The cashier of a national bank in Wayne county, N. Y., has agreed to mct as secretary-treasurer of the lo- cal association and expresses the be- lief that in his particular locality there are many who might be ben- efited through the federal land bank. Another bank rwrites, “We stand ready at any time to assist your bank . In placing loans or organizing this section.” That the bankers are ac- tually going about the business of forming National Farm Loan asso- ciations is plain from the words of the vice president of a prominent Trust company, “We are taking the matter up with several of the lead- ing farmers In this locality and _would be pleased to go ahead and endeavor to form an organization.” And a National Pank in New York comes forward with this significant statement, “We beg to assure you of our willingness to co-operate with the farmers in this locality in the tormation of National Farm Land as- sociations, and will render them every assistance in our power in furthering their efforts along such lines.” A banker from western New York feels that the establishment of a Na- tional Farm Loan Association in his country is of sufficient moment to justify his personally visiting the headquarters of the Federal Land Bank at Springfield. He writes, “We are anxious to get a thorough know!- edge of the proposition.” ' President Robinson of the Federal Land Bank expresses himseif as be- ing well pleased with the prompt re- sponse of the banks. He says, “The cordial tone of the replies to our re- cent appeal to the bankers of this dis- trict to lend a hand to the federal farm loan movement is gratifying. Most of them want to know more ‘about the system. Many are in hearty accord with its principles and anxious that the farmers of their communities shall receive its benefits. The nature of their inquiries indicates that they realize what the flowing in of thousands of dollars in loans will mean to their communities. 1 feel that close and sympathetic co-opera- tion by the farmer, local bank and ‘ Federal land Bunk, will profit each and all.” President Robinson summarizes the Land Bank's progress thus: “We have on file from forty national farm loan associations, some 700 applications for loans, aggregating two millians of dol- lars. Bight national farm loan asso- riations have been chartered by the federal farm loan board, and recom- mendations concerning four more are now in Washington pending approval. Applicants regularly are recetving checks for the amounts of their loans. Business was never beteter.” Buy an Indiana truck.—advt. NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, JULY 30, 1917. MUST CRUSH KAISER German Cupidity Will Seize on America If Allies Lose War Sacket Harbor, N. Y. July 30.— Secretary of State Lansing bitterly as- sailed the military clique at Berlin in an address delivered to the 1,600 candidates for reserve commissions at Madison Baracks last night. He de- clared that “the independence of no nation is safe, the liberty of no in- dividual is sure, until the military despotism which now holds the Ger- man people in the hollow of its hand has been made impotent and harm- less forever . “Appeals to justice, to moral obli- gation, to honor, no longer avail with such a power,” said Mr. Lansing. He contended that “there is but one way to restore peace to the world, and that is by overcoming the physical might of German imperialism by force of arms. “For its own safety as well as for the cause of human liberty this great republic is marshalling its armies and preparing with all its vigor to aid in ridding Germany as well as the world of the most ambitious and un- principled autocracy which has ever arisen to stay the wheels of progress and imperial Christian civilization,” the secretary said. t was the policy of those who plotted and made ready for the time to accomplish the desire of the Ger- man rulers ‘to lull into false security the great nations which they intended to subdue so that when the storm broke they would be unprepared. But democracy no longer sleeps. It is fully awake to the menace which threatens it. “The American people, trustful and {riendly, werle reluctant to ‘believe that imperialism again threatened the peace and liberty of the world. Con- viction came to them at last, and to- day the American nation has arrayed itself with the other democracies of the earth against a genius of evil which broods over the destinies of central Europe. With lofty purpose, with patriotic fervor, with intense earnestness, the American democracy has drawn the sword which will not be sheathed until the faces of abso- lutism go down defeated and broken.” The Address. Secretary Lansing’s address follows: “It is an opportunity which I great- ly appreciate to be here this evening and to say a few words to you about the great enterprise in which you are to be participants. There are so many viewpoints, that it is hard to know how to deal with the subject in a way that will appeal to the greatest num- ber. “First, we must all realize that we are living in the most momentous time in all history, in a time when the lives and destinies of nations are in the balance, when the civilization which has taken centuries to build, may crumble before the terrible storm which is sweeping over Europe. We are not only living in this critical period, but we, as a nation, have be- come a participant in the struggle. Having cast our lot on the side of the powers allied against the imperial government we will put behind our decision the full power and the re- sources of the republic. We intend to win in this mighty conflict ,and we will win because our cause is the cause of justice and right and of humanity, “I wonder how many of us compre- hend what the outcome of this war rulers of Germany. Doubt remained no longer. In the light of events we could read the past and see that for a quarter of a century the absorbing ambitions of the military oligarchy, which was the master of the German Empire, was for world-domain. Every agency in the fields of commerce, in- dustry, sclence and diplomacy had been directed by the German Govern- ment to this supreme end. Philoso- phers and preachers taught that the destiny of Germany was to rule the world, thus preparing the mind of the German people for the time when the mighty engine which the ' German Government had constructed should crush all opposition and the German Emperor should rule supreme. “For nearly three years we have watched the conduct of the Imeprial Government and we have learned more and more of the character of that Government and of its aims. We came very slowly to a realizing sense that not only was the freedom of the BEuropean nations at stake. but that liberty throughout the world was threatened by the powerful autocracy which was seeking to gratify its vast ambition. “Not impulsively, but with delibera- tlon, the American people reached the : only decision which was possible from the stand point of their national safe- tv. Congress declared that a state of war existed between the United States and the Imperial Government of Ger- many, and this country united with the other liberal nations of the earth to crush the nower which sought to erect on the ruing of democracy a world empire greater than that of Greece or Rome or the Caliphs. Saving World for Democracy. “The president has said, with won- derful ability which he has to express aptly a great thought in a single phrase, that ‘the world must be made safe for democracy.’ In that thought there is more than the establishment of liberty and self-government for all nations; there is in it the hope of enduring peace. “I do not know in the annals of history an instance where a people, with truly democratic institutions, have permitted their government to wage a war of aggression, a war of conquest, Faithful to their treaties, sympathetic with others seeking self-development,” real democracies, whether monarchial or republican’ in their forms of government, desire peace with their neighbors and with all mankind. “Were every people on earth able to express their will there would be no wars of aggression, and, if there were no wars of aggression, then there would be no wars, and lasting peace would come to this earth. The only way that a people can express their will is through democratic insti- tutions, Therefore, when the world is made safe for democracy, when that great principle prevails, uni- versal peace will be an accomplished fact. o nation or people will benefit more than the United States when the time comes. But it has not yet come. A great people, ruled in thought and word as well as in deed by the most sinister government of modern times, is straining every nerve to supplant democracy by the autocracy which they have been taught to worship. “When will the German people awaken to the truth? When will they arise in their might and cast off the yoke and become their own masters? 1 fear that it will not be until the physical might of. the united democracies of the world has destrqyed forever the evil ambitions of the military rulers of Germany and liberty triumphs over its arch-enemy. “And yet, in spite of these truths which have been brought to light in these last three years, I wonder how many Americans feel that our democ- racy is in peril, that our liberty needs protection, that the United States is in means to mankind, or to bring it nearer to each one of us, what it means to our country. I sometimes think that there prevail very errone- ous impressions as to the reasons why we entered the war, not the immediate Teasons, but the deep underlying reasons which affect the life and future of the United States and of all other liberty-loving nations through- out the world. “Of course the immediate cause of our war against Germany was the an- nounced purpose of the German gov- ernment to break its promises as to indiscriminate submarine warfare and the subsequent renewal of that ruth- less method of destructton with in- creased vigor and brutalfity. “While this cause was in itself suffi- cient to force us to enter the war if we would preserve our self-respect, the German government's deliberate breach of faith and its utter disregard of right and life had a far deeper meaning, a meaning had been grow- ing more evident as the war had pro- gressed and which needed but this act of perfidy to bring it home to all thinking Americans. The evil charac- ter of the German government is laid bare befare the world. We know now that that Government 18 inspired with ambition which menace human liberty and that to gain its end it dioes not hesitate to break faith, to violate the most sacred rights, or to perpetrate intolerable acts of inhumanity. Proof of German Perfidy. “It needed but the words reported to have been uttered by the German Chancellor to complete the picture of the character of his government when he announced that the only reason why the intensified submarine campaign was delayed untll February last was that sufficlent submarines could not be built before that time to make the attacks on commerce effi- cient. Do you realize that this means if it means anything, that the promis- es to refrain from brutal submarine warfare which Germany has made to the United States, were never intend- ed to be kept, that they were only made in order to gain time in which to build more submarines, and that when the time came to act the Ger- man promises were unhesitatingly torn to pleces like other ‘scraps of paper’? “Tt is this disclosure of the charac- ter of the Imperial German Govern- ment which is the underlying cause of our entry into the war. We had doubted, or at least many Americans had doubted the evil purposes of the real danger from the maglinant forces which are seeking to impose their will upon the world, as they have upon Germany and her deceived allies. “Let us understand once for all that this is no war to establish an abstract principle of right. It is a war in which the future of the United States is at stake. If any among you have the idea that we are fighting others’ bat- tles and not our own, the sooner he gets away from that idea the better it will be for him, the better it will be for all of us. America Next On List. “Imagine Germany victor in rope pecause the United States mained neutral. Who, then, think you, would be the next victim of those who are seeking to be masters of the whole earth? Would not this country ‘with its enormous wealth arouse the cupidity of an impover- ished, though triumphant, Germany? Would not this democracy be the only obstacle between the autocratic rulers of Germany and their supreme ambition? Do you think that they would withhold their hand from so rich a prize? “Let me then ask you, would it be easier or wiser for this country single- Eu- re- handed to resist a German Empire flushed with victory and with great armies and navies at its command than to unite with the brave enemies of that empire in ending now and for all time this menace to our future? “Primarily, then, every man who crosses the ocean to fight on foreign soil against the armies of the German Emperor goes forth to fight for his country and for the preservation of those things for which our forefath- ers were willing to die. To those who thus offer themselves we owe the same debt that we owe to those men who in the past fought on American soil in the cause ot liberty. No, not the same debt, but a greater one. It calls for more patriotism, more self- denial, and a truer vision to wage war on distant shores than to repel an in- vader or defend one’s home. “I therefore congratulate you, young men, in your choice of service. You have done a splendid thing. You have carned already the gratitude of your countrymen and of generations of Americans to come. Your battleflags will become the cherished trophies of a nation which will never forget those who bore them in the cause of liber- ty. “I know that some among you may consider the idea that Germany would attack us if she won this war to be improbable; but let him who doubts remember that the improbable, yes, the impossible, has been happening in this war from the beginning. If you had been told prior to August, 1914, that the German Government would | disregard its solemn treaties and send its armies into Belgium, would want- only burn Louvain, would murder de- fenseless people, would exort ransoms from conquered citles, would carry away men and women into slavery, would, like Vandals of old, destroy some of history’s most cherished monuments, and would with malicious purpose lay waste the fairest fields of France and Belgium, you would have indignantly denied the possibility ! You would have exclaimed that Ger- | mans, lovers of art and learning, would never permit such foul deeds. { Today you know that the unbelievable has happened, that all these crimes have been committed, not under the 'impulse .of passion, but under official j orders. Iron Crosses for Murderers. 1 “Again, if you had been told before the war that German submarine com- manders would sink peaceful vessels of commerce and send to sudden death | men, women, and little children, you { would have declared such scientific brutality to be impossible. Or, if you had been told that German aviators would fly over thickly populated cities scattering missles of death and de- struction, with no other purpose than to terrorize the innocent inhabitants, you would have denounced the very thought as unworthy of beliet and as a calumny upon German honor. Yet, God help us, these things have come to pass, and Iron Crosses have rewarded the perpetrators. “But there is more, far more, which might be added to this record of un- believeable things which the German government has done. I only need to mention the attempt of the foreign office at Berlin to bribe Mexico to make war upon us by promising her American territory. It was only one of many intrigues which the German government was carrying on in many lands. Spies and conspirators were sent throughout the world. Civil dis- cord was encouraged to weaken the potential strength of nations which might be obstacles to the lust of Ger- many's rulers for world mastery. Those of German blood who owed al- legiance to other countries were ap- pealed to to support the Fatherland, which beloved name masked the mili- tary clique at Berlin. “Some day I hope that the whole tale may be told. It will be an estounding tale, indeed. But enough has been told so that there no longer remains the shadow of a doubt as to the character of Germany’s rulers, of their amazing ambition for world em- pire and of their intense hatred for democracy. “The day has gone by when we can measure possibilities by past expe- riences, or when we believe that any physical obstacle is so great or any moral influence is so potent as to cause the German autocracy to abandon its mad purpose of world conquest. “It was the policy of those, who plotted and made ready for the time to accomplish the desire of the Ger- man government to lull into false se- curity the great nations which they in- tended to subdue, so that when the storm broke they would be unpre- pared. How well they succeeded you know. But democracy no longer sleeps. It is fully awake to the men- ace which threatens it. The Ameri- can people, trustful and friendly, were reluctant to believe that im- perialism again threatened the peace and liberty of the world. Conviction came to them at last and with it prompt action. The American nation arrayed itself with the other great democracies of the earth against the genius of evil which broods over the destinies of Central Europe. America’s Inspiration. “No thought of material gain and no thought of material loss impelled thi¢ action. Inspired by the highest motives American manhood prepared to risk all for the right. I am proud of my country. I am proud of my countrymen. [ am proud of our na- tional character. With lofty purpose, with patriotic fervor, with intense earnestness, the Americai democracy has drawn the sword, which it will not sheathe until the baneful forces of absolutism go down defeated and broken. “Who can longer doubt—and there have been many who have doubted in these critical days—the power of that eternal spirit of freedom which lives in every true American heart? “My friends, I am firmly convinced that the independence of no nation is safe, that the liberty of no individ- ual is sure, until the military despot- ism, which holds the German people in the hollow of its hand, has been made important and harmless for- ever. Appeals to justice, to moral obligation to honor, no longer avail with such a power. There is but one and that is by overcoming the physi- cal might of German imperialism by force of arms. “For its own safety, as well as for the cause of human liberty, this great republic is marshalling its armies and preparing with all its vigor to aid in ridding Germany, as well as the world, of the most ambitious and most unprincipled autocracy which has arisen to stay the wheels of pro- gress and imperil Christian clviliza- tion. “It is to this great cause you, who are present here tonight, like thou- sands of other loyal Americans, have dedicated yourselves. Tpon each one of you much depends. You are going forth into forelgn lands, not only guardians of the flag of your coun- try and of the liberties of vour countrymen, but as guardians of the nationul honor of the United States Americun character will be judged by vour conduct. Amerfcan spirit by vour deeds. As you maintain your- selves courageously and honorably, so will vou bring glory to the flag which we all love as the emblem of our national unity and independence. “I know that {t is unnecessary to emphasize the responsibilities which will rest upon you as you lead the men under your command. To their officers they will look for guidancs and example, not only in the battle | but in the camp and on the Your responsibilities line, march. | forth his energies will be forgotten in way to restore peace to the world | are | great. As you meet them so your services be measured by country. “It is in the toil and danger of so great an adventure as you are soon to experience that a man’s true char- acter will become manifest. He will | be brought face to face with the real- ities. The little things which once engrossed his thought and called will your the stern event of his new life. The sternness of it-all will not deprive him of the satisfaction which comes from doing his best. As he found gratification and joy in the peaceful pursuits of the old life, so will he find a deeper gratification and a greater joy in serving his country loyally and | doing his part in moulding the future. ““And when your task is completed, when the grim days of battle are over, and you return once more to the quiet life of your profession or occupation. which you have so gener- ously abandoned at your country's call, you will find in the gratitude of your countrymen an ample re- ward for the great sacrifice which you have made. “If enthusiasm and ardor can make success sure, then we, Americans, have no cause for anxiety, no reason to doubt the outcome of the conflict. But enthusiasm and ardor are not all; they must be founded on a profound- ed conviction of the righteousness of your cause and on an implicit faith that the God of battles will strength- en the arm of him who fights for the right. “In the times of stress and peri], when a man stands face to face with death in its most terrible forms, God will not desert him who puts his trust in Him. It is at such a time that the eternal verities will be dis- closed. - It is then when you realize that existence is more than this life and that over our destinies watches an all-powerful and compassionate God, you will stand amidst the storm of battle unflinching and unafraid.

New York, July 30.—Seventeen- vear-old Frank Varley, who lived with his parents at No. 176 Franklin Ave., Brooklyn, was shot in the back and instantly killed yesterday afternoon by Patrolman Orrin Monahan, of the Grand avenue station. The shooting took place in a vacant lot on St. John’s place between Franklin and Classon avenues, Following the signing of affidavits of persons who saw the killing, Coroner Wagner ordered Monahan's arrest on the charge of homicide. The policeman was locked up. Young Varley with several other boys about his own age went to the vacant lot shortly after ten o’clock yvesterday monrning. The police re- cently have received many complaints about crap games in the vicinity, and two weeks ago Monahan was as- signed to break them up. He was permitted to go about in citizen’s clothes. Witnesses say Monahan reached the lot in an automobile. As he ap- proached, the boys scattered and ran, Varley was one of the last to start, and was not more than thirty feet from the policeman when he was shot, the bullet piercing the heart. EXPANDING CLOCK BUSINESS New Haven Firm Hears Opportunity Knocking at Door. New Haven, July 30.—“Now that Germany has been isolated, the world is dependent almost entirely upon the United States for its supplies of time-pieces,” sald Walter Camp, president of the New Haven Clock company, today when asked why his company was expanding. “The large German factories in the Black Forest tegion and elsewhere formerly supplied Russia, the Scan- dinavian countries, many of the Brit- ish dependencies, like India and Aus- tralia, as well as Great Britain and Canada with clocks. ‘Now that these sources have been cut off, the de- mand upon factories here has been increased enormously, and manufac- turing facilities have proved inade- quate to meet this demand in con- junction with the domestic need for clocks and low priced watches. “As time-pieces have become a necessity of life in every country, it was essential that this country in- crease its productive capacity as rap- idly as possible, and this country only be accomplished by an immediate in- crease in capitalization. It seems a strange coincidence that this situation should have developed in the year when the New Haven Clock company, a business started by Chauncey Jer- ome, was celebrating its hundredth anniversary. the business, now a cen- tury old, has grown steadily until its products are known throughout the world, but in all these vears there never before were such extraordinary demands upon our manufacturing facilities. With the capital raised by the fssuance of preferred stock, which will be underwritten by the banking liouse of George H. Burr & Company, production will be pushed as rapidly as consistent with the maintenance of the high standard of work which has always characterized the goods turned out in this factory.” BECKETT ENLISTS IN CANADA.
