Calling upon the citizens of Berlin to carry bn a campaign to cultivate and to stimulate patriotism and also asking the assistance of all to ferret out the alien enemies residing here and to report to the proper authori- ties any treasonable acts or utter- ances, many local people have Te- celved letters from Governor Marcus | H. Holcamb. In his letter, Governor Holcomb denounces persons who do: not uphold the government as ene- mjes to this country. The chief ex- ecutive calls upon every person “to be as aggressive in creating loyalty to this country as Germany s to pro- mote disloyalty and treachery.” The letter follows: “The United States has been forced into this twentieth century war by and against an unscrupulous enemy which is prosecuting the war by in- human, barbarous and piratical meth- ods. The result of this war will de- cide whether a permanent peace will be assured and whether or not the liberties of the peoples of the world | ghall survive and be preserved. “It is abvious that too large a pro- portion of the residents in our coun- try do not comprehend the vital im- portance of frustrating the designs of ur enemy and emancipating the vorld from tyranny and war. “Millions of peoples have came to reside in this country to enjoy its privileges and opportunities. It is their duty. whether they are citizens or alien residents, to uphold the gov- ernment. Any person who does not do this is an enemy to this country and sliould be classed as such. ‘He that, is not with us is against us’ and anyone who gives aid or information to our enemy ls liable to arrest and punishment. It is the duty of the alien, as well as the citizen, to help Amcrica In this war. Every person who sympathizes with our enemy has no right to reside here. It is the duty of every American citizen to possess afi aggressive patriotism and to en- deavor to impart it to every resident in this country, whether citizen or alien. It is also the duty of every at Berlin * resident 10 immediately report to the! proper authorities any treasonable acts or Uttcrances from any source which may come to his knowledge. “I call upon every loyal citizen to carry on a campaign of education with a view to cultivate and stimu- late patriotism in this country.

E. C. Gillette Into Offico of Pastor of Plainville Congrega- tional Church—Campaign Starts Monday. After about fivé days illness with pneumonia Mrs. Bdwin A. Freoman succumbed to the ravages of the dis- ease last night at 6 o'clock at her home at the corner of West Main and Washington streets. Efforts of doc- tors and nurses to save her life were to no avail. She is the second victim ' of pneumonia in this town within the | past three days. A week ago Mrs. Freeman plalned of having a hard cold and medical attention was immediately se- cured. In spite of efforts by attend- ing physicians the cold developed into pneumonia from which she never rallied. From the time pneumonia set in small hopes’were held out for her recovery Besides her husband, Edwin A. | Freeman, who is a Civil War veteran and acted as moderator at the last election, she is survived by a daugh- ter, Mrs. Everett Lewi of Hyde Park, Mass., and a son, Philip Free- man, a graduate of Yale University and at present employed at the Coe Brass works in Torrington, Conn. Both her son and daughter were with Mrs. Freeman at the time of her death. She is also survived by seven grandchildren. The funeral will be held at 2 o’clock Monday afternoon from the home. Rev. E. C. Gillette, pastor of the Plainville Congregational Church will officiate and interment will be in West Cemetery. Mrs. Freeman was born in the small town of Hartwick, N. Y., 72 years ago, removing from that place to Wallingford, Conn., where she was united in marriage with Edwin A. Freeman, who at that time was em- ployed as a railroad man. Mr and Mrs.. Freeman removed to this town 7 years ago and since that time have resided in Plainville, leaving the town but intermittently to spend the winter months in Sduthern climes. Mr. and Mrs. Freeman had planned to go South this vear just about the time she was stricken with pneumonia. The town will mourn deeply the loss of Mrs. Freeman. She was a devout Christian and 2 lifc long member of the Con ional church. becoming affiliated with the local parish shortly after her advent here. She always as- sumed an active part in civic mat- ters and in the social life of the com- munity and could be found among the foremost to contribute to the welfare of the town. The married life of Mr. and Mrs. Freeman was one of life long devo- tion. Their marrigge was a happy unlon. As years passed by and time left its mark upon the brow of the aged couple they scemingly became more endeared to each other. Two years ago Mr. Freeman bravely un- derwent an operation which would have deterred many a younger man. Two weeks after he had been operated com- —although the operation had neces- sitated the loss of a limb. Since that time he and Mrs. Freeman were con- stantly together and their lives were made brighter by their devotion for each other. Mrs. Freeman was con- stantly at the side of her husband to grant his slightest request. New Minister Inducted Into Office. The council of recognition inducting Rev, E. C.

In Canaan he completed 15 years of service, mak- ing 20 years in all In those adjoining I towns. The following clipping from a Canaan newspaper shows {o what ex- tent he had hecome endeared to his congregation in that place: “To think of Pilgrim church with- out Edward Carlton Gillette at the head of all its varied life, or of Can- aan without the genial pastor of Pil- grim church associated with people of all the other churches and no church relationship brings up a feel- ing of the loss of a dear ¢riend. He had so grown into the affections of the people of the community that oth- to consider him their pastor too. Ho to consider him their paseor too. He was gladly welcomed in all homes and no community event was complete without his presence.” In Canaan Mr. Gillette served as president of the Canaan choral so- ciety since its organization and for one year was president of the county choral union. ’ He was also a vice president of the Litchfield County University club and for three years the moderator of the Litchfield North Association of Con- gregational churches.

The Soclal Welfare League will hold its third annual meeting for the elec- tion of officers, and the consideration | ot its winter's work, Wednesday, No- vember 14, at 3 o'clock at 65 Whiting | street. Since its organizationtNov. 14, 1914, | the League has done some efficient | work, especially in the hard winter of | 1914. During the past year its work | has been quietly carried on by Mrs. Hiram Lowrey its vice president. While it has never at any time han- | dled much money, it has handled | quantities of clothing which it has | of individuals aloe, but of the town itself, saving it many dollars. With little money, and with very little clothing, the League is now fac- ing what promises to be an unusual winter in regard to need. With the all-important work for the soldiers taking the first place, as it must, and wlith the packing of Missionary boxes and barrels by the churches, it is go- ing to be easy to lose sight of our own people until the great need comes and finds us unprepared. So in this time of universal pleas for help the League feeis that it must make a strong ap- peal for contributions of clothing and shoes, indeed for anything which can possibly be\spared from these other objects. While all may not be able to purchase Liberty Bonds, every per- son in Plainville can help along some line. Campnrign Starts Monday. The Y. M. C.
