Special interest centers about this session because of the entrance of the United States into the world war since the last camp-meeting was held a year ago. The calling of young men to do military duty is also caus- ing considerable stir among Advent- ists. As a denomination the Advent- ists are opposed to war in any form. The secretary of war has béen noti- fied of the stand of the members and exemption from enforced military duty for its young men has. been asked on the ground that they can- not conscientiously approve taking the sword in carnal warfare. Many of the leaders of the denom- ination believe this war to be the bat- tle of Armagedon prophesied to take place at the end of the world. Some frankly state that no nation will be successful in overcoming their en- emies in this present war and that the only peace which the world can ; hope to have will be permanently es- tablished in the second coming of Christ and the setting up.of the king- dom of God, which means the burn. ing ' up of this world and all its wicked works and people, resurrection and immortality to dead and living be- ljevers, “ Friday August 17 will be observed as Temperance Day.

Coniff of 100 Lincoln street, this city, is registered today at the Massachuetts Institute of Tech- nology for special work in naval aero- nautics, a government school for which has just been opened at the in- stitute. Mr. Coniff is one of 50 naval cadets in his group, other groups of equal size being due to register each week for about six weeks, as assigned by the navy. The courses will extend over eight weeks under the naval and technology instructors, and will include naval specialties and work in mechanical and naval engineering. The former will include navy regulations, naviga- tion, seamanship, and boat drill un- der Lieutenant McKetterick and his petty naval officers, while the infantry drill, signalling and mechanical work will be under the technology men. The commanding officer of the school is Lieut. E, H, McKitterick, U. S. N., and his petty officers are ‘E. E. Reber, chief boatswain’s mate; W. E. Carlton and A. Ward, chief gunner's mates; and J. M. Bennett, chief quartermaster’s mate. The aca- demic faculty is headed by Prof. C, H. Peabody, ' director of the department of Naval Architecture at Tech. The military training including evolutions and drill on Tech’s superb athletic field, is under the charge of Leicester F. Hamilton, ’14, assistant in Military Science at the institute and cadet Captain Harold E. Collins, ’17, who has been in company command in the military camp of the juniors now just closed. The calisthenics which form an important part of the work will be cared for by the regular staff of Technology in Physical Training, Frank M. Kanaly directing. The young men are bearthed in one of the students’ drawing rooms in the educational building and shortly will be placed in the Walker Memorial, the all-Technology clubhouse now ap- proaching completion. They are fed in the Institute cafeteria, which is now caring for a thousand persons at each meal, under the direction of Mrs, Helen E. McLean. The spacious class rooms and laboratories are at the disposal of the naval aviators, in- cluding the famous wind tunnel six feet square in section and the supple- mentary balance. For boat practice, the situation of the institute on the bank of the Charles river basin, will afford an opportunity for practice on enclosed water of some square mile area. The Massachusetts Institute Technology has already had in opera- tion a cadet school for military aero- nautics for a couple of months, and in the establishment of the present one for naval aeronauts has patterned along similar lines. The military men, however, spend the first three weeks in nothing but military drill. Here the naval aviators differ, since they begin theoretical work imme- diately on entering the school. There will be eight weeks of inten- sive study at the Institute and'then the young men will be sent to some of the naval flying schools and after practice in the air at them will be ready for service as assistants in air- planes of one kind or another. The cadet school of Naval Aeronau- tics is the eleventh special school un- dertaken by the institute since May to prepare its students and other stu- dents sent to it by the government for work in relation to the war. Mr. Coniff is a graduate of the New | Britaln High school. Anthony Dorbuck has returned from St. Louis, where he underwent a se- ries of operations for stomach trou- ble and appendicitis. <“Buy an Indiana truck.—advt. of ! PROF. EDWARD M. BOOTH. P T i Former New Britain Man Dies Near Meréer, Wisconsin. On the evening of Aug. 2 Prof. Ed- ward M. Booth died suddenly of heart trouble in a camp near Mercer, Wis., where he’'was spending his annual vacation. He was born, in Torrington, Conn., Jan. 26, 1840, the ninth of the 12 children of Elisha and Elvira Booth. His boyhood was passed in New Britain, and he will De favorably remembered by many, old friends here. He was graduated from Yale in the “famous class of '63” and he and the late John H. Peck, for many years principal of the New Britain High school, were charter members of the original Yale Glee club. Soon after graduation he made a specialty of voice culture and elocu- tion, teaching for several years in various schools in Chicago and later for six years holfing the position of professor of elocution in the State University of Iowa, where ' he fre- quently supplemented his work by giving Shakesperian readings and dramatic and humorous recitals as he possessed . histrionic talents of a very high order. The last 27 years of his life were spent as professor of elocution in McCormick Theological seminary of Chicago, whose hundreds of students preachers and 'public speakers will ever hold “Father Booth” in lovng. This notice will also recall to his old friends in Connecticut his genial personality, his beautiful voice and his staunch ‘manliness of character. He_ united with the First Church of New Britain in ‘1857 -He was twice :mar- ried, first in 1866 to Miss Susan May Martyn of Attleboro, Mass., who bore him one daughter and died 1870, and {in 1874 to Miss Margaret Adelia Mc- Nair of Chicago, who bore him three sons, the youngest of whom, Oliver Stanley Booth, died at the age 'of eight. He is survived by his wife and | three children—Miss May M. Booth of this city and Lester and Edward Booth of Chicago. |Surprised at ‘Resignation’ of Which He Read in Paper | London, Aug. 14—Arthur Hender- son, the labor leader who on Satur- | day resigned from the war cabinet, bin which he had been a minister | without iportfolio, made late yesterday his. expected statement in the house | of commons in defense of his atti- | tude before the'labor conference last | Friday, when he favored sending del- egates to the International Socialist Congress at Stockholm. | During the session Prime Minister | Lloyd George reiterated the govern- { ment’'s position. Read of “Resignation” in Gazette. Mr. Henderson, in opening his ad- dress, complained of the ‘unprece- | dented press campaign agalnst my- self and the difficulty, if not the im- 1 possibility, of finding a precedent in history® for the conduct pursued by the prime minister and his colleagues in regard to the case.” “The press campaign,” Mr. Hender- son continued, “was so pperfected that the first I knew that my resignation had been accepted was through the Pall Mall Gazette. After the decision of the labor conference on Friday I interviewed the prime minister, who | made clear that my retaining the secretaryship of the labor party was ipcompatible with my remaining in the war council. When I came to a choice only one course was mine, “If the full story in regard to the Stockholm conference must be told, in the national interest it should not be told now, and I am content to join the list of ex-ministers who are awalting the opportunity to state the full facts of their acses without preju- dice to the natlonal interests, “On my return from Russia I pro- l now scattered all over the world as | minister informing him of my iposi- HENDERSON MAKES | HIS ATTITUDE PLAIN | to withhold any information he 4, 1017, $35 SUITS FOR $17 .90 Sounds odd in these days of scarcity but the price nearly in hal styles.

It being the decision of the labor party that I should go, I wired the prime tion, and I could make this comment, that the prime minister and his col- leagues who issued & document to the press charging me with withholding information ahont the conference, have been convicted before the house of intimating that the whole arrange- ments for the trip to Paris were made without their knowledge.” Premier Interrupts. Premier Lloyd (eorge interrupted to say:. “I would like to ask my honorable friend what he means by saying that he sent a wire to me at Paris stating his position. Does he mean to sug- gest that he wired me that a decision had been taken 'by the labor party executive? The only message I re- ceived was one stating that he was coming to Paris -with four Russian delegates. There was nothing of the decision of the labor party.” Mr. Henderson dealt exhaustively with the charge that he had broken faith in failing to give the telegram of the Russian premier to the confer- enice. He pointed out that he could not, when speaking as Secretary of the Labor Party, quote a government ; telegram, but said he had told the conference that the new Russian gov- ernment had modified its old position. His least intention, he asserted, was was legally entitled to give. Becomes Mysterious. The speaker concluded by ing that he had been forced cuss the question because of aspersions against his honor by the press, but that he had not told the full story of the Stockholm business and did not intend to, because he be- lleved it highly inadvisable in the nation’s interest at this moment. He urged the house not to debate the subject, in view of the evidence of unrest in the country and the dif- ficulties he believes the goyvernment will have to face before the Stock»l holm question is finally disposed of. | He had endeavored ever since the war began,.occasionally at great risk in the ranks of his own movement to do only what he thought would lead to a victory for the Allied cause and for a lasting, honorable and, he hoped, a people’s peace. Premier Lloyd George was received with cheerjng when he said that whatever people might think about assert- to dis- serfous should go, but no member government. Mr. Lloyd George replied that he hud said he would not consent to Mr. Henderson or any delegates repre- senting Great Britain to attend - the Stockholm conference. R Mr. Henderson insisted that his statement was in strict harmony with his position. ‘‘After the decision had been taken with regard to my visit to Paris,” he went on, “I intimated that to the prime minister and that was the sub- Jject of a special cabinet meeting.” SPAIN UNDER MARTIAL LAW ~ Strike Is Spreading and Even Union of the Newspapers Will Not Publish Today —Capital Reported Quiet. S Madrid, Aug. 14.—The whole of Spain has been placed under mar- tial law following disorders resulting from the general strike, which is spreading. This decision was reached at a meeting of the ‘cabinet which devoted its entire time to a consid- eration of the strike. Instructions were sent to military authorities who have been given full control. Dis-™ turbances which occurred at various places haye been stopped by military forces. By The strike which was began by the railroad employes has even affected the newspapers here and only those which have non-unionist staffs will appear tonight.

He was not sure that it was neces- sary to say more than to repeat the statement he (the premier) had made in the ptess.
