Promptly at 2.30 o'clock the parade started, headed by Marshal Charles W. Gale, and marched from the Waure- gan_house “corner over Main street to ‘Washington square, through Water, street to Shetucket and from thence tu the Chelsea Savings bank, where they countermarched over Main street to Broadway and from there to Union square. The exercises which- were to Lave been held on the square were held in the town hall owing to the ram. In line was the Liberfy loan committee, of which nearly every member was present. Chairman Charles R. Butts headed the commit- teemen, each one wearing a Liberty button. The postoffice force made a fine ap- pearance, every man in the seryice of the local office being in line. The postoffice delegation was headed by Postmaster 9. P. Murphy and Assistant Postmaster Burns. The next organization in line was the Boy Scouts, headed by Scout Com- missioner B. M Bruce. The scolts showed their patriotism, as £5 turned cut in uniform. 5 The K. of C. also made a good show- ing with a large number of members in line. The members of this organ- zation have ali done tyeir share in the campaign for the second Liberty loan. This delegation was headed by J. J. Corkery as marshal. Polish Societies Turned Out. The Polish societies alsb showed their patriotism by turning out 130 strong. Tiey were somewhat late in arriving but they had the spirit of the day with- them just the same. They were headed by the Polish band. The two companies of Home guard who were to have marched assembled at the armory at the appointed time, ready to march. but at a council of the officers on the advice of the med- ical officers it was decided that it would not be prudent to march in the rain in their thin cotton uniforms. Their spirit was in the right place but as they may be called upon some day for active service it was thought that it was best to take no chances of weak- ening the ranks through sicknéss trought on by rain. Several factories ghut down at moon and the majority of the stores wege closed from 1 to 4 o'clock. The Free Academy closed at the long recess and the grammar schools had only one ses- sion. Mayor Brown Presiding Officer. The meeting in the town hall was largely attenled by the patriotic citi- zens of Norwich. Mayor Allyn L. Brown presided at the meeting and in Pis opening address sai In common with the people of the i irom the Atlantic to the Paclfic, and from the Mexican border to Canada, together h those of Alaska. the Philippines and the other possessions of the United States, we have gather- ed in this patriotic demonstration to- day to do owr part locally In furthering the second Liberty" loan. The success of this project is of the utmost impor- tance to our ccuntry at war, not only to provide for the necessary money for equipment which will mean the saving of the lives of thousands of our men m the fighting forces, but also to give an unequivocal answer to the Prussian war lords’ claim that the people of this country are not behind the government in the war. The effect of this answer upon the morale of Germany cannot be mated. So important is it tr&t the president. by a most unusual procl mation, has desiznated this as the da) cf_days for all to participate in this great patriotic service. In past wars. when the president has called upon Norwich, together with otker communitles. for support, the call has been answered fuily and promptly. Scone of you here today were among those to offer vour lives when Presi- dent Lincoln called. Many more of you by purchasing government bonds ac that time provided the essentials of warfare in the country’s need. Again ji1: 1898 many others of you made a !'similar generous response. And now, with our increased resources and popu- Iation, the country again calls, through tlie president. for men and money.

Within Reachy of Everyone. { In his talk Mayor Brown also re- ](erred to the derominations of the i bonds, saying that they were within the reach of everyone. Small bonds for the small buyer and large ones for the large purchaser. He also told of the terms on which bonds could be pur- | chased saying that 2 per cent. could be paid with the application, 18 per | cent. on Nov. 15, 1917, 40 per cent. on i Dee. 15, 1917, and the remaining 40 per cent. on Jan. 15, 1918, with accrued interest_on both deferred instaliments. Mayor Brown aiso told of the easier terms which local banks were nmaking to purchasers of the bonds. A Safe Investment. Following Mayor Browns' address, Principal Henry A. TYrrell of the Nor- wich Free Academy in a forceful ad- dress told of the Liberty bond as a safe investment. - Mr. Tirrell said: Teliow Citizens: If T were addressing a group of selfish people bent solely on their own safety, intent only on their own savings, 1T should tell them that the safest investment in the world is a United States bond. That bond is secured, if need be, by all the wealth of this vast country. It is as sure that it will be paid, with its interest, as it is that our government will en- dure. If ever the United States should e unable to meet its bonds, no se- | cur fellow ci Liberty Day Parade Held in Spite of Stormy Weather—Inspir- - ing Addresses Delivered in Town Hall by Mayor Allyn L. |® Brown and Henry A.

But I am ot addressing selfish peo- I am speaking to American citi- patriots who believe in the States, and what it stands for. We are living in a land of freedom, where “a man's a man,” where every honest citizen stands squarely on his feet and faces the world without fear, where the government provides for him and his (life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” We are at war with a government that knows not the meaning of free- @om, where nine-tenths of the people are in subjection to despotic masters, where the man in uniform crowds the intelli- " Freedom Would Di If that government triumphs, dom “will de. ‘We are living in a land that respects womanhood and childhood.

Our best friend, our protector, our Lope, asks us not to give but to lend a small part of our property. If she asked us to give it all, we ought glad- 1y _to comply. What have you done?

Your bit is as important to your country as that of any one else. Den’t be a slacker! The kaiser and his henchmen have long looked for “The .Day”—the day when they shall strike at the heart of mankind, when their black plans shall come true. A day will come. but it will be a day of reckoning for the pirate and his crew, a day of judg- ment, when the junkers and their lead er wiil come before mankind to give acéount. In that judgment our country will take part. What have vou done to hasten that day? To give heart to, the friends of iberty. to dishearten its foes? Think of those who are giving all Think of the hundreds of thousands who have left their homes to give all their time and effort to their country. Think of them as they face death in the sea. Think of them in the trench- Think of their determined faces s they go “over the top” to meet-the machine gun and cannon fire. Think of those that will not return. And can you be content to do nothixg? Will you fail? Don’t wait! . Act today! Let your voice be heard for freedom! Send the shout of liberty rolling round the world till it reaches the palace of the mad kaiser himself! BOY SCOUTS SHOW THE RIGHT SPIRIT Twenty-five Braved the Storm Wed- nesday and Marched in the Rain. Can rain dampen the spirits of Boy Scouts? “Not so as you could notice it” say the Nerwich boys. The for- rents of rain on Wednesday afternoon did not prevent 25 of them from show- ing up on “time for the parade, and they were given an honorable place iat the right of the line, following the Liberty Loan committee. Neiiher did the rain prevent a zood shcwing in subscription work. For the day the troops reported a total of 105 sub- scriptions for $12,050. This is by far the best result yet reported because individual subscriptions in large num hers is the gém of scouts the country over during this campaign. Five hundred subscribers in the nex: two_days is noy the goal. The totals for Wednesday ¥nd to date follow: ‘Wednesday To Date Troop. Subs. Amount. Subs.

Word has been received from rational headquariers that local coun- cils may use their discretion as to the closing time for their scout campaign. The original pian was to have it close on October 25th, but it is now per- mitted to continue the work as long as subscriptions will be received at the local banks. For the Norwich scouts, the limit has been set for Friday night at 9 o'clock, and at this time all appli- ! cations secured by scouts must be at the designated bank, and in every case the initial payment must be in the bank by 9 o'clock.

NAVY TO MAN ALL TRANSPORTS HEREAFTER Decision Was Hastened by the Sinking of the Antilles ‘Washington, Ocvt. 24—Blue jackets will man and nav3l officers will com- many army transports hereafter. Officials believe this will insure more efficient operation of the ships, partic- uarly in the war zone, where the strain on a crew is greatest, and so lessen the risk of destruction by submarines. Decision to have the navy operate the transports. announced today, is be- lieved to have been hastened by the sinking of the Antilles, manned by ci vilians. It was pointed out that thé highly trained and disciplined naval forces are far more effective than a constantly changing civilian personnel. This is regarded as particularly true of the fire room, upon which a ship's speed largely depends. A lile The manning of the transportsywill make necessary a large increase in the navy personnel and the general board is understood to have recommended that congress be asked in December to authorize an additional 80 000 men, 30,000 for the permanent naval forces and 50,000 for the period of the war. With the transports turned to the navy, it was decided to have the ship- ping board operate all cargo vessels, including those carrying supplies for the armed forces abroad. Thus was settled a question between the navy and shipping board which began with the decision to build and commandeer- merchant ships. In anticipation of today’s agreement. the navy has been training men es- pecially for the transport service and a large force is understood to be available now. Others will be trained as rapidly as possible, so that not only all existing transports can be manned. but also the new ones now buildin These latter have been especially de- signed and will be much faster than the standard cargo vessels. They are planned for a speed of 18 knots, The high speed .will furnish one protection against submarines, but still another will be supplied in the ships themselves. They will be so constructed as to be safe against one torpedo and it is believed that two probably will not sink them. The manning of the transports by bluejackets will release many men for the cargo vessels operated by the shipping board. The crews for these ships present an even greater prob- lem than does the personnel for the navy ships but the shipping board is training large forces at several schoois along the coast and expects to be able properly to man the cargo cariviers as fast of they are built. .
