SECRETARY HILL IS SPEAKER ON CITIZENSHIP Sixty-five sailors and soldiers en- Joyed the hoffie cooked breakfast at the Y. M. C. A. Sunday morning at 9.30 o'clock. As usual, the women of the auxiliary and several young ladies fi:gv thxe dajervlng, }t‘md as usual the fel- S indicated their real appreciati in no uncertain way. 437 o e speaker scheduled for a brief address was unaveidably detained and ‘Secretary Edwin Hill gave a ten-min< ;ta talk on the subject of Citizenship. he speaker among other things said: Men, I am sure we are all interested in the subject of citizenship. One of thé men assisting in the work on the questionnaires at the city hall was helping a man from Poland the other day and when asked the question “Of what country are you a citizen?” the foi id: “Of no country." ting him insisted that he must be a citizen of Russia, whereupon the foreigner said: “No, we are not citizens there; we are just people. How unliike Russia is our own Ameri ca; here where the poorest man may be just as much a citizen as the rich- est. We often say that a man eannot be a citizen of two countries at the same time, and we all feel that unless a man living in this country thinks much motre of America than he does of the country from which he came, he’ had better go back nome. There is, however, a sense in which Cvéty man can be a citizen of two countries at the same time: one can be at once a citizen of America and a citizen of heaven. We read in the Great Book that a Christian's citizen- ship is in heaven; this is really true, and every man who lives the clean, pure true life enjovs a dual citizen- chip. Tt is not easy to do the things that belong to true citizenship, but the hard things are the things that develop us most. It is not easy to face the shot and shell of the enemy, but the rank and file of our boys in the service are willing to do it, and 1 am sure you shate the courage of all the brave fellows “over there.” Some of our Norwich boys have heen will- ing to face these death dealing missiles and have already paid the price of their lives; many others are willing to do_the same. ‘While you young men are in the service and away from all home re- straints it is very hard to do the things that you know mother, father, sister, brother and friends want and expect you to do, but I am convinced that the vast majority of the fellows in our army and navy are measuring up in this respect, and you are saying no when you are urged to drink and you are more and more turning the deaf ear to the impure women who would lead you down to ruin. I saw a letter recently taken from the pocket of a brave American soldier in France who had been shot to pieces:: it was badly soiled and somewhat torn from being long in his pocket. In that letter the young lady had written ihat she was lonely for the one she loved. but, she wrote, “I would not have you anywhere but where you are, doing your full duty. Since you wrote that you were going up into the front line trenches I have been particularly sad: [ am sorry you have to go there, but though I am very sad about it, I want you to be just where you are serving your country.” This is the type of patriotism the folks at home have and this is the same kind of patriotism that fills your hearts and the hearts of your somrades ‘“over there” 1 believe you are ready to do the hard thing jn’'the physical bat- tle and also the hard thing in the moral battle, and thus you will be citizens of earth and heaven at the same time. ——— e D i PHOTOS OF SOLDIERS AND SAILORS ADMIRED The patriotic window display ar- ranged by the Porteous & Mitchell company in connection with the open- ing of the fourth Liverty loan proved to be a great ttraction and all day Saturday the sidewalk in front of the window was thronged with an inter- ested erowd ‘of spectators. The display, which consists of the photographs of Norwich boys in war service, ie well arranged. Due to the fact that the numbder of photographs received all expectations, it was im- Mpossible to show them all in the large window given over for the display. While it was gratifying to the man- agément to have such a generous re- sponse to the invitation for the loan ¢f photographs for this “Gallery of Honor,” it was also a. matter of deep regret that it was impossible to place them all on exhibition on the opening day of the Liberty loan campaign. Immediate arrangements, however, were made to-dévate one or more ad- ditional windows to this display and these winflows will be ready early this week. Many of the pictures to be seen in this additional display are photographs of -some of the best known Norwich boys in the service and were among those first received, but as they were not classified in the order in which they were brought in, it was impossi- ble to show them in that order. When the exhibit is completed it will form one of the most unique and intensely interesting displays ever ar- ranged for & patriotic purpose ang no Norwich citizen can lock upon that array of photographs of Norwich boys who are reresenting them in this great war for the preservation of human liberties without being inspired te up- hold and support them by every means in thelr power and to the utmost lim- its of their ability.

Machinery for getting to work set in motion right on the time at 8 o'clock on $aturday mormiing through the women's committee Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, but the reporting end had not been sufficiently completed to make an éxact statement of the day's work though General Chairman Will- fam FI. Allen sald on Sunday that hé believed the resulis for the day would approximate $400,000 at least, and mizht go wall over the mark. The women’s committec was not able to give any accurate figure on their work but it Wwas quite likely that it will run over $30,000. The Girl Scouts had not reported, though they were busy all day from theii tent in Franklin square. The Boy Scouts were also hard at work and will probably turn in over $350,000 in subscriptions. All figures for the first day, howevi are liable to revision and may pro duce some startling increages in the sunis mentioned. A In some of the districts the women's eommittees did not do any canvassing or merely confined their efforts to a limited territory beeause of the warn- ing abeut the Spahish influenza sit- uvation but they will abundantly make up for their enforced réstrietion when the field is open again. Two of the women's section that were mentioned as having done con- spicuously soed work were the colored women and the Italian womeh. Two of the latest appointed women's commit- tees were Miss Frances Fields in charge of the Portguese work in al’ districts and Mrs. Martha B.

Two of the hiqrsubsorl tions on Sat. urday were ‘the Thames National bank which took §200,000 worth of the. bonds and the Norwich Savings So- ciety which took $100,000. y The Norwich State Hospital $18.000 of the bouds. At noon on Raturday Tubbs' band patriotically appeared on Union square and gave a concert for half an hour as an opening feature of the cam- paign. < The tank in the window at the Reid & Hughes Co. store on Main street at- tracted much attention during thé day as a reminder that Norwich has start- ed on its journey “over the top” for the Tighting Fourth Lean. “Ain’t it swell, Mame " said one of a group of girls as they came up to the Porteous & Mitchell Co. window where the pictures of the Norwich soldiers and sailors were exhibited. “Why, there’s Jimmy- a sweet boy ™" “That's an awfully good ‘picture of Johnny. Just like the picture I got.” “And thereis George . Don't you love a fellow with a stralght nose? that don't look like Billy — took < Isn’'t he at all. A All day long there was a crowd be- fore all three of the windows where the pictures were displayed and every- hody wanted to find sorne soldier or sailor whom he knew. Not ail of the nictures have beer placed yet, but the 700 on view make a convincing show- ng of the way the young men of Nor- vich are in the service of their cow v and deserve the support of thei ‘ownspeople who can fight with their dol'as if not with bayonets. FOUND IN RIVER CLINGING TO BOAT The quick response of the police to a telephone call Saturday evening saved John Boroski f{rom probablé death when he fell into the river near the Chelsea Boat club. Captain Tw mey received a telephone call Satu day evening from a weman on Wash- ington sireet that a man in the river was calling for help. Sergeant Mat- thews and some police officers were rushed to the place and found Boreskl clinging to the stern of a launch with just his head and hands out of water He was rescued, by the officers and taken to the police station. He could give no_account of his being in the water, ds he was in an intoxicated condition. ESCAPES FROM HOSPITAL, MURDERS HIS WIFE Solomon Brooks, a Russian peddler, who escaped from the Norwich state hospital iast Wednesday, murdered his wife by cutting her throat in_their home -at Hartford on Sunday. Brooks gave himself up to the Hartford po- lice. He was suffering from loss of blood as the result of a gash in. his wrist anq was taken to a hospital Their three children also were taken to the hospital s®#ffering from fright. Brooke was sent to the Norwich hospital on Aug. 12 At the institu- tion it was said that he had been a model patient and had been allowed considerable freedom. SICK MAN CARED FOR AT POLICE STATION Early Sunday cvening Michael Mc- Guire of Providence, employed by the I'red T. Ley Co. of Springfield, came to the police station complaining of being sick. He was told to go to the Backus hospital, but conditions at that institution are so overtaxed that they couid not care for him. He then went back to the police station, where he was given a bed and a physician was called. McGuire according to the physician, is suffering from Spanish influenza. He has been in the Ley hospital at the construction camp for some time previous, but thought he was all over the disease and came out. LEFT STOLEN AUTO AT OCEAN BERCH When at 10 g'clock he came.to look for his touring’car at the rear of the Auditorium where he had left it on Saturday_night about 8 o'clock, Will- iam La Rochelle found the car was gene.

He is one of the great lead- ers of the Raptist denomination and had a particularly valuable and inter- esting account to-give of mission con- ditions. Birthday Party at Sanatorium. A pleasant birthday party for two patients at the Norwich Tuberculosis Sanatorium, Miss Agnes Walsh and Benjamin Waidner, was given on Fri- day evening at which they received many gifts. An evening of games was also car- ried out at the shack to which every- body-living on the hill was invited. Ice cream was served for patients in the infirmary who could not attend the evening was one of great enjoyment for all at the institution. Difficult to Find Time to Write. Letters have been received in town com Norris W. Ryley which state that e reason he hasn’'t writien more oi- ten ig because he has been unable owing to the tremendous amount of work.

Therefore, we whose names appear hereon, have this day met and formed with proper by-laws to govern our ae- tions and deliberation, what is to be known as the American Scandihavian Society of Norwich, Connecticut: Charles W. Fearson Georgs . Ben- =oh, Richard Berkoff, Valentine Pier- =on, Charles Hanson Oseéar Dahl, Nils Jensen, Ivar Ollson. John Vailin, Gus- taf Schelin. Carl F. Bjorn, Theodorée Hliasson, Otto Malmer, Peter Peterson, Carl W. Pearson, Richard Pearson Charles Hagberg, Frank G. Benson, Rev. F. A.

Snyder of Baltimore, Mary- land, was the week-end guest of his sister, Mrs. Willlam Caruthers. Mr. Snyder came from Foston where, as a delegate from the Baltimore Cham- ber of Commerce, he had been aitend- ing the eleventh annual convention of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Asso- ciation. This association for vears past has been urging upon the American pec the advantage of a chain of mod waterways along the Atlantic s board, connecting. the various poris, rivers, bays and sounds into one sys- tem of transportation and within one area, for strategic purposes. The severe ci shortage throughout the seaboard area, has demcnstrated the overburdening of the railroads and the service that can be rencered by these waterways. Attacks by enemy submarines along jthe Atlantic have also emphasized the service that might have peen by a system of protected waterwavs in- side the coast line. War legisiation has placed under federal contro! not only the railroads of our eountry, but many of its best waterways, so for the first time in America’s history, they are being given a chance to show their full measure of usefuiness. Tne railroad administration has already taken over a considerable poriion of waterways, the Delaware and Raritan Canal and the New York barge cannl. This is only a step and the coast will not be secure, until our commerce as well as our naval vessels may move unhampered from Boston to Daau- fort, and nothing should be left un- done to provide safe passage in inland waters for our coastwise commerce, The plan has been in part adopted by congress but most of the actual construction has yet to be done.
