Known Canterbury Man Found Lifeless by His Sister. Herbert Baker, a well known resi- dent of Canterbury, committed suicide at his home by shooting himself with a gun on last Sunday evening about § o'clock. His sister, Miss Alice Baker, was upstairs in the house at the time and, hearing the shot, hastened down- stairs. Upon _entering the sitting room she was terrified to find the life- less body of her brother, a most grue- some and ghastly sight. Word was immediately sent for the other brother, who lives at home, but who was at one of the neighbor's for the evening, and also to the medical examiner, Dr. Adams, of Moosup. He pronounced deatn due to suicide. Per- mission was given for the removal of the body to the undertaking rooms of F. W. Tillinghast in Central Village. Mr, Baker was a kind _brother, friend and neighbor. an industrious, active citizen, always honest and up- right in his dealings with others, and commanded the respect of all who knew him. The cause or reason for his rash act is a mystery, and his family are at a loss to know why he aid_it. The whole community is saddened and the grief of the family seems al- most unbearable. Mr. Baker leaves five sisters and three brothers, Mrs. Mary J. Rathbun of the East Side, Norwich, Mrs. Olive McDonald of Pilainfleld, Mrs. Albert Clark of Central Village, Mrs. John Rood of Moosup, Miss Alice Baker of Canterbury, Henry Baker of Saskatch- ewan province, Capada, Levi Baker of Canterbury and Representative Ed- ward Baker of Canterbury. 0.

MORE LEADERS AND INJTRUCTION ARE NEEDED Scoutmasters’ Association to be Formed by Local Workers There was a good aitendance at a meeting of the scout masters and as scistants held at the Y. M. C. A. Wednesday night, none out of "ten scoutmasters being present. Scout Commissioner Benjamin M. Bruce was in the chair. Reports were read from the ten troops in the city’ and showed that the troops are in a fairly good condition, also showing that there is a big need of more lead- ers and more instfuction for leaders. It was voted to o Scout Masters’ Association which will meet on the first Wednesday in each month, starting in February. From the sentiment of he discussion at the meeting it it evident that there has been manifested a new interest in scouting for Norwich troops. It is expected that the Scout Masters' As- sociation will be completed at a meet- ing which will be held February 7th. Troop No. 6 of the Trinity Metho— dist Episcopal church are making preparation for an entertainment at which time there will be a general gathering of all scouts in the city and addresses will be given by local scout officials. Also at this meeting plans will be outlined as to the part that the Norwich scouts will take In the Eastern Connecticut Scout Con- ference which wil be held in New London during the early part of ¥Feb- ruary. It is hoped by scout Sinciala that enough uniformed scouts will go so that an extra trolley car will be needed. It is possible that the the Norwich council will be represented at the SCcouts’ official conference that will be held at at Columbia college, New York on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 2nd and 3rd. A special meeting of the Y. M. C. A. Troops No. 3 was held on Tuesday night with Assistant Scout Master Charles R. Locke presiding.

Universalist Mission Circle Considered Interesting Topic at Monthly Meet- ing. World Missions and World Peace was the subject of “study at the monthly meeting of the Mission circle of the Church of the Good Shepherd, which was held at the home of Mrs. Edwin Tracy of No. 3 Spalding street, The president of the circle, Mrs. Maud B. Cobb, presided, and the roll call was answered with selections of peace. Mrs. Thomas Potter, secretary pro tem., read the secretary’s report, which was accepted. Conclufing a ahort business session, the afternoon’s study was taken up, Mrs. Minnie W. Jenkins reading an introduction tell about the reasons for such a study, because the kingdom of God has begun on earth. The purpose of world missions is to give the good news to all people. The purpose of spread abroad the glad tidings was supreme in Christ’s first disciples, The present crisis was spoken of and it was shown that we are to consider this study of the kingdom of God as a kingdom of peace. Mrs. Cobb then gave a comprehen- sive talk on the way militarism gained an entrance to and a foothold within the church. She showed that the kingdom of Christ and physical war- fare are unalterably opposed to one another, the one being the supreme expression of love, the other hatred. Then she explained how we find today Christian people engaged in war or pursuits which sustain and promote war, when the hostile element enter- ed in. The early church was a mis- sionary church and opposed to war. It was filled with love even for the persecutors. Soldiers had to give up their profession when' they became Christians even if they died for it. The early church was filled with love for everybody. A change came about the third century. From the fourth cen- tury to the 17th but one distinct, sus- tained protest against the motives and practices of militarism was raised within the church, that voiced by the Bohemian or Moravian brethren, first known in the year 1457. By the use of varied colored maps DMrs. Cobb made plain the double standard that came to be in vogue. The reforma- tion failed to see the whole truth of Christianity. The nations of today have failed and are paying the toll. There is a world thought to make over. The gospel is the remedy. Wi must go back to Jesus' teachings. Someone says: ‘“‘War is organized use of force by public bodies.” "The double standard under which we are strug- gling today is that militarists so-called Christian nation says that for indi- viduals Christ enjoined the principles and_practices of peace, mercy truth. But that he did not forbid the opposite principle and practice for states and nations. We need to.learn that there is or should be one standard of individuals and nations, that of peace.

Mi Paris, Jan. 24, 4:50 p. m.—The em ployes of Schneider and Company at Harfleur, the second largest steel works in France, which is devoted to the manufacture of munitions, went on strike yesterday.
