George B. Chandler of Rocky Hill, Who is chairman of the Connecticut State Council of Defense Publicify Committee, has made the following statement to th:> young men of Con- necticut, answering the question “Why do we raise our army by selective conscription?” as one of the series of “Made-in-Connecticut ~ War Inter- views” being made public' by, the Council through the newspapers. Mr. Chandler's statement tg the young men of Connecticut follows: “Young man your Country has laid its heavy hand upon you and bade you go out and fight. Why is it that you, a member of a free people, can thus be drafted into war without your will or consent? For the same reason that property of a free people is drafted for taxes—because it is necessary for national existeance. Property is draft- ed every vear; manhood may not be drafted more than once in a hundred vears; but the principle involved in the two processes is exactly the same. “A nation cannot live without taxes. It has to have funds to carry on its affairs. Neither can a nation live—in the present state of the world, at least—without fighting. It cannot stay at one side mind its own business and be let alone. Belgium tried it and she has been assassinated. For 'two vears and a half the United States tried it and submitted to a series of affronts, outrages and murders such as no first-class power has endured in modern history. The time comes when a nation must fight or perish. “Do you owe anything to your Coun- try that gives it a moral right to or- der you into battle? Let us see. “Your Country protects your life. If you are assaulted on the street a policeman comes te vour rescue. If you are attacked on the high seas by a submarine while going on your own business where you have a right to go, your Country goes to war for you. “Your Country protects your prop- erty. If a robber breaks into your home the forces of the state seek to locate him and punish him. If a fire breaks out in your city, the fire de- partment ccmes to your aid. If a man tries to deprive you of what you have earned or saved the courts of your country are open to you. “Your Corltry protects your fam- MADE-IN-CONNECTICUT ERVIEWS Statements by prominent Connecticut citizens on vital war topics have been secured by the Connecticut State Council This newspaper has made arrangements with the Council of Defense to publish these interviews, and they will appear Monday, Tuesday, of Defenge. State. When they go upon the street or highway or other proper places the law and its agents say that they shall be protected and you feel safe be- cause you know it. ““Your Country takes care of the un- fortunate. If one of your family be- comes insanc the State provides an in- stitution for his care. If one of your relatives becomes poor and you cannot care for him, the State does it for you. ‘“Your Country educates you. If you wish to use them your Couftry pro- vides schools from public funds. If you wish to be educated in private or church sehools, the State charters or safeguards them.. “Your Country makes possible—by building or chartering roads for men to travel on and .to transport gcods over; by establishing courts of justice; by chartering en- dowed colleges; libraries and art mu- seums; by establishing ambassador- ships and consulates entering into treaties and endeavoring to live on a plané of friendship with every nation that is willing to be friendly with it. Ths is what civilization means. “Young man, you can't be a citizen of this country and a ‘Pro-German’ at the same time when your country is at war with Germany. It isn't Germany that has been protecting you in your rights.. Germapy hasn’t been doing all these things for you. It is.your own nation—America! If you accept this protection from the United States, and then give your heart to some other country you are a cheat and an in- grate. Those who ride in the boat maust pull an oar or jump out. If you didn’t like the boat you didn’t have to get into it. “The same principle applies to ‘Eng- land-haters’. England France and the other allies are all trying to weather the storm. The craft have been lashed together. If you didn’t intend to sub- mit to majority rule of the crew under the command of duly elected officers, you should never have put to sea on the old U. S. A. There is nothing fine- spun or philogophical about this. Itis just everyday honesty ordinary decen- cy, and plain commonsense. “Your Country drafts you because it has a legal and moral right to. You have no legal or moral right to hang ack or sulk or dodge. You can't “4alk back’ to Uncle Sam at this stage of the game. ' A nation at war is not a debating club. It is grim business— an, organized people Yighing for its life. The rules are laid down, the gong has rung play is called the teams civilization ily.

WRITES FROM FRENCH CAWP Tells of Wonderful Training American Marines Will Secure Joseph Feingold, one of the very few New Britain boys who are with the expeditionary force of General Pershing in France, has written to his mother a letter, which is almost per- féct in its simplicity and very admir- able in its expression of the writer's optimism. The only concern of the New Britain young man in France is that his mother might worry about him. There is no touch of egoism in the letter although Mr. Feingold has plenty to feel highly proud of since he is a member of the first American force which has been transported -to France—the vanguard of countless thousands to follow. The epistle of Mr. Feingold has reached its destination only after passing through the hands of two cen- sors. No hint is given of the place from which the letter hhas been sent. It has taken the letter a little over three weeks to reach New Britain. Mr. Feingold is the son of Mr. and are on the field; play your part like a sportsman and thcoroughbred as well as an American!” cure tobacco here except French tobacco and I can’t very well use that. Please send me guite a good bit of good American tobacco and send it as soon as possible. Tobac- co here is as preclous as a fine diamond. We are quartered in a nice little town here. It is very quiet for there are no shows, or shops or even pool rooms. The only people here are old men and women and children and they spend their time tilling the soil and they live on their own crops. We have plenty of liberty. Yet the military discipline is strict and I believe that it should be for if it were not the Marines might do some damage for they like every- one else need to be controlled. Give my love to all.

He served three years ago in Costa Rica and Cuba with the United States Marines. According to the words of Mrs. Feingold “Joe is a born fighter.” The letter which rather shows the character and feelings of the writer than any important facts or observa- tions follows: In France, July 26, 1917. Dear Mom: It has been a very long while since I last received a letter from you and I am worrying about what might be the cause of your failure to write. Please write and write soon.

I have not a single ache except when I get through drilling and we certainly get enough of that. We are to have a company of Alpine Chasseurs train us in the most modern trench warfare. As the Alpines are the best trained soldiers in the French army you can be sure that we will have excellent training. The Chasseurs are a splendid group of men—all good natured and well disciplined. Under their direction and the supervision of our own officers we are to have wonderful training. ‘Well, mother. how is everything at home. How is Harry, Pop, and the kids?

Bliss torpedo testing sta- tion at Sag Harbor, L. I, blew up yesterday afternoon. The thirty-foot boat, after some tests in Gardiner’'s Bay had moored with the engine still running and the crew had left the boat. John Cosgrove was left to watch the engine. Suddenly the boat became a mass of flames and the tank ! of gasoline exploded. The local fire department put out the blaze after the craft had been considerably dam- | aged. Cosgrove was rushed to the | Southampton hospital. An armed { guard of the plant, on the pier was thrown into the water by the ex- plosion. Buy an Indiana truck.—advt.

His wife testified that they had been married five months. She had been married before and has three children by her first husband and the reason her hus- band has left her is because it cost too much to support her and the children. She said she has been working in the factory since her hus- band left her. Lawyer A. A. Greenberg appeared for the defense and questioned Mrs. Carbonic in regard to her faithful- ness to her husband, alleging that that question was the crux of the case. Women who live in the neigh- borhood testified that Mrs. Carboni was a good woman.and a good moth- er to her children. The court told the accused not to pay any attention to foolish stories and continued the case under the care of the iprobation officer for three weeks. 2 Pleads Noise, Not Speed.

The accused was found guilty and fined $25 and costs. TUsed Paper Markers. For allowing paper markers to be used on one of his automobiles in absence of the official markers Abra- ham Tarrish of New Haven was fined $10 and costs.

John Petrus was charged with as- sulting Adam Revolski, Tuesday. He was alleged to have struck him on the cheek.
