The business ‘meeting followed the annual church supper and was presided over by the pastor, Rey. Herbert J. Wyckoff. One’ hundred covers were laid for the supper which was served at 6.30 o'clock under the *auspices of the Church Improvement League. At 7.30 o'clock Rev. Mr. Wyckoff called the business meeting to order ana after @ brief prayer the first business was the reading of the minutes of the last annual meeting and of the special meetings held. ‘These werc read by Clerk Henry D. Johnson and were ac- cepted as read. The membership report showed a total of 316 names on the roll on Jan. 1, 1917. _ This report was also ac- cepted.

Reports were then presented as follows: Phi Lambda Epsilon, Miss Louise BULLETIN’S PATTERN SERVICE JOIN CANADIAN HIGHLANDERS John and David Lumsden Fighting for Their Country in World Wide War. News has been received here of the enlistment in the Canadian Highland- ers of two former Norwich residents, John Lumsden and his son David. Mr. Lumsden came from Cupar, Fifeshire, Ccotland, the birthplace of Archibald Mitchell and several other residents of Norwich. Mr. Lumsden has relatives living there, including an uncle and cousins, though all his immediate fam- ily live in America. His mother and sister live in Meriden and an uncle in | Norwich. During the fall of 1915 news | was received here that his relatives in Cupar had in common with the entire Scottish nation responded nobly, one of his uncle’s family furnishing a full dozen fighters, four soms, six grandsons and two sons-in-law, a rec- ord of which any family might be proud and one not equalled by many, as was learned from sketches in the two foremost Scottish newspapers, The Weekly Scotsman and The People's Journal. The latter paper, which is published in Cupar, a copy of which was received by The Bulletin, had a * JUNIOR DRESS. A Charming Dress for Party, Dancing and Best Wear.

The greater part of them are serving in The Black Watch and have repeatedly been mentioned in orders for distinction in service. Some have risen from the ranks to sergeants and some have received the D. C. M. (distinguished conduct medal). A number of them have been wounded at different times, being invalided home only to return to their commands on their recovery. Last summer it was reported (unofficially) that one of them had been killed. This has been offi- cially confirmed by the latest news received, which states that Sergeant John Lumsden was killed while in ac- tion in July last. Sergeant Lumsden had been mentioned for gallant con- duct, especially for throwing a bridge across, under shell fire, for the pas- sage of the wounded to the rear, and also at another time for carrying to siceve Is nice in wrist or elbow length The dress may be developed without the tunic and overblouse.

Navy Department ously of Mal A traveling recruiting party, con- sisting of J. Denen, master of arms, second class, and L. T. Jones, phar- macist’s mate, second class, is coming to Norwich. The advance man is al- ready here making arrangements and posting the nearby towns. The re- cruiting party will arrive in Norwich Jan. 22 and will be ready to receive all applicants after 9 a. m. on that date., Through the courtesy of Post- master John P. Murphy the party will use the carriers’ room in the postoffice. They will be at the postoffice from Jan 22 to the 27th, inclusive, every day from 9 a- m. until 5 p. m. The navy is offering many exceptional op- portunities at present to young men who enlist. Never in the history of the navy has such excellent oppor- tunities been offered to young men to learn a trade and be advanced rapid- ly. This is due largely to the large building program now in_effect. The ships that are now being built will re- quire 30,000 additional men to man them. This will cause many thousands of promotions. This state is one of the banner states for rurnishing recruits for the navy. During the last year a very high grade of men were enlisted from this dis- trict and the department is anxious for more of the same kind. Most of these men are now in trade schools which are maintained on shore by the gov- ernment, being trained to take their places on the master sea fighters which are soon to go in commission. These ships are filled with complicated ma- chinery and it takes experts to run them. The navy trains and makes every one of its own experts. Fifty- two different trades are taught and a boy receives better pay while learning his trade than he would receive in civil life. The days of swabbing and furling sails have gone out of the navy forever. The navy of today is a brand new one composed of high grade mechanics. It has new laws and reg- ulations nad a new class of men. Un- der the new laws a boy can leave the navy almost any time he desires. The new laws which are now in effect read that any man_after he has completed one year’s service 'will be given an honorable discharge upon request, and if he should be needed at home through some misfortune to his family before he has completed his year's service he ‘will be given a furlough for the rest of his enlistment. This law assures a man of good pay, good food, treatment and otion. If he does not receive the things he can quit. The department wants only satisfied men in the navy now. It is quite likely #hat a permanent recruiting station will be a!'.n.bllshed in Norwich in the near future. So many desirable men have been secured from this section that the department is thinking very seriously of moving the New London office to Norwich. Any men who have been rejected for minor defects who still wish to enlist should see the recruiting party, as many waivers are being granted now. k bre a bad breath, a dull, listless, “no feeling, constipation, torpld liver, bad disposition or pim; I{ Dl;.

General Conference of New London and Stonington Unions Proved En- thusiastic. Representatives of practically all Baptist churches included in the Ne London and Stonington Union associa- tions met at the First Baptist church in New London in general conference Wednesday morning, afternoon and evening under the auspices of the five year program of the Connecticut Bap- tist state convention, The conference was one of a serfes which are being held throughout the state and proved to be the most enthusiastic of those already held. The morning session was devoted &0 a conference of ministers at which there was a general discussion and re- ports were made by, various pastors concerning the operation of the five year program in their churches. The program was originally adopted by the Northern Baptist convention for the Baptist churches of its constituency, and the principal goals to be reached in five years are: A million addition to the church by Baptism. A missionary force of 5,000 men and women in_America and the non-Chris- tian world. A two million dollar endowment fund for ministers and the Baptist missionary board. Student pastogs in 25 universities. One thousand Baptist students theological seminaries. Fifteen thousand Eaptist students in colleges and universities. Six million dollars for additional ed- ucational endowment and equipment at home and abroad. An additional income of $6,000,000 for missions and benevolences. The main lines of endeavor as thus mapped out are evangelistic, for mis- sionary workers, for ministerial relief, educational, and for missionary finan- ces. Representatives of several churches of both New London and Stonington associations whose churches had adopted the program reported the progress which each had already made. After a sumptuous dinner served by the ‘ladies of the church, the confer- ence listened to an address by Dr. W. H. Lerrigo, general district secretary for the New England district of the Baptist church. Dr. Lerrigo outllned the fire year program and the methods employed by various churches to fulfill its requirements and later conducted a discussion and questionaire, answering many questions and suggesting ways for meeting the difficulties which have aglsieln in churches which have adopt- e Dr. Lerrigo was followed by Dr. Wil- liam J. Sly, new director of religious education for Connecticut and Rhode Island, who presented a summary of plans for work among young people for the purpose of bringing them into line with the five year program work. The afternoon session adjourned at 5 o'clock and at 5.30 supper was served by the ladies of the church who acted as hostesses. ENTENTE REPLY HOLDS FOR REPARATION (Continued from Page One) concerning the reply of the entente to the German peace proposals, the Over- seas News Agency announced. It is first stated, says the news agency announcement that the Ger- man government has received he re- ply of the entente to the note of De- cember 12 containing a proposition to enter at once into peace negotiations. The note then continues: . “Our adversaries declined thie pro- position, giving as the reason that it nis a proposition without sincerity and without importance. The form in which they close their communication excludes an answer to them, but the imperial government considers it im- portant to point out to the govern- ments of neutral powers its opinion regarding the situation. Origin of World War. “The central powers have no reason to enter into any discussion regarding the origin of the world war. History will judge upon whom the immense guilt of the war shall fall. History’s verdict will as little pass-over the encircling policy of England, the re- in out reservation to make known their peace conditions Ja o 2 ary e s ara %fi)e it A Clearance of ““Season’’ Stocks In Every Department Every departmeiit has its particular merchandise which must change with the seasons.

Germary Took Up Arms for Defense. “Germany and her allies, who had to take up arms for defense of their liberty and their existence, consider this their aim of the war as obtained. “On_the other hand, the hostile powers always went further away from the reaization of their plans which ,according to the declarations of their responsible statesmen, were among others, directed towards the conquest of Alsace-Lorraine and sev- eral Prussian provinces, the humili- ation and diminuition .of the Austro- Hungarian monarchy, the partition of Turkey and the mautiliaton of Bul- garia. “In the face of such war aims, the demand for restitution, reparation and guarantee in the mouth of our ad- versaries produces a surprising effect. Entente Responsible for Future Blood- shed. “Our adversaries call the proposal of four allied (Teutonic) powers a war and her were entered into, which refutes every doubt as to their sincerity. Claims of Entente. “Our . adversaries, . -who had it in their hands t oexamine the proposition as to its contents, neither attempted an e ination nor made counter- proposals. Instead they declared that peace was impossible so long as the re-establishment . of . violated rights and liberties, the recognition of the people of nationalities. and the free existence .of small states were not guaranteed. “The sincerity whi¢h our adversary denies to the proposals of the four allied powers will not be conceded by the world to these demands if the ‘world holds -before its eyes the fate of the Irish people, the destruction of the liberty and the independence of the Boer republic, .the subjugation of northern Africa by England, France and Italy, the suppression of Russian alien nations and also the violation of Greece, which is without precedent in history. “The war of starvation against Ger- many and the pressure exercised in England’s interest against neutrals are not less scandalously conflicting with the rules of the laws of nations as with the commands of humanity. “Likewise, contrary to the laws of nations, end incompatible with the usages of civilization, are the use of colored troops in Europe and the ex- tengion of the war into Africa, which done by a breach of existing treaties and which undermines the prestige of the white race on that con- tinent. The barbarous treatment of prisoners, especially in Africa and Russia, and the deportation of the civilian population from eastern Prus- sia, Alsace-Lorraine, Galicia and Bukowina are further proof of how our adversaries respect justice and civilization. “At the end of their note of Dec, 30 our adversaries point out the special situation of Belgium. The imperial government is unable to acknowl that the Belgian government has ways observed the duties which were enjoined upon h her neutrality, Already before the war Belgium,,under England's influence, sought support in ilitary fashion from England an.d ce and thus herself violated upu-lt (of the treaty) which she ma her indepondence and nutmltr.
