. . 5. GRABUATES HEAR WAR TALKS (Continued from First of Hartford. “Star-Spangled Banner”— Chorus, Orchestra, ('lass and Audience 1iecessional March. Four minute speeches by jrollow Pag of 1018, peech by Miss Graham. “We are met here to think what we can do to save the from tyranny and wmake it safe democracy. “You all know the merits of this grepgt democratic machine, our gov- ernment. This great organization which makes it possible for us to live in our own way, which makes it ossible for us to have attended the ligh school. Think of what it all leans. about world for MISS MAISTE GRAHAM. Four-Minute Speaker. Now that this has ts shoulder to the wheel, chaimpion of rightcousness and arming itself against the terrors the world, it asks us. each and every one to be an American patriot. To be a patriot you must sacrifice some- thing! A patriot is one who loves his country and zealously supports its authority and interests. ““As a means to attain our great end of winning this war, our govern- ment must have funds with which to worlkk. So it asks us to buy Liberty Ponfls. This doesn’t mean we are to give our money but rather tosiean it at interest. Someone through-ignor- ance might say, I had rather be sure of mv money and have it in cash. But think; the maoney you hold now is made by the same government that makes the Liberty Bonds. If your Libérty Bonds are of no value neither is.'the money, you hold. But the money you hold is slacker money and you are slackers for holding it Tnited States Liberty Bonds are the best in tment in the world and fer the hest securities, “Think what aur means to a tired wérld., Think what it means as re- gards our duty to our Adopt what Abraham Lincoln government is position now and careworn words that immediately apply to us. “Three years. and eleven months ago Germany brought into this world a mew theory, she is conceived in might and dedicated to the supersti- tion of German Kultur. Now we are engaged in this world war testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. “Now we are met this war. We are met to deditate our lives to that ideal of those who gave their lives that this nation might live. It is altogether and proper we should do this. “The government doesn’'t ask us to dedicate the lives of those who died that we might live, we couldn’t do that, .to the struggle for human liberty which they began. The city will little note the things we say here this morning, but it will long remember the) things we do here! Let us say that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in n; that this nation shall Ced. have a new birth of freedom; and that the government of the by the people and for the pgople shall not perish from the earth. “Our honor to our ancestors should sprompt us to do all we can. But far greater than t duty is our 10 own boys in France. If any of you herc who have sons or Drothers fizhting “over there” should find that died hecause he lacked s0mMe Necessar implement of war which circumstance occurred through the lack of funds, wouldn't you feel zuilty?

Speech By Cornelius Prior. “In the latter part of July 1914, the diplomats in the various Euro- pean countries were doing their best to avert the war which seemed to be coming, every effort of theirs, how- ever, was in vain for the German military war heel had been lowered upon Europe and so on August 1, 1914, we have the opening of hos- tilities. “The Huns fearing and respecting nothing destroyed Belgium and start- ed into France.

The mall fist of German militarism struck a hard solid battlefront of French and Belgians. TFrom then on the war progressed and the number of na- tions on the side of the allies grew. Little by little the United States was dragged from its pedestal of neutral- ity into the deep turmoil of war. On April 6, 1917, we, the people of the ited States through our President nd our Congress accepted the taunt- ing challenge of Prussianized mili- tarism and we declared war upon the German nation in order to win victory for ourselves and allies and in order to uphold the principles and ideals of that democracy which we tions, and which we all hope some day be the realized hope every nation upon this earth. “Now that we are at war we are fighting everything, German. We have three purp in view: to pros- ecute this war to a victorious end. 2nd, to stamp out forever the seeds of autocracy from the world, and, 3rd, to show all nations what demcc- racy means and stands for and that of the world. “The declaration of war on April 6, 1917, was the most momentous act ever taken by the American people. On that day the entire policy of the nation was changed. A non-military peace loving nation decided to ac- cept the chalienge of the world’s most skilfull and most unscrupulous military power. “What has this change meant? “It means, in order that this gov- ernment may prosecute this war to a successful finish and to exterminate forever the seeds of autocracy and its co-vices, it must have mon To this end the government is presenfing to vou, my fellow citizens, the oppor- tunity to become active particlmu\tal will of NEW BRITAIN GEORGE WELLS, Class Treasurer.

S. War Savings Stamps. “What shall be said to persuade the man who has not yet bought War Savings Stamps to go out now and buy them. “Docs he want secufity? “Take a map of the United States; every city from New York to San Francisco on the Pacific 3000 miles away, and from New Orleans to Min- neapolis is the property of the United States Everything that is in this territery, land, houses, animals, stocks bonds, factories and every imaginable industry is pledged to make good these War Savings Stamps. The great cities of the east, the rich fertile centers of the west, the over wealthy cities of the Paciflc, are all placed at vour disposal as security. *It takes little imagination to real- ize the practical value of a hond of the U. S., with security value back of . but it takes a little more imagina- tion for us, dwelling here in peace and safety to realize why these bonds should he bought, apart from the fact that they are the safest invest- ment for money in the world. “If there is one thing easy to do it's finding reasons for investing in Thrift and War Savings Stamps. “To begin with there are than 700,000 reasons in khaki there’. “There are millions of equally good reasons in training at cantonments in the U. S. A “There of reasons in blue and white on bat- tleships, destroyers and other war craft reeping ocean lanes clear of U-boats. “There are thousands ef reasons flying through the air. They are the aces which will play the deuce with Hun acrial forces. “There are as many reasons as there are stars on service flags in the millions of American homes. “But we should remember that money is power. The gold dollar of softest vellow metal can be changed to the hardest steel that plerces ar- mor plates of enemy battleships or machine guns that mow down the advancing foe. Do you hear that more “over bomb bursting in a German trench? | Do you see fragments of bodies fly- ing in the air? Do you see that ma- chine in the air, flying over the Ger- man trenches? And do vou hear the rattle of the machine gun fighting off an enemy flier? Do you see .the watcher sending by wireless the mes- sages, correcting marksmanships to our gunners below. “That machine is flying with YOUR money. That quick firing gun, han- dled by a young filer sends bullets that were once your dollars. Your dollars are the fighting material and who would not gladly put his money to work fighting for This country? Men are giving up their lives by the thousands so that the world may be saved from the clutches of the Hun. “They receive no interest, no princi- pal for their lives, but they give their lives because it is their duty. “Therefore, buy War Savings Stamps on this the 28th day of June, honor your country and yourself, de- serve the continued freedom that you now enjoy and help to preserve the democratic institutions of this great List of Graduates.
