CLOTHING CO MUSCULAR TERROR’S PANTS ARE STOLEN Ivan “Kid” Benjamin Goes Home _ From Carnival in Barrel Of all the plights “Kid” Tvan Ben- jamin, the Plainville terror of the wrestling arena, has faced in his voung life that confronting him after a wrestling bout at the Finn Overland carnival last evening was the most embarassing. Somebody stole his pants! Clad in a tight-fitting barrel he wended his way to his gymnasium inelainville. . Prof. Anderson, erstwhile middle- weight champion of the mat and more recently a wrestling instructor at Harvard, offered to take anyone in the crowd on for a go. “T'll give $5 to any man who will last three minutes,” sajd the professor. “You're on," called the the erowd : The professor sized up the dapper youngster who hopped up onto the platform. The “kid"” was robed in his - best suit, topped off with a light fedora. From the size of his the professor issued an ultimatum. “You'll have to go for five minutes, if vou wrestle with me,” said the professor, quick to perceive that he did not have an amateur. The *kid” finally agreed and pass- ing behind the canvass he disrobed, leaving that suit, silk shirt and un- derwear, $10 shoes and the swell Kelly. The bout was a pippin and the epectators cheered on the terror from the adjoining village. five minutes he was still .anA claimed the five spot. #&eturning to the “dressing room’ £ look of consternation spread over his face. The clothing so neatly laid “Kid” from wrestling previously on the chair was disturbed | showed pockets the and then a hasty the pants were gone. In the were $11, a bunch of keys and kid's draft registration card. JThe “kid” did not mind inventory the los of“the money or other articles but the | prospect of going home to Plainville Tminus his trousers sent a cold shiver vp his back. He set up a hue and cry and search was instituted, but all in vain. Whoever took the trouser: made a clean get away. App the thief had lifted the canvas to lift the trousers. Declining offers of graasy overalls or the loan of a yaan the “kid” waited till the crowd thinned out and then hied him to his Thome in Plainville, a sadder but wiser wrestler.

William P. Ladd o' the office of dean of Berkeley divinity school. The bishop calied attention to the decreasing number of applicants for orders, said that the question of filling this gap after the war must be considered, and urged the clergymen to present to their people the claims . of the Christian ministry and the general subject of religious education. One of the ! special duties of the church at this he said was to see that the tual needs of the soldiers and s who may be . stationed in Connecticut are properly cared for, | and that the young women who in increasing numhers are taking up the vork left by the men, must be sur- rounded with all good influences. Tt is estimated he said that at least 2,600 men and more, probably 2,000 or 4,000 from the diocese are in service. Fle said that only fifteen hundred names had been registered so far and urged the clergy to send the names of their parishioners now in service to Rev. Arthur F. Lewis at North Haven for registration. Eleven of the clergy are absent on war work, one of whom, Rev. Parker Vanamese, rector of St. John's church, Essex, has been wounded while in service as a first lleutenant, the first casualty sustained, he added, by any clergy- man of the American church.

He instantly brand- | vd these as lies, as German propagan- | da and said: “On my word as an Aus- | tralian ldier we never have to buy what the Red Cross sends.” He also | explained other work of the Red Cross, such as locating men missing i in action for their relatives, of send- | ing articles to unfortunate prisoners of war and of generally improving the morale of the soldiers by treating | them as human beings. iy “The failures of the past have been | the fault of the civilians behind the army,” the soldier exclaimed. “for the soldiers have done their part and done it well. It is the fault of the civilians behind who are living in a fool's paradise.” He then told of what Germany really has accom- plished in this war, in territorial wains, as compared to the pitiful gains of the Allies and said that for three and one-half years France has been fighting England’s fight, and | America’s fight, but can go on no | longer and now Amer must fight France's battles. America has the raw product, he id, and it behooves her to quickly mould this raw pro- duct into the finished soldier and to herry men and supplies abroad. “The man who will not fight for his country is a slacker and the man or woman who will not give for the Red Cross is also a slacker,” was the stinging rebuke the Australian scldier gave for any who may not fcel inclined to donate. In conclusion he said at the gate and the crisis of this war is rapidly approaching. Remember, gentlemen, America prepared is Ger- many defeated.” FExpenses All Paid. Chairman Rennett explained that the entire expense of this campaign has already been paid by private do- nations and every cent that is con- tributed to the Red Cross this week | will go to the second war fund.

Connecticut Delegates to Attend Atlantic City Convention For the first time in the history of the country, the manufacturers of six of the leading Bastern manufacturing tates, New York, New Jersey, Penr Ivania, Connecticut, Massachuset and Delaware, will meet in conven- tion at the Traymore Hotel, Atlantic City, on June 12, for the purpose of discussing problems intimate re- lated to the war, The convention is manufacturers’ coun New Jersey, the its kind created in the United States and the avowed object of the moet- which will be an all day session, banquet in the evening, is to similar bodies, comprised of manufacturers only, in the five states other than New Jersey, from which the delegates will assemble. The purpose of these councils as is the purpose of the New sey council, to secure the fullest co- aperation of manufacturers, in assist- ing the government in increasing th auiput of essential war industries: providing the government the lahor of which it stands in need, and of otherwise aiding in the speedy win- ning of the war. The leading manufacturers principal cities in each of the states mentioned ahove, have heen invited to send representatives to the con- vention and invitations have been extended to the senators and govern- ors of the states. to the president, to the secretary of war, secreiary of the and other cabinet officers and als of the government depart- ments, directly engaged in securing or producing the supplies needed by the amy and navy, the shipping board and other interrclated activitie called by the il of the state of organization of Wwith cre a e will Jer- of the Call for Convention, The call for the convention, issued by Warren C. King., president of the Manufacturers’ Council of the State of New Jersey, states “The Manufacturers’ Council of the State of New Jersey, since its forma- tion in 1917, has been able to be of service, both to the government and to the manufacturers who are its members; it has succeeded in solving or helping to solve, many problems | directly connected with the prosecu- ! tlon of the war and the effect of the war on the manufacturing indus- try of the statc: its Washington Bu- reau has been so cordially welecomed by government officials and by the departments in Washington, which must have the aid the manufac- turers, that it has seemed fitting there should be invited to the war conven- tion which the Manufacturer's Coun- cil is to hold at the Hotel Traymore, Atlantic City, on June 12, the manu- facturers of other nearby states whose wish to help the government is as- suredly as great as that of the manu- facturers of New Jersey and whose problems are virtually identical. “It is the helicf of those representa- tive manufacturers who comprise the New Jersey council, that the organi- ation of similar bodies in New York Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connec- ticut and Delaware, will be of ma- | terial advantage to the government and of material advantage to the manufacturing intere: of these states. For that reason, the New Jersey council has extended a cordial invitation to the manufacturer of these other states to learn what it has accomplished, to become ac- quained with its object, and to enter into a full and free discussion of the wisdom of the manufacturers of each of these states forming councils of their own. There can be no doubt but that with the completion of the organization of the six state councils to be comprised of manufacturer only, and to be representative of the entire mwnufacturing industry in cach state, who would come together at frequent intervals, a very great deal of good can be accomplished. “I believe that this will lead to the establishment by the several state or ganizations of Washington bureau: which will place at the disposal of the government, the entire manufac- turing resources of the several states, and will ultimately lead to a central organization, or a congress of manu- facturers, which will represent the complete manufacturing interests the nation.” DIES OF PECULIAR MALADY.
