War Insurance The opportunity for securing U. government war risk insurance, which is available at low rates, will expire | on February T2, for about three quar- ters of the Connecticut men in the National army. Hundreds of these boys, either through neglect or lack of information, have failed to take advantage of this great opportunity. Th relatives should know the provisions of the war insurance law at once in order that they may urge the soldiers to attend to the matter. This insurance must be applied for within 120 days after entering service. Arrangements have been made wherc b a man’'s relatives and dependents may apply for this insurance, and an application will be accepted on the consent of the man. All applications should be sent to the Treasury depart- ment, Bureau of War Insurance, | Washington, D. C. The local town committee of de- fense will issue pamphlets and post- ers in a few days which will inform the public as to the ways employed in obtaining th war insurance. As the time expires on February 12, the rela- tives and dependents should lose no time in securing the information neccssary. | Berlin Briefs. | A son has been born to Mr. and Mrs. Albert K.

At the meeting of the committees rom Kensington and Berlin streeet fruesday evening, it was voted to ap- hoint a committee which would con- er with the New Britain board, and frrange for some means of protec- on, as this would be the most ad- sable way until the town was di- ded into fire districts.

The Gocben and the Bresls (New York Sun) In May, 1914, two months before the beginning of the war, two war- | ships, the Goeben and the Breslau, | flving the German colors, steamed up the Bosporus and dropped anchor off the Dohma Baghtcheh pler just be- S. llow the Sultan's palace. Turkish officials began immediately to arouse great enthusiasm over the visitors. “Goeben days” and “Goeben fetes” were arranged and all Con- stantinople was <ed to inspect the ships. So unusual was the welcome to these warships that it was ru- mored in the forelgn quarters that the vessels had been bought by the Turkish Government. No one could have been more insistent in denials of this than Enver Pasha, the only person who should actually know the facts of the case. The two ships remained at Con- stantinople, with the exception of the time that they attempted to break out into the Mediterranean, until the Turkish flag was substituted for the German and they were sent out to bombard Russian ports. The Goeben and the Breslau s no more definite purpose than to prove, what is now well known, that the Kaiser had been preparing for war and that he had completed the intrigues that brought Turkey in s Germany’s ally two months before his first declaration of hostilities, is A Lesson Household Economy.
