STEAM FIRE ENGINE READY FOR USE. Tryout at Rockwell Street on Wed- nesday Afternpon Proved Satisfac- tory. Wednesday afternoon the Metropol- itan steam engine at the Central Fire station was given a thorough test at the hydrant located at the corner of Rockwefl street and McKinley av- enue. As it is rated at 750 gallons a minute, the engine did this very sat- isfactorily, demonstrating what gocd use it will be in case of a big fire. Chief Stanton says the engine fs ready for ction and will certainly zive good service. As there are no hors- es to draw the engine it would be necessary to transport it by means of auto. The engine since the acquisi tion of the auto pumper does not re- spond to ordinary fires but will be kept in shape for use when needed. The first steel about 40_cents Dpens were sold each. ot BROCKTON VISITORS HERE OVER THE WEEK-END Thirty or More Will Come Here by Auto Saturday and Remain Until Sunday Afterncon—Will ke Enter- tained by Local Committee.

Mr. Eddy is quite well known to many local resi- dents and many will recoliect the thrilling address he gace in the Davis Theatre at the annual anniversary service of the Y. M. C.

The great wooden hut is filled with men from.end to end, a thousand tir- ed soldiers after their hard day’s drill- ing, with® parades, the storming of trenches, bayonet work and physical exercise. Two hundred machine gun- ners have just poured into the hut, after a day’s hard march. They have gathered at the piano and are singing songs of home. “Tipperry” is dead, it has sung itself out, but new sonzs are taking its place, such as “Keep the Home Fires Burning”; “Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Own Kit Bag and Smile, Smile, Smile,” etc. songs of home, mother and “the girl I left be- hind me”; these are the war songs of the British soldier today. Indeed these men are not soldiers. They are a nation in arms. These quiet boy from the farm and city do not like war, but every man is ready to take his place, to live or die; while the woman- hood of Britain has risen in self-for- getful service for the country. At one end of the hut a hundred men are bus ing tea, coffee and refr lunch Counter. A couple of hundred are at the writing tables, burizd in their letters, their thoughts far away the old homes and oblivious to the roar of the music and the talking go- ing on about them. Tt is time for our meeting to begin, but how are we ever going to grip the attention of a thousand restless men? Here are several hundred men who have been driven toward God and who are face to face with the great reali- ties of life, death and the future for the first time in their lives, cager for a message which shall help them to God and help them in time of trouble. But here are seversl hundred othres who have been hardened by the war, wo have fallen victims to evil habits, determined yvou shall not_force re ion down their throats.: How are we to capture the attention of this whole mass of men and hold them? Will they bolt or stand fire. “Come or boys, let's have a sing to; m w t e old camp Out_cor little_camp_song books. publishe the Young Men's Christian Assoclation, | and we start in on a few favorite chor- | o i [ cotland, others ask for John vn’'s_ Body,” Marching Through Georgia,” and negro melodies. Others for the “Marseillaise” and the war gs of Britain. Soon we have five hundred men scated around the piano and the chorus gathers in volume. Now we call for local talent.

It is not inside, the fight with passion. Now is the time to challenge every sin that weakens a man or the nation. Boys, how about drink? Is it a friend or foe?
