"“The only reason France was ible to make any stab at all was be- tause she had prepared herself,” he, said. “Without preparedness.on the part of France, Germans would have entered Paris as they did in 1870 and the same humiliating circum- stances might have been repeated. France learned a great lesson during the Franco-Prussion war when she had t6 pay a large ransom to Ger- many in order to reelase Paris from Prussian control.” Belgium Also Prepared Belgium, too, was prepared, said Col. S8eymour. That is, prepared, as far as the number and fitness of her men was concerned. She put up a fight, but lost out in the matter of guns. Germany's guns were 80 much larger and there were 30 many more of them that the Belgians had little show against them:. “We pat ourselves on the back for our work in the world war” he sald, “but thousands of lives would | have been saved if we had been pre- | pared.” He safd that if we had been able to get into the thick of the struggle right away without having to wait for the wherewithal to do %0, things might have been different, Same In Other Wars The jack of preparedness of this country was traced by the speaker as far back as the Revolution. In that struggle, Washington, he said, complained of the unfitness. of his troops and the lack of trained men 1# Washington had had trained men and An army prepared in every de- tall, the war might have been over in two years, or even one.

Physical Condition The war taught oue other lesson, he said, the lack of physical fitness among the men of the United States. It was found, upon examination of the men in time of war that only 40 or 45 per cent were physically pre- |pared to enter conflict. Great Brit- ain was in an even worse state. Out |of every nine men, three were well equipped physically, to enter the army.

Figures complled this morning by the committee in charge revealed the fact that 67 women signed their names to the roll while 257 men had attached their signa- tures. The committee had expected that about 1,000 citizens would re- port to the tent on Central Square and there sign their names to the document., The fact that the en- tire affair was a new innovation way have had something to do with the small number of signatures ob- tained and it is thought that if an- other such day s obaerved next year and similar plans are followed out many more will attach their names to the roll. 8. 8. Gwillim presided at the pa- triotic exercises held at the' com- munity theater in the evening. About 25 people were present. The small attendance was accounted for because of the fact that many local residents attended the exercises either in New Britain or Bristol, where parades were held and pub- lic gatherings staged. Rev. C. 8. Wyckoff was the prin- cipal speaker of the evening and dwelt at length on morality being essential to a nation's success. His address was well received by the listeners.
