Russians Use 800 Hebrew Families

The charge that Russian forces in

by the Austro- Hungarian Embassy here

"A Russian officer came up before the

to the commander by the officer with the

ISOLATED with\American
Legion Founders.

ice Being Studied by War
Department.
OBJECT Misunderstood

Secretary of War Garrison yesterday
gave expression to his views with regard
to the association of army officers. even
informally, with the American Legion,
which has been the subject of much dis
cussion because of the reported conneC-
ton of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood with il.
In II letter to Gen. Wood, replying to the
latter's report on his connection with the
American Legion. Mr. Garrison declares
it undesirable for officers of the army
to have any connection with organiZa
lions outside OF the War Department
which are dealing or contemplate dealing
with the same subicct-matter."
The Secretary's letter is not regarded
in any sens" a rcbuke to Gen. Wood,
but is Interpreted IS indicating that Capt.
Gordon Johnston. Gen. Woods aid. is ex-
pected to cease advising the founders of
the American Legion.
Gen. Woods letter ampiifiCd in de-
tail his previous statement that his
connection with the American Legion
WAS a conversation with Arthur S.
Hoffmah and DR.. J. r. Haussman. the
former an editor. regarding their
plans. He authorized. he said. Capt.
Johnston to talk over the details of
their proposals. assuring them that
at any time they desired he would
submit to the War Department all
the facts regarding their plan for
helping the government The Secre-
tary's reply to this .s-Jer says:
so far as l have been able to
gather, the purpose OF TINS organisa-
ton is 90 list. classify and keep
track of men of suitable age who
have had previous military training
or possess special qualifications so
that in the event of the need of such
it would he easy to locate them and
avail of their services where required
Department studies Question.
The desirability of the War Depart
ment having such information and being
in a position to avail itself in time of
need of the services of such persons has
been recognized. and the most efficient
way to accomplish this purpos" has been
and is being studied by it.
Until the War Department has COM
pIeted it's consideration of the matter and
has determined upon the way to deal
most effectively Herewith, l consider
that it is undesirable for officers of the
army to have any connection with or
ganizations outside of the War Depart
ment which are dealing or contemplate
dealing with the same subject matter.
Much of the public comment concern
ing this particular organization seems
to be based upon nlisconception of its
purpose and object. but that fact merely
served to emphasize what / nave said
above concerning the inadvisability of
those connected with the national mill
tary establishment having to do with or
ganizations not under its jurisdiction and
with which it has no official connection"

The town of Rumford claims that II
has been done" to the tune Of $l216 by
an inefficient school census taker. Inc
committee was told that the same man
had been employed three years In sue
cession. His work was good two years
but it was claimed that he fell down
badly in his third attempt so that many
scholars were not reported and the
money received from the state was
over $1,000 less than it should nave
been. The school committee had be-
come suspicious as soon as the census
showed a loss instead of a gain IN pu-
pills and caused another census to be
taken. BIZ a careful comparison the
number Of pupils missed was secured
and now the State is asked to rem
burse the town for this amount.
The bill providing that women snail
be elected to the school board in the
city of Waterville and scheduled for
hearing but at the request of Senator
Bartlett was reassigned for next Tues
day.
Cyrus NJ Blanchard OF Wilton and
Hon. George G. Weeks of Fairfield ap-
peared in opposition to the Bernier Dill
which makes school holidays compulso-
~ holidays in all manufacturing es-
Establishments, pointing out to the COM
mit,ee some Of the many hardships this
would cause the mill men of the state.
They also claimed the measure should
not have been sent to the committee
on education, as it deals mostly with
manufacturing interests.
