STANLEY CHAPTER IS DOING ITS BIT Supportig 11 French Orphans, In- vesting in Liberty Bonds and Knitting for Sailors. It is with a feeling of pardonable i pride that Esther Stanley Chapter, D. | A. R. makes announcement of the work accomplished by it since the first of June. As a result of a special meeting called by the Regent, Miss Whittle- to be accredited to the Esther Stan- ley Chapter. The balance has en- abled the chapter to adopt 11 French war orphans. Incidentally, it may be mentioned that members of this chapter in- dividually, have subscribed $37,600 for the Liberty Loan. The chapter has been allled all summer with the work of the Red Cross in the city, one day each week having been set apart for helping out the cause. In response to a like urgent ap- peal from the State Regent two com- plete sets of knitted garments (each set consisting of a sweater vestlet: helmet, and muffier,) have been for- warded for the use of the sailors on the battleship Connecticut. The chapter was one of the first organizations in the city to fall in line with .the plan to further the conservation of the food supply.

MANY GIFTS FOR CHILDREN’S HOME Idaho Farmer Sends Dost Dollar and | ‘Western Women Are Also Generous. A farmer out in Idaho was paying his farm hand last spring out in the flelds, when he dropped a silver dol- lar, which neither man could find at the time “If we ever come across that dollar again”, said the farmer, ‘‘we will send it to the Children's Home in New Britain.” The field was plowed, and planted with potatoes, which were cultivated and finally dug, but no dol- lar was forthcoming. Crossing the fleld one day after it was entirely cleared, the farmer saw his silver dol- lar lying on the surface of the sand and immediately sent it to the Chil- drens Home along with some more dollars to keep it company, and a let- ter of explanation. A chambermaid in a Chicago hotel recently heard in some way of the Home, and sent a large gift—"a thank offering for her excellent health”, as she expressed it. Several women on lonely farnts in the far West are saving the Sunday eggs for their contribution or painstaking- Ty doing fancy wérk to be sold for the benefit of the lccal Home. “Give un- til it hurts” is a Canadlan war mot- to, and apparently many of these dis- tant friends of the Children have al- ready put it into practice. A local friend has presented a fine | new bicycle to two of the older boys whom he is specially interested in. It is pretty difficult fof the lads to ar- range when to change off, and occa- sionally the matron has to arbitrate. There are potatoes aplenty just now from the Home gardens, and sacks of them have been delivered at each of the houses, to begin on right awar Thursday all the matrons had outing together, spending the dax a motor trip to Chalker Beach, Say brook, where the boys from the Corbin Avenue home are spending a blissful two weeks' vacation. ASSEMBLY PASSES FOOD BILL. Whitman Wins Over Political Enemies In New York. —Governor Whitman has triumphed in his first clash with the republican Old Guard. The Food Control Bill, which the republican leaders said would not pass and the Governor said would, late yes- terday passed both branches of the Legislature. The measure which Would have made possible the naming George W. Perkins as Food and Mar- kets Commmissioner of New York city was adopted by the Assembly. It was defeated temporarily by the Assem- bly. It was defeated temporarily in the Senate. The opposition to the Gov- ernors bill melted rapidly, and there was almost a disorderly scramble to pile on the Governor's wagon when the break came. With the important food measure out of the way and several minor leg- islative matters disposed of the Leg- islature took an adjournment till Sep- tember 6. At that time the Senate will receive the names of the three men to be appointed Food Commis- sioners by the Governor. George W. Perkins will be the Governor's first choice. Leaders who reflect the senti- ment of the Senate say that the Sen- ate will never confirm the appointment of Mr. Perkins. TELLING IT IN RHYME. This is the story of a party. The party was held at the Smith school playground yesterday afternoon. It was a surprise party in honor of the dancing instructor of the playgrounds, Miss Martha Reardon, who was cele- brating her birthday., The ochildren who have been under Miss Reardon's tutelage for the past two months did the surprising, Games were enjoyed. It was a grand and glorious afternoon, The scens was delighttul, the singing was sweet, the ehildren were happy, there was plenty to eat, The sun shone brightly, so clear was the air, the dancing. was.sprightly, the direc- tors were there. All hearts were joytul, as Miss Rearden was feted, and the party then finished, with an ending belated, sey, $701.50 was contributed, $300 of | which was invested in a Liberty bond | an | CALL FOR ATREN ISSUED BY SOUIER | | Thousands of Young Men Wanted | in Aviation Service Washington, Aug. 25.—The war department has issued a call for thou- sands of young.men to volunteer for the Aviation Corps. The hureau’s ac- tion means that Brig. Gen. Squier, chief of the Signal Corps, and the Air Production Board have complet- ed plans for the construction of the | great fleet of machines which the United States will turn out within a | year. Materials of all classes have been located for the construction of the | planes.

In a long talk with the Associated Press correspondent he told a story which, perhaps unduly pessimistic, ex- plains the persistence of Count er- nin, Austro-Hungarian foreign minis- ter, and of Emperor Charles in return- ing again and again to the subject of peace negotiations. The Austrian, who passed several days in Berlin on his way ta Copen- | hagen, had an opportunity to talk with representatives of the German foreign office, including Baron von dem Bussche-Haddenhausen, the undor sec- retary, and other prominent Germans of the stamp of Professor Hanx Del- crueck, of the University of Berlin: Philipp Scheldemann the socinllst leader, and Maximiliian Harden, editor of the Zukunft. He sald that all of these men, with tho oxception of Herr Herr Harden, were convinced pence was coming hefore winter. Food conditions In Vienna wore de scribed as worse than s unually im agined for the poorer clasmes of the population, though a fairly comfort- able existence may be maintained with maney. Many Food Riofs This Summer. Conditions are much better 1in the provinces, and in Lemberg, Cracow and other places in Galicia which this Austrian recently visited thero waw no difficulty in procuring food. Never- theless, he sald, there have been food riots in many places this summer. These usually were of a minor character, accompanied by much breaking of glass, but as a rule with- out loss of life, and they subsided regularly when proclamations were issued to the effect that a state of slege might be expected. It was his opinion that they would assume a more perious character il the war should last into the win- ter, According to this informant the Hungarians and particularly the Mag- yar ruling classes, are less weary of the war than are the Austrans, al- though anxious for peace, He described the young emperor as a man of really great popularity and, in fact, the one person of influence in the country who kept the threads of public policy in his own hands and | i 5 Patriots Enlisted in Name .

General U. S. Grant in the Civil war had trouble in starting one cam- paign. He sent the president the fol- lowing message saturated with deter- mination: “I'll fight it out on this line if it takes all summer.” Grant fought it out on that line and he was success- ful. The campaign that is being waged this summer is a series of operations the co-operation of the citizens to se- cure the names of those enlisted from this city. Now The Herald did not say it would fight it out on this line if by the New Britain Herald along with | it takes all summer but it meant it when it undertook the campaign. The Herald has almost succeeded. When the few remalning persons send in the above blank, filled out, along with the | | picture of the young soldier or sailor, | the Herald will have been successtul | also. There is an old axiom that one should never put off until tomorrow what one can do today. “And give the cheers boys, hooray! And don't forget to fill the blank to- day.” for soldier did not hesitate to strike out on new lines when he thought it best. The recent amnesty to political of- fenders was described as the emper- or's own idea, adopted contrary to the advice of many leading statesmen. It is said to have resulted in creased confidence in the sovereign and better feeling in political circles to such an extent that the measure was justified. The appointment as Austro-Hun- garian minister to Sweden of Count Tarnowsky von Tarnow, he sald in conclusion, was regarded in Vienna au a certainty CANCEL ACCIDENT POLICIES. Insurance Companics Withdmw Agreement for Soldicrs and Sailors New York, Aug. 25.-—Most of the casualty companies have decided to cancel heaith and accident insurance held by men in the naval or military service and to refuse to issye new insurance to such as may apply for it. This action has bheen taken he- cause the companies lack experience on which to base rates for the army and navy in war. That part of the premium applicable to the rest of the policy term will be refunded. In marked contrast with the ability of the casualty companies to avoid war risk is the situation of the life companies, which must carry the pol- icies of men in military life without extra premium if the policy had run one vear, or in some states two years, last April. It is estimated that the 00,000 drafted men carry policles with face value of some $200,000,000. The companies are charging a 10 per cent. premium on new policies for soldiers and sallors, meaning that the drafting of 600,000 men has placed the life insurance companies of the United States face to face with an annual loss of $20.000,000 if their war premium figures are correct. TRIED TO HINDER WAR WORK. Two Germans Will Join Colony ‘at Ellis Island. New York, Aug. 25.—Two Germans, expert machinists, are In the Ray mond street jail, Brooklyn, charged with having fomented discontent among fellow workers at the Morse Dry Dock and Repalr company plant in South Brooklyn. The Morse com- pany in preparing ten liners for trans- port service, and the authorities feel that the persistent but quiet propa- ganda sought to obstruct this work. The prisoners are William A. Marz, 81, of 4405 Third avenue and Paul Schroeder, 80, of 314 Fiftieth street. Word was sent from Washington to Marshal Powers to arrvest them and he quickly executed the order. They will join the rapldly growing colony of in- terned Germans on Fllis Tsland. Marz and Schroeder were kept un- der survelllance by agents of the in- telligence bureau of the Navy depart- ment. They have been in the em- ploy of the Morze company only a month. During that time, so it is sald, {hey spent considerable money and sought in other ways to influence the workmen, BOMBERS SENT TO PRISON. Two Intended to Cause Flurry Market. New York, Aug. 26.—Wolf Hirsch and Cleorge Melringer, arrested on May 28 lagt and convicted of having n bomb In thelr possession which they intended to explode at the banking house of J. . Morgan & Co., in orvder to start a Wall strest flurry, wore sontenced yesterday to the peni- tentiary on Blackwell's Island by Judge Wadhams in general sessions; each will serve an indeterminate term of from four months to four years. The court sald that the parole board would be communicated with and urged, no matter how good the be- havior of the conviots, that they be interned on the island for the dura- tion of the war. In passing sentence Judge Wadhams sald: “It has been established that these men did not seek to injure anybody, and that the so-called bomb they made was not dangerous to human life, but alien enemies must be care- ful, and the fact these men would have explosives in their possession shows that they have tendencies inimical to peace within the United lsulefi. in ine | AMERICA FOSTER MOTHER OF POLAND Chairman of Relief Committee Con- fident We Will Aid Populace in Occupied Districts. Petrograd, Aug. 25.—Alexander Lednitzky, chairman of the commit- tee appointed by the provisional gov- jernment to settle affairs in Poland, will leave tomorrow for Stockholm to arrange details for the provisioning of the wives and children of Polish soldiers in occupied districts of Po- land, who are in the Russian army. Representations already have been made to the various Entente govern- ments to grant Polish sufferers the same rights as the conquered Bel- gians. Relief work has already been be- gun by despatch of 51 carloads of rice from Switzerland to Warsaw. It li hoped that America will be willing to furnish the bulk of the supplies needed. “America is the second fatherland for the Poles,” said M. Lednitsky. “We shall never forget the words that Elihu Root of the American com- mission addressed to us during his visit here nor for the generous help already given us.” M. Lednitsky said the most recent information he had from the occu- pled districts showed there was great | distress there. He sald that the pres- ent is not the time to discuss peace.

She caused his arrest because she feared of the court. As a result of the count’s arrest, the police were given a few hints as to the proper methods of arresting | representatives of foreign ' nobility. | They were also given a bit of mystery, tangle, and which may result in much | interesting information. The deputy sheriffs readily consented, and then opened their eyes and ears wide as the count instructed his man- servant to telephone to ‘‘Twenty: three”; to telegraph to “W, two,” in- dicating the numeral by holding up two fingers, and so on through a long list of persons, all of whom are re- ferred to in the same cabalistic fash- ion. The count absolutely declined to offer any explanation in response to the questions of the officers, and (he,\r' ordered him to start for downtown. When their prisoner learned, how- ever, that the subway was to be used as a means of transportation his protests were most vqluble, and this time his remarks were made in the best of king’s English.
