Noble of Uncasville, e gineer on the oil steamer Henry Wi liams, owned by the Vacuum Oil com- pany, returned Friday from England, where he had spent several weeks fol- lowing his last voyage there. He has with him as his guest Cap: e McKenna of the same ship. No hostile submarines were seen on the trip, but Mr. Noble had_an unusual and not al- together delightful experience in Lon- don, where he visited for a month. He was a witness to two Zeppelin raids in February, which he describes as spec- tacular and far from pleasant to con- template in view of possible results. Mr. Noble states that the authorities in London regard it as fully as dan- Zerous to attempt to bring down the Zeppelins with aeropldne 2uns while they over the city as it would be for the airships to drop their bombs, since in either case dangerous explo- sions would resuit. He says that chlights are used largely to drive Zeppelins from the metropolitan rict. Mr. Noble has traveled the rld over. but he is now more than ever inclined to the opinion that there's no place like home. GOD WANTS MEN WHO ARE PREPARED Rev. John Benjamin Magee Addressed Y. M. C. A. Meeting at the Thayer Building. God wants a man who is prepared, said Rev. John Benjamin Magee, vice president of-the Greenwich Academy, in addressing the Y. M. C. A. Men's meeting held in the Thayer building Sunday afternoon. The Adams sisters, Lilliputians, 46 and 49 inches in height, sang hymns at the opening and close of the meet- ing. While the free will offering was being taken, William Malone rendered a violin solo. Swahn's orchestra fur- nished musie. Rev. Mr. Magee took his text from the 18th verse, 8th chapter of the book of Ezra; And according to the good hand of our God upon us they brought us—a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, his brethren, the son of Le- vi the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, withk his sons and his brethren. The speaker told the story of Ezra starting out from eaptivity in Babylon with a band of Israelites to rebuild their city, Continuing Rev. Mr. Magee said. Go wants a man who is prepared and not a man unprepared. What this world needs most {s a man Wwith world wide experience to minister God to the peo- ple. Y say to you, that it is possible to have visions as 8t. Paul and oth- ers id. A man who has not a vision will not go any farther than he is now. One reason why we go farther is be- cause we have a vision. Rev. Mr. Magee told the story of Joseph who was sold by his brothers into slavery and how in the end these brothers bowed down before him while he sat on a throne. He also told of a boy who at the age of 12 vears had an ambition to ‘become the Prime Minister in England. He studied, filling his brain with knowledge apd later in life he realized his ambition. Man cannot be more to himself un- less he has a vision that lifts him. A man has gét to be prepared to make a success in the business world; a man has got to be prepared to do God's work and to do any other task. The ouds give down in rain what they ave already taken up and so with the brain. It will give out what it has already acquired. We must get among men, know men, understand men and in_this way we can prepare ourselves. It was at one time thought that the minister in the pulpit was higher up but now the average intelligence is to high that the man in the pulpit is no_higher than the ordinary man. The speaker told of St. Augustine and of how he became a great tower- g figure among his fellow-men. To great we must study and know God. it is necessary to give yourlifeto ser- i One difficulty with the man of is that he hears only the call oda; with great compensation. Rev. Mr. Magee told of the boys and zirls in various states in the umion who are adding wealth to their state by raising corn and potatoes and these children are adding wealth to Ameri- la. Rhode sland and Connecticut 1ave more waste land than any other states in the union. We are dping nothing to save our Joys and girls, nothing to save our- lelves. Prepare yourself first and ihen go out and save. We cannot tell when our call will come and how true t may be. The speaker told of the building of he Solomon’s temple, how one piece )f stone the carpenters_rejected be- :ame the cornerstone. You can mold sour life and if you leave the stone lione your life will be a failure.

Norwish Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade Receive Requests. Charies W. Pearson, secretary of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce and Henry W. Tibbitts, secretary of the Norwich Board of Trade have re- ceived a communication from ex- President William H. Taft, asking that cause of the length of the ceremonies the usual sermon was omitted. In the procession, when the Blessed Sacrament was carried by Rev. Father Cuny, the canopy above the Host, was borne by John R. Tarrant, Thaddeus Leahy, Jeremiah Lynch and Alexander Kilroy. An unusually large number of white frocked little girls representing the various nationalities of the parish, and ranging in age from three to twelve or thirteen, the smaller ones carryinz lilies, followed the cross-bearer. Then walked the large number of acolytes, each little boy bearing a lighted can- dle. They preceded a_score of tiny girls carrying bagskets of flowers, which blossoms were strewn in the path of the Sacred Host. This Is one of the few times during the vear when the adults of the parish have an opportu- nity of observing the results of the wonderful discipline and _training which the children receive from the Sisters of Mercy, whose work forms such an important factor in the par- ish life, progress and activity. The seriousness, reverential manner, intel- ligent action and decorum of all the children told of the devoted service of these faithful, accomplished and holy women, whose lives are consecrated to the service of God. During the day there were hundreds of visitors to ‘the church, where the Sacred Host ains exposed on the high altar, until the @evotion ends on Tuesday morning, at all hours faithful Catholics visiting the church to re- main_in devotion and prayer. Today and Tuesday the masses are at 5.30, 7 and 8 o'clock, the last a high mass. There will be the procession of the Blessed Sacrament again at the con- cluding service, Tuesday at 2 o'clock.

The devo- tional exercises were led by Rev. B, George Biddle. Clement Reed had charge of the pro- gramme and made a very earnest ad- dress on the importance of the Book- er T.

Biddle urged earnest the interest of the fund. Many o the"tund. . delegates be sent from here to the first annual national assemblage of the League to Enforce Peace, to be held in Washington on May 26 and 27. Mr. Taft is the president of the league. With a view to having the country’s business men well represented at the League’s first annual conference, Mr. Taft has sent a like invitation to all the commercial organizations which have a membership in the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. The National Chamber of Commerce adopted through a referendum held re- cently an international peace plan similar in character to that outlined in the platform of the League to En- force Peace, which consists of the fol- lowing four proposals: An international court. An inter- national council of conciliation. An agreement to use the joint armed and econromic forces of all the signatory powers to compel a submission of In- ternational disputes to the court or council before beginning hostilities or declaring war. An International code. The point of difference between the Taft League's plan and that of the National Chamber of Commerce, Hes in the third proposal, the latter organ- ization having failed to adopt by a two-thirds vote, the “joint armed force” clause. The idea of an econ- omic boycott however was sustained. Mr. Taft in his letter received here sums up the situation as follows: “The commercial organizations con- stituting the Chamber of Commerce of the United States by their votes on Referendum Number Eleven expressed approval of the fundamental principle of the League to Enforce Peace. In- deed all the specific recommendations excepting one were carried by majori- ties In excess of two-thirds. Among the recommendatfons thus adopted 'was one favoring the organization of a system of commercial .and financlal n-intercourse, to be applied to a nation which entered the proposead league of nations and then went to war without first submitting a differ- ence which arose to an agreed upon tribunal. “The one recommendation which just fafled to recefve the two-thirds majority necessary to commit the Na- tional Chamber to the proposition was that which- provided for the use of concentrated” military force In the event that commercial non-intercourse proved insufficient to compel nations which have preceded to war to desist from militery operations and submit the questfons at issue to an Interna- tional Court or Council of Conciliation. “Whatever may be the ultimate de- cision of the League of Natlons when instituted upon this point it would peem that for the present practical purposes the League to Enforce Peace may be looked upon as an abency ‘through -which «your orgamization may work for the common programme em- braced within the approval of the ref- erendum vote. It is from this point of view, there- fore, that your organization is asked to send a deleghtion to the annual meeting of the League.” When the Chamber of Commerce referendum was submitted last No- vember, Mr. Taft wrote to the pres- ident of local commercial organiza- tions as follows: “The irremediable injury that would result to the whole world in case a way should not be found, at the close of the European conflict, to make war less threatening, and to render less frequent, has induced a considerable number of leaders in the realms both of statesmanship and of business to combine in an effort to create senti- ment in our own and other countri in favor of the proposals that were put forward at the Philadelphia con- ference. “The obvious and urgent need that led the committee of the Chamber to draw up its admirable report, and the board of directors to authorize its sub- mission, 18 an eloquent argument in favor of a combined effort to do all which human ingenuity and devotion can, to prevent the recurrence of such a catasthophe as the world is now experiencing.” CENTRAL VERMONT ROAD FACES DAMAGE SUIT.

The Central Vermont railway is to be made the defendant in at least one lawsuit, and possibly several, by men who were Injured during the rlot In connection with the strike of freight handlers in New London several weeks ago, says the New London Day. One of the men retained an attorney who is to bring suit against the com- pany for damages, alleging that the man was kept in ignorance of the strike and that he did not know of the trouble until the gang was attacked by the strikers. The man claims that he has a wife and five children and that he would not have jeopardized his life by going to New London as a strikebreaker had he known the circumstances. er Open to Navigation. Navigation has been resumed in the Pawcatuck river, the channel having been frozen for nearly six weeks, the longest period for any winter in a great many years. Tugs Westerly went down from Westerly on Friday and took up a barge of coal.

REV. W. A. KEEFE TO LECTURE BEFORE K. OF C. Plainfield Priest Will Speak on The Beaut of America—General Pub- lic Invited. Rev. William A. Keefe of Plainfield has accepted an invitation from White Cross council, No. 13, Knights of Co- lumbus, of this city, to deliver a ster- eopticon lecture entitled The Beauties of America in the council chamber, Monday evening, April 10. The meet- ing will be open to the public, a gen- eral invitation being extended to ev- eryone interested, men and women, to attend. Father Keefe made a trip across the continent last August as a representa- tive from Connecticut to the supreme convention of the Knights of Colum- bus, which was held at Seattle, Ore- gon. It was a trip of four to five weeks' duration, going by the north- erly route and returning by way of San Francisco, so as to permit a visit to the Panama exposition, and then by the southerly route home, covering al- together between 7,000 and 8,000 miles. A great many side trips were taken and nearly all the principal cities be- tween here and the Pacific coast were ited, as well as such national beau- ty spots as Yellowstone Park, the Grand Canyvon and other places of note. Being a keen observer, Father Keefe gathered a great fund of information on his journey, together with a great many views of the places visited. He is_therefore splendidly equipped to talk entertainingly and Instructively of the wonders of America and the views which he will show will add greatly to the interest of the occasion. The committee of White Cross coun- cil, which has in charge the arrange- ments for the lecture, are looking for- ward to a large audience on Monday evening, April 10, as Father Keefe has a great many warm admirers in Nor- wich, who are always pleased to hear him, on any subject that he may talk about. FIGHTING CASTE SYSTEM. Bishop F. W. Warne Laboring for the Uplifting of India. Bishop Frank W. Warne of the Methodist faith, who addressed a large gathering at Trinity M. E. church on Sunday evening, and who is touring ew England, is one of the most suc- cessful missionaries who ever has gone to India His account of his experi- ences in India has created considera- ble favorable comment in the cities where he has already spoken. for bis whole life, practically, hds been de- voted to work in the erfent. Bishop Warne was born in Canada into a Methodist family, his grandpar- ents having been co-workers with John Wesley in England. The foreign fleld made its appeal to him, and his ener- gles for years have been put forth in Indla. For some time he oecupied the pulpit of the Thoburn church in Cal- cutta, which was recognized as one of the leading pulpits of India. He was made bishop in 1900, and has latterly made his center at Lucknow. name is ated with one of the most relizious dhenomena the world has ever seen, the great mass movement of Ind This movement has swept whole castes into sympathy with christianity, and in fact the turn- ing of these many thousands has so rapid and so overwhelming possibilities of giving instruction been wholly inadequate. It has been a _policy to decline baptism to those who have not had any instruction. At the present time these uninstructed people number 160,000. This turning to Christianity, accord- ing to some, foreshadows the end of the great caste system of India, which has been a_tremendous force against progress. It prevented a man from entering any other kind of work than that which his forefatbers had done, and made it impossible for any man to better himself by taking a more ele- vated line of work. So rigid were lines of intercourse that a hospital patient would rather die than take from the hand of a foreigner od a person of an- other caste either medicine or food. e third engaged since the evening be-’ fore, that attacked the French lines of defense, but this time they were un- able to advance at any point.

FOUR FRESH GERMAN BRIGADES TOOK VAUX Story of the Battle Told By an Eye- Witness. Paris, April 2. 3.45 p. m.—Four fresh brigades participated in the German attack which ended in the occupation of the village of Vaux, northeast of Verdun, says an eye-wilness of the battle. The assault began with a night at- tack, which is becoming more ‘and more preferred by the Germans. All Friday evening the village and its sur- roundings were copsiously shelled. The attack began from the north at three o'clock in the morning by a brigade debouching from trenches on the hillside east of Fort Rouaumont and advancing as far as the rallroad line in front of the advanced French position where it was checked by the Franch infantry and a barring fire which was so Intense that the as- sailants were unable to hold their ground. They retired to their trench- es much depleted in numbers. It was a fresh brigade which made the second attack towards 5 o'clock in the morning. It came from the east with an abundant supply of powerful grenades that demolished the houses occupied by the defenders of the town. ‘Though partly buried under the ruins, the French stuck stubbornly to their posts which they ceded only step by step, Inflicting severe losses on the at- tacking force. ‘With the houses demolished by grenades and shells, there remalined no reason for maintaining the position and the French were ordered to retire on positions prepared farther west. The detachment still maintained a galling fire as it went back slowly and in good order, a curtain of French shell fire keeping the Germans from pursuing. After this partial success the Ger- mans tried to profit from their new position to overwheim the French po- sition around Douaumont. About two o'clock Saturday afternoon they en- deavored to advance along a road bordering a ravine and running up to- ward the hamlet of Caillette, near Douaumont.
