Zurich, Switzerland, Oct. 19.—“The journey of Emperor William and For- elgn Secretary von Kuehlmann should be regarded as in a certain sense a preliminary step toward peace,” says the Neueste Nachriten of Munich. “The emperor's conversations at Sofia and Constantinople certainly mean the examination of every possibility In that direction, although it would bo a mistake to conclude that the de- cision might embody concessions in the nature of a program of annexa- tions by the enemy. The peace by conciliation which we desire has nothing in ‘common with that of Licyd George and Asquith.” WOMEN WERE JOSTLED. Caught in Crowd at Liberty Loan Meeting at Sub-Treasury.

FIRST CHINESE AT LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL William Chang, Native of Orient, First of Race to Study at New Britain Institute. The New Britain High school has added a new feature to the student body in the person of William Chang, “a son of old Nippon.” Chang was born in the southern part of China, near Canton, in 1900, and is now 17 years old. He at- tended the primary schools in China, coming to this country first in 1911. When he first arrived in America, he entered the Hartford Grammar school, and from there he went to the Ilart- ford High. This is his first year in New Britain, and he is rated as a junior in the College Prep Course. Chang is a real sportsman and takes a lively interest in athletics, particularly football, and is an earnest rooter for the New Britain High. In the track meet held last week he was entered in the 100 yvards dash. He made a close finish, being nosed out on the last five yards. TAKES OVER FACTORY. Liberty Ordnance Company Now is Owner of Projectile Concern. Bridgeport, Oct. 19.—The Bridge- port Projectile company which has a large plant here, was taken over by the Liberty Ordnance company, re- cently incorporated in this state, to- day. The new company in its an- nouncement says that the plant has been placed at the disposal of the United States government. The Bridgeport Projectile company was formed at the outbreak of the war. It was reported at the time that it was financed by German in- terests, and in April, 1915, received an order from the German govern- ment for two million shrapnel cases at a cost of $5000,000 of which amount $2,000,000 is said to have been advanced by Carl Heynan, who was reported to be a special repre- sentative in this country of the Ger- man emperor.

TIED HIMSELF T0 TRANSPORT'S RAIL William C. Buell Determined fo “Stand His Watch” Going Over “Wow, but it is a terrible thing to be seasick and the cure is almost as! bad as the disease.” So writes Wil-' liam H. Buell to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Buell, of 78 Winthrop | street, this city. Buell is ‘some- where in France,” but in letters tell- ing of his journey overseas he is found on the last lap of the trip and in ecstacies, for, as he says, ‘“We ex- pect to sight land tomorrow.” “Uncle Sam has & pretty long arm,” he comments after sighting a number of U. S. warships in the danger zone on the other side. The letters fol- low: Aug. 8 Dear Father and Mother: Well, I got it. I have been sick for two days. We encountered the most awful sea. Some of the waves broke completely over the ship. It was impossible to stay in bed and still more impossible to sit up or stand up, even hard to sit on the floor. be called for patrol duty Monday morning, The fellow I relieved had fainted from seasickness. I was al- ready feeling squirmish, but orders are orders, The station had to be the worst on the ship, of course—in the bow. Almost every wave broke aver the rail. I was more than soak- ed; I was nearly drowned. I got sick- er, but I wouldn't give in, though, so I tied myself to the rail. This saved me from being washed along the deck. I stuck it out for two hours, then I was relieved. I went to the ship’s doctor. He ordered me to | bed. This was an impossible order to obey. That is funnier than it sounds. Bed—gee, one might as well try to| sleep standing on one’s head. I went to my stateroom and sat down on the | floor. I gat tired of hanging on to the sides of the bed. I sure was seo- sick. The sea was bad all day Mon- day. Tuesday I went to the doctor again. time for dinner last night. about noon when I saw him. him to go ahead, I could try anything ance; it couldn't be worse than patrol duty. He gave me a bottle of Apenta water. It is like Pluto water and a wineglass full is a dose. He told me to drink the whole bottle. He said to get undressed and when I was able to take a cold bath to ring for him. Wasn't I sick—wow! In about three- quarters of an hour I was better and taok the cold bath. Doc then brought | me a glass of champagne and in about | two hours I was up on deck. I was pretty weak, but not seasick. Doc says I won’t be sick again this trip if I take care not to eat sweets. Be- | lieve me, I am going to er clear of | anything sweet. The cure is about as bad as the discase. The others who were sick at the same time are in bed vet. Out of 1,400 passengers only 26 were down to breakfast this morning. 1 was one of them. We expect to get in Saturday or Sunday. Hope so. | That was August 9. Wow, but it was bad. | It was my luck to | He said he could cure me in | I told | We expect to sight land tolay. Our | captain has a regular sclence for dodging subs. The other ships with us have been copying after him. I wil] draw a dlagram and then ex- | plain it. (Diagram omitted). This is | the way he zigzags, always keeping | in an easterly direction. He changes every 100 feet. A sub could be eas- ily sighted ahead and alongside of us‘ but it would be more difficult if it| was behind us. The way a sub does is to come up behind, .sight, sub- merge, and steam to the location they expect the ship to be in when they come up again. In that way they get close broadside. Now by zigzag- ging in this way they miss out on their guess. Now notice the sub is in first position. They would sight | the ship in the first 100 feet of di- rection and after submerging when they come up again would not be; broadsides as they expected but point- ing away from the ship. In this way a sub has got to come close to get a telling shot and then it will be sight- ed by the patrol guard and sunk. Hope you can understand it. Every-| one thinks that the Lusitania was | sunk 200 miles from land in two miles of water. The captain told us that it | was about three miles from land and | that at low tide one could see the'! spars. August 10. This is my birthday. Just think, ‘we have been on board for three | weeks. It has grown colder today. I received a very welcome birthday gift last evening in the form of 6| destroyers to convoy us to Liverpool, | 3 U. S. and 8 English. We gave them | a great welcome you can guess. Now | there is no danger from subs. I hope you will understand my telegram and not believe any press despatches stat- ing that we have been sunk. That news is merely a decoy. Don't you think the arrival of these destroyers a pretty good birthday gift? We sighted a sub five miles off yesterday. | ‘We surely did some maneuvering. We would go about 100 feet ahead, then face them and back water fifty feet all afternoon and evening until the convoy came up. You should have seen them come, great sheets of | spray thrown high in the air. They went through the waves instead of over them. They had sighted the sub too and after giving chase had beat it for us to protect us. It would be a great calamity to the allies if any of these ships were sunk, not only the loss of men but cargo. There is one million dollars worth of grain alone on this boat, besides munition, grain and copper. The other ships with us are loaded the same way, also the men being carried are more important than fighting men just now. England and France can raise fighting men but their engineers are about gone. There are thousands of engineers on these boats, principally railway engineers. A.

At the meeting of the directors of the New Britaln Chamber of Com- merce yesterday afternoon, the fol- lowing resolutions were adopted on the death of Vice President Charles J. White: “With sorrow we record the death of Charles J. White, Vice President of the New Britain Chamber of Com- merce, on the nineteenth day of Au- | gust, 1917, | “In this Chamber he played an ac- ' tive part. He labored earnestly for its development as he had for that of the organization which preceded it. He rejoiced 1n its successes, grieved over its failures and for its re-organiza- tion was diligently working even while the hand of death was visibly upon him. “And this he did because he was a true citizen. The city in which he lived was much more to him than a place in which one might earn a liv- ing. Just as any true man looks upon his ‘own country as something to love, to work for, to die for if need be—as this generation just begins to realize —so does the true citizen regard his own city. | “He was imbued with that idea, ! which not always understood, is nev- {erthe]ess the Teal foundation of the work of the Chamber of Commerce, the idea namely: that cnlightened self interest requires al the business forces of any ci to see not onl that all proper facilities are provided for the carrving on of their own busi- ness but that it is also equally impor- tant that the city itself should be equipped with all those conveniences, | advantages and attractions necessary i that all its inhabitants may live com- fortably, economically and happily. “So believing, he saw in this Cham- ber the most powerful instrument for the upbuilding of this city. “Well will it be if we who mourn his loss shall see with his vision both the difficulty and the duty which confront us and work with his faith and zeal for the upbullding of the City of New Britain. In no way so well as this can we honor his memory. ‘Tt is ordered that a copy of these minutes shall be spread upon our rec- ords, and presented to his family. “DIRECTORS OF THE NEW BRITAIN CHAM- BER OF COMMERCE.” steps for furnishing the necessities.
