PULLAR ‘& NIVEN FIRST LOCAL MAN VICTIM OF GERMANS William Denby, of Pleasant Street, ‘With Canadian Overseas Battalion, 1 Succumbs to Gas Attack. Willlam Denby, son of Mrs. Cath- erine Denby, of 76 Pleasant street, a soldier in the Canadian Overseas Bat- talion, is dead somewhere in France, a victim of a gas attack made by the German forces on the western front. | The soldier died on November 25. As far as is known, Private Denby is the first New Britain man to actually sacrifice his life before the onslaught of the Central Powers, and Mrs. Denby is the first New Britain mother to feel the crushing blow of the mailed fist of Germany.

This year, due in a measure to the | exigencies resulting from war, the church is changing somewhat its reg- ulations regarding the solemnization of marriage, also the newly announced Code of C‘;lnen Law implies. certain other changes. A portion of this new code is now in force, but most of it will go into effect next spring. How it will affect the laity is of interest to Catholic readers. Advent means the closed or forbid- den season for marriages. Under the old order it was not permissible to solemnize marriage between the be- i ginning of Advent and January 7, the Under the new dispensation marriages are permitted to be solemnly celebrated on and aft- er December 26. According to this new code, no en- in writing, signed by both parties to the contract, by the pastor or bishap, or by at least two witnesses. The baptismal certificate is required. At least three days should elapse after the last publication of the bans be- fore the marriage takes place. An important ruling affects the valid age for marriage. The minimum | age is sixteen years for males and | fourteen for females. Blood relation is a bar to marriage in the collateral line as far as second routine that must be followed before the often essential meeting to ar- range the future of wife and children (there are usually many) can be had. A Finding Bureau seeks to locate rel- | atives and friends in Burope, with whom communication has been up to the present impossible. Emergency Housing. Every Army center employs num- bers of girls and women in telephone offices, in shops and in restaurants, and as laundresses. In very few in- stances has any provision for adequate housing of these employes been con- sidered. Practically every industry connected with the furnishing of war supplles employs large number of girls. Thou- sands of girls are filling in the ranks lett vacant by the men. Kor these, as well as for the girls employed near the camps, the Couucil has begun to erect houses as &1 emergency meas- ure and as a demoustration to the em- ployer and to the otherwise unpre- pared community that girls who are employed may be cared for simply and emciently, to the welfare of the em- ployed, the employer and the com- munity. Social Standards. Through a Bureau of Social Moral- ily, quaiued women Dhysicians are enlisted to promote throughout the country the highest moral standards, and the promotion of true patriotism. Lectures to mothers, teachers and girls are made accessible; to the latter af- ter they have been drawn together through some club or other lond of ‘worth-while Interest. Colored Communities. A great number of the camps and cantouments are situated in that part of the United States where the col- ored population is densest, and special need for the care of our coiored wo- men presents itself. Five colored workers of the national staff are giy ing their time to directing work among their own people and securing leaders essential to promoting practi- cally the same activities among col- ored girls as are under way among the cousin, inclusive, Formerly the pro- hibition extended to the third cousin, inclusive. An important ruling concerns the impediment of afflity—between a widow and her deceased husband’s blood relations. The new code pre- vents marriage in the collateral line only to the second degree—to the first cousins of the deceased husband. Under the new code it is required that a sponsor at baptism must have reached his fourteenth year. The cade confines the impediment of spiritual relationship to the god- parents and the person baptized. The sponsor at confirmation now does not contract any impediment for- bidding him to marry the person for wham he acted as sponsor. Heretofore Holy Communion has always been received while fasting. An extension is made in favor of! those who have been ill for at least a month and whose early recovery is not expected. They may Teceive Holy Communion ance or twice a week, ; even if they have broken their fast by taking medicine or liquid food. War and hardships resulting from war have changed many strict rules. The new code abrogates the general prohibition against eating flesh and fish on fast days, and until the resu- lation is changed the following are only days on which bath fasting and abstinence are prescribed: Ash ‘Wednesday, all Fridays and Saturdays of Lent, the ember days, and the days preceding Christmas, Pentecost, As- sumption and All Saints’ Days. Should any of the days of fasting fall on a Sunday or holyday, there is no obliga- tion of keeping the fast or abstinence. since war was declared on Germany, in each instance death was due to na- tural causes or accident rather than to the attacks of the enemy forces. Private Denby was well known in this city, where he spent many years of his life. He was at one time em- ployed at the Landers, Frary & Clark factory and while residing here took an active interest in military affairs, having enlisted in the local militia. Later the call of military life was so great that he enlisted in the regular United States Army. When the war broke .out in Europe, Private Denby transferred his allegiance from the American forces ta those of Great Britain and changed the U. 8. A. on his uniform to the Maple Leaf insignia of the Canadlan Overseas Battalion. He went to the western front with some of the first troops sent Across and saw much active service. In one of the more recent engagements the command with which the lacal man was attached was in the center of a German gas attack and the deadly chlorine fumes overcame him. He was removed to a base hospital behind the lines where, for some time, he lin- gered between life and death, but the strong constitution of the soldier was unable to withstand the ravages of the gas and he succumbed. Besides his mother, Private Denby leaves ‘& brother, George Denby, druggist with the Riker & Hegeman company in this city, and a sister, Mrs. Earl Gardner.

CAMPAIGN HUSTLERS TOE MARK (Continued from First Page.) have formed numerous clubs and circles of younger girls who are ral- lied to patriotic service through chan- nels of expression suited to their youth and enthusiasm. Red Cross activities, care for orphans of Belgium and France, physical exercise careful- ly supervised ahd directed, and a high code of dignity and honor are prov- ing safeguards to the dangers incident to the departure from our usual so- cial restraints, a condition due to war times. A Junior War Work Council, as an adjunct to the Senior Council, has taken as part of Its activities the promotion of the Patriotic League. The membership of the Patriotic League of younger girls includes to- day more than 100,000 girls from | ocean to ocean, each linked to the other by the pledge: I pledge to express my patriotism By doing better than ever before whatever work I have to do; By rendering whatever special service 1 can to my community and country; By living up to the highest stand- ards of character and honor and helping others to do the same. Hostess Houses. white girls. European Women. Even before the War Work Coun- cil was appointed, calls had been re- ceived from trusted social workers in Russia and France, both American and European, for American Y. W. C. A. workers to assist the women of thase countries in facing cult future of reconstruction for women. s In response to these calls seven women have been assigned to Russia to work with the committee of Rus- | sian women working to make possible | to the Russian working women suit- able cafeterias where nourishing food may besobtained for these women whose labor is so essential to the wel- fare of Russia. Twelve women have been sent to France, part of whom have been calied for to assist a committee of French women in equipping and di- recting foyer-canteens for industrial women whose hours of labor are long and on whom the stress of war bears so heavily. Help to provide rest- rooms, recreation and proper food conditions are among the services which suffering France is asking of the American Y. W. C. A, remainder of our workers now France asked to take charge social hiuts for the splendid Amer- nurses now “somewhére in France.” These huts are being con- structed at the hospital base units and will do for the women when off duty, as far as may be under war con- ditions, what our Club for Nurses does for the two hundred leading mem- bers of the profession in New York city who share its hospitality. Our economic specialist of the national staff has been loaned to service in France for a few months to direct building operations. The cost of construction at home is rivaled by its expense abroad and in both France and Russia the erec- tion of buildings and the placing and furnishing of suitable plants for work involves great expense. But all this expense Is part of the price necessary to make the world sate for women as well as for democracy. Enlarging the Home Base. Men who enlist go abroad. Women who enlist come into our communi- ties and add to the responsibility of the assocation in the United States. Everywhere the Y. W. C.A. seeks to strengthen the regular activities which alone have made its war wark possible and which must be the force that makes for permanence in all the spiritual results that follow its prog- ress, shaped ever in service to woman- kind, inspired by Jesus Christ.

They d the approach of social revolution and the destruction of the existing order of things. It was a demonstration of the Bolsheviki in action, ana it wound up in a frenzy of music and dancing, with a long-haired Bolsheviki reeling through the ranks of whirling com- rades with a battle of whisky in his hand. He wore shabby clothes, his brown hair hung to his shoulders, and a loose black tie flowed from his neck. Holding the bottle aloft as he danced, he invited all to drink, and if none would drink with him he drank by himself, caressing the bottle as he did so, and wafting kisses after each drink to the spirit of freedom, to the triumph of the social revolution and the salvation of the proletariat. He was a living representation of the Bolsheviki banner displayed in front of the ge. On it was a pic- ture of a moujik steeping himself in liguor, while the inscription under- neath read: “Hall, Bolsheviki Drink, -brothers! Life is short, but vodka is plentiful!” Some one asked the drunken Bolsheviki whether he was following this practice, and he re- plied defiantly! “What practice? T believe In no practice.” And then he tok another drink. His appearance was the climax to a noisy, turbulent meeting that began in violent speeches and ended queer dances. It was the first meet- ing of its particular kind in this city. but Secret Service men present vowed there wouldn’'t be many more if they had anything to do with the enforce- ment of the law against seditious speech and action In time of war. Speakers in flowing ties and long hair stood on the platform and de- nounced every institution in sight. A couple of orators were so gener- ally opposed to everything and every- body that they were even inclined to shout “Down with Trotzky and Lenine” because they did not con- sider those Russian extremists to be extreme enough to keep pace with their conception of social revolution. They favored ‘“death” to this and “‘death” to that. They wanted no kind of democracy that would keep the individual chained to any system of law or order, but wanted the in- dividual to be “free, free, free.” Capital government, society, every- thing tainted by the old system of things must perish and only the in- dividual to whom nature, according to the Bolsheviki, had granted pre- Cious, inalienable rights to do what- ever he pleased, should survive. Leonard Abbot of the Goldman- Berkman anarchist group, who pre- sided over the meeting, was the mild- est of the lot. But he was proud to acknowledge his kinship and sym- pathy for the Bolshevikis in Russia, and hailed their trlumph as the be- ginning of the end of the capitalist system all over the world. Charles Sonnenschein raged up and down the platform and gesticulated with his New York, cialists, 1. \W. este of his: 1t in, hands and feet for fully half an hour before he finished with his impressions of society and the world in.general. According to him, most everything in its present state was thoroughly wrong and should be turned inside out as soon as possible. Not one revolu- tion, but three revolutions, he said, ! were necessary to put Russia on the right path, one to overthrow the Czar, another to overthrow Kerensky, | and a third to overthrow whatever ! remained of the old system by con- ! fiscating all property and turning it over to the peasantry. “All this must come and will come,” he shouted. “Lord Lansdowne h: seen the writing on the wall, and has given warning to the governments of Lurope that if they do not cease and bring the war to an end, they will only foster the spirit of revolt, which will them elear out of Hippo Havel, wavinu i paper called he Itevalt' in his hand, concentrated yod portion of his e forts on President Wilson, and his pronounced German accent made the Secret Service men prick up their ears. After he finished, however, Mr. Havel insisted that he was born in Amer habit of pronouncing “V" while being edu- cated in Austria. “Mr. Wilson,” he declared, “was elected on u no-war program. Then he pushed us right into the war. Why did he? Because we must fight for | democracy. And that’s right. And so today he is fighting mit the King of Siam for democracy.” At this juncture several persons the audience started to hiss, some them at the speaker, and some them presumably at the ‘mention President Wilsons name. ' Two girls, who resented the attack upon the president, hissed Mr. Havel's remarks in disgust and then left the room. Havel continued with his tirade. WHEN 1S A WAGON A FRAME BUILDING?

Both City Engineer William H. Hall and Building Inspector Arthur N. Rutherford, desirous of giving Mr. Budde every right possible, visited Corporation Counsel J. E. Cooper and say that his ruling is that the ultimate action of these officials rests upon the question of whether the lunch cart is a “frame structure” or a “wagon’. If it is a “wagon” there seems to be nothing to prevent the owner locating within the fire limits, but if it is " a “frame structure” the ordinance pro- hibits it. The lunch cart is of the well known type, equipped with four wheels, but according to an opinion expressed by the corporation counsel this wagzon celises to become a wagon and becomes in reality a structure as soon as it is connected with the sew- er and with the gas main. Inasmuch as the health department has declined to let Mr. Budde open up for business unti] he has connected his lunch cart with the sewer the owner is as much befuddled as ever for, if the opinion of the corporation counsel is correct, his erstwhile wagon immediately be- comes a frame building. LAUNCH DRIVE FOR 60,000 WAR FUND Polish Pcople to Ralse Money for Re- lief of Members of Polish Legion for Service in France, Tomorrow the Polish residents of this city will launch a campaign to raise $60,000, which fund will be used for the relief of the soldiers of the Polish Legion in France and their dependents. New Britain has already sent ahout 100 Polish men into this foreign legion and many of them have left dependents behind. While it is expected that the Polish people, who already have raised about $3,000 of this fund, will endeavor to wage their campaign primarily among their own people it is expected that the entire fore he can recover from this surprise along comes the building inspector, he states, and declines to issue a permit for him to have his building there on the ground, that it is a frame struc- ture and as such, cannot be main- tained within the fire zone. Shock number three was received by Mr. Budde when he applied to the city en- gineer for permission to connect the wagon with the sewer. He was in- formed that the board of public works could Issue no such permit until the building inspector had given him per- mission to have the lunch cart estab- lished. With his head in a whirl from these varlous orders'Mr. Budde is now at a loss to know what to do, but will probably present a petition at the next meeting of the common council ask- ing permission to locate on Commercial street, basing his argument on the ground that there are at least two city will be asked to co-operate and to this end the War Bureau has sanc- tioned the campaign. Inasmuch as the members of the Polish Legion are not enlisted under the United States government it is impossible for the men to obtain any government benefits, such as war in- surance or other privileges accorded American soldiers. Likewise their pay, which is something like 25 cents per day, is far below that given the American soldier. With these facts in mind. together with the fact that they are all fighting for a common cause, it has been decided that it will be only fair to raise such a bene- fit fund for these volunteers. The campaign will continue through this week and already among the Polish peeple there is widespread en- thusiasm and promise of a gencrous | response. | Chocolate Eclairs, French Pastry and many other baked delicacies.
