EXPECTS CAMPAIGN
 FOR NEW BOYS CLUB
Supt. Hopes to Raise Enough
 Money For Building.

II feel certain that within another year we will have a strenuous but successful campaign for new build ing for the New Britain Boys club, says Superintendent Robert H. Craw ford. Continuing he reiterates the well known fact that such an organi- zation as the Boys club does much for the rising generation of the city and adds that with suitable build- ing, one similar for instance, to the one that Meriden is to have, the lo- cal club would blossom forth into the biggest thing that ever struck this city. It would pay for itself finan- cially and would also more than pay for itself in the saving of the nor als and character of many of our boys who now have no place to go but into the streets
 Superintendent Crawford has fol- lowed the Meriden Boys club very closely and sees in it the plan of what he hopes to attain for this city. Feel ing certain that in the near future public sentiment in this Hardware City will boost the Boys club and assist in the erection of new build ing MT. Crawford has secured some plans which may be used at such a time.
 Plan Outlined.
 Located preferably on some busy street where the stores on the first floor could be rented, three story building would be a success, says the superintendent. It could be built Of plain brick and four stores on the first floor could be easily rented at good rates. Bowling alleys in the basement with about 150 lockers, bath and toilets as we'll as various manual training departments would work out well. he claims A gymna- sium, we'll fitted out with necessary apparatus, a recreation room, with of fees and other smaller rooms for diff ferent uses could be on the second floor while a few dormitory rooms would add to it's value, he says.
 Reform Schools Fail.
 In impressing the needs of a better Boys club for this city Mr. Crawford quotes from the Rev Thomas Travers of Montclare, N. J. The Rev. MT. Travers is a well known prison work CT and reformer and says that there are twenty-seven Harvard universities in this country-only the text books are text books of crime; there are no vacations and criminological eX- pertness is the degree.

MT. Balfour continued:
 "Nominally we are 'iscussing a bill which was intended to bring peace. but we are actually discussing how war is to be averted. There has been talk about the changed atmosphere in the discussions of tho bill. Does that

NEW YORK, August 4.-The transat-
lantic wireless station at Tuckerton, n. J..
direct with a tower at
Hanover, Germany, and not with ships
at sea, is to be closed because OF the fear
that to remain open would be a violation

MAY CUT CABLES.
Belligerents Can Avail Themselves Of
Vantage if EFFICIENCY Demands.

That cables between the United States
and European seacoast' centers may be
cut by the belligerents within three miles
OF the shore in their jurisdiction is an
eSigency of war that has just been de-
termined by a government official here
Although all the cables between the
United States and Europe are protected
upon the high seas by international
treaties and agreements. they are entire
ly within the jurisdiction of European
governments when they reach soundings
within the three-mile limit on the other
side. Within that limit they may be cut
at the pleasure of the government con-
trolling the territory at the terminal.
The fact that many of the cables are
privately owned would not prevent them
from being cut. officials here believe al
though international agreements provide
severe penalties. In the necessities of
war, they point out, a belligerent prob
ably would cut a cable if it accrued to
her advantage, and pay the penalty aft
erward

The French steamer Lorraine. which
probably will sail tomorrow for

French military experts here express
the opinion that the war could not have

England are equipped and bound to pro-

ed by Germany. 1t was considered high
