What we have of foodstuffs is common property, which by just division is sufficient to keep us alive for an unlimited time and which permits us to await final vic- tory with calm. Who takes more than his share sins against those who serve the fatherland.’ ™ Alsace-Lor- exclaimed the em- But he must come RAFFLING LIBERTY BONDS.

NEW BRITAIN BOYS AT AYER ARE HAPPY Larry’s Chow and Kind Officers Are Cloud’s Silver Lining (By Herald Correspondent). Camp Devens, Ayer, Mass., Oct. 18. —The progress of construction at this cantonment is amazing. Yester- day I visited the barracks where we were stationed on our arrival here Sept, 20 and was surprised to see 35 stables now oocupying what was our first dril] grounds. It seems that no matter where, you go you will see construction. At present we are hav- ing heat installed in our barracks, and when that 18 finished we will all be happy. One of the hardest tasks is to tumble out in the morning for roll call, and that is the time we all join in Harry Lauder’s chorus, with, “It is nice to get up in the morning but it is nicer to lie in bed.” Company C {s fortunate in having Sergeant Larry Sullivan as overseer of “vittles.”” The “chow” as we fonde ly term it is the kind to build one up, plain, wholesome and plenty of it. No matter how wearily a recruit has dragged through the morning drill, his pace quickens and his eyes brighten, as he hears Larry’s silvery whistle sound the chow call. It ap- pears that the way Walter Campbell and Doc Fay relish the mess, that they must have a side bet as to which one will bé able to carry the most machine guns on their back at the end of the month. A non-commissioned officers’ school has been established in the battalion and the following New Britain men are actively interested every day in staging a ‘one-hour gkit entitled, “School Days”: Sergeant Kiniry, Gorporals McDonough and ~ Sullivan and Privates Tyler, Tompkins, Veley, Steiner, Bonenfant, Miller, Camp- bell, Bailey, Sanders, Hofer, Cook, Steinman, Andrews, Jartman, Fay, Hamilla, Kolodney, Kelly, Apelgren, Lynch, Robinson, Roche, Reilly, Mo- Carthy, O'Brien, Serguis and Bloom. The heart and soul spirit which our officers are showing while working shoulder to shoulder with the men is surely destined to make the bat- talion the finest in the division. Kind- ness, justice and firmness are the three attributes that the officers are making use of in meeting the enlisted men half way, and in turn the re- cruits are expressing their apprecia- tion of this attitude by coming half way with obedience and loyalty. Like the men at the front the fol- lowing bit of soldierly philosophy ex- presses our optimism: You have two alternatives; you are mobilized, If not, you have nothing to worry about; if you are mobilized, you have two alternatives—you are in camp or at the front. If you are not in camp you have nothing to worry about; if you are at the front, you have two alternatives—either vou are in re- serve or on the fighting line. If you are in reserve you have nothing to worry about; if you are on the fight- ing line you have two alternatives— cither you fight or you don’t. If you don’t you have nothing to worry about; if you do you have two alter- natives—either you get hurt or you don’'t. If you don’t you have noth- ing to worry about; if you get hurt you have two alternatives—either vou get slightly hurt or you get badly hurt. If slightly, you have nothing to worry about; if badly you have two alternatives—either you recover or you don’t. If you recover you have nothing to worry about; and if you don’t you can't worry if you want to so what's the use? either or you are not. . YOUTH VERSUS AGE. Young Man Beats Up Old Man, Form- er Fined and Latter Discharged. In a battle of youth versus old age, yesterday afternoon Timothy Reagan, 28, administered a beating to Joseph Pisky, an aged Kensington man. Both were arrested. Reagan was fined $5 and costs for drunkenness and $15 and costs for assault, and the old man was sent home when the case was brought to the attention of Judge James T. Meskill in police court this morning. Carl Hockman of this city and New Haven was fined $10 for operating a commercial car on a dealer’s license. He explained that he was using the car on trial and had not yet acquired it, but ws unable to prove this asser- tion. One small boy, employed by a tele- graph company, was given a hearing in chambers on a charge of stealing a bicycle. He denied the charge, say- ing he “only took it"". He was placed on probation. Another boy was sent to the reform school as an incorrigible truant. STATE MEETING HERE. The instructors of the Turner so- cieties from all over the state are to hold their quarterly meeting at Tur- ner hall in this city on Sunday, Octo- ber 28. A number of the actives and the instructors will attend. It is said that a reception is to be held on Octo- ber 27 and action regarding this will probably be taken at the regular meeting of the assoclation this eve- ning. The program Sunday morning will consist of exhibition drills with a business meeting in the afternoon. RECEPTION TO MINISTER. A reception will be given in honor of the new Italian minister Aurelio Sofia by the Italian congregation at the South Congregational church next Tuesday night at 8 o'clock in the South Church Chaple. The reception is to be given under the auspices of the South church people and of mem- bers of the Italian congregation. A musical program has been arranged and the Philathea class of the church will assist at the reception. OVER $17,000 IS VALUE OF PRODUCE Raised on Home Garden Plots During the Past Season That the home garden movement, financed by the city and backed by the chamber of commerce and other organizations, has been a success was asserted at last night's meeting of the common council when E. W. Pelton, chairman of the committee in charge, presented his detailed report. This report, which was read by City Clerk A. L. Thompson and supplemented in person by Mr. Pelton, showed that the city gardens produced crop# valued at $17,072. The crop flgures indicated that 6,700 bushels of potatoes, valued at $11,725, were raised as well as the following garden truck: 50,000 heads of cabbage, $2,500; 84 bushels of beans, $672; 275 bushels dweet corn, $275; 820 bushels of beets, $320; 200 bushels of turnips, $200; 80 bushels of carrots, $80; and 300 bushels of miscellaneous produce, $300;s total $17,072. A partial report of the garden’s committee follows: About 115 acres of land was secured. This was ploughed and harrowed, divided up into plots of about one-eighth of an acre for each person. Over one thousand applications for land were received. Six hundred and eighty- eight people actually planted gardens furnished by this committee. On the six hundred and eighty-eight gardens amounting to about eighty-six acres, not including any land reserved for pathways, crop was raised totalling approximately as follows: Potatoes 57 acres; cabbage, 9 1-2 acres; beans, 6 acres; corn, 4 acres; tomatoes, 2 aores; beets, 1 acre; turnips, 2 acres carrots, 1-2 acre; waste, 2 acres. Mis- cellaneaus crops including cucumbe peas, peppers, squash, pumpkins, parsnips, kale, onions, and chard, 2 acres; During the summer lectures were held at the Grammar school on canning and preserving, and drying of vegetables and fruit.

Commenting upon this report, Alderman Curtis moved that it be printed and said it should prove the fallacy of municipal farming. Re- ferring to the canning account, which showed $1,000 had been expended, he just had to have his little joke and sald “that $1,000 was canned.” He favored putting an estimate for the home gardens in next year's budget and letting the people vote on it, as- serting that there has been some $25,- 000 expended since the tax rate was settled. This amount did not appear in the budget and is spending money through improper channels, he said. Mayor Quigley jumped to ‘the de- fense of the committee and said that the council has to be composed of big men in order to do big things in times of stress. ‘“Sometimes,” he said, “I have to hang my head in shame to hear members of the council eriti- cise the men who are giving up every- thing to do their bit. I dislike men to be low, petty and mean.” Not at all nonplused, Alderman Curtis said: “The mayor’s remarks, or some of them, are perhaps aimed at me, but I don’t have to ask any man in this room about my patriot- ism. We have commissioners and commissions, but it is not what we have in the line of commissions, but rather what we get out of them. Re- sults for the people are needed.” From gardens and potatoes the de- bate then switched to patriotism and Councilman Andrews said he wanted to make the statement that he was patriotic and he thought all other members were. Councilman McDon- ough also said he objected to being called a slacker and said he and other council members were working for the best interests of the city. Alder- man Paonessa also got in another speech in a similar vein and discus- sion was finally closed when it was voted to print the report in the min- utes. Mr Pelton stated however, that un- less the council takes some action and makes the necessary provisions for the garden movement ‘another year it cannot be a great success as now is the time to prepare for the future. 156.54 3.07 Your name on the dotted line of a Liberty Bond subscription blank is a | promise and a threat to Germany. | army headquarters at Sheishehie: .$1,000.00 76.31 | 'TURKS TURNING ~ AGAINST GREEKS! Untold Atrocities in Turkey New York, Oct. 17.—Not sated by the slaughter of hundreds of thou- sands of Armenians and Syrians, the Turk has also turned against the Greek Christians in his dominions vietlm to persecution in the form of I"enth‘ suffering or deportatton, ii | was declared here today by Frank . Jackson, of this city, chairman of the Relief committee for Greeks of Asia Minor. He sald the real details of these new Turkish atrocities were Jjust beginning to leak out. “The story of the Greek deporta- tion is not yet generally known,” said Mr. Jackson, “Quietly and gradually | the samo treatment is being mected ians. Although closely guarded, cer- tam echoes of these horpors come out | from time to time. \Z" ‘“There were some‘two or three 1illlon Greeks in Asia Minor at the outbreak of the war in 1914, subject to Turkish rule. According to the latest reliable and authoritative ac- counts some seven to eight hundred thousand have been deported, main- ly frora the coast regions into the in- terior of Asia Minor. ‘The Greeks of Asia Minor have always been law-abiding and perfect- ly loyal to the Turkish government. { Under Abdul Hamid they were well treated, but his successors adopted a rrogram to crush them. At the declaration of the present war all persecutions were stopped but. the spring of 1916 brought to the stage a tragic, novel drama unique in the history of the world as,to its horrors and destructiveness, that Iis the Armenian deportation; under that innocent name the extermination of a Christian race was started. “Along with the Armenians most of the Greeks of the Marmora regions and Thrace have been deported on the pretext that they gave informa- tion to the enemy. Along the Aegean Coast Aivalik stands out as the worst sufferer. According to one report some 70,000 Greeks there have been deported toward Koria and beyond. At least 7,000 have been slaughtered The Greek bishop of Aivalik commit- ted suicide in despair. “The latest account from Trebizond shows the towns along the Black Sea arc being emptied of their Greek pop- ulation. From Lyndon S. Crawford, niissionary of the American Board at Trebizond we have a letter dated July 24, 1917, in which he says the following order came from Turkish ‘By 12 July let no Greek man over 16 and under 50 be found in Ordou. Send all such on into the interior. As for the nilies, we will send further orders later. “Mr. Crawford also wrote: Jet us express once more our f delive rst thank- nce He us by nd Rus- ¢ and people. ppreciating what the Rus- ans have done for this region. Im- mediately after the Russian occu- pation of this province in April, 1916, hundreds of Armenians began to come out of their hiding places.’ “From the Greek minister to the United States, Georges Rousses, I have a letter September 21, 1917, in which he says: ‘“‘Racked by the Germans, Turks have put into execution cven organized their wildness. They have decided to exterminate the Greek element which is the most im- portant and most numerous in Asia Minor. “‘Under pretext of necessities of war entire populations have been de- ported. Members of families have been separated. The old, the men un- fit for military service and the wom- en, were sent into the interior of the country, abandoned without the slightest help and exposed to all sorts of deprivations. The men fit for mil- itary service were taken by force into the army despite the fact of having paid for exception; some of the wealthiest have even been called on to pay this exemption fee three times over.’” The Relief committee for Greeks of Asia Minor, Mr. Jackson said, has been organized for non-political and purely humanitarian purposes and aims at securing means to aid these Greeks reduced by sudden persecu- tions to a state of want. the and SHORT CALENDAR COURT.
