NEW LONDON MINISTER NINETY-SIX YEARS OLD Rev. Joseph P. Brown Quietly Ob- served Anniversary on Friday. Rev. Joseph P. Brown quietly ob- served the ninety-sixth anniversary of his birth at his home at 199 Hunting- ton street, New London Friday. With his brain as active and his mental ca- pacities as great as many men a score of years his junior but with slight physical fecbleness the “marrying parson” as he is affectionately called, ‘was literally flooded with inessages of congratulations throughout the entire day and this afternoon received in person many of his friends. Just why he is called the marrying parson somewhat troubles Mr. Brown. It is true that he has married 1076 couples, which is somewhat more than falls to the lot of most ministess, but these figures fade into near signifi- cence when it is recalled that he had officiated at the burial of 2300 people Mr. Brown wittily remarked when in- terviewed thalt the marriages were rather important for he said that if no marrying was performed there would s0on be no need for burial rites. The aged clergyman is pleased that his advanced age has not affected his hearing in the slightest and his sight but little. He is able to read several hours *daily. The marriages and fu- nerals of the past year have been slightly more in number than the ay- erage. Mr. Brown’s first wedding took place while a_minister in Rhode Isl- and. Hoxey-Burdick was the couple and relatives on the Burdick side of the family reside near Mr. Brown in Huntington street. Mr. Brown is interested_in the polit- ical situation, althoush his enthusi- asm has dampened somewhat during the passing years. He cast his first vote in Plainfield, and at one time was a politica] aspirant with success- ful results. ‘“Lawyers and doctors make the laws nowadays,” said Mr. Brown, “and it seems that the clergy are forgotten in pol circle: When asked if he voted the minister smilingly said he did when he felt like it. New London has the warmest feel- ings for Mr. Brown and the common desire of his many friends is that he observe as many more birthday anni- versaries. CUMMINGS ADDRESSED MILL WORKERS AT PLAINFIELD.

One of the K-type of submarines submerged Friday morning below tho plant of the New London Ship and Engine Co, and continued all the way up above the bridge under the water. The fact was of interest to many peo- ple from the fact that some have doubted the -depth of water in the harbor and expressed the belief that submerging could not be done except in certain locations and that WAth the small boats. The K boats are among the largest omes and the _craft steamed merrily along at a 12-mile rate of speed. Passengers on the ferryboat had a good_opportunity of seeing the boat as she passed very near.

Gummings Thrills Audience Many Democrats at Rally in Town Hall Friday Night—Frank P. Guilfoile the Other Speaker of the Evening—Street Parade With Band and Red Fire Preceded Addresses. Homer S. Cummings, democratic candidate for the United States senate, and Frank P. Guilfoile, candidate for lieutenant governor of the state, spoke at the largely attended democratic rally held in the town hall Friday night. Preceding the spoaking, Tubbs' OMili- tary band gave a concert at the Wau- regan house corner, and with red fire ablaze, enthusiastis followers of the democratic party shortly before 8 fell in line and marched to the hall. Jeremiah J.. Desmond presided at the meeting and introduced the epeak- ers. Achievements of the Democratic Party Frank P. Guilfoile, candidate for lieutenant goyernor, 'was the first speaker. He ‘opened by speaking of the state democratic ticket and said: I believe that your ordinary love for your state and city will lead you to study the issues of tho campaign. The citizens of this country are now con- sidering the ability of two men, and it is an important duty upon which we are called. He spoke of the achievements and the character of the democratic party in the state, and he said Wilson has given us the great- est program of legislation since the time of Thomas Jefferson. He referred to the Mexican situation and how the returning soldiers from the border re- turn with a greater love for the Stars and Stripes and for Woodrow Wilson. Cummings Greeted With Cheers. As Homer S. Cummings started to speak he was greeted with cheers. He was introduced by Chairman Desmond. In part, Mr. Cummings said: 1 am'very happy to have the oppor- tunity to come to Norwich again,where I like to believe that I have so many friends. T trust that I shall not be disappointed on the Tth of November. 1 have met with vou on many differ- ent occasions, and occasionally at po- litical meetings. We hear a great deal nowadays about effici I sometimes _think that it is casy to make an efficient government, provided vou are willing to have an autocratic government. America could be the most efficient nation in the world if it would sup- press the newspapers, close the schools, dismiss the congress, and turn the contzol of the government over to the hands of one strong man. We would then have an efficient government, but it would not be the government that we love. It would not be the govern- ment that inspires our feelings. So far as I am concerned, the flag of an autocratic government has no attractions for me. The only flag that I have any respect for that floats in the s d of a fi floats over free people, partici 5 voluntarily and gladly in the manage- ment of their own affairs. That is the kind of government that we hav Believes Women Dceply Interestéd. I believe that the women are inter- ested in this campaign perhapy more than in any other campaign he: They are interested because t cision of the Tth of Novemt % determine the £ this future course c s of ours who have known republic and_th have women' hat ‘it wis to see sisters in Burope | sufferiig from the curse of war. - The curse of war falls, I some- times think, 3 upon the women than upon the men. The men are willing to go. They do go. They 50 gladly and with good cheer when their fatherland or their motherland ca They go bravely to death. I sometimes think that the experiences of the world in KEurope have demon- strated that ull men are brave and that after all there are very few cow- ards in the world; that when a real test comes, humanity responds. But the women 'arc left behind. They have to give their sons—-thy ave to give their husbands, they see them march out into unknown perils. They have to stay home, not simply to watch over the home, but to suppiy the places of the men, to take their places in the fields, they are now doing in Europe ,to supply as best they can the hungry mouths of the great armies that are out at the front. I have been going about the state of Connecticut recently, visliing place after place, since the 9th of October. I have been going over our 800d state and I think 1 have mever seen Con- necticut look so beautiful as it does this fall. Almost every day has been bright with sunshine, and our hills have been colored with the rich, beau- tiful hues of autumn. Bvervwhere I ave seen little groups of people, the farmers in some places, who gather about to hear what I had to say about the issues of the campaign—the 1HOe tradespeople in the small villages where I stopped at the stores, or some- times at the factories where the men poured out at noon hour—-or assem- blages like this, where people come to hear the igsucs of the campaign dis- cussed—arf® everywhere I have found peace and prosperity and contentment and happinc Everywhere through this staté I have thought “Great God! Suppose that in a moment, in the twinkling of an eve, all this should be changed, and then instead of these peaceful and gracious eccnes of happl- ness and comfort and joy, there should be the march of the army, the assem- bling of little groups of men in each village, the groups expanding into the larger groups in the city, going into the training camp, going to the bhor- der, going to the front, going into danger,” and I have thought how dif- ferent Connecticut is from all the rest of the world. War Comes for Small Reasons. War comes for small reasons—it comes in the wwinkling of an eye. It comes when statesmanship breaks down. Oh, my friends, war broke out in Burope ‘on or about the 1st of Au- gust, 1914, and was there a man or a weman in'this room that believed up to 24 or 48 hours before that time that there would be such a war, that there would be any war? Not one of us believed it. it came. Servia and Austria were in trouble. In a moment Germany, and Russia and France were involved, Bel- gium was invaded and trampled un- der foot. Great Britaln came in after a few days. Then Turkey and finally Bulgaria, Roumania and the rest, un- til there were sixteen nations involved In this great world war, and in a few days Greece perhaps ‘will come in, making the seventcenth. They have great lines of battle, hundreds of miles long, men living there in the earth, burrowing like rats. They have kill- ed 3,000,000 men in Furope already. Three million men, the best and the bravest they had, ages from 18 to 45. That takes no account of the injured. the wounded, the missing, the cap- tured. T was reading a while ago that there were 200,000 men who had lost their sight by bursting shells. Just think of it! 200,900. About three times the population’ of this town of Nor- wich, in which you people live. Young men,' from 18 to 45, Who will never see Goll's shine again and have got to g0 back home to be supported the rest of their days by the women folks of the family. ‘Europe a Charnel House. ATl over Europe today we And yet pititul stream of young boys coming from the homes and going to the front, and that pitiful stream, the even more pitiful stream, that comes back from the front, broken and wounded to the hospitals of pain and of death. Europe is a_charnel house, and today, no mat- ter how it has been managed, no ma ter by what device of statesmanship it has been accomplished, the great fact remains that no matter how much you may criticise the president of the United States, he has managed to pre- serve the peace and the prosperity of thig country. (Applause). My friends, we are living in the most critical period that has come to humanity. Is this a time for small statesmanship or petty politics? Is this a time for partisanship or is it a time for Americanism? Some peo- ple go around saying that the diplo- macy of the United States is the laughing stock of the world. I say to you that in the light of the tragic events of the last two years it is much more important to know what Amer- ica thinks of the diplomacy of Eu- rope than what Burope thinks of the diplomacy of America. (Applause.) Never So Proud of Old Glory. Some people are going about this country saying the flag of the United States_has been shamed. I do not know how you may feel about it, but as for myself I was never so proud of the stars and stripes as I am tonight. 'We ‘are-ithe ‘only ‘democracy in_the world that has not been torn and tat- tered by the shot and shell of war. What a tragedy to the human race it would be if our country wen tumbling into this vortex of war. There are those who say the presi- dent is afraid to fight. Sometimes I think he is afraid to fight—afraid of the broken hearts of the mothers, the tears of the widows, the pleading of the orphans, the ghosts of the slain, the endless debt that would be piled upon the backs of unborn generati afraid not of his own life, but of the lives of others, afraid o make of America_a charnel house, afraid of the verdict of history and the juds- ment of God.” A tremendous outburst of applause sreeted this peroration.
