THE NAVAL MILITIA READY FOR ENLISTMENTS Local Committee Will Take Care of Applicants as Fast as They Appear. Norwich is to have a local branch of the Naval Militia and enlistments will be taken immediately. This was the statement made Wednesday evening by Frank 7. Sevin, one of the committee of three in charge of the local work. The other two members of the com- mittee are Commodore Don Houghton of the Chelsea Boat club and Harcid Presfon. The commi*tee held a meot- ing on Wednesday evening to perfect plans in regard to the work to be car- ried on in this city. Tuesday the committee were in con- ference with the naval militia officials in New London when they gleaned much valuable information in regard to the taking of enlistments and the duties to be required. Both boats and men are wantea hut it should be understood that anyone whether a boat owner or not may join. Men with knowledge of baats and en- mines are of course preferred. The idea of the forming of the naval mili- tia is to have men ready for inshore duty in motor hoats, etc, to protect bridges, munitions plants, and cities against any pessible attack by subma- rines. An adequate naval militia would al- iow the release of the trained sallors of Uncle Sam’s navy from inshore duty so that they could put to sea on the large warships. There are three wavs of enterine a motor boat in the service. Either by donation, lease of sale outright. The advantage of belonging to the naval militia is that the men enrolled will not be called on or drafted for any other purpose than the duties assign- ed them in the naval militia which will include onlv duties in the second naval district. This will keep the men who join near their own homes. In a modern war there will always be zreat need for service and co-op- eration with the navy of yachts, tuzs, power boats,. and other small craft The duties which vessels of tiese classes will be called upon to perform are as follows: Harbor patrol. mine field patrol, coast patrol, javing mines, sweeping for enemy mines. operations against enemy submarines, co-operation with submarines and aircraft. dispatch boats and co-operation with land fore- e 5.

HEARD SHERWOOD EDDY AT BOSTON MEETING. President Case and General Secretary Hill Attended Unusual Y. M. C. A, Meeting. President James L. Case and Gen- eral Secretary Edwin Hill of the local Y. M. C. A. attended what was an up- usual Y. M. C. A. meeting in Boston on Tuesday. The meeting was held in the interests of the great work be- ing done by the associations in foreign lands and in the warring nations and the men who addressed the large gath- ering comprised those who have re- cently returned from their respective flelds of labor. George Warburton, who has recently returned from a trip around the world In the interests of the Y. M. C. A. movement, told an in- tensely interesting story of what the association is accomplishing in China, Japan and India, and the marvelous Tesults he.recited were almost beyond belief. He was surprised that the leaders of these nations as weil as the rank and file of the men had received with open arms the Y. M. C. A. and the practical work the association is doing in these countries is the reason for its popularity. S. C. Danner, the American inter- national secretary from India, told in a most graphic manner his recent ex- perience as one of the passengers on a large ship. torpedoed by @ German sub- marine, and how he with the others watched the sinking of the vessel, and he with 12 others were adrift on a raft 350 miles from any shore, and tnese were finally picked up by a friendly boat and in due time were landed and taken to a hospital. He told of the unBsual things accomplished in India by the Y. M. C. A. and how as the Indian troops started for France the ¥. M. C. A. secretaries accompanied the ‘troops and ministered in many ways to their needs, and that because of this the association has a large piace in the hearts of the people of that wonderful country. The greatest interest centered in the address by G. Sherwood Eddy, who has just returned from a visit to the prisoner of war camps in Europe, Mr. Eddy came to the meeting from a ck bed and with great effort told of his .most unusual experiences among the millions of prisoners and of the manner in which the ¥. M. C. A. is making good in this mast difficult service among the prisoners. He stated that the Y. M. C. A. has opened up two associations a day in recent months in the various prison camps: he said that America was the only nation permitted to do this work and that the Y. M. C. A. was the only orzanization allowed to do it. This, said Mr. Eddy, is a most remarkable tribute to the Y. M. C. A. He told of watching a battle in the air_between a German Zeppelin and a Pritish aeroplane, when the search- lights of London were flashed upon them, and after many attempts the latter dropped a bomb on the former and it caught fire and fell to the earth, killing the entire crew. Mr. Eddy. will be pleasantly remem- bered as the principal speaker at the Jocal Y. M. C. A. annivepsary service in the Davis theatre lagt May. He will leave America for ' the prison camps of Europe in about six wecks. HELPING HANDS' SUPPER. Unusually Large Number of Patrons Were Served Baked Bean Menu.

PULLED BOX 225 FOR BLAZING FAT Small ed Fire in City Lunch Annex Extinguished With Chemical. At 435 o'clock Wednesday _after- noon_someone pulled in box 225, cor- ner Franklin and Chestnut streets, for & small sized blaze in the kitchen of the City Lunch annex on Franklin street opposite the plant of the Hop- kins & Allen Arms company. A can of chemical put out the blaze which originated through a pan of hot fat taking fire. The recall was rung in immediately after the alarm had sounded. Mill Resumes Work. The Thames Specialties Co. mill re- sumed work on Monday after a_shut down for a few days owing to a short- aze of coal and paper stock. Saturday afternoon a barge, the Wiillam C. Moore, came into the dock and began discharging her cargo of coal. a novel obstacle race, which was participated in by 100 boys, with great excitement and glee. ing this there was a demonstration by Troop 3. in marching drill, and Troop 6 demonstrated their method of run- ning their meetings, followed by ex- hibitions of various details of scout work. By this time everyone was get- ting hungry, so at the bugle call for mess, all lined up in gingle file and adjourned to the mess tent, which was erected In the lobby. Troop 3 of the Y. M. C. A. had charge of this impor- tant task, and in a most efficient way, they served hot dogs and cocoa.| Taps sounded at 10 o'clock and all left for home in a most happy state of mind. Buglers Johnson of Troop 1 and Eager of Troop 3 provided the music_for the evening. The remark was made that the conduct of the boys was most unusually ood for 5o Jarge a crowd in a small space. The program was arranzed by General Secretary Edwin Hill and Scout Com- missioner B. M. Bruce. BRINGS SUIT FOR A DRESSMAKING BILL Julia O'Sullivan Files Action Against New London People. On Wednesday papers in the case of Julia O’'Sullivan vs. Pauline S. and Oscar E. Greenenwald and others, all of New London, were filed with the clerk of the superior ‘court. 1t is claimed by the plaintiff that she obtained judgment for two bills of $541.9% and $311.37 in the superior court and they have been partly sat- isfied., She alleges that she did dress- making for Pauline S. Greenenwald and was told she had interest in renl estate but it was found later it had heen made over to Mr. Greenenwald It is claimed the transfer was illegal There are other claims against the defendants and_one is from Harrigan Lrothers for $150 and there is a ciaim for $10,000. The plaintiff wants these claims 'adjusted and the title of the property to vest in her. ! THE GREAT DIVIDE. | Evangelist Linden Says We Must ther Accept or Reject Christ. In Wednesday night's sermon at |the First Baptist church Evangelist Linden spoke on the subject The Great s text Matt. 2 | “What shail I do with Jesus w E called the Christ?” He said that here was a question which decides why in the great divide there s a separation between the sheep and the goats. He showed how it was impossible to es cape this question, that Judas Iscariot feil unpitied, unforgiven and outcast alike of earth and heaven because he answered this question by a venomous kiss of betrayal. In every creed of Christendom the unhappy name of “he Roman procurator, Pilate, is handed down to eternal execration because of the way he answered it. The evangelist. emphasized the fact that the question was a personal one and could not be evaded. Pilate hurls it at us and it rings in our ears. Try o leave it alone or show indifference regarding it and it still will haunt us in the watches of the nignt. You might girdle the globe, reach the cen- ter of the earth, sit on the outer rim of the universe, hitch your chariot to a star, let highbrows and humbugs g0 on giving us wooden gods and the gospel of twaddle, but add the time, blazing its way through conscience like a shooting star, will go Pilate's question, “What shall I do, then, with Jesus?” David Hume, the English deist, who tried to introduce a universal skeptic- ism, was hounded by this_question. Lora Lyttleton and Gilbert West, two famous English infidels, who had no use for Christ and his teachings, tried to evade their responsibility, but both of them when they gave Christ a fair show were converted and wrote strong defenses for Christianity and placed before the people the fact that they accepted the Christ of the gospel. Ail people are face to face with this in- evitable .Christ. Pilate could not be neutral; neither can anyone else at the present time in the world. We are compelleq to do one thing or the other with Christ—either reject or accept. This afternoon at 4 o'clock the Boosters will have their rehearsal to get ready for_their program of Satur- day night. Tonight the evangelist will preach on_the subject A Cipher With the Rim Knocked Off. On Fri- day evening a large delegation of peo- ple, members and constituency of the Central Baptist church, will attend the revival meetings in a body. The ser- mon on_TFriday evening will be on Family Safety, especially prepared for husbands and ‘wives, but everybody Is most cordially invited. Sixth Annual Meeting.
