EXTENDS INVITATION TO PATRIOTIC ORGANIZATIONS Noted Speaker Will Point Out Defense Needs of United States. At the address on Preparedness to be delivered in the Colonial theatre Thursday evening upder the auspices of the Norwich Board of Trade, Fred- erick H. Chase, fleld secretary of the American Defense Soclety will_point out the defense needs of the United States. Further information on the lack of defenses for the United States will be pointed out In America Unprepared, the four-reel official film of the Amer- ican Defense Society. The address to be made by Mr. Chase will show the strong probability of trouble between this country and one or more nations of Europe if we do not hurry up and get an army and y snufficiently strong to make any European or other foreign power re- spect our position as a first-class power. The address will show further there is no militarism in the movement for adequate national de- ense. “America Unprepared,” through the medium of concise statements and army and navy pictures of undoubted authenticity, bears out the statements of oficers in both services that at the ! nt time, the United States would fall before any foreign invader. The film shows that our Coast Artillery defenses are weak: our field artillery inadequate and our cavalry ana in- fantry insuficlent, and shows further that the United States navy is too small and_ deficient in equipment and men for ships now in service. One fact pointed out is that, on the word of Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, not one submarine now in the navy is fit for deep sea service. No admission fee will be charged and. as the subject is one of special interest at this time, a large attend- ance is looked for. The Board of Trade is extending invitations to the | patriotic organizations of Norwich and hope for their cooperation in mak- ing the coming lecture a success.
