Wendell's Orderly Book, commencing at Albany Apri] 20, 1776, and ending at . Skenesborough Aug. 20, 1776, embraces a period in the Revolutionary history of New York of the utmost importance. Un- der date of July 30, 1776, there is this interesting item about Benedict Ar- nold, a native of Norwich: The general is exceedingly aston- ished and concerned to find such su- pinesess prevajling in the Third bri- gade, stationed at Mount Independ- ence, as if it were a time of profound peace and no enemy to contend with, He is therefore obliged to report to Brigadier General Arnold and the col- onel commanding brigades, and to ev- ery commanding officer of regiments belonging to those brigades, how necessary it is in the present emer- gency for them by their authority and example to inspire all under them with a spirit of emulation in forwarding the work, cleaning the ground and pre- paring to receive the enemy. The troops upon the Mount should be con- vinced by their last year's campaign at Cambridge of the utility of good works. The general trusts they will lose no time in raising them.

He had been ill for a long time, suffering from a nervous trouble at first. Later tuberculosis de- veloped. A few weeks ago Mr, Wil- drick entered the sanatorium, where he hoped to regain his health, but he failed rapidly. Mr. Wildrick is sur- vived by his wife, two small children and his father. He was born at Co- hoes, N. Y., and since residing at New London had been employed as an In- surance canvasser, a clerk and book- keeper. He was a member of Knights of Columbus, holding office for several vears in Seaside council, No. 17. V. P.

Ex-Congressman Hobson Says the Saloonless Nation Will Come in That Time—Had Large Audience to Hear Him at Central Baptist Church—Dr. A. C. Bane Also Spoke I would rather the armies of the world attack this country, defenseless as she is, if it would stop the manu- facture and sale of intoxicant liquor, than have the trafic continue, said ex- Congressman Richmond 'son Hob- son of Alabame in his address in the Central Baptist church on Monday evening upon Destroying the Great Destroyer. ¥ Ex-Congressman Hobson is an ad- vocate of greater military and naval preparedness and of national prohibi- tlon of the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors, and is appearing in Connecticut to plead the temperance cause, beginning a campaign that is intended reach centers of 75 per cent. of the population of Connecticut. Assogiated with him in this anti-drink campalgn i Dr. A. C. Bane. The Anti-Saloon league, & national organ- izatlon working for a prohibition amendment to the national constitu- tion, is paying for the Connecticut campaign. The meeting was held under the au- spices of the W, C. T. U. and the at- tendance numbered over 300. A few minutes after 8 o'clock the meeting was called to order by Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D., pastor of the church. Suspended from the choir loft hung an American fleg adorned with a large white ribbon bow, em- blematic of the Woman's Christian Temperance union. Dr. Howe Introduced Speakers. Dr. Slocum read as the scripture selection the 15th Psalm and then of- fered prayer. The singing of America followed, and Rev. Samuel H. Howe, D. D. pastor of Park Congregationai church, took the chair.” In his brief address Dr. Howe said that while the countries of Burope, Teuton, French and Slav, were taking steps to abolish the drink evil, it is humiliating that the two great English-speaking na- tions of the world are hanging in the rear. The conscience of the world, he continued, is aroused over the drink question, and it is the duty of all who love the human race and who are in- terested in the upbuilding of the race to take their stand. Dr. Bane Described Anti-Saloon League. Dr. Howe then introduced as_the first speaker Dr. A. C. Bane. Dr. Bane in an earnest, straightforward manner told of the purpose and ideals of the Anti-Saloon league, and told in graphic language of the fight being waged against the powerful liquor interests. In his opening words Dr. Bane said it gave him great pleasure to face such a gathering and said that it was ep- parent that one reason why the people turned out could be traced to the little white ribbon ‘which he noticed in the audience. Continuing, he said: The greatest battle ever seen is now being waged against liquor, the great- est robber of the toiler's wages, the greatest waster of the nation’s wealth and the greatest corruptor of politics. There is only one thing worse—the public sentiment which permits it. It is a part of 20th century Christianity to cut out the manufacture and sale of liquor. This crusade has_developed into a great national issue. The Amer- ican people have at last opened their eyes to the fact that the great nation- al evil should receive a national rem- edy. Dr. Bane spoke of the prohibition amendment and of the great progress that is being made. He also described the vote in congress last December and said the question of national prohibi- tion was brought to a vote in spite of the strenuous work of the liquor in- terests. Dr. Bane told about the big print- ing plant of the Anti-Saloon league, working six days a week and 24 hours aday. It turns out daily 2,000,000 book pages of temperance literature. More funds will enable more printed matter, for which there is great demand, to be circulated. The liquor traffic has millions to back up its defense, while we hd%e only the mites of the people, said Dy Bane. When the issue of slavery ar Connecticut sent tens of thousands of her sons to_the front and thousands never came back. You are not called upon to sacrifice your sons; you are called upon to save your sons and your country. Dr. Bane said he believes Connecticut will do her share in this great work. He said the object of their visit was two-fold: First, to quicken public conscience and awaken public opinion, so that the federal government shall be forced to relinquish its business dealings with the liquor interests. Secondly, to secure funds necessary to carry on this enormous campaign. We must organize in every district, we must meet the liquor interests in their own territory. They are spending mil- lions in their last stand, and have even written in their magazines this state- ment: “We see the handwriting on the wall. Our doom is pronounced.” We, the Anti-Saloon league, need the ablest men to speak in this campaign, and all this needs funds. We are to build publishing houses and print :the truths about liquor in 20 different lan- guages. The liquor treffic cannot stand the light, and we are going to turn the searchlight of truth on their dark dealings. Dr. Bane said the progpects were never better. He even alserted they were no longer prospects, but an abso- lute certainty. In Five Years. He believed that in five yvears time we will write “Prohibition” in our constitution. Last July 1 there were only nine prohibition - states after years of labor. Up to January 1 we had 14, Since January 1 nine more states have joined the movement. You cannot defeat National prohibition. he said. The American people have made up their minds to save their people by defeating the great destrover. - By January 1 of next year Dr. Bane said that 85 per cent. of our territory will be prohibition territory, and 60.000,000 people will be living in prohibition territory by their own vote. Pledge cards for contributions were then passed around by the ushers and many were returned signed. Applause For Hobson, ‘While awaiting the arrival of Con- gressman Hobson. Onward Christian Soldiers was sung. As Congressman Hobson appeared on the platform he wag greeted with a thunderous burst of applause and everyone to a man rose from his seat as a mark _of recognition to the _distinguished speaker. He was introduced by Rev. Dr. Howe who referred to his gallant conduct at the Battle of Santiago and also of the wave of admiration and patriotism that swept the country when the news of the battle became public, The speech ‘which Congressman Hobson delivered has been printed and scattered broadcast through the country. He has a wonderful grasp of the awful facts concerning the growth of the liquor trafic. His de- livery is sincere and quiet, vet he covntry. His remarks are not based on Learsay, but are the results of careful culllng of statistics of this and other countries. He with an explanation of the chemicgl ana- lysis of liguor.

Mr. Hobson gave muoch attention to the physical and moral effectd of alcohol. follow. the use He scored both great political parties, which he sald were largely domin- atod by the liquor interests and the newspapers, which would not, he al- leged print the truth which sclence had revealed concerning the ravages of liguor. “Alcohol,” he sald is a waste pro Sluct thrown off by the chemical a on. Alcohol numbs the nerves, it pro- duces anesthesia, it _ stupifies the brain, it is naturally alluring. The next day comes depression and the victim resorts to more alcohol. The more g man drinks, the more his ability to be a man weakens. There are more than 4,000,000 heavy drinkers in this country, and more than 1,000,000 drunkards. Every year in this country there is $8,000,000,000 lost in efficlency; a loss more than equal to that caused by the great European war for a rel- ative period of time. Liquor is unscrupulous. It buys up the denegrade vote it has created. It divides power ‘with government. Liquor today has a greater strangle hold on our government than ever slavery had. Degeneracy overthrows government. It was degneracy which caused the downfall of Greece, of Rome. It is the growing increase of the degen- erate vote which will cause the down- fall of our liberties if not checked and obliterated. He eniarged on the effects of drink- ing on the individual and on the children of those who drink. Give Our Youth a Chance. Show me the man who drinks, he said, and tell me how much he drinks a day and I will tell you how long he is to live. Statistics never fail, at least that is the consensus of opinion of the ages. ™ The man who defies na- ture’s day must suffer. You can't es- cape it. A man may be reckless of his own life, but he has no right to be reckless of the lives of others. It will not avail us anything to stop the “old drinker” from his awful habit. Give the coming generation and the youth of our nation a chance to de- velope as is their inherent right. It is our supreme duty to destroy in the shortest possible time the traf- fic—this millstone about our necks— and_the necks of our children to come. We must insure that hereafter the young must grow up sober. National Prohibition. Captain Hobson described the vote on his amendment in the house December 22, 1914. He said the liquor forces, led by the house lead- ers of both great parties, aided and abetted by the liquor interests, of- fered cunningly devised amendments to nulify the amendment. Finally when the vote came to submit the amendment to the state it has a majority of eight, but not the nec- essary {wo thirds. He told of his contest for election for senator from Alabama, in which he was defeated. He said the liquor interests worked against him, and that even the demo- cratic party organization was against him. The congress to convene in De- ember next was not elected on a fnagional prohibition issue, he said, Bt the one to be chosen in 1916 PN@uld be. There would be an or- spnization in every congressional Pglstrict and would-be candidates Would be questioned closely as to Doy they stood on the issue of na- ‘tfomal prohibition. } & majority of the republican party is dry; a majority of the democratic party is dry, but the liquor interests control_both parties, Mr. Hobson made reference to his poiitical future. He said the poli- ticians of Alabama declared him cagi, politically. “I had rather be k politically,” he said, “than to in my dut, Prolonged applause greeted him at the conciusion of his speech. TROLLEYMEN CONSIDERING NEW SCHEDULE. Higher Pay and Better Working Con- ditions in Their Plan. The Amalgamated Association of Electric Railway Employes conducted a special session at New London Mon- day morning, when members of the union, comprismg the employes of the New London lines, East Lyme and Montville branches, convened for the purpose of discussing a new schedule to be submitted within a few weeks to the officials of the road. The new schedule, besides providing for better working conditions, it is understood, also seeks obtaining an increase of wages. Another meeting will be held before the schedule is forwarded to the New Haven officials. CHANGE OF POSTMASTERS. New London Office Will First Be Turn- ed Over to Inspector. Mayor Bryan F. Mahan did not as- sume his duties as postmaster at New London Monday as he had planned, but according to Postmaster John McGin- ley, the taking over of the duties of the office by Mr. Mahan will be within a few days. The reason for the failure of Mr. Mahan to enter upon his new duties fsthe fact that Postmaster Mc- Ginley has‘requested the treasury de- partment at Washinston to send an in- spector to take charge of the transfer of the business of the office The business has increased about 60 per cent. during Postmaster McGinley’s term and he is desirous of the trans- fer being made through an inspector before he relinquishes his duties.

A change from the musical comedy productions took place on Monday at the Auditorium when three vaudeville acts were presented as the biil for the first half of the week, the bill were the Four English Palace Girls in a very novel singing and danc. ing act.

Asscmble in Hartford Today—Election as Delegate to Natlonal Convention Conceded to Rev, W. A. Kesfe, The annual session of the state council of the Knights of Columbus, to which J. Edward Driscoll and He¥- ry D. Buckley are delegates and John M. Lee and Willlam P, McGarry al- ternates from White Cross council, No, 13, of this city, is to be held in Hartford today (Tuesday). In the morning the Knights will as- semble at Hotel Garde at 8.30 and march to St. Poseph’s cathedral where mass will be celebrated at 9 o'clock. After the mass the delegates _ will march to Foot Guard armory and the state council will open at 10.30. Mayor Joseph H. Lawler will welcome the delegates.. The session will be con- tinuous, until business is completed. Contest Predicted. A special dispatch from Hartford to the New Haven Journal-Courler says: fcre than common interest is felt in Knights of Columbus circles throughout the state in the state con- vention to be held here Tuesday, for while to all intents the purpose of the convention is to elect ‘state offi- cers and state delegates to the na- tional convention of the order to be held in Seattle the first week of Au- gust, there is a deep underlying con- fllet which is Dbeing kaged the campaign for the election of delegates, One of these factions which will will nominate John F. Callahan as delegate for Hartford district, is lined up against the faction which believes that a man interested in the liquor business should not dominate councli! matters in the city and dis- trict. The candidate opposing Mr. Callahan will be William W. Collins of the same city, navigator of the fourth degree and endorsed by three or_four councils of Hartford. Wwilliam J. Mulligan of Thompson- ville, state deputy since 1910, is the only candidate for that office, and is conceded reelection. The present state secretary, John Phillips of this city, is in the race for reelection against Philip Smith of New Britain, a_strong candidate, and pop- ular in the order. J. F. Collins of New London, state treasurer, will re- tire voluntarily from that office, and James Boylan of Middletown has been suggested as a likely candidate to take his place. The candidate who will run against ‘William Troy of New Britain, the pres- ent state warden, is M, F. Dwyer of Putnam, who was defeated by Mr. Troy two years ago, Five delegates to the national con- vention are to be named by the state convention, and there are a dozen or more candidates for the offices. Rev. William A. Keefe of Plainfield, state lecturer of the order, is conceded to have a unanimous election. He has given his labor and time unselfishly for the good of the order, and this is considered a small enough tribute for energy expended HOBSON TELLS BOYS TO DEVELOP THEIR CHARACTERS Prepare for Battle of Life—Guest at Y. M. C. A. Banquet. “The reason the Spaniards were de- feateq in the battle of Santiago harbor was that they were not prepared and the Americans were,” said Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson, ex-con- gressman from Alabama, at the ban- quet held in his honor by the Y. M. C. A. on Monday evening, and, making practical application of this statement, he urged the 60 boys present to be prepared for the battle of life by de- veloping their characters. The banquet was served at Mabrey’s, the menu being as follows: Escalloped Oysters, Cold Roast Beef. Cold Boiled Ham, Potato Salad. Veal Loaf. Rot Rolls. Ice Cream. Cake. Coffee. Seated at the head table were Cap- tain. Hobson, Dr. A. C. Bane, who is accompanying Captain Hobson on his temperance campaign, James L. Case, president of the Y. M. C. A, General Secretary Edwin Hill, Boys' Secretary J. H. Ely, Physical Director Orville H. Nickerson and A. H. Chase, whose guest ex-Congressman Hobson is while in_town. President Case was toastmaster,and, after Wis open ng remarks, introguced Drn -Bane, wh> was greSted with a hear(y outburs: of applause. Dr. Bage asked the boys what their plans for the fugpre were and what the underlying otive is that is prompting their pians. He said he feared that the underlying motive for the lives of the majority of people is the motive of securing mon- ey. The underlying motive of every- one’s life ought to be, Where can I render the best service? There are two qualities that enter into real ser- vice. The first is character, for man must have character. The second is efficiency. You cannot render efficient service if you become addicted to the use of alcohol. Dr. Bane said there are two things that stand in the way of a boy seeking a position, and they are cigarettes and intoxicants. There is no place in the world for either. American Boys’ Possibilities. Captain Hobson was next introduced by President Case and a thunderous burst of applause was given him as he took the floor. Captain Hobson spoke of the marked difference between the possibilities of the American boy com- pared with the possibilities of the boys of other lands. These privileges: of American citizenship carry with them definite responsibilities, and the Amer- ican boy must live up to them. The speaker suggested a method for the boys to follow in shaping their lives. After mapping out your plans, he said, proceed to carry them out, and never cease working until they are carried out. He then caught the undivided atten- tion of every boy present by relating several of his exciting adventures dur- ing the Spanish war, and also told of a visit he received from the commander in chief of the Spanish navy, while he was a prisoner, and of how he later repaid the visit when the Spanish commander in turn was made a prison- er by the Americans. The reason the Spaniards were defeated was because REIR &. HUGHRS.

Applying this principle to the boys' lives, he urged them to be prepared for the bettles of life by developing their character. If you want to develop character you must exercise the brain. Captain Hobson said that character can never be developed by the use of intoxicants and in his closing words he urged the boys to join the nation-wide move- ment to abolish the saloon. At the close of his talk three hearty cheers were given with a will for both speakers.
