MASS RALLY IN HARTFORD
Declares War Will Be Fought to a
Finish Regardless of Cost of Men,
Money or Time.
Hartford, Conn
Nov. 2. Colonel
Theodore Roolevelt, speaking
at a
mass rally held by the Connecticut
council of defense tonight, declared
tnat tne war would te fought to a
finish without regard to cost In men
or money, or time neeesary to carry
it through to an overwhelming victory
for the allied cause.
The war was
accepted with an object In view, he
said, and would not end until that ob
ject had been obtained.
Referring
to disloyalty In this country, he said
he believed that if Senator La Fol- lette, as a German, had
made the
statements against the government in
Germany that he had made against
his own government, that he would
have been shot before sunrise and if
the I. W. W. did in Germany what It is
doing in the United States there would
be many graves rilled in 48 hours.
Slacker Aliens Should Be Sent Back.
Speaking of aliens who are in this
country, he declared that if they would
not tight for the United States they
should be sent, back or made to work
for the government.
Colonel Roosevelt made a plea that
every man and woman rouse himself
or herself to a greater sense of responsibility, do their duty to the Liberty loans, to the Red Cross and to
the T. M. C. A. and see to it that the
men who are fighting in the trenches for this country and the hope of
humanity shall be backed up at home
by every ounce of strength.
Crowded Woman Fainted.
The rally was of large numbers. It
was in the state armory which was
filled an hour before the time set,
seats alone having been reserved
for ticket holders. A great throng outside was scarcely held in check by
policemen and guardsmen at the entrances.
Women were crowded so
fiercely that many fainted and had to
be taken away. In the end thousands
had to be content wth hearing Colonel
Roosevelt speak to them briefly In the
open air.
On the armory floor In the center
was a small platform. From this Colonel Roosevelt. Governor

Broad street, was greeted with "Hail
to the Chief," but the band's efforts
were hardly heard as to the 12,000 or
more persons, standing on chairs, waving handkerchiefs or flags gave a noisy
greeting.
The home guard opened
up a lane with
rifles at "Present." In
the escort besides the governor were
the military emergency board and the
high. command and the officers of the
Home Guard.
In the seats near the
platform were hundreds of the best
known men and women of the state,
legislative members and departmental
officers.
In one box were Rt. Rev.
Bishop Nilan, Rt. Rev. M. S. Dug-gavicar general, and Rev. John G.
Murray, chancellor of the Hartford diocese of the Catholic church, Rt. Rev.
Chauncey B. Brewster, Suffrngan
Bishop E. Campion Acheson and Rev.
George T. Linslev of the Episcopal
diocese of Connecticut.
Co'onel Roosevelt responded to the
meetings with a wave of his hand.
In his address outside the armory, he
said:
"Self defense is a primary law of
nature. If you don't defend yourself
some other nation has got to do It.

Opinion of Lord Robert Cecil, British

London, Nov. 2. Lord Robert Cecil,
minister of blockade, in his weekly

today that there is not the least
reason to suppose that the Italian

Trade Follows the Advertising
Prevailing prices is always a topic of interest to the buyers, but
never more so than now when almost everything is contributing to
the high cost of living. That very condition, however, makes it more
important than ever that there should be intelligent buying.
A great responsibility rests upon the shoulders of the buyer but
sight should not be lost of the fact that the advertising columns of
a newspaper like The Bulletin tell the housewife or whoever makes
the family purchases, how and where to get the best goods and the
best service for their money. It is an aid which should not be overlooked.
And at the same time there is no way in which the merchant can
keep in touch with his trade or attract .new business like presenting
it in black and white each morning before those who buy. It is one
of the great undisputed facts that trade follows the advertiser. The
Bulletin's advertising columns are therefore bound to be of the greatest aid to those who shop as well as to those who seek trade.
The following summary shows the matter carried in The Bulletin's
columns the past week:
