The intense cold wave that gripped ew England for more than a week, has effected adversely the egg in the Storrs laying contest. Anti- ciones are not good for hens. much as the hen houses are not heat- ed, the birds are not concexned about the shortage of coal. On the other hand, the below zero temperatures kave caused considerable suffering in the way. of frozen combs and frozen wattles and in consequence, the pul- lets are not up to normal production. In the tenth week there was a total yield of 1294 egss or*600 less than for for the four year average for this pe- riod. 2 In general, lighter bresds Tare, of course, more susceptible to sudden temperature changes than the others and yet the unexpected some happens even with hens.

Over $2,000 Pledged to War Fund Sunday Afternoon. robably the most enthusiastic meet- in2 of the various gatherings held to arrange for the Knights of Columbus campaign for war funds, which starts this morning, was held Sunday after- noon at 2 o'clock in the cnuncl, cham- { ber. 3 { More than 300 members of the coun- jcii were -in attendance and as the various captains made their reports regarding the prospects in their re- i spevtice districts each one was given ian enthusiastic reception. As an indi- {cation of the great interest that is i being taken in this drive by the teams, more than $2,000 was pledged to the fund yesterday afternoon by the cap- tains and the men who make up the teams that are to engage in this drive. Preliminiary to the campaign, an- nouncements of the campaign were made in nearly all the pulpits of the city, commending the purpose of the drivé, and in gddition a number of clergymen sent personal letters to General Thomas H. Beckley endorsing j the work that is being done by the jorder of the Knights of Columbus in the various cantonments. . Following are some of the letters received: Jan, 13, 1918. Thomas H. Beckley: >| My Dear Sir: I made an urgent ap- peal to my people to support your' campaign. At Camp Devens I learned that the Knights of Columbus were doing a splendid work. parallel to that of the Y. M. C. A. and similar organ- izations. The task before us is so stu- pendous as to require the concerted effort of those who would fight the foe in the great name of Christ. Every dollar given to those war funds is a protest registered against the inzolence {of autocracy, against the crushing of little nations, against the murder of non-combatants, against the enslave- ment of free peqples, and against the cruel mutilation of prisoners of war. It will be money as well as arms that will knock the blasphemous conceit out of that supreme fakir of the ages who masquerades before his army and people as the Lord’s anointed. Wishing you the greatest success, I Most cordially yours, CHARLES H. RICKETTS. Norwich, Conn., Jan. 12, 1918. Thomas H. Beckley, Norwich, Conn.: My Dear Mr. Beckley: Your letter of the 10th inst. at hand in regard to the campaign of the K. of C. for funds to be used in the furtherance of the work along_the lines of the Y. M, C. A.and the Y. M. H. A. It is a grand work and worthy of support. T trust you will be very suc- cessful, and doubt not that you will be, in securing the desired amount of money necessary to carry on the great work of relief and prevention of ill among those who are giving of them- selves for us, and for the great cause of world liberty and righteousness. Sincerely yours, JOSEPH F. COBB. Jan. 11, 19i8. Thomas H. Beckley, Chairman: Dear Mr. Beckley: The war fund drive which you are about to inaugu- rate next Monday should s have the heartiest support of every citizén of Norwich. I know of no more noble or patriotic work in which the Knights of Columbus could engage than that of providing for the moral and physieal welfare of the young men who are in the service of our country. Every comfort given to the soldier, whether he be in the camp or on the fiting line, cannet fail to add to his efficiency, and thus bring nearer that victorious peace for which we all hape and pray. If T can be of any assistancé to you in contributing to the success of the campaign, I shall be pleased to place myself at your service. Sincerely yours, REV. J. H. BRODERICK. Dear Mr. Beckley: It will give me great pleasure to announce and most heartily endorse thie campaign of the Knights of Columbus which you are to onter upon next week. The object is original and unique and destined to meet a want not hitherto supplied. 1 hail with undisguised joy its catholici- ty of spirit.

YT i PR , campai in £ » Ly Fort salors Faithful Nayiga: of America introduced the rge S Imer. of New London. 2 Mr. Palmer spoke as follows: I was asked the other day what my business was, and in reply 1 stated that it was my business to be any: turther this great war for tiie presét- vation of democracy. That is why I have a great work to do, and I want to do my part. You are going out tomorrow 6 get $10,000 for one of the greatest causes in history, the preservation of - the morale of the U. S.-sallor and soldfer, This sum seems large to you who are just launching upon this umemxn\r but a week from today thé sum wiil seem small. This sum is not so large |} but that you will raise it as.other organizations have done before you. If yvou meet people who refuse to give and tell you that this war is un- just, tell them that if we don’t go for- ward to meet this, war the war will come to us. We are not in it to help France, but to protect Norwich. We have sent troops to France tp fight on French sell rather than to fight on the 56l of the United States. We are in this fight to a finish and we are not goirg te lay down the sword until it js won and autocracy is forever put down. This war is conducted differently than any war before;- this fact we know and T will not discuss it. We are doing things that have never been done before. ‘We are investing our president with power that the czar never dreamed of. Why are we doing it? We are doing it because we trust him and know that he will do every- thing in his power to preserve the liberty of the people for the people and by the people forever. There are organizations that are do- ing things in this -war. that the gov- ernment cannct do. The government looks out for the actual necessities of a successful war, but the organiza- tions are doing a - different kind of work, which is just as important—that s, preserve the spirit of the goldiers ?nlg sailors and care for their com- ort. < t want to speak of the Red Cross because it is a srand organization. We ralsed over $100,000 000 for the caring’ oh of its merciful work. The care of the wounded is important. That can | be seen by a- brief review ‘of previous wars, when. the wounded were not cared for until after the battle. The Red Cross ministers to the” needs of the body. Now. what is the Knights of Colum. bus doing in the camps and fields of battle? It is ministering unto the mind and spirit, the morale of the man, This war will'be won only by those who are endowed with the. spirit of right. The work of the K. of C. is to restore the spirit of the troops. When the boys come from the hcme'ietn the camps they leave behind them com- forts of home and the guiding hand of mother and father, and when the boy gets an attack of bomesickness it is very easy to fall into temptatiin. T is the purpose of the K. of C. to pros vide as near as they can the comforts of home and lead the boy over the hard places, guiding his spirit in the right direction. You are going to enter this campaign with this in mind, that you are going to give back the sp of the young man to him. At least 40 d¢ 50 per cent. of the soldiers are of the Catholic faith. Show them that you are in bacg of them and are thinking of their happiness and that you appre- ciate the sacrifice they are making. It is Wondecful the way thé Amer- can people have responded to these causes. The Y. M. C. A. raised large amounts and the Red Cross hag done the same. Now you are doing a good work and are agking a smail sum com- pared to some. Go out tomorfow with 2 will and don’t feel badly if you on get $15,000.

A ma- ¢hine that has been perfected for the past foriy years. It has brought more sorrow, and suffering than any cause before known. It hes used any means foul of fair to gain its end. 4 I not interéestéd in the cause of the . war or what is being done now, but what interests me is the ultimate conclusion. We ara in Dback of the president of this country and we are going to back him up to a man. I plead not for the boys themselves. but for the mothers who have given their all to this cause. They have cheer- fully ‘given all that they hold dear and it is the purpose.of the K. of C. to| protect these Dboys and brigg them back to their mothers just as pure as when they left their homes. They. will come back a credit to the nation and a credit to their mothers and a credit to” themselves. Tt is for this reason that T appeal to you to giv “Amerjea is a Jeader and always will be. - Little Delgium saved France and P'rance saved Europd and now .the goBd old U. 8, A.avill save the world to democracy and freedom. We will néver stop until that has been attain- ed. When this war is over we will néver hear of French-Americans, Ger- tee chairmen. The time for each port will be strictly lmited to five minutes. It is the council's place before the delegates a brief sum- mary of what has been done, as wall a8 a plan for future activities. A spe- cial committee of the council is How. at work arranging the complete pros mén-Americans . or Irish-Americans, but we will all be Americans and those wo dom't belong on our side of the fence will have to get out. T want everyone to stand in back of the hoys who are fighting for free- dom and our homes. Remember that they are carrying the flag of a nation that has never known defeat and never will. We will send a message io that devil across the sea that he will un- derstand and we will fight him with better weapons than he has ever con- ceived. We will help the bovs and save them and the boys will realize the sbirit, which we have restored to them, Mr. Burns was cheered and then Tames Sheridan proposed thrse cheers for him, Mr. Burns then proposed three cheers for Norwich which were tlven with a will.

WAR CONVENTION P IS NOW PLANNED Every Town in State Will Be Asked to Send Delegates. Connecticut will have a war con- vention at the capitol on Jan. 17 and 18 at which delegates will be present from every town in the state. In or- der that a meeting might take place at which plans might be mapped out for the conduct of the civilian war activities of Connecticut during the coming Year, Gov. Marcus H. Holcomb requested the Connecticut State Coun- cil of Defense to call together repre- sentatives of its state wide organiza- tion for a war convention in Hartford. The state council of defense imme- y for the ! diately by 5 iin Who DEOfits T this Drat. d ly took steps to carry out the and there will be no place for him when it is over in this country. It is the spirit of patriotism and fellowship that will win this war. Aft- er this great conflict there will be bét- ter feeling between those of different -creeds, better sectional feeling and the line between the aristocracy will be less marked. When those who are descendents of the Pilgrims, who cameé over in the Mayflower and those who came over in the steerage have shar- ed the same tent and have suffered in the same trench in this war, a bet- ter understanding will spring up and a new democracy will be born. This war is bringing out the human feeling of self sacrifice and 2 . new America will spring up and there will be a new understanding of the Decla- ration of Independence that all men are created cqual. There will be bet- ter laws that will do away with graft, drunkenness and do away with slums. All this will be done by a nation that believes in true democracy. This is just the right time to start & campaign and I wish you God speed vour undertaking in so great a cause, Mr. Palmer was applauded hearti- ly and when the outburst had subsid- ed Navigator Diggins announced that Mr. Palmer had generously given to the Fitchville team the sum of $300 for the work. This announcement was greeted with a burst of applause that shook the building. = He was checred again and again. 3 Taithful Navigator Diggins then in- jtroduced Billy Burns, of Comimon- wealth Pier of Boston. Mr. Burns is chief steward of the Commissary de- partment at the pier. He has. been nicknamed by his associates The Bil- ly Sunday of The Navy and he is well deserving of this title as he puts all the pep and punch of Bylly Sunday into his talks. Mr. Burns spoke. as tolows: T have travelled in a good many states in the union and it is my world. We all rejoice to be brothers and fellow workers to all men who are working to this end.
