. “Generals” Dunbar and
1' Both Hope to Bring
Greater Number to
Regent
EXPECT 600
Declare Session Tomor-
row Morning Will Be
‘ Biggest Ever Held in
County
Mobilization!
'Orders have been issued from the
headquarters of the Blue Army and
the Red Army of the Evoryman's
Bible class. for general assembly of
allthsir forces at 9:30 tomorrow
morning in the Regent Theater.
General John Luna. commander
of the Red army. and his adlutant.
Stephen Dokus. are working hard
to bring in the greater number of
members for the first session of
the'class.
General Jesse '1‘. Dunbar and his
staff believe they will be the victors. '
Philip Jakob. General Dunbar‘s‘ad-
jutant has been,busy during the
put few days.
.uAnyway, the prediction is that the
meetingof the Everyman's Bible
Clubs of Norwalk. will be the larg-
. cat militant body of men over mob~
, fixed in the city for this purpous.‘
" To assist in making the mobilisa-
tion as complete as possible. both
armies have appointed General Wil-
lis Austin to have charge of trans.
port and he will apply the method
and so effectively when the Kaiser
threatened Paris in 1914. He will
press into service corps of transports
made up of closed and open autos,
which will comb the outlying dis-
tricts and then converge on the lie-
gont theater picking up recruits for
' both armies enroute. Each auto will
be marked with a placard bearing
the name of the bible class. and
they will pick up every man wish-
ing transport to Regent.
At the Regent theater it is ex-
pected that 600 or more men will be
assembled to welcome James Lee
Ellsnwood. of New York. who has
been selected to be the leader of the
class. Mr. Ellenwood has announced
as his subject for this first session
of the class. Jt is "We are Togeth-
er." and those who attend are as.
sursd of a. most interesting ad-
dress.
The leader of the new class is
well qualified to hold the attention
and win the support of a large body
of men. After graduating from the
Columbia School of Jouraiism he
had the broadening experience of a
period in newspaper work. and dur.
'ing the World War he was a chap-
lain with the American forces. Since
thgarmistlcs he has filled pulpits in
two or three large churches but
withdrew from this work to return
to work among men with the New
York state committee of the Y. M.
C. A.
At the meetings of the class each
fiunday morning there will be a
song period at which popular red
song books introduced here during
the New Crusade will be used. A
supply of these books has been or-
dered. but because they have. not
yet arrived all men who have copies
in their homes are urged to bring
them along?
