafayette street. EMMONS PRAISES POLICE. Local Business Man Causes Sensation in Hartford Police Court. Edward C. Emmons, well known cafe owner, created a sensation in the Hartford police court Saturday morning when, on being arraigned before Judge Frank Pollotti for driv- ing his machine too fast on Farm- ington avenue, instead of protesting his innocence, he explained the cir- cumstances and then proceeded to put in a good word for the police- man who had arrested him. Mr. Em- mons told the court it was a pleasure to respond in court to the summons of a policeman who had treated him with the courtesy that the Hartford bluecoat had shown. “Judgment suspended,” sald Judge Palati. Now both the policeman and Mr Emmons are convinced that courtesy pays. will track furnish & means of keeping of our boys at the front. It has been stated that men from this city have gone to other cities about the state and enlisted in vari- ous branches of the service. This is perfectly legitimate; but when it is known that these enlistments were not credited as coming from New Britain and that no official recogni- tion of it can be seen in New Brit- ain's credit column folk here must feel the injustice of it all. YES, IT WAS HOT, NO ONE DENIES IT | But There Wasn't a Chance For Dis- pute on That Point All Day Sunday. Dame Nature; which has shed tears almost continually since Spring made her 1917 debut, took a cruel fling at her sons and daughters yesterday and ordered Mr. Sol, the well known and popular janitor of the world, to turn on the heat. Like the average tenant, the public expressed its displeasure and immediately made a rush for the seashore, the country—and the ice cream and soda stand Everyone, strange to say, agreed on one thing yesterday—it was hot. A careful combing of Main street failed to find & man, woman or child who would disagree with this. Heat was the main subjects and the more they talked about it the more heated they became. The people stated that it was hot and the conductors on the trolley cars insisted it was hot. Pa- trons of the Arch street line felt the heat more than others because they were forced to ride part of the time in a closed car, which shunted back and forth between Central Park and the end of the line and which did not re- lieve the feelings of those who were cooped up inside. With a few more big business dayvs like Sunday, the Connecticut Company should be enabled to buy another open trolley and give the riding public in the southwestern section of the city a , chance to live as long as their more fortunate brethren in other parts. The wise man spent the day at home figuring out his chances of rais- ing blisters on his hands in thefront | line trenches. One ingenious indi- vidual, who should apply his talents to the construction of a U-boat de- stroyer, attached the lawn sprinkler to the bath room faucet, hopped into the tub with a Sunday newspaper and a cigar, dragged the device in after him and told friend wife to turn on the cooling strexm from Shuttle Mead- ow. Even Edison couldn’t beat that. Another inventive wonder, whose name is withheld as a military secret because the Kaiser might want to know it, secured a hook on explora- tlons in the polar regions, sneaked in- to an ice house on the outskirts of the city and passed the day in blissful ignorance that his fellow mortals were slowly being reduced to a state of liquefaction. Yes, it was hot. MAYOR NAMES RUSSELL. Today Mayor George A. Quigley of- ficially appointed Frederick C.
