She said that the Poles the Itall as well as other foreigners, nced the help of American people in assisting them to become Americanized. She also de- clared that with women abandoning their homes to work ¥n munitions ictories, children needing more guid- e and the charities and corrections titutions having a wider range of ivitjes, to say nothing of the in- cost of living, there are ne ON. of made is re is thin 1sed be ar other work the rican and parently the ) Ar ns, reased and heretofore unknown social prob- lems facing the country and they must be met .

AGAINST GERMAN MACHINE | Capt. Keene Will Recite Experiences His Huns—Rally Tonigh.t. Incident to Advancement Against One of the most thrilling stories of | war experiences is that which Captain | Loui Keene, an invalided Canadian | officer, will tell at the Liberty Loan | and patriotic rally this evening in the | Center Congregational church. As a | private in the first overseas expedi- tionary force Captain Keene soon ac- quitted himself with such valor that he won promotion. Up through the company ranks he went until, finally, at Verdun, he so valorously led his company after the commanding offi- | cers had been killed off, that he was rewarded with a commission. Cap- tain Keene was wounded, but still he led on against the Hun horde. In nearly three years of stiff fighting in some of the most important points on sectors he experienced the force of the German blows. Month in and month out in the trenches, frequently participating in raids in No Man's Land he faced the hardships and took part In what little enjoyment could be secured under such ominous con- ditions. Life in Blighty and behind the lines fell to his lot, so that those who hear him this evening will enjoy a rare treat. It is expected that an audience that will tax the church to its capacity will greet him. A few tickets are still obtainable from Treas- urer Frederick S. Chamberlain or from William L. Hatch. A few may be obtained at the Herald office. The Hon. A. J. Sloper will preside and A. R. Sexton of Hartford will make an addr There will be pa- triotic music. The committee in charge hopes that there will be a large attendance.
