At the high mass, Rev. Myles P. Galvin -urged a iiberal response to this letter, in which Bishop Nolan writes: In our appeal for your co-Qperation for the success of the last national loan, we urged the necessity of pre- paring our soldiers then assembling for the journey overseas, of provid- ing for their sustenance while in training, and the equipment necessary to assure them protection against the forces that might dispute thelr pass- age across the Atlantic. The miracle of the transportation of well nigh two millions has been accomplishee with- cut disaster, our soldiers in foree are aver there, and they have been heard from. They tell us that the govern- ment has been diligent and efficient in providing for their welfare; they are well fed, the great problem of ar- my supplies, of arms and ammuni- tion, has been solved. This is the an- swer to those who may ask an ac- counting for the expenditure of far- mer loans. Our soldiers have been heard from in another way. Scarcely arrived at the front, they gave the enemy per- emptory orders to quit, which the lat- ter judged it expedient to obey. Their coming put an end 10 a protracted hesitancy on the part of the allles and the word for the combined forces is now “Forward!” The success of the Fourth Loan will dacide whether this onward movement ijs to continue or whether they are to be kept waiting for the necessary sup- plies of men and munitions of war. The question before us is no longer, “Shall we show approval of the course of the government?” but “Shall we be loyal to our kith and kin who at this moment face the death-dealing en- gines of an implacable foe?” The de- sire of the nation is to back them up, to convert to the%: use all that the country's wealth of material can sup- ply, all that ingenuity can invent, and skill of workmen fashion, and send it themt with reinforcements as fast a8 ships can carry them. “In church and wherever your in- fluence may be felt, kindly urge the necessity of ralsing the amount called for by this loan. Large individual subscriptions are necessarv to make ihe campaign a success. Personal so- licitation on your part among mem- bers: of vour congregation, far from 2iving occasion for resentment, will in- duce persons of means to invest more Tiberally in view of the enormous amount to be subscribed. A personal canvass of those of modest means will greatly increase the number of sub- scribers ‘and besides encourage a habit of saving so essential to prevent the sin and folly of extravagance. “As In the former loan we direct every church to invest in Londs. regis- tered in the name of the church cor- poration, the same to be purchased by surplus funds and the offerings of the faithful. For this purpose a collection will ,be taken up in the churches on Sunday, 3, We trust that this collection will be larger in proportion to the increased quota demanded of Connecticut. The chancery is to be notified qf the amount of bonds pur- chased.” MRS. M. F. PLANT’S MOTHER LEFT WILL JUST PROBATED The will 'of Rowena M. Caldwell, mother of Mrs. Morton F. Plant of Eastern Point, has been admitted to probate at Hartford by Judge L. P. W. Marvin.
