TAG DAY RETURNS NOT ALL IN 5. Belgian Relief ‘Expects to be Able to Announce Total of Contributions Today—Norwich People Respond Genemu!y” The cause of Belgium, unoffending. and unafraid, has appealed to Ameri can hearts and American generosity to an unparalleled degree. Sturday was “flag day” in not only Norwich but throughout the nation as a whole. Ten million tags, bearing he national flag of Belgium and the stars and and stripes, were distributed by the president gnral of the Daughters of the American Revolution and each flag was to be sold at not less than seven cents, seven cents being the cost of rations to keep one Belgian alive. The Tag Day movement was carried on in Norwich by Faith Trumbull Chapter and the anrrangements were in charge of Mrs. C. Leslie Hopkins and the members of the chapter's ex- ecutive committee. The flags were placed on sale at 9 o'clock Saturday morning and the boy scouts and oth- ers who had been enlisted in the work found ready purchasers for the tny tags. The fist allotment was 25 tags and they were soon back for another 2 Although seven cents was the contribution asked many purchasers gave a number of quarters ad one of the boy scouts enthused headquarters with the report that he had been paid $5 for one of his tags. A Norwich Wo- man took 25 flags and pald $5 for hem P fose having tags were stationed at all prominent buildings and some of all prominent places about the city, on treets, entrances to public and some of the boys includ- L. Hopkins and Stanley Vuughn convassed houses. The tage day headquarters were lo- cated in the Thayer building store oc- cupied by the Red Cross and here an count was kept of the amounts re- ceived and each one credited with the ottt s amount of their returns. Mrs Hop- kins was assisted in the work b 5 ‘hanning M. Huntington, Mrs. a % Mrs. George C. Preston, Mrs. Edward J. Graham and others. On one side of the tags were the words, “Let us highly resolve that this people shall not perish from the earth,” and on the other side appeared the date, April 8, 1916. On both sides of the tag were the letters, C. R. B, standing for Commission for Relief of ing _food and lothing for nine million civil population of occupied Belgium nd northern France. Of these nine ‘million, three million are entirely de- pendent on charity and this need will continue until the war is over. Among the boy scouts who assisted in the executive committee of Faith Trumbull Chapter in dispoing of the tags were the following: Troop 1—Robert Sage; Troop 4— Fred Eaton, Arthur Fitch; Troop 8— John Atterbury, Gottfried Johnson, Harold Kramer, Raymond Harris; Troop 9—Richard Savles, Gerald Brassill, Frank L. Crowell, Arthur Norton, Harold Sullivan, John Young, ¥rancis Gallaudet, Charles Tirrell, Gerard Dingivan, Phillip Sayles. It was estimated that about 2500 tags were distributed in Nrwich but as all the returns were not in Sunday evening the committee were unable to announce a final report. It is expected that the returns will all be in today when the committee will announce the final total o fthe contributions. The blustery and snow weather retarded the work to some extent but it is ex- pected that the result of the commit- tees labors will be gratifying owing to the generosity of the citizens of Norwich.

In the iight of this new dawn we can look back for an instant with pleasure at the things which it was easy to re- flect upon when all the world was at peace. An all sides we had a view of those lives which in their successes furnished instances for our imitation. We could remember our own fore fathers who conquered the bewilder- ing conditions and problems of life when they came to the Uniteq States with only the two weapons of unre- mitting industry, and adherance to their religion. ~'Here was the ro- mance of personal honesty and unpre- tentious living, ornamenting their am- bition to do good, to render justice and to provide for their childrén ad- vantages which circumstances denied to_themselves. | We loved to read of many poor but lambitious vouths of our country who after their day’s work, in their humble abodes or under guidance and instruc- tion at night schools, wrestled with fate for the reward of prosperity ana honor. Think of the busy tollers in our own community who for long per- iods, sometimes exceeding a half cen- tury, day after day, have labored in the same employment, faithful to their familles, their employers, their city and the state, turning the dross of humble living into the pure gold of a noble character. At the bench of the carpenter, in the factory, before the furnace, in the shop and on the farm, the struggle for an honorable living has been fought out with heroic per- severence. How we rejoice when we learn through the press that some faithful workman, after thirty, fort or more years of toil, is to be pension- ed by an appreciative emplover as a reward for a continuous faithful ser- vice, which has within ét an inspira- tion which no_suggestions of fiction could equal. We may not know the individual, we may never have heard his name spoken before, but everyone loves a hero, and there Js no hero more genuine than the one who has been crowned by the genius of honorable ine . These benefits come with the other blessings of peace; but at the sound of the war trumpets there Ih hushed the music which comes from the civilian’s toll and faith and perse- vurlfi hope, and all things are devoted to requirements of impending co: filet. The romance of past life is for- 5 NNV NN NN NORWICH gotten in the realities present and future. The situation in the United States at present is necessarily colored by grave anxiety, not only on account of what may possibly happen in the way of actual disturbance but by reason of what must be done even though we never see a day of war. For many vears we all participated in the dream that the really great nations of the world never again come into any se: ous conflict. We had a brief awaken- ing when our war with Spain came on, and our slumber was disturbed a little during the short war between Russia and Japan. But so far as the present war is concerned, I believe that two years ago there was not one human being, in the old world or the new, who had any idea that such a war would ever be carried on; and it is, consequently, the uncertainty as to what may happen which makes us in- quire of ourselves what are our pres- ent duties as a great, free, independ- ent nation. We may and should pray for a continuance of peace; but we cannot put out of our minds what might happen in the event of war. Precisely whait should be done under existing conditions the average person does not know. The greatest states-: men of our nation are at variance on the subject, and war experts are by no_means in agreement. Five hundred editors of newspapers in the United States recently gave to the Lits Digest their views as to what should be the size of the army and though they do not agree on numbers, they almost without exception preparation against possible trouble.

Recently the N York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company ad- vertised in about a dozen of the lead- ing agricultural publications which circulate throughout the southern and western states the free distribution of a booklet on New Englapd farming op- portunities. The booklet was entitled Golden Opportunities for Specialty Farming in New England, and con- tained articles by leading agriculturists in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Over 500 applications have already been received for the booklet and the letters received by the industrial bu- reau plainly indicate a genuine inter- est on the part of the writers.
