AN AMERICAN WITHOUT A HYPHEN ‘Washington Believed in the Possibilities of the United States, Said Rev. Joel B. Slocum, in His Sermon Sunday— Characteristics That Made Washington a Typical American. ‘Washington was an American with- out a hyphen, sald Rev. Joel B. Slo- cum, D. D, in his sermon at the, Central Baptist church Sunday morn- ing. The sermon was appropriate to the spirit of the season, as the anni- versary of Washington's birth falls on Tuesday. Following his preliminary remarks, Rey. Dr. Slocum said: Washington believed in the possi- Dbilities of this land and he had confl- dence enough in the people of the colonies to belleve that they could govern themselves without any help from England or Et There was no string attached to his loyalty and no hyphen that connected him with the fatherland. He was a typical American_and there are certain out- standing qualities of his character that are worthy of emphasis on this day when in ‘Washington was patriotic. Patriot- ism is love of devotion to one's coun- try. It is the spirit that prompts one to obey the laws of country; to sup- port and defend its existence, its rights and its institutions and to give one's self to the promotion of its wel- fare. The difference between Washington and some other patriots is that he put a fortune into this country and they have taken fortunes out. Though a born aristocrat, he was essentially @ man of the people. His 3 3 democracy of spirit lzid the founda- tion for & republic whose citizens should not be fettered by class dis- tinction. ‘Washington was noted for his valor. At 21 he was appolnted a commissioner on a delicate and important. er- rand. "Ho ‘was sent to remonstrate with the French and Indlan aggressors in Ohio. He was so successful that he was promoted to the position of lieutenant colonel of the Virginia regi- ment of six companies. At 23 he be- gan to assist General Braddock in the Indian wars, and there he made him- self famous. There is a little group of character- istics which should be mentioned in any eummary of his life, however gen- eral it may be. He was self reliant (though he had a fortune He depended upon his own personal energles), sys- tematic, painstaking in regard to every detail of his work, thorough, persistent, aggressive, strong willed but obedient to authority, filled with good judg- ment and common sense, thoroughly informed about a great many things, an organizer of unusual ability, a natural leader of men, a strategist in war and a statesman in government. But above everything else the char- acter of Washington was religious. He recognized God and depended on Him for guidance and help. He was strict in his attendance upon all his religious duties. He never thought he could get along without God.

There is much local interest in the arrest of Alec Harrington, who was bound over to the superior court un- der bonds of $500 in the.New London police court on the charge of fraudu- lent transactions in that city. Alec Harrington came to this city about one year ago, bringing with him a woman whom he claimed was his common-law wife. This is the woman who was arrested in Water- bury with Dr. Pareant, under the name of Mrs, Jennie Pareant. For a time_after their arrival in Norwich the Harringtons stopped at the Wau- regan House, but later moved to rent- ed apartments in Norwich Town, a suburb. Harrington at that time claimed to be an inventor, and in fact ran a small plant at Montyille, where {he manufactured a special sizing for paper according to one of his alleged formulas. It was In Norwich Town that Dr. Pareant made his appearance, and became very chummy with the Har- ringtons. Harrington indorsed much of Pareant’s paper and they weré on the best of terms apparently when, on Dec. 18, the doctor and Harrington's alleged wife disappeared together. The first news of it was obtained througza the press, as Harrington went to the newspapers to complain, and did not bother with the police. He was very excited and exhibited a letter from his wife which stated that she and the doctor were to take the next boat for Europe. Harrington started at once for New York, where he claimed he went to get revenge on the doctor, whom he hoped to intercept at the pler. He did not meet him. Then came a suspicious occurrenca Harrington and two of his_sons by his real wife, in Brooklyn, N. Y., re- turned to Norwich by automobile in the early morning of Sunday, Dec. 26. They sought out-of-the-way roads and approached the house in Norwichk Town through backyards, finally_en- tering it through a cellar door. It is thought they desired to obtain some- thing from the house, and get it out way without anyone knowing they had been In the town. The stalling of their car in the deep mud, however, led to their_discovery by the local police, and Harrington was then _arrested, charged with passing fraudulent checks. Harrington was arraigned in city court next day, but the charge was not substantiated. When released he left Norwich and was not heard of again until he appeared in Waterbury soon after the arrest of Dr. Pareant, and the woman called Mfs. Jennie Pareant. It is the belief of merchants and others in Norwich who have met Har- rington and the so-calied Pareants that they have worked together, and that all the supposed trouble between them has been a blind. This bellef is strengthened by the fact that Harring- ton, though he made great- statemenis that he would settle all the debts in- curred by the Pareants, has not done so. Among the check deals which Har- rington is sald to have figured in this city are the following: Wauregan House, $7; Manhattan Clothing com- pany, $80: James C. McPherson com- Fo, $50; Plaut-Cadden company, 5. It is alleged that Harrington has a wife and four sons in Brooklyn, N. Y., but it is stated that he has not lived with his wife in 10 years. Property Changes Hands. P. J. Battersby has purchased from Chas. A. Pyne, through A. W. Coit, the attractive bungalow No. 136 West Thames street, the house Is a com- paratively new one, having all modern improvements. There is a garage and the lot has a street frontage of 75 feet. Mr. Batte Yy expecs to occupy the house about April 1.

Continuing his series of sermons on The Ten Commandments, Rev. Myles P. Galvin preached at St. Patrick’ church Sunday on the secenth com mandment, Thou shalt not steal, con- sidering with it the ninth command- ment, since the former has to do with the act and the latter with the thought of appropriating or injuring the property of another. Having made plain the teaching of the Roman Catholic church the right of private ownership of prop- erty, Rev. Father Galvin considered principally the more common sins against the seventh commandment— stealing, retaining property found, the case of merchants who cheat by mis- representing g0ods, overcharging, false weights or measures, and those per- sons_who dishonestly contract debts which they cannot or will not pay. Some emphatic things were eald about the bad debtor, in particular, and in plain terms the teaching of the church in the matter of the absolute necessity of making restitution in cases of dishonesty was set forth. Preceding the sermon, the rector of the parish, Rev. John H. Broderick, spoke briefly regarding the obligation of his people to aid the Catholic Wom- an’s club in its efforts for the parish poor and orphans. There have been many and unusual calls for assistance of late, due to bad weather, sickness, etc., and the fund for the por !s near- Iy exhausted. The club depends upon the annual charity ball to_replenish this fund, and Father Broderick ex- pressed the hope that all his people would aid the club memRers in making this social affair an especial success.

At the Spiritual Academy on Park street, Sunday evening, Mrs. May Pe per-Vanderbilt of Brooklyn, N. ¥ gave a lecture Is the Religion of the Past Responsible for the Present War in Europe. This is the greatest subject of the day, said the speaker, and one that everyone is deeply interested in. The great slaughter of the flower of man- hood in Europe. It is not more than natural at this time that it is ques- tioned if there is a God and why does He permit such a war. Never in this world has there been an effect with- out a cause. And looking over the stride of man's civilization from the first we find that the twentieth century has more thought along achievements and inventions than ever before. We will not struggle with the mysterious past for we know from the first when man came out of the cave his stride has been wonderful, though marked with blood and carnage. Before we think of man any further let us look at a mighty oak tree just blooming with the promise that spring is coming, the blossoms, then the acorns which fall off, some take root and grow, while others don't. So it is with the human life and a time comes for reaction and a thinning out. The men of Europe have been led afang and when kingdoms reign in love and harmony there will be no war. Continuing she said: What does all this war mean? It is a result and when men find themselves there will be no more war. There is only one thing in the Christian living that ail denominations will agree on and that is the life and teachings of Christ. Christ's body died at Calvary but his teachings live on and will live on as before. The day of peace is near at hand, the democratic rule and the birth of republics for man. This is the last of the great wars and the downfall of the prominent countries in the Buro- pean struggle. America stands out as a beacon iight and for every pound of powder we will receive in kind. War § almost at our door, a great indus- al war and we must pay the pen- alty of such things. Oh let not the day for the dollar bring sadness to our brethren. Following her address Mrs. Vander- bilt communicated with ones in_ the audience with spirits of the dead. GREAT RESERVE FORCE OF CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS. Suggested in Address by Major Gen- eral Wood to Y. M. C. A. Audience. New York, Feb. 20.—Major ‘General Wood, U. 8. A., commander of the de- partment of the east, in an address here today before the West Side Young Men’'s Christian Association, urged the establishment of a great re- serve force of Christian soldiers for the defense of the country, which would tend to make us “a united peo- ple of all creeds and nationalities.”” He saig that all religious bodies similar to the Y. M. C. A. should send repre- sentatives to the volunteer training camps at Plattsburgh, N. Y., and else- ‘where. If a man accepts his right to vote, General Wood added, he is under a moral obligation to brepare himself for the defense of his coun- try. He declared that all talk about pre- paredness making us a nation of “balls and militarists” was nonsense. As for the army and navy, he said, we want only enough men In uniform to do the police work of the country and its possession and the ordinmary rou- tine of peace. He urged that we make the best use of our resources in time of peace by creating a reserve army, such as the reserve forces of Switzer- land gnd Australia, where there is no trace of militarism.
