A total of 353 membérs were ‘enroll- ed in the Red Cross on Thursday in this city. This was the report given out at the Red Cross headquarters in the Thayer building_ last night, The local committee has yet two days to bring the membership total up to the three thousand mark as that is the soal they are determined to reach by 10.30 o'clock Saturday night.

Leavens, chairman of the Norwich Red Cross chapter, put in a busy day on Thursday. visiting the lo- cal manufacturing ts in the im. terests of the campaign. In all he visited eighteen concerns. At the J. B. Martin plant jn Taftville he met with a most cordial reception and the result of his visit was that the com- pany has announced to its employes that the management will pay ffty cents towards every membership taken out by its employes. “A most gener- ous offer” said one of those in charge of the Red Cross headquarters. During his visits to the local plants Mr. Leave distributed o thousand cards and on Thursday_af- ternoon he telegraphed to New York for three thousand more. A cordial reception was also afford- ed the campaigner who visited the Porteous & Mitchell store on Main street Thursday. The management of the store themselves as thoroughly in sympathy with the movement and gave the campaigner the assurance that they would do all in their power in its interests. A lit- tle later in the day Mr. Mitchell re- ported to headquarters that 75 per cent. of the company's employes had taken out membership: Two small boys who have seen less than a dozen summers called at head- quarters on Thursday and expressed a desire to become members. Ten cents apiece was all they could muster but they volunteered to pay ten cents ev- ery Thursday until the dollar is made up and they will be given membership cards. It might be said right here that these boys are selling a weekly publi- cation and the sen cents a week comes from the profits of their sales. Those boys have the right spirit. GETS NAVY CONTRACT FOR MACHINE GUNS Hopkine & Allen Arms Company to Build 500 as Soon as Possibl The United States navy has made n contract with the Hopkins & Allen Arms company for the deiivery of 500 Berthier machine guns at the earliest possible moment.

The new corporation will be capi- talized at $500,090 and all of the capi- tal stock has been issued to the Hop- kins & Allen Arms company. TWwo hundred thousand dollars worth of the stock has been transferred to the new corporation in consideration of its as- suming the indebtedness of tbe Hop- kins & Allen Arms company incurred through the purchase and development of the machine gun. The machine gun will be manufactured in this city by the Hopkins & - Allen Machine Gun company for the Hopkins & Allen Arms _company.

Thursday ‘svening, in the Tows hail From the large number who attend- Wake Up America Day recruiting out the country, and held on the an- hiversary of the Battle of I‘m‘m. Mayor Brown stated that he ght meetings of this kind were very im- portant at this time for he said that he believed that the most danger is the lack of proper appreciation of the danger that lies ahead of us, as we are now in war and ought to wake up, Wake up America. We are so _far from the seenes of war and we have enjoyed peace so long that we canmbt realize that we are in the world's greatest war. These are crucial times and times of thought. Mayor Brown Teferred to the meeting he attended in New Haven only recently, where John R. Mott, whose statements can be re- lied upon and one who has since the war broke out had opportunities to obserye conditions in Eurcpe, speak on the condition in Europe. Mr. Mott has made two trips to the war front, the first soon after the war broke out when there were some twelve to fif- teen million men under arms and when he went there the second time there were some 40 million of men under arms. There are over flve million men in prison camps and upon the second trip he learned that the hatred had increased in all countries on both sides of the conflict and that no where in any country did he find any trace of doubt as to the outcome of the war. This war has raged for three years ‘with deeper tensity of hatrsd and no ‘where can any trace of purpose or lack of confidence’ be found to be weaken- ng. It will be a sorry day. for the United States if she don't get ready. The scope to consider in preparing the country is so broad that all subjects| are of vital interest to everyone. What Are We Doing? _As the first speaker Mayor Brown introduced Col. Charles Gale, recruit- ing officer for the Home Guard. Col Gale emphasized the fact that the crisis is here and he said, you know it as you all read the papers. We are all up against the propositions. The young men are called upon for enlist- ments in the National Guard and at present there are a number of Nation- al Guardsmen doing duty right here, and what are you doing? The men doing duty here are a nice bunch and a big credit to the uniforms that they wear. Next is our Coast Guard and in this branch you hav the privilege of entering the forts in gunnery and this is not a privilege to all. Then there is the regular army and when a young man goes in the army and comes out again he is a better man. Then there are other branches of the service, the navy, naval militia and marine service, etc. You find your place, don’t walt to be called upon. A young man enlisting as a private has the opportunity to be an officer if he has the ambition and red blood in him. Don’t wait until they tap you on the shoulder and sa ‘Go now!” The next branch is the Connecticut Home Guards, composed of married men with terms of service calling for two years. The prime object of the Home Guard is military training at home, defensive duty in only your onw state. We have at the present time two _full companies of 75 men, and a fine body of men, and in the third company at present we have 40. We all want peace and if we are not willing to fight for it, we are not deserving of it. The Part Labor Plays. As the next speaker Mayor Brown introduced Robert McNeeley, busine: agent of the allied trades of Norwich. In part Mr. McNeeley said: I bring to you tonight a confidence based on the records of the past, that the toilers now as well as then, will meet their full share, in what may be necessary to protect Liberty, further Equality, and demand Justice. In all big.things, leadership is an es- sential part. We have had our Washington, our Lincoln, our Monroe, and our McKinley, men who have de- voted their all' to that Liberty, Equal- ity and Justice should be administered to a free people.

Forty Men Are Needed. The commanding officer of the de- tachment of soldiers from out of town, who are doing guard duty in this city, states that he meeds 4¢ men of the best type to fill up the company.

Leaders have always Inspired, and I believe always will. In Norwich our leader, our mayor, among the first to answer to the call is an in- spiration to the Home Guard. We are boastful tonight and justly so, in our leader of the Nutmeg State, Governor Holcomb, with the cCourage of youth and the wisdom of experience, he is leading. Shall we follow? Through what we believe to have been one of the most trying tests of patient for- bearance. facing a_ responsibility per- haps never equalled in history, with a calmness and decision of purpose, our President’s message to the special se:xvion of the 65th congress, Keys our Patriotism. The “Grand, Old Man.” What of labor’s part in our country’s need? Again, leadership. Let me point with pride to our “Grand Old Man,” Samuel Gompers, president ot the American Federation of Labor, his work in the interest of the _toiling masses. Lifting them from industrial slavery, to industrial freedom, stand ing up’ boldly in dofence of helpless women and children, that they be no longer sacrificed in the industrial mill In its insitiate grind for gold. That spirit In the leader, linking him closely to national issues, brings the vast organizatfon he represents into the fullest, grandest opportunity for service. As in dave gone by, I be- lieve it will be now, a ready. ‘willing response to our country’s call will characterize the sinewy, brainey, brawny, throng, who have learned to love liberty. Anything that will tend to abolish that senseless “Class Dis- tinction” that has for so long main- tained, will 1 believe be of immense value to our country in this and com- ing generations.

A Word About the Navy. Following _ Mr. _McNeely, Mayor Brown introduced Chief Signal Quar- termaster Edward Stohan of the Unit- ed States navy, who referred to the fact-that at the present time the en- iistments in the navy amounted to 71,806 men and that since President Wilson's call the enlistments averaged about 817 a day. Secretary Daniels is confident that the 87,000 men-wanted for the navy will be secured if the present average keeps up. The term of enlistment in the United States navy is four yeagrs, and while in the navy pay goes on, there are no strikes, thers are mo layoffs, you get your money whether you work or not. ~Often there is much comment on the food in the navy, but the food is good. In speak- ing of the varlety of scenes in the navy, a man enlisted in the navy has 2 chance to see all parts of the world. I have been in the service for nine years and there are only a few places 1 have not visited, except England and Germany, and I am waiting my chance to go there. In the navy there are various training schools and a fellow is sent to the training school. .car- penters, painters are trained in the Norfolk training school. Yeomen are tradmed at Newport and San Francisco. There are schools for cooks, hospital corps wnd machinists. en a fellow first enlists he is sent to Brooklyn or Newport for training 2nd there he receives his first uniform and clothing, which amounts to about $65. The uniform lasts about three years and after that the fellow fur- nishes himself. Any young fellow un- der 21 years of age who has had two years of high echool training and who has had a year's eervice in the. navy can take examinations to be admisted to the naval academy at Annapolis There is a great chance to save money in the navy and as a fellow advances he receives mors money. A man in the service 16 years is retired with a pension for life, which amounts to 348 2 month. On each battleship there is a chaplain, and church services are held and during the services every- thing on the ship is quiet. Men Are of Good Morals. Some people have an idea that the navy is filled with bums, drunkards. Well, this s net so, as these type of men ‘are belng discharged. and for an example to show the calibre of the men in the navy at the present day, Quartermaster Stohan cited an stance in the Danish West Indies which is worth bearing in mind. Quar- termaster Stohan sald that when the United States took possession -of the Danish West Indies 16,000 men -vere landed with a full month’s pay. There were saloons it seemed on every cor- ner and out of the 16,000 men that landed only 12 were found to be in an intoxicated condition. Quartermaster Stohan asked what would be the cir- cumstances if 16,000 civilians were landed there. The Food Situation. Robert W. Perkins, president of the Shore Line electric road, member of Governor Holcomb's food supply com- mittee, was next introduced. Mr. Per- kins referred to one of the serious needs in connection with the world war—the matter of provisions. When you take out of the productive force of the world forty millions of men, there is danger for the food supply. The past winter has been an unfavor- able one for wheat. In this state in 1850 eight out of ten followed along the lines of agricultural purpose, while two out of ten were emploved in the cities, but today the conditions are reversed. There is about sixty mil- lions of dollars’ worth of food products imported in this state in a year. We have allowed about 800,000 acres of land to go back to the state of nature. The agricultural output of the United States in 1916 was sixteen billions of dollars, which was three billions of dollars more than in 1915, but that is in dollars; the amount in bushels was a good deal less. We produced :ess ch_stal with the Red Cross, lined up the pres- ent situation in y : First, men &% the front; socond, men who are supporting the fghting line through the rtment and muni- tions factorjes; third, who do not want to do anything. There are many who cannot go to the front ow- ing to limitations. The Red Cross is organized, mobilized and preparcd to serve the sick and wounded soldlers of the United States army andthe sall- ars of the navy. That is the prime rpose. - Mr. Allen spoke bricfly about ice Nightingale and continuing said the benner of the Red Cross i one neutral banner which is respected by all armies and navies of the world. Mr. Allen_said he believed that the Norwich Chapter of Red Cross would be succebsful in their membershin Principal Henry A. Tirrell of the Norwich Free Academy sald: Some years ago I spent a summer in Berlin schools and what 1 saw was the best and worst in the world. The pupils on the average were two years ahead of our pupils. The schools are main- tained by heartless severity and huns fireds of chiléren commit suicide each year. ' What is true of the school is true of all of the Prussian govern- ment. It is a founded theory that the individual has no right, his only rights are given by the state. The crime of Prussian efficiency Is that it has kill- ed mercy. I do mot believe that the mass of the German people are respon- sible for the system that prevails. In- dividualism and independence has been crushéd by Prussianism. The state is not the highest law, the individoal has rights. Democracy may be weak ‘n some ways but in democracy every citizen has something to fight for, not for lords, but for liberty. War cannot be ended until Prussianism is crushed from this world. The Naval Reserve Force. Lieut. Commander G. S. Goldie of the United States Naval reserve force spoke concerning the workings of the patrol squadron. He told of the length of enlistment, the pay, duties, etc. He emphasized the fact that it was most libera] offer the government has made [g Goldie cited in fighting arms. Lieut. concerning other interesting phases this branch of service. GERMAN-AMERICAN THOUGHT ON AMERICA AT WAR Based On Comment On the President’s War Message to Congress. Unequivocal loyality is the key-note of the articles in the German-Amer? can press on the President’s war-mes- sage to Congress. It is true, however, that eome of the mouthpieces of Ger- man-American opinion exercise a dis- creet reticence and confine their eii- torial remarks to subjects germana to the issue, such, for example, as e attitude of organized labor to unive; sal service, thus avoiding a direct discussion of the message, says the Literary Digest. As a flat-footed ‘America-first” stand the attitude of the New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung would be hard to beat. Prominently dis- played upon its front page we find this: “The President has placed the issue of peace or war directly before the Congress. Upon the action of tnis bigh court depends the future couiee of the American nation. “The Congress speaks for all Amer- icans regardless of party or race. The Staats-Zeitung will support loya:ly any action taken by the representa- tives of the people.” Continuing the discussion under the heading, “At the Thresold of War,” the Staats-Zeitung says: “The address of the President ae- manding a full and complete wa-fare againet the German Imperial Govern- ment will come as & shock to millions of Americans of German ancestrv. The steps iéading to the present crisis have been taken during a period of over two years, but the actuality will, nevertheless, occasion painful sur- Bife = v wee “We are to be one of the Allies in fact as well as in name. The tre- mendous resources of the nation are to be mobilized and thrown into the scale against the Imperial Govern- ment. “The President need have no con- cern as to the lovalty of Americans of German ancestry.

It's truly wonderful—i: stops fermentation and acidity and sets things straight, so gently and easily that it is really sa- tonishin —— clares that America has no quarrel with the German people. He also say: that America will not wage war againet German's allies. Mr. Wilson s anxious to detach Germany's allies from her. We fear that his endeavors will be fruitless. We are certain, for instance, that if the Austrian Emper- or should concliie a separate peace, he would be confronted with a revol tion of his German subjects. In ve- spect to Mr. Wilson's declaration taat the war is not aimed at the German people, we think he has a lurking sus- picion’ that they would quickly cast off their kings and princes if they saw a strong demoncratic power ready to eld them against their enemies, while they set their house in order. Many of them would prefer a repubil- can form of government, but they ieei that if they follow their inclinations at this time the resuiting internal dis- turbances would permit the enemy t> enter the gates and to devastate Ger- many. Germany will remain a mon- srchy till after the war, just for thie reason.” A similar interest in the _political trend is displaved by the Baitimore Correspondent, which remarks: “The moral effect will bé that Ruf- sia and Italy will, for the time at least, not think of agreeing to peace-pro- posals. Our _declaration will prolong the bloody struzgle.” A fine declaration comes from the Cleveland Wachter und Aazeiger: For Americans of German birth it is to be a war of brother against brother, and in many cases of eon against father, a war against the sweet memories of childhood and friendship. Days of untold sorrows and bitterness are in store for us, terrible days of conflict between duty toward our country and natural sympathy for the land of our fathers. There can not be any question as to which of the two duty or sympathy, will prevail; for perfidy is not a German trait, and if i* should break our hearts, America shall not find us wanting. The time for ar- gument is past. Every man's duty is clear.” There is a subacid note in some of the comment. For exaple, the Louis ville Anzeiger writes: you'll find the newest and best developments in the famous Vansity Fifty Five Suits; for young men and men who like young style.

The response is most promising. There has been fear on the part of the farmers that the home garden movement would tend to throw off the prices, but it is in the minds of the commission the feeling that tho home garden movement will take care of only perishable foods. What we are anxious to do is to increase the out- put of the farms. The farmer this _ast vear has been very much affected by labor and the farm has not yet been adjusted to the rate of wage. Three- fifths of the tillable soil of the world is in North and South America. We have got to get live, energetic men back on the farms. The movement has begun and we must impress the farm- er, the people of the country, that now is’ the time for service. Universal Military Training. Major Fred A. Fox spoke briefly on universal military training and he ask what is universal training? ft_js something good enough for evéfy country in Europe. The volunteer eystem is all right but the volunteer goes to his work with- out knowledge. Our nation not oniy needs universal military training, but it is good for the voung men. The young men of today iack discipline. At home here you hear young men call their parents the old lady or the old gentleman, but after a year’s training in the army it is mother and father, and a little of that spirit would do our young men good. It is the purpose to give every young man one yvear of actual training in the best school, T believe, on this earth, and Major Jox explained the other phases of the triin- ing. There is only one neutral coun- try in Europe; that is Switzerland, where every man is trained to fight. The kaiser with all his meanness Fas not dared to put one foot on the Swiss soil, he has not dared to fly over Switzerland with his airships. Major Fox told of the organization of mill- tary companies in the state of Pean- sylvania_which were used to quell the strikes that broke out among miners, showing the calibre of men who have graduated from actual service. As for volunteers, there has been a call for The influential St. Louis Westiiche Post is equally emphatic: ne point in the President’s me: sage is significant. War should be made against only the German Empire and not against its allies. Because of this, diplomatic relations with Austria- Hungary, Turkey, and Bulgaria remain unbroken, a state of affairs which hardly can last, but which nevertheless presents the only hope of a peaceful adjustment. Therecan exist no doubt over the standing of American citizens of German extraction. Where we stand has been ably set forth by the honored veteran, Major Carl Lenz, who cripled for life in the Civil War, Fe told the Mayor of Newark: German-Americans do not_have to sgive assurances of loyalty. They have steadily shown themselves to be true in the message which promises a prac- tical solution as to the carrying sut and ending of the adventure.” Use “Gets-It,” Lift Corn Right Off Shrivels, Loosens—and It's Gene! “Just like taking the lid off—that's how easy you can lift a corn off your toe after it has been treated wth the wonderful discovery, ‘Gets-It”” Hunt the wide world over and you'll find nothing so magic, simple and easy as “Gets-It.” You f o1k s who have wrapped your toes in bandages to 100k and dutiful citizens; with their hlood they have heiped to build and upheld the nation.’ In Cincinnati we find a determina- tion to recognize citizen's duty and to do it. Thus the Volksblatt says: “We agree with the President tkat war exists between the United States and Germany, and that all the citizens must comply’ with the duties arising out of the state of war. All other statements in the President's speech we_disapprove and reject. The Cincinnati Freie Presse wrices: ‘Whatever may happen, our country shall have no better guardian of its internal peace than the American cit- izen of German parentage. The nation rightfully expects us to know our duty, and we must and will prove. that we are determined, as all true, faithful, and honest citizens should be, not to deviate one hair's breadth from :zhe narrow path that our duty and ou conscience point out to to walik. The Frele Presse heaves a sigh of relief that the President has so de- fined America’s attitude that German- Americans can continue to hate Eng- land as much as they please: “The war that the United States may lead against Germany has noth ing in_common with the objects for which England and her Allies are fight- ing. If we should enter the war we will not go in for conquest. For tnis reason we shall not be compeiled to change our sentiments toward Fng- land it we wish to avold a conflict with our duties as American citizens. But we stand and fall with the land of our choice. The welfare of our olunteers for some time. In the state of Connecticut we have 45 compaaies of National guard, and there is not one company that is foll. Then why should we hold to the old system of volunteers? I say universal military training belongs to all, it is our duty. What would. be the worth of a nation 7 it had no obligations? The Selective Draft Favored. John A. Mitchell introduced a reso- adopted country is_sacred to us, and to Euard our intérnal peace is our uty. Interesting opinions as to the polit- ical yesults that may follo win Ger- man¥ from America’s participation are exprest by the New Yerk Heold, which savs: “There are two features In the Pres- ident’s a that are especially noteworthy. In the first place, he de like bundles, who have used salves that turned 'vour toes ruw and more, and used plasters that would shift from ther place and never “get” the corn, and who have dug and picked at your corns with knives and scissors and perhaps made them bleed—just quit these old and painful ways and try “Gets-It” just once. You put 2 or 3 drops on, and it dries at once. There's nothing to stick, You can pt your shoe and stocking right on agali. The pain is all gone. Then the corn dies a painless, shriveling death. It loosens from your toe, and off it comes. “Gets-It” is the biggest sell- ing corn remedy in the world today. There's none other as good. ‘Gets-It” is sold by drugsists everywhere, 25c a bottle, or sent on receipt of price by F. Lawrence & Chicago, 11 GEORGE G.
