Squires, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur J. Squires of 134 Union street, is the latest Willimantic man to give his life for humanity, A telegram was received from Adjutant General McCain, Sunday evening, at 6 o'clock, that-he died in France, Aug. 4, of broncho-pneumonia. Private Squires was born in Staf- ford Springs, July_12, 1894. He re- ceive his education in that place, and moved to this city. with his parents about eight years ago. Up to the time of his venlistment, he was em- ploved by H. R. Chappell as a painter. From the first deciaration of war, he tried to enlist. First with Company L of this city, but was rejected. He was refused two .other tines and at the last trial, was told to get on more weight. He was ready to try to en- list again, having . gained several pounds, when it was, ordered that no more enlistmeats were to be.allowed, and he was ‘soon included in a quota fok Camp Devens.

A record-breaking crowd attended the band concert and mass meeting at Recreation Park, Sunday evening, als though the weather was of the most threatening. The speaking wag done from a raised platform, which was decorated with American flags and was received by the large audience with marked attention. showing that the people hungered for points on how they may further aid their sons, whe are fighting for them. The meeting' was opened by the playing of America, the audience standing at attention. = After one other selection, Syperintendent Mar- tindale of the local United States Em- ployment Agency, who was chairman of the meeting, introduced the speak- er of the evening, Herbert Knox Smith of Farmington. Mr. Smith said in part: We can say today what we could not have said a year ago, the Ger- mans will not get to Paris (Applause). Our men and our allies will see that Germany does not win this war. Ger- many has realized that this war can- not be won by force of arms, as they can go no farther forward, and are now being pushed back. - They will soon start peace talk, but it will not work here-as in Russia. In Russia, while the peace truce was being signed, German troops were in- vading Russia_and now hold a large part of it. THe German staff realizes that if peace is declared now, no mat- ter what happens on the western front, with their gains in Russia, they have won the war. The speaker then exhibited a map, drawn by himself, which proved this point. Twice a German victory was only two or three hours off, but they were finally overcome. If they make peace now, it will be our finish, for by their additions, they are trebled in size. Peace proposals will be made by Ger- [nmn paid spies and darn fools. The German war machine has heen large lie, that right makes right. This war is not over a question of territory but whether the sword or a free people is to rule the earth, and that is the only answer that we can give Germany, one must die, and it is the sword. 'We are now over the ridge In the victory, but there is still a long fight. Let all of us, who are not 3,000 miles from the trenches, but in the rear line, get in line, pledge all of our forces, France and England were licked before we entered the war,_ and they admit it. On America and its workers, depends ‘the future of the world. Fight until the principal c¢ America, liberty, is spread over e earth, The concert was then resumed. Brief Mention, Rev.

Saturday’'s program included a con- cert by the McKinnie Operatic Com- pany and a lecture by Peter Mc- Queen, his subject being The Great War. “Chantauqua” has opened bet- ter than ever” was a remark , that summed up how many felt about this year's introductory. entertainments, and there was special satisfaction among the guarantors over the fact that a sufficient number of season tickets had been placed before the opening of Seven Joyous days to al- low making settlement with the Chau- tauqua management on Saturday, the opéning day. Some were disappointed after Sat- urday evening’s performance to learn nl:;t no more season tickets were avail- able Mr. McQueen's lecture on the war was of very great interest and during the course of his talk he made clear that Chautauqua is living up to the president’s suggestion that it be a mouthpiece through which the govern- ment may reach many scores of thousands of people.
