Hartford Theological seminary is sending, out, in the name of the Pas- toral Unjon and the Hartford Semi- nary Foundation, an invitation for a series of meetings for spiritual fellow- ship, to be held Monday and Tues- day, September 17 and 18, at Hosmer hall, Broad street. The letter of invitation shows that the purpose of these meetings i3 to secure a time for spiritual fellowship | in the intellectual life as well as in meditation and prayer. Such a gath- ering can hardly fail to be -of the highest value to those who attend it and to the churches whose pastors come under its inspiration. Professor Harry Emerson Fosdick, D. D, who is to lead the meetings, is one of the ablest and most de- voted of the younger ministers of the day. His brief volume on “The Meaning of Prayer” is a master- piece for its intellectual quality, as well as its spiritual power. Many churches in this neighborhood have been usipg this book in their devo- tional meetings. Through its interest in the vital life of the churches, and its devotion to their work, this invitation has been sent not only to the alumni of the seminary and to the members of the Pastoral union, but to the pastors of all denominations in northern Con- | necticut, and beyond the line into Western Massachusetts. At any time such a gathering would make for the I enriching of the religious life and the N quickening of pastoral and ministerial |serv1ce, but such vitalizing of life | and service is of more than ordinary value at the present time, in the face of the solemn problems which con- !{ front the nation and ‘the church, and { which every thoughtful man must feel. on their return will make their home ! in this city.

SENTENCED TO FRANCE. Bigamist Prefers Battlefield to Prison Term. New York, Aug. 15.—When Private Kenneth Shannon of Battesy C, New Jersey Field Artillery, pleaded guilty to bigamy yestrday in general sessions, Judge Mulqueen asked wife No. 2 whether he should be sent to prison or to France. “To France,” she replied, and Shannon was ordered to be on his way. ik Wife No. 1 was absent.

J., who was killed December 18, 1915, while attempting an arrest. Just before he left for the Mexican border with his regiment young Shannon married Miss Dorothy E.

It had been awaited with extreme interest in connection with the vote in the Cham- ber, August 2, when the socialists efther voted against the government or abstained from voting. Mr. Thomas began by admitting that “three years of war have mnot yet glven France all the results which the efforts of its soldiers and work- ers deserve.” Continuing Mr. Thomas said: “Since the beginning of the year | we have had hours of great hope; the Russian revolution being deliv- ered at a moment when it might have been feared that Czarism was making a separate peace, and the entry in the war of the great pacifist Ameri- can republic which could hasten the hour of victory and peace. “We have also undergone fresh trials. Our offensive of April 16, while not the check it had been rep- resented to be, had not given the strategic results we had a right to expect. The Russian offensive, be- ginning well, was stopped by Russian weakness. The Anglo-French made advances in Flanders but an im- mediate result can not be expected from such tactical successes. Some of our comrades and also a part of public opinion feel apprehensive. Some ask if it is possible to anticipate a military victory and if it is not possible to arrive at a just peace mqre rapidly by some other means.” Turning to the Stockholm question M. -Thomas admitted the difficulty, while French and German soldiers are killing each other at the front, for French socialists to meet the Ger- man soclalists and-discuss in safety conditions of peace. He dwelt length- ily on the widespread sentiment he found ‘during his visit te Russia against imperialism aims, even among simple soldiers. Such senti- ment made it advisable for the French to go to Stockholm to express France’s anti-imperialism. The declaration of the German majority socialists that Alsace-Lor- raine must remain German made thelr presence at Stockholm impos- sible. “Some of our soclalists think”, continued Mr. Thomas, “that by going to Stockholm we could hasten the hour of peace. The conference will not and cannot bring immediate peace. To combat this baleful idea we could bring all our forces to bring pressure to bear on our gov- ernment, but the German socialists would be powerless to exercise any on theirs and we should be dupes.” Mr. Thomas then read the decisions reached to attend the conference, saying they satisfled them. “When the socialist party after its sacrifices to the national defense dur- ing three years’ war declares it wishes to go to a conference like that at Stockholm,” Mr. Thomas said “it has a right to full confidence. No one has a right to fear it may betray or serve ill the cause of the country when it wishes to perform what is essentially an act of national de- fense.” As regards the opportuneness of the conference Mr. Thomas pointed out that although Premier Kerensky and the Russian government had ceased to consider tthe coniference desirable, Mr. Skobeleff, Russian min- ister of labor and the Council of Workmen’s and Soldiers’ . delegates still thought it desirable. Discussing France’s general policy which include the setting free of every ‘European—Alsatian, Pole, Czech, Jugo-Slav—be alluded to the reserve he at times had to make in the cabinet “against certain ambigu- ous formulas which might, strictly speaking, seem Infected by imperial- ism. ltching Burning Eczema in Blisters On Little Boy Healed by Cuticura ‘‘My little boy broke out with eczema on his hands apd face when about two orthree monthsold.

The method of drying fruits and vegetables will be employved ex- tensively. The dryer which has been secured i located at Murry's brick yard in Berlin, just one minute’s walk from the trolley line. The cost of drying the fruits and - vegetables will be a minimum for the' only ex- penses that will be incurred are the cost of coaol and the man to attend to the drying process. To transport the vegetables the committee is pre- pared to help the people of New Brit- ain through the generous offer of John Pinches of two of his. trucks. If the people do not want to have their goods taken down in the trucks free of charge they may take them down in the trolley which is very convenient. The purpose of the canning com- mittee is to determine whether the people want dried fruits and veg- etables during the winter. The com- mittee wishes to co-operate with the housewives of all nationalities in this city in drying their fruits and veg- etables. Headquarters have been es- tablished in the City hall, and a tel- ephone has been installed. Ring 2210 for all information. When the committee meets tonight a resolution will be drawn up asking the permis- sion of the mayor to use the side- walk around the central park for the 'purposes of exhibition of the fruits and vegetables by the produce dealers from 6 until 10 in the morning. BURGLARS’ BONDS PLAGED AT $3,000 Men Who Escaped From Re- formatory Bound Over Kazek Mzusky and Joseph Em- manuel were bound over to the Sep- tember term of the superior . court under bonds of $3,000 by Judge John H. Kirkham in the police court this morning. The two men were charged with entering the H. L. Platt place at 530 Lincoln street at 2 o’clock yes- terday morning and stealing a quan- tity of clothing, shoes, a pair of opera glasses, a pocket knife and $2 be- longing to William Clark, the occu- pant of the house. Both pleaded guilty to the charge preferred. De- tective A. J. Richardson testified that H. L. Platt complained yesterday that his place had been entered during the night. The detective investi- gated and found that the house had been entered through the cellar, a refrigerator cracked and several ar- ticles stolen from various rooms in the house. The men were captured later and admitted that they had es- caped from the State Reformatory in Cheshire on Friday and had robbed four places since that time. Four po- licemen gave chase to the robbers and captured them after an exciting chase, having tracked them by their footprints in the sand. Assaulted Young Wife. A case which stirred up much sym- pathy among many persons in the court was that of Joseph Matala, charged with assaulting his 16 year old wife. The sympathy was all for the wife. The couple have been mar- ried a year and, according to the wife’s testimony, the husband’s chief occupation is beating her. She -said this morning that she had _.been warned by her relatives not to have her, husband arrested, but she could not stand his abuse any longer. She said that her uncle was in court, but that he would not stand up for her. Matala was in court in July on the charge of assaulting his wife and was put on probation. The probation was continued for two weeks. Flourished Knife in Saloon. Tomo Gaetano was before the court on the charge of breach of the pgace. It was alleged that he drew a large pocket knife in Anderson's saloon on Park street Monday night and threat- ened to stab Henery Hedlund. Otto Paul, a witness, said that Hedlund stepped on Gaetano’s dog accidentally which started the trouble. He said that the Italian pulled the largest pocket knife out of his pocket that he ever saw. Joseph Abrahamsomn, another witness, testified that the blade was at least five inches long. Hedlund was said to have threatened to punch the Italian’s face and Law- ver A. A. Greenberg. who appeared for the defense, claimed that the complaining witness was the aggres- sor,A filne of $7 and costs was im- posed. Erwin Connors, employed by Mrs. Chatfleld as a dellvery man in her news service, was charged with a vio- lation of a city ordinance by riding a bicycle on the sidewalk of ISast Main street.

He was arrested by Police- man John Leibler for ‘shooting craps.”,In his hurried attémpt to get away when the little game was sud- denly broken up Wolf fell down and broke a bone in his right hand. He was jput on probation. Alex Litke of 8 Kelsey street was sentenced to 30 days in jail but sen- tence was suspended under probation for committing a breach of the peace and being drunk last night.
