Taxpayers 10 the sowthwestern soo- tion of the clity are justified in their request for a flre engine hovse, & mat- ter that will be oonsidered thls yenr by the board of fluance and taxation. Hundreds of homes are now without sufficient protection and thousands of dollare’ worth of property 1 open to an increassd fire haxmrd For a number of years propurty owners in thai part of the city have appesled for an engine house but the appeal has always been denied on the ground of municipal ecanomy. The southwestern section can no longer be classified as & settlement; it is an in- tegral pant of the city proper and should be considered as such, At present, the only fire station south of the rallroad tracks that bi- sect, the aity is located on Elm street. This station serves that immediate vicinity but it is hardly adequate to protect the business establishments and homes that form a connecting link with the extreme outskirts on Shuttle Meadow avenue. It was be- lieved wnen New Britain disposed of horse drawn fire apparatus that mo- tor engines would preve to be an effi- substitute for the southwest With the growing direction this policy has {o be weak and untenable and acious fire station city in th prove logical soluticn to the situa- tion today the construction of a engine house and the installation of a fire company. the only is permanent The city is equipped with appara- part of which could be placed in the new bullding, thus making it un- necassary to purchase more motors. JOIN THE RED CROSS. All America will agree with Pres- ident Wilson’s words appealing for a universal! membership for the Red Cross. This orgauization did more to win the wear than any other factor, the military forces excluded. With- out the Red Cross, casualties would bave been higher; suffering would have illimttably greater; peace ot the battlefield and at home would hawe been reduced to a mld:lnum Whether easing physical pain in the front line or alleviating mental angulsh in the soldiers’ homes, the Red Cross performed iis work nobly and should recsive the support of everyone who Las arrived at the age of reason. Why we should rally around the standard of the Red Oross, le olo- guently told by President Wilson: The exact nature of the future service of the Red Cross will de- pend upon the program of the associated governments, but there is immediate need today for every heartening word and for every helpful service. We must not forget that our soldiers and our sailors are still under orders and still have duties to perform of the highest consequence, and that tho Red Cross Christmas membership means a great deal to them. The people of the sad- dened lands, moreover, returning home today where there are no homes must have the assurance that the hearts of our people are with them in the dark and doubtful days ahead. Let us, so far as we can, help them back to faith in mercy anc in future hap- piness. heen mind on THEY HELD THE LINE. the of the Navy Department can- Even testimony Secretary els of not to the task performed the United States Marine Corps in Alles their by restoring and flight that w White Flag their knees to offensive the the to the in starti Huns on as not to end until the crew came crawling Foch his report on the on Marshal hegging for peace.
