Durng the coming school year, which opens in this city on September 111, one week from next Monday, a great deal more attention is going to be paid to the physical development of the pupils than has been the cus- tom heretofore, according to tentative ! plans utlined by Superintendent Stan- ley H. Holmes. Physical Director W. G.

There has been scme talk of insti- tuting scme scheme of military train- 'ing, but it is unlikely that this will come about inasmuch as the superin- tendent feels that the physical de- velopment of the student is more to be desired. ‘‘Physical development {and physical education will he made an important part of our year's work and we plan to do as much along ) | these lines as any other city or com- > | munity of our size.

Thienes was the guest of honor at the supper of the Scout- masters and their assistants at the P. & F. Corbin bungalow last evening. Mr. Thienes was Scout Commissioner of the New Britain council before P_m left to take up his work in Detroit, and he did much to make the Boy Scout organization of New Britain what it is today. He was presented with a very fine swagger stick by the officers of the New Britain council as a mark of their appreciation for his fine work.

Camp Fire Girls. A war fund of $50,000, to be used for instruction in the conservation of food and other important war work, is being gathered by the Camp Fire This is one of the most impor- by that organization which, from the moment war was declared had devoted itself entirely to the nation’s interests. Many prominent women of the country are taking an active interest in the collection of the war fund. Mrs, Eula‘’Jamar Ellisan of Virginia, has taken the lead in the movement by consenting to act as financial sec- retary of the fund, and through her influence many others are counted upon to aid in the great work being undertaken by the Camp Fire Girls. It is proposed to use the fund in spreading the idea of conservation, not alone among the members of the organization, but through them to the great bulk of American homes. Com- petent men will be placed in the field to spread this gospel of food conser- vation, Another use to which the fund will be put will be the safeguarding of the in the training conditions Day, neighborhood of military camps. Because of the which usually arise in the presence of these camps it is the purpose of the admini: ors of the Camp Fire Girls te get guardians in every town and locality where such camps arc being established. It will be the task of these guardians to provide suitable en- tertainment for the girls as well as for the soldiers in the - neighborhood of the camps. It is proposed to have moving picture shows, dramatic enter- tainments and church socials in order to take up the spare time of the men who are being trained. The guardians will act as‘chaperons at all of these entertainments. The Camp Fire Girls themselves will raise the bulk of the war fund in order to carry on the great work which is to conserve the food supply and guard the health and morals of the nation's girls and future mothers, + PROGRAM.

MADE-IN-CONNECTICUT WAR INT Statements by prominent Cor have been sccured by the Conncc ERVIEWS zens on vital wi Council of coticut ¢ ticut State r topics Defense. This newspaper has made arrangements with the Council of Defense to publish thesc interviews, and they will appear Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons. “WHAT IS LTKELL TO HAPPEN IF WE FAIL TO WIN THIS WAR?” An interview with Charles Seymour, of the Department of History, Yale university. Charles Sevmour of the Depart- ment of History at Yale university, answers in a telling manner the ques- tion, “What is Likely to Happen If We Fail to Win This War?” in one | of the series of *Made-in-Connecti- | cut” war interviews made public to- day by the Connecticut State Coun- cil of Defense. “If we fail to win this war we must frankly face two inevitable con- sequences, both pregnant with disas- ter for the happiness of our own and coming generations. The one con; quence is material, the other moral, said Professor Seymour. Continuing | his interview, Professor Seymour said:— “Our failure means the triumph of the militaristic clique at Berlin and | the assurance in power of the Pan- Germans, who believe that God ‘has given to Germany the function of ! ruling the world. Germany will be ruled by such men a the Crown Prince, who pilfers chateaux and ! sends millions to their death on the field in the hope of winning personai glory; as von Hindenburg, the per- sonification of brutal, efficient mili- tarism; as von Tirpitz, who inaugu- rated the policy of drowning non- combatant women and children by the hundred. Can we trust the peace of the world to such men? “If we fail to win the war, they will, at the very moment of peace, dominate an empire such as the world has not seen since the days of Rome. Germany was strong in 1914. Her strength will be quadrupled if she is allowed to maintain that union of | Central Europe which she has been | building up these last three years. Tt | will not be simply Germany the world need fear but Germany, Aus- | tria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and water- | ways of the Rhine and the Danube, the brige into Asia at Constantinople, and the short cut to the Kast. The empire would be self-contained; it would have its mines in Alsace and Belgium, its oil and wheat fieids in Rumania, it would draw inexhausti- ble supplies from Mesopotamia. “The new empire would be far stronger in relation to the rest of the world than ever was Germany. Its foes would be divided by their fail- ure. TItaly, France and Great Brit- ain would be laying the blame for the disaster each on the shoulders of the other; Russia, torn by internal anarchy would be Germany’s vassal. The war has cost Germany far less than her opponents, partly because | she prepared for it when costs were | low, partly because her boundaries have remained practically inviolate; she owes no money except to her own people. The British mercantile ma- rine has suffered terrible losses; the new empire of Central Europe, armed with the submarine, would threaten to control not merely the land but | consequences. gium, | Cross ! punished. | the | the couple. | was not so bas ta gl the s as well.

At the Dpresent time Mrs. Cleveland is at the local hospital undergoing treatment and -her sister has been staving at her home keeping house for her husband.
