MADE-IN-CONNECTICUT WAR INTERVIEWS Statements by prominent Connecticut citizens on vital war topics have been secured by the Connmecticut State Council of Defense. This newspaper has made arrangements witli the Council of Defense to publish these interviews, and they will appear Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons. Joseph W. Alsop of Avon, a mem- ber of the Connecticut State Council of Defense, in an interview with a representativé of the <council given out today in the series of ‘“‘Made-in- Connecticut War Interviews,” an- swerg the question “Why do we raise our army by conscription?’ with the following statement: “The benefits of our government and the responsibilities for its carry- ing on should fall alike on all. The first duty of every person to our coun<’ try is to protect home and family and to sustain tho form of government to save which this war is on our part be- ing waged. “In former days wars were fought by only a small part of the popula- tion. Each man, woman and child has his or her part of the burden to bear and must share in the war and its results. ‘“When we fight, we must fight with our whole power and energy or else we shall fail. To each individual there must be the task assigned for which that individual is best adapted. “In times of peace we enjoy in this land of ours, unexampled benefits and protection of our individual rights. We say we' are Americans; that we belong to the United States of Amer- ica. We should remember the re- sponsibilities which these words carry with them. ““War has come and our government has stepped in and is engaged in the task of organizing our people and our resources to meet the emergency. To our men of fighting age must fall the burden of carrying arms. Fach man fitted so to do must do his share. None shall be excused on account of position, family, or wealth; none shall be excused who wish to dodge their duty to their country. Only - those shall be excused who are indispen- sable to the task of organizing our resources or those whose absence from their usual daily tasks would throw too great an economic burden on their dependents. ® “Therefore, we have the ‘selective draft’ so-called. It is a measure founded on the very principles on which democracy is founded. Those selected under it to carry arms in defense of our country should be re- garded not only by themselves, but by all others, as men chosen for the highest duty to which a citizen can be called.” Patriots Enlisted in Address .....

Traffic Superviser Clarence phere made the arrest. his eyes bulging as though he had made the acquaintance with working section of a mule, Michael Dominic, another motorcyclist, ap- peared in court to answer to a charge of reckless driving and, incidentally, tried to convince the court and Pros- ecutor Klett that he was a little hero. ‘Witnesses testified that he was riding north ‘on Washington street and at Myrtle street lost control of his ma- chine and smashed into a fence. The accused said that the rod connecting the throttle and gasoline feed broke and he was unable to stop his ma- chine so, in order to avoid running down some little children, he deliber- ately turned into the fence. That he did hit the fence there was no doubt as his battered countenance testified. A fine of $25 and costs battered his pocketbook in a corresponding man- ner. Bert Erickson and Jeremiah Grif- | fin, charged with assaulting Ralph De Lovac at the passenger station, will lowed the accident and this morning’s heavy fine. Officer Gustave Litke, who arrested Splettstoezer last night, testified that after fllling his gasoline tank at Morrin’s garage os East Main street he proceeded down the street, struck George Byke opposite Hart- ford avenue and continued on his way, the patrolman following in an automobile he had commandeered. Arthur Johnson and George Burgess motorcyclists, testified that they fol- lowed Splettztoezer down East Main street and saw Byke lylng uncon- scious in the road. The crowd shout- ed that the car ahead had struck him and the two motorcyclists started in pursuit. At Elm street, witnesses de- clared, the tail light on the Newing- ton man’s machine went out and was not turned on again until after Stan- ley street was passed. They caught up with Splettatoezer at Laurel street ad advised him of the accident. At the time he professed ignorance of having struck anybody. Other wit- nesses wers positive, however, that it was Splettztoezer who ran down By- ko. The accused had nothing to offer in his own defense other than pro- fessed ignorance of the accident and a denial of having turned out the tail light on his machine to avold having his number taken. ‘Willam Neuman, recently of New York state, was fined $3 without costs for operating a motorcycle with nel- ther operator’s license, registration li- cense ‘or a rear number plate. The be tried tomorrow as the principle witnesses were absent today. Sylvie Wonsky was fined $7 and costs for tripping up Bronislaw Mas- elsky in an Elm street saloon last night. Maselsky was very drunk and needed only a slight impetus to send him sprawling. That impetus was furnished by Sylvie, who thought it a great joke to see Maselsky's head and face cut. A sentence of two months in jail was meted out to Anthony Palski for beating up his wife last night. There is some question as to the man’s san- ity and he may be examined later by doctors to determine whether he should go to jail or to Middletown. Monday’s Court Session. Anthony Gregario, arrested Sunday night on Chestnut street by Officer T. C. Dolan as being a *“peeping Tom,” was fined $20 and costs by Judge Meskill yesterday. Mrs. Murphy and daughter, Margaret testified that the man tried several times during the afternoon to makKel\heir acquaintance and at night took a peek through the windows. Louls Grosco, a chauffeur, was fined $6 and $10 on two counts charging him with operating a pub- lic service car without the proper li- cense markers.
