Liberty! Liberty! The s2mé kind of lubricotion will make yos—car Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart of Har- !vard university was the next spealker. I Professor Hart started by reciting one jof Walt Whitman’s patriotic poems. Continuing he said, Liberty resounds all around, even on the posters that lare adorning the walls of this hall. | Liberty that resounds throughout the jcity, throughout the _ state and i throughout. the land. Liberty binds to us.

Protessor Hart referred to the great German military machine, the German nation 2nd _its emperor whose prin- ciples are like the principles of the kings of Syria. I tremble for my country when I see what other coun- tries have suffered, said the professor on continuing and after dwedling a few moments on the Belgian situation he said, the same fate came to others when they were conquered. Touching on the Armenian massacre, the speak- er referred to the pomsibilities of its avoidance by the German ambassa- dor. Dragged Into Slavery. If this city were to be conquered by a German force, what would hap- pen? There would be a German gov- ernor general over you. The leading citizens of Norwich would be held prisoners and if th Germans needed labor done, people sitting right here in this hall would be dragged out and put to work. The Germans have treated people in the way that they have, mot be- cause they were Belzians or any other nationality, but because they were weak. From the very merest point of view the completion of the Liberty »ond must be accomplished and com- pleted in such a way that we can an- nounee that it was taken freely. Germans Are Responsible. The Gerfnans as a people are re- sponsible for this war and they are responsible for the way in which it is being fought. Praofessor Hart said that he was in Servia about foyr years ago and that e will never forget seeing people aut a_summer resort enjoving music, etc. These people did not sin: the only thing was that they were in the way wheel ground them to_the earth. We are the richest natlon on the earth, we have the best mines in the world, probably excepting China. We have every facility to work with and we must apply these materials. There is a considerable lot of tooting going on in Washington instead of getting right down to business in raisinz ar mies. The people at large in this country have not yet woke up to the need of organization. We as a nation do not realize the great need of or- ganfzation, the organization of work in the mills and factories to win this war, as well as at the front. We are now startinz on the organi- zation of a sreat citizen army which should have been organized two and one-half years ago. In reforring to possibilities of a Ger- man_invasion, Prof Hart sald, when our navy, the first line of defense, is gone, we should have a great army ready. In subscribing to the Liberty loan it is mot only putting your mon- ey in the hamds of the zovernment but it is placing your .confidenee back of it. There are many things that we have zot to reorganize and the way to protect ourselves is to stand by cur guns. Charles C. Elwell, who 1s conducting the Liberty loan campaign in this city was the final speaker. In part Mr. Elwell said: By profession T am a bond salesman, but also another evidence of the world war for nothing short of a world war wonld tempt me into trying to make a speech. I will feel perfectly at home however if you will let me sell. First I will deal with the class, among whom we find some brainy men. They greet the libert: bondman with the expression “Oh, T am glving to this and that,_and I have got to stop somewhere.” You can see why we call this the infant class, thev don’t even realize that this is not a gift but merely the United States government asking its citizens to in- vest their money In a mew and safer ¢ than ever before. Next we come to the second class who still persist in talking politics saying “If the government had only done so and so, etc.” To this class let me put this question “What #ould become of us if our army should dis- pute our generals in such a way and question orders or How shamed would our country be if our destrovers which are doing such }wod work in the Eng- lish waters, should come. salling home because thev got some order they did not like * We are a David army and MgAdoo s our general and it is just as much our duty to do and die as it is that of the poor soldier whose Kfe is at stake. And our money is not even at_stake, Does not this graduate this class Now we come to the class who savs “I can’t afford to put my money out at 2 1-2 per cent. and can use it to bet- ter advantage elsewhere.” This is a class that you won't stay in long. Ladies and gentlemen, when you real- ize that the difference between 4 and 3 1-2 per cent on $50 is.twenty-five cents ‘a year. is vour sacrifice com- pared with the sacrifipe of a soldler who gives up home, a salary of maybe $150 per month and takes $30 a month You won't feel right without your share of the Liberty Loan. THE THAMES NATIONAL BANK infant Censists of Five Members and At a meeting of the local home con- Servation committees of the different towns in the county held at New Lon- don on Tuesday afternoon a county women's advisory board of five mem- bers was appointed to direct the work of the woman’s department of the Farm Bureau. Presegt at the meet- ing were one hundred women repre- senting the towns of Norwich, New London, Waterford, Niantic, Old Lyme, Hamburg, Colchester, Bozrah, Lisbon, Ledyard, Mystie, Groton, Stonington and Jewett C In several instances full committees were present and in others the chairman represented the committee. The mecting wa: called to order at i2 oclock by President Charles P. Sushnell and in the absence of' the secretary, Woodbury O. Rogers, Coun- Warner acted. Pro F. S. Hitchcock, principal of the New London Vocational School, delivered an interesting address on Food Short- age. Mies M. J Campbell, home dem- onstration agent of the Farm Bureau, also spoke. She advocated canning, saying that each family should pot up at least a thousand cans of preserves. There were short talks on food con- servation work being carried out in the different communities of the coun- ty. These talks were siven by Miss Katharine Ludington of Old Lyme, Miss Cora S. Marsh of. New London. Mrs. Krupp of Old Lyme i3 with her mother, Mrs. Charles Moss, planning to open up a_community canning fac- tory in Old Lyme this summer. Miss Annie Aver® of Colchester told of the work in that town and Miss Louise | Howe and Mrs, Edward J. Graham of this city told of the 488 school gar- dens and the 200 home gardens here. Mrs. Harry Hunt reported for the antic committee. ty Agent F. C. The secretary spoke of the action taken by the FFarm Bureau executive committee in recommending the for- mation of a county women’s advisory board to consist of five members and to direct the work of the wemen’s de- partent of the Farm Bureau in con- junction with the executive commit- tee. The meeting endorsed the rec- ommendation and the following were ciected to the county women’s advis- ory board: Miss Louise Howe, Nor- EN'S ADVISORY BOARD Will Direct Work of New De- partment of Farm Bureau—One Hundred Women At- tended Meeting of Home Conservation Committees. wich; Miss Cora S.

The advisory board then held a meeting and organized with Miss Ludington chairman and Miss Flowe recording secretary. Miss Lud- ington by becoming chairman of this hoard also becomes a member of the home conservation committee of the women’s branch of the Connecticut Council of Defense. The meeting adjourned for an in- formal session so that the different committees could meet with Miss Campbell, home demonstration agent and arrange for meetings and demon- strations in the different towns. Thir- teen such demonstrations were ar- ranged for and one of them will be held in Norwich on next Monday af- ternoon. M. Estella Sprague, chairman of the food conservation committee of the woman's auxiliary of the state coumcil of defense, has cailed a meeting of the committee to be held in Hartford Wed- nesday, June 13. The committee at that time will consider plans for an ex- tensive program of food conservation. Demonstrations in canning and other methods of food preservation to be op- erated in co-operation with groupg of housewives have been proposed and the committee will discuss various methods for bringing such work be- fore the people. A list of bulletins and leaflets desirable for this season’s work will be outlined. This list will be presented to the Connecticut Agri- cultural college, which has agreed at the request of the food supply commit- tee of the Connecticut council of de- fense to supply all such needed infor- mation.

SCOUTS ARE BOOMING THE LIBERTY LOAN Local Troops Have Secured 100 Sub- scribers for Tota!l of $7,200. With Tuesday's reports coming in to Scout Commissioner Bruce from the work of the Boy Scouts in their Lib- erty Loan campaign, the totals to date have L-en increased to two-ths-ds of the desired so With seven of the cfght troops reporting, a total of 65 subscriptions for S were reported on Tuesday night. This brings the grand totai to date up to 100 subscrip- tions for § The detailed report is as tollows Tuesday To Date Troop Subs. Amt. Subs.

The frst of these to report was Scout Ralph Marsh of Troop 7, Norwich Town, and he was closely followed by Scouts Harold Sterry and Claude Combies, al- so of the same troop.

S. postal sub-station No. 4, in the Sevin building on Broad street is discontinued and on July Ist, a sta- tion will be opened at 274 Broad street with W. Denef, clerk in charge. Until the opening of the new station, stamps can be procured at the Denef store but no money orders will be is- sued. for the priviledge of risking his life. Are there any left in this class 1 guess not. Now we come to the time class who say, “Well maybe I could buy a $50 bond but would it help?” To _this class let me say that the best ther- mometer of this country’s wakeness is the number of subscribers to this loan. It is this figure that Germany is watching and the man who buys a $50 bond Is ingeasing this number by just 'exactly as much as Rockefeller with his $15,000,000. It is seldom that you have the opportunity of making $50 do the work of $15,000,000 and don’t lose this chance. To the class that can't afford let me say that stenosraphers making $15 a week are subscribing and factory hands are coming in strongly and think a long time before vou say you can’'t afford lest a conscience spoil your night's sleep. Remember babies and kids are due for $35 and you are being carried like children who have the right to be when you don’t subscribe. Now we come to the graduating cl Those who intend to subscribe but haven't as yet. Subscribe now, so that when asked on the street if you have a Liberty Bond you can say *You bet I have and you ought to have one and every Amer- fcan ought to have one” Such an answer will lead to other subscriptions where as the reply “No, but 'm going to” carries no weight as you have no advantage on your subject. He 1s go- ing to mavbe and is just as well off as_vou are. Now Jet the graduating élass come to the hanks at nine o'clock tomor- row and zet their diplomas In the form of a Liberty Bond. To any who failed to graduate to- night, that is to any who have or could get the $50 but refuse to sub- scribe, T hardly know what to say. ‘T would ask them to come up and statd by their flag but aithough we've got jots of flags up here we haven't got vours. I tell you what you misht &, You better zo to Germany if 2%u can get there and tell the Kalser what you have refused to do and he will give you an Tron Cross. L e SIX HUNDRED H. AND A. EMPLOYES LAID OFF Only Small Number of Men are On the Pay Roll Now. Six hundred men employed at the plant of the Hopkins and Allen Arms Company were laid off shortly after noon on Tuesday. It s understood that the men have been laid off for an indefinite period. The action tak- en by the officials of the company on Tuesday was not unexpected as it had been rumored throughout the plant for & week past that a large number of men wovld beé lald off either the lat- ter part of last weck or the first of this week. Several of those laid off Tuesday zre quoted as saying that more will follow today or in the near future. For some days past small batches of men have been laid off at irregular intervals and about a week ago the night shift was taken off be- cause of a readjustment of operations. At the present time only a smal percentage of the eighteen hundred emploves who were on the pay roll all winter have been retained. In- quiries have brought forth no informa- tion from officials connected with the concern, as to why the men are being laid off. B NATURAL CLUB. Members Gave Concert At the Tuber- culosis Sanatorium. The B Natural clnb visited the Tu- berculosis sanatorium Tuesday after- noon, where they gave a delightful program of music, which was greatly enjoved by the patients.
