Owing to the serious international complications and the dark war clouds that hover over the country, Rev. Mr. Hazen has decided to omit any formal exercises this year. At the Churches.

Brown was stabbed in the right hand by Carter and it was necessary to have six stitches | taken to close up the wound. Thh!! morning Brown stated that he has consulted counsel and is contemplat- | ing bringing suit against Carter. ‘ Following the warning issued by Judge Griswold yesterday to the men at the camp, that jall sentences would be meted out to them if they ; appeared before him in the town ! court, Kensington was a quiet place | last evening. Although a number of | men are said to have gotten drunk, | their companions helped them to the camp and no rowdylsm as far as is known has occurred. The town constables have been given orders to see that the Jaw is | obeyed and that peace reigns in Ken- ington. With the addition of thirty men from Plainville to the camp, some lively parties are looked for. No Harmony Here. Since Frank DiVivo of Kensington decided to take a second wife unto ! . his household. His son, Alfonso, im- . mediately following the marriage, | brought suit against his parent to re- cover $3,000 for back wages, claiming i that he had been promised the farm | | upon the death of his father. As ; his parent married, the estate would be left to his spouse. Judge F. B. Hungerford of New Britain was re- tained by young DiVivo to look after his interests. Yesterday, Mrs. DeVivo complained i to Frosecutor Willlam H. Gibney that during an argument concerning the disposition of the estate, Alfonso struck and severely scratched her face. She did not want the young \ man arrested but wanted to have him ! warned not to strike her again. No arrests have been made. i Waiting For Call. Judge Benjamin I Miller, clerk of the district exemption board stated this morning that the list of men to be certified for service has been com- | ! pleted since the middle of October and | the board has since been waiting for orders to call the men into service. { Whether the men will be called be- fore December 15 he could not tell. He said that the board has completed | its work as regards that last 15 per cent. from this district to go to Camp Devens and it was now up to the war | department. | He said that the board was in a predicament as to what men it should ]slun will be on its way 0 to France within a month. He said that the opinion prevails in his company that the soldiers will all be sent across be- fore the spring. Suggenhime FElected President. Max Suggenhime was elected presi- dent of the East Berlin Village Im- provement society at a meeting of the executive committee at the home of Dr. T. Ci Hodgson last evening. Mr. Suggenhime who for many years has | worked faithfully for the welfare of the community was honored with the presidency of the society. The election was unanimous. The | other officers were elected as follows: Vice-president, Mrs. E. P. Cody; sec- retary and treasurer, Dr. T. C. Hodg- son. It was decided at the meeting last night to hold a two nights’ bazar after the Christmas holidays to defray the expense of the electric lights in the village. Berlin Briefs. Postmaster and Mrs. A. B.

Thepe was a large crowd present at the dance given by the Berlin Grange society at the Grange hall on Farm- ington read last evening. A suggestion was made by a prom- inent taxpayer this morning to have Selectman Willard I. Alling fill the holes on Farmington road with wet sawdust. This, he said, would be the cheapest way of repairing tho high- way at present. The sawdust, he stated, would freeze and would fit the emergency. SNOW STORM | Causes Delay in Traffic in Northwest- ern Section of Country. Washington, Dec. 8—Snow through- out the entive northeastern section of the country, accompanied by a cold wave through the middle west and ex- tending southward to the Gulf of Mex- ico was causing some discomfort today and generally delayed movement of traffic, already badly congested by heavy shipments. Continuation of the | send. They did not know whether they should have any colored men or- | dered to colors. There are a number | of colored young men in this district who are eligible for service and wheth- er or not they are to make up part of the remaining quota, Mr. Miller said he did not know. | It is the belief of many that a call { will be issued within the next few { days. Since the questionnaires are to be distributed on December 15 con- siderable trouble would result if the i men already certified to for service | were still at their homes. For this | reason it is thought, the men will be | sent to Camp Devens within the next week. It is also said that a number of soldiers at the camp within the past few days have been transferred to southern cantonments thus making room for the quota that is soon to arrive. It is the belief of many soldiers sta- tioned at Camp Devens that they will he in active service within a very short period.

They are as follows: During the past three years over $600 has been spen’ on the church building itself, both in fix- ing the Interior and exterior, and cn the premises. In front of the church a new cement walk has been laid. The Ladies’ Union hore the experse of having the church floor carpeted and in addition gave $150 towards paying off the mortgage.

Senator La Follette, of Wisconsin, left the senate chamber when the resolution was under debate, and at the time he got back the measure had been adopted. He ex- plained to the senate later that he had not been aware the vote was be- ing taken. London Votes “No.” The house adopted the senate reso- lution by a vote af 363 to 1—Repre- sentative Meyer London, socialist, of New York, standing alone against it Mr. London defended his attitude on the ground that socialists were op- posed to the war. Representatives Chandler, of New York, and Lenroot, of Wisconsin, severely criticised Mr. London’s opposition to the resolution as unpatriotic. In the senate opinions were ex- pressed that Bulgaria and Turkey ought to be included among America’s enemies, but no effort was made to embrace them in the declaration against the Dual Monarchy, because of the president’s contrary advice. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, vaiced the attitude of the majority of congress in saying that, while Turkey enemy alignment, the president’s lead should be followed. resolution against came up for votes against Germany were lacking.

It was on its way to the White House at 4:45 o'clock, and fifteen minutes later was before the president, who signed it. Toward the close of the house ses- sion Miss Rankin tripped down the al!le_ while the galleries listened at- tentively, expecting another anti-war outburst from “the lady from Mon- tana”. Inetead, she declared that the acceptance of the resolution was a mere technicality, and in a voice clear and determined, said that she was prepared to vote for it. “I still believe that war is a stupid and futile way of attempting to scttle international difficulties,”” the woman representative said. “I believe that war can be avoided and will be avoid- ed when 'the people, the men and wo- men in America, as well as in Ger- many, have the controlling voice in their Governments. Today the spe- cial privileged interests are controlling the world. “When the United States declared war on Germany it virtually declared war on Germany’s allies. The vote that we are now to cast is not on the declaration of war. If it were I should vote against it. This is merely a vote ona technicality in the prosecution of the war already declared. I shall vote for this, as I voted for money and men.” Representative Foss. Republican, of Illinois, said he first believed Turkey and Bulgaria should be included in the war declaration, but decided the Presi- dent should not be hampered in his leadership, and that he now believed the House would be criticised as mak- ing an effort to take the leadership if it did not follow the President’s rec- ommendations in his last message.

A Christmas Plea. There never was a time when we needed God's love and Christ's example of self-sacrifice more than we do now with the world in the clutches of war. Every symbol that brings the message of “Love ye one another” home to us should be encouraged and wel- comed in our midst. The Pcople’'s Christmas Tree is emblematic of Christian love, and the people need its inspiring message. Will you help to make its rea- lization possible, as you did in former vears, by making a con- tribution to the Christmas Tree Fund? The smallest amount will be gratefully received for the cause by THE NEW BRITATN HERALD THE NEW RRITAIN RECORD, PETER P.
