CONPLETES QUOTA |comusion_ rn_isstor APpEAL FOR FUNDS | FOR HELPLESS RACES Collections to Be Taken for Syrians and Armenians OF FOOD PLEDGES New Britain Passes 9,000 Mark Gentral Ofice Is Told New Britain has completed its quota of 9,000 food -conservation pledges, with some to spare. The of- ficial return has not.yet been made by fhe United States Food Adminis- tration office at Hartford, but more than enough pledges have been for- warded by the lccal committee to complete the tale, and its chairman Was so notified, yesterday, by Francis R. Cooley, state chairman of the Food Pledge canvass. New Britain has a habit of meeting all demands upon it for any cause. and has made no exception in this Instance. The local committee felt that in asking for signatures from hine out of every ten households in the city, the staté committee had Dlaced the figure at the highest pos- sible point, in view of the large for- eigh population, and the thoroughness with which the ground must be cov- ered. In fact, it would not have been possible to meet the demand without hearty co-operation and a large corps of canvassers. The chairman met with but two refusals/to serve and these were made by women whose time was fully taken up by other work of equal importance. For four days over 1560 women and girls, working under captains connected With the principal churches, canvassed care- fully prepared routes and received the greater number of the pledges desired. The Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts followed, visiting homes where no window card was displayed, and the school children, under the direction of their teachers, completed the task. The local committee feels that New Britain has done its “bit” in this pldn, and has proven the loyalty and desire to help on the part of its citizens at large. On the first canvass, there were over a thousand homes where “‘ab- sence” was given as the Teason for not securing signatures, even a third or fourth call failing to find the housdwives at home. The most of these have been successfully covered later, through other mediums, but there are doubtless a goodly number of homes where there is willingness to sign the pledge for food conser- vation. To afford an apportunity for such households to take part in the government's plan for voluntary saving, and to permit those who re- fused, to reconsider, the committee has placed pledge cards, window cards and home instruction cards in the Crowell's and Dickinson’s drug stores, where they may be obtained. Show Sympathy For Germany. There were a number of refusals to sign, but no more than were antici- pated. In a few instances the can- vassers were treated with rddenes: and in others an active sympathy was shown for ti countr cnemies. All such cases as were ported have been carefully noted, and the info mation will be held for the proper authorities in of need. The local committee is informed by cis’ hospital vesterday. Mr. Anderson was born in Sweden 45 years ago and came to this country when a young man. He was employed as teamster for the Walker Co. for a number of yvears and was a member of Court Friendly, Foresters of America. He leaves a father in Sweden and two sis- ters, who reside at 26 Belden street, this city. The funeral will be held from the undertaking parlors of J. M. Curtin & Co. tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock. Rev. Dr. 8. G. Ohman will officiate and burial will be in Fairview ceme- tery. PLATTSBURGERS RETURNING The second reserve officers’ training camp at Plattsburg closes on Novem- ber 27 and all of the local men there are planning to return home for Thanksgiving. W. W. T. Squire, who has been commissioned a second lieu- tenant in the signal corps, is expected home within a few days. It is ex- pected the announcement of appoint- ments will be made shortly. OFFICERS ELEOCTED. The following officers were elected Jast night by the Swedish-American Republican club: President, Albert Anderson; vice president, August Wal- len; secretary, Carl A. Carlson; finan- cial secretary, John A. Erickso! treasurer, Severin Johnson; sergeant- at-arms, August Bergstrom and Aaron Danielson; executive committee, John A. Anderson and John A, Abrahamson. HEARS OF BROTHER’S DEATH. Mrs. Stanley H. Holmes, wife of the superintendent of schools, was notified last night of the sudden death of her brother, Dr. Eugene Dwyer, in Fitch- burg, Mass. Dr. Dwver was about 65 years of age. Mrs. Holmes left today for Fitchburg, where her brother’s funeral will be held tomorrow after- noon. CALABRETTA BANKRUPT. F. J.

His Mabilities are placed at $1,600 and his assets none. NO COAL—MILLS CLOSI Youngstown, O., Nov. 2 than 30,000 men employed of the largest steel mills here, all filling government orders, are today idle through the coal shortage forcing but 50 per cent. capacity operation of the mills. —More in seven WILL RA East Lyme, Nov. E STOCK, 24.—A large tract of land owned by Yale college has been leased to E. L. Reeve, of this town, who will engage in stock rais- ing on a. large scale. the State Chairman Cooley that the addresses of pledge signers will be placed upon mailing lists at Wash- ington and that informatian of value to those who wish to conserve the staples of wheat, meat, sukar and fats will be issued from the central Hoover headquarters. This will be gladly received. There is an earnest desire on the part of many of New Britain housewives to help in way possible as was shown by the inquiries made at the campaign head- quarters, and any definite expression of the wishes of the administration be generally followed as closely as the individual household . regime will permit. There were 90 houses under quar- antine at the time of the vancass There were 25 reported as vacant. There were a number of instances where special diet under physician. instructions made any change impo: sible. There were homes where the husbands had forbidden their wives to antine at the time of the canvass sers. There were others where care- ful housewives indignantly refused to entertain the idea of signing, con- sidering the mere request as a reflec- tion on their efficiency. There were others—a few—where poverty has laid so heavy a burden on the ques- tion of food supply that the canvas- sers were met with “I have nothing T can waste. There is no need to sign.” There were still others where Jetters from relatives in Turopean countries had told of visits made by food inspectors and who feared to be placed upon record in any fashion. In still other houses there was either a real or a feigned inability to under- stand the English language, and in over a hundred the doors refused to open at the canvassers’ knock, al- though the crying of children or other sounds made it apparent that people were within. i Taken all in all, the task was a considerable one, and the committee is relieved that it is completed, and grateful for the universal response made to its appeals for assistance. It is also pleased to find that the people of our city are so generally animated with a desire to respond to a cafil for service, even though imperfectly un- derstood and without definite instruc- tions as to the sacrifice involved. KILLS SISTER. Year Old Boy How Hunters Shoot. Worcester, Nov. 24.—Picking up a gun which his elder brother had left standing in a room after he had re- turned from a hunting trip, Harold Dunn, aged 14, shot his sister, Viola, aged 8, in the head today, Killing her instantly. “This is the way they shoot when they go hunting” said the boy as he aimed the gun at his sister and pulled the trigger.

REAR ADMIRAL PEARY Predicts During Address That Ger- mang Will Attack Our Coast Towns ‘Within Comparatively Short Time. New York, Nov. 24.—German at- tacks in the near future on American coast cities were predicted today by Réar Admiral Robert E.

LECTURE ON YELLOWSTONE. Rev. Warren F. Cook will lecture on Yellowstone Park at the Grammar school hall/ Wednesday, Dec. 5, at 8:00 p. m. Mr. Cook has kindly con- sented to give this lecture for the benefit of the Infant Welfare and Milk association and as the lecture is of great interest a large audience is desired. The babies, many of them future soldiers, need your aid and The following appeal by President Wilson has been made to American beople ta make contributions as they feel disposed for the aid of stricken Armenian and Syrian peoples: One year ago, in compliance with resolutions passed by the senate and by the house of representatfves, I appointed days upon which the peo- Ple of the United States might make such contributions as they felt dis- Posed for the aid of the stricken Armenian and Syrian peoples. American diplomatic and consular representatives and other American residents recently returned from Western Asia, assure me that many thousands of lives were saved from starvation by the gifts of tho Ameri- can people last winter. They also bring full assurance of the continued | effective ditribution of relief and re- | port that the suffering and death from éxpasure and starvation will in- evitably be very much greater this winter than last unless the survivors can be helped by further contributions from America. Reports indicate that of orphans alone there are more than 400,000, besides women and other dependent children, reaching a total of more than 2,000,000 destitute survivors. The | situation is so distressing as to make a special appeal to the sympathies of all. - In view of the urgent need I call again upon the peaple of the United States to make such further contri- butions as they feel disposed, in their sympathy and generosity for the aid of these suffering peoples. Contri- | butions may be made through thsi American Red Cross, Washington, D. | C. or direct to the American com- mittee for Armenian and Syrian re- lief, Cleveland H.
