WILSON Museum Curator Declares Neither Should Be Aroused (By Burlingham Schurr, Curator of Institute Museum.) Very few among the many théu- sands who are now responding to the call to arms to do battle against Ger- many; or for that matter very few American citizens ,realize that the rattlesnake was in olden times~ an emblem of our country. Furthermore, few people know that the rattlesnake under which our forefather fought could be used in great glory to dis- play true, red-blooded Americanism in the present war. The rattlesnake, which tens of thousands of people in the present day loathe, is in truth a creature with characteristics, which if properly understood, would cause every person dwelling under the Stars and Stripes to honor and respect. Do the peovle of our nation realize that ar' president, in this war, has done rything just as only could be done the rattlesnake were thé emblem If those who for doing things which they thought he should not have done or should have done would look to the rattle- snake for enlightment, they would see in the “schoolmaster,” as some call him, pretty good American stuff. And, if*there are any persons who still adjudge our president guilty of not being “true blue,” let them understand the history of the rattle- snake and get properly informed. Today the eagle screams and cally America to arms! In days of yore when the rattlesnake rattled, our country went to war! The dust and bones of our fore- fathers Inspire the k rattlesnake to rattle and buzz today as it never vi- brated its tail before—to cause the eagle to scream witk all thé power of its voice, that America, to a man, should rally around the president to defend our sacred honor. In the days of the making of our country, the ‘“rattlesnake fiag” was an inspiration to all who fought be- neath it. Pictured upon the flag in question, was a rattlesnake coiled in the position to strike, with head and tail raised, and beneath it were the “Don’t Tread On Me.” What the rattlesnake stand for? It Yike America, the rattlesnake The warning Keep away— The rattlesnake creature. America s ilkewise patient. A rattlesnake can under certain circumstances without its making any effort to attack. It will face its enemy in a coiled posi- tion and constantly vibrate its tail in warning. It knows its power and it knows when to strike. The foe can only go so far toward the rattlesnake. But it matters not for how long the enemy provokes the creature it will just that long constantly rattle. I1£ the foe gets careless—reckless, and goes too close, quick as a flah the snake strikes. Woe to its enemy, for its blow means death! Our forefathers were patient with the enemy, but when they were com- pelled to strike—well, we know what always became of the enemy. So it has been with our president. He has been very patient. Letter affer let- ter was written; warning after warn- ing given. The enemy heeded it not. The president knew his power—the “FROM THE WO! N'S VIEWPOINT.” An interview with Mrs. Rose Hartshorne—speaking officially the London County Auxiliary Commit- tee of the Connecticut State Council of Defense. The woman's answer to the ques- tions, Why Are We ' Fighting? and, What Is the Call of the Hour to the Young Men of America? is contained in a “Made-in-Connecticut, War In- terview, secured by a representative of the Connecticut State Council of Defense, and made public by the Council today. The questions are an- swered by Mrs. Rose F. Hartshornoe of New London speaking officially for the New London County ~Auxiliary Committee of the Council. Mrs. Hart- shorne when asked the question “Why Arg We Fighting?” made the follow- ing reply: “We are fighting because Germany has forced America, as she has forced the rest of the world, to de- fend herself in the only wWay possible against a natidn who has been pre- paring for forty years to carry on a policy of economic and political ex- apnsion by means of war. / “We did not make war on Ger- many, Germany made war on us—by taking the lives of our citizens on the F. for | unrestricted submarine MADE-IN-CONNECTICUT |~ WAR INTERVIEWS Statements by prominent Connecticut citizens on vital war topics have been secured by the Conmecticut State Council This newspaper has made arrangements with the Council of Defense to publish these interviews, and they will appear Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons. ) of Defense.

Judge James T. Meskill presided and George W. Klett handled the prosecution. The most important case that was brought up this morning was the case of E. Gor- don, who was charged with dealing in junk without having a license. The prosecution pointed out:that he had been selling copper and brass for the past six weeks with no_license as is re- A. A. Greenberg who represented Gor- don, claimed that Gordon had a license to do ‘the rag business and that his client had a clean record. Gordon was 66 years old and growing feeble, he said.

Against It ‘Washington, Sept 11.—By a vote of 69 to 4, the War Revenue bill, carrying an aggregate tax of $2,406,- 670,000, was passed by the senate last night. The vote came just before 8 o’clock, after four hours of voting, during which advocates of higher taxes tried desperately to advance the levy on incomes and corporation ex- cess profits. The four senators standing alone on the final vote against the mes: ure were Gronna of North Dako Borah of Idaho, La Follette of Wis consin, and Norris of Nebraska, republicans. An anexpected develop- Gore of Oklzhoma and Hardwick of Georgia, who had put up a stubborn fight at every turn on various fea- tures of the measure, and were count- ed upon the opponents of the bill to vote against it. The senate, shortly hefore passing the bill, eliminated the entire tax up- {on sugar, coffee, tea and cocoa, | \which, under the finance committee schedule, would have yielded $86,000,- 000. It also threw out the McKellar amendment providing for a zone sys- tem of tax for second class mail mat- ter. This struck out a prospectve tax of $12,600,000 from the measure.

After his substitute had been de- feated Senator La Follette tried to get the senate to adopt the amendment. put in by himself and supported by Senator Hardwick of Georgia, calling for a tax of 10 per cent. on incomes above $25,000, to give soldiers fight- bonus of $50 a month. The Wisconsin senator de- i fended Senator Hardwick against the attack of disloyalty made against him last week, crying: “IN say it is a shame to brand a man as a traitor who wants to see that families of men Who go to France to risk their lives are to be cared for adequately.” The Hardwick-La Follette bonus amendment was killed by a viva voce vote. The first fight of the day came over an amendment of Senator Broussard of Louisiana to strike out the tax on coffee of 2 cents a pound. The vote on this, 51 to 27, indicated that the entire consumption tax section would be knocked out. By a vote of 69 to 11 the senate next voted to strike out the committee amendment to revoke the act by which sugar withdrawals are allowed to growers of sugar who bring in raw material and refine it in this country for the export trade. This amend- ment was put in as a sop to the south- ern senators, to. wean their support to the measure, By voting down the committeé amendment the withdrawal tax law retained. 4 ‘Another motion by Senntor Brous- sard to strike out the 1 and 2 cents a gallon taxes on molasses, according to grades, was adopted 30 to 28. Then the senate voted 52 to 28 to strike out all consumption taxes in the bill. The Jones amendment revised by the committee to levy a 10 per cent. tax upon corporations undisturbed surplus, was adopted on a viva voce vote, A substitute by Senator Jones to eliminate an exemption in the committee’s clause of income actually invested and employed was defeated 45 to 35. Senator Owens’ amendment provid- ing for a tax ranging from 1 per cent. on inheritances of $100,000 to 100 per cent, on those over $95,000,000 was rejected, 51 to 30. Senator Hardwick's substitute to provide a zone system increasing sec- | ond-class postage rates on advertising | portions of publication of publications, estimated to raise $16,500,000 year, was rejected, 58 .to 20. Snarl Over Postage Rate. Passage of the bill was devoid of stirring scenes. At 4 o'clock, under the agreement which ended the closure fight a fortnight ago, debate was shut off, and a tedious series of a dozen rollealls brought the bill to pas- sage. A parliamentary snarl and a deter- mined fight on the second class post- age provisions furnished the most ex- citement. After the McKellar sub- increase prov sion, applying to publications sent be- vond 200 mil had been rejected, 40 to 34, and Senator Hardwick's sub- stitute zone plan applicable to adver- tising portions only had been beaten, 48 to 20, Senator McKellar attempted to offer another substitute with a maximum rate of 4 cets a pound in- stead of 6 cents, but Senator Saul bury presiding, held that the hou zone provisions had never been for- mally eliminated. Then the senate made sure of its determination to eliminate all postage ' increases and special levies on publishers by adopt- ing Senator Week’'s motions to strike out the entire house clause, 59 to 9. The final vote on Senator Brous- sard’s motion to eliminate all the con- sumption taxes was 52 to 28, as fol- lows: For the Motion—Democrats—Bank- head, Beckam, Brussard, Chamber- lain, Culberson, Fletcher, Gore, Hard- next See These Real Boys' Clothes at Horsfall’s Boy's Shop All Wool Suits — Mohair lined Coats in tweeds and cheviots of every description, All Wool Suits—With extra pair of trousers, full lined.
