New York, Feb. 18.—Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo today appealed to berty Loan workers in the second leral district to use their utmost orts in the forthcoming Liberty loan mpaign, declaring that “upon the ced andl efficiency with which you verform the work committed to- you depend the liveés of thousands of men d women in the world.” ’ “The one thing that impresses me this great time and gives me a simulus and intensity of feeling that [ cannot describe,” wrote Mr. McAdoo in a letter to Benjamin Strong, gov- ernor of the federal reserve bank of New York, “is the reflection that as i comparative comfort, men are dying every minute upon those battlefiélds in Europe. “They are shedding their blood with- out reservation or hesitation to save us and to save civilization in the world. Our own gallant soldiers are beginning to shed their blood upon the sacred soil of France. Our gal- lant sailors are being engulfed in the icy waters of the Atlantic as they go {forth in the defense of Americd's rights llh the perilous task of ridding the iseag of German submarines. ! “I want you to reflect today that upon the speed and efficiency with which you perform the work commit- ted to you depend the lives of thou- isands of men and women in the world, lbcca-xse the more efficient 'America makes herself in this zreat time, the jmore quickly she organizes her might and asserts it upon those battle. fronts, ithe more quickly this war will come jto a conclusion the greater the, num- ber of gallant soldiers and sailors who will be saved and the greater the num- ber of stricken civilians who will be brought back to life and happiness again.” CANADIAN STEAMSHIP PERCESIAN LOST AT SEA Was Sunk While on a Voyage Be- tween Halifax and Liverpool.

NORWICH TOWN Christ Church Rector and Vested Choir Provide Inspiring Lenten Service at Sheltering Arms—Way of the Cross at Sacred Heart Church—Personal Items. A There was evening prayer and an address by Rev. Richard R. Graham, rector of Christ Episcopal church, at the Sheltering Arms Sunday after- noon. The subject of the address was The Temptations of Jesus. At this Lenten season we are led to think of the forty‘'days of fasting in the wil- derness and the temptations which came at the end of that time, he be- gan. How could He who had no evil, who was Himself God, ho wecould He feel any real temptation or testing? The' fact that His temptations. were real show us that some of our temp- tations come as trials or tests and not always. in response to our sinful na- ture, Christ goes to the wilderness not de- liberately to be tempted, but to be alone, to plan the campaign to win men. As He plans the tempter comes. The different testings come to Him in the line of His work. The suggestions Wwere not to do actually wrong, things. When the Devil said, Cause that these stones be made into bread, he was suggesting that Christ use His divine power for .His own benefit. Is not ali the work of the world turning stones into bread? The whole question is how and in what spirit it is done. After- wards when Christ fed the 35,000 He was doing for others what He refused to_do for Himself. Hagd Christ cast Himself down from the pinnacle of the temple this show. of power would not have ‘done the Fa- ther's will or work. The devil showed Him the kingdoms of the world and suggests that Christ gain the world in the devil’'s way. Christ says the only way to gain the world is to do the will of God. Christ was thus truly tried, tempted, tested. We cannot grow in strength unless we meet and over- come temptations. We should think of Him not only as Victor but as the syvmpathizing Savior who would shield us from temptation. When we have done that which we ought not to have done there is still pardon for us through Him who gave His life for the sins of the world. The hymns for tlv. day were sung in sweet, clear tones by the boy choir un- der the direction of W. F. Habekotte. They included, Almighty ‘God Whoso Only Son, Approach My Soul the Mer- cy Seat, and Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken. Catholic Church Service.

State Fish and Game Commissioner John M. Crampton has left for Wash- ington to be present with other game commissioners -and men interested in the fis hand oyster industries in the United State sat a conference with Federal Food Commissioner Herbert Hoover to protest against the pro- posed federal law which will throw open coast and inland waters to any cne who wishes to securs fish. The federal food rezulator proposes to solve the food and high cost prob- lems ‘to some extent by thus getting people to eat more fish, and save the meat. Franklin L. Homan, representing the oyster industry of Rhode Island and two members of the ‘Rhode Island Shell Fish- commission, have -left the city to be present dt the conferences and with them went Secretary Mar- skall of -the Connecticut Shell Fish commission. “All these men with oth- ers of states of the union propose to exert their influence with Mr. Hoover against any such proposed rejaxation of the laws governing the crustacean and shell fish- industry of their states which have been established by a great deal of agitation, labor and police | work. Mr. Crampton said- before leaving that Governor Holcomb is in favor of no such lack of regulation of the fish- ing industry and his opinion will be communicated- to Mr. Hoover. Food Commissioner Scoville, of the state, does not approve of it. “If the gov- ernment should so allow any one who secures a federal license, as proposed, to - fish ,in any stream or coast water of the state,” said Mr. Crampron, “the lobsters in waters of this state would be annihilated®in six weeks. The shad which we have tried so long and so hard to preserve in'the sireams and estuaries 'of the state would be al- most wiped out. This would permit anyone to go with a fishing line or net and at any time of the year, even be- fore the spawn is . developed, get the fish.” TO PLACE FOODSTUFFS UNDER PRESIDENTIAL CONTROL The Object of a Bill Completed by the House Agriculture Committee. \ ‘Washington, Feb. 18.—Specific au- thority for the control of the manu- facture and distribution of foodstuffs and of publia eating houses would be conferred upon the president by the food conservation bill completed to- day by the house agriculture commit- tee. Blanket authority asked for by Food Administrator Hoover was withheld, the committee deciding to confine the measure " to the features emphasized by Mr. Hoover at committee hearings as absolutely essential in tne food conservation programme. A minority report is expected. By controlling manufacture, the food administration would be ‘able to enforce any rules it might make for conserving wheat and other essen- tial foodstuffs by the use of' substi- tutes. ™ Control of distribution would en- able the administration to relieve possible - shortages in any section by shipping food from other parts of the country. Tn the hearings hefore the commit- tee Mr. Hoover said it was not de- sired to attempt general rationing, but that rigid control of 'public eating houses was necessary to avoid waste and also to stimulate conservation in theyhome, many housewives having knowledge of waste in hotels and res- taurants, Honsewives ang farmers are not af- fected by the measure.

Connecticut’s National marched away long since, as eve: body knows. clothed in ‘he , newly- conferred dignity ond breeches of the federal government. It left be- hind, as everybody may mnot know, enough clothing and equipmeut for a small’army. As it happened, the wholé property, including some 12.- 000 pieces of the old blue uniforms, tell to "the guardianship of am of- ficer who in the interest of the state the nation, and his own records, has chipped it away. Little indeed is left of the old blue-coated guard.

English of Hart- ford, grandmaster, at Masonic tem- ple, Saturday, for a conference rela- tive to the work of the year. The grandmaster urged the deputies. to call especially this - year upon every loyal member of the fraterniay to aid and assist the gov- ernment in every way possible in the conservation of food ad fuel, in the sale of all government securities, in gifts to the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. funds and in the cheerful payment of all taxes imposed. “We must not be deceived Ly anv camouflage of premature peace,” sald the - grandmaster, “whether German or pacifist. This is the criticai mo- ment in an uncompromise con- flict which involbes all that is worth while in’our civilization. “We are sending our sons and brothers to the front to give their iives, if necessary, and we must do our best and do it now. “Some lodges have subscribed for Liberty ,bonds with lodge funds.
