POLICE DEPARTMENT GETS MOTOR VEHICLE INSTRUCTIONS Automobiles Will Be Allowed to Run Under Old Numbers Only a Short Time. . The local police department has re- ceived the following notice from R. L. B. Stoeckel, commissioner of motor vehicles, regarding the licensing of automobiles. The notice reads as fol- lews: The department has issued and de- livered all the 1918 registrations ap- plied for to date and is keeping up to its daily work. There is no rea- son, so far as the department is con- cerned, why say car shall be allowed to run under old numbers for more than a very reasonable time. For the sake of uniformitv it is suggest- eg that parties running under old numbers be warned up to and through January 5th, and that thereafter the law be enforced. Beginning January 1st each police department and inspector, to which this letter is sent, wil] receive direct from the contracting printer a daily printed list of the registrations issued by this department. This list will give all registrations and corrections up to about 48 hours before the re- ceipt of the iist, and one copy will be furnished without charget. A lim- ited number of additional copies are available and may be had for police purposes only, and as arrangéd with this office, such additional copies will necessarily be charged for by the de- partment at cost of production. At about July 1st, 1918, the depart- ment will publish a book of registra- tions. The book will approximate 500 pages, and besides the registrations, will include statistics, information re- garding highways and routes in Con- necticut, driving, examination -sched- ules, rulings of the department, and in general such information as will be useful to motérists. The book will be solq at cost, now expected to be one dollar, delivered, and the depart- ment will receive subscriptions to the same. ESSEX MAN MADE SEDITIOUS STATEMENT, Given 30 Days in Jail and Fined $25 in New London Court. “The president should get his” and “men who enlist are fools,” ' were ameng the remarks addressed to a voung man in the uniform of the navy by George Warner, 47 years old, of FEssex., a painter, employed by the Behrens. & Bushnell Co.. automobile dealers, in Ivoryton, which caused his arrest and_presentatin in the Neiv London_police court Friday morning. Judge Coit imposed a fine of $25 and a 30 days’ term in jail. 2z sailor was in a State street restaurant when Warner came in. Warner was intoxicated and ub- serving the man in uniform addressed him in manner stated. Controlling his_temper. the . sail- or. instead of obevinz his first im- pulse to strike Warner, left the res- taurant and called Pafrolman Frank Geer, who arrested the offender. Warner told the court that it is strange that he should have said such things, and said, “Why, I am for this country. your honor, and cannot un- derstand why I made such remarks.to the sailor. It surely was the effects the liquor. I am sorry. It isn't a bit like me,” he concluded with much feeling. Warner said that he was born in Lyme. and has lived in Essex about seven vears, where he has been stead- ily employed by Behrens & ishnell of Ivoryton. He pleaded with the court to give him .a chance, saving that he could furnish the highest cre- dentials regarding his character. Judge Coit in passing sentence said to Warner: character, and you may be a loyal American, but if liquor causes vou to make such remarks, in which you criticise the federal pdlicy in enter- ing this war, and the attitude of the young men who have entered the ser- vice, I advise you to stop drinking, for such remarks uttered at this time very serious.” After the sentence had -been Sto- riounced by the court Warner pleaded with the judge to suspend the jail term. This the court agreed to com- sider, but, following a conference be- tween Acting Prosecuting Attorney Frank Q. Cronin and Judge Coit, in the latter’s room, the sentence was sustained and Warner was committed to_the Franklin street jail. Warner came to New Lendon to have a little celebration and’ evidently intended to take some of the joy home with him, for when he was searched at police headquarters one pint and two half-pint bottles of whiskey were found in his possession. e BEANK PREPARES INCOME TAX COLLECTION NOTICE Tax Colector Will Be st Local Post- office for Two Conths.

Mulligan, State Chairman of War Work Fund, Delivers Stirring Address—Arthur F. Libby Tells of War Bureau Work—Rev. J. H. Broderick ‘Acted as Chairman. WILLIAM J. MULLIGAN evening White Cross council 2 . held a largely attended war rally in connection with the campaisn for the K. of C. war work fund which they will conduct here in January. Be- forc the meeting the K. of C. four- ‘piece orchestra rendered several selec- tions. The meeting was called to or- - by Grand Knight John H. Carne: who introduced Rev. J H. Broderick | as chairman_of the meeting. Father Broderick called on John M. Lee, the secretary of the council, to read the letters from Mayor Brown and Rev.| E. S. Worcester. Mayor Brown ex-| pressed his regret that a severe at- | tack of lumbago prevented his attend- ing the meeting but expr ng his hopes for the success of the campaign. Mr. Worcester was unable to’ at- tend owing to a previous encagement but -he, too, sent his wishes for a suec-! ces: Father Broderick then made a few remarks on the bject of the work which the K. of C. is carrying on and pointed out that the K. of C. is strict- Iy non-sectarian in its work in the {amps and that it in no.manner con- flicts with the Y. M. C. A. with whom the organization is now co-operating in_France He then introduced William J. Mulli gan. of Thompsonville, ational Di- rector of the Knights of Columbus and state chairman of the K. of C. War Fund Committee. . Mr. Mulligan said lows: This war is one in which American people are defending the democratic principals of government under which we live and have prospered for over 149 years. We know no divine rights of kings. The people are the sover- eign source of all power. The rea- sons which made the nations of Bu- rope engage in the conflict and the reasons which prompted individual nations to enter the world war may be left for history to decide, but we know now that America entered tha war for no selfish greed, but to up- hold the principles of righteousness and justice. The Knights of Columbus is an agency through which the government is working so that the soldiers and sailors may be kept strong physically and morally while im the service and enable them to return to their homes as well as when they left. In this work the order not working as a fraternal organization but as a trus- 21l people. Both the Knights lumbus and the Y. M. buildings in the caiitonments in this country re open to all regardless of creed or color. But the Knights of Colum- bus look after the spiritual welfare of the Catholics as the Y. M. C. A. |looks after the spiritual welfare of. the Protestants. While our soldiers were at the bor- der eighteen months ago the Knights of Columbus engaged in this same | work ang tne funds required to erect the buildir equip them and con- lduct them were taken from the gen- eral funds of the order. When Amer- ica first declared war the order de- cided to raise $1,000,000 and an as- sessment was levied on the member- ship which raised about $700,000, the balance of $300,000 we expected to collect from our mémbership, but as the operations of our government in- creased our work broadened and it ‘was decided at the convention in Chi- cago last August to raise a fund of $3,000,000 ‘so_that the work would not be lacking in any particular branch As time went on we found ourselves engazed in a larger work so that to- day we.. realizing that in order to successfully co-operate with the gov- ernment in its undertakings—find it necessary to call upon the public throughout the country for $10,000,000. In each of the cantonments and na- val stations we anticipate erecting for the benefit of the soldiers and sailors, from one. to three buildings, equip them with stationery. baths, musical instruments . and other necessities which will provide comfort and en- joyment to all boys in the service. Secretaries are in charge of the build- ings and chaplains furnished both here and abroad wHo-will look after the spiritual needs of all -boys. At the present time we have sev enty-nine buildings. erected at an av- erage cost of '$8,000. It is estimated that stationery and envelopes alone for' one year will cost $300,000, At the present time we have forty-five chaplains in the United States who are being maintained by the fund. One hundred ‘ang fifty secretaries at $900 a year -and ‘twenty-five secretaries at $1200 a-vear each. 'Ten chaplains are abread and an over-seas commission- er .who will report at thé board meet- ing -in .January regarding the .con- struction work in Europe. It is es- timated . that- not less than $10,000,- 000 is needed to carry on the. work already_started. . The Y. M. C. A. have been gener- ously helped by Catholics in * their campaign for funds and in such places | as the Knights of Columbus have had their drive Y. M. C: A. workers have willingly responded. Difference of re- ligions beliefs is not considered Dy men who are in the trenches and’ the folks at home should have no: differ- ence-of opinion. -We are ali endeav- | ‘oring - to carry -out. the same great purpose, we are all engaged in the | same work. - The victory, which we confidently expect, ‘and: God willing will, surely - come, will. effect ail In the same way.. -Therefore I:am sure ‘that.the people in Norwich will. rally. to -the support .of -the Knights of Co- lumbus in. this city in their effort to have the city do -its full share in the in part as fol- | | raising of funds which ‘will mean so e I e ng e o o enemy homes will be protected maintained, but “will be _stronger. . ‘the. “the- time . that the people must be m‘I:ed manse }to take the place of the mayor i So there is i the eity will be give mave the shot ave hurling. at the world.

It was.a. pic- ture of a srake divided into sezments and under it the motto Enited W Stand, Divided We Fall. That prin- cipal was lald down in Revolutionarv times by Benjamin Franklin. but it holds just as.strong, if not stronger today than then. Germany has ob- tained her present position hecause of the conserted effort of all her pop- ulation. Consider the geographical the sitnation. like a hub of a wheel with all of Ger- many’s superb railroads and camals as the spokes. According to the old formula the circumference with the allies are holding is 3.1416 times {he diameter which is twice the distance the German troops go to reach a giv en point from the center of the .wheel. To combat this obstacle we mast have conceried effort. You all know that troops must break step on a bridge as it is impossible to buiid a bridge strong enongh to stand the strain of the men marching in step.. . No AH-Ameritan football team no:matter how brilliant the indiviruals players could win with out teamwork. The eleven players must play as a team in'order -to do any scoring and this pation must get together if it is to score in the con- flict in Furope. What is this job we. are undertak- ing? We sre going to teach Germany that war is no longer profitable. War profitable? you say. Yes, was is profit- able. In 1866 in the Seven Weeks’ War Germuany added ten rich provinces to her.domain. . In.1870 she added two more. ~ For forty veaxs mow she has been preparing for another war, this time with the world as the stake. Con- sider the map again. On the west is Belziuvm devastated and raped, on the east Russia, bankrupt and in revolu- tion, on ‘the north, Denmark, cowed with fear of the war lord, on the south Ttaly, with her tefritory invaded. Con- sider the Pan-Germanic . plans of the empire_and consider the price if w2 fail. It means the temporary, if not the permanent loss of self zovernment to most of the nations involved in the war, the up-keep-of hugh armies and navies by those that’ retain their gov- ernments ‘and the’ abolishment of. the Monroe Doctrine. We are fighting the same fight as our fathers foight a century and a half ago when we fought the German kihg on the English throne. As Col elt _says, we are fighting Ger- in France that we may not have to fight here here.
